NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared by Myriad Genetics, Inc. (the "Company") in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and pursuant to the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed
unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All material intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In
the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly all financial statements. The financial
statements herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1996. Operating
results for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996 may not
necessarily be indicative of the results to be expected for any other
interim period or for the full year.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to
maintaining its research and development programs, establishing a genetic
testing laboratory, and supporting collaborative research agreements. To date,
the Company has not received any revenues from the sale of products. Revenues
received by the Company primarily have been payments pursuant to collaborative
research agreements. The Company has been unprofitable since its inception and,
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company had a net loss of
$2,830,079 and as of September 30, 1996 had an accumulated deficit of
$17,771,191.
In August 1995, the Company completed a three-year collaborative research and
development agreement with Eli Lilly and Company to locate and sequence the
BRCA1 breast and ovarian cancer gene. This agreement provided the Company with
research funding and may in the future provide certain additional payments upon
the attainment of research and regulatory milestones and royalty payments based
on sales of any products resulting from the collaboration. The Company did not
recognize revenue from this agreement during the quarter ended September 30,
1996.
In April 1995, the Company commenced a five-year collaborative research and
development arrangement with Ciba-Geigy Corporation ("Ciba"). This
collaboration provides the Company with an equity investment, research funding
and potential milestone payments totalling $60,000,000. The Company is entitled
to receive royalties from sales of therapeutic products sold by Ciba. The
Company recognized $1,085,069 in revenue under this agreement for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996.
In September 1995, the Company commenced a five-year collaborative research and
development arrangement with Bayer Corporation ("Bayer"). This collaboration
provides the Company with an equity investment, research funding and potential
milestone payments of up to $71,000,000. The Company is entitled to receive
royalties from sales of therapeutic products sold by Bayer. The Company
recognized $1,170,712 in revenue under this agreement for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996.
The Company intends to enter into additional collaborative relationships to
locate and sequence genes associated with other common diseases as well as
continuing to fund internal research projects. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to enter into additional collaborative relationships on
terms acceptable to the Company. The Company expects to incur losses for at
least the next several years, primarily due to expansion of its research and
development programs, increasing staffing costs and expansion of its facilities.
Additionally, the Company expects to incur substantial sales, marketing and
other expenses in connection with launching its genetic predisposition testing
business. The Company expects that losses will fluctuate from quarter to
quarter and that such fluctuations may be substantial.
The Company devoted significant resources during the quarter to the beta testing
and validation of the Company's BRACAnalysis/TM/ genetic predisposition test for
mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 breast and ovarian cancer genes, as well as
building its sales and marketing force in preparation for the commercial launch
of the test. The Company announced the commercial launch of BRACAnalysis/TM/ on
October 30, 1996. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in
achieving market acceptance for the BRACAnalysis/TM/ test.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
Research revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 increased $1,182,881
from the same quarter of 1995. The increase was attributable to a full quarter
of both the Ciba and Bayer research collaboration agreements providing ongoing
research funding in 1996. For the first fiscal quarter in 1995, both research
collaboration agreements were in their start-up phase. Research revenue from
the research collaboration agreements is recognized as related costs are
incurred.
7
Research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
increased to $4,094,743 from $2,381,159 for the same quarter of 1995. This
increase was primarily due to an increase in third party research programs
funded by the Company, increased depreciation charges due to the purchase of
additional equipment, the hiring of additional personnel and the increased use
of laboratory supplies and reagents to meet the demands of the additional
research collaboration agreements. The Company also incurred increased
development expenses during the quarter related to the beta testing and
validation of the Company's BRACAnalysis/TM/ genetic predisposition test for
mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 breast and ovarian cancer genes. When the
BRCA1 and BRCA2 test moves from the development stage to production, the Company
expects research and development expenses to decrease as expenses related to the
test are classified as cost of sales. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to produce the test in a timely fashion or at acceptable
quality levels and prices.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30,
1996 increased $1,351,773 from the same quarter of 1995. The increase was
attributable to additional administrative, marketing and education personnel,
market research activities, education material development, facilities-related
costs and deferred compensation related to grants of stock options and warrants.
The Company expects its general and administrative expenses will continue to
increase in support of its research and development efforts and genetic
predisposition testing business.
Interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 increased to $848,494
from $275,223 for the same quarter of 1995. This increase was primarily due to
the increased funds available for investment, which funds were raised in the
Company's initial public offering in October 1995, and in connection with
entering into the Company's research and development collaborations with Ciba
and Bayer in April 1995 and September 1995, respectively. Interest expense for
the quarter ended September 30, 1996, amounting to $19,652, was due entirely to
borrowings under the Company's equipment financing facility, which are secured
by equipment and have a repayment term of 48 months from the date of funding.
The net loss increased to $2,830,079 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
from $1,602,903 for the same quarter in 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,573,201 during the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 and $1,525,535 during the same quarter of 1995. Non-trade
receivables decreased $62,079 between June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1996
primarily as a result of the write-off an uncollectable receivable. Accounts
payable and accrued expenses increased $461,839 between June 30, 1996 and
September 30, 1996 as a result of the Company's purchase during the quarter of
equipment to be installed in the Company's new genetic testing facility.
The Company's investing activities provided cash of $3,230,329 in the three
months ended September 30, 1996 and used cash of $13,099,006 in the three months
ended September 30, 1995. Investing activities in the quarter ended September
30, 1996 were comprised primarily of capital expenditures for research
equipment, office furniture, and facility improvements and reinvestment of
marketable investment securities from long-term investments to short-term cash
equivalents. During the quarter ended September 30, 1995, the Company had
shifted its investment in marketable securities from short-term cash equivalents
to long-term investments.
Financing activities used $48,228 during the quarter ended September 30, 1996.
The Company reduced the principal on its equipment financing facility by
$74,186. This decrease was offset by proceeds of $25,958 from the exercise of
stock options. Financing activities provided $9,915,930 during the quarter
ended September 30, 1995. The Company reduced the principal on its equipment
financing facility by $66,793 and received an equity investment of approximately
$10,000,000 from Bayer during that time.
The Company anticipates that its existing capital resources, including the net
proceeds of its initial public offering and interest earned thereon, will be
adequate to maintain its current and planned operations for at least the next
two years, although no assurance can be given that changes will not occur that
would consume available capital resources before such time. The Company's
future capital requirements will be substantial and will depend on many factors,
including progress of the Company's research and development programs, the
results and cost of clinical correlation testing of the Company's genetic tests,
the costs of filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims, competing
8
technological and market developments, payments received under collaborative
agreements, changes in collaborative research relationships, the costs
associated with potential commercialization of its gene discoveries, if any,
including the development of manufacturing, marketing and sales capabilities,
the cost and availability of third-party financing for capital expenditures and
administrative and legal expenses. Because of the Company's significant long-
term capital requirements, the Company intends to raise funds when conditions
are favorable, even if it does not have an immediate need for additional capital
at such time.
Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations
The Company believes that this report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-
looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on management's current
expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties which
could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the
forward-looking statements. The Company cautions investors that there can be no
assurance that actual results or business conditions will not differ materially
from those projected or suggested in such forward-looking statements as a result
of various factors, including, but not limited to, the following: intense
competition related to the discovery of disease-related genes and the
possibility that others may discover, and the Company may not be able to gain
rights with respect to, genes important to the establishment of a successful
genetic testing business, difficulties inherent in developing genetic tests once
genes have been discovered; the Company's limited experience in developing a
genetic testing laboratory; the Company's limited marketing and sales experience
and the risk that any tests which the Company develops may not be able to be
marketed at acceptable prices or receive commercial acceptance in the markets
that the Company expects to target; uncertainty as to whether there will exist
adequate reimbursement for the Company's services from government, private
healthcare insurers and third-party payors; and uncertainties as to the extent
of future government regulation of the Company's business. As a result, the
Company's future development efforts involve a high degree of risk. For further
information, refer to the more specific risks and uncertainties disclosed
throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the
Leased Premises (as hereafter defined), at the rental and subject to and upon

of Occupancy, and the Leased Premises ready for Tenant to install its
fixtures and equipment and to perform its other work as described on

remedy available to it under this Lease, including the right to terminate
this Lease and the right to charge Landlord and cause Landlord to pay any

II. TERM
2.1 Length of Term. The term of this Lease shall be for a period of
ten (10) years plus the partial calendar month, if any, occurring after
the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) if the Commencement Date
occurs other than on the first day of a calendar month.
2.2 Commencement Date; Obligation to Pay Rent. The term of this
Lease and Tenant's obligation to pay rent hereunder shall commence on the
first to occur of the following dates ("Commencement Date"):
(a) The date Tenant occupies the Premises and conducts business.
(b) The date fifteen (15) days after the Landlord, or Landlord's
supervising contractor, notified Tenant in writing that Landlord's
construction obligations respecting the Leased Premises have been
fulfilled and/or that the Leased Premises are ready for occupancy and/or
performance of Tenant's work. Such notice shall be accompanied by an
occupancy permit and a certificate from the Building Architect stating
that remaining punchlist items can be completed within fifteen (15) days
and will not materially interfere with Tenant's business. Prior to
Commencement Date, it is contemplated that Tenant shall be able to
perform its construction obligation as per Exhibit C II(H).
2.3 Construction of Leased Premises. Landlord shall provide a budget
prior to the commencement of construction of the Leased Premises (see
Exhibit "E"). Landlord shall itemize each part of the construction and
its associated estimated cost. Landlord shall pay an amount equal to
$22.00 per usable square foot (architect shall calculate usable square
foot measurement) of the cost listed (excluding cost to construct Shell
Building) and Tenant shall be obligated for the remaining costs shown on
Exhibit "E". Landlord shall not be obligated to pay for any increase in
the actual cost of construction over and above the construction costs
shown on Exhibit "E". Any special decorator items, equipment, furniture

year options commencing on the expiration date.
2
Each option must be exercised by written notice to Landlord one hundred
and eighty (180) days from the expiration of the previous term and once
exercised is irrovacable. Base rent during each renewal term shall be
mutually agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant within Sixty (60) days
after Tenant has exercised the respective renewal option.
2.5 Acknowledgment of Commencement Date. Landlord and Tenant
shall execute a written acknowledgment of the commencement Date in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit "D".
III. BASIC RENTAL PAYMENTS
3.1 Basic Annual Rent. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as basic
annual rent (the "Basic Annual Rent") at such place as Landlord may
designate, without prior demand therefore and without any deduction or set
off whatsoever, the sum of Three Hundred and Three Thousand Seven Hundred
and Fifty and no/100 Dollars ($330,426.00). Said Basic Annual Rent shall
be due and payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments to be paid in
advance on or before the first day of each calendar month during the term
of the Lease. Basic Annual Rent shall escalate at the beginning of the 6th
year using a 3% annually compounded rate or the change in the All Urban
Index whichever is less. For purposes of this Lease the term "All Urban
Index" shall mean the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers-U.S.
City Average-all Items (1967 equals 100 base) as published by the United
States Bureau of Labor Statistics or any successor agency or any other
index hereinafter employed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in lieu of
said index. The price index for the 3rd month preceding the month in which
the Lease commences shall be considered the Basic Price Index. As of the
beginning of the 6th year, the Basic Annual Rental set forth in Section
3.1 shall be adjusted by multiplying such rental by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Price Index for the 3rd month preceding the
beginning of the 6th year and the denominator of which is the Basic Price
Index. The above not withstanding, the maximum increase at the beginning
of the 6th year shall be no more than 15.9% which is 3% per year
compounded. To the extent that ground lease payments under the Ground
Lease with the University of Utah (i) begin at a rate greater than
Fourteen Thousand Dollars ($14,000.00) per acre per year, the incremental
dollar amount above $14,000.00, if any, shall also be added to Basic
Annual Rent in relation to Tenant's Proportionate Share of Basic Costs as
provided in Paragraph 4.1(d); and (ii) escalate at a rate greater that
three percent (3%) compounded annually, the incremental dollar amount
above the three percent (3%) escalation shall also be added to the Basic
Annual Rent in relation to Tenant's Proportionate Share of Basic Costs as
provided in Paragraph 4.1(d).
In no event shall Basic Annual Rent be reduced. In the event the
Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar
month, then rent shall be paid on the Commencement Date for the initial
fractional calendar month prorated on a per-diem basis (based upon a
thirty (30) day month).
3.2 Additional Monetary Obligations. Tenant shall also pay as
rental (in addition to the Basic Annual Rent) all other sums of money as
shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease.
Landlord shall have the same remedies in the case of a default in the
payment of said other sums of money as are available to Landlord in the
case of a default in the payment of one or more installments of Basic
Annual Rent.
3
IV. ADDITIONAL RENT
4.1 Basic Annual Rent. It is the intent of both parties that the
Basic Annual Rent herein specified shall be absolutely net to the Landlord
throughout the term of this Lease, and that all costs, expenses and
obligations relating to Tenant's prorata share of the Building, Property
and/or Building, Property and/or Leased Premises which may arise or become
due during the term shall be paid by Tenant in the manner hereafter
provided.
For purposes of this Part IV and the Lease in general, the following

Tenant after the expiration of the term of this Lease.
(c) If the annual statement of costs indicates that the Estimated
Costs paid by Tenant pursuant to subsection (b) above for any year exceeded
Tenant's actual Direct Costs and Basic Costs for the same year, Landlord,
at its election, shall either (i) promptly pay the amount of such excess to
Tenant, or (ii) apply such excess against the next installment of Basic
Annual Rental or Additional Rent due hereunder.
4.4 Resolution of Disagreement. Every statement given by Landlord
pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless

prohibition against assigning or subletting shall include any assignment or

apply in the case of a registered offering of shares by Tenant or the
public trading of registered shares subsequent to an initial offering.
9.2 Consent Required.
(a) Any assignment or subletting without Landlord's consent shall be
void, and shall constitute a default hereunder which, at the option of
Landlord, shall result in the termination of this Lease or exercise of
Landlord's other remedies hereunder. Consent to any assignment or
subletting shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for consent to
any subsequent assignment or subletting, and the terms of such consent
shall be binding upon any person holding by, under, or through Tenant.
(b) Landlord shall have no obligation to consent to the proposed
sublease or assignment if the proposed sublessee or assignee or its
business is or may be subject to compliance with additional requirements of
the law, including any related rules or regulations, commonly known as the
"Americans with Disabilities Act of l990" or similar state or local laws
relating to persons with disabilities beyond those requirements which are
applicable to the tenant desiring to so sublease or assign".
9.3 Landlord's Right in Event of Assignment. If this Lease is
assigned or if the Leased Premises or any portion thereof are sublet or
occupied by any person other than the Tenant, Landlord may collect rent and
other charges from such assignee or other party, and apply the amount
collected to the rent and other charges reserved hereunder, but such
collection shall not constitute consent or waiver of the necessity of
consent to such assignment, subleasing, or other transfer, nor shall such
collection constitute the recognition of such assignee, sublessee, or other
party as the Tenant hereunder or a release of Tenant from the further
performance of all of the covenants and obligations, including obligation
to pay rent, of Tenant herein contained. In the event that Landlord shall
consent to a sublease or assignment hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
reasonable fees, not to exceed $100.00, incurred in connection with
processing of documents necessary to the giving of such consent. In the

termination of this Lease shall cease as of the day following Landlord's giving
notice of cancellation. In the event Landlord elects to repair any damage, any
abatement of rent shall end five (5) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant

there shall be no abatement of rent. Unless this Lease is terminated by
Landlord, Tenant shall repair and refixture the interior of the Leased Premises
to the extent of the Tenant Finish in a manner and in at least a condition equal

not so taken unsuitable for the business of Tenant, then this Lease shall
cease and terminate as aforesaid. If such partial taking is not extensive
enough to render the Leased Premises unsuitable for the business of Tenant,
then this Lease shall continue in effect except that the Basic Annual Rent
and Additional Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the
portion of the Leased Premises (including basement, if any) taken bears to
the total area initially demised and Landlord shall, upon receipt of the
award in condemnation, make all necessary repairs or alterations to the
Building in which the Leased Premises are located, provided that Landlord
shall not be required to expend for such work an amount in excess of the
amount received by Landlord as damages for the part of the Leased Premises

reduce Landlord's award, to claim from the condemnor, but not from the
Landlord, such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own
right for damages to Tenant's business and fixtures.

right or remedy available to it, give Landlord written notice of the
claimed breach, default, or noncompliance. If prior to its giving such
notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of Notice of Assignment
of Rents and Leases, or otherwise) of the address of a lender which has
furnished any of the financing referred to in Part XV hereof, concurrently
with giving the aforesaid notice to Landlord, Tenant shall, by registered
mail, transmit a copy thereof to such lender. For the fifteen (15) days
following the giving of the notice(s) required by the foregoing portion of
this section (or such longer period of time as may be reasonably required
to cure a matter which, due to its nature, cannot reasonably be rectified
within fifteen (15) days), Landlord shall have the right to cure the
breach, default, or noncompliance involved. If Landlord has failed to cure
a default within said period, any such lender shall have an additional
fifteen (15) days within which to cure the same or, if such default cannot
be cured within that period, such additional time as may be necessary if
within such fifteen (15) day period said lender has commenced and is
diligently pursuing the actions or remedies necessary to cure the breach
default, or noncompliance involved (including, but not limited to,
commencement and prosecution of proceedings to foreclose or otherwise
exercise its rights under its mortgage or other security instrument, if
necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be
terminated by Tenant so long as such actions or remedies are being
diligently pursued by said lender.
14.2 Mechanic's Lien. Should any mechanic's or other lien be filed
against the Leased Premises or any part thereof by reason of Tenant's acts
or omissions or because of a
15
claim against Tenant, Tenant shall cause the effect of the same to be
cancelled and discharged or bonded over or otherwise within ten (10) days
after written notice by Landlord.
XV. FINANCING; SUBORDINATION
15.1 Subordination. Tenant acknowledges that it might be
necessary for Landlord or its successors or assigns to secure mortgage
loan financing or refinancing affecting the Leased Premises. Tenant also
acknowledges that the lender interested in any given loan may desire that
Tenant's interest under this Lease be either superior or subordinate to
the mortgage then held or to be taken by said Lender. Accordingly, Tenant
agrees that at the request of Landlord at any time and from time to time
Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument, in form
reasonably acceptable to Landlord, whereby Tenant subordinates its
interest under this Lease and in the Leased Premises to such of the
following encumbrances as may be specified by Landlord: Any mortgage or
trust deed and customary related instruments are herein collectively
referred to merely as a "Mortgage" and securing a loan obtained by
Landlord or its successors or assigns for the purpose of enabling
acquisition of the Building and/or construction of additional
improvements to provide permanent financing for the Building, or for the
purpose of refinancing any such construction, acquisition, standing or
permanent loan. Provided, however, that any such instrument or
subordination executed by Tenant shall provide that so long as Tenant
continues to perform all of its obligations under this Lease its tenancy
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding Landlord's default
in connection with the Mortgage concerned or any resulting foreclosure or
sale or transfer in lieu of such proceedings. Tenant shall not
subordinate its interests hereunder or in the Leased Premises to any lien
or encumbrance other than the Mortgages described in and specified
pursuant to this Section 15.1 without the prior written consent of
Landlord and of the lender interested under each mortgage then affecting
the Leased Premises. Any such unauthorized subordination by Tenant shall
be void and of no force or effect whatsoever.
15.2 Attornment. Any sale, assignment, or transfer of Landlord's
interest under this Lease or in the Leased Premises including any such
disposition resulting from Landlord's default under a mortgage, shall be
subject to this Lease and also Tenant shall attorn to Landlord's
successor and assigns and shall recognize such successor or assigns as
Landlord under this Lease, regardless of any rule of law to the contrary
or absence of privity of contract.
15.3 Financial Information. As a condition to Landlord's
acceptance of this Lease, Tenant shall provide financial information
sufficient to verify to Landlord the financial condition of Tenant.
Tenant hereby represents and warrants that none of such information
contains or will contain any untrue statement of material fact, nor will
such information omit any material fact necessary to make the statements
contained therein misleading or unreliable. Any financial information
provided by Tenant shall beheld in confidence and distributed only to
Landlord's investors or lenders for the Leased Premises.
XVI. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES OF LANDLORD
16
16.1 Default by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of any of the
following events, Landlord shall have the remedies set forth in Section
16.2:
(a) Tenant fails to pay any installment of Basic Annual Rent or
Estimated Costs or any other sum due hereunder within ten (10) days
after Tenant receives written notice of rent due.
(b) Tenant fails to perform any other term, condition, or
covenant to be performed by it pursuant to this Lease within ten (10)
days after written notice of such default shall have been given to
Tenant by Landlord or, if cure would reasonably require more than ten
(10) days to complete, if Tenant fails to commence performance within
the ten (10) day period or fails diligently to pursue such cure to
completion.
(c) Tenant shall become bankrupt or insolvent or file any debtor
proceedings or have taken against such party in any court pursuant to
state or federal statute, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency,
reorganization, or appointment of a receiver or trustee; or Tenant
petitions for or enters into an arrangement; or suffers this Lease to
be taken under a writ of execution.
16.2 Remedies. In the event of any default by Tenant hereunder,
Landlord may at any time, without waiving or limiting any other right
or remedy available to it, terminate Tenant's rights under this Lease
by written notice, reenter and take possession of the Premises by any
lawful means (with or without terminating this Lease), or pursue any
other remedy allowed by law. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the cost
of recovering possession of the Premises, all costs of reletting, and
arising out of Tenant's default, including attorneys' fees.
Notwithstanding any reentry, the liability of Tenant for the rent
reserved herein shall not be extinguished for the balance of the Term,
and Tenant agrees to compensate Landlord upon demand for any deficiency
arising from reletting the Premises at a lesser rent than applies under
this Lease.
16.3 Past Due Sums; Penalty. If Tenant fails to pay, when the
same is due and payable, any Basic Annual Rent, Estimated Costs and
electrical charges within ten (10) days after the same is due and
payable, or other sum required to be paid by it hereunder, such unpaid
amounts shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of
payment at a fluctuating rate equal to two percent (2%) per annum above
the prime rate of interest charged by First Security Bank of Utah, Salt
Lake City, Utah. In addition thereto, Tenant shall pay a sum of two
percent (2%) of such unpaid amounts as a service fee. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, Landlord's right concerning such interest and
service fee shall be limited by the maximum amount which may properly
be charged by Landlord for such purposes under applicable law.
XVII. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE AT TERMINATION OF LEASE
17.1 Surrender of Premises. At the expiration of this Lease,
except for changes made by Tenant that were approved by Landlord,
Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises in the same condition, less
reasonable wear and tear, as they were in upon delivery of possession
17
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 shall be construed to be a tenancy from
month to month at such rates as Landlord may designate and on the terms
herein specified so far as possible. Landlord may not in any event raise
the rent above 110% of the last month's rent.
XVIII. ATTORNEYS' FEES
In the event that at any time during the term of this Lease either
Landlord or the Tenant institutes any action or proceeding against the other
relating to the provisions of this Lease or any default hereunder, then the
unsuccessful party in such action or proceeding agrees to reimburse the
successful party for the reasonable expenses of such action including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred therein by the successful party.
XIX. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
19.1 Landlord's Right to Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall, within
fifteen (15) days after Landlord's request, execute and deliver to
Landlord a written declaration, in form and substance similar to Exhibit
"D", in recordable form: (1) ratifying this Lease; (2) expressing the
Commencement Date and termination date hereof; (3) certifying that this
Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned, modified,
supplemented or amended (except by such writing as shall be stated); (4)

Landlord have been satisfied; (5) that there are no defenses or offsets
against the enforcement of this Lease by the Landlord, or stating those
claimed by Tenant; (6) the amount of advance rental, if any, (or none if
such is the case) paid by Tenant; (7) the date to which rental has been
paid; (8) the amount of security deposited with Landlord; and (9) such
other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord's mortgage
lenders and/or purchasers shall be entitled to rely upon such
declaration.
19.2 Effect of Failure to Provide Estoppel Certificate. Tenant's
failure to furnish any Estoppel Certificate within fifteen (15) days
after request 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 the Landlord; and (c) no more than one (1) month's rent has been
paid in advance.
XX. PARKING
18
Automobiles of Tenant and all visitors associated with Tenant shall be
parked only within parking areas designated by Landlord for parking. Landlord
or its agents shall, without any liability to Tenant or its occupants, have the
right to cause to be removed any automobile that may be wrongfully parked in a
prohibited or reserved parking area, and Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, demands,
damages and liabilities asserted or arising with respect to or in connection
with any such removal of an automobile except due to Landlord's negligence.
Tenant shall from time to time, upon request of Landlord, supply Landlord with a
list of license plate numbers of all automobiles owned by Tenant or its day-to-
day occupant.
XXI. SIGNS, AWNINGS, AND CANOPIES
Tenant shall not place or suffer to be placed or maintained on any exterior
door, wall, or window of the Leased Premises, or elsewhere in the Building, any
sign, awning, marquee, decoration, lettering, attachment, or canopy, or
advertising matter or other thing of any kind, and will not place or maintain
any decoration, lettering, or advertising matter on the glass of any window or
door of the Leased Premises without obtaining the proper authorization from
Salt Lake County prior to installing. Tenant will otherwise be free to
install signage of its choice.
XXII.MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
22.1 No Partnership. Landlord does not by this Lease, in any way or
for any purpose, become a partner or joint venturer of Tenant in the
conduct of its business or otherwise.
22.2 Force Majeure. Landlord shall be excused for the period of any
delay in the performance of any obligations hereunder when prevented from
so doing by cause or causes beyond Landlord's control, including labor
disputes, civil commotion, war, governmental regulations or controls, fire
or other casualty, inability to obtain any material or service, or acts of
God.
22.3 No Waiver. Failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the
strict performance of any provision or to exercise any option hereunder
shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach by Landlord or Tenant. No
provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived unless such
waiver be in writing signed by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be.
22.4 Notice. Any notice, demand, request, or other instrument which
may be or is required to be given under this Lease shall be (i) given by
facsimile, (ii) delivered in person or (iii) sent by United States
certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and shall be addressed (a) if
to Landlord, at the place specified for payment of rent, and (b) if to
Tenant, either at the Leased Premises or at any other current address for
Tenant which is known to Landlord. Either party may designate such other
address as shall be given by written notice or by facsimile transmission.

Commencement Date (irrespective of when such sale or assignment occurs), be
entirely relieved of all of its obligations hereunder.
22.11 Entire Agreement, Etc. This Lease and the Exhibits, Riders,
and/or Addenda, if any, attached hereto, constitute the entire agreement between

of Utah. Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude or prevent the parties
hereto from bringing any action or claim to enforce the provisions of this Lease

This Rider is Incorporated into the Lease Agreement and Made a Part Thereof
A. Right to Lease Additional Space
-------------------------------
1. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to lease the approximate 3,610
square feet remaining on Floor One of the building on or before six
months after Lease execution on the same terms and conditions as
contained in the Lease including additional parking at a rate of
3.5/1000. Tenant shall notify Landlord of its intent to exercise this
right by written notice. Landlord shall amend the Lease to reflect the
addition of such space to the Lease Premises together with any other
revisions necessary because of such additional space being added to the
original lease premises. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord before the
three month period has elapsed, then Landlord may be free to lease the
space to a third party.
2. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to lease the Third Floor of the
building containing approximately 14,043 rentable square feet on or
before six months after Lease execution on the same terms and
conditions excepting rent which shall be at $15.00 NNN per rentable
square foot annually. Tenant shall notify Landlord of its intent to
exercise this right by written notice. Landlord shall amend the Lease
to reflect the addition of such space to the Leased Premises together
with any other revisions necessary because of such additional space
being added to the original lease premises. If Tenant fails to notify
Landlord before the six month period has elapsed, then Landlord may be
free to lease the space to a third party.
B. Ongoing Right of First Refusal
------------------------------
If, prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, any space
in the building becomes vacant and available for lease during this Lease Term,
Landlord shall notify Tenant of its availability in writing and Tenant shall
have seven (7) business days from the receipt date of Landlord's notice to
Tenant to advise Landlord in writing that Tenant accepts such space offered, in
its present condition, and agrees that it shall become a part of the Leased
Premises. The Base Rent for the space offered, and the approximate dates
possession is to be delivered shall be included in Landlord's notice to Tenant.
Tenant's obligation to commence payment of Base Rent shall occur on the earlier
of the date possession is delivered to Tenant by Landlord or Tenant occupies all
or a portion of such space and shall continue until the expiration or sooner
termination of the Lease. Any additional rental obligation of Tenant contained
in the Lease and based upon the relationship of area of the Premises to the
rentable area of the Building pursuant to Section 4.1(d) shall be adjusted to
reflect the increase in the area of the Premises. Prior to delivery of
possession Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease reflecting the
addition to the Premises, the additional Base Rental, the change in ratio of the
Leased Premises to the Building area and any other revisions necessary because
of such additional space being added to the original Premises. All other terms
and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the additional Premises.
R-1
C. New Building
------------
1. If Tenant exercises the option set forth in this paragraph, Landlord
hereby agrees to construct an additional building with approximately
43,726 gross rentable square feet and related improvements upon the
additional property which is also the subject of the Ground Lease
between Landlord and the University of Utah (the "Additional Property")
which is the subject of the Ground Lease not occupied by the Building
and related improvements (the "New Building"). Such construction shall
commence after Tenant has exercised such option not earlier than two
(2) years following the date of this Agreement (the "Option Term"),
except as otherwise provided in paragraph 2 hereof. Landlord hereby
grants Tenant an option and right of first refusal to lease, at
Tenant's discretion, not less than 50% but up to 100% of the rentable
space in the New Building (the "Option Space") upon the terms set forth
in this paragraph 1. Within 18 months following the date of this
Agreement, Landlord shall provide Tenant a reasonably detailed written
summary of the proposed size, configuration and placement of the New
Building. Tenant shall have two (2) years from the date of this
Agreement to notify Landlord in writing (the "Option Notice") of its
intent to exercise its option to lease a portion of the Option Space
(the "New Space") specifying the percentage or equivalent square
footage of the Option Space which Tenant wishes to occupy. Upon the
giving of the Option Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly enter
into good faith negotiations to complete a mutually acceptable lease
agreement for the New Space (the "New Lease"). The New Lease shall be
substantially identical in form to this Agreement as of the date of the
Option Notice and shall further provide that Tenant's annual lease rate
per square foot for the New Space shall be equal to 13% of the actual
Total Project Cost (as defined in Section E 3(b) of this Rider) to
build and develop the New Building, multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the gross rentable square footage of the New
Space, and the denominator of which is the total gross rentable square
footage of the New Building. Pursuant to the New Lease Tenant shall
have a right of first refusal to lease all additional portions of the
New Building not included within the New Space as the same become
available, and according to terms substantially identical to the terms
of the New Lease.
2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to extend the
Option Term for one year provided that Tenant agrees to pay that
portion of the monthly ground lease due pursuant to that certain Ground
Lease Agreement between Landlord and the University of Utah which is
attributable to that portion of the Additional Property where the New
Building will be constructed.
D. Tenant's Right of First Refusal to Purchase Building
----------------------------------------------------
R-2
Landlord grants to Tenant the right of first refusal exercisable after the
Commencement Date during the term of the Lease to purchase the Building (the
"Right of First Refusal"). If at any time after the Commencement Date during
the term of this Lease Landlord shall desire to accept an offer from a third
person to purchase the Building, it shall provide written notice of such intent
to Tenant together with a copy of the offer. Tenant shall have twenty (20) days
to elect to purchase the Building strictly upon the terms and conditions,
including price, as set forth in the offer. If Tenant does not timely exercise
the Right of First Refusal, this Right of First Refusal shall expire and
Landlord may thereafter sell the Building upon terms and conditions, including
price, which are not more favorable to the buyer that is set forth in the offer.
This Right of First Refusal shall not apply to a foreclosure sale, trustee's
sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure by or to a mortgage lender in respect of the
Building.
E. Tenant's Option to Purchase Building
------------------------------------
1. Commencing as of the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the
term of the Lease, Tenant shall have the right and option to purchase
all of Landlord's right, title and interest in the Building upon the
terms and conditions set forth in this portion of the Rider (the
"Purchase Option"). To exercise this Purchase Option, tenant shall give
written notice of exercise to Landlord in the manner provided in the
Lease. Tenant may exercise the Purchase Option only if no default, or
circumstance which with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time
would constitute a default, is then existing.
2. The Purchase Price which Tenant shall pay to Landlord for its entire
right, title and interest in the Building (the "Purchase Price") shall
be the sum of the following:
(a) The amount of any prepayment fee, premium or similar charge
incurred by Landlord in discharging any lien or encumbrance which
secures any monetary obligation on the Building.
(b) The greater of:
(i) the Fair Market Value (as defined below); and
(ii) one hundred and six percent (106%) of the Total Project Cost
(as defined below).
3. For purposes of this Purchase Option, the following terms shall have
the meanings set forth:
(a) "Fair Market Value" means the value of the Building as agreed upon
in writing by Landlord and Tenant or, if the Landlord and Tenant
cannot agree upon such value within thirty (30) days after the
Tenant exercises the
R-3
Purchase Option, then either Landlord or Tenant may nominate three
(3) qualified, independent appraisers to appraise the Building,
each of whom shall:
(i) be a member in good standing of the Utah Chapter of the
Appraisal Institute;
(ii) be state certified under the Utah Real Estate Appraiser
Registration and Certification Act; and
(iii) shall have not less than five (5) years of experience
valuing office buildings in Salt Lake County, Utah.
The other party shall then select one (1) of the nominated
appraisers to perform an appraisal to determine the Fair Market
Value of the Building. The costs and fees of the appraiser shall be
paid in equal shares by Landlord and Tenant. In determining the
Fair Market Value it shall be assumed that all liens and
encumbrances securing obligations to pay loans or other fixed or
determinable sums have been discharged.
(b) "Total Project Cost" means any and all "hard" and "soft" direct
costs and expenditures incurred by Landlord at any time in
connection with the acquisition, design or construction of the
Building, including, without limitation:
(i) all payments or obligations incurred to general and other
contractors;
(ii) all architectural, engineering and other professional fees
incurred;
(iii) all permit and license fees and other charges of
governmental authorities incurred;
(iv) all cost and expense of insurance incurred prior to the
Commencement Date;
(v) all cost incurred prior to the Commencement Date in
connection with or arising from the ground lease including,
without limitation, legal fees and survey costs;
(vi) all legal and accounting fees incurred which are
attributable to the development and construction of the
Building;
R-4
(vii) all cost incurred in connection with or arising from or in
connection with construction financing including, without
limitation, legal fees and survey costs; and
(viii) all real estate taxes and assessments (or equivalent
privilege tax), utility charges and similar costs and
expenses in respect of the Building incurred prior to the
Commencement Date.
4. The closing, pursuant to the Purchase Option, shall occur thirty (30)
days after the Purchase Price is determined. At the closing:
(a) Tenant shall pay the Purchase Price in cash.
(b) Landlord shall convey title to the Building to Tenant by special
warranty deed and shall be obligated to provide at Landlord's cost
a standard owner's policy of title insurance.
(c) Landlord shall discharge all liens and encumbrances securing
obligations to pay loans or other fixed or determinable sums or
obligations owing to mechanics or materialmen. Tenant shall take
the Building subject to all other encumbrances and exceptions of
record.
(d) Landlord shall represent and warrant to the best of its knowledge
as to customary matters involving the condition of the Building.
(e) Each of the parties shall bear its costs and attorneys' fees in
connection with the exercise and closing under the Purchase Option;
provided, Landlord shall pay the premium on the policy of title
insurance delivered to Tenant, and Landlord and Tenant shall each
pay one-half ( 1/2) of the fees of the escrow agent.
5. If the Tenant exercises the Purchase Option but timely fails to close
for any reason other than the fault of Landlord, the Purchase Option
shall thereafter expire and shall no longer be enforceable.
6. Landlord and Tenant shall jointly record a notice of this Purchase
Option and of the Right of First Refusal.
R-5
