LEASE

THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (this “Lease”) is entered into as of April 18, 2008, between PROMINENT NORTHPOINT, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“Landlord”), and Borland Software Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).

         
 
  1. The definitions and basic provisions set forth in the Basic Lease
SECTION 1.
  Information (the “Basic Lease Information”) executed by Landlord and Tenant
DEFINITIONS AND
  contemporaneously herewith are incorporated herein by reference for all
BASIC PROVISIONS
  purposes.
SECTION 2.
  2. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant
LEASE GRANT
  leases from Landlord, the Premises.
SECTION 3. TERM
  3. (a) Term Defined. The Term of this Lease begins on the Commencement Date
 
  and ends on the date shown in the Basic Lease Information. If the
 
  Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, then the Term
 
  shall be extended by the time between the Commencement Date and the first day
 
  of the next month. Either at Landlord’s request prior to Tenant’s taking
 
  possession of the Premises, or no later than ten (10) days after receipt of
 
  request therefore following the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall
 
  execute a Commencement Date Memorandum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
 
    F.  
 
  (b) Condition of the Premises. Prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord will
 
  construct the tenant improvements in accordance with the terms of Exhibit
 
  “D”, Tenant Finish-Work, attached hereto. By occupying the Premises, Tenant
 
  shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises in their AS-IS condition as of
 
  the date of such occupancy, subject to the performance of punch-list items
 
  that remain to be performed by Landlord, if any. Tenant shall execute and
 
  deliver to Landlord, either before the end of any Landlord and Tenant
 
  inspection of the Premises on the Commencement Date, or if not done at that
 
  time within ten (10) days after Landlord has requested same, a letter on
 
  Landlord’s standard form confirming (1) the Commencement Date, (2) that
 
  Tenant has accepted the Premises, and (3) that Landlord has performed all of
 
  its obligations with respect to the Premises (except for punch-list items
 
  specified in such letter).
SECTION 4. RENT
  4. (a) Payment. Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord the Base Rent and all
 
  additional sums to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, including
 
  Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Basic Costs as set forth in subsection (c)
 
  below, without notice or demand and without deduction or set off, at
 
  Landlord’s Address (or such other address as Landlord may from time to time
 
  designate in writing to Tenant). Base Rent, adjusted as herein provided,
 
  shall be payable monthly in advance. The first monthly installment of Base
 
  Rent shall be payable contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease;
 
  thereafter, monthly installments of Base Rent shall be due on the first day
 
  of the second full calendar month of the Term and continuing on the first day
 
  of each succeeding calendar month during the Term. Base Rent for any
 
  fractional month at the beginning of the Term shall be prorated based on
 
  1/365 of the current annual Base Rent for each day of the partial month this
 
  Lease is in effect, and shall be due on the Commencement Date.
 
  (b) Increase to Base Rent. The monthly Base Rent shall increase once at the
 
  end of each Lease Year as shown in the section entitled “Base Rent” in the
 
  Basic Lease Information. A Lease Year means a period of twelve (12)
 
  consecutive calendar months; provided, however, that the first Lease Year
 
  shall commence on the Commencement Date and expire on the last day of the
 
  twelfth (12th) full calendar month following the Commencement Date.
 
  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant’s
 
  Proportionate Share shall not exceed $10.25 per RSF for the first twelve (12)
 
  months of the Term.
 
  Tenant shall not be responsible for increases in operating in excess of five
 
  percent (5%) per year on a cumulative, compounding basis, exclusive of those
 
  expenses categorized as not within the control of the Landlord
 
  (“Non-Controllable Expenses”). For purposes of this provision,
 
  Non-Controllable Expenses shall be defined as taxes, utilities, insurance,
 
  and expenses that increase as a result of minimum wage rate increases. In
 
  addition, management fees shall be capped not to exceed four percent (4%) of
 
  the annual rental income received. In Landlord’s commercially reasonable
 
  discretion, Landlord agrees to protest any substantial tax increases. For
 
  purposes herein, a substantial tax increase shall mean an increase of five
 
  percent (5%) or more of the ad valorem taxes relating to the property and the
 
  improvements on which the Premises is located. The foregoing paragraph is
 
  subject to the limitations set forth on Exhibit C.
 
  Landlord shall keep books and records which shall, for the purpose of
 
  verifying the Common Areas Expenses, be subject to examination by Tenant and
 
  Tenant’s accountants at reasonable times during business hours and in a
 
  manner which does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Landlord's
 
  business. Any such examination for any calendar year shall be conducted
 
  within three (3) months following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of the
 
  statement of actual Basic Costs, and shall be limited to the calendar year
 
  for which such statement of actual Basic Costs was furnished. The examination
 
  shall be conducted by an accountant licensed in the State of Texas, and the
 
  compensation paid to such accountant shall not be based on the results of the
 
  examination or a reduction in Tenant’s obligation to pay Basic Costs. If the
 
  examination of Landlord's statement of actual Basic Costs shows that actual
 
  Basic Costs have been understated, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
 
  difference between the amount actually paid by Tenant to Landlord for the
 
  prior calendar year, and the amount that the examination shows should have
 
  been paid by Tenant to Landlord. If the examination of Landlord's statement
 
  of actual Basic Costs shows that actual Basic Costs have been overstated,
 
  Landlord shall have thirty (30) days to conduct its own examination to
 
  confirm Tenant’s accountant’s results, or in the alternative shall pay (or in
 
  Landlord’s discretion, credit against Rent next due) to Tenant the amount
 
  which Tenant’s examination has shown to have been overpaid by Tenant. All
 
  examinations of Landlord's books and records shall be solely at Tenant's
 
  expense; provided, however, if following Landlord’s review Landlord's
 
  statement of actual Basic Costs is shown to have been overstated by five
 
  percent (5%) or more, Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for Tenant's
 
  actual expenses of such examination.
 
  (c) Basic Costs. On a monthly basis, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount
 
  equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of the product of (1) Landlord’s annual Basic
 
  Costs (as described on Exhibit C), multiplied by (2) Tenant’s Proportionate
 
  Share. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the Commencement Date and on the
 
  first day of each calendar month thereafter, an amount equal to Tenant’s
 
  Estimated Proportionate Share of Basic Costs for the ensuing month. From time
 
  to time during any calendar year, Landlord may estimate and re-estimate the
 
  Proportionate Share of Basic Costs to be due by Tenant for that calendar year
 
  and deliver a copy of the estimate or re-estimate to Tenant. Thereafter, the
 
  monthly installments of estimated Basic Costs payable by Tenant shall be
 
  appropriately adjusted in accordance with the estimations so that, by the end
 
  of the calendar year in question, Tenant shall have paid all of its
 
  Proportionate Share of Basic Costs as estimated by Landlord. It is
 
  understood that the “estimated” cost is subject to revision based on the
 
  actual operating costs of the Building and Project.
 
  (d) Annual Cost Statement. By April 1 of each calendar year, or as soon
 
  thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of
 
  Landlord’s actual Basic Costs (the “Annual Cost Statement”) for the previous
 
  year adjusted as provided in Section 4.(e). Such Annual Cost Statement shall
 
  contain the information used by Landlord to prepare its standard accounting
 
  documents required to compute Landlord’s cost, plus Landlord’s calculation in
 
  determining Tenant’s Proportionate Share. If the Annual Cost Statement
 
  reveals that Tenant paid more for Basic Costs than Tenant’s Proportionate
 
  Share of Basic Costs in the year for which such statement was prepared, then
 
  Landlord shall, at its option, reimburse or credit Tenant for such excess
 
  within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Annual Cost Statement in
 
  question; likewise, if Tenant paid less than Tenant’s Proportionate Share of
 
  Basic Costs, then Tenant shall pay Landlord such deficiency within thirty
 
  (30) days after delivery of the Annual Cost Statement in question.
 
  (e) Adjustments to Basic Costs. With respect to any calendar year or partial
 
  calendar year in which the Building is not occupied to the extent of 95% of
 
  the rentable area thereof, the Basic Costs for such period shall, for the
 
  purposes hereof, be increased to the amount which would have been incurred
 
  had the Building been occupied to the extent of 95% of the rentable area
 
  thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the actual Basic Costs
 
  for any particular period are less than the Basic Costs computed herein, then
 
  the actual Basic Costs shall be used for computing Tenant’s Basic Costs
 
  hereunder.
 
  5. In the event any Rent has not been paid within ten (10) days following
 
  the date such payment is due, Landlord may charge Tenant a late fee equal to
 
  ten percent (10%) of the delinquent payment to reimburse Landlord for its
 
  cost and inconvenience incurred as a consequence of Tenant’s delinquency;
 
  provided, however, that Tenant shall be afforded two (2) late payments of
 
  Rent in any given year during the Term, as renewed and extended, before
 
  Landlord may take such action. In addition, if any Rent has not been paid
 
  within thirty (30) days following the date such payment is due, any such
 
  delinquent Rent shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the rate
 
  of ten percent per annum. In no event, however, shall the charges permitted
SECTION 5.
  under this Section 5 or elsewhere in this Lease, to the extent the same are
DELINQUENT PAYMENT;
  considered to be interest under applicable law, exceed the maximum lawful
HANDLING CHARGES
  rate of interest.
 
  6. Contemporaneously with the full execution of this Lease and full
 
  execution of a side letter agreement wherein Tenant’s obligation to pay base
 
  rent and any additional rent under its current lease at 8303 MoPac shall be
 
  abated, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in immediately available funds, the
 
  Security Deposit, which shall be held by Landlord and as security for the
 
  performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease. The interest
 
  generated from the Security Deposit shall accrue for the benefit of Tenant,
 
  and upon the termination of this Lease without an uncured default, the
 
  Security Deposit plus interest earned thereon shall be returned to Tenant as
 
  per the provisions of this Lease. In the event Landlord asserts a default by
 
  Tenant upon termination of this Lease (other than a termination of this Lease
 
  caused by an Event of Default (herein defined) by Tenant, Landlord shall only
 
  retain such portion of the Security Deposit that is commercially reasonable
 
  to cure said default. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent
 
  or a measure or limit of Landlord’s damages upon an Event of Default (defined
 
  in Section 17). Landlord may, from time to time and without prejudice to any
 
  other remedy, use all or a part of the Security Deposit to perform any
 
  obligation which Tenant was obligated, but failed, to perform hereunder.
 
  Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to
 
  Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security
 
  Deposit to its original amount and if Tenant fails to do so within thirty
 
  (30) days of such demand, it shall constitute an Event of Default. Within a
 
  reasonable time after the Term ends, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days
 
  after Tenant has provided Landlord with written notice of Tenant’s forwarding
 
  address, Landlord shall return to Tenant the balance of the Security Deposit
 
  not applied to satisfy Tenant’s obligations with a written description and
 
  itemization of any deductions. If Landlord transfers its interest in the
 
  Premises, then Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and
SECTION 6.
  Landlord thereafter shall have no further liability for the return of the
SECURITY DEPOSIT
  Security Deposit.
 
  7. (a) Services. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant (1) water (hot and cold)
 
  at those points of supply provided for general use of tenants of the
 
  Building; (2) heated and refrigerated air conditioning as appropriate, during
 
  normal business hours, and at such temperatures and in such amounts as are
 
  reasonably considered by Landlord to be standard; (3) janitorial service to
 
  the Premises on weekdays other than holidays for Building-standard
 
  installations (Landlord reserves the right to bill Tenant separately for
 
  extra janitorial service required for non-standard installations) and such
 
  window washing as may from time to time in Landlord’s judgment be reasonably
 
  required; (4) elevator(s) for ingress and egress to the floor on which the
 
  Premises are located, in common with other tenants, provided that Landlord
 
  may reasonably limit the number of elevators to be in operation at times
 
  other than during normal business hours and on holidays; (5) replacement of
 
  Building-standard light bulbs and fluorescent tubes; and (6) electrical
 
  current during normal business hours at a power capacity of 4 watts per
 
  rentable space foot for lighting and outlets (“Normal Usage”). Landlord
 
  shall maintain the common areas of the Building in reasonably good order and
 
  condition, except for damage occasioned by Tenant, or its employees, agents
 
  or invitees. If Tenant desires any of the services specified in this Section
 
  7(a) at any time other than times herein designated, any such HVAC related
 
  services shall be supplied to Tenant on demand, and any other services as set
 
  forth above shall be provided in a commercially reasonable manner, and Tenant
 
  shall pay to Landlord the cost of such services (at the initial hourly rate
 
  of $35.00 per hour per floor) within ten (10) days after Landlord has
 
  delivered to Tenant an invoice therefore. As used herein, the term “normal
 
  business hours” shall mean from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday
 
  and from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays, except for the following
 
  holidays (or the day observed in lieu thereof by national banks): New Year’s
 
  Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and
 
  Christmas Day (collectively, the “Holidays”).
 
  (b) Excess Utility Use. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to furnish
 
  electrical current for special lighting, computers and other equipment whose
 
  electrical energy consumption exceeds Normal Usage through the then-existing
 
  feeders and risers serving the Building and the Premises (not to exceed,
 
  however, 6.5 watts per rentable square foot), and Tenant shall pay to
 
  Landlord the cost of such service within ten (10) days after Landlord has
 
  delivered to Tenant an invoice therefore. Landlord may determine the amount
 
  of such additional consumption and potential consumption by either or both:
 
  (1) a survey of standard or average tenant usage of electricity in the
 
  Building performed by a reputable consultant selected by Landlord and paid
 
  for by Tenant; or (2) a separate meter in the Premises installed, maintained,
 
  and read by Landlord, all at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall not install any
 
  electrical equipment requiring special wiring or requiring electrical current
 
  in excess of Normal Usage unless approved in advance by Landlord in its
 
  reasonable discretion, unless such installations are contained in any
 
  construction drawings previously approved by Landlord in connection with the
 
  construction of the Landlord’s Work. The use of electricity in the Premises
 
  shall not exceed the capacity of existing feeders and risers to or wiring in
 
  the Premises. Any risers or wiring required to meet Tenant’s excess
 
  electrical requirements shall, upon Tenant’s written request, be installed by
 
  Landlord, at Tenant’s cost, if, in Landlord’s sole and absolute judgment, the
 
  same are necessary and shall not cause permanent damage or injury to the
 
  Building or the Premises, cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition,
 
  entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs, or expenses, or
 
  interfere with or disturb other tenants of the Building. If Tenant uses
 
  machines or equipment (other than general office machines, personal computers
 
  and electronic data processing equipment) in the Premises which affect the
 
  temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system or otherwise
 
  overload any utility, Landlord may install supplemental air conditioning
 
  units or other supplemental equipment in the Premises, and the cost thereof,
 
  including the cost of installation, operation, use, and maintenance, shall be
 
  paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord has delivered
 
  to Tenant an invoice therefore.
 
  (c) Restoration of Services; Abatement. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts
 
  to restore any service that becomes unavailable; however, such unavailability
 
  shall not (i) render Landlord liable for any damages caused thereby, (ii) be
 
  a constructive eviction of Tenant, (iii) constitute a breach of any express
 
  or implied warranty, or, except as provided in the next sentence, or (iv)
 
  entitle Tenant to any abatement of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. However,
 
  if Tenant is prevented from making reasonable use of the Premises, including,
 
  without limitation, because the HVAC system is not working, for more than
 
  fifteen (15) consecutive days (or five (5) consecutive days if the reason for
 
  such unavailability is within the reasonable control of Landlord) because of
 
  the unavailability of any such service, Tenant shall, as its exclusive remedy
SECTION 7.
  therefore, be entitled to a reasonable abatement of Rent for each consecutive
LANDLORD’S
  day (after such 15 day or 5 day period, as applicable) that Tenant is so
OBLIGATIONS
  prevented from making reasonable use of the Premises.
 
  8. (a) Improvements; Alterations. Other than improvements to be paid for by
 
  Landlord in connection with the initial construction of the Building or in
 
  connection with the Landlord’s Work, improvements to the Premises shall be
 
  installed at the expense of Tenant only in accordance with plans and
 
  specifications which have been previously submitted to and approved in
 
  writing by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. Landlord shall, at no
 
  expense to Tenant, install and maintain building standard window coverings
 
  throughout the Premises. After the initial Tenant improvements are made, no
 
  alterations or physical additions in or to the Premises may be made without
 
  Landlord’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably
 
  withheld, conditioned or delayed and provided that Landlord’s consent shall
 
  not be necessary for any proposed Tenant improvement that does not exceed
 
  Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000) and does not affect the
 
  Building’s structure, electrical or HVAC systems. Tenant shall not paint or
 
  install lighting or decorations, signs, window or door lettering, or
 
  advertising media of any type on or about the Premises without the prior
 
  written consent of Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
 
  conditioned or delayed. All alterations, additions, or improvements (whether
 
  temporary or permanent in character, and including without limitation all
 
  air-conditioning equipment and all other equipment that is in any manner
 
  connected to the Building’s plumbing system) made in or upon the Premises,
 
  either by Landlord or Tenant, shall be Landlord’s property at the end of the
 
  Term and shall remain on the Premises without compensation to Tenant.
 
  Approval by Landlord of any of Tenant’s drawings and plans and specifications
 
  prepared in connection with any improvements in the Premises shall not
 
  constitute a representation or warranty of Landlord as to the adequacy or
 
  sufficiency of such drawings, plans and specifications, or the improvements
 
  to which they relate, for any use, purpose, or condition, but such approval
 
  shall merely be the consent of Landlord as required hereunder.
 
  Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall be
 
  responsible for the cost of all work required to comply with the retrofit
 
  requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and all rules,
 
  regulations, and guidelines promulgated thereunder, as the same may be
 
  amended from time to time, necessitated by any installations, additions, or
 
  alterations made in or to the Premises at the request of or by Tenant or by
 
  Tenant’s use of the Premises (other than retrofit work whose cost has been
 
  particularly identified as being payable by Landlord, including, without
 
  limitation, Landlord’s construction obligations in connection with the
 
  Landlord’s Work, in an instrument signed by Landlord and Tenant), regardless
 
  of whether such cost is incurred in connection with retrofit work required in
 
  the Premises (including the Work described in Exhibit D) or in other areas of
 
  the Building.
 
  (b). Repairs; Maintenance. Landlord hereby certifies to Tenant that on the
 
  Rent Commencement Date, the Premises are free from any Mold (herein defined).
 
  Tenant shall maintain the Premises in a clean, safe, operable attractive
 
  condition, and shall not permit or allow to remain any waste, Molds, or
 
  damage to any portion of the Premises. Tenant shall repair or replace,
 
  subject to Landlord’s direction and supervision, any damage to the Building
 
  caused by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, contractors, or invitees. If Tenant
 
  fails to make such repairs or replacements within thirty (30) days after the
 
  occurrence of such damage, then Landlord may, after delivery of written
 
  notice to Tenant, make the same at Tenant’s cost. In lieu of having Tenant
 
  repair any such damage outside of the Premises, Landlord may repair such
 
  damage at Tenant’s cost. The cost of any repair or replacement work performed
 
  by Landlord under this Section 8 shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within
 
  twenty (20) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefore.
 
  In no event shall Landlord have any obligation or liability to Tenant or any
 
  others for the existence of molds, fungi, bacteria, mildew, and other similar
 
  matters (collectively referred to hereafter as “Molds”), if the cause of the
 
  Molds is due to Tenant’s own conduct, acts or omissions, including the
 
  failure to perform any of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease.
 
  (c). Performance of Work. All work described in this Section 8 shall be
 
  performed only by Landlord or by contractors and subcontractors reasonably
 
  approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant shall cause all contractors and
 
  subcontractors to procure and maintain insurance coverage against risks, in
 
  such amounts, and with such companies as Landlord may reasonably require, and
 
  to procure payment and performance bonds reasonably satisfactory to Landlord
 
  covering the cost of the work. All such work shall be performed in accordance
 
  with all legal requirements and in a good and workmanlike manner so as not to
 
  damage the Premises, the primary structure or structural qualities of the
 
  Building, or plumbing, electrical lines, or other utility transmission
 
  facility. All such work which may affect the HVAC, electrical system, or
 
  plumbing must be approved by the Building’s engineer of record.
 
  (d). Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant has no authority, express or implied, to
 
  create, permit or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind or nature
 
  whatsoever upon, or in any manner to bind, the interest of Landlord or Tenant
 
  in the Premises. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that in connection with all
 
  Improvements or Alterations to the Premises, i) Tenant does not act as
 
  Landlord’s agent; ii) the Improvements or Alterations are done solely for the
 
  benefit of Tenant; and iii) the Improvements or Alterations do not “enrich”
 
  Landlord because they are specific to the needs of Tenant and therefore have
 
  little or no intrinsic value to Landlord. Other than for any and all loss,
 
  cost or expense based on or arising out of Landlord’s initial construction of
 
  the Building and in connection with Landlord’s Work on the Premises, Tenant
 
  will save and hold Landlord harmless from any and all loss, cost or expense,
 
  including without limitation attorneys' fees, based on or arising out of
 
  asserted claims or liens against the leasehold estate or against the right,
 
  title and interest of the Landlord in the Premises or under the terms of this
 
  Lease. Subsequent to Landlord’s completion of the Building and Landlord’s
 
  Work in the Premises, Tenant shall not permit any mechanic’s liens to be
 
  filed against the Premises or the Building for any work performed, materials
 
  furnished or obligation incurred by or at the request of Tenant. If any such
 
  a lien or encumbrance is filed, then Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days
 
  after Landlord has delivered notice of the filing to Tenant, either pay the
 
  amount of the lien or diligently contest such lien and deliver to Landlord a
 
  bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. If Tenant fails
 
  to timely take either such action, then Landlord may pay the lien claim
SECTION 8.
  without inquiry as to the validity thereof, and any amounts so paid,
IMPROVEMENTS AND
  including expenses and interest, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within
REPAIRS
  ten days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefore.
 
  9. Permitted and Prohibited Uses. Tenant shall use the Premises only for the
 
  Permitted Use and shall comply with all laws, orders, rules, and regulations
 
  relating to the use, condition, and occupancy of the Premises, the Building,
 
  the parking areas and all common areas. The Premises shall not be used for
 
  any use other than the Permitted Use. The Premises shall not be used for a
 
  use which is disreputable, illegal or immoral; creates extraordinary fire
 
  hazards; results in a nuisance to other tenants; induces vibrations, noise,
 
  odors or blight noticeable by the public or other tenants; results in an
 
  increased rate of insurance on the Building or its contents or the storage of
 
  any hazardous materials or substances. If, because of Tenant’s acts or
 
  omissions, the rate of insurance on the Building or its contents increases,
 
  Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such increase on demand, and
 
  acceptance of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s
SECTION 9.
  other rights. Tenant shall conduct its business and control its agents,
PERMITTED AND
  employees, and invitees in such a manner as not to create any nuisance or
PROHIBITED USES
  interfere with other tenants or Landlord in its management of the Building.
 
  10. (a) Transfers; Consent. Tenant shall not, without the prior written
 
  consent of Landlord which Landlord shall not be unreasonably withheld,
 
  conditioned or delayed (1) assign, transfer, or encumber this Lease or any
 
  estate or interest herein, whether directly or by operation of law, (2)
 
  permit any other entity to become Tenant hereunder by merger, consolidation,
 
  or other reorganization; provided that in the event an entity with a greater
 
  net worth than Tenant desires to merge with Tenant, Landlord’s consent shall
 
  not be required, (3) if Tenant is an entity other than a corporation whose
 
  stock is publicly traded, permit the transfer of an ownership interest in
 
  Tenant so as to result in a change in the current control of Tenant, (4)
 
  grant any concession of any portion of the Premises, or (5) permit the use of
 
  the Premises by any parties other than Tenant (any of the events listed in
 
  Sections 10.(a)(1) through 10.(a)(6) being a “Transfer”). If Tenant requests
 
  Landlord’s consent to a Transfer, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with a
 
  written description of all terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer,
 
  copies of the proposed documentation (including but not limited to any
 
  assignments or sub-leases, but specifically excluding any sales agreements),
 
  and the following information about the proposed transferee: name and
 
  address; reasonably satisfactory information about its business and business
 
  history; its proposed use of the Premises; current banking, financial, and
 
  other credit information; and general references sufficient to enable
 
  Landlord to reasonably determine the proposed transferee’s creditworthiness
 
  and character. In order to defray Landlord’s costs associated with a proposed
 
  transfer Tenant shall pay the sum of $1,000.00 to Landlord at the time of
 
  such request. If Landlord consents to a proposed Transfer, then the proposed
 
  transferee shall deliver to Landlord a written agreement whereby it expressly
 
  assumes the Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Landlord’s consent to a Transfer
 
  shall not release Tenant from performing its obligations under this Lease,
 
  but rather Tenant and its transferee shall be jointly and severally liable
 
  therefore. Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not waive Landlord’s
 
  rights to object to or deny any subsequent Transfers. If an Event of Default
 
  occurs while the Premises or any part thereof are subject to a Transfer, then
 
  Landlord, in addition to its other remedies, may collect directly from such
 
  transferee all rents becoming due to Tenant and apply such rents against
 
  Rent. Tenant authorizes its transferees to make payments of rent directly to
 
  Landlord upon receipt of notice from Landlord to do so.
 
  (b) Subletting. Notwithstanding the foregoing as set forth in Section 10(a),
 
  Tenant shall have the right to sublet or license all or a portion of the
 
  Premises to a third party upon written notice to Landlord. Landlord
 
  acknowledges that certain vendors, partners and customers of Tenant
 
  (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) require extensive training and/or project
 
  development at Tenant’s offices. Tenant requests the right to charge said
 
  Tenant Parties an amount which could be construed as Rent for the time spent
 
  on the Premises and said amount shall not be subject to Section 10(c) below.
 
  (c) Additional Compensation. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately upon
 
  receipt thereof, one-half (1/2) of all compensation received by Tenant for a
 
  Transfer that exceeds the aggregate Base Rent and Tenant’s share of Basic
SECTION 10.
  Costs allocable to the portion of the Premises covered thereby, less any
ASSIGNMENT AND
  costs of subleasing, tenant improvements, fees, commissions, moving costs and
SUBLETTING
  any other related expenses.
 
  11. (a) Tenant Insurance. Tenant shall at its expense procure and maintain
 
  throughout the Term the following insurance policies: (1) comprehensive
 
  general liability insurance (“CGL”), and, if necessary, commercial umbrella
 
  insurance, in amounts of not less than a combined single limit of $3,000,000
 
  (the “Initial Liability Insurance Amount”), insuring Tenant, Landlord,
 
  Landlord’s agents and their respective affiliates against all liability for
 
  injury to or death of a person or persons or damage to property arising from
 
  the use and occupancy of the Premises, (2) insurance covering the full value
 
  of Tenant’s property and improvements, and other property (including property
 
  of others), in the Premises, and (3) workman’s compensation insurance
 
  required under Texas law, containing a waiver of subrogation endorsement
 
  reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The CGL shall include coverage of a
 
  minimum of $1 million for bodily injury by accident or $1 million each
 
  employee for bodily injury by disease for each employee. Such CGL shall be
 
  written on ISO occurrence form CG 00 01 01 96 (or a substitute form providing
 
  equivalent coverage) and shall cover liability arising from premises,
 
  operations, independent contractors, products-completed operations, personal
 
  injury and advertising injury, and liability assumed under an insured
 
  contract. Landlord shall be included as an insured under the CGL, using ISO
 
  additional insured endorsement CG 20 11 or a substitute providing equivalent
 
  coverage, and under the commercial umbrella, if any. This insurance shall
 
  apply as primary insurance with respect to any other insurance or
 
  self-insurance programs afforded to Landlord. There shall be no endorsement
 
  or modification of the CGL to make it excess over other available insurance;
 
  alternatively, if the CGL states that it is excess or pro rata, the policy
 
  shall be endorsed to be primary with respect to the additional insured.
 
  All such insurance policies shall be in form, and issued by companies,
 
  reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The term “affiliate” shall mean any
 
  person or entity which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by,
 
  or is under common control with the party in question. By requiring
 
  insurance herein, Landlord does not represent that coverage and limits will
 
  necessarily be adequate to protect Tenant, and as such coverage and limits
 
  shall not be deemed as a limitation of Tenant's liability under the
 
  indemnities granted to Landlord in this Lease. Tenant may, at its option,
 
  purchase business income, business interruption, extra expense or similar
 
  coverage as part of this CGL, and in no event shall Landlord be liable for
 
  any business interruption or other consequential loss sustained by Tenant,
 
  whether or not it is insured, even if such loss is caused by the negligence
 
  of Landlord, its employees, officers, directors or agents, but not for any
 
  gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, officers,
 
  directors or agents. Tenant may, at its option, purchase insurance to cover
 
  its personal property. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any damage to
 
  or loss of personal property sustained by Tenant, whether or not it is
 
  insured, even if such loss is caused by the negligence of Landlord, its
 
  employees, officers, directors or agents.
 
  (b) Landlord Insurance. Landlord shall maintain, without cost to Tenant
 
  (except as otherwise provided in Basic Costs), with an insurer(s) holding a
 
  Best's Rating of B+ or higher with a Financial Size of Class IX or higher,
 
  and reasonably acceptable to Tenant:
 
  (i) ISO Simplified Commercial General Liability Insurance. The limits of
 
  liability of such insurance shall be an amount not less than Three Million
 
  and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) per occurrence, Bodily Injury including
 
  death and Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence,
 
  Property Damage Liability or Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000)
 
  combined single limit for Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability; and
 
  (ii) Property insurance on the Building, the Premises and the common areas
 
  insuring ninety percent (90%) of the full replacement value thereof (less
 
  foundations). The policy shall not include a deductible in excess of One
 
  Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), and shall include, but not be limited
 
  to, fire and extended coverage perils. The policy will contain appropriate
 
  endorsements waiving the insurer's right of subrogation against Tenant.
 
  (c) Waiver of Negligence Claims; No Subrogation. Landlord shall not be
 
  liable to Tenant or those claiming by, through, or under Tenant for any
 
  injury to or death of any person or persons or the damage to or theft,
 
  destruction, loss, or loss of use of any property or inconvenience (a “Loss”)
 
  caused by casualty, theft, fire, third parties, or any other matter
 
  (including Losses arising through repair or alteration of any part of the
 
  Building, or failure to make repairs, or from any other cause), unless the
 
  result of gross negligence of any party caused such Loss in whole or in part.
 
  Landlord and Tenant each waives any claim it might have against the other for
 
  any damage to or theft, destruction, loss, or loss of use of any property, to
 
  the extent the same is insured or required to be insured against under any
 
  insurance policy that covers the Building, the Premises, Landlord’s or
 
  Tenant’s fixtures, personal property, leasehold improvements, or business,
 
  unless caused by the gross negligence of the such party. Each party shall
 
  cause its insurance carrier to endorse all applicable policies waiving the
 
  carrier’s rights of recovery under subrogation or otherwise against the other
 
  party.
 
  (d) Indemnity. Subject to Section 11.(c), Tenant shall defend, indemnify,
 
  and hold harmless Landlord and its agents from and against all claims,
 
  demands, liabilities, causes of action, suits, judgments, and expenses
 
  (including attorneys’ fees) for any Loss arising from any occurrence on the
 
  Premises or from Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease
 
  (other than a Loss arising from the sole or gross negligence or willful
 
  misconduct of Landlord or its agents), even though caused or alleged to be
 
  caused by the joint, comparative, or concurrent negligence or fault of
 
  Landlord or its agents, and even though any such claim, cause of action, or
 
  suit is based upon or alleged to be based upon the strict liability of
 
  Landlord or its agents. This indemnity provision is intended to indemnify
SECTION 11.
  Landlord and its agents against the consequences of their own negligence or
INSURANCE; WAIVERS;
  fault as provided above when Landlord or its agents are jointly,
SUBROGATION;
  comparatively, or concurrently negligent with Tenant. This indemnity
INDEMNITY
  provision shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease.
 
  12. (a) Subordination. This Lease is subordinate to any deed of trust,
 
  mortgage, or other security instrument (a “Mortgage”), or any ground lease,
 
  master lease, or primary lease (a “Primary Lease”), that now or hereafter
 
  covers all or any part of the Premises (the mortgagee under any Mortgage or
 
  the Lessor under any Primary Lease is referred to herein as “Landlord’s
 
  Mortgagee”) provided that as a condition precedent to the foregoing
 
  subordination, upon foreclosure of the property covering the Premises, or the
 
  termination of any primary or master lease, Landlord’s Mortgagee shall
 
  immediately execute a new lease agreement for the remaining unexpired Term
 
  with Tenant containing terms identical to the terms set forth herein,
 
  including, without limitation, any renewal options; provided further, that no
 
  Security Deposit shall be required in the event Tenant’s Security Deposit is
 
  not delivered by Landlord to Landlord’s Mortgagee. The provisions of this
 
  Section 12(a) shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be
 
  required to effect such subordination; however, Landlord shall use
 
  commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Tenant, and Tenant shall
 
  execute from time to time within ten days after delivery to Tenant, an
 
  instrument from each Landlord’s Mortgagee evidencing the subordination of
 
  this Lease to any such Mortgage or Primary Lease (which instrument shall
 
  include a provision that Tenant’s occupancy and use of the Premises shall not
 
  be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default of this Lease, and which
 
  instrument shall be on Landlord’s Mortgagee’s standard form).
 
  (b) Attornment. Tenant shall attorn to any party succeeding to Landlord’s
 
  interest in the Premises, whether by purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of
 
  foreclosure, power of sale, termination of lease, or otherwise, upon such
 
  party’s request, and shall execute such agreements confirming such attornment
 
  as such party may reasonably request.
 
  (c) Notice to Landlord’s Mortgagee. Tenant shall not seek to enforce any
 
  remedy it may have for any default on the part of the Landlord without first
 
  giving written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, specifying
 
  the default in reasonable detail, to any Landlord’s Mortgagee whose address
 
  has been given to Tenant, and affording such Landlord’s Mortgagee a
SECTION 12.
  reasonable opportunity to perform Landlord’s obligations hereunder.
SUBORDINATION
  (d) Landlord will request the Lender to provide Tenant a Non Disturbance
ATTORNMENT; NOTICE
  Agreement. Landlord cannot guarantee Lender will provide such Non Disturbance
TO LANDLORD’S
  Agreement, or that Lender will not request modifications to the form of the
MORTGAGEE
  SNDA proposed by Tenant or Landlord.
 
  13. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Building which
 
  are attached hereto as Exhibit B, and all parking rules and regulations that
 
  are attached hereto as Exhibit E. Landlord may, from time to time, change
 
  such rules and regulations for the safety, care, or cleanliness of the
 
  Building and related facilities, provided that such changes are reasonable,
 
  applicable to all similarly situated tenants of the Building and will not
 
  unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Premises. Tenant
 
  shall be responsible for the compliance with such rules and regulations by
 
  its employees, agents, and invitees, and with any subsequent rules and
 
  regulations as Landlord at any time or times hereafter may make and
 
  communicate in writing to Tenant, provided, however, that in case of any
SECTION 13.
  conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Lease and any of the
RULES AND
  Rules and Regulations as originally promulgated or as changed, the provisions
REGULATIONS
  of this Lease shall control.
 
  14. (a) Taking - Landlord’s and Tenant’s Rights. If any part of the
 
  Building is taken by right of eminent domain or conveyed in lieu thereof (a
 
  “Taking”), and such Taking prevents Tenant from conducting its business in
 
  the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately
 
  before such Taking, then Landlord may, at its expense, relocate Tenant to
 
  office space reasonably comparable to the Premises, provided that Landlord
 
  notifies Tenant of its intention to do so prior to the effective date of the
 
  Taking. Such relocation may be for no longer than ninety (90) days, and, in
 
  the event the relocation of Tenant is greater than ninety (90) days, then
 
  Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease. Landlord shall complete
 
  any such relocation within ten (10) days after Landlord has notified Tenant
 
  of its intention to relocate Tenant. If Landlord does not elect to relocate
 
  Tenant following such Taking, then Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the
 
  date of such Taking by giving written notice to Landlord within sixty (60)
 
  days after the Taking, and Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such
 
  Taking. If Landlord does not relocate Tenant and Tenant does not terminate
 
  this Lease, then Rent shall be adjusted on a reasonable basis as to that
 
  portion of the Premises rendered untenable by the Taking.
 
  (b) Taking - Landlord’s and Tenant’s Rights. If any material portion, but
 
  less than all, of the Building becomes subject to a Taking, or if Landlord is
 
  required to pay any of the proceeds received for a Taking to Landlord’s
 
  Mortgagee, then this Lease, at the option of either party, exercised by
 
  written notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after such Taking,
 
  shall terminate and Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such Taking.
 
  If either party does not so terminate this Lease, then this Lease will
 
  continue, but if any portion of the Premises has been taken, Base Rent shall
 
  adjust as provided in the last sentence of Section 14.(a).
 
  (c) Award. If any Taking occurs, then Landlord shall receive the entire
 
  award or other compensation for the Land, the Building, and other
 
  improvements taken. Any value or award separately attributed to the leasehold
 
  shall belong to Tenant. In addition, Tenant may separately pursue a claim
 
  against the condemner only for the value of Tenant’s personal property which
SECTION 14.
  Tenant is entitled to remove under this Lease, moving costs and loss of
CONDEMNATION
  business.
 
  15. (a) Repair Estimate. If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire
 
  or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days
 
  after such Casualty (provided that Landlord agrees to use commercially
 
  reasonable efforts to notify Tenant earlier if Landlord is able to do so),
 
  deliver to Tenant a good faith estimate (the “Damage Notice”) of the time
 
  needed to repair the damage caused by such Casualty.
 
  (b) Landlord’s and Tenant’s Rights. If a material portion of the Premises or
 
  the Building is damaged by Casualty such that Tenant is prevented from
 
  conducting its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to
 
  that conducted immediately before such Casualty and Landlord estimates that
 
  the damage caused thereby cannot be repaired within 180 days after the
 
  commencement of repair, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering
 
  written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate within thirty (30)
 
  days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant. If Tenant does not
 
  terminate this Lease, then (subject to Landlord’s rights under Section
 
  15.(c)), Landlord shall repair the Building or the Premises, as the case may
 
  be, as provided below, and Rent for the portion of the Premises rendered
 
  untenable by the damage shall be adjusted on a reasonable basis from the date
 
  of damage until the completion of the repair, unless Tenant caused such
 
  damage, as determined by an impartial third party (i.e., a fire marshal) in
 
  which case, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent without abatement.
 
  (c) Landlord’s and Tenant’s Rights. If a Casualty damages a material portion
 
  of the Building, and Landlord makes a good faith determination that restoring
 
  the Premises would be uneconomical, or if Landlord is required to pay any
 
  insurance proceeds arising out of the Casualty to Landlord’s Mortgagee, then
 
  either party may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of its
 
  election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has
 
  been delivered to Tenant, and Base Rent hereunder shall be abated as of the
 
  date of the Casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should such damage
 
  occur within the last twelve (12) months of the Term, as renewed and extended
 
  if applicable, Tenant shall have the right in tenant’s sole discretion to
 
  terminate this Lease.
 
  (d) Repair Obligation. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease
 
  following a Casualty, then Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after
 
  such Casualty, commence to repair the Building and the Premises and shall
 
  proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building and Premises to
 
  substantially the same condition as they existed immediately before such
 
  Casualty; however, Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any
 
  part of the furniture, equipment, fixtures, and other improvements which may
 
  have been placed by, or at the request of, Tenant or other occupants in the
SECTION 15.
  Building or the Premises, and Landlord’s obligation to repair or restore the
FIRE OR OTHER
  Building or Premises shall be limited to the extent of the insurance proceeds
CASUALTY
  actually received by Landlord for the Casualty in question.
 
  16. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against personal
 
  property, furniture, or fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises. If any
 
  taxes for which Tenant is liable are levied or assessed against Landlord or
 
  Landlord’s property and Landlord elects to pay the same, or if the assessed
 
  value of Landlord’s property is increased by inclusion of such personal
 
  property, furniture or fixtures and Landlord elects to pay the taxes based on
 
  such increase, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional Rent and upon
SECTION 16.
  demand, that part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily liable
TAXES
  hereunder.
 
  17. Each of the following occurrences shall constitute an “Event of Default”:
 
  (a) Tenant’s failure to pay Rent, or any other sums due from Tenant to
 
  Landlord under the Lease within ten (10) days following written notice or
 
  demand for payment of past due Rent;
 
  (b) Tenant’s failure to perform, comply with, or observe any agreement or
 
  obligation of Tenant under this Lease (other than a payment obligation) on or
 
  before the thirtieth (30th) day following written notice of such failure;
 
  provided, however, that in the event Tenant is undertaking reasonable efforts
 
  to cure such default, there will no Event of Default so long as Tenant is
 
  diligently working to cure same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
 
  shall not default Tenant for any parking violation unless Tenant is in
 
  violation of any applicable law or Landlord can demonstrate that Tenant’s
 
  parking is impairing Landlord’s ability to lease space in the Building or
 
  that another tenant has articulated that such tenant is incurring parking
 
  problems..
 
  (c) the filing of a petition by or against Tenant (the term “Tenant” shall
 
  include, for the purpose of this Section 17.(c), any guarantor of the
 
  Tenant’s obligations hereunder) (1) in any bankruptcy or other insolvency
 
  proceeding; (2) seeking any relief under any state or federal debtor relief
 
  law; (3) for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver for all or
 
  substantially all of Tenant’s property or for Tenant’s interest in this
 
  Lease; or (4) for the reorganization or modification of Tenant’s capital
 
  structure; provided that Tenant shall have sixty (60) days following the
 
  commencement of an involuntary proceeding to have such proceeding dismissed
 
  before such proceeding shall constitute an Event of Default;
 
  (d) the admission by Tenant that it cannot meet its obligations as they
 
  become due, the making of any transfer in fraud of creditors, or the making
 
  by Tenant of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or a
 
  determination in the reasonable judgment of Landlord that Tenant has become
 
  insolvent by any definition stated under Chapter 24 of the Texas Property
 
  Code or any successor statute; and
 
  (e) If Landlord shall fail to fulfill any covenant or provision of this Lease
 
  on its part to be performed and fail to remedy such failure within thirty
 
  (30) days after Tenant shall have given Landlord written notice of such
SECTION 17.
  failure, then the same shall be an Event of Default by Landlord and Tenant
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
  shall have all rights, powers and remedies available at law or equity.
 
  18. Upon any Event of Default, Landlord may, without further notice or
 
  demand, in addition to all other rights and remedies afforded Landlord
 
  hereunder or by law or equity, take any of the following actions:
 
  (a) Terminate this Lease, in which event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
 
  sum of (1) all Rent accrued hereunder through the date of termination, (2)
 
  all amounts due under Section 19.(a), and (3) an amount equal to (A) the
 
  total Rent that Tenant would have been required to pay for the remainder of
 
  the Term discounted to present value at a per annum rate equal to the “Prime
 
  Rate” as published on the date this Lease is terminated by The Wall Street
 
  Journal, Southwest Edition, in its listing of “Money Rates”, minus (B) the
 
  then present fair rental value of the Premises for such period, similarly
 
  discounted; or
 
  (b) Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises without
 
  terminating this Lease, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord (1) all
 
  Rent and other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of termination of
 
  possession, (2) all amounts due from time to time under Section 19.(a), and
 
  (3) all Rent and other sums required hereunder to be paid by Tenant during
 
  the remainder of the Term, diminished by any net sums thereafter received by
 
  Landlord through reletting the Premises during such period. Landlord shall
 
  use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises. Landlord and Tenant agree that
 
  compliance with the following shall constitute reasonable efforts:
 
  i) Landlord may relet the Premises on such market terms and conditions as
 
  Landlord in its sole discretion may determine (including a term different
 
  from the Term, rental concessions, and alterations to, and improvement of,
 
  the Premises);
 
  ii) however, Landlord shall not be obligated to relet the Premises before
 
  leasing other portions of the Building.
 
  Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be
 
  diminished because of, Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or to collect
 
  rent due for such reletting. Tenant shall not be entitled to the excess of
 
  any consideration obtained by reletting over the Rent due hereunder. Reentry
 
  by Landlord in the Premises shall not affect Tenant’s obligations hereunder
 
  for the unexpired Term; rather, Landlord may, from time to time, bring action
 
  against Tenant to collect amounts due by Tenant, without the necessity of
 
  Landlord’s waiting until the expiration of the Term. Unless Landlord delivers
 
  written notice to Tenant expressly stating that it has elected to terminate
 
  this Lease, all actions taken by Landlord to exclude or dispossess Tenant of
 
  the Premises shall be deemed to be taken under this Section 18.(b). If
 
  Landlord elects to proceed under this Section 18.(b), it may at any time
 
  elect to terminate this Lease under Section 18.(a).
 
  (c) Change the door locks to the Premises and exclude Tenant from the
 
  Premises. In the event Landlord shall, for the purpose of collecting Rent, or
 
  reentering or regaining possession of the Premises, change the lock(s) to the
 
  Premises, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide Tenant with the new
 
  key(s) to the Premises or provide Tenant with access to the Premises until
 
  and unless Tenant shall have first cured all outstanding defaults [but if
 
  Landlord has theretofore formally terminated this Lease or Tenant’s right of
 
  possession of the Premises, or if the default(s) is/are not subject to cure
 
  (such as, but without limitation, Tenant’s assignment or subletting, change
 
  of Permissible Use or change of trade name without Landlord’s consent, or
 
  Tenant’s early desertion, vacation or abandonment of the Premises), Landlord
SECTION 18.
  shall not be obligated to provide the new key(s) to Tenant under any
REMEDIES
  circumstances].
 
  19. (a) Payment by Tenant. Upon any Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to
 
  Landlord all costs incurred by Landlord (including court costs and reasonable
 
  attorneys’ fees and expenses) in (1) obtaining possession of the Premises,
 
  (2) removing, storing and/or selling Tenant’s or any other occupant’s
 
  property, (3) repairing, restoring, altering, remodeling, or otherwise
 
  putting the Premises into condition acceptable to a new tenant, (4) if Tenant
 
  is dispossessed of the Premises and this Lease is not terminated, reletting
 
  all or any part of the Premises (including brokerage commissions, cost of
 
  tenant finish work, and other costs incidental to such reletting), (5)
 
  performing Tenant’s obligations which Tenant failed to perform, and (6)
 
  enforcing, or advising Landlord of, its rights, remedies, and recourses
 
  arising out of the Event of Default.
 
  (b) No Waiver. Landlord’s acceptance of all or a portion of Rent following
 
  an Event of Default shall not waive Landlord’s rights regarding such Event of
SECTION 19.
  Default. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms
PAYMENT BY TENANT;
  contained herein shall waive Landlord’s rights regarding any future violation
NON-WAIVER
  of such term or violation of any other term.
 
  20. No act by Landlord shall be deemed an acceptance or a surrender of the
 
  Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall be
 
  valid unless the same is made in writing and signed by Landlord. At the
 
  expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the
 
  Premises with all improvements located thereon in good repair and condition,
 
  reasonable wear and tear (and condemnation and fire or other casualty damage
 
  not caused by Tenant, as to which Sections 14 and 15 shall control) excepted,
 
  and shall deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises. Provided that Tenant
 
  has performed all of its obligations hereunder, Tenant may remove all
 
  unattached trade fixtures, furniture, and personal property placed in the
 
  Premises by Tenant (but Tenant shall not remove any such item which was paid
 
  for, in whole or in part, by Landlord) and all other items previously
 
  identified by Tenant and agreed to by Landlord. Additionally, Tenant shall
 
  remove such alterations, additions, improvements, trade fixtures, equipment,
 
  wiring, and furniture that is installed or placed in the Premises by Tenant
 
  as Landlord may reasonably request and which Landlord shall identify no later
 
  than ninety (90) days prior to the then expiring Term, as extended or
 
  renewed. Tenant shall repair all damage caused by Tenant’s removal of such
 
  items. All items not so removed shall be deemed to have been abandoned by
 
  Tenant and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed, or otherwise
SECTION 20.
  disposed of by Landlord without notice to Tenant and without any obligation
SURRENDER OF
  to account for or to pay for such items. The provisions of this Section 20
PREMISES
  shall survive the end of the Term.
 
  21. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises at the end of the Term, then
 
  Tenant shall be a tenant at will and, in addition to all other damages and
 
  remedies to which Landlord may be entitled for such holding over, Tenant
 
  shall pay, in addition to the other Rent, a daily Base Rent equal to the
 
  greater of (a) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the daily Base Rent
 
  payable during the last month of the Term and one hundred percent (100%) of
 
  the Basic Costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Tenant shall only be
 
  subject to paying such holdover amount in the event Landlord has provided
 
  Tenant with written notice that Landlord has entered into good faith
 
  negotiations with one or more prospective tenants (without having to divulge
 
  the identity of such prospective tenant or tenants) that are considering
 
  leasing the Premises or a portion thereof. In addition, in the event of such
 
  holding over, Tenant shall be liable for and shall indemnify Landlord for all
 
  costs, losses, awards, or judgments (or reasonable negotiated settlement
 
  amount if any claim results in a settlement prior to any judgment award) due
 
  to Landlord’s inability to deliver the Premises to a successor tenant due to
SECTION 21.
  Tenant’s holding over. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed consent to
HOLDING OVER
  holding over by Tenant.
 
  22. Provided that the exercise of such rights does not unreasonably
 
  interfere with Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, Landlord shall have the
 
  following rights:
 
  (a) to decorate and to make inspections, repairs, alterations, additions,
 
  changes, or improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in and about the
 
  Building, or any part thereof; for such purposes, to enter upon the Premises
 
  upon reasonable notice to Tenant, and, during the continuance of any such
 
  work, to temporarily close doors, entryways, public space, and corridors in
 
  the Building; to interrupt or temporarily suspend Building services and
 
  facilities; and to change the arrangement and location of entrances or
 
  passageways, doors, and doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, restrooms, or
 
  other public parts of the Building;
 
  (b) to take such reasonable measures as Landlord deems advisable for the
 
  security of the Building and its occupants, including without limitation,
 
  searching all persons entering or leaving the Building; evacuating the
 
  Building for cause, suspected cause, or for drill purposes; temporarily
 
  denying access to the Building; and closing the Building after normal
 
  business hours and on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, subject, however, to
 
  Tenant’s right to enter when the Building is closed after normal business
 
  hours under such reasonable regulations as Landlord may prescribe from time
 
  to time which may include by way of example, but not of limitation, that
 
  persons entering or leaving the Building, during normal business hours,
 
  identify themselves to a security officer by registration or otherwise and
 
  that such persons establish their right to enter or leave the Building; and
 
  (c) to change the name by which the Building is designated provided Tenant
 
  shall be compensated its commercially reasonable out of pocket costs for any
 
  name change for an amount not to exceed Twenty Five Thousand and No/100
 
  Dollars ($25,000); and
 
  (d) to enter the Premises at all reasonable hours and upon giving Tenant
 
  reasonable notice to show the Premises to existing or prospective purchasers
 
  or lenders, and to prospective tenants, no earlier than two hundred seventy
 
  (270) days prior to the then expiring Term, as renewed or extended. Landlord
SECTION 22.
  shall be afforded the right to enter the Premises at any time without notice
CERTAIN RIGHTS
  in the case of an emergency provided that notice will be delivered to Tenant
RESERVED BY
  of any such access in the event of an emergency as reasonably practical
LANDLORD
  afterwards.
SECTION 23. (Reserved)
       
 
  24. (a) Landlord Transfer. Landlord may transfer, in whole or in part, the
 
  Building and any of its rights under this Lease. If Landlord assigns its
 
  rights under this Lease and the assignee assumes all of Landlord’s
 
  liabilities under the Lease and arising following such transfer, including,
 
  without limitation, the obligations arising in connection with the Security
 
  Deposit, then Landlord shall thereby be released from any obligations under
 
  this Lease following such transfer.
 
  (b) Landlord’s Liability. The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any
 
  default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall be limited to
 
  Tenant’s actual direct, but not special, incidental, or consequential,
 
  damages therefore, and shall only be recoverable from the interest of
 
  Landlord in the Building and the Land, and Landlord shall not be personally
 
  liable for any deficiency.
 
  (c) Force Majeure. Other than for Tenant’s monetary obligations under this
 
  Lease and obligations which can be cured by the payment of money (e.g.,
 
  maintaining insurance), whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for
 
  action to be taken by either party hereto, such party shall not be liable or
 
  responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation for any
 
  such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages
 
  of labor or materials, war, governmental laws, regulations, delay or
 
  restrictions, or any other causes of any kind whatsoever which are beyond the
 
  control of such party.
 
  (d) Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each warrant to the other that it has not
 
  dealt with any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or
 
  execution of this Lease, except for Tenant’s Broker, as may be shown in the
 
  Basic Lease Information. Tenant’s Broker shall be paid by the party named
 
  next to the name of the Broker as shown in the Basic Lease Information.
 
  Except as specifically set forth in this subsection (d), Tenant and Landlord
 
  shall each indemnify the other against all costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees,
 
  and other liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by any
 
  broker or agent claiming the same by, through, or under the indemnifying
 
  party.
 
  (e) Estoppel Certificates and Financial Information. From time to time,
 
  Tenant shall furnish to any party designated by Landlord, within ten (10)
 
  days after Landlord has made a request therefore, a certificate signed by
 
  Tenant confirming and containing such factual certifications and
 
  representations as to this Lease as Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee may
 
  reasonably request. Further, in the event Tenant is not a publicly traded
 
  financial entity, from time to time (but not more often than once in any
 
  given six (6) month period), within fifteen days after Landlord’s request
 
  therefore, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee the most
 
  recent annual financial statements (including balance sheet and income
 
  statement prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
 
  practices) for Tenant to the extent prepared in accordance with said
 
  standard.
 
  (f) Notices. All notices and other communications given pursuant to this
 
  Lease shall be in writing and shall be (1) mailed by first class, United
 
  States Mail, postage prepaid, certified, with return receipt requested, and
 
  addressed to the parties hereto at the address specified in the Basic Lease
 
  Information, or (2) hand delivered or delivered by overnight delivery service
 
  to the intended address. Notice sent by certified mail, postage prepaid,
 
  shall be effective three (3) business days after being deposited in the
 
  United States Mail; all other notices shall be effective upon delivery to the
 
  address of the addressee. The parties hereto may change their addresses by
 
  giving notice thereof to the other in conformity with this provision.
 
  (g) Severability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal,
 
  invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws, then the remainder of
 
  this Lease shall not be affected thereby and in lieu of such clause or
 
  provision, there shall be added as a part of this Lease a clause or provision
 
  as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable clause or
 
  provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.
 
  (h) Amendments and Binding Effect. This Lease may not be amended except by
 
  instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. No provision of this
 
  Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord or Tenant unless such
 
  waiver is in writing signed by such party, and no custom or practice which
 
  may evolve between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof
 
  shall waive or diminish the right of Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the
 
  performance by the other party in strict accordance with the terms hereof.
 
  The terms and conditions contained in this Lease shall inure to the benefit
 
  of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and upon their respective
 
  successors in interest and legal representatives, except as otherwise herein
 
  expressly provided. This Lease is for the sole benefit of Landlord and
 
  Tenant, and, other than Landlord’s Mortgagee, no third party shall be deemed
 
  a third party beneficiary hereof.
 
  (i) Quiet Enjoyment. So long as there is no uncured Event of Default, Tenant
 
  shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, without
 
  hindrance from Landlord or any party claiming by, through, or under Landlord,
 
  subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
 
  (j) Joint and Several Liability. If there is more than one Tenant, then the
 
  obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and several. If
 
  there is a guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, then the obligations
 
  hereunder imposed upon Tenant shall be the joint and several obligations of
 
  Tenant and such guarantor, and Landlord need not first proceed against Tenant
 
  before proceeding against such guarantor nor shall any such guarantor be
 
  released from its guaranty for any reason whatsoever.
 
  (k) Captions. The captions contained in this Lease are for conveniences of
 
  reference only, and do not limit or enlarge the terms and conditions of this
 
  Lease.
 
  (l) No Merger. There shall be no merger of the leasehold estate hereby
 
  created with the fee estate in the Premises or any part thereof if the same
 
  person acquires or holds, directly or indirectly, this Lease or any interest
 
  in this Lease and the fee estate in the leasehold Premises or any interest in
 
  such estate.
 
  (m) No Offer. The submission of this Lease to Tenant shall not be construed
 
  as an offer, nor shall either party have any right under this Lease unless
 
  mutual execution of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant. Neither the
 
  prospective Landlord nor the prospective Tenant shall have any obligation to
 
  negotiate the terms of a possible lease and may withdraw from negotiations at
 
  any time for any reason or for no reason, without liability to the other
 
  party.

  entitled, in addition to any remedy or damages awarded to the Prevailing
 
  Party, the Prevailing Party’s costs of court, out of pocket expenses, and
 
  attorneys’ fees. Attorneys' fees shall include attorneys' fees on any appeal,
 
  bankruptcy matters, costs of collection, and in addition a party entitled to
 
  attorneys' fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for
 
  investigating such action, taking depositions and the discovery, travel,
 
  expert’s fees, and all other necessary costs incurred in such litigation.
SECTION 24.
  The term prevailing party as used herein shall mean the party who obtains
MISCELLANEOUS
  substantially the relief sought.
 
  25. The term “Hazardous Substances”, as used in this Lease shall mean
 
  pollutants, contaminants, toxic or hazardous wastes, or any other substances,
 
  the removal of which is required or the use of which is restricted,
 
  prohibited or penalized by any “Environmental Law” which term shall mean any
 
  Law relating to health, pollution, or protection of the environment. Tenant
 
  hereby agrees that (a). no activity will be conducted on the Premises that
 
  will produce any Hazardous Substances, except for such activities that are
 
  part of the ordinary course of Tenant’s business activities (the “Permitted
 
  Activities”) provided such Permitted Activities are conducted in accordance
 
  with all Environmental Laws; (b). the Premises will not be used in any manner
 
  for the storage of any Hazardous Substances except for any temporary storage
 
  of incidental amounts of such materials that are used in the ordinary course
 
  of Tenant’s business (the “Permitted Materials”) provided such Permitted
 
  Materials are properly stored in a manner and location satisfying all
 
  Environmental Laws; (c). no portion of the Premises will be used as a
 
  landfill or a dump; (d). Tenant will not install any underground tanks of any
 
  type; (e). Tenant will not allow any surface or subsurface conditions to

  Hazardous Substances to be brought onto the Premises, except for the
 
  Permitted Materials, and if any Hazardous Substances other than Permitted
 
  Materials are brought or found located thereon, the same shall be immediately
 
  removed by Tenant, with proper disposal, and all required cleanup procedures
 
  shall be diligently undertaken pursuant to all Environmental Laws; and (g).
 
  Tenant shall remove all Permitted Materials from the Premises in a manner
 
  acceptable to Landlord before Tenant’s right to possess the Premises is
 
  terminated. If at any time during or after the Term, the Premises are found
 
  to be so contaminated or subject to such conditions due to Tenant’s actions
 
  as determined by a competent independent third party, Tenant shall defend,
 
  indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, demands, actions,
 
  liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and obligations of any nature arising
 
  from or as a result of the use of the Premises by Tenant, including
 
  Landlord’s reasonable legal fees and costs incurred, except for any
 
  conditions or contamination caused by Landlord. The foregoing indemnity shall
 
  survive termination or expiration of this Lease. Unless expressly identified
 
  on an addendum to this Lease and except for ordinary office and cleaning
 
  products used in accordance with all Environmental Laws, as of the date
 
  hereof there are no “Permitted Activities” or “Permitted Materials” for
 
  purposes of the foregoing provision and none shall exist unless and until
 
  approved in writing by the Landlord. Landlord may enter the Premises and
 
  conduct environmental inspections and tests therein as it may reasonably
 
  require from time to time, provided that Landlord shall use reasonable
 
  efforts to minimize the interference with Tenant’s business. Such inspections
 
  and tests shall be conducted at Landlord’s expense, unless they reveal the
 
  presence of Hazardous Substances (other than Permitted Materials or those
 
  placed in the Premises by Landlord) or that Tenant has not complied with the
SECTION 25.
  requirements set forth in this Section 25, in which case Tenant shall
HAZARDOUS
  reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof within ten days after Landlord’s
SUBSTANCES
  request therefore.

SECTION 26.
  Two will be connected by three (3), four inch (4”) conduits enabling tenants
TELECOM-MUNICATIONS

  charge and made available on a first come, first served basis. Such
 
  amenities shall include, but not be limited to a fitness center and locker
 
  room facilities (containing lockers and bench seating) with showers, the
 
  secured bicycle storage area and access to a conference room. Landlord
 
  currently has identified a tenant that will operate a deli service in the
 
  Building on the Commencement Date. In the event the full service deli
 
  servicing the Building (or currently anticipated to service the Building on
 
  the Commencement Date) closes, Landlord will use reasonable commercial
SECTION 27.
  efforts to find another tenant providing food service of comparable quality
BUILDING AMENITIES
  in the Building.
 
  28. Fire and Safety. Landlord hereby represents that the Building will meet
 
  all local safety codes and will be fully sprinklered with an automatic fire

SECTION 28.
  alarm system, including, but not limited to, a smoke detection system and
FIRE AND SAFETY
  visual strobe and audio sensors throughout the Building.

  to May 1, 2009 (which date shall be extended for each day Tenant fails to
 
  timely comply with the time periods set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit D to

Any notices given prior to said 360 day period or following said 270 day period shall be void and without force and effect. No later than thirty (30) days following the date Tenant has provided written notice of the exercise of its option to extend the Term, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease extending the Term on the same terms provided in this Lease, except as follows:

1.   The Basic Rental for the Premises (on a per square foot basis) payable for each month of such extended Term shall be the prevailing rental rate for Class A buildings located in Austin, Texas at the time of commencement of such extended term as reasonably determined by Landlord based on forecasting and extrapolating the past lease transactions in the Austin area during the six (6) month period immediately preceding Tenant’s exercise of its option to extend or renew the Lease Term as provided above to reasonably predict the prevailing rental rate at the time of commencement of such extended term, for space of equivalent quality, size, utility and location, with the length of the extended Term and the credit standing of Tenant to be taken into account. If requested by Tenant in writing, Landlord agrees to provide Tenant, upon Tenant signing a non-disclosure agreement, with information on such prior leases entered into by Landlord upon which Landlord would determine the prevailing rental rate for the extended or renewal term of this Lease;

2.   Except as specifically set forth above, Tenant shall have no further renewal options unless expressly granted by Landlord in writing; and

3.   Landlord shall lease to Tenant and Tenant shall accept the Premises “As-Is” and in its then-current condition, and Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any allowances (e.g., moving allowance, construction allowance, and the like) or other tenant inducements.

5.   Tenant’s rights under this Addendum shall terminate if (a) this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises is terminated, (b) Tenant assigns any of its interest in this Lease to a third party (other than a transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer as described in Section 10.(b) of the Lease) or sublets more than fifty percent of the Premises to a third party or parties (other than a transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer as defined in Section 10.(b) of the Lease), or (c) Tenant fails to timely exercise its option under this Exhibit, time being of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise thereof.

When said third party offers to lease such space, Landlord shall first offer to lease such space to Tenant (herein “First Offer”). The terms and conditions offered to Tenant shall be equal to the third party offering terms and conditions; provided, however, if Tenant elects to exercise this right of first refusal within the first four (4) months of the term of this Lease, then all terms and conditions for the expansion space shall be identical to the terms and conditions of this Lease except the Tenant Improvement dollars spent will all be pro-rated accordingly. If, within five (5) business days after Landlord gives Tenant notice (the “Option Notice”) of the bona fide third party offer, Tenant does not notify Landlord in writing that Tenant elects to lease all of such space so offered, and fails to execute a lease on such space (containing the terms above) as so offered within ten (10) days after presentment of such lease by Landlord to Tenant, then Tenant’s rights to lease such additional space shall immediately terminate and expire, provided, however, that the foregoing First Offer shall be a continuous right and in the event Tenant does not elect to lease the space as provided in the Option Notice and Landlord does not ultimately lease the additional space as provided in the Option Notice to the prospective tenant identified in the Option Notice, the First Offer shall continue to apply to the Option Space and Tenant shall have the First Offer rights to said space.
