1.2 Permitted Use.

2.1 Base Rent and Pass-Thru Rents.

Lessee shall pay Base Rent(s) per square foot of Rentable Area per calendar year as set forth in the Basic Lease Summary #7. As used in this Lease, the term “Rent” shall refer collectively to the Base Rent, Lessee’s Pro Rata Share of Building Operating Expenses (hereafter referred to as “Pass-Thru Rent”), all other rental adjustments, and other charges of any kind, type or nature whatsoever.

Pass-Thru Rent (representing Lessee’s Pro Rata Share of Building Operating Expenses over the Expense Stop as specified in Basic Lease Summary #8 shall be paid to Lessor in accordance with paragraph 32.1. Building Operating Expenses up to such Expense Stop amount shall be paid by Lessor.

3.1 Date and Place of Payment.

The monthly Base Rent and Pass-Thru Rent shall be due on the first (1^st) day of each calendar month without demand. All Rent and other sums are due at the address designated in the Basic Lease Summary #2 or other location provided by Lessor. All sums due by Lessee are without right of offset or deduction. Monies mailed are considered timely paid only if received by Lessor by the due date. All other sums, besides Rent, shall be due upon delivery of written notice in accordance with paragraph 29.1.

3.2 Delinquent Payments.

If any Rent or other sum due by Lessee to Lessor is received and accepted by Lessor after the fifth (5^th) business day of the month, Lessee shall pay a late charge “Late Charge(s)” equal to the amount specified in Basic Lease Summary #7 . Late Charges shall be considered liquidated damages for Lessor’s time, inconvenience and overhead (except for attorneys fees and litigation costs) in collecting delinquent Rent. Lessor’s acceptance of delinquent Rent or other sums shall not constitute permission for Lessee to pay the Rent or other sum late thereafter and shall not constitute a waiver of Lessor’s remedies for subsequent delinquent payments. Late Charges are due immediately upon written notice or demand. All Late Charges shall be paid by check, money order or direct deposit on a national bank, not cash. For each returned check, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all applicable bank charges incurred by Lessor, plus $50.00.

Lessee shall, within ten (10) days after written demand from Lessor, restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.

(b) Lessee. Lessee shall provide Lessee’s own general liability insurance for its operations on the Leased Premises in an amount not less than $1,000,000.

For purposes of waiver of subrogation, Lessor and Lessee release each other and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims based on negligence or otherwise, for loss, damage, or injury which occur hereafter and are insured against by the releasing party under insurance policies carried by Lessor and/or Lessee.

To the extent that it is not covered by Lessor’s insurance, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor for and shall hold Lessor harmless from all fines, claims, liabilities, and suits (including costs and expenses of defending against same) resulting from any breach or nonperformance of the Lease by Lessee or Lessee’s agents, employees, family, licensees, or invitees. To the extent that it is not covered by Lessee’s insurance, Lessor shall indemnify Lessee for and shall hold Lessee harmless from all fines, claims, liabilities, and suits (including costs and expenses of defending against same) resulting from any breach or nonperformance of the Lease by Lessor or Lessor’s agents, employees, family, licensees, or invitees. To the extent that it is covered by Lessor’s insurance, Lessor and Lessee shall not be liable to the other or the other’s agents, employees, or family for any damage to personal property resulting from any act, omission, or negligence of any other tenant, visitor, or occupant of the Building. This paragraph shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease.

13.1 Alterations by Lessee.

Lessee may not make any alterations, improvements, door lock changes, or other modifications of any kind to the Leased Premises without Lessor’s prior written consent. Consent for governmentally required changes may not be unreasonably withheld. “Alterations” include, but are not limited to, improvements glued, screwed, nailed, or otherwise permanently attached to the Building, structural changes, roof and wall penetrations, and all plumbing, electrical, and HVAC changes. Requests for Lessor’s approval shall be in writing and shall be detailed to Lessor’s reasonable satisfaction. The foregoing shall be done only by Lessor’s contractors or employees or by third parties approved by Lessor in writing within three (3) business days. Lessee may be required to pay Lessor in advance for any requested alterations, improvements, lock changes, or other modifications which are approved and performed by Lessor. If same are performed by Lessee with Lessor’s written permission, Lessee shall not allow any liens to be placed against the Building as a result of such additions or alterations. Alterations, improvements, and modifications done at Lessee’s request shall comply with all applicable laws. Changes in Lessee’s alterations or improvements in Leased Premises which may be later required by governmental action shall also be paid for by Lessee. Lessee shall pay Lessor a 10% administrative/supervision fee if Lessor contracts on Lessee’s behalf for any work to be done for Lessee and paid directly by Lessor to such contractors.

13.2 Americans With Disabilities Act.

Lessor shall be responsible for any requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar state or local laws as relate to any Common Area entrance and exit doorways and elevators and any doors into the Leased Premises and to structural building items that Lessor is required to maintain under the terms of this Lease. Lessor agrees to indemnify Lessee for any liability Lessee shall incur as a result of Lessor’s failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph. Lessee agrees to cooperate fully with Lessor to enable Lessor to timely comply with the provisions of this paragraph and to immediately forward to Lessor any notice Lessee receives regarding complaints, injuries, or claims by anyone claiming that those items which are the responsibility of Lessor do not comply with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Lessee shall be responsible for any requirements under such architectural barrier laws as they relate to Lessee’s use of the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, the positioning of Lessee’s furnishings within the Leased Premises. Lessee agrees to indemnify Lessor for any liability Lessor shall incur as a result of Lessee’s failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.

14.1 Removal of Property by Lessee.

Lessee may remove its trade fixtures, furniture, and equipment only if (1) such removal is made prior to the end of the Lease Term, (2) Lessee is not in default under this Lease at time of removal, and (3) such removal is not in anticipation of an early move-out prior to the end of the Lease Term. Lessee shall pay all costs of removal. Lessee shall have no rights to property remaining in the Leased Premises after the Lease Expiration Date. Lessee may not remove any alterations as defined in paragraph 13.1 or improvements such as wall-to-wall carpeting, window blinds,

Lessee’s Name: Pain Therapeutics, Inc.		Lessor
Rev: 03/2009

built-in cabinets, paneling, counters, kitchen or breakroom built-ins, shelving, wall covering, and anything else attached to the floor, walls, or ceilings. If and only if Lessor requests in writing, no later than one month after Lessee vacates the Leased Premises, Lessee shall remove any alterations, fixtures, equipment, cabling, and other property installed by Lessee or Lessee’s contractors. Lessee shall pay for cleaning or repairing damage caused by Lessee’s removal of any property.

15.1 Subletting and Assignment.

(a) Lessee may not sublet, assign, pledge, or mortgage this Lease and may not grant licenses, commissions, or other rights of occupancy to all or any part of the Leased Premises without Lessor’s prior written approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lessee shall submit a copy of the proposed sublease and sublessee’s financials; and Lessor shall have 15 days to approve or not approve the sublease. If Lessor does not timely approve the sublease, it shall be deemed disapproved. Sublessee’s financial strength, reputation, personnel, and length of sublease or assignment shall be important factors in Lessor’s approval. Sale, transfer, or merger of the majority of the voting shares or voting partnership interests in Lessee (if a corporation or partnership) shall be considered an assignment; likewise for admission of a new general partner. However, if Lessor gives such approval, Lessor shall be entitled to (1) 50% of any excess between Lessee’s Rent per square foot under the Lease and the Rent per square foot under the sublease or assignment, and (2) 50% of any other consideration flowing directly or indirectly from the subletting or assignment of the Premises or a portion thereof . The foregoing is in consideration of additional management performed or to be performed by Lessor under such sublease or assignment. In addition to the foregoing, Lessor may charge Lessee a one-time administrative fee equal to $500 for such additional administrative, legal, investigative, and management services.

(b) Violation of this Lease by sublessees or assignees shall be deemed a violation by Lessee. Approval by Lessor of any sublease or assignment shall not release Lessee from any obligation under this Lease and shall not constitute approval for subsequent subletting or assignment. Sublessees or assignees shall be liable for all of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease unless otherwise specified in writing. Upon default by Lessee, any sublessee shall pay all sublease rentals and other sums due Lessor, direct to Lessor, to be credited against sums owed to Lessor by Lessee under this Lease. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, no sublease or assignment shall be valid unless (1) a copy of this Lease is attached thereto, (2) the sublessee or assignee agrees in writing to be liable for all of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease, and (3) Lessor’s written approval is attached to the sublease or assignment.

(c) At any time, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, release Lessee from further liability for all or any portion of the Leased Premises that has been subleased or assigned to a third party; and Lessor may terminate the Lease to the extent that it applies to such space. If the Lease or a portion of it is so terminated, Lessee shall remain liable for Rents and Building Operating Expenses accrued through the effective termination date, including any year-end adjustment of such expenses; and this obligation shall survive any termination or release unless it is expressly waived in the termination or release agreement.

16.1 Destruction by Fire or Other Casualty.

(a) Total destruction, Rent abatement, and restoration. If the Leased Premises is totally damaged by fire or other casualty so that it cannot reasonably be used by Lessee and if this Lease is not terminated as provided in subparagraph (d) below, there shall be a total abatement of Lessee’s Rent and Lessee’s obligation to pay Building Operating Expenses until the Leased Premises is restored by Lessor.

(b) Partial destruction, Rent abatement, and restoration. If the Leased Premises is partially destroyed or damaged by fire or other hazard so that it can be only partially used by Lessee for the purposes allowed in this Lease and if this Lease is not terminated as provided in subparagraph (d) below, there shall be a partial abatement of Lessee’s Rent and Lessee’s obligation to pay Building Operating Expenses which fairly and reasonably corresponds to the extent to which the Leased Premises cannot reasonably be used by Lessee for the normal conduct of its business, until such time as Leased Premise, access, building services, common areas and utilities are all in substantially the same condition in which they existed prior to the casualty.

(c) Restoration. Lessor’s obligation to restore shall be limited to the condition of the Leased Premises, to substantially the same condition in which the Leased Premises, access, building services, common areas and utilities existed prior to the casualty. Lessor shall proceed with diligence to restore. During restoration, Lessee may continue business to the extent practical in Lessee’s sole and reasonable judgment.

Page 11

Rev: 03/2009

(d) Lease termination. If the Leased Premises or the Building is so badly damaged that restoration and repairs cannot be completed to substantially the same condition in which the Leased Premises, access, building services, common areas and utilities existed prior to the casualty within three (3) months after the fire or casualty, then this Lease may be terminated as of the date of the destruction by either Lessor or Lessee by serving written notice upon the other. Termination notice must be delivered within one month after the casualty.

17.1 Condemnation.

If the Leased Premises, Building, or the Common Area or any material portion thereof, including any portion of the parking lot is taken by condemnation and if the Leased Premises is thereby reasonably rendered unusable for Lessee’s business use and activities, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date title vests in the condemning authority pursuant to such taking or acquisition; and Lessor and Lessee shall be relieved of all further obligations under this Lease. Lessor shall be entitled to recover from the condemning authority the full amount of Lessor’s interest in this Lease and in the property which is taken in condemnation; provided, however, if Lessee is not in default hereunder on the day of taking or acquisition by the condemning authority, Lessee shall be allowed to recover from the condemning authority, at Lessee’s own expense, Lessee’s trade fixtures, if any, which are taken in condemnation; but not otherwise. Lessee shall be responsible for Lessee’s own attorney’s fees and for proving its own damages.

18.1 Default by Lessor.

Lessee shall be entitled to recover actual damages if (1) Lessor fails to pay any sum due and owing to Lessee within seven (7) business days after written demand from Lessee, or (2) Lessor remains in default on any other obligation for seven (7) business days after Lessee’s written demand for performance. However, Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor promptly commences to cure such noncompliance and diligently proceeds in good faith to cure same after receiving written notice of such default. If taxes and utilities are not timely paid, Lessee may pay same to the extent that it is necessary to avert foreclosure or cutoff. If Lessor fails to perform any covenant, term or condition of this Lease that Lessor is obligated to perform and, as a consequence of such nonperformance, Lessee shall recover a money judgment against Lessor, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of Lessor’s equity in the property. Lessor shall have no liability whatsoever for any deficiency, and no other property or assets of Lessor shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures as a result of such judgment.

19.1 Default by Lessee.

If Lessee defaults, Lessor shall have any or all remedies set forth below.

(a) Definition of default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by Lessee: (1) failure to pay Rent or any other sum due by Lessee under this Lease within three (3) business days after written demand therefor by Lessor; (2) failure to vacate on or before the last day of the Lease Term, renewal term, or extension period; (3) failure to pay Rent in advance on a daily basis in the event of unlawful holdover by Lessee; (4) unauthorized early move-out or notice of same as set forth below; (5) acquisition of Lessee’s interest in the Lease by a third party by judicial or non-judicial process; or (6) failure to comply with any other provision of the Lease (including rules) if such failure to comply is not cured as soon as possible after delivery of written notice by Lessor to Lessee. However, Lessee shall not be in default under subclause six (6) above if Lessee promptly commences to cure such noncompliance and diligently proceeds in good faith to cure same after receiving written notice of such default and such default is completely cured within ten (10) business days of such written notice.

(b) Termination of possession. If Lessee is in default as defined in subparagraph (a) above and if Lessee remains in default for three (3) business days after Lessor gives notice of such default to Lessee, or if Lessee abandons the Leased Premises without prior written approval of Lessor, Lessor may (with or without demand for performance) terminate Lessee’s right of possession by giving one (1) day’s written notice to vacate; and Lessor shall be entitled to immediate possession without termination of Lessee’s obligations under the Lease. Lessor’s repossession shall not be considered an election to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention to terminate is given to Lessee by Lessor. Repossession may be by voluntary agreement or by eviction lawsuit. Commencement of an eviction lawsuit shall not preclude other Lessor remedies under this Lease or other laws.

(c) Reletting costs. If Lessee is in default under this Lease and if Lessor terminates Lessee’s right of possession without terminating this Lease and Lessee’s Leased Premises is released, Lessee shall pay upon Lessor’s written demand the following: (1) all costs of reletting (which in no event shall be less than one month’s Rent), including leasing commissions, Rent concessions (whether in the form of assuming or buying out lease remainders elsewhere, free Rent for a period of time, or reduced rental rates), utilities during the vacancy, advertising costs, administrative

Building Name: StoneCliff		Lessee
Lessee’s Name: Pain Therapeutics, Inc.		Lessor
Rev: 03/2009

overhead, and all costs of repair, remodeling, or redecorating for replacement tenants in the Leased Premises, (2) all Rent and other indebtedness due from Lessee to Lessor through the date of termination of Lessee’s right of possession, and (3) all Rent and other sums required to be paid by Lessee during the remainder of the entire Lease Term, subject to mitigation by Lessor described in subparagraph (d) below.

(d) Mitigation by Lessor. Upon eviction or voluntary vacation of the Leased Premises by Lessee without the Lease being terminated by Lessor, Lessor shall make reasonable efforts to relet the Leased Premises. After deduction of reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor, Lessee shall receive credit for any Rent received by Lessor through reletting the Leased Premises during the remainder of the Lease Term or renewal or extension period. Such deductible expenses may include real estate commissions, attorney’s fees, and all other expenses in connection with reletting. Lawsuit to collect amounts due by Lessee under this Lease may be brought from time to time on one or more occasions without the necessity of Lessor’s waiting until the expiration of the Lease Term. If judgment for accelerated Rents is recovered, Lessor shall give credit against such judgment for subsequent payments made by Lessee and subsequent Rent received by Lessor from other tenants of the Leased Premises, less lawful deductions and expenses of reletting.

(e) Termination of Lease. Lessor may terminate this Lease (as contrasted to termination of possession rights only) upon default by Lessee or at any time after Lessor’s lawful re-entry or repossession following default by Lessee. Lessor’s agents have authority to terminate the Lease only by written notice given pursuant to paragraph 29.1. After termination, Lessee shall remain liable to Lessor for all sums accruing and unpaid prior to termination and any year-end adjustments of Building Operating Expense, prorated through the date of termination.

(f) Damages. In addition to other remedies, Lessor may recover actual damages incurred.

20.1 Lien for Rent.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessor’s landlord lien shall be subordinate to any existing security interest and any future purchase money security interests on Lessee’s personal property if such security interest is properly perfected and timely recorded as required by the Texas Business and Commerce Code. Lessor shall cooperate in signing lien subordinations in accordance with the foregoing. Any lien subordination shall be on forms reasonably acceptable to Lessor.

(b) Subject to the limitations of subparagraph (a) above, Lessee gives to Lessor a contractual lien on all of Lessee’s real property which may be found on the Leased Premises to secure payment of all monies and damages owed by Lessee under the Lease. Such lien also covers all insurance proceeds on such property. Lessee shall not remove such real property while Rent or other sums remain due and unpaid to Lessor and such property shall not be removed until all Lessee’s obligations under the Lease have been complied with. This lien is in addition to Lessor’s statutory lien under Section 54.021 of the Texas Property Code. If Lessee is in default for nonpayment of Rent or any other sums due by Lessee, Lessor’s representatives may peacefully enter the Leased Premises and remove and store all property. If Lessor removes any property under this lien, Lessor shall leave the following information in a conspicuous place inside the Leased Premises: (1) written notice of exercise of lien, (2) a list of items removed, (3) the name of Lessor’s representative who removed such items, and (4) the date of such removal. Lessor shall be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable charges for packing, removing, or storing abandoned or seized property, and may sell same at public or private sale (subject to any properly recorded chattel mortgage or recorded financing statement) after one month’s written notice of time and place of sale is given to Lessee by certified mail, return receipt requested.

21.1 Attorney’s Fees, Interest, and Other Expenses.

If Lessee or Lessor is in default and if the non-defaulting party places the Lease in the hands of an attorney in order to enforce lease rights or remedies, the non-defaulting party may recover reasonable attorney’s fees from the defaulting party even if suit has not been filed. In any lawsuit enforcing lease rights, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees from the non-prevailing party, plus all out-of-pocket expenses. Trial shall be to judge only. All delinquent sums due by Lessor or Lessee shall bear interest at the maximum lawful rate of interest, compounded annually, from date of default until paid, plus any Late Charges. Late Charges shall be considered reasonable liquidated damages for the time, trouble, inconvenience, and administrative overhead expense incurred by Lessor in collecting late Rent, such elements of damages being uncertain and difficult to ascertain. Late Charges shall not be liquidated damages for attorney’s fees or for Lessor’s loss of use of such funds during the time of delinquency. Whenever Lessee requests Lessor to take any action or give any consent required or permitted under this Lease, Lessee will reimburse Lessor for Lessor’s reasonable costs incurred in reviewing the

Page 13


Building Name: StoneCliff		Lessee
Lessee’s Name: Pain Therapeutics, Inc.		Lessor
Rev: 03/2009

proposed action or consent, including reasonable attorneys’, engineers’, or architects’ fees, within 10 days after Lessor’s delivery to Lessee of a statement of such costs. Lessee will be obligated to make such reimbursement without regard to whether Lessor consents to any such proposed action.

22.1 Nonwaiver.

The acceptance of monies past due or the failure to complain of any action, non-action, delayed payment, or default, whether singular or repetitive, shall not constitute a waiver of rights or obligations under the Lease. Lessor’s or Lessee’s waiver of any right or any default shall not constitute waiver of other rights, violations, defaults, or subsequent rights, violations, or defaults under this Lease. No act or omission by Lessor or Lessor’s agents shall be deemed an acceptance or surrender of the Leased Premises, and no agreement by Lessor to accept a surrender of the Leased Premises shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by a duly authorized agent of Lessor.

23.1 Building Rules.

Lessee will comply with Lessor’s rules for the Building which are attached as Exhibit F-2. The rules are subject to reasonable change if the changes are applicable to all tenants of the Building and notice has been reasonably provided. Separate parking rules are contained in paragraph F-1. Lessee agrees to provide a copy of the Building Rules (Exhibit F-2) to each of Lessee’s employees.

24.1 Transfer of Ownership by Lessor.

If Lessor transfers ownership of the Building (other than as security for a mortgage) and if Lessor has delivered to the transferee all of Lessee’s Security Deposits and any prepaid Rents, Lessor shall be released from all liability under the Lease; and such transferee shall become liable as Lessor. Such right to be released of liability shall accrue to subsequent owners only if such transfer is in good faith and for consideration.

25.1 Mortgages.

Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessee shall subordinate and attorn to mortgage liens now or hereafter on the Building. Lessee agrees to execute, from time to time, documentation therefore which is necessary in the reasonable judgment of Lessor. This Lease shall be subordinate to all existing and future mortgages. However, such mortgagees may at any time subordinate their lien to this Lease by filing a subordination notice in the county real property records without necessity of notice to Lessee. Lessee waives and holds any mortgagee or holder of a security interest harmless from all claims of Lessee against Lessor arising prior to such mortgagee succeeding to the Lessor’s ownership interest in the property.

If requested in writing by Lessor, Lessee shall not seek to enforce any remedy it may have for any default on the part of Lessor without first giving written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, specifying the default in reasonable detail, to any Lessor’s Mortgagee (defined as the mortgagee under any such mortgage) whose address has been given to Lessee, and affording such Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to perform Lessor’s obligations under this Lease.

26.1 Surrender of Leased Premises.

Upon expiration or early termination of this Lease, Lessee shall surrender the Leased Premises in the same condition as on the date of Lease Commencement by Lessee (as changed or improved from time to time in accordance with this Lease), less ordinary wear and tear from ordinary use Removal of property from the Leased Premises is subject to paragraph 14.1. Upon surrender, Lessee must provide Lessor with all of Lessee’s keys and access cards to the Building and Leased Premises and the combination to all safes and vaults, if any in the Leased Premises. Lessor may charge Lessee for any lost keys and access cards not surrendered at lease expiration.

27.1 Holding Over.

If Lessee remains in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration or mutually-agreed termination date of the Lease, without the execution by Lessor and Lessee of a new Lease or a renewal or extension of the Lease, then (1) Lessee shall be deemed to be occupying the Leased Premises as a tenant-at-sufferance on a daily basis, subject to all obligations of the Lease, (2) Lessee shall pay Rent for the entire holdover period at the rate of 150% of the then-current rental rate under this Lease or 150% of the then-current market rental rate for the space as reasonable determined by Lessor, whichever is greater, (3) Lessee shall be subject to all other remedies of Lessor as provided in paragraph 19.1, (4) Lessee shall indemnify Lessor and/or prospective tenants for damages, including lost rentals, storage expenses, and attorney’s fees, and (5) at Lessor’s sole option, Lessee may extend the Lease Term for a period of one month at the rate of 150% of the then-current rental rate under this Lease or 150% of the then-current market rental rate for the space as reasonably determined by Lessor, whichever is greater, by giving written notice to Lessee or to the Leased Premises while Lessee is holding over.

The form in Exhibit G may be changed as reasonably required by a prospective purchaser or lender.

materials, linoleum, floor tiles and plaster.

Building Operating Expense Pass-Thru Calculations

(see paragraph 2.1 of Lease)

(a) “ESTIMATED” PRO RATA SHARE BUILDING OPERATING EXPENSES. On or before the beginning of each calendar year, Lessor shall calculate the estimated Building Operating Expenses for the upcoming calendar year, according to the criteria in subparagraph (c) below. One-twelfth of Lessee’s Pro Rata Share of estimated Building Operating Expenses which are in excess of any Expense Stop shall be due on the first of each month as “Pass-Thru Rent”.

(b) YEAR-END ADJUSTMENT FOR OVERPAYMENT OR UNDERPAYMENT BY LESSEE BECAUSE OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN “ESTIMATED” AND “ACTUAL” BUILDING OPERATING EXPENSES. After each calendar year of the Lease Term and renewal or extension periods, Lessor shall determine the actual Building Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year. If it is then determined that actual Building Operating Expenses were less than estimated expenses and that Lessee’s monthly payments of estimated expenses over Lessee’s Expense Stop figure were too much, Lessor shall promptly credit to Lessee the excess amount paid by Lessee in the form of Rent credit or refund the amount if the Lease has expired and Lessee has vacated the Leased Premises and provided a forwarding address to Lessor. If it is determined that actual Building Operating Expenses were more than estimated expenses and that Lessee’s monthly payments of estimated expenses over Lessee’s Expense Stop figure were insufficient, Lessor shall invoice Lessee for the amount of Lessee’s underpayment. Payment thereof shall be due upon delivery of invoice to Lessee. Payment may be made prior to or with the next scheduled Rent payment occurring at least ten (10) days after the invoice date, but not later. The foregoing calculations and adjustments may also be made one or more times during the calendar year, at Lessor’s option.

(c) DEFINITION OF BUILDING OPERATING EXPENSES. Building Operating Expenses for each calendar year shall include: all ad valorem taxes, assessments and related government charges becoming due on the Building and personal property used in operation of the Building in such period; utilities; insurance premiums for fire, extended coverage, vandalism, and liability on the Building and personal property used in Building management; interior and exterior landscape expenses; janitorial expenses; window cleaning; supplies; painting, roof repairs, window replacement, and other maintenance expenses; licenses; permits; advertising; management and maintenance salaries and bonuses; payroll taxes; management office overhead and management fees; and all other managerial, administrative and operating expenses which are reasonably related to the operation of the Building and utilities serving same. No such category shall include more than 12 months’ worth of expenses. Building Operating Expenses shall also include the following improvements if amortized over the useful life of such improvements together with interest at 8% per annum on the unamortized cost: (i) improvements which or are designed to reduce Building Operating Expenses, (ii) improvements or modifications required by governmental agencies following completion of the Building, and (iii) improvements to the Common Areas of the Building, including but not limited to carpeting, floor covering, draperies and wall coverings. Building Operating Expenses shall be calculated on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. The word “Building” as referred to above shall include the Building, parking areas, parking garage (if any), and Common Areas.

Building Operating Expenses shall not include: principal and interest payments on mortgages; depreciation or improvements which IRS requires to be depreciated (except as provided above); expenses of repairing damage of the type normally covered by fire, vandalism, flood, and EC insurance; any expense paid or reimbursed from insurance proceeds; costs of repairing damage for which Lessor is entitled to reimbursement from others; remodeling costs for new or existing tenants; Common Area improvements or personal property required by other tenants to be made, purchased, or furnished to such tenants; utility and air conditioning or heating costs or other expenses which are separately billed to specific tenants; leasing commissions; expenses of marketing vacant space in the Building; legal fees; structural repairs to roof, foundation, and walls; asbestos removal; and installation of new sprinklers, fire alarms, and smoke detector systems.

If utilities and taxes included in “Building Operating Expenses” are not payable, billed or otherwise due so as to allow an accurate calculation of said factors annually, then Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, may estimate and prorate said expenses on an annual basis, and said factors shall be properly adjusted by Lessor when they actually become due and payable. Otherwise, expenses must be supported by invoices and actually paid. Notwithstanding anything is this subsection (c) of this Exhibit, if the present method of taxation changes so that in lieu of the whole or any part of any Taxes levied on the Building, there is levied on Lessor a capital tax directly on the Rents received

therefrom or a franchise tax, assessment, or a charge based, in whole or in part, upon such Rents (including but not limited to the tax imposed pursuant to the 2006 amendments to the Texas Tax Code, Chapter 171, and all subsequent legislation altering, or modifying such amendments, pertaining to certain franchise, margin, revenue, or income taxes, imposed on any entity pursuant to such legislation), then all such taxes, assessments, or charges, or the part thereof so based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “Taxes” hereof.

(d) DEFINITION OF PRO RATA SHARE. Lessee’s Pro Rata Share of estimated and actual Building Operating Expenses is specified in Basic Lease Summary #4.

(e) PERCENTAGE OF BUILDING OCCUPIED. 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 Operating Costs for such period shall, for the purposes of calculating Building Operating Expenses, be increased to the amount which would have been incurred if the Rentable Area of the Building had been 95% occupied for the entire year.

(f) DELAY IN IMPLEMENTATION. At Lessor’s option, adjustments may be delayed. Lessor’s delay in implementing such adjustments shall not waive Lessor’s right thereto, and the most recent monthly rental figures shall continue to be paid during such delay. If Lessor delays in timely calculating adjustments, such adjustments shall be retroactive to the respective date on which Lessor had a right to make such adjustment; and such delayed Rent adjustments shall become due upon written notice to Lessee.

(g) EXAMINATION OF RECORDS. Provided Lessee has paid all Rent, Pass Thru Rent and other amounts of every kind due and unpaid under this Lease, upon reasonable notice to Lessor in writing, Lessee may, at Lessee’s sole expense, examine or audit Lessor’s invoices and statements related to Building Operating Expenses for the year immediately preceding, such review to be conducted at the place where such invoices and statements are customarily maintained by Lessor. Examination or audit of Building Operating Expenses for a particular year must be completed no later than four (4) months after Lessee’s receipt of a reconciliation notice or statement of Building Operating Expenses for that year. If not examined or audited within the four (4) month period, such reconciliation shall be deemed as accepted and agreed to by all parties. Lessee and Lessee’s agents and employees shall keep confidential all results of the audit. If Lessee objects to Lessor’s accounting of any Building Operating Expenses, Lessee shall, within 30 days after the completion of Lessee’s audit, notify Lessor that Lessee disputes the correctness of such accounting, specifying the particular line items which Lessee claims are incorrect. If such dispute has not been settled by agreement within 30 days thereafter, either party may submit the dispute to arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on Lessor and Lessee and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

LESSEE AGREES TO PROVIDE A COPY OF THESE RULES TO EVERY EMPLOYEE

It is the desire of Lessor to maintain in the Building the highest standard of dignity and good taste consistent with comfort and convenience for all tenants. Any action or condition not meeting this high standard should be reported directly to the Lessor. Cooperation by all Lessees will be sincerely appreciated. The following rules and regulations apply to all Lessees in the Building and their agents, employees, family, licensees, invitees, visitors, and contractors unless otherwise stated. Pursuant to paragraph 23.1 of the Lease, Lessor reserves the right to rescind these rules, make reasonable modification thereto, and make other reasonable rules and regulations for the safety, care, and cleanliness of the Building and for the preservation of good order.

All such movement and delivery shall be under the supervision of the Lessor and carried out in a manner agreed between Lessee and the Lessor, by prearrangement. Prearrangement shall include time, method, routing, and any limitations imposed for reasons of safety or non-disturbance of others.

Lessee shall not change, alter, or replace locks provided by Lessor on doors in the Building, except with written permission of the Lessor. All necessary keys shall be furnished by Lessor, and Lessor shall be entitled to have a key for every door in the Leased Premises. Lessee shall surrender all keys upon termination of Lessee’s right of occupancy; and at such time, Lessee shall give Lessor the combination to all vaults or combination locks remaining in the Leased Premises after surrender by Lessee.

4. SAFES. Safes and other heavy articles shall be carried onto the Leased Premises only at such times and in such manner as prescribed by Lessor. Lessor shall have the right to specify weight limitations and positioning of safes or other heavy articles.

Lessee’s Acknowledgment of Receipt of Broker’s Agency Disclosure

Approved by the Texas Real Estate Commission for Voluntary Use

Texas law requires all real estate licensees to give the following information

about brokerage services to prospective buyers, tenants, sellers and landlords.

Information About Brokerage Services

Before working with a real estate broker, you should know that the duties of a broker depend on whom the broker represents. If you are as prospective seller or landlord (owner) or a prospective buyer or tenant (buyer), you should know that the broker who lists the property for sale or lease is the owner’s agent. A broker who acts as a subagent represents the owner in cooperation with the listing broker. A broker who acts as a buyer’s agent represents the buyer. A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the parties consent in writing. A broker can assist you in locating a property, preparing a contract or lease, or obtaining financing without representing you. A broker is obligated by law to treat you honestly.

IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE OWNER:

The broker becomes the owner’s agent by entering into an agreement with the owner, usually through a written listing agreement, or by agreeing to act as a subagent by accepting an offer of subagency from the listing broker. A subagent may work in a different real estate office. A listing broker or subagent can assist the buyer but does not represent the buyer and must place the interests of the owner first. The buyer should not tell the owner’s agent anything the buyer would not want the owner to know because an owner’s agent must disclose to the owner any material information known to the agent.

IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE BUYER:

The broker becomes the buyer’s agent by entering into an agreement to represent the buyer, usually through a written buyer representation agreement. A buyer’s agent can assist the owner but does not represent the owner and must place the interests of the buyer first. The owner should not tell a buyer’s agent anything the owner would not want the buyer to know because a buyer’s agent must disclose to the buyer any material information known to the agent.

IF THE BROKER ACTS AS AN INTERMEDIARY:

A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the broker complies with The Texas Real Estate License Act. The broker must obtain the written consent of each party to the transaction to act as an intermediary. The written consent must state who will pay the broker and, in conspicuous bold or underlined print, set forth the broker’s obligations as an intermediary. The broker is required to treat each party honestly and fairly and to comply with The Texas Real Estate License Act. A broker who acts as an intermediary in a transaction:

(1) shall treat all parties honestly;

(2) may not disclose that the owner will accept a price less than the asking price unless authorized in writing to do so by the owner;

(3) may not disclose that the buyer will pay a price greater than the price submitted in a written offer unless authorized in writing to do so by the buyer; and

(4) may not disclose any confidential information or any information that a party specifically instructs the broker in writing not to disclose unless authorized in writing to disclose the information or required to do so by The Texas Real Estate License Act or a court order or if the information materially relates to the condition of the property.

With the parties’ consent, a broker acting as an intermediary between the parties may appoint a person who is licensed under The Texas Real Estate License Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and carry out instruction so one party and another person who is licensed under that Act and associated with the broker to communicate with an carry out instruction of the other party.

If you choose to have a broker represent you,

you should enter into a written agreement with the broker that clearly establishes the broker’s obligations and your obligations. The agreement should state how and by whom the broker will be paid. You have the right to choose the type of representation, if any, you wish to receive. Your payment of a fee to a broker does not necessarily establish that the broker represents you. If you have any questions regarding the duties and responsibilities of the broker, you should resolve those questions before proceeding.


Real estate licensee asks that you acknowledge receipt of this information about brokerage services for the licensee’s records.
