EXHIBIT “A” SUITE 200 (20,995)





EXHIBIT “B”

THIRD AMENDMENT WORK

This Exhibit sets forth the respective obligations of, and the procedures to be followed by, Landlord and Tenant in the design and construction of the Third Amendment Work.

1.The Third Amendment Work.

The “Third Amendment Work” will consist of leasehold improvements to the Premises to be constructed pursuant to plans and specifications to be mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant (“Preliminary Plan”).

A.From the Preliminary Plan, Tenant will cause its architects and/or engineers, to prepare any required engineering and architectural drawings and specifications (all such engineering and architectural drawings and specifications are referred to collectively as the “Preliminary Working Drawings”), and will submit the same to Landlord for Landlord’s written approval. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold approval of the Preliminary Working Drawings. Failure by Landlord to deliver written objections to Tenant within five (5) business days after receipt of the Preliminary Working Drawings will be deemed to be approval of same. Any disapproval by Landlord must include specific suggestions for making the same acceptable. If Landlord disapproves the Preliminary Working Drawings, Tenant will have the Preliminary Working Drawings revised to incorporate Landlord’s reasonable suggestions and objections, which suggestions and objections will be binding upon Landlord and may be relied upon by Tenant in revising the Preliminary Working Drawings; provided, however Landlord shall not be responsible for any errors or omissions made by Tenant or its architect with respect to the Preliminary Working Drawings, or any subsequent revisions thereto. The Preliminary Working Drawings which are approved in the foregoing manner will become Final Working Drawings. Landlord shall provide a test fit plan allowance of $[***] per square foot of Rentable Space of the Premises (the “Test Fit Allowance”) to be used solely for the actual costs charged by the architect for the initial test fit. In the event the costs of the test fit plan are in excess of the Test Fit Allowance, then such costs and expenses shall be deducted from Third Amendment Tenant’s Allowance or otherwise borne by Tenant.

B.Prior to the commencement of construction of the Third Amendment Work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with an acceptable certificate of insurance meeting Landlord’s insurance requirements. Tenant will provide Landlord with a construction schedule for the Third Amendment Work within ten (10) business days after approval of the Final Working Drawings, and Tenant will not commence construction of the Third Amendment Work until the Final Working Drawings have been approved as set forth in Section 1.A above and Tenant has provided Landlord with an acceptable certificate of insurance.

C.Landlord will pay all costs and fees incurred in connection with preparation of the Final Plan and Preliminary and Final Working Drawings needed to implement the Third Amendment Work and construction of the leasehold improvements as described in the Final Working Drawings up to a cost of $35.00 per square foot of Rentable Space of the Premises (which cost shall include a construction management fee of 3% of all hard construction costs if Landlord manages the Third Amendment Work and of 2% of all hard construction costs if Tenant manages the Third Amendment Work ) (the “Third Amendment Tenant’s Allowance”). Tenant will pay all costs and fees incurred in connection with preparation of plans and working drawings or construction resulting from a change requested by Tenant and any amount in excess of the Third Amendment Tenant’s Allowance incurred by Landlord in connection with the design and construction of the Third Amendment Work (collectively, “Tenant's Cost”). Tenant's Cost hereunder will be deemed Additional Rent under the Lease. The Third Amendment Tenant’s Allowance obligation of Landlord under this 1.C. shall be applied by Tenant towards the Third Amendment Work within two hundred and seventy (270) days after the Third Amendment Effective Date or be forfeited with no further obligation on the part of Landlord.




D.In addition, and provided there are sufficient funds available in the Third Amendment Tenant’s Allowance, Tenant may utilize up to fifteen percent (15%) of the Third Amendment Tenant’s Allowance towards the cost of furniture, fixtures, and equipment which are not permanently attached to the Property or the Building (including, but not limited to, tenant signage, security systems, cabling and telephone/telecom/communications equipment) (“FF&E Costs”). Subject to the foregoing limitation, in the event that Tenant elects to use the foregoing for the payment of FF&E Costs, Landlord will pay such FF&E Costs within thirty (30) days after receipt from Tenant of third-party invoices therefor. Subject to the foregoing regarding the FF&E Costs, the Third Amendment Tenant’s Allowance shall not be used for (and Landlord shall have no obligation to use or advance any portion of the Third Amendment Tenant’s Allowance for): (i) the cost of furniture, fixtures or equipment which are not permanently attached to the Property or the Building (including, but not limited to, tenant signage, security systems, cabling and telephone/telecom/communications equipment), (ii) permit fees or power upgrades, or (iii) non-Building standard items.

2.Substantial Completion. Landlord will be deemed to have “substantially completed” the Third Amendment Work for the purposes thereof if Landlord has caused all of the Third Amendment Work to be completed substantially except for so called “punchlist items,” e.g., minor details of construction or decoration or mechanical adjustments which do not substantially interfere with Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Premises to be made by Tenant. If there is any dispute as to whether Landlord has substantially completed the Third Amendment Work, the receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Fort Worth will dictate Substantial Completion.

3.Construction. Tenant and Tenant’s architect will be solely responsible for determining whether or not Tenant is a public accommodation under The Americans with Disabilities Act and Texas Architectural Barriers Act and whether or not the Final Working Drawings comply with such laws and the regulations thereunder for the Premises, and Landlord shall be solely responsible for such determinations regarding any building common areas.

4.Liability. Landlord does not guarantee or warrant the Third Amendment Work and Landlord will have no liability therefore, except to the extent the liability is caused by the Landlord’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. In the event of such errors, omissions, or defects, Landlord will cooperate in any action Tenant desires to bring against such parties.

5.Incorporation Into Lease: Default.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED BY THIS REFERENCE INTO THE LEASE (AS AMENDED BY THE THIRD AMENDMENT) FULLY AS THOUGH SET FORTH THEREIN. In the event of any express inconsistencies between the Lease (as amended by the Third Amendment) and this Exhibit, the latter will govern and control. Any default by Tenant hereunder will constitute a default by Tenant under the Lease (as amended by the Third Amendment) and Tenant will be subject to the remedies and other provisions applicable thereto under the Lease (as amended by the Third Amendment).

EXHIBIT “D”
RENEWAL OPTION

Provided that no then-uncured Event of Default, assignment or sublease has occurred under any term or provision contained in this Lease and no condition exists which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default pursuant to this Lease, and provided that Tenant has continuously occupied the Premises for the Permitted Use during the Third Amendment Extension Term, Tenant (but not any assignee or sublessee) shall have the right and option (the “Renewal Option”) to renew this Lease, by written notice delivered to Landlord no later than nine (9) months and no more than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the then-current Lease Term for two (2) additional terms (each a “Renewal Term”) of five (5) years each, under the same terms, conditions and covenants contained in this Lease, except that (a) no abatements or other concessions, if any, applicable to the then-current Lease Term shall apply to the Renewal Term; (b) the Base Rent shall be equal to the then current market rate for comparable office leases in the West- Southwest Fort Worth submarket area as determined by Landlord, taking into account concessions, allowances and other inducements common in the market at that time for comparable tenants entering into new leases for new (i.e., not renewal) space in comparable buildings; (c) Tenant shall have no option to renew this Lease beyond the expiration of the Renewal Term, and (d) all leasehold improvements within the Premises shall be provided in their then existing condition (on an “As Is” basis) at the time the each Renewal Term commences.

Failure by Tenant to notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s election to exercise the Renewal Option herein granted within the time limits set forth for such exercise shall constitute a waiver of such Renewal Option. In the event Tenant elects to exercise the Renewal Option as set forth above, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, notify Tenant in writing of the proposed rental for the applicable Renewal Term (the “Proposed Renewal Rental”). Tenant shall within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Proposed Renewal Rental by Landlord notify Landlord in writing of the acceptance or rejection of the Proposed Renewal Rental. If Tenant accepts Landlord’s proposal, then the Proposed Renewal Rental shall be the rental rate in effect during the applicable Renewal Term.

Should Tenant reject Landlord’s Proposed Renewal Rental during such thirty (30) day period, then Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate during the thirty (30) day period commencing upon Tenant’s rejection of Landlord’s Proposed Renewal Rental to determine the rental for the Renewal Term. In the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree to a rental for the Renewal Term during said thirty (30) day period, then the Renewal Option shall terminate and be null and void and this Lease shall, pursuant to its terms and provisions, terminate at the end of the original Lease Term.

Upon exercise of each Renewal Option by Tenant and subject to the conditions set forth herein above, this Lease shall be extended for the period of such Renewal Term without the necessity of the execution of any further instrument or document, although if requested by either party, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written agreement modifying and supplementing this Lease in accordance with the provisions hereof. Any termination of this Lease during the initial Lease Term shall terminate all renewal rights hereunder. The renewal rights of Tenant hereunder shall not be severable from this Lease, nor may such rights be assigned or otherwise conveyed in connection with any permitted assignment of this Lease. Landlord’s consent to any assignment of this Lease shall not be construed as allowing an assignment of such rights to any assignee.





As a condition to Tenant executing a lease or amendment under this Exhibit, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord complete current financial statements of Tenant and any guarantors. Landlord shall have the right to review such financial statements. If Landlord is not satisfied, in its discretion, that Tenant has sufficient liquidity and ability to perform its obligations under this Lease during the Renewal Term, then Landlord shall so inform Tenant and the Renewal Option shall be of no force or effect.







EXHIBIT “E”

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

Provided (a) that no then-uncured Event of Default, assignment or sublease exists under any term or provision contained in this Lease and no condition exists which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default pursuant to this Lease, (b) that Tenant has continuously occupied the Premises for the Permitted Use during the Lease Term, and (c) subject to the pre-existing rights of existing tenants in the Building and other prospective tenants, Tenant (but not any assignee or subtenant) shall have an ongoing right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to lease any vacant space located on the second (2nd) floor and the eighth (8th) floor of the Building (the “Right of First Refusal Space”) before it is leased to any third party during the Lease Term.
Subject to the terms above, in the event any third party expresses interest in leasing all or any portion of the Right of First Refusal Space during the Lease Term (“Third Party Interest”), Landlord shall offer the entire Right of First Refusal Space to Tenant upon the same terms, covenants and conditions as provided in this Lease for the original Premises (the “Landlord Offer”), except that the base rent, the length of lease term, the base year, and the tenant improvement allowance (if any) shall be the same as the terms included in a written indication of third party interest in the Right of First Refusal Space on terms which are acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall accept the space “As-Is,” except for latent defects identified by Tenant within twelve (12) months of Tenant’s occupancy of the Right of First Refusal Space; provided, however, Landlord shall have no responsibility for latent defects in any tenant improvement work in the Right of First Refusal Space performed by or on behalf of Tenant. and Tenant shall have no further rights with respect to the Right of First Refusal Space. If the lease term reflected in the Landlord Offer will expire on a date earlier than the Expiration Date of the Lease, then the lease term for the Right of First Refusal Space shall be coterminous with that of the Premises, and the Base Rent for the Right of First Refusal Space for the period of time beginning on the first day after the scheduled date of expiration of the third party lease and ending on the Expiration Date of this Lease shall be based on the annual amount per square foot scheduled for the original Premises for such period of time.
If Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of the acceptance of such offer within five (5) days after Landlord has delivered such offer to Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written agreement modifying and supplementing the Lease and specifying that such Right of First Refusal Space accepted by Tenant is a part of the Premises demised pursuant to the Lease for the remainder of the Lease Term and any renewal thereof, if applicable, and containing other appropriate terms and conditions relating to the addition of the Right of First Refusal Space to this Lease (including specifically any increase or adjustment of the rent as a result of such addition).
In the event that Tenant does not notify Landlord in writing of its acceptance of such offer in such five (5) day period, then Tenant’s rights under this Exhibit with respect to the Right of First Refusal Space shall be deemed waived and Landlord shall thereafter be able to lease the Right of First Refusal Space or any portion thereof to any third party upon the terms included in the bona fide third party offer initially presented to Tenant. After refusing the Landlord Offer, Tenant’s right of first refusal shall again apply if Landlord fails to lease the Right of First Refusal Space.
Any termination of the Lease shall terminate all rights of Tenant with respect to the Right of First Refusal Space. The rights of Tenant with respect to the Right of First Refusal Space shall not be severable from the Lease, nor may such rights be assigned or otherwise conveyed in connection with any permitted assignment of the Lease. Landlord’s consent to any assignment of the Lease shall not be construed as allowing an assignment or a conveyance of such rights to any assignee (except for a Permitted Transfer). Nothing herein contained should be construed so as to limit or abridge Landlord’s ability to deal with the Right of First Refusal Space or to lease the Right of First Refusal Space to other tenants on the terms set forth herein, Landlord’s sole obligation being to offer, and if such offer is accepted, to deliver the Right of First Refusal Space to Tenant in accordance with this provision.



This right shall apply only with respect to the entire Right of First Refusal Space, and may not be exercised with respect to only a portion thereof (unless only a portion of the Right of First Refusal Space shall be included in the Landlord Offer). If only a portion of the Right of First Refusal Space is included in the Landlord Offer, Tenant’s right shall apply to such portion, and shall thereafter apply to such other portions of the Right of First Refusal Space as they become the subject of Third Party Interest, subject to good faith adjustments by Landlord in the size configuration and location of such remaining portions. If the Right of First Refusal Space is part of a larger space that Landlord desires to lease as a unit, then the Landlord Offer shall, at Landlord’s option, identify the entire such space and the terms therefore, and in such case, Tenant’s right shall apply only to such entire space.





EXHIBIT “F”
EXPANSION OPTION

Provided (a) that no then-uncured Event of Default, assignment or sublease exists under any term or provision contained in this Lease and no condition exists which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default pursuant to this Lease, (b) that Tenant has continuously occupied the Premises for the Permitted Use during the Lease Term, and (c) subject to the pre-existing rights of existing tenants in the Building and other prospective tenants, Tenant (but not any assignee or subtenant) shall have a continuing right throughout the Third Amendment Extension Term to expand the Premises by any vacant space located on the second (2nd) floor and the eighth (8th) floor of the Building (“Expansion Space”) on the following terms and conditions. Throughout the Third Amendment Extension Term, and regardless whether a third party has expressed interest in leasing such space, if the Expansion Space is available at the time Tenant elects to expand the Leased Premises, Landlord shall offer such Expansion Space for lease to Tenant. Any Expansion Space leased by Tenant shall be on the terms and conditions then being offered by Landlord to new and renewing tenants for comparable space, taking into consideration the size and location of the Expansion Space, length remaining in the Term, brokerage commissions, tenant improvement allowances, and any other tenant inducements; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant elects to expand the Premises by the Expansion Space during the first twelve (12) months of the Third Amendment Extension Term, then the term for the Expansion Space shall be coterminous with the current Premises (including any Renewal Terms remaining), at the same Base Rental, free/abated Base Rental, the same Base Expense Amount, Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be equitably adjusted, and Landlord shall provide a proportionate amount of Third Amendment Tenant’s Allowance for the Expansion Space as provided by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the Premises pursuant to this Third Amendment. The proportionate amount of the Third Amendment Tenant’s Allowance applicable to the Expansion Space shall be determined based upon the following formula: (A) $35.00 multiplied by the number of square feet of Rentable Space of the Expansion Space, multiplied by (B) (i) the number of months remaining in the Third Amendment Extension Term as of the date the Expansion Space is included in the Premises, divided by (ii) the total number of months in the Third Amendment Extension Term.





EXHIBIT “G”

EARLY TERMINATION OPTION

Provided that no then-uncured Event of Default, assignment or sublease has occurred under any term or provision contained in this Lease and no condition exists which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default pursuant to this Lease, Tenant shall have an option to terminate this Lease as to all or a portion of the Premises (provided, however, Tenant may only exercise its early termination option as to the entire third (3rd), fourth (4th), or fifth (5th) floor of the Premises or as to half of the eighth (8th) floor of the Premises, including any expansion space) effective as of the expiration of the [***] month of the Third Amendment Extension Term (“Early Termination Date”). To exercise this early termination option, Tenant must (a) give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s election to terminate at least [***] months prior to the Early Termination Date, and (b) pay Landlord an early termination fee equal (“Early Termination Fee”) to (i) amount equal to four (4) months average gross Base Rental + electric applicable to the Premises for the year following the year in which Tenant exercises its early termination option, plus (ii) the then unamortized portion of the Third Amendment Tenant’s Allowance funded by Landlord as of the Early Termination Date, and (iii) the then unamortized portion of the Broker’s commission funded by Landlord as of the Early Termination Date (which items set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the scheduled eighty-six (86) month Third Amendment Extension Term, together with interest thereon at the rate of [***] percent ([***]%) per annum, and the unamortized portions thereof shall be determined based upon the unexpired portion of the Third Amendment Extension Term as of the Early Termination Date had this Lease not been so terminated); and in such event this Lease shall terminate as of the Early Termination Date. The Early Termination Fee shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord [***] upon Tenant’s delivery of such notice, and the remaining [***] within [***] days prior to Tenant’s vacation of the terminated portion of the Premises.
