7. Right of First Refusal. The definition of the “First Refusal Space” at the beginning of Section 1.5 of the Lease is hereby amended to read as follows: “Landlord hereby grants to the original Tenant named in this Lease and any Affiliated Assignee (the “Original Tenant”), during the Lease Term, a continuing right of first refusal with respect to any and all space located on the second (2nd), third (3rd), sixth (6th), ninth (9th) and tenth (10th) floors of the Building and made a part hereof (collectively, the “First Refusal Space”).” Landlord represents that there are no Superior Leases or other parties with Superior Rights with respect to the ninth (9th) and tenth (10th) floors of the Building. Further, until after the date which is six (6) months from the Effective Date, Landlord agrees it (i) will not lease to any other tenant (or offer to Tenant under Section 1.5 of the Lease) any space located on the ninth (9th) floor of the Building, and (ii) Tenant shall have the right to add such ninth (9th) floor to the Premises upon thirty (30) days advance notice to Landlord, in which case the Base Rent for such ninth (9th) floor shall be the same as the Base Rent per rentable square foot to the Premises with respect to the Additional Premises hereunder. Tenant shall also have the right to add such ninth (9th) floor to the Premises upon thirty (30) days’ advance notice to Landlord at any time after such six (6) month period until Landlord has entered into a lease with a third party with respect to such ninth (9th) floor, in which case the Base Rent for such ninth (9th) floor shall be at the then-current market rate. In the event Tenant exercises its right of first refusal to the ninth (9th) floor space after the date which is six (6) months from the Effective Date, but objects to the determination of the then-current market rate rent determined by Landlord, the parties will determine the Base Rent in accordance with the process set forth in Section 2.3.3 of the Lease for determining Option Rent.
8. Option Terms. Tenant shall continue to have the right to extend the Lease Term for up to two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each in accordance with Section 2.3 of the Lease.

EXHIBIT B
TENANT FINISH-WORK: ALLOWANCE
1. Acceptance of Additional Premises. Except as set forth in this Exhibit, Tenant accepts the Additional Premises in their “AS-IS” condition on the date that this Amendment is entered into.
2. Space Plans.
(a) Landlord and Tenant hereby approve the space plan prepared by Staffelbach Design Associates (the “Architect”) depicting improvements to be installed in the Additional Premises, attached as Exhibit B-1 hereto (the “Space Plans”).
3. Working Drawings.
(a) Preparation and Delivery. On or before the date which is forty-five (45) days following the date of this Amendment (such date is referred to herein as the “Working Drawings Delivery Deadline”), Tenant shall provide to Landlord for its approval final working drawings, prepared by the Architect, of all improvements that Tenant proposes to install in the Additional Premises; such working drawings shall include the partition layout, ceiling plan, electrical outlets and switches, telephone outlets, drawings for any modifications to the mechanical and plumbing systems of the Building, and detailed plans and specifications for the construction of the improvements called for under this Exhibit in accordance with all applicable Laws.
(b) Approval Process. Landlord shall notify Tenant whether it approves of the submitted working drawings within five business days after Tenant’s submission thereof (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Landlord’s approval shall be limited to non-cosmetic aspects of the Work, such as to the Building Structure of the Building Systems (as hereinafter defined). If the Working Drawings are substantially similar to the working drawings provided to Landlord for the Existing Premises when the improvements were initially completed or reflect improvements substantially similar to those contained in the Existing Premises, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent and will use commercially reasonable efforts to expedite the approval process. If Landlord disapproves of such working drawings, then Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, in which case Tenant shall, within five business days after such notice, revise such working drawings in accordance with Landlord’s objections and submit the revised working drawings to Landlord for its review and approval. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing whether it approves of the resubmitted working drawings within five business days after its receipt thereof. This process shall be repeated until the working drawings have been finally approved by Tenant and Landlord. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant that it disapproves of the initial working drawings or any subsequent submittal in accordance with the terms of this paragraph within five business days after the submission thereof, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the working drawings in question.

(c) Landlord’s Approval; Performance of Work. If any of Tenant’s proposed construction work will affect the Building’s Structure or the Building’s Systems (as hereinafter defined), then the working drawings pertaining thereto must be approved by the Building’s engineer of record. Landlord’s approval of such working drawings shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that (1) they comply with all Laws, (2) the improvements depicted thereon do not adversely affect (in the reasonable discretion of Landlord) the Building’s Structure or the Building’s Systems, (including the Building’s restrooms or mechanical rooms), the exterior appearance of the Building, or the appearance of the Building’s common areas or elevator lobby areas, (3) such working drawings are sufficiently detailed to allow construction of the improvements in a good and workmanlike manner, and (4) the improvements depicted thereon conform to the rules and regulations promulgated from time to time by Landlord for the construction of tenant improvements (a copy of which has been delivered to Tenant). As used herein, “Working Drawings” shall mean the final working drawings approved by Landlord, as amended from time to time by any approved changes thereto, and “Work” shall mean all improvements to be constructed in accordance with and as indicated on the Working Drawings, together with any work required by governmental authorities to be made to other areas of the Building as a result of the improvements indicated by the Working Drawings. All of the Work shall be considered Tenant Improvements under the Lease. Landlord’s approval of the Working Drawings shall not be a representation or warranty of Landlord that such drawings are adequate for any use or comply with any Law, but shall merely be the consent of Landlord thereto. Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, sign the Working Drawings to evidence its review and approval thereof. After the Working Drawings have been approved, Tenant shall cause the Work to be performed in substantial accordance with the Working Drawings.
4. Change Orders. Tenant may initiate changes in the Work. Any material change must receive the prior written approval of Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; however, if such requested change would adversely affect (in the reasonable discretion of Landlord) (1) the Building’s Structure or the Building’s Systems (including the Building’s restrooms or mechanical rooms), (2) the exterior appearance of the Building, or (3) the appearance of the Building’s common areas or elevator lobby areas, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion. If any change orders reflect changes which are substantially similar to the buildout of the Existing Premises, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent and will use commercially reasonable efforts to expedite the approval process. If Landlord disapproves of such change order, then Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, in which case Tenant shall, within five business days after such notice, revise such change order in accordance with Landlord’s objections and submit the revised order to Landlord for its review and approval. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing whether it approves of the resubmitted change order within five business days after its receipt thereof. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant that it disapproves any change order within five business days after the submission of the same by Tenant, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the change order in question. Tenant shall, upon completion of the Work, furnish Landlord with an accurate architectural “as-built” plan of the Work as constructed, which plan shall be incorporated into this Exhibit B by this reference for all purposes.
5. Definitions. As used herein “Substantial Completion,” “Substantially Completed,” and any derivations thereof mean the Work in the Additional Premises is substantially completed (as reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant) in substantial accordance with the Working Drawings. Substantial Completion shall have occurred even though minor details of construction, decoration, landscaping and mechanical adjustments remain to be completed by Landlord. “Building’s Structure” means the Building’s exterior walls, roof, elevator shafts, footings, foundations, structural portions of load-bearing walls, structural floors and subfloors, and structural columns and beams; “Building’s Systems” means the Building’s HVAC, life-safety, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems; and “Laws” means all federal, state, and local laws, rules and regulations, all court orders, governmental directives, and governmental orders, and all restrictive covenants affecting the Building, and “Law” shall mean any of the foregoing.

7. Excess Costs. The entire cost of performing the Work (including design of the Work and preparation of the Working Drawings, moving costs, furniture, costs of construction labor and materials, electrical usage during construction, additional janitorial services, general tenant signage, related taxes and insurance costs, and the construction supervision fee referenced in Section 9 of this Exhibit, all of which costs are herein collectively called the “Total Construction Costs”) in excess of the Construction Allowance (hereinafter defined) shall be paid by Tenant.
8. Construction Allowance. Landlord shall provide to Tenant a construction allowance not to exceed $30.00 per rentable square foot in the Additional Premises (the “Construction Allowance”) to be applied toward the Total Construction Costs to the Additional Premises only. Up to $10.00 per rentable square foot of the Construction Allowance may be used for telephone cabling and computer cabling for the Additional Premises and the Existing Premises, moving costs, furniture and reduction to the Base Rent for the Additional Premises. No more than $2.00 per rentable square foot may be used for a reduction to the Base Rent. If Tenant desires to use the Construction Allowance for a reduction of the Base Rent, Tenant shall give Landlord fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the amount of the requested Base Rent reduction, and the Construction Allowance shall be applied to the Base Rent due from Tenant for the month following such notice. The Construction Allowance shall be disbursed in whole or in part at any time and from time to time to Tenant or Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s request therefor; provided, however, Landlord shall have received and approved each of the following, as applicable: (a) Tenant’s written request, including a description of the portion of the Work and a cost breakdown thereof in reasonable detail, and Borrower’s certification that all such Work has been completed lien-free and in a workmanlike manner; (b) copies of invoices for services with detailed instructions for payment; (c) contractors’ and subcontractors’ waivers of liens and all other statements and forms required for compliance with the mechanics’ lien laws of the State of Texas with respect to such Work (subject to payment of the aforesaid sums when paid directly to the Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors by Landlord); and (d) evidence, if applicable, that the Work is completed in accordance with the City of Irving or the Las Colinas Association requirements. The Construction Allowance must be used within twelve (12) months following the Effective Date or shall be deemed forfeited with no further obligation by Landlord with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the expiration of such twelve (12) month period, if any undisbursed Construction Allowance then remains, up to $2.00 per rentable square foot of the Construction Allowance shall be automatically applied to a reduction in the Base Rent beginning on the payment which is due following thirteen (13) months from the Effective Date.
If Landlord fails to timely pay all or any portion of the Construction Allowance pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, and provided that (x) such failure continues for 90 days after Tenant notifies Landlord of such failure that Tenant intends to set off such amount against the next installment of Rent unless Landlord pays such amount to Tenant within such 90 day period (which notice shall in state in bold-face type in all caps on the first page of the notice that “TENANT INTENDS TO OFFSET RENT IF LANDLORD FAILS TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE WITHIN NINETY (90) DAYS”) (“Offset Notice”), and (y) after 90 days from the Offset Notice, Landlord fails to provide notice to the Tenant of Landlord’s dispute to Tenant’s entitlement to the amount claimed by Tenant, then Tenant may offset such amount against the next installment of Rent coming due under this Lease. If Landlord sends notice to Tenant within 90 days of the Offset Notice that the Landlord disputes Tenant’s claim that Landlord has failed to pay the Construction Allowance, the parties shall submit the claim to be resolved by binding arbitration under the Expedited Procedures provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (or any organization which is the successor thereto). The decision of the arbitrators shall be conclusively binding on the parties, and judgment upon the decision may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Following the determination of the arbitrator: (x) if the dispute is resolved in favor of Tenant, then Tenant may offset the actual amount of the Construction Allowance claimed by Tenant against the next installment of Rent due under this Lease; and (y) if the dispute is resolved in favor of Landlord, Tenant shall pay all costs and attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the arbitration.
