LEASE
FRIDAR SF., REG. NO. 66.01.99-2929, domiciled at Efstasund 58, Reykjavik, as a
Lessor, and ISLENSK ERFDAGREINING EHF., REG. NO. 691295-3549, domiciled at
Lynghals 1, Reykjavik, as a Lessee, enter into the following
Lease
1. The Lessor leases to the lessee approximately 395 square meters of office
space at Hlidarsmari 19 in Kopavogur, especially marked as storey No: 02-01
in that building, including a share in the common area.
2. Tenancy begins as of such time as the lessor delivers the storey, cf.
description, see attached document Nos. 1 and 2. The tenancy shall,
however, be considered to begin no later than 2 months after the design
drawings for electrical installations and the interior of the house are on
hand and have been approved by respective parties. Tenancy is 5 years.
After that time the agreement may be terminated with at least 6 months'
notice by either party. The Lessee may sublet the premises with the consent
of the Lessor. Following the term of tenancy this lease agreement shall be
extended without a fixed term.
3. The rent is determined at ISK 950 pr. square meter, per month. The rent
will be adjusted based on the consumer price index every 3 months,
calculating as the base price index the month the lessee leases the
premises. Monthly rent is calculated from the first day of each month to
the first day of the following month and shall be paid in advance, one
month at a time. The final due date of payment shall be calculated 15 days
later. Penalty interest is calculated as of the 16th day, if rent has not
been paid by the final due date, at the posted penalty interest rate
current at any time.
Electricity and heating is not included in the rent, considering the
proposed use of the place by the lessee. The lessee shall pay all
electrical and heating costs of the property defined above, No. 02-01, on
the same conditions as above regarding payment of rent with respect to due
dates and final payment dates. The Lessee shall pay a maintenance fee every
month, as decided at each time, based on the proportion between the storey
and the entire building, i.e. 10.99%. The maintenance fee covers the
expense of operating the common area.
4. The Lessee undertakes to treat the leased property with care and
cleanliness. The Lessee shall pay full compensation for any damage that he
may cause with careless treatment of the leased property. In addition, he
shall attend to all indoor maintenance in the leased premises at his own
cost, as of the time that the Lease takes effect and the Lessor has
fulfilled his obligations in relation to the delivery of the storey, cf.
the attached documents Nos. 1 and 2. The Lessor shall attend to and pay the
cost of all ordinary outdoor maintenance and pay all public levies on the
premises.

5. In the event that the Lessee moves from the premises, he shall return it in
good order in every respect other than normal wear. When the tenancy period
has ended or on termination of the tenancy, all fixed appurtenances shall
become the property of the Lessor, whereas all unfixed facilities which the
Lessee uses in the office are his property which he may remove when the
tenancy period has ended. During the tenancy, the Lessee may make changes
to the office at his own cost and in consultation with the Lessor, whose
property such changes shall become as provided for above.
6. In the event of material default on the part of the Lessee, the Lessor may
require that the Lessee vacate the leased property.
7. This Lease shall be subject to the provisions of the Leasehold Act No.
36/1994 in so far as no agreement to the contrary has been made, as

Court of Reykjavik.
