Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of business and significant accounting policies
HealthEquity, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 18, 2002, and was organized to offer a full range of innovative solutions for managing health care accounts (Health Savings Accounts, Health Reimbursement Arrangements, and Flexible Spending Accounts) for health plans, insurance companies, and third-party administrators.
Principles of consolidation—The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HealthEquity, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, HEQ Insurance Services, Inc., and HealthEquity Advisors, LLC (collectively referred to as the "Company"). During the year ended January 31, 2015, the Company and an unrelated company formed a partnership for the management of early stage companies in the healthcare industry. The Company has a 22% ownership interest in such partnership accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment was approximately $281,000 as of April 30, 2015 and is included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of presentation—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2015 and for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The fiscal year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
Marketable securities—Marketable securities consist primarily of mutual funds invested in corporate bonds, U.S. government agency securities, U.S. treasury bills, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, municipal notes, and bonds with original maturities beyond three months at the time of purchase. Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, or trading at the date of purchase and such classification is reevaluated as of each balance sheet date. As of April 30, 2015, all marketable securities have been classified as available-for-sale. The Company may sell these securities at any time for use in current operations or for other purposes even if they have not yet reached maturity. As a result, the Company classifies its marketable securities, including securities with maturities beyond twelve months, as current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. All marketable securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are recorded in other comprehensive income. The Company evaluates its marketable securities to assess whether those with unrealized loss positions are other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company considers impairments to be other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely it will sell the securities before the recovery of their cost basis. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Recent accounting pronouncements—On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for our annual and interim reporting periods beginning February 1, 2017 (although the FASB is considering a deferral of the effective date). Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of the standard on the ongoing financial reporting.

Note 2. Net income per share attributable to common stockholders
The Company computed net income per share of common stock in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities for the three months ended April 30, 2014. Prior to their conversion to common stock, the Company considered its series D-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock to be participating securities as the holders of the preferred stock were entitled to receive a dividend in the event that a dividend was paid on common stock. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders:

During the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred and expensed a total of $1.7 million and $789,000, respectively, in software development costs primarily related to the post-implementation and operation stages of its proprietary software.
Amortization expense for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
There were no changes to the goodwill carrying value during the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014.
Note 5. Commitments and contingencies
The Company’s principal commitments and contingencies consist of a processing services agreement with a vendor, and obligations for office space, data storage facilities, equipment and certain maintenance agreements under long-term, non-cancelable operating leases. These commitments as of January 31, 2015 are disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, and did not change materially during the three months ended April 30, 2015.

Note 6. Income taxes
The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-270, Income Taxes - Interim Reporting, for the computation and presentation of its interim period tax provision. Accordingly, management estimated the effective annual tax rate and applied this rate to the year-to-date pre-tax book income to determine the interim provision for income taxes. For the three months ended April 30, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.9 million. The resulting effective tax rate was 36.8%, compared with an effective tax rate of 41.7% for the three months ended April 30, 2014. For the three months ended April 30, 2015, discrete tax items were not significant. For the three months ended April 30, 2014, the net impact of discrete tax items caused a 1.7% increase to the effective tax rate primarily due to changes in tax rates on the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the same period last year is primarily due to a decrease in unfavorable permanent tax items in relation to income before income taxes and an increase in state research and development tax credits. The federal research and development tax credit expired as of December 31, 2014.
As of April 30, 2015 and January 31, 2015, the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefit was $332,000 and $300,000, respectively. As a result of Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, certain unrecognized tax benefits have been netted against their related deferred tax assets. As a result, the unrecognized tax benefit recorded as of April 30, 2015 and January 31, 2015 remains unchanged at $20,000. If recognized, $250,000 of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits would affect the Company's effective tax rate as of April 30, 2015. The Company anticipates a decrease of $20,000 in total gross unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date related to uncertain tax positions on research and development credits claimed and the untimely filing of certain elections for which a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations is expected.
The Company files income tax returns with U.S. federal and state taxing jurisdictions and is not currently under examination with any jurisdiction. The Company remains subject to examination by federal and various state taxing jurisdictions for tax years after 2003.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the tables above represents the difference between the estimated fair value of common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money stock options.
There were no stock options granted during the three months ended April 30, 2014. The key input assumptions that were utilized in the valuation of the stock options granted during the three months ended April 30, 2015 are as follows:
|
| | | |
Expected dividend yield |
| — | % |
Expected stock price volatility |
| 40.3 | % |
Risk-free interest rate |
| 1.47% - 1.64% |
|
Expected life of options |
| 5.43 - 6.25 years |
|
The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an option pricing model is affected by the Company's stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. Expected volatility is determined using weighted average volatility of publicly traded peer companies. The Company expects that it will begin using its own historical volatility in addition to the volatility of publicly traded peer companies, as its share price grows over time. The risk-free interest rate is determined by using published zero coupon rates on treasury notes for each grant date given the expected term on the options. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company expects to invest cash in operations. The Company uses the "simplified" method to estimate expected term as determined under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 due to the lack of option exercise history as a public company.
As of April 30, 2015, the weighted-average vesting period of non-vested awards expected to vest approximates 2.9 years; the amount of compensation expense the Company expects to recognize for stock options vesting in future periods approximates $14.3 million.

Note 9. Fair value
Fair value measurements—Fair value measurements are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards specify a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
| |
• | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| |
• | Level 2—inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; |
| |
• | Level 3—unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions. |
Level 1 instruments are valued based on publicly available daily net asset values. Level 1 instruments consist primarily of highly liquid mutual funds.
The following table summarizes the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the level within the fair value hierarchy reflecting the valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value:

A derivative liability was recorded related to the Company’s series D-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock due to stated features allowing for redemption equal to the greater of the fair value per share of series D-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock, or the liquidation preference per share of series D-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock. The derivative instrument was recorded at its fair value, using an option pricing model, and was adjusted to fair value as of the end of each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognized currently in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company had classified this derivative financial instrument as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company continued to record adjustments to the fair value of the derivative liability until March 31, 2014, at which time the Company modified the terms of the series D-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock. As a result of the modifications, the Company reclassified the aggregate fair value of the liability to additional paid-in capital.
The following table includes a roll forward of the amounts for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 for instruments classified within Level 3. The classification within Level 3 is based upon significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement.

Note 10. Related party transactions
The Company had entered into a consulting agreement with a company owned by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In connection with the consummation of the Company's IPO in July 2014, this consulting agreement was terminated and as such no amounts were paid to this company for the three months ended April 30, 2015. The amount paid to this company under the terms of the consulting agreement was $81,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2014.
Note 11. Subsequent events
On May 11, 2015, the Company closed its follow-on public offering and sold 972,500 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $25.90 per share, less the underwriters' discount. Certain selling stockholders sold 3,455,000 shares of common stock in the offering, including 380,000 shares of common stock which were issued upon the exercise of outstanding options. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $23.5 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $1.0 million and other offering expenses payable by the Company of approximately $719,000. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders other than $222,000 representing the exercise price of the options that were exercised in connection with the offering.
On May 15, 2015, the Company entered into a lease agreement to expand its headquarters in Draper, Utah. The lease provides for a new landlord to construct a building at its cost and to use reasonable efforts to substantially complete the building by July 2016. The lease will commence upon the substantial completion and delivery of the building to the Company and has an initial term of 129 months thereafter, with a Company option to extend the lease for two additional five year periods. The Company will be responsible for payment of taxes and operating expenses for the building, in addition to an annual base rent in the initial amount of approximately $1.0 million, with 2.5% annual increases. In conjunction with the aforementioned lease, the Company entered into an amended and restated lease agreement for its existing office space at its headquarters in Draper, Utah. The lease will commence immediately after the new landlord acquires the property and has an initial term of 129 months thereafter, with a Company option to extend the lease for two additional five year periods. The Company will be responsible for payment of taxes and operating expenses for the building, in addition to an annual base rent in the initial amount of approximately $1.6 million, with 2.5% annual increases. In the event the new landlord does not acquire the property on or before July 31, 2015, the amended and restated lease may be terminated by either the Company or the new landlord.

Overview
We are a leader and an innovator in the high-growth category of technology-enabled services platforms that empower consumers to make healthcare saving and spending decisions. Our platform provides an ecosystem where consumers can access their tax-advantaged healthcare savings, compare treatment options and pricing, evaluate and pay healthcare bills, receive personalized benefit and clinical information, earn wellness incentives, and make educated investment choices to grow their tax-advantaged healthcare savings.
The core of our ecosystem is the health savings account, or HSA, a financial account through which consumers spend and save long-term for healthcare on a tax-advantaged basis. We are the integrated HSA platform for 20 of the 50 largest health plans in the country, a number of which are among 28 Blue Cross and Blue Shield health plans in 26 states, and approximately 27,000 employer clients, including industry leaders such as Adobe Systems, American Express Company, Dow Corning Corporation, eBay, Inc., Google, Inc., Intermountain Healthcare and Kohl’s Corporation. Through our Network Partners, we have the potential to reach over 60 million consumers, representing approximately 34% of the under-age 65 privately insured population in the United States.
Since our inception in 2002, we have been committed to developing technology solutions that empower healthcare consumers. In 2003, we began offering live 24/7/365 consumer support from health saving and spending experts. In 2005, we integrated HSAs with our first Health Plan Partner, and in 2006, we were authorized to act as an HSA custodian by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In 2009, we integrated HSAs with multiple health plans of a single large employer, began delivering integrated wellness incentives through an HSA, and partnered with a private health insurance exchange as its preferred HSA partner. In 2011, we integrated HSAs, reimbursement arrangements, or RAs, and investment accounts on one website, and in 2013, we began delivering HSA-specific investment advice online.
Our customers include individuals, employers of all sizes and health plans. We refer to our individual customers as our members, all of our health plan customers as our Health Plan Partners and our employer customers with more than 1,000 employees as our Employer Partners. Our Health Plan Partners and Employer Partners collectively constitute our Network Partners.
We generate revenue primarily from three sources: account fees, custodial fees and card fees. We generate account fee revenue by providing monthly account services on our platform, primarily through multi-year contracts with our Network Partners that are typically three to five years in duration. We generate custodial fee revenue from interest we earn on cash assets under management, or AUM, deposited with our FDIC-insured custodial depository bank partners, and recordkeeping fees we earn from mutual funds in which our members invest on a self-directed basis. We also generate payment card fee revenue from interchange fees that we earn on payments that our members make using our physical and virtual payment cards.
Key factors affecting our performance
We believe that our performance and future success are driven by a number of factors, including those identified below. Each of these factors presents both significant opportunities and significant risks to our future performance. See the section entitled “Risk factors” included in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2015.
Structural change in U.S. private health insurance
Substantially all of our revenue is derived from healthcare-related saving and spending by consumers in the United States, which is impacted by changes affecting the broader healthcare industry in the U.S. The healthcare industry has changed significantly in recent years, and we expect that significant changes will continue to occur that will result in increased participation in high deductible health plans that are eligible to be coupled with HSAs, or HSA Plans, and other consumer-centric health plans. In particular, we believe that the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, or PPACA, over the remainder of this decade, continued growth in healthcare costs, and related factors will spur HSA Plan and HSA growth; however, the timing and impact of these and other developments in the healthcare industry are difficult to predict.
Attracting and penetrating network partners
We created our business model to take advantage of the changing dynamics of the U.S. private health insurance market. Our model is based on a business-to-business-to-consumer, or B2B2C, distribution strategy, meaning we rely on our Employer Partners and Health Plan Partners to reach potential members to increase the number of HSAs for which we serve as custodian, which we refer to as our HSA Members. Our success depends in large part on our ability to further penetrate our existing Network Partners by adding new members from these partners and adding new Network Partners.
Our innovative technology platform
We believe that innovations incorporated in our technology that enable consumers to make healthcare saving and spending decisions differentiate us from our competitors and drive our growth in revenue, HSA Members, Network Partners and AUM. Similarly, these innovations underpin our ability to provide a differentiated consumer experience in a cost-effective manner. For example, we are currently undertaking a significant update of our proprietary platform’s architecture, which will allow us to decrease our maintenance spending and increase our budget for innovation initiatives. As part of this project, we are also investing in improvements in our transaction processing capabilities and related platform infrastructure to support continued account and transaction growth. We intend to continue to invest in our technology development to enhance our platform’s capabilities and infrastructure.
Our “Purple” culture
The new healthcare consumer needs education and advice delivered by people as well as technology. We believe that our team-oriented, customer-focused culture, which we call “Purple,” is a significant factor in our ability to attract and retain customers and to nimbly address opportunities in the rapidly changing healthcare sector. We make significant efforts to promote and foster Purple within our workforce. We invest in and intend to continue to invest in human capital through technology-enabled training, career development and advancement opportunities. We regularly measure the success of these efforts, particularly in the context of rapid growth.
Interest rates
As a non-bank custodian, we contract with FDIC-insured custodial depository bank partners to hold cash AUM, and we generate a significant portion of our total revenue from fees we charge based on interest rates offered to us by these partners. These contracts are long-term, substantially reducing our exposure to short-term fluctuations in interest rates. A sustained decline in prevailing interest rates may negatively affect our business by reducing the size of the interest rate margins available to us and thus the size of the custodial fees we can realize. Conversely, a sustained increase in prevailing interest rates would present us with an opportunity to increase our interest rate
margins. Changes in prevailing interest rates are driven by macroeconomic trends and government policies over which we have no control.
Our competition and industry
Our direct competitors are HSA custodians, of which there are over 2,200 competing in the market. These are primarily state or federally chartered banks and other financial institutions for which we believe technology-based healthcare services are not a core business. Certain of our direct competitors have chosen to exit the market despite increased demand for these services. This has created, and we believe will continue to create, opportunities for us to leverage our technology platform and capabilities to increase our market share. However, some of our direct competitors are in a position, should they choose, to devote more resources to the development, sale and support of their products and services than we have at our disposal. In addition, numerous indirect competitors, including benefits administration technology and service providers, partner with banks and other HSA custodians to compete with us. Our Health Plan Partners may also choose to offer technology-based healthcare services directly, as some health plans have done. Our success depends on our ability to predict and react quickly to these and other industry and competitive dynamics.
Regulatory change
Federal law and regulations, including the PPACA, IRS regulations, labor law and public health regulations that govern the provision of health insurance and are the foundation for tax-advantaged healthcare saving and spending through HSAs and RAs, play a pivotal role in determining our market opportunity. Privacy and data security-related laws such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, laws governing the provision of investment advice to consumers, such as the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, or the Advisers Act, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, all play a similar role in determining our competitive landscape. In addition, state-level regulations also have significant implications for our business in some cases. Our ability to predict and react quickly to relevant legal and regulatory trends and to correctly interpret their market and competitive implications is important to our success.
Our acquisition strategy
We have a successful history of acquiring complementary assets and businesses that strengthen our platform and we expect to continue this growth strategy and are regularly engaged in evaluating different opportunities. We have developed an internal capability to source, evaluate and integrate acquisitions that have created value for shareholders. We believe the nature of our competitive landscape provides a significant acquisition opportunity. Many of our competitors view their HSA businesses as non-core functions. We believe they will look to divest these assets and, in certain cases, be limited from making acquisitions due to depository capital requirements.
Key financial and operating metrics
Our management regularly reviews a number of key operating and financial metrics to evaluate our business, determine the allocation of our resources, make decisions regarding corporate strategies and evaluate forward-looking projections and trends affecting our business. We discuss certain of these key financial metrics, including revenue, below in the section entitled “Key components of our results of operations.” In addition, we utilize other key metrics as described below.

We define an HSA Member as an HSA for which we serve as custodian. Tracking the number of our HSA Members is critical because our account fee revenue is driven by the administrative fees we charge per account.
The number of our HSA Members increased by approximately 466,000, or 46%, from April 30, 2014 to April 30, 2015, and by approximately 313,000, or 45%, from April 30, 2013 to April 30, 2014.
The increase in the number of our HSA Members in these periods was driven by the addition of new Network Partners and further penetration into existing Network Partners.

We define AUM as our custodial assets under management. Our AUM, which is our members' assets under management, consists of the following components: (1) cash deposit AUM which are deposits with our FDIC-insured custodial depository bank partners, (2) Cash AUM invested in an annuity contract with our insurance company partner and (3) members' investments in mutual funds through our custodial investment fund partner. Measuring our AUM is important because our custodial fee revenue is determined by the applicable account yields and average daily AUM balances.
Our AUM increased by $844.0 million, or 50%, from April 30, 2014 to April 30, 2015. Our AUM increased by $474.5 million, or 39%, from April 30, 2013 to April 30, 2014. The increase in AUM in these periods was driven by additional AUM from our existing HSA Members and new AUM from new HSA Members added during the fiscal year.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and analysts in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and our board of directors because it reflects operating profitability before consideration of non-operating expenses and non-cash expenses, and serves as a basis for comparison against other companies in our industry.
Our Adjusted EBITDA increased by $4.0 million, or 59%, from $6.8 million for the three months ended April 30, 2014 to $10.8 million for the three months ended April 30, 2015. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the overall growth of our business, including a $2.5 million, or 45%, increase in income from operations.
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

We generate revenue from three primary sources: account fees, custodial fees and card fees. We also generate other revenue, primarily from marketing materials that we produce for our Network Partners.
Account fee revenue. We earn account fee revenue from the fees we charge our Network Partners, employer clients and individual members for the administration services we provide in connection with the HSAs and Health Reimbursement Arrangements ("HRA") we offer. Our fees are generally fixed for the duration of our agreement with the relevant customer, which is typically three to five years, and are paid to us on a monthly basis. We recognize revenue on a monthly basis as services are rendered under our written service agreements.
Custodial fee revenue. We earn custodial fee revenue from our AUM held in trust with our FDIC-insured custodial depository bank partners and our custodial investment partners. As a non-bank custodian, we deposit our cash AUM with our various bank partners pursuant to contracts that (i) have terms up to five years, (ii) provide for a fixed or variable interest rate payable on the average daily cash balances deposited with the relevant bank partner, and (iii) have minimum and maximum required deposit balances. We earn custodial fees on our cash AUM held in trust that are based on the interest rates offered to us by these bank partners. In addition, once a member’s HSA cash balance reaches a certain threshold, the member is able to invest his or her HSA assets in mutual funds through our custodial investment partner. We receive a recordkeeping fee related to such investment AUM.
Card fee revenue. We earn card fee revenue each time one of our members uses one of our payment cards to make a qualified purchase. These card fees are collected each time a member “swipes” our payment card to pay a healthcare-related expense. We recognize card fee revenue monthly based on reports received from third parties, namely, the card-issuing bank and the card processor.
Cost of services
Cost of services includes costs related to servicing member accounts, managing customer and partner relationships and processing reimbursement claims. Expenditures include personnel-related costs, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, common expense allocations, and other operating costs related to servicing our members. Other components of cost of services include interest paid to members on cash AUM and card costs incurred in connection with processing card transactions for our members.
Account costs. Account costs include the account servicing costs described above. Additionally, for new accounts, we incur on-boarding costs associated with the new accounts, such as new member welcome kits and the cost associated with issuance of new payment cards.
Custodial costs. Custodial costs are comprised of interest we pay to our HSA Members and fees we pay to banking consultants whom we use to help secure agreements with our FDIC-insured custodial depository banking partners. We pay interest to HSA Members on a tiered basis. The interest rates we pay to HSA Members can be changed at any time upon required notice, which is typically 30 days.
Card costs. Card costs are comprised of costs we incur in connection with processing payment card transactions initiated by our members. Due to the substantiation requirement on RA-linked payment card transactions, which is the requirement that we confirm each purchase involves a qualified medical expense as defined under applicable law, payment card costs are higher for RA card transactions. In addition to fixed per card fees, we are assessed additional transaction costs determined by the amount of the card transaction.
Other costs. Other costs are comprised of costs of marketing materials that we produce for our Network Partners.
Gross profit and gross margin
Our gross profit is our total revenue minus our total cost of services, and our gross margin is our gross profit expressed as a percentage of our total revenue. Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, including the fees we charge per account, interest rates, how many services we deliver per account, and card processing costs per account. We expect our annual gross margin to remain relatively steady over the near term, although our gross margin could fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these factors.
Operating expenses
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for our sales and marketing staff, including sales commissions for our direct sales force, external agent/broker commission expenses, marketing expenses, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and common expense (such as office rent, supplies, and other overhead expenses) allocations.
We expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to increase the size of our sales and marketing organization and expand into new markets. However, on an annual basis, we expect our sales and marketing expenses to decrease slightly as a percentage of our total revenue over the near term. Our sales and marketing expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our total revenue from period to period due to the seasonality of our total revenue and the timing and extent of our sales and marketing expenses.
Technology and development. Technology and development expenses include personnel and related expenses for software engineering, information technology, security and compliance, and product development. Technology and development expenses also include outsourced software engineering services, the costs of operating our on-demand technology infrastructure, depreciation, amortization of capitalized software development costs, stock-based compensation, and common expense allocations.
We expect our technology and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in the development of our proprietary system. On an annual basis, we expect our technology and development expenses to increase as a percentage of our total revenue over the near term as a result of higher amortization costs related to our planned capital expenditures to improve the architecture of our proprietary system. Our technology and development expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our total revenue from period to period due to the seasonality of our total revenue and the timing and extent of our technology and development expenses.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses include personnel and related expenses of, and professional fees incurred by our executive, finance, legal, and people departments. They also include depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and common expense allocations.
We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future due to the additional legal, accounting, insurance, investor relations and other public company costs that we will incur as a new public company, as well as other costs associated with continuing to grow our business. Looking forward, we expect our general and administrative expenses to remain steady as a percentage of our total revenue over the near term. Our general and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our total revenue from period to period due to the seasonality of our total revenue and the timing and extent of our general and administrative expenses.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets results from our acquisition of intangible member assets. We acquired these intangible member assets from third-party custodians. We amortize these assets over the assets’ estimated useful life of 15 years. We evaluate these assets for impairment at least each year, or at a triggering event.
Other expense
Other expense primarily consists of miscellaneous taxes and loss on revaluation of our derivative liability associated with our series D-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock. We continued to record adjustments to the fair value of the derivative liability associated with our series D-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock until March 31, 2014, at which time the remeasurements ceased. As a result, during the three months ended April 30, 2014, we recorded a loss on revaluation of this derivative liability. However, as a result of our modifications of our series D-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock on March 31, 2014, we reclassified the aggregate fair value of the derivative liability associated with our series D-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock to additional paid-in capital and we ceased to record any related fair value adjustments.
Income tax provision
We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States based on a calendar tax year that differs from our fiscal year-end for financial reporting purposes. We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes, under which current tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on the tax returns for the current fiscal year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, net operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted statutory tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. As of April 30, 2015, we remain in a net deferred tax liability position. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Due to the positive evidence of taxable income coupled with forecasted profitability, no valuation allowance was required as of April 30, 2015.

Comparison of the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014
Account fee revenue
The $4.0 million increase in account fee revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2014 was primarily due to an increase in the number of our HSA Members. The number of our HSA Members increased by approximately 466,000, or 46%, from April 30, 2014 to April 30, 2015.
The growth in the number of our HSA Members from April 30, 2014 to April 30, 2015 was due to a combination of growth from our new and existing Network Partners.
Custodial fee revenue
The $3.0 million increase in custodial fee revenue from the three months ended April 30, 2014 to the three months ended April 30, 2015 was primarily due to an increase in average daily cash AUM of $680.2 million, or 47%, and a increase in the yield on average cash AUM from 1.48% in the three months ended April 30, 2014 to 1.56% in the three months ended April 30, 2015. Custodial fees increased in the three months ended April 30, 2015 as a percentage of our total revenue compared to the three months ended April 30, 2014, primarily due to higher-rate custodial depository agreements added subsequent to the three months ended April 30, 2014 to accommodate our growth in cash AUM. This had a positive impact on our interest yield during the three months ended April 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2014.
Investment AUM increases resulted from an increase in the number of our members choosing to move their HSA assets from cash balances to investment balances, along with market changes (positive or negative) in the particular investments chosen.
Card fee revenue
The $2.5 million increase in card fee revenue from the three months ended April 30, 2014 to the three months ended April 30, 2015 was due to an overall increase in the number of our HSA Members and card activity. In addition, we continued to see a trend toward more HSA spending through payment card transaction swipes and less by checks and ACH or electronic reimbursements, which increased our card fee revenue.
Other revenue
Other revenue increased $99,000 from the three months ended April 30, 2014 to the three months ended April 30, 2015. The increase was the result of an increase in the amount of fees charged to our Network Partners for marketing materials.

Account costs
The $2.0 million increase in account costs from the three months ended April 30, 2014 to the three months ended April 30, 2015 was due to the higher volume of total accounts being serviced. The $2.0 million increase includes $1.3 million related to the hiring of additional personnel to implement and support our new Network Partners and HSA Members, stock compensation expense of $209,000, activation and processing costs of $205,000 related to account and card activation as well as monthly processing of statements and other communications, depreciation and amortization of $89,000, information technology expenses of $56,000, and $114,000 in other expenses.
Custodial costs
Our custodial costs increased $485,000 from the three months ended April 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2015. Our custodial costs on average cash AUM slightly increased from 0.26% in the three months ended April 30, 2014 to 0.27% for the three months ended April 30, 2015, while average cash AUM increased from $1.5 billion during the three months ended April 30, 2014 to $2.1 billion during the three months ended April 30, 2015.
Card costs
Card costs increased $697,000, or 50%, during the three months ended April 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2014. The increase is a result of increases in card spend and RA spend increasing as a percentage of total spend.
As we continue to add HSA Members, our cost of services will increase in aggregate dollar amount to support our Network Partners and members. Cost of services will continue to be affected by a number of different factors, including our ability to implement new technology in our Member Education Center as well as scaling our Network Partner implementation and account management functions.

Sales and marketing
The $600,000 increase in sales and marketing expenses from the three months ended April 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2015 primarily consisted of increased staffing and sales commissions of $361,000, stock compensation expense of $225,000 and other expenses of $14,000.
We will continue to invest in sales and marketing by hiring additional personnel and promoting our brand through a variety of marketing and public relations activities. As a result, we expect our sales and marketing expense to increase in future periods.
Technology and development
The $1.3 million increase in technology and development expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2014 resulted primarily from hiring additional personnel of $868,000. There were increases in amortization and depreciation of $400,000, other expenses of $201,000 and stock compensation of $118,000, which were partially offset by an increase in capitalized engineering of $108,000 and a decrease in professional fees of $141,000 associated to the development and enhancement of our proprietary technology platform.
We will continue to invest in our proprietary technology platform. The timing of development and enhancement projects, including whether they are capitalized or expensed, will significantly affect our technology and development expenses both in dollar amount and as a percentage of revenue.
General and administrative
The $2.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to increased personnel and professional fees of $1.2 million, stock compensation of $476,000 and other expenses of $311,000 primarily related to public company costs (including legal expenses, accounting expenses, and investor relations expense).
As we continue to grow, we expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in dollar amount as we expand general and administrative headcount to support our continued growth and the regulatory and compliance demands of a public company.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets
The amortization of acquired intangible assets was unchanged between the three months ended April 30, 2014 and the three months ended April 30, 2015, as no additional acquisitions occurred during the year ended January 31, 2015 or during the three months ended April 30, 2015.

Loss on revaluation of redeemable convertible preferred stock derivative
There were no adjustments to the fair market value of the series D-3 redeemable convertible stock during the three months ended April 30, 2015.
The $735,000 loss during the three months ended April 30, 2014 relates to a revaluation of the fair market value of our derivative liability associated with our series D-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock. Due to the modification of our series D-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock in March 2014, there will be no further fair market value adjustments.
Income tax provision
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2015 was 36.8%, compared to 41.7% for the three months ended April 30, 2014. The 4.9 percentage point decrease in the three months ended April 30, 2015 over the three months ended April 30, 2014 is primarily due to a decrease in unfavorable permanent tax items in relation to income before income taxes and an increase in state research and development tax credits. The federal research and development tax credit expired as of December 31, 2014.
Seasonality
Seasonal concentration of our growth combined with our recurring revenue model create seasonal variation in our results of operations. A significant number of new and existing Network Partners bring new HSA Members beginning in January concurrent with the start of many employers’ benefit plan years. Before we realize any revenue from these new HSA Members, we incur costs related to implementing and supporting our new Network Partners and new HSA Members. These costs of services relate to activating the account and the hiring of additional staff, including seasonal help to support our Member Education Center. These expenses begin to ramp up during our third fiscal quarter with the majority of expenses incurred in our fourth fiscal quarter. We also experience higher operating expenses in our fourth fiscal quarter due to sales commissions for new accounts activated in January.
Liquidity and capital resources
As of April 30, 2015, our principal source of liquidity was our current cash and marketable securities balances and collections from our account, custodial and card fee revenue activities. We rely on cash provided by operating activities to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, which primarily relate to the payment of corporate payroll and other operating costs, and capital expenditures.
As of April 30, 2015 and January 31, 2015, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities was $114.9 million and $111.0 million, respectively. In addition, as a result of our follow-on offering, we received net proceeds of approximately $23.5 million in May 2015 from the sale of 972,500 shares of our common stock.
Capital expenditures for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 were $2.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively. We expect to continue our increased capital expenditures for the remainder of the year ending January 31, 2016 as we are devoting a significant amount of our capital expenditures to improve the architecture and functionality of our proprietary system. Costs to improve the architecture of our proprietary system include outsourced software engineering services, computer hardware, and personnel and related costs for software engineering.
We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. To the extent these current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required, we may not be able to raise it on favorable terms, if at all.
The following table shows our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the stated periods:

Cash flows provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended April 30, 2015 resulted primarily from our net income of $5.0 million being adjusted for the following non-cash items: depreciation and amortization of $1.8 million and stock-based compensation of $1.1 million. These items were offset by changes in accrued compensation of $3.3 million, accounts receivable of $1.4 million, prepaid items of $871,000 and deferred taxes, inventories, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred rent of $494,000.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended April 30, 2014 resulted primarily from our net income of $2.7 million being adjusted for the following non-cash items: depreciation and amortization of $1.3 million and deferred income taxes and taxes payable of $1.8 million, a revaluation of our derivative liability associated with our series D-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock of $735,000 and stock-based compensation expense of $65,000. These items were offset by changes in accrued compensation, accrued liabilities and accounts payable of $4.6 million, as well as accounts receivable of $345,000 and inventories and prepaid items totaling $185,000.
Cash flows used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended April 30, 2015 was primarily the result of purchases of marketable securities of $40.0 million and purchases of software and capitalized software development costs of $1.5 million. This compares to purchases of software and capitalized software development costs of $1.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 2014. We continue to develop of our proprietary system and other software necessary to support our continued account growth. We also increased our purchases of property and equipment from $480,000 during the three months ended April 30, 2014 to $826,000 during the three months ended April 30, 2015.
Cash flows provided by financing activities
Cash flow provided by financing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2015 resulted primarily from the exercise of stock options of $493,000 and the associated tax benefits of $3.9 million.
Cash flow provided by financing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2014 resulted primarily from the exercise of stock options of $251,000, exercise of common stock warrants totaling $397,000 and the associated tax benefits of $154,000.
Contractual obligations
During the three months ended April 30, 2015, there were no material changes, outside of the ordinary course of business, in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
During the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical accounting policies and significant management estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant or material changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended April 30, 2015, as compared to those disclosed in “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations – Critical accounting policies and significant management estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recent accounting pronouncements
On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for our annual and interim reporting periods beginning February 1, 2017 (although the FASB is considering a deferral of the effective date). Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of the standard on the ongoing financial reporting.
Item 3. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures about market risk
Concentration of market risk
We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from providing services to tax-advantaged healthcare account holders. A significant downturn in this market or changes in state and/or federal laws impacting the preferential tax treatment of healthcare accounts such as HSAs could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. During the three months ended April 30, 2015, and 2014, no one customer accounted for greater than 5% of our total revenue.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents in bank and other depository accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of April 30, 2015 were $114.9 million, of which $500,000 was covered by federal depository insurance. We have not experienced any material losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Our accounts receivable balance as of April 30, 2015 was $10.5 million. We have not experienced any significant write-offs to our accounts receivable and believe that we are not exposed to significant credit risk with respect to our accounts receivable.
Interest rate risk
Assets under management
Our cash AUM consists of custodial HSA funds we hold in trust on behalf of our members. As of April 30, 2015, we had cash AUM of approximately $2.2 billion. We have entered into depository agreements with financial institutions for our cash AUM. The contracted interest rates were negotiated at the time the depository agreements were
executed. A significant reduction in prevailing interest rates may make it difficult for us to continue to place custodial deposits at the current contracted rates.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be unrestricted cash equivalents. Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are held in institutions in the U.S. and include deposits in a money market account that is unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. As of April 30, 2015, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $74.9 million. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates.
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity greater than three months to be marketable securities. As of April 30, 2015, we had marketable securities of $40.0 million. Marketable securities are recorded at their estimated fair value. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our marketable securities are exposed to market risk due to a fluctuation in interest rates, which may affect the fair market value of our marketable securities. However, because we classify our marketable securities as “available-for-sale,” no gains or losses are recognized in net income due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity or declines in fair value are determined to be other-than-temporary.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures included, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II—Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time-to-time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of our business activities. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not a party to any litigation whereby the outcome of such litigation, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows, financial position or brand.
Item 1A. Risk factors
The risks described in “Risk factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2015 could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There have been no material changes in such risks. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face - our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
(a) Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities
None.
(b) Use of Proceeds from Public Offering of Common Stock
On August 5, 2014, we closed our initial public offering of 10,465,000 shares of common stock sold by us. The offer and sale of all of the shares in the initial public offering were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-196645), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 30, 2014. JP Morgan & Chase Co. and Wells Fargo acted as the lead underwriters. The public offering price of the shares sold in the offering was $14.00 per share. The total gross proceeds from the offering to us were $146.5 million. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $10.2 million and offering expenses payable by us of approximately $3.7 million, we received approximately $132.6 million. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our final prospectus (dated July 30, 2014) filed with the SEC on August 1, 2014 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act. We paid a previously declared cash dividend of $50.0 million on shares of our common stock outstanding on August 4, 2014. In addition, we paid a cash dividend of $347,000 on shares of our outstanding series D-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock accrued through the date of conversion of such shares into common stock, which occurred on August 4, 2014. Other than the foregoing dividends, we made no payments directly or indirectly to (i) any of our officers or directors or their associates, (ii) any persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities, or (iii) any of our affiliates. The remainder of the funds received were invested in money market accounts and mutual funds.
On May 11, 2015, we closed our public offering of 972,500 shares of common stock sold by us. The offer and sale of all of the shares in the public offering were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to registration statements on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-203190 and 333-203888), which became effective on May 5, 2015. Wells Fargo acted as the lead underwriter. The public offering price of the shares sold in the offering was $25.90 per share. Certain selling stockholders sold 3,455,000 shares of common stock in the offering, including 380,000 shares of common stock which were issued upon the exercise of outstanding options. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $23.5 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $1.0 million and other offering expenses payable by the Company of approximately $719,000. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders other than $222,000 representing the exercise price of the options that were exercised by certain selling stockholders in connection with the offering. We paid all of the expenses related to the registration and offering of the shares sold by the selling stockholders, other than underwriting discounts and commissions relating to those shares. Other than these expenses, we made no payments directly or indirectly to (i) any of our officers or directors or their associates, (ii) any persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities, or (iii) any of our affiliates. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our public offering as described in our final prospectus (dated May 5, 2015) filed with the SEC on May 6, 2015 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act. The funds received were invested in money market accounts and mutual funds.

THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Lease”) is made and entered into as of this 15th day of May, 2015, by and between BG SCENIC POINT OFFICE 2, L.C., a Utah limited liability company (the “Landlord”), and HEALTHEQUITY, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Tenant”).
For and in consideration of the rental to be paid and of the covenants and agreements set forth below to be kept and performed by Tenant, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Leased Premises (as hereafter defined) and certain other areas, rights and privileges for the term, at the rental and subject to and upon all of the terms, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth.
I. LEASED PREMISES
1.1 Description of Leased Premises. Landlord does hereby demise, lease and let unto Tenant, and Tenant does hereby take and receive from Landlord the following:
(a) The floor area containing approximately 50,000 rentable square feet (the “Leased Premises”) in a to-be-built office building containing approximately 75,000 rentable square feet (the “Building”), located in Draper, Utah, on the real property more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein (the “Property”). The Leased Premises shall be delivered in two separate phases, each consisting of one (1) floor of the building. The third (3rd) floor is referred to herein as the “First Expansion Premises” and the second (2nd) floor is referred to herein as the “Second Expansion Premises.” The Leased Premises is depicted on the floor plan shown on Exhibit “B” which is attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein; Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon substantial completion of the Building, the Building and Premises shall be measured in accordance with BOMA 1996 standards and an addendum to this Lease shall be entered into verifying the exact rentable square feet and usable square feet of the Leased Premises. All items in this Lease which are calculated based on square footage such as rent, parking, tenant improvement allowances, pro rata share, etc. shall be amended accordingly. Tenant has the right to verify Landlord’s architect’s calculations at Tenant’s expense.
(b) A non‑exclusive right during the term of this Lease to use the Common Areas (as defined in Section 20.1 below);
(c) A non-exclusive right during the term of this Lease to use such rights‑of‑way, easements and similar rights with respect to the Building and
Property as may be reasonably necessary for access to and egress from the Leased Premises; and
(d) A non‑exclusive right during the term of this Lease to use those areas designated and suitable for vehicular parking as set forth in Section 20.3 below.
1.2 Landlord and Tenant’s Construction Obligations.
(a) The obligation of Landlord and Tenant to perform the work and supply the necessary materials and labor to prepare the Leased Premises for occupancy is described in detail on Exhibit “C,” which is attached hereto and by reference incorporated herein. Landlord and Tenant shall expend all funds and do all acts required of them as described on Exhibit “C” and shall perform or have the work performed promptly and diligently in a first class and workmanlike manner.
(b) In the event the Turnover Condition (as defined in Exhibit “C”) has not occurred by the applicable “Turnover Condition Deadline” set forth in the Work Schedule (as defined in Exhibit “C,” and as such date may be extended for Tenant Construction Delays (as defined in Exhibit “C”), Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord, as liquidated damages, a payment of (i) $3,000 per day for the first 30 days of delay, and (ii) $5,000 per day, for each day of delay thereafter, until the Turnover Condition occurs.
(c) In the event the Turnover Condition has not occurred by the “Outside Turnover Condition Deadline” as set forth in the Work Schedule (as such date may be extended for Tenant Construction Delays), Tenant shall have the option, in its sole discretion, either to (i) continue to receive the liquidated damages specified in Section 1.2(b) above, or (ii) terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord prior to the Turnover Condition being satisfied. In the event Tenant elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 1.2(c), Tenant shall not be entitled to any further remedies against Landlord, provided, Tenant shall be entitled to receive, and Landlord shall pay to Tenant within 30 days after receiving Tenant’s notice of termination, all payments owing under Section 1.2(b) accrued through the effective date of such termination.
(d) In the event Landlord fails to apply for all necessary footing and foundation permits required for Landlord’s Improvements by September 1, 2015 (as such date may be extended for Tenant Construction Delays), Tenant, as its sole remedy, may elect to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord prior to the time Landlord applies for such permits.
(e) In the event the Turnover Condition has not occurred by the “Outside Turnover Condition Deadline” and Tenant has not elected to terminate the Lease pursuant to Section 1.2 (C) above, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Tenant, at no out of pocket cost to Landlord, in obtaining rights for Tenant to locate
on the Property, on property owned by an affiliate of Landlord, or on property owned by a third party, temporary offices for up to 150 employees for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days. Landlord cannot guaranty that any such property will be available to Tenant for the use as temporary offices. Subject to Landlord obtaining consent of the architectural control committee which has been established with respect to the Property, which Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, Landlord’s agrees to make portions of the Property available to Tenant so long as Tenant’s use of the Property does not materially interfere with the completion of the construction of the Building. The temporary offices will be Tenant’s responsibility to maintain safe and secure, and all power, communication, lavatory facilities, to the extent permitted or required by law, will be provided by Tenant at its sole cost and expense. To the extent not prohibited by applicable laws and to the extent available without adversely affecting Landlord’s ability to construct the Building, Tenant is permitted use the power (backup generator) and communication (LAN/WAN) facilities in the Building during such period of temporary occupancy. At such time as the Turnover Condition has been completed, or if Tenant elects to terminate this Lease as permitted by Section 1.2(c) above, Tenant shall remove all such temporary offices and restore such property to the same condition it existed in prior to Tenant’s occupancy of the same.
1.3 Changes to Building. Landlord hereby reserves the right at any time and from time to time to make changes or alterations to the Building or to the Property provided such changes or alterations do not materially interfere with Tenant’s ability to conduct business or materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights hereunder. Tenant shall not, in such event, claim or be allowed any damages for injury, eviction (constructive or actual) or inconvenience occasioned thereby and shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or receive an abatement of any amounts payable under this Lease, provided, however, that in the event such changes or alterations materially adversely interfere with Tenant’s access to or use of the Leased Premises for a period of at least three (3) consecutive business days, Basic Annual Rent shall be thereafter be abated during the period of such interference. In connection with any of the foregoing activities of Landlord, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts while conducting such activities to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises.
1.4 Intentionally Deleted.
1.5 Right of First Refusal.
(a) Proposal to Lease. If Landlord receives a bona fide offer to lease any space in the Building (the “ROFR Space”) during the term of this Lease as extended, or negotiates a bona fide lease of ROFR Space (other than a Lease for which Tenant has not elected to exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease) during the term of this Lease as extended with a third party, and so long as (i) no default exists under this Lease, and (ii) this Lease is in full force and effect, Landlord shall provide a copy of such written offer or lease to Tenant (the “Written Notice of Lease”).
(b) Exercise of Right of First Refusal to Lease. Tenant shall have the right (the “Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease”) for a period of ten (10) business days from and after Tenant’s receipt of the Written Notice of Lease to elect to lease the entire ROFR Space on the terms set forth in the Written Notice of Lease; provided, however, at Tenant’s election, during the first five (5) years of the term of this Lease following the Commencement Date, the term of the lease for the ROFR Space may be adjusted to be co-terminus with the remaining term of this Lease, provided, further, if Tenant elects to have term of the lease for the ROFR Space to be co-terminus with the remaining term of this Lease, all concessions and tenant improvement allowances set forth in the Written Notice of Lease shall be proportionately adjusted based on number of months Tenant is leasing the ROFR Space compared to the number of months the ROFR Space was offered for its initial term pursuant to the Written Notice of Lease. If Tenant exercises Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) business days after Tenant exercises Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease, enter into an amendment to this Lease, incorporating the terms set forth in the Written Notice of Lease with respect to the ROFR Space (and such other terms as are acceptable to Landlord and Tenant), while maintaining the original terms of the Lease with respect to the Leased Premises. Failure of Tenant to so elect to exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease within such ten (10) business day period by giving such written notice to Landlord shall be deemed to be an election by Tenant to not exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease. Tenant’s ROFR shall continue during the term of the Lease. Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease shall not apply to any extension options or expansion options which are specified in a Written Notice of Lease.

3.3 Additional Monetary Obligations. Tenant shall also pay as rent (in addition to the Basic Annual Rent) all other sums of money as shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease.

Upon the Second Expansion Premises Commencement Date the Tenant’s Proportionate Share will be 66.667% Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Building does not have ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy during an entire calendar year, then the variable cost component of “Common Area Expenses” shall be equitably adjusted so that the total amount of Common Area Expenses equals the total amount which would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Building been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied for the entire calendar year. In no event shall Landlord be entitled to receive from Tenant and any other tenants in the Building an aggregate amount in excess of actual Common Area Expenses incurred by Landlord.
4.2 Payment of Additional Rent. Additional Rent shall be paid as follows:
(a) Prior to the Commencement Date and prior to the beginning of each calendar year after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement showing the Estimated Costs for such calendar year. If Landlord fails to deliver such statement prior to January 1 of the applicable year, until the delivery of such statement, Tenant’s Estimated Costs shall be deemed to be the same amount of the Estimated Costs for the prior year; provided, however, if Landlord subsequently furnishes to Tenant a statement of such Estimated Costs, to the extent such Estimated Costs are greater than or less than the Estimated Costs paid on a year to date basis, Tenant shall either receive a credit or make a payment, in the amount of such difference on the next date on which Tenant makes a rental payment hereunder.
(b) Concurrent with each monthly payment of Basic Annual Rent due pursuant to Section 3.1 above, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without offset or deduction, one‑twelfth (l/12th) of the Estimated Costs, plus all other amounts due and owing by Tenant under this Lease which are not included as part of Estimated Costs (e.g., late payment charges).
4.3 Report of Common Area Expenses and Statement of Estimated Costs . Within one hundred twenty (120) days after each calendar year occurring during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a written reconciliation statement (the “Landlord’s Statement”) comparing the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses payable during the previous calendar year against the amounts actually paid by Tenant during the previous calendar year pursuant to Section 4.2 above. If the annual reconciliation statement of costs indicates that the Estimated Costs paid by Tenant for any year exceeded the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses, Landlord, at its election, shall either (a) promptly pay the amount of such excess to Tenant, or (b) apply such excess against the next installment of Basic Annual Rental or Additional Rent due hereunder. If the annual reconciliation statement of costs indicates that Estimated Costs paid by Tenant for any year is less than the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses, paid by Tenant for such calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any such deficiency within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of such reconciliation statement.
4.4 Audit Rights. Every statement given by Landlord pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless within 120 days after the receipt of such statement Tenant shall notify Landlord that it disputes the correctness thereof. During the period of 120 days after receipt of Landlord’s Statement, Tenant’s advisor (which must be a real estate professional who is in the business of reviewing reconciliation statements on behalf of third party tenants) or certified public accountant which, in either case, is not compensated on a contingency basis may, for the purpose of verifying the Common Area Expenses, inspect the records of the material reflected in
Landlord’s Statement, including such materials and statements for previous years, as applicable, at a reasonable time mutually-agreeable to Landlord and Tenant. Such material shall include but not be limited to the general ledger of the Common Area Expenses on a line item basis. The audit shall be concluded within thirty (30) days of the commencement of such audit and Tenant shall provide Landlord with the results of such audit within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of such audit. The parties recognize the confidential nature of Landlord’s books and records and hence agree that before Landlord shall afford Tenant’s advisor or its certified public accountant reasonable access to Landlord’s books and records, including the copying of said material in order to complete a thorough analysis of the expenses, Tenant and its advisor or certified public accountant shall enter into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby Tenant and its advisor or certified public accountant shall agree, as a condition precedent to their review of such books and records, not to disclose any of the information disclosed in connection with such review to any third party (subject to standard nondisclosure exceptions, including without limitation, disclosures ordered by a court or otherwise required to comply with applicable law). Failure of Tenant to challenge any item in Landlord’s Statement within one hundred twenty (120) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Statement shall be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s right to challenge such item for such year and such determination shall be conclusive for both Landlord and Tenant. In the event Tenant’s audit of Landlord’s Statement discloses discrepancies, Tenant shall disclose the results of such audit to Landlord. Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days to review Tenant’s audit reports and determine if Landlord disputes such reports. If Landlord disputes the results of Tenant’s audit reports, Landlord shall give written notice of such disputes within such thirty (30) day period. Landlord and Tenant shall work in good faith to resolve any disagreements resulting from Tenant’s audit. If Landlord and Tenant cannot resolve such disputes within thirty (30) days of the date Landlord gives notice to Tenant of Landlord’s dispute, either party may refer the decision of the issues raised, if any, to a reputable, nationally-recognized independent firm of certified public accountants (or other organization whose core competency is deemed to be within this specialty area) selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord. The selected firm shall be deemed to be acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, and a determination signed by the selected expert shall be final and binding on both Landlord and Tenant. Landlord shall afford such accountants/specialists reasonable access to Landlord’s books and records to the extent such accountants/specialists deem necessary in order to reach their decision. In connection therewith, Tenant and such accountants/specialists shall execute and deliver to Landlord a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby such parties shall agree not to disclose any of the information disclosed in connection with such review to any third party (subject to standard nondisclosure exceptions, including without limitation, disclosures ordered by a court or otherwise required to comply with applicable law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such certified public accountant/specialists shall determine that Landlord’s Statement for the subject year or any previous years, if applicable, has overcharged Tenant for Common Area Expenses (and such determination is not successfully challenged by Landlord), then
Landlord shall refund or credit to Tenant the amount of the overcharge. If such audit shall determine that Landlord has overstated actual Common Area Expenses by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall, in addition, reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such audit (including the out of pocket costs of retaining its advisor) and, if applicable, expert review. If such audit and, if applicable, expert review, shall determine that (1) Landlord has not overstated actual Common Area Expenses, or (2) has overstated actual Common Area Expenses by less than five percent (5%) then, Tenant shall pay the costs of such audit (including the out of pocket costs of retaining its advisor) and, if applicable, the expert review.
4.5 Limitations. Nothing contained in this Part IV shall be construed at any time so as to reduce the monthly installments of Basic Annual Rent payable hereunder below the amount set forth in Section 3.1 of this Lease.

During the entire term hereof and at its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall keep in full force and effect with insurance companies acceptable to Landlord a policy of Commercial General Liability Insurance with limits of not less than $2,000,000 each Occurrence and $5,000,000 General Aggregate. The policy shall apply to the Leased Premises and all operations of Tenant’s business. Such policy shall name Landlord as Additional Insured and shall provide that coverage for the Additional Insured is primary and not contributory with other insurance. The policy shall provide that such policy not be cancelled or materially changed without first giving Landlord thirty (30) days written notice. Tenant shall at all times during the term hereof provide Landlord with evidence of current insurance coverage. All public liability, property damage, and other liability policies shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with coverage which Landlord may carry. All such policies shall contain a provision that Landlord, although named as an insured, shall nevertheless be entitled to recover under said policies for any loss occasioned to it, its servants, agents, and employees by reason of the negligence of Tenant. All such insurance shall specifically insure the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreement as to liability for injury to or death of persons or injury or damage to property contained in Part X.
11.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive all rights to recover against each other, against any other tenant or occupant of a Building, and against each other’s officers, directors, shareholders, partners, joint venturers, employees, agents, customers, invitees or business visitors or of any other tenant or occupant of a Building, for any loss or damage arising from any cause covered by any insurance carried by the waiving party, to the extent that such loss or damage is actually covered.
11.6 Lender . Any mortgage lender interest in any part of a Building or Improvements may, at Landlord’s option, be afforded coverage under any policy required to be secured by Tenant hereunder, by use of a mortgagee’s endorsement to the policy concerned.
XII. DESTRUCTION
If the Leased Premises shall be partially damaged by any casualty which is insured against under any insurance policy maintained by Landlord, Landlord shall, to the extent of and upon receipt of, the insurance proceeds, repair the portion of Landlord’s Improvements (as defined in Exhibit “C”) damaged by such casualty if such repairs can be completed within ninety (90) days from the date of casualty. Until such repair is complete, the Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated proportionately as to that portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable. If the Leased Premise are unable to be repaired within two hundred seventy (270) days from the date of casualty, Landlord or Tenant may either elect to repair the damage or may cancel this Lease by notice of cancellation to the other party within ninety (90) days after such event and thereupon this Lease shall expire, and Tenant shall vacate and
surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord. If any of the following occur: (a) the Leased Premises by reason of such occurrence are rendered wholly untenantable, (b) the Leased Premises should be damaged as a result of a risk which is not covered by insurance, (c) the Leased Premises should be damaged in whole or in part during the last twelve (12) months of the term or of any renewal hereof, (d) the Leased Premises should be damaged to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the then‑monetary value thereof, or (e) the proceeds of such insurance are not sufficient to repair the Leased Premises to the extent required above (including any deficiency as a result of a mortgage lender’s election to apply such proceeds to the payment of the mortgage loan), then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of casualty; provided, however, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if (i) such Casualty was caused by the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of Tenant or the Tenant Related Parties or (b) as a result of the provisions in clauses (b) or (d) above if Landlord elects from its own proceeds to complete such repairs. Tenant’s liability for rent upon the termination of this Lease shall cease as of the date of casualty. In the event Landlord elects to repair any damage, any abatement of rent shall end five (5) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant that the Leased Premises have been repaired as required herein. If the damage is caused by the negligence of Tenant or its employees, agents, invitees, or concessionaires, there shall be no abatement of rent. Unless this Lease is terminated by Landlord or Tenant as provided herein, Tenant shall repair and refixture the interior of the Leased Premises in a manner and in at least a condition equal to that existing prior to the destruction or casualty and the proceeds of all insurance carried by Tenant on its property and fixtures shall be held in trust by Tenant for the purpose of said repair and replacement.
XIII. CONDEMNATION
13.1 Total Condemnation. If the whole of the Leased Premises shall be acquired or taken by Condemnation Proceeding, then this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting in such Condemnation Proceeding.
13.2 Partial Condemnation. If any part of the Leased Premises shall be taken as aforesaid, and such partial taking shall render the remaining portion unsuitable for Tenant’s business, then this Lease shall cease and terminate as aforesaid. If the Leased Premises remain suitable for Tenant’s business following such partial taking, then this Lease shall continue in effect except that the Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent including any charges for parking shall be reduced in the same proportion that the portion of the Leased Premises or Common Areas taken bears to the total area initially demised. Landlord shall, upon receipt of the award, make all necessary repairs or alterations to the Building in which the Leased Premises are located, provided that Landlord shall not be required to expend for such work an amount in excess of the amount received by Landlord as damages for the part of the Leased Premises so taken. “Amount received by Landlord” shall mean that part of the award from the Condemnation Proceeding, less any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in the collection of the award, which is free and
clear to Landlord of any collection by mortgage lenders for the value of the diminished fee.
13.3 Landlord’s Option to Terminate. If more than twenty percent (20%) of the Building shall be taken as aforesaid, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease. If a portion of the Property or Common Areas is taken such that Tenant cannot, access the Leased Premises, or Landlord cannot provide parking stalls as required by this Lease for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days and Landlord has failed to provide reasonable alternative parking, Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the date Tenant is given written notice of such taking by Landlord. If this Lease is terminated as provided in this Section, rent shall be paid up to the day that possession is so taken by public authority and Landlord shall make an equitable refund of any rent paid by Tenant in advance.
13.4 Award. Tenant shall not be entitled to and expressly waives all claim to any condemnation award for any taking, whether whole or partial and whether for diminution in value of the leasehold or to the fee. Tenant shall have the right to claim from the condemning party, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for damages to Tenant’s business and fixtures to the extent that the same shall not reduce Landlord’s award.
13.5 Definition of Condemnation Proceeding. As used in this Lease the term “Condemnation Proceeding” means any action or proceeding in which any interest in the Leased Premises is taken for any public or quasi‑public purpose by any lawful authority through exercise of eminent domain or right of condemnation or by purchase or otherwise in lieu thereof.
XIV. LANDLORD’S RIGHTS TO CURE
14.1 General Right. In the event of Landlord’s breach, default, or noncompliance hereunder, Tenant shall, before exercising any right or remedy available to it, give Landlord written notice of the claimed breach, default, or noncompliance. If prior to its giving such notice, Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of Notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise) of the address of a lender which has furnished any of the financing referred to in Part XV hereof, concurrently with giving the aforesaid notice to Landlord, Tenant shall, by certified mail, return receipt requested, transmit a copy thereof to such lender. For the thirty (30) days following the giving of the notice(s) required by the foregoing portion of this Section (or such longer period of time as may be reasonably required to cure a matter which, due to its nature, cannot reasonably be rectified within thirty (30) days), Landlord shall have the right to cure the breach, default, or noncompliance involved. If Landlord has failed to cure a default within said period, any such lender shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure the same or, if such default cannot be cured within that period, such additional
time as may be necessary if within such thirty (30) day period said lender has commenced and is diligently pursuing the actions or remedies necessary to cure the breach default, or noncompliance involved (including, but not limited to, commencement and prosecution of proceedings to foreclose or otherwise exercise its rights under its mortgage or other security instrument, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated by Tenant so long as such actions or remedies are being diligently pursued by said lender.
14.2 Mechanic’s Liens. Should any mechanic’s or other lien be filed against the Leased Premises or any part thereof by reason of Tenant’s acts or omissions or because of a claim against Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be canceled and discharged of record by bond or otherwise within thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord. If Tenant fails to comply with its obligations in the immediately preceding sentence within such ten (10) day period, Landlord may perform such obligations at Tenant’s expenses, in which case all of Landlord’s costs and expenses in discharging shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 16.3 hereof. Tenant shall cause any person or entity directly or indirectly supplying work or materials to Tenant to acknowledge and agree, and Landlord hereby notifies any such contractor, that: (a) no agency relationship, whether express or implied, exists between Landlord and any contractor retained by Tenant; (b) all construction contracted for by Tenant is being done for the exclusive benefit of Tenant; and (c) Landlord neither has required nor obligated Tenant to make the improvements done by the contractor.
XV. FINANCING; SUBORDINATION
15.1 Subordination. This Lease is and shall continue to be subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest now existing or hereafter placed on Landlord’s interest in the Property by a mortgage lender (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, including any refinancing thereof, a “Mortgage”); provided, however, such subordination is subject to the condition upon Landlord delivering an SNDA to Tenant. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant concurrently with the execution of the Lease by Landlord and Tenant, a Subordination, Non Disturbance, and Attornment Agreements (“SNDA”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “J” together with modifications reasonably requested by Landlord’s lenders (the “Lenders”). Tenant’s obligation to subordinate its interest in the Lease to future Lenders shall be conditioned upon receiving a similar SNDA. If requested by a holder of the Mortgage, Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time to execute and deliver an SNDA. If elected by the holder of a Mortgage, this Lease shall be superior to such Mortgage, in which case Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument confirming the same. Tenant shall not subordinate its interests hereunder or in the Leased Premises to any lien or encumbrance other than the Mortgages described in and specified pursuant to this Section 15.1 without the prior written consent of Landlord and of the lender
interested under each Mortgage then affecting the Leased Premises. Any such unauthorized subordination by Tenant shall be void and of no force or effect whatsoever.
15.2 Amendment. Tenant recognizes that Landlord’s ability from time to time to obtain construction, acquisition, standing, and/or permanent mortgage loan financing for the Building and/or the Leased Premises may in part be dependent upon the acceptability of the terms of this Lease to the lender concerned. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that from time to time it shall, if so requested by Landlord and if doing so will not substantially or adversely affect Tenant’s rights or economic interests hereunder, join with Landlord in amending this Lease so as to meet the commercially reasonable needs or requirements of any lender which is considering making or which has made a loan secured by a Mortgage affecting the Leased Premises.
15.3 Attornment. Any sale, assignment, or transfer of Landlord’s interest under this Lease or in the Leased Premises including any such disposition resulting from Landlord’s default under a Mortgage, shall be subject to this Lease. Upon assumption by the transferee of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease from and after the date of such assumption, Tenant shall attorn to Landlord’s successor and assigns and shall recognize such successor or assigns as Landlord under this Lease, regardless of any rule of law to the contrary or absence of privity of contract .
15.4 Financial Information. As a condition to Landlord’s acceptance of this Lease, Tenant shall provide Tenant’s audited financial statements for the Tenant’s most recently completed fiscal year and a year to date balance sheet and income statement, to verify the financial condition of Tenant, its assignees or subtenants from time to time during the term of the Lease; provided, however, so long as Tenant is a publically traded company, Tenant’s obligations under this Section 15.4 shall be deemed satisfied so long as Tenant has made such statement available as required by applicable laws. Tenant shall not be required to provide such information more than two (2) times during any twelve (12) month period. Tenant hereby represents and warrants that such information, taken as a whole, will not contain any untrue statement of material fact, nor will any audited financial statements provided by Tenant omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. If required by Landlord’s lender or a potential purchaser, Tenant shall cause such financial statements to be certified by Tenant’s chief financial officer, solely in his or her capacity as chief financial officer, that such financial statements do not contain any untrue statement of material fact, nor do any audited financial statements provided by Tenant omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.
XVI. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES
16.1 Default by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, Landlord shall have the remedies set forth in Section 16.2:
(a) Tenant fails to pay any installment of Basic Annual Rent or Additional Rent or any other sum due hereunder within five (5) days after such Rent is due after written notice from Landlord of such failure; provided, however, Landlord shall not be required to provide a written notice of such monetary default more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period.
(b) Tenant fails to perform any other term, condition, or covenant to be performed by it pursuant to this Lease within thirty (30) days after written notice that such performance is due shall have been given to Tenant by Landlord or; provided, if cure of any nonmonetary default would reasonably require more than thirty (30) days to complete, if Tenant fails to commence performance within the thirty (30) day period or, after timely commencing, fails diligently to pursue such cure to completion but in no event to exceed ninety (90) days.
(c) Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease shall become bankrupt or insolvent or file any debtor proceedings or have taken against such party in any court pursuant to state or federal statute, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, reorganization, or appointment of a receiver or trustee; or Tenant petitions for or enters into a voluntary arrangement under applicable bankruptcy law; or suffers this Lease to be taken under a writ of execution.
16.2 Remedies. Subject to applicable Utah law, in the event of any default by Tenant hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord may at any time, without waiving or limiting any other right or remedy available to it, terminate Tenant’s rights under this Lease by written notice, reenter and take possession of the Leased Premises by any lawful means (with or without terminating this Lease), or pursue any other remedy allowed by law. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the cost of recovering possession of the Leased Premises, all costs of reletting, and all other actual and reasonable costs and damages arising out of Tenant’s default, including attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding any reentry, the liability of Tenant for the rent reserved herein shall not be extinguished for the balance of the Term, and Tenant agrees to compensate Landlord upon demand for any deficiency arising from reletting the Leased Premises at a lesser rent than applies under this Lease.
16.3 Past Due Sums. If Tenant fails to pay within five (5) days from written notice from Landlord, any Basic Annual Rent, Additional Rent, or other sum required to be paid by it hereunder, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. In addition thereto, Tenant shall pay a sum of five percent (5%) of such unpaid amounts of Basic Annual Rent, Additional Rent, or other sum to be paid by it hereunder as a service fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord’s right concerning such interest and service fee shall be limited by the maximum amount which may properly be charged by Landlord for such purposes under applicable law.
16.4 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall be in default of the performance of its obligations under this Lease if Landlord defaults in the performance or observation of any agreement, liability, or obligation imposed on it by this Lease and Landlord fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligations is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes the same to completion (a “Landlord’s Default”). Upon the occurrence of a Landlord’s Default under this Lease, Tenant, at its option, without further notice or demand, and without limiting its right to receive any late delivery payments in connection with Landlord’s delivery of the Leased Premises as specified above, may: (a) pursue the remedy of specific performance or injunction; (b) seek declaratory relief; (c) pursue an action for actual and direct damages for loss; and (d) unless such Landlord’s Default results from Landlord’s failure to perform any construction obligations hereunder, but including without limitation repair and maintenance obligations of Landlord, take reasonable measures to cure such Landlord’s Default to the extent relating to the repair or maintenance of the Leased Premises on Landlord’s account, in which event Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any actual out-of-pocket reasonable costs or contractual liability incurred by Tenant in connection with such cure (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of a written demand, statement or invoice, including reasonable back-up documentation; provided that Tenant shall have the right to withhold from its payments of Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent any such amounts that remain unreimbursed by Landlord beyond such thirty (30) day period until all such amounts have been fully reimbursed, and any such amounts not paid to Tenant when due shall accrue interest thereafter at the Default Rate.
XVII. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE AT TERMINATION OF LEASE
17.1 Surrender of Leased Premises . At the expiration of this Lease, except for changes made by Tenant that were approved by Landlord and the initial Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises in the same condition, less reasonable wear and tear, as they were in upon delivery of possession thereto under this Lease and shall deliver all keys to Landlord. Before surrendering the Leased Premises, Tenant shall remove all of its personal property and trade fixtures and such property or the removal thereof shall in no way damage the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall be responsible for all costs, expenses and damages incurred in the removal thereof. If Tenant fails to remove its personal property and fixtures upon the expiration of this Lease, the same shall be deemed abandoned and shall become the property of Landlord.
17.2 Holding Over. Any holding over after the expiration of the term hereof or of any renewal term with the prior written consent of Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month except that Basic Annual Rent shall be increased to an
amount equal to 125% of the then Basic Annual Rent plus, and in addition to the Basic Annual Rent, all other sums of money as shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease and on the terms herein specified so far as possible. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant, and agreement contained in this Lease. Nothing contained in this Section 17.2 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. If Landlord has delivered to Tenant notice of a termination of a month-to-month holdover and Tenant continues to holdover thereafter, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.
XVIII. ATTORNEYS’ FEES
In the event that at any time during the term of this Lease either Landlord or Tenant institutes any action or proceeding against the other relating to the provisions of this Lease or any default hereunder, then the unsuccessful party in such action or proceeding agrees to reimburse the successful party for the reasonable expenses of such action including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred therein by the successful party.
XIX. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
19.1 Estoppel Certificate. Each party shall, within fifteen (15) days after the other party’s request, execute and deliver to such requesting party a written declaration, in form and substance similar to Exhibit “D”, plus such additional other information as the requesting party may reasonably request. Landlord’s mortgage lenders and/or purchasers shall be entitled to rely upon such declaration.
19.2 Effect of Failure to Provide Estoppel Certificate. Tenant’s failure to furnish any estoppel certificate as required pursuant to Section 19.1 within fifteen (15) days after request therefor shall be deemed a default hereunder and moreover, it shall be conclusively presumed that: (a) this Lease is in full force and effect without modification in accordance with the terms set forth in the request; (b) that there are no unusual breaches or defaults on the part of Landlord; and (c) no more than one (1) month’s rent has been paid in advance.
XX. COMMON AREAS
20.1 Definition of Common Areas. “Common Areas” means all areas, space, equipment, and special services provided for the joint or common use and benefit of the tenants or occupants of the Building, the Improvements, and Property or portions thereof, and their employees, agents, servants, patients, customers, and other invitees (collectively referred to herein as “Occupants”) including, without limitation, parking, access roads, driveways, retaining walls, landscaped areas, serviceways, loading docks, pedestrian walks; courts, stairs, ramps, and sidewalks; common corridors, rooms and restrooms; air‑conditioning, fan, janitorial, electrical, and telephone rooms or closets; and all other areas within the Building which are not specified for exclusive use or occupancy by Landlord or any tenant (whether or not they are leased or occupied).
20.2 License to Use Common Areas. The Common Areas shall be available for the common use of all Occupants. If the amount of such areas shall be changed or diminished, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or abatement of rent nor shall revocation or diminution of such areas be deemed constructive or actual eviction, provided, however, that such changes or dimishment of the Common Areas shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease. All Common Areas shall be subject to the exclusive control and management of Landlord. Landlord shall have the right (a) to construct, maintain, and operate lighting and other facilities on all said areas and improvements; (b) to police the same; (c) to change the area, level, location, and arrangement of parking areas and other facilities, provided, Landlord shall not make changes to the parking areas which decreases the stalls below those required under this Lease without Tenant’s prior written approval; (d) to close all or any portion of said areas or facilities to such extent as may be legally sufficient to prevent a dedication thereof or the accrual of any right to any person or the public therein; and (e) to close temporarily all or any portion of the parking areas or facilities to discourage non‑occupant parking. Landlord shall operate and maintain the Common Areas in such manner as Landlord in its reasonable discretion shall determine, shall have full right and authority to employ and discharge all personnel with respect thereto, and shall have the right, through reasonable rules, regulations, and/or restrictive covenants promulgated by it from time to time, to control the use and operation of the Common Areas in order that the same may occur in a proper and orderly fashion, provided that such rules, regulations and restrictive covenants shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease.
20.3 Parking. Landlord shall provide an allocation of six (6) parking spaces for each 1,000 rentable square feet of the Leased Premises leased by Tenant in the parking area immediately adjacent to the Building as approximately shown on the preliminary site plan attached Exhibit “A-1”. In the event the Leased Premises is contracted during the Term, Tenant’s allocation of parking shall be adjusted in accordance with the aforementioned ratio Tenant may utilize any stalls provided by Landlord as visitor stalls for parking of Tenant’s visitors. If requested by Tenant, food trucks serving Tenant’s occupants may be parked on the Property in areas reasonably designated by Landlord,
provided, however, Tenant shall be responsible for any repairs or maintenance required as a result of such food trucks entry onto the Property, and Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its affiliates against and from any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, orders, judgments, and any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation), resulting from or incurred by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord on account of such food truck’s entry onto and use of the Property.
20.4 Generator. Tenant may elect, by delivering written notice to Landlord, to install an emergency generator which serves the Leased Premises. In the event Tenant elects to install a generator, Landlord shall designate a reasonable spot for the location of the generator. The generator shall be installed by Tenant pursuant to plans and specifications approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Tenant installs the generator on or before the date which is six (6) months after the First Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date, Landlord shall contribute up to $40,000, for the actual costs of such generator. The generator, once installed, shall become the property of the Landlord; provided, however, upon the expiration of the term of this Agreement, Tenant may elect to purchase the generator for an amount equal to the costs contributed by Landlord for the generator, depreciated over the useful life of the generator.
XXI. SIGNS, AWNINGS, AND CANOPIES
Tenant shall have the right to non-exclusive crown building signage on the Building, which signage shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall not grant any other tenant crown building signage unless said tenant occupies at a minimum of 15,000 square feet of Building. Landlord shall provide lobby directory signage at no cost to Tenant. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that signage similar to Tenant’s signage on the adjacent existing building is hereby approved by Landlord, but remains subject to continuing governmental approvals. Tenant shall not place or suffer to be placed or maintained on any exterior door, wall, or window of the Leased Premises, or elsewhere in the Building, any sign, awning, marquee, decoration, lettering, attachment, or canopy, or advertising matter or other thing of any kind and will not place or maintain any decoration, lettering, or advertising matter on the glass of any window or door of the exterior of the Leased Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant further agrees to maintain such sign, awning, canopy, decoration, lettering, advertising matter, or other things, as may be approved, in good condition and repair at all times. Landlord may, at Tenant’s cost, and without liability to Tenant, enter the Leased Premises and remove any item erected in violation of this Section. Landlord may establish rules and regulations governing the size, type, and design of all signs, decorations, etc., and Tenant agrees to abide thereby, provided, however, that such rules and regulations shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease.
XXII. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
22.1 No Partnership. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, or by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent, or of partnership, or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of rent nor any other provision contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
22.2 Force Majeure . Landlord shall be excused for the period of any delay in the performance of any obligations hereunder when prevented from so doing by cause or causes beyond Landlord’s control, including, without limitation, labor disputes, civil commotion, war, governmental regulations or controls, fire or other casualty, inability to obtain any material or service, or acts of God, or the acts or omissions of Tenant or the Tenant Related Parties (“Force Majeure Delays”).
22.3 No Waiver. Failure of Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any provision or to exercise any option hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver be in writing signed by Landlord.

(b) Exhibits referred to in this Lease, and any addendums and schedules attached to this Lease shall be deemed to be incorporated in this Lease as though part thereof.
22.6 Recording. Tenant may not record this Lease or a memorandum thereof without the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord, at its option and at any time, may file this Lease for record with the Recorder of the County in which the Building is located.
22.7 Partial Invalidity.

Landlord agrees to pay Tenant’s Broker a commission pursuant to a separate agreement between Landlord and Tenant’s Broker.
22.9 Tenant Defined; Use of Pronouns. The word “Tenant” shall be deemed and taken to mean each and every person or party executing this document as a Tenant herein. If there is more than one person or organization set forth on the signature line as Tenant, their liability hereunder shall be joint and several. If there is more than one Tenant, any notice required or permitted by the terms of this Lease may be given by or to
any one thereof, and shall have the same force and effect as if given by or to all thereof. The use of the neuter singular pronoun to refer to Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed a proper reference even though Landlord or Tenant may be an individual, a partnership, a corporation, or a group of two or more individuals or corporations. The necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions of this Lease apply in the plural sense where there is more than one Landlord or Tenant and to corporations, associations, partnerships, or individuals, males or females, shall in all instances be assumed as though in each case fully expressed.
22.10 Provisions Binding, Etc. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein including, specifically and without limitation, Section 9, all provisions herein shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties, their legal representative, heirs, successors, and assigns. Each provision to be performed by Tenant shall be construed to be both a covenant and a condition, and if there shall be more than one Tenant, they shall all be bound, jointly and severally, by such provisions. In the event of any sale or assignment (except for purposes of security or collateral) by Landlord of the Building, the Leased Premises or this Lease, Landlord shall, from and after the Commencement Date (irrespective of when such sale or assignment occurs), be entirely relieved of all of its obligations hereunder upon assumption by the transferee of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease from and after the date of such transfer. Nothing set forth herein shall require Landlord to obtain Tenant’s consent to any assignment, transfer or other encumbrance of any of Landlord’s interest in the Property, the Leased Premises, the Improvements or the Common Areas.
22.11 Entire Agreement, Etc. This Lease and the Exhibits, Riders, and/or Addenda, if any, attached hereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties. Any guaranty attached hereto is an integral part of this Lease and constitutes consideration given to Landlord to enter in this Lease. Any prior conversations or writings are merged herein and extinguished. No subsequent amendment to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless reduced to writing and signed. Submission of this Lease for examination does not constitute an option for the Leased Premises and becomes effective as a lease only upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord to Tenant. If any provision contained in the rider or addenda is inconsistent with a provision in the body of this Lease, the provision contained in said rider or addenda shall control.

The FMV shall be determined on the basis of the assumptions that the FMV shall be projected to the commencement date of the applicable renewal term. The FMV shall not take into account any existing tenant improvements, but shall take into account the following factors:
| |
i. | Rental for comparable premises in comparable existing and/or newly constructed (as applicable) buildings (taking into consideration, but not limited to, use, location and/or floor level within the applicable building, definition of net gross area, building load factor/efficiency, quality, age, and location of the applicable buildings), or any special uses or rights afforded to the Tenant under the Lease in connection with the Leased Premises; |

| |
iv. | Tenant improvement allowance, rent credit, moving allowance, space planning, or similar inducements; |

If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the FMV within 30 days after the date of Tenant’s notice of intent to renew (“Negotiation Period”), either party may elect, by written notice delivered to the other party, to determine the FMV by appraiser opinion of value as follows. The determination of FMV shall be determined by three independent MAI appraisers licensed in the State of Utah and selected one by the Tenant, one by the Landlord and the third appraiser being selected by the two appraisers selected by Landlord and Tenant. The appraisers shall have a minimum experience of 10 years in the Salt Lake City office market. The appraisers selected by Tenant and Landlord shall present his/her opinion of FMV within 30 days following the Negotiation Period. In the event the two opinions of FMV are within 5% of each other in overall value than the average value will be used to determine the final terms of the lease renewal. In the event the two opinions differ by more than 5% then the third agent shall review the opinions of value of the other original two appraisers and shall prepare a final opinion of value based on his or her assessment of the market that shall be binding on both parties. The third agent shall not be bound to pick one or the other of the opinions but may determine its opinion unrelated to the other two. The cost of the appraiser panel shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant.

Tenant intentionally and unconditionally waives, relinquishes and subordinates all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to the Property to the lien of the Security Instrument and understands that in reliance upon, and in consideration of, this waiver, relinquishment and subordination, specific loans and advances are being and will be made by Lender and, as part and parcel thereof, specific monetary and other obligations are being and will be entered into which would not be made or entered into but for said reliance upon this waiver, relinquishment and subordination. |
2. ASSIGNMENT. Tenant acknowledges and consents to the assignment of the Lease by Mortgagor in favor of Lender.
| |
3. | ESTOPPEL. Tenant acknowledges and represents that: |

| |
3.2 | No Prepaid Rent. No deposits or prepayments of rent have been made in connection with the Lease, except as follows (if none, state “None”): ; |
| |
3.3 | No Default.

(d) A non‑exclusive right during the term of this Lease to use those areas designated and suitable for vehicular parking as set forth in Section 20.3 below.
1.2 Landlord and Tenant’s Construction Obligations.
(a) Tenant is currently in possession of the Leased Premises and accepts the Leased Premises in its “as-is,” “where-is” and “with all faults” condition. Except for providing the Tenant Improvement Allowance and construction obligations of Landlord pursuant to Section 1.2 (b), Landlord shall have no obligation to construct or pay for any improvements in the Leased Premises. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with the Tenant Improvement Allowance in accordance with Exhibit “C.”
(b) As of the date hereof, the Property does not contain parking which permits Tenant to have a parking ratio of six (6) stalls per 1,000 rentable square feet in the Leased Premises. On or before October 1, 2015, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, construct 161 additional parking stalls on the Property (the “Additional Parking”).

1.5 Right of First Refusal.
(a) Proposal to Lease. Subject to the rights of existing tenants in the Building, if Landlord receives a bona fide offer to lease any space in the Building (the “ROFR Space”) during the term of this Lease as extended, or negotiates a bona fide lease of ROFR Space (other than a Lease for which Tenant has not elected to exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease) during the term of this Lease as extended with a third party, and so long as (i) no default exists under this Lease, and (ii) this Lease is in full force and effect, Landlord shall provide a copy of such written offer or lease to Tenant (the “Written Notice of Lease”).
(b) Exercise of Right of First Refusal to Lease. Tenant shall have the right (the “Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease”) for a period of ten (10) business days from and after Tenant’s receipt of the Written Notice of Lease to elect to lease the entire ROFR Space on the terms set forth in the Written Notice of Lease; provided, however, at Tenant’s election, during the first five (5) years of the term of this Lease following the Commencement Date, the term of the lease for the ROFR Space may be adjusted to be co-terminus with the remaining term of this Lease, provided, further, if Tenant elects to have term of the lease for the ROFR Space to be co-terminus with the remaining term of this Lease, all concessions and tenant improvement allowances set forth in the Written Notice of Lease shall be proportionately adjusted based on number of months Tenant is leasing the ROFR Space compared to the number of months the ROFR Space was offered for its initial term pursuant to the Written Notice of Lease. If Tenant exercises Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) business days after Tenant exercises Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease, enter into an amendment to this Lease, incorporating the terms set forth in the Written Notice of Lease with respect to the ROFR Space (and such other terms as are acceptable to Landlord and Tenant), while maintaining the original terms of the Lease with respect to the Leased Premises. Failure of Tenant to so elect to exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease within such ten (10) business day period by giving such written notice to Landlord shall be deemed to be an election by Tenant to not exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease. Tenant’s ROFR shall continue during the term of the Lease. Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease shall not apply to any extension options or expansion options which are specified in a Written Notice of Lease. Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall continue throughout the Lease Term, as may be extended.
(c) Failure to Exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease. In the event Tenant fails to, or is deemed to have failed to, exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal, Landlord shall be free thereafter to lease the ROFR Space, within six (6) months after Tenant’s receipt of the Written Notice of Lease, provided, however, that if Landlord does
not lease such space within six (6) months of Tenant’s receipt of the Written Notice of Lease, or if Landlord proposes to lease the ROFR Space on terms materially different than those contained in the Written Notice of Lease, Landlord shall be required to again offer the ROFR Space to Tenant prior to leasing the ROFR Space to the originally named party on the Written Notice of Lease.
(d) Limitations on Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease. Tenant’s Right of First Refusal to Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any Mortgage encumbering the Property.
(e) Non Assignable. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, except for a Related Entity, the rights under this Section 1.5 may not be exercised by any assignee, sublessee or other transferee of Tenant.
1.6 Contingency Acquisition. Landlord does not currently own the Property. Tenant’s and Landlord’s obligations under this Lease are contingent upon Landlord acquiring the Property. In the event Landlord does not acquire the Property on or before July 31, 2015, either party may at any time thereafter, and until such time as Landlord has acquired the Property, elect to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to the other party.
II. TERM

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Building does not have ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy during an entire calendar year, then the variable cost component of “Common Area Expenses” shall be equitably adjusted so that the total amount of Common Area Expenses equals the total amount which would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Building been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied for the entire calendar year. In no event shall Landlord be entitled to receive from Tenant and any other tenants in the Building an aggregate amount in excess of actual Common Area Expenses incurred by Landlord.
4.2 Payment of Additional Rent. Additional Rent shall be paid as follows:
(a) Prior to the Commencement Date and prior to the beginning of each calendar year after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement showing the Estimated Costs for such calendar year. If Landlord fails to deliver such statement prior to January 1 of the applicable year, until the delivery of such statement, Tenant’s Estimated Costs shall be deemed to be the same amount of the Estimated Costs for the prior year; provided, however, if Landlord subsequently furnishes to Tenant a statement of such Estimated Costs, to the extent such Estimated Costs are greater than or less than the Estimated Costs paid on a year to date basis, Tenant shall either receive a credit or make a payment, in the amount of such difference on the next date on which Tenant makes a rental payment hereunder.
(b) Concurrent with each monthly payment of Basic Annual Rent due pursuant to Section 3.1 above, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without offset or deduction, one‑twelfth (l/12th) of the Estimated Costs, plus all other amounts due and owing by Tenant under this Lease which are not included as part of Estimated Costs (e.g., late payment charges).
4.3 Report of Common Area Expenses and Statement of Estimated Costs . Within one hundred twenty (120) days after each calendar year occurring during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a written reconciliation statement (the “Landlord’s Statement”) comparing the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses payable during the previous calendar year against the amounts actually paid by Tenant during the previous calendar year pursuant to Section 4.2 above. If the annual reconciliation statement of costs indicates that the Estimated Costs paid by Tenant for any year exceeded the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses, Landlord, at its election, shall either (a) promptly pay the amount of such excess to Tenant, or (b) apply such excess against the next installment of Basic Annual Rental or Additional Rent due hereunder. If the annual reconciliation statement of costs indicates that Estimated Costs paid by Tenant for any year is less than the actual amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Common Area Expenses, paid by Tenant for such calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any such deficiency within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of such reconciliation statement.
4.4 Audit Rights. Every statement given by Landlord pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless within 120 days after the receipt of such statement Tenant shall notify Landlord that it disputes the correctness thereof. During the period of 120 days after receipt of Landlord’s Statement, Tenant’s advisor (which must be a real estate professional who is in the business of reviewing reconciliation statements on behalf of third party tenants) or certified public accountant which, in either case, is not compensated on a contingency basis may, for the purpose of verifying the Common Area Expenses, inspect the records of the material reflected in Landlord’s Statement, including such materials and statements for previous years, as
applicable, at a reasonable time mutually-agreeable to Landlord and Tenant. Such material shall include but not be limited to the general ledger of the Common Area Expenses on a line item basis. The audit shall be concluded within thirty (30) days of the commencement of such audit and Tenant shall provide Landlord with the results of such audit within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of such audit. The parties recognize the confidential nature of Landlord’s books and records and hence agree that before Landlord shall afford Tenant’s advisor or its certified public accountant reasonable access to Landlord’s books and records, including the copying of said material in order to complete a thorough analysis of the expenses, Tenant and its advisor or certified public accountant shall enter into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby Tenant and its advisor or certified public accountant shall agree, as a condition precedent to their review of such books and records, not to disclose any of the information disclosed in connection with such review to any third party (subject to standard nondisclosure exceptions, including without limitation, disclosures ordered by a court or otherwise required to comply with applicable law). Failure of Tenant to challenge any item in Landlord’s Statement within one hundred twenty (120) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Statement shall be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s right to challenge such item for such year and such determination shall be conclusive for both Landlord and Tenant. In the event Tenant’s audit of Landlord’s Statement discloses discrepancies, Tenant shall disclose the results of such audit to Landlord. Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days to review Tenant’s audit reports and determine if Landlord disputes such reports. If Landlord disputes the results of Tenant’s audit reports, Landlord shall give written notice of such disputes within such thirty (30) day period. Landlord and Tenant shall work in good faith to resolve any disagreements resulting from Tenant’s audit. If Landlord and Tenant cannot resolve such disputes within thirty (30) days of the date Landlord gives notice to Tenant of Landlord’s dispute, either party may refer the decision of the issues raised, if any, to a reputable, nationally-recognized independent firm of certified public accountants (or other organization whose core competency is deemed to be within this specialty area) selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord. The selected firm shall be deemed to be acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, and a determination signed by the selected expert shall be final and binding on both Landlord and Tenant. Landlord shall afford such accountants/specialists reasonable access to Landlord’s books and records to the extent such accountants/specialists deem necessary in order to reach their decision. In connection therewith, Tenant and such accountants/specialists shall execute and deliver to Landlord a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby such parties shall agree not to disclose any of the information disclosed in connection with such review to any third party (subject to standard nondisclosure exceptions, including without limitation, disclosures ordered by a court or otherwise required to comply with applicable law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such certified public accountant/specialists shall determine that Landlord’s Statement for the subject year or any previous years, if applicable, has overcharged Tenant for Common Area Expenses (and such determination is not successfully challenged by Landlord), then Landlord shall refund or credit to Tenant the amount of the overcharge. If such audit
shall determine that Landlord has overstated actual Common Area Expenses by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall, in addition, reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such audit (including the out of pocket costs of retaining its advisor) and, if applicable, expert review. If such audit and, if applicable, expert review, shall determine that (1) Landlord has not overstated actual Common Area Expenses, or (2) has overstated actual Common Area Expenses by less than five percent (5%) then, Tenant shall pay the costs of such audit (including the out of pocket costs of retaining its advisor) and, if applicable, the expert review.
4.5 Limitations. Nothing contained in this Part IV shall be construed at any time so as to reduce the monthly installments of Basic Annual Rent payable hereunder below the amount set forth in Section 3.1 of this Lease.

If Tenant has performed all such terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease, such sum shall be returned to Tenant after the expiration of the term of this Lease and delivery of possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord. Prior to the time that Tenant is entitled to any return of the security deposit, Landlord may intermingle such deposit with its own funds and use such sum for such purposes as Landlord may determine.

In the event of default by Tenant in respect to any of its obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Basic Annual Rent or Additional Rent, Landlord may use, apply, or retain all or any part of the security deposit for the satisfaction of any unpaid Basic Annual Rent or Additional Rent. Landlord may apply the security deposit to any expenses incurred by reason of the default of Tenant, including any damages or deficiency in the reletting of the Leased Premises, regardless of whether the accrual of such damages or deficiency occurs before or after an eviction or a portion of the security deposit is so used or applied. Tenant shall, upon five (5) days written demand, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount. Within thirty (30) days of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return to Tenant any portion of the security deposit which Landlord has not applied, or is not entitled to apply, to the obligations of Tenant as permitted by this Lease.

(iv)The person to whom the Transfer, Sublease or Pledge is to be made will not agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Lease; provided that the Lease shall not be enforceable against person to whom the Lease or Leased Premises is to be Pledged until after the foreclosure or other realization upon its lien or security interest.
(c)Except as set forth in Section 9.3(b), Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that: (i) Tenant promptly provides to Landlord all information requested by Landlord pursuant to Section 9.3(a) and Landlord determines that such information is sufficient to allow Landlord to accurately evaluate the financial condition of the person to whom the Transfer, Sublease or Pledge is to be made; and (ii) Tenant and the person to whom the Transfer, Sublease or Pledge is to be made, agree in writing to all of the rights of Landlord set forth in Section 9.4.

Such collection, however, shall not constitute consent or waiver of the necessity of written consent to such Transfer, Sublease or Pledge, nor shall such collection constitute the recognition of such person or any other person as the “Tenant” under this Lease or constitute or result in a release of Tenant from the further performance of all of the covenants and obligations pursuant to this Lease, including the obligation to pay rent and other charges and other amounts due under this Lease.
(b) In the event that any rent or additional consideration payable after a Transfer exceed the rents and additional consideration payable under this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall share equally in the amount of any profits.

13.4 Award. Tenant shall not be entitled to and expressly waives all claim to any condemnation award for any taking, whether whole or partial and whether for diminution in value of the leasehold or to the fee. Tenant shall have the right to claim from the condemning party, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for damages to Tenant’s business and fixtures to the extent that the same shall not reduce Landlord’s award.
13.5 Definition of Condemnation Proceeding .

Should any mechanic’s or other lien be filed against the Leased Premises or any part thereof by reason of Tenant’s acts or omissions or because of a claim against Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be canceled and discharged of record by bond or otherwise within thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord. If Tenant fails to comply with its obligations in the immediately preceding sentence within such ten (10) day period, Landlord may perform such obligations at Tenant’s expenses, in which case all of Landlord’s costs and expenses in discharging shall
be immediately due and payable by Tenant and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 16.3 hereof. Tenant shall cause any person or entity directly or indirectly supplying work or materials to Tenant to acknowledge and agree, and Landlord hereby notifies any such contractor, that: (a) no agency relationship, whether express or implied, exists between Landlord and any contractor retained by Tenant; (b) all construction contracted for by Tenant is being done for the exclusive benefit of Tenant; and (c) Landlord neither has required nor obligated Tenant to make the improvements done by the contractor.
XV. FINANCING; SUBORDINATION
15.1 Subordination. This Lease is and shall continue to be subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest now existing or hereafter placed on Landlord’s interest in the Property by a mortgage lender (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, including any refinancing thereof, a “Mortgage”); provided, however, such subordination is subject to the condition upon Landlord delivering an SNDA to Tenant. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant concurrently with the execution of the Lease by Landlord and Tenant, a Subordination, Non Disturbance, and Attornment Agreements (“SNDA”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “I” together with modifications reasonably requested by Landlord’s lenders (the “Lenders”). Tenant’s obligation to subordinate its interest in the Lease to future Lenders shall be conditioned upon receiving a similar SNDA. If requested by a holder of the Mortgage, Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time to execute and deliver an SNDA. If elected by the holder of a Mortgage, this Lease shall be superior to such Mortgage, in which case Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument confirming the same. Tenant shall not subordinate its interests hereunder or in the Leased Premises to any lien or encumbrance other than the Mortgages described in and specified pursuant to this Section 15.1 without the prior written consent of Landlord and of the lender interested under each Mortgage then affecting the Leased Premises. Any such unauthorized subordination by Tenant shall be void and of no force or effect whatsoever.
15.2 Amendment. Tenant recognizes that Landlord’s ability from time to time to obtain construction, acquisition, standing, and/or permanent mortgage loan financing for the Building and/or the Leased Premises may in part be dependent upon the acceptability of the terms of this Lease to the lender concerned. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that from time to time it shall, if so requested by Landlord and if doing so will not substantially or adversely affect Tenant’s rights or economic interests hereunder, join with Landlord in amending this Lease so as to meet the commercially reasonable needs or requirements of any lender which is considering making or which has made a loan secured by a Mortgage affecting the Leased Premises.
15.3 Attornment. Any sale, assignment, or transfer of Landlord’s interest under this Lease or in the Leased Premises including any such disposition resulting from Landlord’s default under a Mortgage, shall be subject to this Lease. Upon assumption by
the transferee of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease from and after the date of such assumption, Tenant shall attorn to Landlord’s successor and assigns and shall recognize such successor or assigns as Landlord under this Lease, regardless of any rule of law to the contrary or absence of privity of contract .
15.4 Financial Information. As a condition to Landlord’s acceptance of this Lease, Tenant shall provide Tenant’s audited financial statements for the Tenant’s most recently completed fiscal year and a year to date balance sheet and income statement, to verify the financial condition of Tenant, its assignees or subtenants from time to time during the term of the Lease; provided, however, so long as Tenant is a publically traded company, Tenant’s obligations under this Section 15.4 shall be deemed satisfied so long as Tenant has made such statement available as required by applicable laws. Tenant shall not be required to provide such information more than two (2) times during any twelve (12) month period. Tenant hereby represents and warrants that such information, taken as a whole, will not contain any untrue statement of material fact, nor will any audited financial statements provided by Tenant omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. If required by Landlord’s lender or a potential purchaser, Tenant shall cause such financial statements to be certified by Tenant’s chief financial officer, solely in his or her capacity as chief financial officer, that such financial statements do not contain any untrue statement of material fact, nor do any audited financial statements provided by Tenant omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.
XVI. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES
16.1 Default by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, Landlord shall have the remedies set forth in Section 16.2:
(a) Tenant fails to pay any installment of Basic Annual Rent or Additional Rent or any other sum due hereunder within five (5) days after such Rent is due after written notice from Landlord of such failure; provided, however, Landlord shall not be required to provide a written notice of such monetary default more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period.
(b) Tenant fails to perform any other term, condition, or covenant to be performed by it pursuant to this Lease within thirty (30) days after written notice that such performance is due shall have been given to Tenant by Landlord or; provided, if cure of any nonmonetary default would reasonably require more than thirty (30) days to complete, if Tenant fails to commence performance within the thirty (30) day period or, after timely commencing, fails diligently to pursue such cure to completion but in no event to exceed ninety (90) days.
(c) Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease shall become bankrupt or insolvent or file any debtor proceedings or have taken against such party in any court pursuant to
state or federal statute, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, reorganization, or appointment of a receiver or trustee; or Tenant petitions for or enters into a voluntary arrangement under applicable bankruptcy law; or suffers this Lease to be taken under a writ of execution.
16.2 Remedies. Subject to applicable Utah law, in the event of any default by Tenant hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord may at any time, without waiving or limiting any other right or remedy available to it, terminate Tenant’s rights under this Lease by written notice, reenter and take possession of the Leased Premises by any lawful means (with or without terminating this Lease), or pursue any other remedy allowed by law. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the cost of recovering possession of the Leased Premises, all costs of reletting, and all other actual and reasonable costs and damages arising out of Tenant’s default, including attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding any reentry, the liability of Tenant for the rent reserved herein shall not be extinguished for the balance of the Term, and Tenant agrees to compensate Landlord upon demand for any deficiency arising from reletting the Leased Premises at a lesser rent than applies under this Lease.
16.3 Past Due Sums. If Tenant fails to pay within five (5) days from written notice from Landlord, any Basic Annual Rent, Additional Rent, or other sum required to be paid by it hereunder, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. In addition thereto, Tenant shall pay a sum of five percent (5%) of such unpaid amounts of Basic Annual Rent, Additional Rent, or other sum to be paid by it hereunder as a service fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord’s right concerning such interest and service fee shall be limited by the maximum amount which may properly be charged by Landlord for such purposes under applicable law.
16.4 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall be in default of the performance of its obligations under this Lease if Landlord defaults in the performance or observation of any agreement, liability, or obligation imposed on it by this Lease and Landlord fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligations is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes the same to completion (a “Landlord’s Default”). Upon the occurrence of a Landlord’s Default under this Lease, Tenant, at its option, without further notice or demand, and without limiting its right to receive any late delivery payments in connection with Landlord’s delivery of the Leased Premises as specified above, may: (a) pursue the remedy of specific performance or injunction; (b) seek declaratory relief; (c) pursue an action for actual and direct damages for loss; and (d) unless such Landlord’s Default results from Landlord’s failure to perform any construction obligations hereunder, but including without limitation repair and maintenance obligations of Landlord, take
reasonable measures to cure such Landlord’s Default to the extent relating to the repair or maintenance of the Leased Premises on Landlord’s account, in which event Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any actual out-of-pocket reasonable costs or contractual liability incurred by Tenant in connection with such cure (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of a written demand, statement or invoice, including reasonable back-up documentation; provided that Tenant shall have the right to withhold from its payments of Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent any such amounts that remain unreimbursed by Landlord beyond such thirty (30) day period until all such amounts have been fully reimbursed, and any such amounts not paid to Tenant when due shall accrue interest thereafter at the Default Rate.
XVII. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE AT TERMINATION OF LEASE
17.1 Surrender of Leased Premises . At the expiration of this Lease, except for changes made by Tenant that were approved by Landlord and the initial Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises in the same condition, less reasonable wear and tear, as they were in upon delivery of possession thereto under this Lease and shall deliver all keys to Landlord. Before surrendering the Leased Premises, Tenant shall remove all of its personal property and trade fixtures and such property or the removal thereof shall in no way damage the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall be responsible for all costs, expenses and damages incurred in the removal thereof. If Tenant fails to remove its personal property and fixtures upon the expiration of this Lease, the same shall be deemed abandoned and shall become the property of Landlord.
17.2 Holding Over. Any holding over after the expiration of the term hereof or of any renewal term with the prior written consent of Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month except that Basic Annual Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to 125% of the then Basic Annual Rent plus, and in addition to the Basic Annual Rent, all other sums of money as shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease and on the terms herein specified so far as possible. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant, and agreement contained in this Lease. Nothing contained in this Section 17.2 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. If Landlord has delivered to Tenant notice of a termination of a month-to-month holdover and Tenant continues to holdover thereafter, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.
XVIII. ATTORNEYS’ FEES
In the event that at any time during the term of this Lease either Landlord or Tenant institutes any action or proceeding against the other relating to the provisions of this Lease or any default hereunder, then the unsuccessful party in such action or proceeding agrees to reimburse the successful party for the reasonable expenses of such action including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred therein by the successful party.
XIX. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
19.1 Estoppel Certificate. Each party shall, within fifteen (15) days after the other party’s request, execute and deliver to such requesting party a written declaration, in form and substance similar to Exhibit “D”, plus such additional other information as the requesting party may reasonably request. Landlord’s mortgage lenders and/or purchasers shall be entitled to rely upon such declaration.
19.2 Effect of Failure to Provide Estoppel Certificate. Tenant’s failure to furnish any estoppel certificate as required pursuant to Section 19.1 within fifteen (15) days after request therefor shall be deemed a default hereunder and moreover, it shall be conclusively presumed that: (a) this Lease is in full force and effect without modification in accordance with the terms set forth in the request; (b) that there are no unusual breaches or defaults on the part of Landlord; and (c) no more than one (1) month’s rent has been paid in advance.
XX. COMMON AREAS
20.1 Definition of Common Areas. “Common Areas” means all areas, space, equipment, and special services provided for the joint or common use and benefit of the tenants or occupants of the Building, the Improvements, and Property or portions thereof, and their employees, agents, servants, patients, customers, and other invitees (collectively referred to herein as “Occupants”) including, without limitation, parking, access roads, driveways, retaining walls, landscaped areas, serviceways, loading docks, pedestrian walks; courts, stairs, ramps, and sidewalks; common corridors, rooms and restrooms; air‑conditioning, fan, janitorial, electrical, and telephone rooms or closets; and all other areas within the Building which are not specified for exclusive use or occupancy by Landlord or any tenant (whether or not they are leased or occupied).
20.2 License to Use Common Areas. The Common Areas shall be available for the common use of all Occupants. If the amount of such areas shall be changed or diminished, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or abatement of rent nor shall revocation or diminution of such areas be deemed constructive or actual eviction, provided, however, that such changes or dimishment of the Common Areas shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease. All Common Areas shall be subject to the exclusive control and management of Landlord. Landlord shall have the right (a) to construct,
maintain, and operate lighting and other facilities on all said areas and improvements; (b) to police the same; (c) to change the area, level, location, and arrangement of parking areas and other facilities, provided, Landlord shall not make changes to the parking areas which decreases the stalls below those required under this Lease without Tenant’s prior written approval; (d) to close all or any portion of said areas or facilities to such extent as may be legally sufficient to prevent a dedication thereof or the accrual of any right to any person or the public therein; and (e) to close temporarily all or any portion of the parking areas or facilities to discourage non‑occupant parking. Landlord shall operate and maintain the Common Areas in such manner as Landlord in its reasonable discretion shall determine, shall have full right and authority to employ and discharge all personnel with respect thereto, and shall have the right, through reasonable rules, regulations, and/or restrictive covenants promulgated by it from time to time, to control the use and operation of the Common Areas in order that the same may occur in a proper and orderly fashion, provided that such rules, regulations and restrictive covenants shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease.
20.3 Parking. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.2(b), Landlord shall provide an allocation of six (6) parking spaces for each 1,000 rentable square feet of the Leased Premises leased by Tenant in the parking area immediately adjacent to the Building as approximately shown on the preliminary site plan attached Exhibit “A-1”. In the event the Leased Premises is contracted during the Term, Tenant’s allocation of parking shall be adjusted in accordance with the aforementioned ratio Tenant may utilize any stalls provided by Landlord as visitor stalls for parking of Tenant’s visitors. If requested by Tenant, food trucks serving Tenant’s occupants may be parked on the Property in areas reasonably designated by Landlord, provided, however, Tenant shall be responsible for any repairs or maintenance required as a result of such food trucks entry onto the Property, and Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its affiliates against and from any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, orders, judgments, and any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation), resulting from or incurred by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord on account of such food truck’s entry onto and use of the Property.
XXI. SIGNS, AWNINGS, AND CANOPIES
Tenant shall have the right to non-exclusive signage on the building which is in place as of the date hereof. Landlord shall not grant any other tenant crown building signage unless said tenant occupies at a minimum of 15,000 square feet of Building. Landlord shall provide lobby directory signage at no cost to Tenant. Tenant shall not place or suffer to be placed or maintained on any exterior door, wall, or window of the Leased Premises, or elsewhere in the Building, any sign, awning, marquee, decoration, lettering, attachment, or canopy, or advertising matter or other thing of any kind and will not place or maintain any decoration, lettering, or advertising matter on the glass of any window or door of the exterior of the Leased Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s
written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant further agrees to maintain such sign, awning, canopy, decoration, lettering, advertising matter, or other things, as may be approved, in good condition and repair at all times. Landlord may, at Tenant’s cost, and without liability to Tenant, enter the Leased Premises and remove any item erected in violation of this Section. Landlord may establish rules and regulations governing the size, type, and design of all signs, decorations, etc., and Tenant agrees to abide thereby, provided, however, that such rules and regulations shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease.
XXII. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
22.1 No Partnership. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, or by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent, or of partnership, or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of rent nor any other provision contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
22.2 Force Majeure. Landlord shall be excused for the period of any delay in the performance of any obligations hereunder when prevented from so doing by cause or causes beyond Landlord’s control, including, without limitation, labor disputes, civil commotion, war, governmental regulations or controls, fire or other casualty, inability to obtain any material or service, or acts of God, or the acts or omissions of Tenant or the Tenant Related Parties (“Force Majeure Delays”).
22.3 No Waiver. Failure of Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any provision or to exercise any option hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver be in writing signed by Landlord.

(a) The captions to the Section of this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed relevant in resolving questions of construction or interpretation under this Lease.
(b) Exhibits referred to in this Lease, and any addendums and schedules attached to this Lease shall be deemed to be incorporated in this Lease as though part thereof.
22.6 Recording. Tenant may not record this Lease or a memorandum thereof without the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord, at its option and at any time, may file this Lease for record with the Recorder of the County in which the Building is located.
22.7 Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid, the remainder of this Lease or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid shall not be affected thereby and each provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
22.8 Broker’s Commissions.

22.9 Tenant Defined; Use of Pronouns. The word “Tenant” shall be deemed and taken to mean each and every person or party executing this document as a Tenant herein. If there is more than one person or organization set forth on the signature line as Tenant, their liability hereunder shall be joint and several. If there is more than one Tenant, any notice required or permitted by the terms of this Lease may be given by or to any one thereof, and shall have the same force and effect as if given by or to all thereof. The use of the neuter singular pronoun to refer to Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed a proper reference even though Landlord or Tenant may be an individual, a partnership, a corporation, or a group of two or more individuals or corporations. The necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions of this Lease apply in the plural sense where there is more than one Landlord or Tenant and to corporations, associations, partnerships, or individuals, males or females, shall in all instances be assumed as though in each case fully expressed.
22.10 Provisions Binding, Etc. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein including, specifically and without limitation, Section 9, all provisions herein shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties, their legal representative, heirs, successors, and assigns. Each provision to be performed by Tenant shall be construed to be both a covenant and a condition, and if there shall be more than one Tenant, they shall all be bound, jointly and severally, by such provisions. In the event of any sale or assignment (except for purposes of security or collateral) by Landlord of the Building, the Leased Premises or this Lease, Landlord shall, from and after the Commencement Date (irrespective of when such sale or assignment occurs), be entirely relieved of all of its obligations hereunder upon assumption by the transferee of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease from and after the date of such transfer. Nothing set forth herein shall require Landlord to obtain Tenant’s consent to any assignment, transfer or other encumbrance of any of Landlord’s interest in the Property, the Leased Premises, the Improvements or the Common Areas.
22.11 Entire Agreement, Etc. This Lease and the Exhibits, Riders, and/or Addenda, if any, attached hereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties. Any guaranty attached hereto is an integral part of this Lease and constitutes consideration given to Landlord to enter in this Lease. Any prior conversations or writings are merged herein and extinguished. No subsequent amendment to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless reduced to writing and signed. Submission of this Lease for examination does not constitute an option for the Leased Premises and becomes effective as a lease only upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord to Tenant. If any provision contained in the rider or addenda is inconsistent with a provision in the body of this Lease, the provision contained in said rider or addenda shall control. It is hereby agreed that this Lease contains no restrictive covenants or exclusives in favor of Tenant. The captions and Section numbers appearing
herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience and are not intended to define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or intent of any Section or paragraph.
22.12 Governing Law. The interpretation of this Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah. Tenant hereby expressly and irrevocably agrees that Landlord may bring any action or claim to enforce the provisions of this Lease in the State of Utah, County of Salt Lake, and Tenant irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction in the State of Utah for the purposes of any such action or claim. Tenant further irrevocably consents to service of process in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the State of Utah. Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude or prevent Landlord from bringing any action or claim to enforce the provisions of this Lease in any other appropriate place or forum.
22.13 Recourse by Tenant. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in the land, Building and Improvements thereto, and subject to prior rights of any mortgagee, for the collection of any judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default or breach by Landlord with respect to any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be observed and/or performed by Landlord, and no other assets of Landlord or any of its partners, shareholders, successors, or assigns shall be subject to levy, execution, or other procedures for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies.
22.14 Rules and Regulations. Tenant and the Tenants Related Parties shall faithfully observe and comply with all of the rules and regulations set forth on the attached Exhibit “F”, and Landlord may from time to time reasonably amend, modify or make additions to or deletions from such rules and regulations, provided, such modifications shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease. Such amendments, modifications, additions and deletions shall be effective on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant. On any breach of any of such rules and regulations, Landlord may exercise any or all of the remedies provided in this Lease on a default by Tenant under this Lease and may, in addition, exercise any remedies available at law or in equity including the right to enjoin any breach of such rules and regulations. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the failure of any other tenant or person to observe any such rules and regulations.
22.15 Tenant’s Representations and Warranties. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord as follows:
(a) Tenant is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of its formation and has full power and authority to enter into this Lease, without the consent, joinder or approval of any other person or entity, including, without limitation, any mortgagee(s). This Lease has been validly executed and delivered by Tenant and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of Tenant, enforceable against Tenant in accordance with its terms.
(b) Tenant is not a party to any agreement or litigation which could adversely affect the ability of Tenant to perform its obligations under this Lease or which would constitute a default on the part of Tenant under this Lease, or otherwise materially adversely affect Landlord’s rights or entitlements under this Lease.
22.15 No Construction Against Preparer. This Lease has been prepared by Landlord and its professional advisors and reviewed by Tenant and its professional advisors. Landlord, Tenant and their separate advisors believe that this Lease is the product of their joint efforts, that it expresses their agreement, and that it should not be interpreted in favor of either Landlord or Tenant or against either Landlord or Tenant merely because of their efforts in its preparation.
22.16 Number and Gender. The terms “Landlord” and “Tenant,” wherever used herein, shall be applicable to one or more persons or entities, as the case may be, and the singular shall include the plural and the neuter shall include the masculine and feminine and, if there be more than one person or entity with respect to either party, the obligations hereof of such party shall be joint and several.
22.17 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed and delivered in counterparts for the convenience of the parties, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.
22.18 Waiver of Trial by Jury. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either against the other, upon any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, and/or any claim of injury or damage.
22.19 Merger. If both Landlord’s and Tenant’s estates in the Leased Premises have both become vested in the same owner, this Lease shall nevertheless not be terminated by application of a doctrine of merger unless agreed in writing by Landlord, Tenant and any holder of a Mortgage.
22.20 No Right to Relocate. Landlord shall have no right to relocate Tenant from the Leased Premises or otherwise within the Property during the Term of the Lease (including any extensions or expansions).

WORK LETTER
A TENANT’S CONSTRUCTION OBLIGATION: All elements of work which Tenant requires for Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises shall be provided by Tenant at Tenant’s expense. Such work shall constitute “Tenant’s Construction Obligations” respecting improvements to the Leased Premises
B. TENANT’S PLANS: Prior to performing any of Tenant’s Construction Obligations, Tenant shall prepare plans and specifications (the “Tenant’s Plans”) and shall submit the Tenant’s Plans to Landlord for written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld.) The approval by Landlord of Tenant’s plans for work to be performed on the Leased Premises, whether by Landlord or Tenant, shall in no way create any responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency or compliance with any and all laws, rules and regulations of federal, state, county and municipal agencies or authorities. Any objections by Landlord and the reason therefore shall be given to Tenant’s Plans as proposed.
C. CONSTRUCTION BY TENANT: Following commencement of Tenant’s Construction Obligations, Tenant shall promptly commence and thereafter shall diligently pursue to completion all of the matters entering into Tenant’s Construction Obligations and such matters shall be performed or accomplished in accordance with the applicable law, in a good and workmanlike manner, by contractors approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant shall timely obtain all licenses or permits required for the work performed by Tenant. Any work or change which Tenant desires to accomplish and which is not reflected by Tenant’s Plans shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld). Upon completion of Tenant’s Construction Obligations, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a complete set of “as built” plans and specifications for the items and elements entering into Tenant’s Construction Obligations.
D. ROOF PENETRATIONS: Tenant agrees that neither it nor its contractors or employees will, during the construction of the Leased Premises or at any time during the term of this Lease, make or cause to be made in the roof of the Leased Premises any penetration whatsoever without first obtaining the prior written approval from Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may require Tenant to use Landlord’s designated roofing contractor to perform or supervise any roof cuts or penetrations to which Landlord may agree or give its consent. In the event Tenant fails to observe this condition, Landlord may hire a roofing contractor of its choice to inspect any penetrations in the roofing material over the Leased Premises and to perform any needed modifications or corrections to the roof surface or its components in order to preserve the integrity of the roof structure. Landlord may bill Tenant for the expenses of any such roof inspection and/or repairs, plus a 10% overhead fee for such work. Tenant agrees to pay for said inspection and/or repairs immediately upon presentation of said invoice.
E. TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE.
(a)Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 of the Lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a Tenant Improvement Allowance in the amount equal to $12.00 per useable square foot of the Leased Premises to pay for or reimburse Tenant for the costs and expenses directly and specifically related to the planning, design, construction, and completion of the Tenant Improvements and for all other authorized expenses provided for in this Work Letter and the Lease, including, without limitation, for any Change Orders requested by Tenant and approved by Landlord (“Tenant Improvement Allowance”). From a taxation and accounting standpoint, all of the costs and expenses directly and specifically related to the Tenant Improvements up to the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance paid by Landlord shall be allocated solely to Landlord, and any such costs and expenses in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and paid by Tenant shall be allocated solely to Tenant.
(a) The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant upon Landlord’s receipt of a written request which shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) all items for which Tenant is seeking payment shall be identified in the request and certified by Tenant as being complete and installed in the Lease Premises; (ii) Tenant’s request shall include invoices reflecting the amount of the request for payment; (iii) Tenant’s reimbursement request shall include lien waivers involved with any general or subcontractors involved with the Tenant’s Construction Obligations, (iv) no default under the Lease by Tenant shall have occurred and be continuing beyond any applicable notice and cure period, and (v) Landlord shall not be obligated to reimburse Tenant for amounts in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Provided that the foregoing conditions are satisfied, within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request for payment, Landlord shall pay Tenant the portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance specified in Tenant’s request for payment.

Definition of Fair Market Value
Fair Market Value (“FMV”) shall be defined as the then fair market NNN value of the Leased Premises as of the date of commencement of the renewal term, determined in accordance with the provisions set forth below. The FMV of the Leased Premises shall mean the NNN rental that would be agreed to by a landlord and a new tenant, each of whom is willing, but neither of whom is compelled, to enter into the lease transaction. The FMV shall be determined on the basis of the assumptions that the FMV shall be projected to the commencement date of the applicable renewal term. The FMV shall not take into account any existing tenant improvements, but shall take into account the following factors:
| |
i. | Rental for comparable premises in comparable existing and/or newly constructed (as applicable) buildings (taking into consideration, but not limited to, use, location and/or floor level within the applicable building, definition of net gross area, building load factor/efficiency, quality, age, and location of the applicable buildings), or any special uses or rights afforded to the Tenant under the Lease in connection with the Leased Premises; |
| |
ii. | The rentable area of the Leased Premises being leased; |
| |
iii. | The length of the pertinent renewal term; |
| |
iv. | Tenant improvement allowance, rent credit, moving allowance, space planning, or similar inducements; |
| |
v. | The quality of credit worthiness of Tenant; and |
| |
vi. | The extent to which commissions are due or payable by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s exercising its option to renew this Lease. |
If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the FMV within 30 days after the date of Tenant’s notice of intent to renew (“Negotiation Period”), either party may elect, by written notice delivered to the other party, to determine the FMV by appraiser opinion of value as follows. The determination of FMV shall be determined by three independent MAI appraisers licensed in the State of Utah and selected one by the Tenant, one by the Landlord and the third appraiser being selected by the two appraisers selected by Landlord and Tenant. The appraisers shall have a minimum experience of 10 years in the Salt Lake City office market. The appraisers selected by Tenant and Landlord shall present his/her opinion of FMV within 30 days following the Negotiation Period. In the event the two opinions of FMV are within 5% of each other in overall value than the average value will be used to determine the final terms of the lease renewal. In the event the two opinions differ by more than 5% then the third agent shall review the opinions of value of the other original two appraisers and shall prepare a final opinion of value based on his or her assessment of the market that shall be binding on both parties. The third agent shall not be bound to pick one or the other of the opinions but may determine its opinion unrelated to the other two. The cost of the appraiser panel shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant.

(as amended and restated effective as of March 25, 2015)
HealthEquity, Inc. (the “Company”) believes that, in addition to cash compensation, the granting of options (the “Options”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) to members of its board of directors (“Directors”) represents a powerful tool to attract, retain and reward Directors who are not employees of the Company (“Non-Employee Directors”) and to align the interests of our Non-Employee Directors with those of our stockholders. This Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (this “Policy”) is intended to establish the Company’s policy regarding cash compensation and Options grants to its Non-Employee Directors. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Policy will have the meaning given such term in the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Plan”). Non-Employee Directors shall be solely responsible for any tax obligations they incur as a result of any compensation received under this Policy.
I. Cash Compensation
(a) Annual Retainer Fee. The Company will pay each Non-Employee Director (other than any Non-Employee Director who is a representative of Berkley Capital Investors, L.P. or Napier Park Global Capital) an annual fee of $25,000 for serving on the Board (the “Annual Fee”). Each Annual Fee will be paid ratably on a fiscal quarterly basis at the beginning of each quarter to each Non-Employee Director who will be serving in the relevant capacity for such fiscal quarter. For purposes of clarification, no ratable payment of an annual retainer will be paid to a Non-Employee Director who is not continuing as a Non-Employee Director following the start of the applicable Company fiscal quarter.
(b) Annual Audit Committee Chairperson Retainer Fee. The Company will pay each Non-Employee Director who serves as chairperson of the Audit Committee an additional annual fee of $40,000 for serving as the chairperson (the “Annual Audit Committee Chairperson Fee”). The Annual Audit Committee Chairperson Fee will be paid ratably on a fiscal quarterly basis at the beginning of each quarter to each such Non-Employee Director who will be serving in the relevant capacity for such fiscal quarter. For purposes of clarification, no ratable payment of an annual retainer will be paid to a Non-Employee Director who is not continuing as the chairperson of the Audit Committee, following the start of the applicable Company fiscal quarter.
(c) Annual Compensation Committee Chairperson Retainer Fee. The Company will pay each Non-Employee Director who serves as chairperson of the Compensation Committee an additional annual fee of $15,000 for serving as the chairperson (the “Annual Compensation Committee Chairperson Fee”). The Annual Compensation Committee Chairperson Fee will be paid ratably on a fiscal quarterly basis at the beginning of each quarter to each such Non-Employee Director who will be serving in the relevant capacity for such fiscal quarter. For purposes of clarification, no ratable payment of an annual retainer will be paid to a Non-Employee Director who is not continuing as the chairperson of the Compensation Committee, following the start of the applicable Company fiscal quarter.
(d) Travel Expenses. Each Non-Employee Director’s reasonable, customary and documented travel expenses to Board and committee meetings will be reimbursed by the Company.
(e) Revisions. The Board in its discretion may change and otherwise revise the terms of the cash compensation granted under this Policy (including, without limitation, the amount of cash compensation to be paid) on or after the date the Board determines to make any such change or revision.
(f) Section 409A. Payments under this Policy are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, under Treasury Regulation §§ 1.409A-1(b)(4) (“short-term deferrals”) and this Policy shall be administered, interpreted and construed accordingly.
II. Equity Compensation
Non-Employee Directors will be entitled to receive all types of Awards (except Incentive Stock Options) under the Plan, including discretionary Awards not covered under this Policy. All grants of Awards to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Sections II.(b) and (c) of this Policy will be automatic and nondiscretionary, except as otherwise provided herein, and will be made in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) No Discretion. No person will have any discretion to select which Non-Employee Directors will be granted Awards under this Policy or to determine the number of Shares to be covered by such Awards (except as provided in Sections II.(e) and (f) below and Section 10 of the Plan).
(b) Initial Award. Each person who first becomes a Non-Employee Director following the effective date of this Policy will be automatically granted an Award of Nonstatutory Stock Options for 25,000 Shares (the “Initial Award”) on or about the date on which such person first becomes a Non-Employee Director, whether through election by the stockholders of the Company or appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy; provided, however, that a Director who is an Employee of the Company (an “Inside Director”) who ceases to be an Inside Director, but who remains a Director, will not receive an Initial Award.
(c) Annual Award. Each Non-Employee Director will be automatically granted an Award of Nonstatutory Stock Options for 15,000 Shares (an “Annual Award”) on the first day of each fiscal year which occurs following the effective date of this Policy.
(d) Chairman Award. Each Non-Employee Director who serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors will be automatically granted an additional Award of Nonstatutory Stock Options for 25,000 Shares (the “Chairman Additional Award”) on the date on which such person first becomes Chairman of the Board of Directors.
(e) Terms. The terms of each equity Award granted pursuant to this Policy will be as follows:
(i) The Options subject to the Initial Award and the Chairman Additional Award will vest and become exercisable over a four (4) year period with twenty-five percent (25%) of the Options subject to the Award vesting on each of the first four (4) annual anniversaries of the date on which the recipient first becomes a Director or Chairman of the Board, as applicable; provided that the Director continues to serve as a Director through such dates. The Options subject to the Annual Award will vest and become exercisable over a one (1) year period with fifty percent (50%) of the Options subject to the Annual Award vesting on the date of the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company held during the fiscal year during which such Annual Award is granted and the remainder vesting on the last day of the fiscal year during which such Annual Award is granted; provided that the Director continues to serve as a Director through such dates.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Policy, the Initial Award, Annual Award and the Chairman Additional Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and an applicable Award Agreement.
(f) Revisions. The Board in its discretion may change and otherwise revise the terms of Awards granted under this Policy, including, without limitation, the types of Awards, the number of Shares, the exercise prices, and vesting schedules, for Awards granted on or after the date the Board determines to make any such change or revision.
(g) Adjustments. The number of Shares issuable pursuant to Initial Awards, Annual Awards and Chairman Additional Awards to be granted under Sections II.(b), (c) and (d) of this Policy shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan.
