SECOND AMENDMENT TO OFFICE BUILDING LEASE

This Rider sets forth the respective obligations of, and the procedures to be followed by, Landlord and Tenant in the design and construction of those improvements that will prepare the Second Expansion Premises described in Exhibit A of this Amendment for Tenant’s use and occupancy.
1. The Work.
The “Work” will consist of leasehold improvements described in the floor plan and specifications attached to this Amendment as Rider 2 (“Final Plan”).
A. From the Final Plan, Landlord will cause Landlord’s architects and/or engineers, to prepare any required engineering and architectural drawings and specifications (all such engineering and architectural drawings and specifications are referred to collectively as the “Preliminary Working Drawings”), and will submit the same to Tenant for Tenant’s written approval. Tenant will not unreasonably withhold approval of the Preliminary Working Drawings, and will have no right to withhold approval if the Preliminary Working Drawings are substantially consistent with the Final Plan. Failure by Tenant to deliver written objections to Landlord within five (5) days after receipt of the Preliminary Working Drawings will be deemed to be approval of same. Any disapproval by Tenant must include specific suggestions for making the same acceptable. If Tenant disapproves the Preliminary Working Drawings, Landlord will have the Preliminary Working Drawings revised to incorporate Tenant’s reasonable suggestions and objections, which suggestions and objections will be binding upon Tenant and may be relied upon by Landlord in revising the Working Drawings. Preliminary Working Drawings which are approved in the foregoing manner will become Final Working Drawings.
B. Landlord will pay all costs and fees incurred in connection with preparation of the Final Plan and Preliminary and Final Working Drawings needed to implement the Work and construction of the leasehold improvements as described in the Final Working Drawings up to a cost of $15.00 per square foot of Rentable Area in the Second Expansion Premises (which cost shall include a construction management fee of 5% of all construction costs) (“Tenant’s Allowance”). Tenant will pay all costs and fees incurred in connection with preparation of plans and working drawings or construction resulting from a change requested by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Rider and any amount in excess of $15.00 per square foot of Rentable Area in the Second Expansion Premises incurred by Landlord in connection with the design and construction of the Work (collectively, “Tenant’s Cost”). Tenant’s Cost hereunder will be deemed additional rent under the Lease.
2. Changes.
A. If Tenant desires any changes, alterations or additions to the Final Plan or the Final Working Drawings, Tenant must submit a detailed written request to Landlord (“Change Order”). If
reasonable and practicable and generally consistent with the Final Plan or Working Drawings previously approved, Landlord will comply with the Change Order, but all costs in connection therewith, including without limitation any additional plans, drawings and engineering reports or opinions or modifications of such existing items, will be paid for by Tenant. Landlord may at any time reasonably estimate Tenant’s Cost for a Change Order, in advance, and, Tenant will deposit the estimated amount with Landlord within ten (10) days after requested by Landlord. If such estimated amount exceeds the actual amount of Tenant’s Cost, Tenant will receive a refund of the difference, and if the actual amount exceeds the estimated amount, Tenant will pay the difference to Landlord within ten (10) days after requested by Landlord. If any additional plans, drawings or specifications, or modifications of such items, are required to construct a Change Order, the same will be prepared (at Tenant’s cost by Landlord’s architect) and approved in the manner described above. Under no circumstances will any Change Orders serve to abate the rentals under the Lease.
3. Substantial Completion.
A. Landlord will be deemed to have “substantially completed” the Work for the purposes thereof if Landlord has caused all of the Work to be completed substantially except for so called “punchlist items,” e.g., minor details of construction or decoration or mechanical adjustments which do not substantially interfere with Tenant’s occupancy of the Second Expansion Premises to be made by Tenant. If there is any dispute as to whether Landlord has substantially completed the Work, the good faith decision of Landlord’s architect will be final and binding on the parties.
B. If Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that the Work is substantially completed, and Tenant fails to object thereto in writing within seven (7) days thereafter specifying in reasonable detail the items of Work needed to be performed in order for substantial completion, Tenant will be deemed conclusively to have agreed that the Work is substantially completed, for purposes of commencing rental under the Lease.
C. Substantial completion will not prejudice Tenant’s rights to require full completion of any remaining items of Work. However, if Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that the Work is fully completed, and Tenant fails to object thereto in writing within fifteen (15) days thereafter specifying in reasonable detail the items of work needed to be completed and the nature of work needed to complete said items, Tenant will be deemed conclusively to have accepted the Work as fully completed (or such portions thereof as to which Tenant has not so objected).
4. Construction.
A. Landlord reserves the right to substitute comparable or better materials and items for those shown in the attached plans and specification and Working Drawings.
B. Tenant will be solely responsible for determining whether or not Tenant is a public accommodation under The Americans with Disabilities Act and Texas Architectural Barriers Act and whether or not the Final Working Drawings comply with such laws and the regulations thereunder.
5. Liability.
The parties acknowledge that Landlord is not an architect or engineer, and that the Work will be designed and performed by independent architects, engineers and contractors. Accordingly, Landlord does not guarantee or warrant that the plans or Workings Drawings will be free from errors or omissions, nor that the Work will be free from defects, and Landlord will have no liability therefor. In the event of such errors, omissions, or defects, Landlord will cooperate in any action Tenant desires to bring against such parties.
6. Incorporation Into Lease: Default.
THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS RIDER ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED BY THIS REFERENCE INTO THE LEASE FULLY AS THOUGH SET FORTH THEREIN. In the event of any express inconsistencies between the Lease and this Rider, the latter will govern and control. Any default by Tenant hereunder will constitute a default by Tenant under the Lease and Tenant will be subject to the remedies and other provisions applicable thereto under the Lease.
