Any such alterations shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 9. If Lessee determines that architectural barriers must be removed from the Building in order for Lessee's business to comply with the ADA, then Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor in writing of the requested alterations. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold approval of the requested alterations to the Building or Office Space. Lessee shall, at Lessor's option, bear the sole expense of all barrier removals necessitated by Lessee's use of the Office Space. Lessor may terminate this Lease if it determines that the barrier removals necessitated by Lessee's use of the Office Space will compromise the structural integrity of the building, will interfere with the occupancy of other tenants in the Building, or are inconsistent with Lessor's overall plan for the Building or Office Space. 4. Assignment and Subletting. Lessee shall not assign its right of occupancy under this Lease or any interest therein, or sublet the Office Space, or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Lessor, which the parties agree may be withheld for any reason.

Lessor's temporary failure to furnish any Services or to provide adequate electric service to the Building or Office Space shall not be construed as an eviction of Lessee or relieve Lessee from the duty of observing or performing any of the provisions of this Lease. 7. Condition of Office Space. The Office Space is leased to Lessee in its "as-is" condition. 8. Repairs and Maintenance. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Lessor will, at its own cost and expense, make necessary repairs of damage to the Building corridors, lobby, the Building's exterior walls and structure, the roof the Building, and to the equipment used to provide the Services.

In the event the Building should be totally destroyed by fire, tornado, or other casualty ("Casualty"), or in the event the Office Space or building should be so damaged that, in the opinion of the Lessor, rebuilding and repairs cannot be completed within 90 days after the date of the Casualty, either Lessor or Lessee, may at its option within 30 days after the date of the Casualty, terminate this Lease by giving notice to the other party in writing. In the event the Building or Office Space should be so damaged by Casualty that, in the opinion of the Lessor, rebuilding and repairs cannot be completed within 90 days after the date of Casualty, or if the Casualty should be more serious but neither Lessor nor Lessee elects to terminate this Lease, then Lessor shall, within 40 days after the date of the Casualty, commence to rebuild or repair the Building and/or the Office Space and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building and/or the Office Space to substantially the same condition in which it was immediately prior to the happening of the Casualty, except that Lessor shall not be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any part of the furniture, equipment, fixtures, and other improvements which may have been placed by Lessee or other tenants within the Building or Office Space.

In the event that any mortgage on the Building should require that the insurance proceeds received as a result of the Casualty to be used to retire the mortgage debt, then Lessor shall have no obligation to rebuild, and this Lease shall terminate upon Lessor's notice to Lessee. 12.

Lessee shall not be entitled to any part of any award made for such condemnation or other taking or the purchase price thereof made to Lessor. 14. Signs and Advertising. No signs, placard, lettering, advertising material, or other notice of any kind shall be displayed or placed on or so that it is visible from the exterior of the Office Space or the Building without the prior written approval of Lessor. Upon termination of this Lease, Lessee will remove any sign, advertisement or notice painted on or affixed to the leased premises, and restore the place it occupied to the condition which existed as of the date this Lease takes effect. 15. Default. Upon the happening or at any time after the happening of any one or more of the following events ("Event of Default"), Lessor, at its election, may declare Lessee to be in default under this Lease: (i) Lessee's failure to pay the Rent, Additional Rent, or any other sums due under this Lease for a period of 15 days after written notice by Lessor; (ii) Lessee's failure to observe, keep, or perform any of the terms, covenants, agreements, or conditions of this lease or in the Building Rules and Regulations for a period of ten business days after written notice by Lessor; (iii) Lessee's vacating or abandoning the Office Space or attempting to mortgage or pledge its interest hereunder; (iv) Lessee's interest under this Lease being sold under execution or other legal process; (v) Lessee's interest under this Lease being subject to an unauthorized attempted subletting or assignment; or (vi) any of the goods or chattels of Lessee used in or incident to the operation of Lessee's business in the Office Space being seized, sequestered, or impounded by virtue of, or under authority of, any legal proceeding. In the event of the happening of an Event of Default, the Lessor, at its election, may at any time and in any order, exercise any one or more of the following options: a. Terminate Lessee's right to possession under the Lease and re-enter and retake possession of the Office Space and relet or attempt to relet the Office Space on behalf of Lessee at such rent and under such terms and conditions as Lessor may deem best under the circumstances for the purpose of reducing Lessee's liability hereunder. Lessee shall remain liable for all Rent, Additional Rent, or other sums due under this Lease and for all damages suffered by Lessor because of Lessee's breach of any of the covenants of this Lease. b. Declare this Lease to be terminated and re-enter and re-take possession of the Office Space, terminating all of the Lessee's right, title, and interest in and to the Office Space. c. Accelerate and declare the entire remaining unpaid Rent and Additional Rent for the balance of this Lease to be immediately due and payable. The Lessor's exercise or failure to exercise any one or more of these options shall not preclude the Lessor's enforcement of any other remedies otherwise set forth in this Lease or otherwise provided by applicable law. Lessor may, in addition to any other remedies, enter the Office Space and take possession of any and all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture, improvements, and other personal property of Lessee situated on or in the Office Space, without liability for trespass or conversion, and sell the same at public or private sale, with or without having such property at the sale, after giving Lessee reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale is to be made, at which sale the Lessor or its assigns may purchase. Unless otherwise provided by law, the requirement of reasonable notice should be met if such notice is given in the manner prescribed in Paragraph 22 of this Lease at lease five days before the date of such sale. The proceeds of any such sale, less any and all expenses connected with the taking of possession, holding, and selling property (including reasonable attorneys' fees), shall be applied as a credit against the indebtedness owed by the Lessee. Any surplus shall be paid to Lessee or as otherwise required by law; and Lessee shall promptly pay any deficiencies. No re-entry or re-taking possession of the Office Space by Lessor shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease, unless Lessor gives written notice of such intention to Lessee. Lessor's acceptance of Rent or Additional Rent following an Event of Default shall not be construed as Lessor's waiver of such Event of Default. Lessor's failure to enforce any one or more remedies upon an Event of Default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any violation or Event of Default. The parties hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either party on any matters arising out of or in any connected with this Lease, the relationship of Lessor and Lessee, Lessee's use or occupancy of the Office Space and/or the Building. The parties agree that any and all suits for breach of this Lease shall be instituted and maintained only in those courts of competent jurisdiction located in Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas. 16. Attorneys' Fees. Lessee agrees to pay all court costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Lessor in the event that Lessor at any time institutes any legal action or proceeding to enforce this Lease, or any of the provisions hereof, or otherwise employs an attorney therefor. 17. Landlord's Lien.

Lessee agrees to prepare and sign any and all financing statements and other documents necessary, or requested by Lessor, to perfect Lessor's security interest in and to such property. 18. Subordination. In consideration of the execution of this Lease by Lessor, Lessee accepts this Lease, subject to any deeds of trust, mater leases, security interests, or mortgages, which might now or hereafter constitute a lien upon the Building or improvements therein or on the Office Space. Lessee also accepts this Lease subject to any zoning ordinances, building and fire ordinances, and all government regulations relation to the use of the Building. Lessee shall, on demand, in the forms prescribed by Lessor, execute any instrument, estoppel certificates, releases, or other documents that may be requested or required by any holder of any superior interest for the purpose of subjecting and subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such deed of trust, master lease, security interest, mortgage, or superior interest. Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as its attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, to execute and deliver any such instrument or document for Lessee should Lessee fail or refuse to do so. 19. Quiet Enjoyment. Provided Lessee has performed all of the terms, covenants, agreements, and conditions of this Lease, including the payment of Rent, Additional Rent, and other sums due hereunder, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Office Space against Lessor and all persons claiming by, through, or under Lessor, during the Term, subject to the provisions and conditions of this Lease. 20.

Holding Over. The failure of Lessee to surrender the Office Space upon the termination of this Lease, and the subsequent holding-over by Lessee, with or without the consent of Lessor, shall result in the creation of a tenancy at will at double the Rent in effect upon the termination. This provision does not give Lessee any right to hold over after the termination of this Lease and shall not be deemed to be a renewal of this Lease, either by operation of law or otherwise. 25.
