Exhibit A-1
to
Addendum to Commercial Lease
RENEWAL OPTION
(a) Provided that this Lease is in full force and effect as of the date of the Renewal Notice (as such term is hereinafter defined), and (ii) Tenant shall not be in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period under this Lease, Tenant shall have one (1) option to extend the term of this Lease for an additional term of five (5) years (the “Renewal Term”). Tenant’s option with respect to the Renewal Term shall be exercisable by written notice (the “Renewal Notice”) to Landlord given not less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the term of this Lease. The Renewal Term shall constitute an extension of the term of this Lease and shall be upon all of the same terms and conditions as the initial Term, except that (i) there shall be no further option to renew the term of the Lease, and (ii) the base monthly rent for the Renewal Term shall be as determined pursuant to the provisions below, and shall commence on the first day of the Renewal Term.
(b) The base monthly rent for the Leased Premises for the Renewal Term shall be the Fair Market Rent, provided, in no event shall the Fair Market Rent by more than 110%, nor less than 90%, of the base monthly rent payable during the initial term of this Lease. “Fair Market Rent” means the base rent for comparable space in Class “A” buildings in the Friendswood, Texas area that a willing lessee would pay and a willing lessor would accept for the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term, taking into account all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, lease takeovers/assumptions; relocation/moving allowances; space planning/interior architecture and engineering allowances; refurbishment and repainting allowances; club memberships; other concessions or inducements; extent of services provided or to be provided; distinction between "gross" and "net" lease; base year or dollar amount for escalation purposes (both operating and ad valorem/real estate taxes); any other adjustments (including by way of indexes) to base rental; credit standing and financial stature of the tenant; term or length of lease; the time the particular rental rate under consideration was agreed upon and became or is to become effective; the payment of a leasing commission and/or fees/bonuses in lieu thereof, whether to Landlord, any person or entity affiliated with Landlord, or otherwise.
(c) If Tenant timely exercises the Renewal Option pursuant to this Exhibit, Landlord shall notify Tenant (the “Rent Notice”) within 30 days of Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option, if applicable, of the Fair Market Rent during such Renewal Term (“Landlord’s Determination”). Tenant shall notify Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice”), within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of the Rent Notice, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section (c), whether Tenant accepts or disputes Landlord’s Determination, and if Tenant disputes Landlord’s Determination, Tenant’s Notice shall set forth Tenant’s determination (“Tenant’s Determination”) of the Fair Market Rent during the applicable Renewal Term. If Tenant fails to give Tenant’s Notice within such 30-day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have timely accepted Landlord’s Determination.
(d) If Tenant timely disputes Landlord’s Determination, and Landlord and Tenant fail to agree as to the Fair Market Rent within 30 days after the giving of the earlier of Tenant's Notice or Tenant’s Determination (the “Negotiation Period”), then Tenant may, by providing Landlord written notice no later than the expiration of the Negotiation Period, elect to (i) retract its Renewal Notice and not exercise the renewal option set forth in this Exhibit, in which case such renewal option shall become null and void (the “Retraction Notice”), or (ii) elect to proceed with exercising the renewal option set forth in this Exhibit, in which case the Fair Market Rent shall be determined by arbitration as set forth in this paragraph (the “Arbitration Notice”). In the event Tenant fails to provide Landlord with the Retraction Notice or Arbitration Notice prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period, Tenant shall be deemed to have retracted its Renewal Notice and elected not to exercise the renewal option set forth in this Exhibit, in which case such renewal option shall become null and void. In the event Tenant timely delivers the Arbitration Notice to Landlord, Fair Market Rent shall be determined as follows: A senior officer of a recognized Houston, Texas leasing brokerage firm (the “Baseball Arbitrator”) shall be selected and paid for jointly by Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Baseball Arbitrator, then the same shall be designated by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The Baseball Arbitrator selected by the parties or designated by the AAA shall have at least ten years’ experience in (i) the leasing of first-class office space in the Friendswood, Texas area, or (ii) the appraisal of Class “A” office buildings in the Friendswood, Texas area. Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the Baseball Arbitrator and to the other Landlord’s Determination and Tenant’s Determination of the Fair Market Rent of the Leased Premises. The Baseball Arbitrator shall determine which of the two rent determinations more closely represents the Fair Market Rent of the Leased Premises for the Renewal Term. The Baseball Arbitrator may not select any other rental value for the Leased Premises other than one submitted by Landlord or Tenant. The determination of the party so selected or designated shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and shall serve as the basis for the determination of the base monthly rent payable for the Renewal Term,
Addendum to Commercial Lease | Page 6 |
subject to further adjustment as provided in the Lease. After a determination has been made of the Fair Market Rent, the parties shall execute and deliver an instrument setting forth the Fair Market Rent, but the failure to so execute and deliver any such instrument shall not affect the determination of Fair Market Rent.
(e) If Tenant disputes Landlord’s Determination and if the final determination of Fair Market Rent shall not be made on or before the first day of the Renewal Term then, pending such final determination, Tenant shall pay, as base monthly rent for the Renewal Term, an amount equal to Landlord’s Determination. If, based upon the final determination of the Fair Market Rent, the base monthly rent payments made by Tenant for such portion of the Renewal Term were (i) less than the Fair Market Rent payable for the Renewal Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency within 20 days after demand therefor or (ii) greater than the Fair Market Rent payable for the Renewal Term, Landlord shall refund the excess within 20 days after such determination.

Exhibit A-2
to
Addendum to Commercial Lease
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
(a) Subject to and upon the terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Exhibit, so long as Tenant is not in default of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and/or cure period, Tenant shall have, and is hereby granted, a continuing right of first refusal to lease (the “Right of First Refusal”) all or any portion of the portion of the remainder of the third (3rd) floor of the Building (the “ROFR Premises”), during the Term of the Lease which becomes Available. As used herein, the term “Available” means, as to any space, that such space is vacant and free of any present or future possessory right now or, to the extent specified in section (e) below, hereafter existing in favor of any third party.
(b) Should a third party make an offer to lease the ROFR Premises which Landlord is willing to accept, Landlord shall promptly deliver to Tenant written notice indicating the relevant terms and conditions of such third -party offer (the “Lease Proposal”). If the ROFR Leased Premises is the subject of lease negotiations which include other portions of the Building, the foregoing Right of First Refusal shall, at Landlord’s option, apply to the entire space which is subject to such negotiations, and, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall be obligated to either accept or refuse the opportunity to lease such entire space on the terms provided in the Lease Proposal, except that the term with respect to the ROFR Premises shall be co-terminus with the term of the Lease and the economic components of the third party proposal which are amortized over the term shall be adjusted to account for the difference between the term of the third party offer and the remaining term of the Lease. In the event that the term of this Lease is longer than the third-party offer, then the base monthly rent, at Landlord’s option, for such additional period shall be the Fair Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit G) determined at the time such third-party offer would have otherwise expired. Tenant shall have a period of five (5) business days after receipt of a Lease Proposal to irrevocably and unconditionally exercise its Right of First Refusal to lease the entire ROFR Premises (and such additional space, if applicable). Such exercise must be in writing and received by the Landlord within such five (5) business day period. If Landlord fails to receive written notice of the Tenant’s exercise of its Right of First Refusal within such five (5) business day period then Tenant shall be deemed to not have timely exercised such right.
(c) In the event that Tenant exercises this Right of First Refusal, Tenant will execute and return to Landlord an amendment to this Lease adding the ROFR Premises or such other documentation as Landlord shall reasonably require in order to confirm the leasing of such ROFR Premises (but an otherwise valid exercise of the Right of First Refusal shall be fully effective whether or not such confirmatory documentation is executed) within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s receipt of such documentation.
(d) If Landlord does not receive written notice from Tenant of its exercise of this Right of First Refusal within the five (5) business day period referenced in subparagraph (b) above, Landlord shall have a period of up to two hundred seventy (270) days thereafter to lease the ROFR Premises for an effective rental rate not less than ninety percent (90%) of the rental rate reflected in the Lease Proposal (on a net effective basis taking into account all economic components of the transaction). If Landlord does not lease the ROFR Premises within said two hundred seventy (270) day period or proposes to lease the ROFR Premises for an effective rental rate of less than ninety percent (90%) of the effective rental rate reflected in the Lease Proposal, the Right of First Refusal shall then reapply on any subsequent leasing thereof on the terms set forth herein.
(e) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Right of First Refusal is subject and subordinate to (a) any pre-existing preferential right, refusal right, expansion right or related right of any other tenant in the Building, (b) any and all preferential rights, expansion options, refusal rights pertaining to the ROFR Premises, and (c) the right to renew the lease of any existing tenant of the ROFR Premises, whether by formal renewal option or otherwise.
(f) Except as otherwise provided in the Lease Proposal, Landlord shall deliver, and Tenant shall accept, the ROFR Premises broom-clean and vacuumed but otherwise in an “AS IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” condition. The term of this Lease with respect to the ROFR Premises shall commence upon such space being delivered to Tenant and shall expire on the Expiration Date. Rent will accrue and be due and payable with respect to the ROFR Premises on the date (the “ROFR Premises Commencement Date”) that is consistent with the Lease Proposal.
(g) Upon request of Landlord at any time after the ROFR Premises Commencement Date, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a declaration (in a form provided by Landlord) specifying (i) the ROFR Premises Commencement Date, (ii) the base monthly rent schedule for the ROFR Premises, (iii) the Rentable Area of the ROFR Premises, and (iv) Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses with respect to the ROFR Premises.
