2.203 Payment Obligation.

Commencing with the Commencement Date and continuing until the expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Additional Rent, in monthly installments as hereinafter provided. By December 1 of each calendar year during the term of this Lease (or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible), Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s estimate of Additional Rent for the following calendar year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the Commencement Date and on the first day of each month thereafter the amount of the applicable monthly installment of Additional Rent, provided, however, if the applicable installment covers a partial month, then such installment shall be prorated on a daily basis. Within ninety (90) days after the end of (i) each calendar year and (ii) the Expiration Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant a statement showing Tenant’s actual Additional Rent for the applicable calendar year together with a reasonably detailed breakout of Real Estate Taxes, Electrical Expenses and major items of Operating Expenses, provided that with respect to the calendar year in which the Expiration Date occurs, (x) that calendar year shall be deemed to have commenced on January 1 of that year and ended on the Expiration Date (the “Final Calendar Year”) and (y) Landlord shall have the right to reasonably estimate the actual Additional Rent allocable to the Final Calendar Year but which are not determinable within such ninety day period. If Tenant’s total monthly payments of Additional Rent for the applicable year are less than Tenant’s actual Additional Rent, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such underpayment. If Tenant’s total monthly payments of Additional Rent for the applicable year are more than Tenant’s actual Additional Rent, then Landlord shall credit against the next Rent payment or payments due from Tenant the amount of such overpayment, provided, however, with respect to the Final Calendar Year, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of such excess payments, less any amounts then owed to Landlord, within thirty (30) days of determination. Unless Tenant takes written exception to any item within one hundred twenty (120) days after the furnishing of an annual statement, such statement shall be considered as final and accepted by Tenant. During the Term, any amount due Landlord as shown on any such statement shall be paid by Tenant by the date on which its next Basic Monthly Rent payment is due (provided that if Tenant receives Landlord’s statement less than thirty (30) days before such payment is due, then Tenant’s payment shall be due on the date on which the following Basic Monthly Rent payment is due). Following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, any amount due Landlord as shown on any such statement shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after it is furnished to Tenant (which obligation shall survive the expiration or the earlier termination of this Lease). For purposes of calculating Additional Rent, the maximum increase in the amount of Controllable Operating Expenses (defined below) that may be included in calculating Additional Rent for each calendar year after 2012 shall be limited to 6% per calendar year on a cumulative basis; for example, the maximum amount of Controllable Operating Expenses that may be included in the calculation of Additional Rent for each calendar year after 2012 shall equal the product of the Controllable Operating Expenses for the calendar year 2012 and the following percentages for the following calendar years: 106% for 2013, 112% for 2014, 118% for 2015, etc. The term “Controllable Operating Expenses” shall mean all items of Operating Expenses (adjusted as provided in subsection 2.202) that are within the reasonable control of Landlord, but shall specifically exclude Utility Expenses, insurance costs and costs incurred because of force majeure. Any invoice or statement provided to Tenant reflecting Additional Rent or other amounts due under this Lease shall include a breakout of any sales tax included in the amounts set forth in such invoice or statement.

Tenant shall have the right to perform, no more than once in any calendar year, an annual audit on Landlord’s books and records which reflect Additional Rent to verify Landlord’s calculation of actual Additional Rent for the prior calendar year, provided that (i) such audit shall be requested, if at all, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the receipt of the annual statement of actual Additional Rent from Landlord, (ii) such audit shall be performed during Landlord’s normal business hours, at the place in Dallas, Texas where Landlord maintains its records (or if such records are not maintained in Dallas, Texas, then Landlord shall deliver the appropriate records to the Building’s management office) and only after Landlord has received thirty (30) days prior written notice, (iii) such audit shall be conducted by a certified public accountant or real estate services firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord, which accountant or firm

shall not perform the audit on a contingency fee basis, (iv) the auditor’s report reflecting the results of such audit shall be promptly delivered to Landlord, (v) such audit and/or inspection shall commence promptly after Landlord makes such books and records available to Tenant’s auditor and thereafter proceed reasonably to conclusion, (vi) such audit and/or inspection shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Landlord’s business, (vii) both Tenant and the accounting firm conducting the audit and/or inspection shall execute a confidentiality agreement for the benefit of Landlord, in the form reasonably requested by Landlord, prior to the commencement of the audit or inspection, and (viii) in no event shall Tenant be permitted to audit or review Landlord’s other leases or agreements with other Building tenants or occupants. This paragraph shall not be construed to limit or abate Tenant’s obligation to pay the Additional Rent when due as set forth in this Lease. If such audit conducted by Tenant discloses that Tenant has overpaid Additional Rent, then, after review of such audit by Landlord or by accountants selected by Landlord, any overpayment shall be refunded to Tenant (provided that if Tenant is then in default in the payment of any Rent, such overpayment shall be applied against any amount Tenant owes as a result of such default) within thirty (30) days after the verification of the audit (such verification to be completed within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s audit report). Failure by Tenant to contest or dispute the allocation of Additional Rent within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date any annual statement for Additional Rent is submitted to Tenant (a) shall be deemed a waiver of the applicable audit or dispute right and any right to contest the Additional Rent for the applicable calendar year; and (b) shall be deemed acceptance of the Additional Rent charges as submitted to and reviewed by Tenant. The foregoing provisions shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease. Tenant shall not be entitled to conduct such an audit if Tenant is in monetary default under this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period. If the audit proves that Landlord’s calculation of Operating Expenses for the calendar year under inspection was overstated by more than five percent (5%), then, after verification, Landlord shall pay Tenant’s actual reasonable out-of-pocket audit and inspection fees (but specifically excluding any travel and lodging expenses) applicable to the review of said calendar year statement within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s invoice therefor.

2.204 Billing Disputes.

If there exists any dispute as to (i) the amount of Additional Rent, (ii) whether a particular expense is properly included in Additional Rent or (iii) Landlord’s calculation of Additional Rent (each an “Additional Rent Dispute”), the events, errors, acts or omissions giving rise to such Additional Rent Dispute shall not constitute a breach or default by Landlord under this Lease and even if a judgment resolving the Additional Rent Dispute is entered against Landlord, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall not be liable for any consequential damages resulting from the event, error, act or omission giving rise to such Additional Rent Dispute. Notwithstanding the existence of an Additional Rent Dispute, Tenant shall pay timely the amount of Additional Rent which is in dispute and will continue to make all subsequent payments of Additional Rent as and when required under this Lease, provided that the payment of such disputed amount and other amounts shall be without prejudice to Tenant’s position. If an Additional Rent Dispute is resolved in favor of Tenant, Landlord shall forthwith pay to Tenant the amount of Tenant’s overpayment of Additional Rent, together with interest from the time of such overpayment at the annual rate of ten percent (10%) and attorneys’ fees in accordance with Section 15.18. If an Additional Rent Dispute is resolved in favor of Landlord, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord attorneys’ fees in accordance with Section 15.18.

2.205 Revisions in Estimated Additional Rent.

If Real Estate Taxes, Insurance Premiums, Utility Expenses or Additional Pass Through Costs increase during a calendar year or if the number of square feet of rentable area in the Premises increases, Landlord may reasonably revise the estimated Additional Rent during such year by giving Tenant no less than thirty (30) days written notice to that effect and thereafter Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in each of the remaining months of such year, an additional amount equal to the amount of such increase in the estimated Additional Rent divided by the number of months remaining in such year.

SECTION 2.3 RENT DEFINED AND NO OFFSETS.

Basic Annual Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums (whether or not expressly designated as rent) required to be paid to Landlord by Tenant under this Lease (including, without limitation, any sums payable to Landlord under any addendum, exhibit, rider or schedule attached hereto) shall constitute rent and are sometimes collectively referred to as “Rent”. Each payment of Rent shall be paid by Tenant when due, without prior demand therefor and without deduction or setoff except as expressly set forth in this Lease.

SECTION 2.4 LATE CHARGES.

If any installment of Basic Annual Rent or Additional Rent or any other payment of Rent under this Lease shall not be paid when due, a “Late Charge” of four cents ($.04) per dollar so overdue may be charged by Landlord to defray Landlord’s administrative expense incident to the handling of such overdue payments. Each Late Charge shall be payable on demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not impose a Late Charge against Tenant for the first time in any Lease Year Tenant fails to pay any amount when due under this Lease, provided such amount is paid within five (5) days after notice from Landlord that the same is overdue.

ARTICLE 3 — SECURITY DEPOSIT

Tenant will pay Landlord on the date this Lease is executed by Tenant the Security Deposit set forth in Item 11 of the Basic Lease Provisions as security for the performance of the terms hereof by Tenant. Landlord shall deposit the Security Deposit into a segregated money market or savings account with a national banking association or a bank chartered with the Texas Department of Banking, but Tenant shall not be entitled to interest thereon. Landlord may not commingle such Security Deposit with any other funds of Landlord. The Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of rental or a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of default by Tenant. If Tenant defaults beyond any applicable notice and cure periods with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use, apply or retain all or any part of this Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default or for the payment of any other actual, reasonable out-of-pocket amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default, including, without limitation, actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord to recover possession of the Premises. If Landlord ever uses, applies or retains all or any portion of the Security Deposit pursuant to the preceding sentence, Tenant will, within ten (10) days after receipt of a written demand from Landlord, deliver to Landlord an amount which will increase the balance of the Security Deposit to its original level. The Security Deposit, or so much thereof, if any, as shall not have been applied by Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Article 3, shall be returned to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date. Tenant agrees that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the monies deposited herein as the Security Deposit and that Landlord and its successors and assigns shall not be bound by any such actual or attempted assignment or encumbrance. Regardless of any assignment of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord may return the Security Deposit to the original Tenant, in the absence of evidence satisfactory to Landlord of an assignment of the right to receive the Security Deposit or any part of the balance thereof. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Article 3 shall supersede and replace all statutory rights under applicable law regarding the retention, application or return of security deposits.

ARTICLE 7 — INSURANCE, FIRE AND CASUALTY

In the event that the Building should be totally destroyed by fire or other casualty or in the event the Building (or any portion thereof) should be so damaged that rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, within such two hundred forty (240) day period, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease (so long as Landlord likewise terminates the leases for all other similarly affected tenants in the Building, to the extent contractually permitted), in which event Tenant’s obligation to pay Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent with respect to the unexpired portion of this Lease shall be terminated effective as of the date of such casualty. Landlord shall exercise the termination right pursuant to the preceding sentence, if at all, by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the casualty at issue. In the event that the Premises should be so damaged by fire or other casualty that rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, within two hundred forty (240) days after the casualty, Tenant may, at its option terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant’s obligation to pay Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent during the unexpired portion of this Lease shall be terminated, effective as of the date of casualty. Tenant shall exercise the termination right pursuant to the preceding sentence, if at all, by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord within twenty (20) days after receiving a copy of Landlord’s determination that the repairs cannot be completed within such two hundred forty (240) day period. In the event the Building or the Premises should be damaged by fire or other casualty and, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the rebuilding or repairs can be completed within two hundred forty (240) days after the casualty, or if the damage should be more serious but neither Landlord nor Tenant elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section, in either such event Landlord shall, within ninety (90) days after the date of the casualty, commence (and thereafter pursue with reasonable diligence) repairing the Building and the Premises, but only to the extent of insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for such repairs, to substantially the same condition which existed immediately prior to the happening of the casualty. In no event shall Landlord be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the furniture, equipment, fixtures, inventory, supplies or any other personalty or any other interior tenant-finish improvements, which may have been placed by Tenant within the Building or at the Premises. Landlord shall allow Tenant a prorated diminution of Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent based upon the portion of the Premises that is Untenantable; provided, that if such casualty was caused by Tenant, its agents, employees, licensees or invitees, Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated only to the

extent Landlord is compensated for such Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent by loss of rents insurance, if any. Notwithstanding Landlord’s restoration obligation, in the event any mortgagee under a deed of trust, security agreement or mortgage on the Building should require that the insurance proceeds be used to retire or reduce the mortgage debt or if the insurance company issuing Landlord’s fire and casualty insurance policy fails or refuses to pay Landlord the proceeds under such policy, Landlord shall have no obligation to rebuild and this Lease shall terminate upon notice by Landlord to Tenant. Subject to the provisions of subsection 7.201(c) below, any insurance which may be carried by Landlord or Tenant against loss or damage to the Building or to the Premises shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance and under its sole control. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease because Landlord determined that the necessary repairs and restoration could be completed within two hundred forty (240) days of the date of the casualty, but the necessary repairs and restoration are not substantially completed within such two hundred forty (240) day period, then until Landlord delivers the Premises to Tenant with all necessary repairs and restoration substantially completed, Tenant shall have the right and option to terminate this Lease upon sixty (60) days notice to Landlord and, unless Landlord shall substantially complete the required repairs and restoration within such sixty (60) day period, this Lease shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of such sixty (60) day period. Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 7.1, the parties shall be relieved from further obligation or liability to the other, except for such indemnity and other obligations which expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Term.

(b) Landlord shall at all times during the term hereof maintain in effect a policy or policies of all risk extended coverage insurance covering the Building (excluding property required to be insured by Tenant) and the Garage and all improvements, fixtures, equipment and personalty of Landlord located therein and endorsed to provide full replacement cost coverage and providing protection against perils included within the standard Texas form of fire and extended coverage insurance policy (including, without limitation, coverage against fire, wind, tornado, vandalism, malicious mischief, water damage and sprinkler leakage), together with insurance against sprinkler damage, vandalism, malicious mischief and such other risks as Landlord may from time to time determine and with any such deductibles as Landlord may from time to time determine. The property insurance may provide for a commercially reasonable deductible.

Any insurance provided for in subsection 7.301 above may be effected by self-insurance or by a policy or policies of blanket insurance covering additional items or locations or assureds, provided that the requirements of this Section 7.3 are otherwise satisfied. Tenant shall have no rights in any policy or policies maintained by Landlord. If Landlord elects to provide insurance through blanket insurance, then Landlord shall be permitted to allocate a fair portion of the premiums of the blanket insurance to Operating Expenses. If Landlord self insures pursuant to this subsection, Landlord shall be entitled to include in Operating Expenses an amount equal to the cost that would have been incurred by Landlord if Landlord had provided such coverage through a third party insurer.

SECTION 7.4 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.

LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE AGAINST THE OTHER (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, A DIRECT ACTION FOR DAMAGES) ON ACCOUNT OF ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OCCASIONED TO LANDLORD OR TENANT, AS THE CASE MAY BE (EVEN IF (X) SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE FAULT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS CONDUCT, ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE RELEASED PARTY OR THE RELEASED PARTY’S DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS,

SUBTENANTS OR INVITEES AND/OR (Y) THE RELEASED PARTY IS STRICTLY LIABLE FOR SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE), TO THEIR RESPECTIVE PROPERTY, THE PREMISES, ITS CONTENTS OR TO ANY OTHER PORTION OF THE BUILDING OR THE PROPERTY ARISING FROM ANY RISK (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE AMOUNT OF COVERAGE OR THE AMOUNT OF DEDUCTIBLE) COVERED BY THE ALL RISK ONE HUNDRED PERCENT REPLACEMENT COST PROPERTY INSURANCE REQUIRED TO BE CARRIED BY TENANT AND LANDLORD, RESPECTIVELY, UNDER SUBSECTIONS 7.201(b) AND 7.301(b) ABOVE. The foregoing waiver shall be effective even if either or both parties fail to carry the all risk one hundred percent replacement cost property insurance required by Sections 7.201(b) and 7.301(b) above. If a party waiving rights under this Section is carrying an all risk full replacement cost insurance policy in the promulgated form used in the State of Texas and an amendment to such promulgated form is passed, such amendment shall be deemed not a part of such promulgated form until it applies to the policy being carried by the waiving party. Without in any way limiting the foregoing waivers and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties hereto each, on behalf of their respective insurance companies insuring the property of either Landlord or Tenant against any such loss, waive any right of subrogation that Landlord or Tenant or their respective insurers may have against the other party or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or invitees and all rights of their respective insurance companies based upon an assignment from its insured. Each party to this Lease agrees immediately to give to each such insurance company written notification of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this Section and to have said insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said waivers. The foregoing waiver shall be effective whether or not the parties maintain the required insurance.

SECTION 7.5 TENANT’S INDEMNITY.

Subject to the limitation and exclusions set forth below in this subsection, Tenant hereby agrees to and will indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, Property Manager, their respective officers, directors, and employees and any other parties for whom Landlord and/or Property Manager are legally responsible (each a “Landlord Indemnified Party”) from, and shall reimburse each Landlord Indemnified Party for and with respect to, any and all costs, expenses (including, without limitation, actual, reasonable attorneys fees), claims, demands, actions, proceedings, judgments, hearings, damages, losses and liabilities brought or asserted by or payable to any third party on account of personal injury, death, property damage or any other form of injury or damage (each a “Claim” and collectively the “Claims”) arising out of or relating to (a) an incident or event which occurred within or on the Premises, (b) the use or occupancy of the Premises, or (c) any breach of this Lease by Tenant and which resulted in a Claim. The indemnification and reimbursement obligations of Tenant under this subsection shall not apply to a Claim (i) waived by Landlord under Section 7.4 above or any other provision of this Lease, or (ii) arising primarily out of the negligence or intentional misconduct of the Landlord Indemnified Party. If a third party files a lawsuit or brings any other legal action asserting a Claim against a Landlord Indemnified Party and that is covered by Tenant’s indemnity, then Tenant, upon notice from the Landlord Indemnified Party, shall resist and defend such Claim through counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord Indemnified Party. TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TENANT’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SECTION 7.5 MAY APPLY TO CLAIMS RESULTING FROM THE PARTIAL (BUT NOT PRIMARY) NEGLIGENCE OF A LANDLORD INDEMNIFIED PARTY. Tenant’s obligations under this subsection shall survive the termination of this Lease.

SECTION 7.6 LANDLORD’S INDEMNITY.

Landlord will indemnify and hold Tenant and its partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, representatives or employees (each a “Tenant Party” and collectively “Tenant Parties”) harmless from, and reimburse the Tenant Parties for and with respect to all Claims to the extent any Claim is suffered by, recovered from or asserted against such Tenant Party and arises from or in connection with any damage or

injury occurring in the Common Areas. The indemnification and reimbursement obligations of Landlord under this subsection shall not apply to a Claim (i) waived by Tenant under Section 7.4 above or any other provision of this Lease, or (ii) arising primarily out of the negligence or intentional misconduct of a Tenant Party. If a third party files a lawsuit or brings any other legal action asserting a Claim against a Tenant Party and that is covered by Landlord’s indemnity, then Landlord, upon notice from the Tenant Party, shall resist and defend such Claim through counsel selected by Landlord’s insurance carrier or, if selected by Landlord, reasonably satisfactory to the Tenant Party. LANDLORD ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LANDLORD’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SECTION 7.6 MAY APPLY TO CLAIMS RESULTING FROM THE PARTIAL (BUT NOT PRIMARY) NEGLIGENCE OF A TENANT PARTY. This Section 7.6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 8 — CONDEMNATION

SECTION 8.1 CONDEMNATION RESULTING IN CONTINUED USE NOT FEASIBLE.

If the Property or any portion thereof that, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, is necessary to the continued efficient and/or economically feasible use of the Property shall be taken or condemned in whole or in part for public purposes, or sold to a condemning authority in lieu of taking, then the term of this Lease shall, at the option of Landlord, forthwith cease and terminate so long as Landlord likewise terminates the leases for all other similarly affected tenants in the Building, to the extent contractually permitted.

SECTION 8.2 TOTAL CONDEMNATION OF PREMISES.

In the event that all or substantially all of the Premises (or access thereto) is taken or condemned or sold in lieu thereof, or if by reason of a temporary taking Tenant will be unable to conduct its normal business operations in the Premises (whether due to a taking of a portion of the Premises or other area(s) of the Building on which Tenant’s operations are dependent or due to a taking that deprives Tenant of commercially reasonable access to the Premises) for a period reasonably anticipated to exceed one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to the other within thirty (30) days after the taking, condemnation or sale in lieu thereof.

SECTION 8.3 CONDEMNATION WITHOUT TERMINATION.

If upon a taking or condemnation or sale in lieu of the taking of all or less than all of the Property which gives either Landlord or Tenant the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2 above and neither Landlord nor Tenant elect to exercise such termination right, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, provided that, if the taking, condemnation or sale includes any portion of the Premises or renders any portion of the Premises Untenantable, the Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall be redetermined on the basis of the remaining square feet of Agreed Rentable Area of the Premises that is not Untenantable. Landlord, at Landlord’s sole option and expense, shall restore and reconstruct the Building to substantially its former condition to the extent that the same may be reasonably feasible, but such work shall not be required to exceed the scope of the work done in originally constructing the Building, nor shall Landlord in any event be required to spend for such work an amount in excess of the amount received by Landlord as compensation or damages (over and above amounts going to the mortgagee of the property taken) for the part of the Building or the Premises so taken. In the event the Premises, the Building, or the Garage, as so restored and reconstructed by Landlord, is materially unsuitable for Tenant to conduct its normal business operations, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Landlord. Such notice shall identify with reasonable detail the aspects of Landlord’s restoration and reconstruction which renders the Premises, Building and/or Garage materially unsuitable for Tenant to conduct its normal business operations. If Landlord shall correct such aspects within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant’s termination notice shall deemed to be null and void. If Landlord shall not substantially correct such aspects within such thirty (30) day period, this Lease shall automatically terminate upon the

22


expiration of such thirty (30) day period and neither party shall owe any further obligation or liability to the other with respect to this Lease other than for such obligations and liabilities as shall expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

SECTION 8.4 CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS.

Landlord shall receive the entire award (which shall include sales proceeds) payable as a result of a condemnation, taking or sale in lieu thereof. Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord any and all right, title and interest of Tenant now or hereafter arising in and to any such award with respect to its leasehold interest in the Premises. Tenant shall, however, have the right to recover from such authority through a separate award which does not reduce Landlord’s award, any compensation as may be awarded to Tenant on account of moving and relocation expenses and depreciation to and removal of Tenant’s physical property or otherwise.

ARTICLE 9 — LIENS

Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Property free from all liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against, and reimburse Landlord for and with respect to, any and all Claims, causes of action, damages, expenses (including actual, reasonable attorneys’ fees), arising from or in connection with any such Liens. In the event that Tenant shall not, within thirty (30) days following notification to Tenant of the imposition of any such lien, cause the same to be released of record by payment or the posting of a bond in amount, form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by Law, the right but not the obligation, to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to such lien. All actual and reasonable out-of-pocket amounts paid or incurred by Landlord in connection therewith shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand and shall bear interest from the date of demand until paid at the rate set forth in Section 15.10 below. Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any specific improvement, alteration or repair of or to the Building or the Premises or any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the filing of any mechanic’s or other liens against the interest of Landlord in the Property or the Premises.

ARTICLE 10 — TAXES ON TENANT’S PROPERTY

Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay, prior to their becoming delinquent, any and all taxes and assessments levied against, and any increases in Real Estate Taxes as a result of, any personal property or trade or other fixtures placed by Tenant in or about the Premises and any improvements constructed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant; but only to the extent such increase can reasonably be attributed to such fixtures or improvements, as reflected in a separate assessment or other documentation prepared by the Dallas Central Appraisal District (or any successor entity thereto or other applicable authority). In the event Landlord pays any such additional taxes or increases, Tenant will, within thirty (30) days after demand, reimburse Landlord for the amount thereof.

ARTICLE 11 — SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNING

SECTION 11.1 SUBLEASE AND ASSIGNMENT.

Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or allow it to be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise (it being agreed that for purposes of this Lease, assignment shall include, without limitation, the transfer of a majority interest of stock, partnership or other forms of ownership interests, merger or dissolution) or mortgage or pledge the same, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof or permit the

 

Renaissance Tower/ Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc.

 

23


Premises to be occupied by any firm, person, partnership or corporation or any combination thereof, other than Tenant, without the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed in accordance with Section 11.2 below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any permitted assignee of Tenant is a public corporation, the transfer of a majority interest of the stock of such assignee shall not be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease and shall not require Landlord’s consent or any notification to Landlord. Notwithstanding any subletting or assignment by Tenant hereunder or any provision herein to the contrary, Tenant shall remain fully liable for the performance of all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed, including without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent during the entire Term. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of each assignment or sublease entered into by Tenant promptly after the execution thereof, whether or not Landlord’s consent is required in connection therewith. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments or sublettings shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord’s rights as to any subsequent assignments and/or sublettings. Any assignment made by Tenant shall be in recordable form and shall contain a covenant of assumption of obligations accruing thereafter by the assignee running to Landlord. All actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any assignment or sublease proposed by Tenant will be the responsibility of Tenant and will be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from Landlord; provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant be required to pay any such legal fees in connection with a single assignment or sublease transaction which are in excess of $1,500. In addition, in consideration for Landlord’s review of any requested assignment or sublease, Tenant will pay to Landlord an administrative overhead fee of $1,000.00 at the time of such request.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions set forth below, Tenant may, without the prior written consent of Landlord, but only after giving Landlord at least ten (10) days prior written notice, sublet the Premises or any part thereof to an Affiliate (hereinafter defined) or assign this Lease to an Affiliate unless: (i) the sublessee’s or assignee’s use of the Premises conflicts with the Permitted Use or any exclusive or non-compete clause then affecting the Building (but only to the extent same apply to the portion of the Building that includes the Premises); (ii) the nature, business or activities of the sublessee or assignee (or their respective principals, employees or invitees) is not reasonably acceptable to Landlord; (iii) such sublease or assignment adversely affects the real estate investment trust (or pension fund) qualification tests (if any) applicable to Landlord or its affiliates; (iv) a default exists under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period(s); or (v) the sublessee or assignee fails to execute Landlord’s then-standard but reasonable form of consent document (containing, in the event of an assignment, an assumption by the assignee of all obligations of Tenant under this Lease accruing after the date of the assignment), or fails to execute a sublease or assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant’s notice shall include the identity of the Affiliate and the relationship of the Affiliate to Tenant and if the Affiliate is a merged or acquiring entity covered by clause (ii) below, the notice shall be accompanied by then current financial statements of the merged or acquiring entity, as applicable. The term “Affiliate” shall mean (i) any entity which, directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with the original Tenant executing this Lease (the “Original Tenant”), or (ii) an entity which results from the merger of the Original Tenant with another entity or an entity which acquires substantially all of the assets or stock of the Original Tenant, provided such merged or acquiring entity, as applicable, has total assets and a tangible net worth at least equal to the greater of Original Tenant’s tangible net worth at the commencement date of this Lease or Tenant’s tangible net worth as of the day prior to the merger, as evidenced by such financial statements as Landlord may reasonably request. For purposes of this subsection, (i) “control” shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities by contract or otherwise, and ownership of the liabilities, losses, profits and tax benefits for such entity, and (ii) “tangible net worth” shall mean the excess of total assets over total liabilities (in each case, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) excluding from such determination any assets which would be classified as intangible assets under generally accepted accounting principles.

SECTION 11.2 LANDLORD’S CONSENT.

If Tenant desires to sublease or assign any portion of the Premises (excluding assignments or subleases to Affiliates), Tenant shall submit to Landlord in writing (a) the name of the proposed transferee, the nature of the proposed transferee’s business and, for proposed subleases, the portion of the Premises which Tenant desires to sublease (if the proposed sublease space is less than all of the Premises, such portion is herein referred to as the “Proposed Sublease Space”), (b) such financial information on the proposed transferee as is reasonably available, (c) a copy of the proposed form of sublease or assignment, or, at Tenant’s option, a letter of intent setting forth the material financial and other terms of the proposed transaction, and (d) such other information as Landlord may reasonably request (collectively, the “Required Transfer Information”). Landlord shall, within fourteen (14) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Required Transfer Information, deliver to Tenant a written notice (each such notice, a “Landlord Response”) in which Landlord either (i) consents to the proposed sublease or assignment, or (ii) withholds its consent to the proposed sublease or assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned so long as Landlord has received all Required Transfer Information. Landlord shall be deemed to have reasonably withheld its consent to any sublease or assignment if (A) Landlord determines that such transferee is not of the character or quality of a tenant to whom Landlord would generally lease space in the Building, (B) such proposed transferee fails to execute a consent document in form and of substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, or such proposed sublease or assignment is not in form and of substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (C) such sublease or assignment conflicts in any manner with this Lease, (D) the proposed transferee is a governmental entity, or the proposed transferee is a medical office that provides client or patient services, (E) the proposed transferee’s primary business is prohibited by any exclusive or non-compete clause then affecting the Building (but only to the extent same apply to the portion of the Building that includes the Premises), (F) the proposed transferee (or any affiliate of same) is an occupant of the Building (unless Landlord is unable to accommodate the additional space needs of such proposed transferee with an equal amount of contiguous space as required by such proposed transferee) or Landlord is negotiating with the proposed transferee to become a tenant in the Building (as evidenced by the exchange of written correspondence between Landlord and such proposed transferee or its broker or agent relating to the terms of a proposed lease transaction), (G) an uncured default exists under this Lease (after expiry of any applicable notice and cure period), (H) such assignment or sublease adversely affects the real estate investment trust (or pension fund) qualification tests (if any) applicable to Landlord or its affiliates, or (I) the proposed transferee is or has been involved in litigation with Landlord or its affiliates. The foregoing factors shall not be deemed to be the exclusive grounds for which Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent. If Landlord fails to timely provide a Landlord Response, then Landlord shall be deemed to have withheld its consent. In the event Landlord consents to a proposed sublease or assignment, such transfer shall not be effective unless and until (i) Tenant and the proposed transferee execute Landlord’s reasonable form of consent document, and (ii) Guarantor executes such documentation as Landlord may reasonably require to evidence Guarantor’s reaffirmation of its guaranty of this Lease, notwithstanding such assignment or sublease. Landlord shall from time to time advise Tenant of any exclusive or non-compete clauses then affecting the portion of the Building that includes Premises promptly following Tenant’s written request for such information. There are no such exclusive or non-compete clauses presently affecting the initial Premises, the Headway Space or the Expansion Space as of the Effective Date.

SECTION 11.3 LANDLORD’S RIGHTS RELATING TO ASSIGNEE OR SUBTENANT.

Without limiting Landlord’s consent rights and as a condition to obtaining Landlord’s consent, (i) each assignee must assume all obligations under this Lease arising from and after the effective date of its assumption of the Lease, and (ii) each sublessee must confirm that its sublease is subject and subordinate to this Lease. To the extent the rentals or income derived from any sublease or assignment (excluding any sublease or assignment to an Affiliate) exceed the rentals due hereunder, 50% of such excess rentals and income (after reimbursement of Tenant’s actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such sublease or assignment, and after deduction for the unamortized cost of any alterations or improvements made by Tenant to the Premises and the fair market value of any Tenant furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property included in any such sublease or assignment transaction) shall be the property of and paid over to Landlord as and when collected in consideration for

 

Renaissance Tower/ Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc.

 

25


Landlord’s consent to the applicable assignment or sublease. If the Premises or any part thereof are sublet, Landlord may at its option collect directly from such sublessee all rents becoming due to Tenant under such sublease and apply such rent against any sums due to Landlord by Tenant hereunder following any Tenant default which is continuing beyond applicable notice and cure periods. Tenant hereby authorizes and directs any such sublessee to make such payments of rent directly to Landlord upon receipt of notice from Landlord and Tenant agrees that any such payments made by a sublessee to Landlord shall, to the extent of the payments so made, be a full and complete release and discharge of rent owed to Tenant by such sublessee. No direct collection by Landlord from any assignee or sublessee shall be construed to constitute a novation or a release of Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant from the further performance of its obligations hereunder. Receipt by Landlord of rent from any assignee, sublessee or occupant of the Premises or any part thereof shall not be deemed a waiver of the above covenant in this Lease against assignment and subletting or a release of Tenant under this Lease. Amounts so collected by Landlord from any assignee or subtenant of Tenant shall be credited in full against the Rents due under this Lease, with any excess (subject to the foregoing profit split) being paid to Tenant promptly upon Landlord’s receipt of such amounts. In the event that, following an assignment or subletting, this Lease or the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder are terminated for any reason, including without limitation in connection with default by or bankruptcy of Tenant (which, for the purposes of this Section 11.3, shall include all persons or entities claiming by or through Tenant), Landlord may, at its sole option, consider this Lease to be thereafter a direct lease to the assignee or subtenant of Tenant upon the terms and conditions contained in this Lease; provided, however, that in no event shall any subtenant be obligated by the operation of such provision to pay any rental in excess of the rental reserved under its sublease with Tenant during the term of the sublease.

SECTION 11.4 ASSIGNMENT AND BANKRUPTCY.

11.401 Assignments after Bankruptcy.

If, pursuant to applicable bankruptcy law (as hereinafter defined), Tenant (or its successor in interest hereunder) is permitted to assign this Lease in disregard of the restrictions contained in this Article 11 (or if this Lease shall be assumed by a trustee for such person), the trustee or assignee shall cure any default under this Lease and shall provide adequate assurance of future performance by the trustee or assignee including (1) of the source of payment of Basic Annual Rent and performance of other obligations under this Lease (for which adequate assurance shall mean the deposit of cash security with Landlord in an amount equal to the sum of one (1) year’s Basic Annual Rent, Additional Rent and other Rent then reserved hereunder for the calendar year preceding the year in which such assignment is intended to become effective, which deposit shall be held by Landlord, without interest, for the balance of the Term as security for the full and faithful performance of all of the obligations under this Lease on the part of Tenant yet to be performed) and that any such assignee of this Lease shall have a net worth exclusive of good will, computed in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles, equal to at least ten (10) times the aggregate of the Basic Annual Rent reserved hereunder; and (2) that the use of the Premises shall be in accordance with the requirements of Article 3 hereof and, further, shall in no way diminish the reputation of the Building as a first-class office building or impose any additional burden upon the Building or increase the services to be provided by Landlord. If all defaults are not cured and such adequate assurance is not provided within sixty (60) days after there has been an order for relief under applicable bankruptcy law, then this Lease shall be deemed rejected, Tenant or any other person in possession shall vacate the Premises, and Landlord shall be entitled to retain any Basic Annual Rent, Additional Rent and any other Rent, together with any security deposit previously received from the Tenant, and shall have no further liability to Tenant or any person claiming through Tenant or any trustee.

11.402 Bankruptcy of Assignee.

If Tenant assigns this Lease to any party and such party or its successors or representatives causes termination or rejection of this Lease pursuant to applicable bankruptcy law, then, notwithstanding any such termination or rejection, Tenant (A) shall remain fully liable for the performance of all covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease, as though the assignment never occurred and (B) shall, without in any way limiting the foregoing, in writing ratify the terms of this Lease, as same existed immediately prior to the termination or rejection.

ARTICLE 12 — TRANSFERS BY LANDLORD, SUBORDINATION AND TENANT’S ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

SECTION 12.1 SALE OF THE PROPERTY.

In the event of any transfer of title to the Building, the transferor shall automatically be relieved and freed of all obligations of Landlord under this Lease accruing after such transfer, provided that (i) if a Security Deposit has been made by Tenant, Landlord shall not be released from liability with respect thereto unless Landlord transfers the Security Deposit to the transferee, and (ii) if the Reserve Amount has yet to be fully distributed in accordance with the terms of the Reserve Agreement, Landlord shall not be released from liability with respect thereto unless Landlord transfers its right, title and interest to the Reserve Amount to the transferee.

SECTION 12.2 SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND NOTICE.

This Lease is subject and subordinate to (i) any lease wherein Landlord is the tenant and to the liens of any and all mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust or other lien(s), regardless of whether such lease, mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust or other lien(s) now exist or may hereafter be created with regard to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Property, (ii) any and all advances (including interest thereon) to be made under any such lease, mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust or other lien(s) and (iii) all modifications, consolidations, renewals, replacements and extensions of any such lease, mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust or other lien(s); provided that the foregoing subordination in respect of any lease wherein Landlord is named as tenant made after the date hereof, or any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien placed on the Property after the date hereof shall not become effective until and unless the holder of same delivers to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (or in a form otherwise reasonably acceptable to Tenant, which may include Tenant’s agreement to attorn). Tenant also agrees that any lessor, mortgagee or trustee may elect (which election shall be revocable) to have this Lease superior to any lease or lien of its mortgage or deed of trust and, in the event of such election and upon notification by such lessor, mortgagee or trustee to Tenant to that effect, this Lease shall be deemed superior to the said lease, mortgage or deed of trust, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said lease, mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant shall, in the event of the sale or assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Premises (except in a sale-leaseback financing transaction), or in the event of the termination of any lease in a sale-leaseback financing transaction wherein Landlord is the lessee, attorn to and recognize such purchaser, assignee or mortgagee as Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall, in the event of any proceedings brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under, any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises, attorn to and recognize the purchaser at such sale, assignee or mortgagee, as the case may be, as Landlord under this Lease. The above subordination and attornment clauses shall be self-operative and no further instruments of subordination or attornment need be required by any mortgagee, trustee, lessor, purchaser or assignee. In confirmation thereof, Tenant agrees that, upon the request of Landlord, or any such lessor, mortgagee, trustee, purchaser or assignee, Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever instruments may be required for such purposes and to carry out the intent of this Section 12.2 provided same contain provisions reasonably acceptable to Tenant.

Landlord represents that the only mortgage or deed of trust currently affecting the Building or the parcel of the Land upon which the Building is constructed is a deed of trust with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Trustee for the Holders of Wachovia Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-C29 (the “Existing Mortgagee”). Tenant acknowledges its receipt of a fully executed subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G from the Existing Mortgagee. Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for any costs exceeding $1500 charged by the Existing Mortgagee or its counsel in connection with obtaining such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement.

(a) accrued Rent to the date of termination and Late Charges, plus interest thereon at the rate established under Section 15.10 below from the date due through the date paid or date of any judgment or award by any court of competent jurisdiction, the unamortized cost of any construction or refurbishment allowances, brokers’ fees and commissions, actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees, moving allowances and any other actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with making or executing this Lease, recovering the Premises or reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, actual and reasonable advertising costs, brokerage fees, leasing commissions, attorneys’ fees and refurbishing costs and other costs in readying the Premises for a new tenant (but excluding capital costs of refurbishment and readying the Premises unless reasonably required to put the Premises into the condition required upon surrender as set forth in Section 1.301); and

(b) the present value of the Rent (discounted at a rate of interest equal to eight percent [8%] per annum [the “Discount Rate”]) that would have accrued under this Lease for the balance of the Lease term but for such termination, reduced by the reasonable fair market rental value of the Premises for such balance of the Lease term (determined from the present value of the actual base rents, discounted at the Discount Rate, received and to be received from Landlord’s reletting of the Premises or, if the Premises are not relet, the base rents, discounted at the Discount Rate, that would be received from a comparable lease and comparable tenant for a comparable term and taking into account among other things, the condition of the Premises, market conditions and the period of time the Premises may reasonably remain vacant before Landlord is able to re-lease the same to a suitable replacement tenant).

13.202 Repossession and Re-Entry.

Upon the occurrence of a default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord may immediately terminate Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises (whereupon all obligations and liability of Landlord hereunder shall terminate), but not terminate this Lease, and, in accordance with any applicable judicial process, enter upon the Premises or any part thereof, take absolute possession of the same, expel or remove Tenant and any other person or entity who may be occupying the Premises and change the locks. If Landlord terminates Tenant’s possession of the Premises under this subsection 13.202, (i) Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to tender to Tenant a key for new locks installed in the Premises, and (ii) Tenant shall have no further right to possession of the Premises. Landlord may, however, at its sole option relet the Premises or any part thereof for such terms and such rents as Landlord may in its sole discretion elect (subject to Section 13.207). If Landlord elects to relet the Premises, rent received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord (in such order as Landlord shall designate), second, to the payment of any actual and reasonable cost of such reletting, including, without limitation, actual and reasonable refurbishing costs, attorneys’ fees, advertising costs, brokerage fees and leasing commissions and third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder (in such order as Landlord shall designate), and Tenant shall satisfy and pay to Landlord any deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time. No such re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such termination is given to Tenant pursuant to subsection 13.201 above. If Landlord relets the Premises, either before or after the termination of this Lease, all such rentals received from such lease shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and, subject to credit thereof to Tenant’s obligations hereunder, Tenant shall not be, at any time, entitled to recover any such rental. Landlord may at any time after a reletting elect to terminate this Lease.

13.203 Cure of Default.

Upon the occurrence of a default hereunder by Tenant, Landlord may, in accordance with any applicable judicial process, enter upon the Premises and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any actual, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses which Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action, whether caused by the negligence of Landlord or otherwise.

13.204 Continuing Obligations.

No repossession of or re-entering upon the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to subsection 13.202 or 13.203 above or otherwise and no reletting of the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to subsection 13.202 above shall relieve Tenant or any Guarantor of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such repossession or re-entering. In the event of any such repossession of or re-entering upon the Premises or any part thereof by reason of the occurrence of a default, Tenant will continue to pay to Landlord Rent required to be paid by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following any repossession of the Premises Landlord shall use any of the Premises for its own purposes, all Rent shall abate with respect to such portion of the Premises during the period Landlord shall so use such portion for its own purposes.

13.205 Cumulative Remedies.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy set forth herein or otherwise available to Landlord at Law or in equity and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity or by statute. In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease and without limiting the preceding sentence, Landlord shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to injunctive relief in case of the violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to a decree compelling performance of any of the covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to any other remedy allowed to Landlord at Law or in equity.

13.206 Limitation on Damages.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other provision of the Lease to the contrary, (i) in no event shall Tenant be liable to Landlord for special, punitive or exemplary damages whether by reason of a failure to perform (or a default) by Tenant hereunder or otherwise, (ii) Tenant’s liability for any “holdover” shall be limited to the extent set forth in Section 1.4, and (iii) Tenant shall have no liability to Landlord for any consequential damages that may be suffered by Landlord as a result of a monetary default by Tenant.

13.207 Mitigation of Damages.

Upon termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Premises, Landlord shall, but only to the extent required by applicable Law, use objectively reasonable efforts to mitigate damages by reletting the Premises. Landlord shall not be deemed to have failed to do so if Landlord refuses to lease the Premises to a prospective new tenant with respect to whom Landlord would be entitled to withhold its consent pursuant to Article 11, or who (1) is an Affiliate, parent or subsidiary of Tenant; (2) is not acceptable to any mortgagee of Landlord; (3) requires improvements to the Premises to be made at Landlord’s expense; or (4) is unwilling to accept lease terms then proposed by Landlord, including: (a) leasing for a shorter or longer term than remains under this Lease; (b) re-configuring or combining the Premises with other space, and/or (c) taking all or only a part of the Premises. Notwithstanding Landlord’s duty to mitigate its damages as provided herein, Landlord shall not be obligated (i) to give any priority to reletting Tenant’s space in connection with its leasing of space in the Building, or (ii) to accept below market rental rates for the Premises or any rate that would negatively impact the market rates for the Building. To the extent that Landlord is required by applicable Law to mitigate damages, Tenant must plead and prove by clear and convincing evidence that Landlord failed to so mitigate in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.207, and that such failure resulted in an avoidable and quantifiable detriment to Tenant.

SECTION 13.3 DEFAULTS BY LANDLORD.

Landlord shall be in default under this Lease if and only if Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and said failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers written notice thereof to Landlord (to each of the addresses required by this Section) and each mortgagee who has a lien against any portion of the Property and whose name and address has been provided to Tenant by written notice, provided that if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not be in default hereunder if the curative action is commenced within said thirty (30) day period and is thereafter diligently pursued until cured. In no event shall (i) Tenant claim a constructive or actual eviction or that the Premises have become unsuitable hereunder or (ii) a constructive or actual eviction or

breach of the implied warranty of suitability be deemed to have occurred under this Lease, prior to the expiration of the notice and cure periods provided under this Section 13.3. Any notice of a failure to perform by Landlord shall be sent to Landlord at the addresses and to the attention of the parties set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions. Any notice of a failure to perform by Landlord not sent to Landlord at all addresses and/or to the attention of all parties required under this Section and to each mortgagee who is entitled to notice (and whose address has been provided to Tenant by written notice) or not sent in compliance with Article 14 below shall be of no force or effect. Nothing set forth in this Section 13.3 shall diminish either Tenant’s rights to abatement of rent as provided for in Section 5.402.

SECTION 13.4 LANDLORD’S LIABILITY.

13.401 Tenant’s Rights in Respect of Landlord Default.

Tenant is granted no contractual right of termination by this Lease, except to the extent and only to the extent set forth in Articles 7 and 8 above. The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any breach or default under this Lease shall be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Property, and the rents, issues, profits and proceeds thereof, as the same may then be encumbered and Landlord shall not be personally liability for any deficiency. If Landlord is found to be in default hereunder by reason of its failure to give a consent that it is required to give hereunder, Tenant’s sole remedy will be an action for specific performance or injunction. The foregoing sentence shall in no event be construed as mandatorily requiring Landlord to give consents under this Lease. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for consequential or special damages by reason of a failure to perform (or a default) by Landlord hereunder. In no event shall Tenant have the right to levy execution against any property of Landlord other than its interest in the Property as hereinbefore expressly provided. Tenant hereby waives its statutory lien under Section 91.004 of the Texas Property Code.

13.402 Certain Limitations on Landlord’s Liability.

UNLESS CAUSED BY LANDLORD’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 7.4, LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO TENANT FOR ANY CLAIMS, ACTIONS, DEMANDS, COSTS, EXPENSES, DAMAGE OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND (i) arising out of the use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Premises by Tenant or any person therein or holding under Tenant or by or through the acts or omissions of any of their respective employees, officers, agents, invitees or contractors, (ii) caused by or arising out of fire, explosion, falling sheetrock, gas, electricity, water, rain, snow or dampness, or leaks in any part of the Premises, (iii) caused by or arising out of damage to the roof, pipes, appliances or plumbing works or any damage to or malfunction of heating, ventilation or air conditioning equipment, (iv) caused by tenants or any persons either in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building or by occupants of property adjacent to the Property or by the public or by the construction of any private, public or quasi-public work or (v) caused by any act, neglect or negligence of Tenant. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss of or damage to property of Tenant or of others located in the Premises, the Building or any other part of the Property by reason of theft or burglary.

SECTION 13.5 WAIVER OF CONSUMER RIGHTS.

TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ALL ITS RIGHTS UNDER THE TEXAS DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES—CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, SECTION 17.41 ET. SEQ. OF THE TEXAS BUSINESS AND COMMERCE CODE (THE “DTPA”), A LAW THAT GIVES CONSUMERS SPECIAL RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS. AFTER CONSULTATION WITH AN ATTORNEY OF TENANT’S OWN SELECTION, TENANT VOLUNTARILY CONSENTS TO THIS WAIVER.

Accordingly, Tenant’s rights and remedies with respect to the transactions contemplated under this Lease, and with respect to all acts or practices of Landlord, past, present or future, in connection with such transactions, shall be governed by legal principles other than the DTPA. The foregoing waiver by Tenant shall also be binding on any permitted assignee or successor of Tenant under this Lease. The provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of this Lease.

The delivery of the keys to any employee or agent of Landlord shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises. The acceptance of any Rent by Landlord following a breach of this Lease by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of such breach or any other breach.

No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of Rent due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest Rent due hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy which may be available to Landlord.

SECTION 15.6 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

Subject to Article 11 hereof, all of the covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

SECTION 15.7 BROKERS.

Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, excepting only Broker as indentified in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Provisions and that it knows of no other real estate brokers or agents who are or might be entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against, and to reimburse Landlord for and with respect to any liability or claim, whether meritorious or not, arising in respect to brokers and/or agents not so named who claim to be entitled to receive a commission or other compensation in connection with this Lease as a result of claimed dealings with Tenant. Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from and against, and to reimburse Tenant for and with respect to any liability or claim, whether meritorious or not, arising in respect to brokers and/or agents not so named who claim to be entitled to receive a commission or other compensation in connection with this Lease as a result of claimed dealings with Landlord. Landlord has agreed to pay a commission (the “Commission”) to Broker (but only Broker) to the extent that Landlord has agreed to do so pursuant to the terms and provisions of a commission agreement (the “Commission Agreement”) executed by and between Landlord and Broker on or before the effective date hereof, which agreement (if any) is incorporated herein by reference for the specific purposes set forth in Section 62.022(b) of the Texas Property Code.

The portion of the Commission payable with respect to that portion of the Term which precedes the last day of the 60th Lease Month shall be payable from the Reserve Account pursuant to Section 15.28 below. As to any remaining portion of the Commission, if Landlord fails to pay Broker all or any portion of same in accordance with the terms of the Commission Agreement and such failure is continuing for 60 days following Landlord’s receipt of a Commission Offset Notice (defined below), then Tenant shall be entitled to assume Landlord’s obligation to pay such unpaid commission, in which event Tenant may offset the amount of such unpaid Commission then payable by Landlord pursuant to the Commission Agreement from the next accruing installment(s) of Basic Rent payable by Tenant under the Lease (provided that, as a condition to such offset, Landlord receives a writing executed by Tenant and Broker in which (i) Tenant assumes such obligation, and (ii) Broker acknowledges same and releases Landlord from any further obligations under the Commission Agreement). The term “Commission Offset Notice” shall mean a written notice of Landlord’s failure to pay Broker any portion of the Commission (to the extent not payable from the Reserve Account) in accordance with the terms of the Commission Agreement, specifying the amount required to be paid and the date on which such payment was required. In order to be valid, the Commission Offset Notice must be captioned “OFFSET NOTICE” in capitalized boldface type, and contain the following statement in capitalized boldface type: “PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE BY LANDLORD TO PAY LEASING COMMISSIONS IN THE AMOUNT SET FORTH HEREIN MAY RESULT IN OFFSET OF BASIC RENT BY TENANT UNDER ITS LEASE WITH LANDLORD”. If Landlord in good faith disputes the Broker’s right to receive all or any portion of the remaining Commission, Landlord shall notify Tenant of such dispute, and the amount of the Commission which is in dispute, within the aforementioned 60 day period. Landlord’s notice (the “Commission Dispute Notice”) shall include a reasonably detailed description of the basis for Landlord’s dispute of its obligation to pay the remaining Commission or the disputed portion thereof to the Broker. If Landlord shall fail to timely deliver a Commission Dispute Notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have no right, as to Tenant, to dispute either Tenant’s payment of any disputed portion of the Commission or Tenant’s offset of same against the Basic Rent. If, however, Landlord shall timely deliver a Commission Dispute Notice to Tenant and Tenant shall nevertheless pay the disputed amount of the Commission or any portion thereof to the Broker and offset such payment against the Basic Rent, then (i) if Landlord shall then prevail in any dispute with Broker and/or Tenant (either pursuant a final court order or the parties’ voluntary agreement of settlement) concerning whether any of the disputed portion of the Commission was due and owing to the

35


Broker pursuant to the terms of the Commission Agreement, Tenant shall promptly repay to Landlord the amount of the offset which is equal to the disputed portion of the Commission that Landlord successfully challenged in its dispute with Tenant and/or the Broker, together with Landlord’s reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with such dispute, and (ii) if Tenant shall then prevail in any dispute with Landlord (either pursuant to a final court order or the parties’ voluntary agreement of settlement) concerning whether any of the disputed portion of the Commission was due and owing to the Broker pursuant to the terms of the Commission Agreement, Landlord shall promptly repay to Tenant its reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with such dispute.

SECTION 15.8 SEVERABILITY.

If any provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the court which makes that determination shall be asked to reform such provision to give effect to the parties’ intention and the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by Law.

SECTION 15.9 EXAMINATION OF LEASE.

Submission by Landlord of this instrument to Tenant for examination or signature does not constitute a reservation of or option for lease. This Lease will be effective as a lease or otherwise only upon execution by and delivery to both Landlord and Tenant.

SECTION 15.10 INTEREST ON OBLIGATIONS; CALCULATION OF CHARGES.

Any amount due from either party to the other which is not paid within thirty (30) days after the date due shall bear interest at the lower of (i) fifteen percent (15%) per annum or (ii) the highest rate from time to time allowed by applicable Law, from the date such payment is due until paid, but the payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure the default. Tenant (i) understands and accepts the methods of calculation for determining charges, amounts and additional rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, and (ii) waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law) all rights and benefits of Tenant under Section 93.012 (Assessment of Charges) of the Texas Property Code, as such section now exists or as it may be hereafter amended or succeeded.

SECTION 15.11 TIME.

Time is of the essence in this Lease and in each and all of the provisions hereof. Whenever a period of days is specified in this Lease, such period shall refer to calendar days unless otherwise expressly stated in this Lease.

With respect to any other portion of the Premises (if any) (the “Subject Space”), upon sixty (60) days advance written notice to Tenant (the “Relocation Notice”), Landlord shall have the right to relocate the Subject Space to other space in the Building (the “Substitute Space”) provided the Substitute Space (i) has substantially the same amenities and proportion of exterior window space as the Subject Space, and (ii) is equal in size or larger than the Subject Space. Landlord shall pay all actual and reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses of any such relocation, including the expenses of moving (inclusive of Tenant’s costs to relocate and install data and telephone equipment required for Tenant’s normal business operations), and Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, prior to the date Tenant is required to surrender the Subject Space, construct and finish the Substitute Space to substantially the same configuration and level of finish as the Subject Space. In the event of such relocation, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without any change in the terms or other conditions, except that the Substitute Space shall be the Subject Space.

SECTION 15.25 MONUMENT SIGNAGE.

All costs associated with the Monument Panel (including without limitation the design, fabrication, installation and maintenance thereof) shall be borne solely by Tenant. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease or of Tenant’s right to possess the Premises, Tenant’s rights pursuant to this Section shall terminate and Landlord may require that Tenant, at its sole cost, remove the Monument Panel and repair any damage caused by such removal. The rights of Tenant and the obligations of Landlord under this Section shall be subject to all applicable Laws, and any Landlord approval hereunder shall not constitute any representation or warranty that any proposed signage complies with same or is otherwise permitted thereunder. The rights set forth in this Section are personal to the Original Tenant or a successor Tenant who is an Affiliate and, absent Landlord’s prior written approval, shall not inure to the benefit of any other transferee of this Lease or of the Premises, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Lease (provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit a change necessitated by any Tenant name change). Tenant’s obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

SECTION 15.26 GENERATOR.

A. Subject to all applicable Laws, Tenant shall have the right to install, at its sole cost and expense, equipment to provide an uninterrupted power supply to the Premises on a 24 hour, 7 day per week basis (provided such equipment has been approved by Landlord, which approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In connection therewith, Tenant will have the right and option, but not the obligation, to locate an emergency generator (up to 1000 kW) and a fuel tank to power same in the initial location on the top level of the Garage as shown on Exhibit I attached hereto or such other location as Landlord may reasonably require (but such area shall not exceed three parking spaces). Tenant shall pay the prevailing monthly parking rate for reserved spaces in the Garage (as such rate may be adjusted from time to time) for any parking spaces utilized by Tenant in connection with its use of such space, which shall be payable in the same manner applicable to parking charges; provided that Tenant’s use of any such parking spaces shall not count against the parking spaces allotted to Tenant pursuant to Exhibit E attached hereto. Tenant shall additionally be entitled to reasonable use of the risers and chaises in the Garage and the Building, and in the connections between the two, to deliver all power produced by its emergency generator to the Premises. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that the top floor of the Garage is capable of carrying a load of at least 50 pounds per square foot. Such generator shall be screened from public view in a manner reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to require

39


Tenant, upon not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice (except in cases of emergency), to relocate such generator to another area reasonably suitable therefor, in which event Landlord shall reimburse Tenant within thirty (30) days after demand for its reasonable and actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in relocating such generator.

B. Unless and until such time as Tenant shall install an emergency power system pursuant to Section 15.26(A) above and such system being fully operational, Tenant shall, during the initial Term as set forth in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions, have the right to use up to one hundred and forty kilowatts (140kw) of the electricity generated by the existing auxiliary emergency generator located in the loading dock area of the Building or any replacement for such existing generator as Landlord may elect to install (such existing or replacement generator, the “Building Generator”) in situations when Tenant is not receiving electrical power to the Premises, subject to all applicable Laws and the following terms and conditions:

(1) With respect to any remaining Building Generator capacity (as same may become available), Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall be entitled to make such remaining capacity available for use by other occupants of the Building.

(2) On or before the Commencement Date, and on or before each anniversary of such date during the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance without notice or demand, an annual sum of $4,900.00 (the “Generator Rental”).

(3) Tenant shall bear any and all costs and expenses related to connecting the Premises to the Building Generator and the existing buss risers.

(4) No irregularity or stoppage of any electrical service from the Building Generator will create any liability for Landlord (including, without limitation, any liability for damages to Tenant’s personal property or business activities caused by any such irregularity or stoppage), and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for and holds Landlord harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, claims, demands, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) due to or arising out of the failure of the Building Generator to provide electricity.

(5) The rights set forth in this Section are personal to the Original Tenant and shall not inure to the benefit of any assignee, subtenant or other transferee of this Lease or of the Premises (excluding an assignment or sublease to an Affiliate). Tenant shall not permit the Building Generator to be used by others without Landlord’s prior written consent. Such consent, once obtained, shall not be a waiver of this covenant in its future application.

(6) Tenant reserves the right to discontinue its right to use the Building Generator upon sixty (60) days written notice to Landlord. Upon the effective date such usage right is discontinued, Landlord shall have no further obligations, and Tenant shall have no further rights, under this Section.

(7) At any time the Premises are not connected to the Building Generator, Landlord may notify Tenant in writing of its intent to terminate Tenant’s rights under this Section 15.26(B), and if Tenant fails to connect the Premises to the Building Generator within sixty (60) days after the date of such notice, then Landlord may terminate such rights.

(8) In the event Tenant elects to discontinue its right to use the Building Generator or Landlord elects to terminate such rights as provided in the preceding paragraph, Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant the unused portion of any prepaid Generator Rental, as prorated from the date on which Tenant disconnects the Premises from the Building Generator and any buss risers (or, if the Premises are not so connected, the date on which such election by Tenant or Landlord is made).

(9) At Landlord’s written request upon the earlier of (i) the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease or of Tenant’s right to possess the Premises, or (ii) the effective date of any election by

 

Renaissance Tower/ Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc.

 

40


Tenant to discontinue its right to use the Building Generator, Tenant shall promptly disconnect the Premises from the Building Generator and any buss risers. If Tenant fails to promptly perform said disconnection, Landlord may perform same at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such costs within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. From time to time during the Term, Landlord shall have the right to relocate the Building Generator at Landlord’s expense to another area reasonably suitable therefor.

(10) If (i) the Building Generator should fail to function properly, and (ii) in Landlord’s opinion, repairing the Building Generator is either not feasible or cost prohibitive, then upon Landlord’s written notice to Tenant of same, Landlord shall have no further obligations, and Tenant shall have no further rights, as to the Building Generator following the date of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord in its sole discretion elects to install a new Building Generator in replacement of a failed or obsolete Building Generator, then Tenant’s rights under this Section 15.26(B) shall be reinstated upon such installation.

SECTION 15.27 REFURBISHMENT ALLOWANCE.

Upon Tenant’s written request (a “Refurbishment Notice”), which must be received by Landlord not later than the last day of the 66th Lease Month, and provided no default by Tenant under the Lease then exists beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with a refurbishment allowance of up to $5.00 per square foot of the Agreed Rentable Area in the Premises (the “Refurbishment Allowance”). The Refurbishment Allowance shall (subject to the remaining provisions of this Section) be used solely to pay for design fees and hard construction costs for Installations Tenant elects to perform in the Premises after the expiration of the 52nd Lease Month but prior to the expiration of the 70th Lease Month (the “Refurbishment Work”). All such work shall be performed in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Lease (including without limitation Section 6.303 thereof). Tenant shall be required to utilize the Refurbishment Allowance (if at all) on or before the last day of the 70th Lease Month; Landlord shall have no obligation to advance any portion of the Refurbishment Allowance for alterations or improvements made after such date. Tenant shall repay to Landlord as Rent the Refurbishment Allowance in equal monthly installments computed by fully amortizing the Refurbishment Allowance over the period commencing on the first day of the 67th Lease Month and ending on the last day of the 126th Lease Month, at a per annum interest rate of ten percent (10%). Such monthly installments shall be payable without demand, deduction or offset on the same date that Basic Rent is payable. Such installments shall be payable retroactive to the first day of the 67th Lease Month, and Tenant shall pay any such retroactive installments promptly upon determination of the applicable payment amounts. Upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant agrees to execute a lease amendment prepared by Landlord that memorializes such additional Rent payments. Tenant’s delivery of a Refurbishment Notice to Landlord shall constitute Tenant’s waiver of its right to exercise the termination option set forth in Rider 4 to this Lease.

The Refurbishment Allowance shall (subject to the remaining provisions of this Section) be disbursed by Landlord from time to time, but no more than once monthly, with the first such disbursement being payable no sooner than the first day of the 67th Lease Month (notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein), in an amount equal to the invoices and/or statements submitted to Landlord and for which Tenant has not been previously reimbursed. Landlord shall make disbursements of the Refurbishment Allowance within thirty (30) days after receipt of (1) a request for reimbursement from Tenant setting forth the amount sought to be reimbursed and the approximate cost to complete construction of the Refurbishment Work, (2) acceptable invoices and statements supporting the amount requested by Tenant, (3) fully executed and acknowledged releases and waivers of liens and claims (to the extent of the Refurbishment Work theretofore performed) in form acceptable to Landlord, from each of Tenant’s Contractors (as defined in Section 3 of the Work Letter) and suppliers that is to receive any portion of the amount requested, and (4) any documentation required by Landlord in order to comply with Landlord’s mortgagee’s requirements or conditions to the funding of such disbursement by such mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be required to disburse (A) any amounts from the Refurbishment Allowance if any of Tenant’s Contractors or their respective subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen file or have given notice of intent to file a lien against the Premises and/or the Building which has not been bonded around or

 

Renaissance Tower/ Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc.

 

41


released in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.4 of the Work Letter, until the time of such bonding or release, or (B) the last installment of the Refurbishment Allowance unless and until Tenant provides Landlord final lien waivers (in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) executed by each of Tenant’s Contractors and their respective subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen, releasing and waiving all contractual, statutory and constitutional liens and security interests that they may have against the Premises, the Building, Tenant or Landlord arising out of or relating to the construction or design of the Refurbishment Work.

Time is of the essence in any exercise by Tenant of its rights under this Section.

SECTION 15.28 RESERVE ACCOUNT.

Within ten (10) days after the Effective Date of this Lease, Landlord shall deposit the amount of $3,518,261.78 (the “Reserve Amount”) into a segregated interest-bearing reserve account (the “Reserve Account”) held by Landlord’s existing mortgagee (“Lender”), which Reserve Amount shall be held for the benefit of Tenant pursuant to a reserve agreement entered into simultaneously with this Lease, by and among Landlord, Tenant and Lender (the “Reserve Agreement”). The Reserve Agreement shall provide for the direct payment to Broker of the portion of the Commission (such portion, the “Fully Earned Commission”) payable under the Commission Agreement with respect to the portion of the term preceding the last day of the 60th Lease Month, and for the direct payment of the Finish Allowance (as defined in Section 2.1 of the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit C) to Tenant from the Reserve Account, upon satisfaction of all of the conditions and requirements for such payment set forth in this Lease or the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit C, as applicable. Landlord agrees to submit to Lender any application for a payment within seven (7) days after receipt of the same. If (A) Landlord fails to timely deposit all or any portion of the Reserve Amount, (B) Landlord fails to timely submit an application for a payment to Lender, or (C) Lender fails to release any payment to the appropriate payee within thirty (30) days after satisfaction of all of the conditions and requirements for such payment, then Tenant shall deliver written notice of such failure to Landlord and Lender. Landlord and/or Lender, as the case may be, will have seven (7) days after receipt of such written notice to cure such failure, failing which Tenant shall, as Tenant’s sole remedy for such failure (but subject to the last sentence of this Section), have the right to (i) offset the amount of the Finish Allowance then due and payable to Tenant from the next accruing installment(s) of Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under the Lease until the entire amount owed to Tenant as a result of such failure has been fully credited to Tenant, and (ii) offset the unpaid amount of the Fully-Earned Commission then payable by Landlord from the next accruing installment(s) of Basic Rent payable by Tenant under the Lease (provided that, as a condition to such offset, Landlord receives a writing executed by Tenant and Broker in which (i) Tenant assumes the obligation to pay the remaining unpaid amount of the Fully-Earned Commission to Broker, and (ii) Broker acknowledges same and releases Landlord from any further obligations under the Commission Agreement with respect to the Fully-Earned Commission only). In addition to Tenant’s other remedies set forth herein, in the event that Landlord fails to deposit the Reserve Amount in the Reserve Account within ten (10) days after the Effective Date of this Lease, then this Lease shall terminate if (i) within ten (10) days after the expiration of such ten day period, Tenant gives written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate this Lease (time being of the essence with respect to such notice) and (ii) Landlord fails to deposit the Reserve Amount in the Reserve Account within ten (10) days after the date of such notice from Tenant (time being of the essence with respect to same).

1.2 Design Process. Prior to the commencement of any construction work in the Premises:

 

  (a) Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Design Professional, at Tenant’s expense, to prepare and deliver to Landlord for approval a space plan for the portion of the Premises in which Tenant’s Improvements are to be constructed. Landlord will approve or disapprove in writing the space plan, which written approval or disapproval shall be given within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the space plan. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of the space plan or any revised space plan. If disapproved, Landlord shall provide Tenant with specific reasons for disapproval sufficient to enable Tenant’s Design Professional to draft a space plan meeting Landlord’s approval, and Tenant shall cause the Design Professional to revise and resubmit same to Landlord for approval. Landlord will approve or disapprove in writing the revised space plan within seven (7) days after receipt of same. The foregoing process shall be repeated if necessary until Landlord has approved the space plan (such space plan, when approved by Landlord, is herein referred to as the “Space Plan”).

 

  (b) Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Design Professional, at Tenant’s expense, to prepare and deliver to Landlord for approval construction plans and specifications consistent with the Space Plan, which shall include complete sets of detailed architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings (the “Proposed Construction Drawings”).

Within fourteen (14) days after receipt, Landlord shall either approve the Proposed Construction Drawings or notify Tenant of the item(s) of the Proposed Construction Drawings that Landlord disapproves and the reason(s) therefor (with items not disapproved being deemed approved). If Landlord disapproves the Proposed Construction Drawings, Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Design Professional to revise and resubmit same to Landlord for approval (the “Revised Construction Drawings”).

In consideration of Landlord overseeing the construction of Tenant’s Improvements, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord a fee equal to one percent (1%) of the sum of the Contract Sum and the Planning Fees (the “Construction Management Fee”). The Construction Management Fee shall be paid to Landlord monthly on the basis of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the percentage of Tenant’s Improvements completed at the time of the payment. The Finish Allowance shall (subject to the remaining provisions of this Section) be disbursed from the Reserve Account (as defined in Section 15.28 of the Lease) from time to time (but no more than once monthly), in an amount equal to the invoices and/or statements submitted to Landlord and for which Tenant has not been previously reimbursed.

Renaissance Tower/ Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc.

 


foregoing, Landlord shall not be required (A) to authorize disbursements from the Reserve Account if any of Tenant’s Contractors or their respective subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen file or have given notice of intent to file a lien against the Premises and/or the Building which has not been bonded around or released in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.4 below, until the time of such bonding or release, or (B) to authorize disbursements from the Reserve Account for the last installment of the Finish Allowance unless and until Tenant provides Landlord final lien waivers (in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) executed by each of Tenant’s Contractors and their respective subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen, releasing and waiving all contractual, statutory and constitutional liens and security interests that they may have against the Premises, the Building, Tenant or Landlord arising out of or relating to the construction or design of the Tenant’s Improvements.

2.2 Excess Costs. If the sum of the Permitted Costs exceeds the Finish Allowance, then Tenant shall pay all such excess costs (“Excess Costs”) on or before the earlier of the date on which same are due or the date on which Tenant begins business operations in the Premises, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to withhold payment if Tenant is contesting same (but subject to Section 2.4 below).

2.3 Construction. Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Contractors to perform all work required to complete Tenant’s Improvements in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with good industry practice and in accordance with the approved Construction Drawings (“Tenant’s Work”).

The costs of any permits and/or inspections required in connection with, or as a prerequisite to, the construction and/or completion of Tenant’s Work shall be obtained by Tenant at Tenant’s expense. Landlord shall have the right to review, inspect and comment upon all portions of the construction of the Tenant’s Improvements that tie into the base Building mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and structural elements or other areas of the Building, as well as all other aspects of the construction of the Tenant’s Improvements, but any such review, inspection and comments shall be strictly for Landlord’s own purposes and shall not impose upon Landlord any express or implied duty to Tenant or any third party with respect to the Tenant’s Improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of the Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant or Tenant’s Contractors be required to correct any non-compliance with applicable Laws in areas outside of the Premises unless such non-compliance condition was caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s Contractors. If any such non-compliance condition for which Tenant or Tenant’s Contractors are not responsible is required to be corrected in order for Tenant or Tenant’s Contractors to secure any permit or other approval of governmental authorities exercising jurisdiction required to complete Tenant’s Work or in order for Tenant to lawfully occupy and use the Premises for the Permitted Use, Landlord at its sole cost and expense shall promptly correct such non-compliance condition upon Tenant’s delivery of notice of same.

2.4 Liens Arising from Tenant’s Improvements. Tenant agrees to keep the Premises free from any liens arising out of nonpayment of construction costs for Tenant’s Improvements. In the event that any such lien is filed and Tenant, within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of notice of such filing fails to cause same to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause the same to be released by such means as it in its sole discretion deems proper, including payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to such lien.

Storage of construction materials, tools, equipment and debris shall be confined within the Premises. If, at any time, anyone performing construction work on behalf of Tenant shall cause disharmony or interference with anyone performing construction work in the Building on behalf of Landlord or otherwise, Landlord may, upon twenty-four (24) hours written notice to Tenant, require Tenant to remove from the Premises and from the Building any person or persons performing construction work on behalf of Tenant causing such disharmony or interference. Persons performing construction work on behalf of Tenant shall not be deemed to be causing any such disharmony or interference solely by reason of the fact that such persons or their employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors or representatives shall not belong to a national or local union or other employee organization. Subject to Section 7.4 of the Lease Supplement Provisions, Tenant shall be liable for any

 

Renaissance Tower/ Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc.

Subject to the Building’s Rules and Regulations, Tenant’s Contractors shall be allowed to utilize power within the Premises and the freight dock and freight elevator (subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval of scheduling thereof), as necessary and required in connection with Tenant’s Work in the Premises at no charge.

2.6 Final Plans. Upon substantial completion of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord one set of the as-built plans and specifications for the Premises in AutoCAD or compatible format.

2.7 Unused Allowance. Tenant may apply any unused portion of the Finish Allowance (but not to exceed, in the aggregate, $2.50 per square foot of Agreed Rentable Area within the Premises) to reduce Basic Rent payable under the terms of the Lease beginning in the 7th Lease Month. Additionally, any unused portion of the Finish Allowance not applied to reduce Basic Rent in accordance with the preceding sentence shall remain available to Tenant for application to any Permitted Costs associated with any expansion of the Premises pursuant to Rider 2 to the Lease so long as such Permitted Costs are incurred within twelve (12) months following Substantial Completion of Tenant’s Improvements hereunder (with any unused portion of the Finish Allowance thereafter remaining being forfeited).

2.8 VAV Boxes. All existing VAV boxes serving the Premises will comply with applicable legal requirements and be in good working order and condition upon Landlord’s delivery of the Premises to Tenant. Landlord, at Landlord’s sole expense and not to be deducted from the Finish Allowance, shall perform any repairs required to bring such existing VAV boxes into the foregoing specified condition upon such delivery.

2.9 ASHRAE 62.1-2004. If prior to commencement of Tenant’s Work Tenant’s MEP contractor, Schmidt & Stacy, or such replacement MEP contractor as Tenant shall select and shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord, reasonably determines that the existing duct bringing outside air to the Premises is insufficient to comply with ASHRAE 62.1-2004, then Landlord shall, in addition to the Finish Allowance, contribute up to $20,000 toward the reasonable cost of modifying such duct and/or adding a duct to achieve compliance with ASHRAE 62.1-2004. Such Landlord contribution shall be a one-time contribution with respect to the initial Premises only, and no contribution of any kind shall be made by Landlord for such purposes in connection with any future expansions, whether pursuant to Rider 2 or otherwise.

2.10 Test Fit. Landlord has paid Corgan Associates $0.10 per Agreed Rentable Area of the Premises in connection with Tenant’s preliminary test plan of the Premises. Further, Landlord will reimburse Tenant for up to $2,500 of the cost of the engineering study performed by Corgan Associates and Schmidt & Stacy following the Effective Date and Landlord’s receipt of third-party invoices and paid receipts for such costs incurred by Tenant.

2.11 Multi-Tenant Corridor. To the extent required by the City of Dallas in connection with Tenant’s construction of Tenant’s Improvements, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole expense and not to be deducted from the Finish Allowance, construct such demising walls as are necessary to construct a public corridor so as to convert the 5th floor to a multi-tenant floor.

3. Tenant’s Contractors.

Tenant’s construction of Tenant’s Improvements shall be done in accordance with, and subject to, the following:

 

  (a) Tenant shall use only such contractors which Landlord shall approve in its reasonable discretion and Landlord shall have approved the plans to be utilized by Tenant, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and

Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage to any of Tenant’s installations or decorations made prior to the Commencement Date and not installed by Landlord unless resulting from the gross negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors (subject to Section 7.4 of the Lease Supplement Provisions).

PARKING

 

1. Parking Spaces.

A. Tenant shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to rent during the Term of the Lease (i) up to five (5) parking spaces in the Garage on a reserved basis (the “Reserved Spaces”), and (ii) up to fifteen (15) parking spaces in the Garage on an unreserved and non-exclusive basis (the “Unreserved Spaces”). Tenant’s election to rent any or all of the Reserved Spaces shall be made in writing to Landlord no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the date on which Tenant desires to rent same, and Tenant’s election to rent any or all of the Unreserved Spaces shall be made in writing to Landlord no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which Tenant desires to rent same. Similarly, Tenant may elect to discontinue renting any Reserved Space or Unreserved Space (but only after Tenant has rented such space for at least six months) by giving Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) following any election by Tenant to discontinue renting any of such Reserved Spaces or Unreserved Spaces, Landlord shall have no further obligations, and Tenant shall have no further rights, with respect to such Reserved Spaces or Unreserved Spaces that Tenant elects to discontinue renting, except that if Tenant later gives Landlord written notice that it desires to rent some or all of the discontinued Reserved Spaces or Unreserved Spaces and some or all of such spaces are then available for rent, Landlord shall make available and rent the available spaces to Tenant (up to the amount requested by Tenant), and (ii) as of the first day of the 25th Lease Month, Landlord shall have no further obligations, and Tenant shall have no further rights, with respect to any such spaces that Tenant has not elected to rent prior to such date, provided that if Tenant thereafter gives Landlord notice that it desires to rent some or all of such spaces and some or all of such spaces are then available for rent, Landlord shall make available and rent the available spaces to Tenant (up to the amount requested by Tenant). In determining whether any parking space is “available for rent,” as used in this Exhibit, Landlord shall be entitled to consider both its current and anticipated parking needs for the Building.

B. In addition to the Reserved Spaces and the Unreserved Spaces, Tenant shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to rent during the Term of the Lease, on an unreserved and non-exclusive basis, one parking space in the Garage per each 1,600 square feet of Adjusted Agreed Rentable Area in the Premises (such additional parking spaces, the “Discretionary Spaces”). The term “Adjusted Agreed Rentable Area in the Premises” shall mean the Agreed Rentable Area in the Premises, less 32,000 square feet (as determined from time to time). Tenant’s election to rent any or all of the Discretionary Spaces shall be made in writing to Landlord no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which Tenant desires to rent same. Similarly, Tenant may elect to discontinue renting any Discretionary Space (but only after Tenant has rented such Discretionary Space for at least six months) by giving Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) following any election by Tenant to discontinue renting any of such Discretionary Spaces, Landlord shall have no further obligations, and Tenant shall have no further rights, with respect to such Discretionary Spaces that Tenant elects to discontinue renting, except that if Tenant later gives Landlord written notice that it desires to rent some or all of the discontinued Discretionary Spaces and some or all of such spaces are then available for rent, Landlord shall make available and rent the available spaces to Tenant (up to the amount requested by Tenant), and (ii) as of the first day of the 25th Lease Month, Landlord shall have no further obligations, and Tenant shall have no further rights, with respect to any Discretionary Spaces that Tenant has not elected to rent prior to such date, provided that if Tenant thereafter gives Landlord notice that it desires to rent some or all of such spaces and some or all of such spaces are then available for rent, Landlord shall make available and rent the available spaces to Tenant (up to the amount requested by Tenant).

C. In addition to the Reserved Spaces, the Unreserved Spaces and the Discretionary Spaces, Tenant shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to rent during the Term of the Lease, on an unreserved and non-exclusive basis, up to 150 permits for parking spaces in the Garage available solely for Late Night Use (the “Late Night Permits”). The term “Late Night Use” shall mean use permitted only during the period beginning at 10:00 p.m. each evening and ending at 7:30 a.m. the following morning. Use of the Late Night Permits shall be restricted to parking spaces located on the top five levels of the Garage. Landlord

 

Renaissance Tower/ Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc.


shall be entitled to require that any person using a Late Night Permit display a vehicle window sticker or other identification supplied by Landlord in order to permit Landlord to monitor the use of the Late Night Permits. Tenant’s election to rent any Late Night Permits shall be made in writing to Landlord no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which Tenant desires to rent same. Similarly, Tenant may elect to discontinue renting any of such Late Night Permits (but only after Tenant has rented such Late Night Permit for at least six months) by giving Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice.

 

2. Parking Rental. The rent for such parking spaces shall be the rate from time to time designated by Landlord or Landlord’s garage operator as standard for the Building. On the execution date of the Lease, the monthly parking rental rates in the Garage are as follows: $160 (plus applicable taxes) for each unreserved parking space, and $250 (plus applicable taxes) for each reserved parking space. Landlord or Landlord’s garage operator shall provide Tenant at least thirty (30) days notice of any change in the parking rates at the Garage and the giving of such notice shall be deemed an amendment to this Exhibit and Tenant shall thereafter pay the adjusted rent. All payments of rent for parking spaces shall be made (i) at the same time as Basic Monthly Rent is due under the Lease and (ii) to Landlord or to such persons (for example but without limitation, the manager of the Garage) as Landlord may direct from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Tenant is not in monetary default under the Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, (i) 50% of the rent for the Reserved Spaces shall be abated for the first eighteen (18) Lease Months, (ii) 50% of the rent for the Unreserved Spaces shall be abated for the first six (6) Lease Months, and (iii) rent for each Late Night Permit shall be at 50% of the then-standard Building rate for unreserved parking spaces. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if the vehicle of any Late Night Permit holder (i) is present in the Garage at any time between the hours of 7:31 a.m. and 9:59 p.m., or (ii) is parked in a parking space located below the top five levels of the Garage, then, for each such permit for the month in which such violation occurs, Tenant shall be charged 125% of the then-standard monthly charge for unreserved parking in the Garage. Tenant shall pay Landlord for any such increased parking charges within thirty (30) days after receiving a written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable proof of such violation.

 

3. Parking Cards/Devices. Landlord will provide Tenant with an access card or other form of access device for each parking space to which Tenant is entitled. Parking cards or any other access device or form of identification supplied by Landlord shall remain the property of Landlord and shall not be transferable. There will be a reasonable replacement charge payable by Tenant equal to the amount posted from time to time by Landlord for loss of any parking card or other form of access device issued by Landlord.

 

4. Validation. Tenant may validate visitor parking, by such method or methods as Landlord or the operator of the Garage may approve, at the validation rate from time to time generally applicable to visitor parking. Landlord shall invoice Tenant for the parking rent generated through Tenant’s validations, and Tenant shall pay same by the date on which its next Basic Monthly Rent payment is due (provided that if Tenant receives Landlord’s invoice less than thirty (30) days before such payment is due, then Tenant’s payment for such charges shall be due on the date on which the following Basic Monthly Rent payment is due). Landlord expressly reserves the right to reasonably redesignate parking areas and to modify the parking structure for other uses or to any extent.

 

5. Damage to or Condemnation of Garage. If Landlord fails or is unable to provide any parking space to Tenant in the Garage because of damage or condemnation, such failure or inability shall never be deemed to be a default by Landlord as to permit Tenant to terminate the Lease, either in whole or in part, but Tenant’s obligation to pay rent for any such parking space which is not provided by Landlord shall be abated for so long as Tenant does not have the use of such parking space and such abatement shall constitute full settlement of all claims that Tenant might otherwise have against Landlord by reason of such failure or inability to provide Tenant with such parking space. In no event shall Landlord reduce the number of Reserved Spaces available to Tenant unless the damage or condemnation shall reduce the available parking spaces in the Garage to a number that is below the total number of reserved spaces provided to tenants in the Building. In such event, Landlord shall reduce Tenant’s access to Reserved Spaces in such percentage as is equivalent to the percentage reduction in each other Building tenant’s access to its previously leased reserved spaces.

 

Renaissance Tower/ Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc.


6. Rules and Regulations. A condition of any parking shall be compliance by the parker with Landlord’s reasonable rules and regulations, including any sticker or other identification system reasonably established by Landlord. Garage managers or attendants are not authorized to make or allow any exceptions to these Rules and Regulations. The following rules and regulations are in effect until notice is given to Tenant of any change. Landlord reserves the right to modify and/or adopt such other reasonable and generally applicable rules and regulations for the Garage as it reasonably deems necessary for the operation of the Garage; provided, however, that in no event may Landlord enact or enforce such rules and regulations against Tenant in a discriminatory manner.

 

  (a) Cars must be parked entirely within the stall lines painted on the floor.

 

  (b) All directional signs and arrows must be observed.

 

  (c) The speed limit shall be five (5) miles per hour.

 

  (d) Parking is prohibited in areas not striped for parking, aisles, areas where “no parking” signs are posted, in cross hatched areas and in such other areas as may be designated by Landlord or Landlord’s agent(s) including, but not limited to, areas designated as “Visitor Parking” or reserved spaces not rented under this Exhibit.

 

  (e) Every parker is required to park and lock his own car. All responsibility for damage to cars or persons or loss of personal possessions is assumed by the parker.

 

  (f) Spaces which are designated for small, intermediate or full-sized cars shall be so used. No intermediate or full-size cars shall be parked in parking spaces limited to compact cars.

 

7. Default. Failure to promptly pay the rent required hereunder shall constitute a default under the Lease. Landlord may refuse to permit any person who routinely violates the rules to park in the Garage, as evidenced by notes of such violations, copies of which shall be promptly submitted to Tenant, and any violation of the rules shall subject the car to removal at the car owner’s expense. No such refusal or removal shall create any liability on Landlord or be deemed to interfere with Tenant’s right to quiet possession of the Premises.

In the event of any conflict between these Rules and Regulations and the Lease of which they are a part, the Lease shall control.

RENEWAL OPTION

 

A. If, and only if, on the date Tenant notifies Landlord of its intention to renew the term of the Lease (as provided below), (i) Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond applicable notice and curative periods, and (ii) the Lease is in full force and effect, then Tenant, but not any assignee or subtenant of Tenant (other than an assignee that is an Affiliate), shall have and may exercise an option to renew the Lease for one (1) additional term of five (5) years (the “Renewal Term”) upon the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease with the exceptions that (x) the Lease shall not be further available for renewal, and (y) the rental for the Renewal Term shall be the “Renewal Rental Rate”. The Renewal Rental Rate is hereby defined to mean the rate (or rates) a willing tenant would pay and a willing landlord would accept for a comparable transaction (i.e., a renewal in comparable space and in a comparable building) as of the commencement date of the applicable term, neither being under any compulsion to lease and both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, for the uses permitted hereunder if offered for lease in the open market with a reasonable period of time in which to consummate a transaction. In calculating the Renewal Rental Rate, all relevant factors will be taken into account, including without limitation the location and quality of the Building, lease term, amenities of the Property, condition of the space, and finish allowances and base year applicable to the Renewal Rental Rate as set forth above, rent being charged in other first-class office buildings located in Dallas for leases then being entered into for space comparable to the Premises; location, quality, amenities, age and reputation of the buildings in which the space being compared is located; use and size of the space under comparison; location and/or floor level of the subject space and any comparison space within their respective buildings, including view, elevator lobby exposure, etc.; extent of services provided or to be provided; extent and condition of leasehold improvements in the subject space and in any comparison space; abatements pertaining to the subject space and to any comparison space; inclusion of parking charges in rental, if applicable; lease takeovers/assumptions by the landlord of the comparison space, if applicable; moving allowances granted, if any in connection with the subject space and with respect to any comparison space; relocation allowances granted, if any in connection with the subject space and with respect to any comparison space; construction, refurbishment and repainting allowances granted, if any in connection with the subject space and with respect to any comparison space; any other concessions or inducements in connection with the subject space and with respect to any comparison space; and differences, if any, between the brokerage commissions payable for a renewal of the Premises as compared to the brokerage commissions or the comparison premises.

 

B.

If Tenant desires to renew the Lease, Tenant must notify Landlord in writing of its intention to renew on or before the date which is at least nine (9) months but no more than twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date. Landlord shall, within the next sixty (60) days, notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s determination of the Renewal Rental Rate (“Landlord’s Initial Determination”) and Tenant shall, within the next thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord’s Initial Determination, notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s acceptance or rejection of Landlord’s Initial Determination. If Tenant timely notifies Landlord of Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s Initial Determination, the Lease shall be extended as provided herein and Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to the Lease to reflect the extension of the term and changes in Rent in accordance with this Rider 1. If Tenant timely notifies Landlord in writing of Tenant’s rejection of Landlord’s Initial Determination, then Landlord and Tenant may agree to meet within the thirty (30) day period following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s rejection notice in an attempt to reach agreement on the Renewal Rental Rate. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on the Renewal Rental Rate within such thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall, by written notice to Landlord given prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, elect either to (x) rescind its election to renew the Lease, in which case the Lease shall end on the then-current Expiration Date and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligation or liability under this Rider, or (y) submit the determination of the Renewal Rental Rate to arbitration in accordance with Section C below (with Tenant’s failure to (i) specifically elect arbitration or (ii) timely provide notice of its election to be construed as its election to rescind its election to renew). If Tenant fails to timely notify Landlord of Tenant’s acceptance or rejection of Landlord’s Initial Determination, then Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected Landlord’s Initial Determination and elected to rescind its election to renew. Any purported acceptance by Tenant of Landlord’s Initial Determination that contains any conditions or qualifications shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s rejection of Landlord’s

 

Renaissance Tower/ Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc.


  Initial Determination. Furthermore, if Tenant is in default beyond the expiration of all applicable cure periods under the Lease as of the Expiration Date of the then-current term, then Tenant’s rights and Landlord’s obligations under this Rider shall be voidable at the option of Landlord.

 

C. Within fifteen (15) days following receipt of a notice of the submission for determination of the Renewal Rental Rate through arbitration, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint an arbitrator (collectively, the “Arbitrators”) and notify the other party of such appointment. Within twenty (20) days following such notice of the Arbitrators, Landlord and Tenant shall submit to the Arbitrators their respective assessments of the Renewal Rental Rate for the Renewal Term, together with the supporting data that was used to calculate such assessments (provided that the assessment submitted to the Arbitrators by Landlord shall not exceed Landlord’s Initial Determination). Within twenty (20) days after such submission to the Arbitrators, each of the Arbitrators shall select the assessment (i.e., either Landlord’s assessment or Tenant’s assessment) which is closest to such Arbitrator’s determination of the Renewal Rental Rate for the Renewal Term, which assessment shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant. If the Arbitrators are unable to agree upon an assessment within such time period, then they shall, within another ten (10) days, select a third Arbitrator (or if they cannot agree on the selection of a third Arbitrator, the American Arbitration Association shall so select). The third Arbitrator, using all of the information provided to the initial Arbitrators, as well as any additional analyses or data compiled or prepared by the initial Arbitrators, shall then select the assessment (i.e., either Landlord’s assessment or Tenant’s assessment) which is closest to such Arbitrator’s determination of the Renewal Rental Rate for the Renewal Term, which assessment shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant. The cost of the Arbitrator selected by Landlord shall be paid by Landlord, the cost of the Arbitrator selected by Tenant shall be paid by Tenant, and the cost of third Arbitrator shall be borne by the party whose assessment is not selected. If Tenant has exercised the right to extend the Term and the Renewal Rental Rate for the Renewal Term has not been determined by the time Rent for the Renewal Term is scheduled to begin, then Tenant shall pay Rent for the Renewal Term in accordance with the Rent in effect immediately prior to the Renewal Term until such time as the Renewal Rental Rate for the Renewal Term has been determined, at which time appropriate cash payments shall be promptly made by Landlord or Tenant such that Tenant is charged Rent based on the Renewal Rental Rate for the Renewal Term during the interval in question. Each Arbitrator shall (i) be a real estate broker or leasing agent licensed under the laws of the State of Texas, (ii) have been actively engaged in leasing transactions involving in the aggregate more than 500,000 square feet of rentable area of office space in Dallas, Texas (of which at least 250,000 shall have been in the Dallas central business district) over the immediately preceding fifteen (15) year period, and (iii) have general experience and competence in determining market rates for office space comparable to the Premises. In addition, the third Arbitrator shall have not represented either Landlord or Tenant during the preceding fifteen year period. In no event shall any of the Arbitrators have an economic interest in the final determination of the Renewal Rental Rate. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and non-appealable, shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction in Dallas County, Texas. All information produced by the parties in arbitration shall remain confidential and shall not be made part of any public record. Neither party shall make any public announcement of the outcome of arbitration until both parties have agreed upon the terms of such press release or other public announcement. Within twenty (20) days after the Arbitrators’ determination of the Renewal Rental Rate, Landlord and Tenant will enter into an amendment to the Lease prepared by Landlord, in form reasonably acceptable to Tenant, to reflect the extension of the term and Renewal Rental Rate determined in accordance with this Rider.

 

  D. Time is of the essence in any exercise by Tenant of its rights under this Rider.

RIDER 2

EXPANSION OPTION

A. FIRST EXPANSION OPTION – HEADWAY SPACE

1. Subject to the terms of this Rider, Tenant shall have the option (the “First Expansion Option”) to lease that portion of the 5th floor of the Building containing 14,826 square feet of Agreed Rentable Area, as more particularly identified on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Headway Space”). Tenant shall exercise the First Expansion Option, if at all, by delivering written notice of such exercise on or before the last day of the 22nd Lease Month (such notice, the “First Expansion Notice”). Tenant shall be required to lease all of the Headway Space if it elects to exercise the First Expansion Option. If Tenant fails to exercise the First Expansion Option in the manner set forth in this Rider, the First Expansion Option shall expire and be of no further force or effect.

2. The Headway Space shall be leased to Tenant upon all terms and conditions of the Lease with the following exceptions:

(a) The Basic Annual Rent for the applicable Headway Space will be equal to the product of the Basic Annual Rent per square foot of Agreed Rentable Area applicable to the Premises (at the then applicable Basic Annual Rent rate) under Item 3 of the Basic Lease Provisions, multiplied by the Agreed Rentable Area of the Headway Space as set forth above, with such Basic Rent increasing from time to time in accordance with the increases in Basic Rent applicable to the remainder of the Premises.

(b) The Headway Space shall be delivered to Tenant in “as is” condition. Tenant shall be entitled to a finish allowance equal to the product of (i) $42.00, multiplied by (ii) the number of square feet of Agreed Rentable Area in the Headway Space, multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full Lease Months that remain in the initial Term from and after the date Basic Rent commences with respect to the Applicable Expansion Space and the denominator of which is 126.3 Such finish allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord substantially in accordance with the disbursement procedures applicable to the Refurbishment Allowance as set forth in Section 15.27 of the Lease.

(c) Basic Monthly Rent for the Headway Space will be equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Basic Annual Rent for the Headway Space.

Tenant’s improvements to the Headway Space shall be deemed to be substantially completed on the date that (i) such improvements have been completed other than for minor finish details or mechanical adjustment, the incompletion of which shall not interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Headway Space for the Permitted Use and (ii) Tenant shall have obtained all permits and approvals of governmental authorities exercising jurisdiction required for Tenant to lawfully occupy and use the Headway Space for the Permitted Use.

The caps set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.6 of the Work Letter with respect to the portion of the Finish Allowance that shall be available for Cabling Costs, Moving Costs and FF&E Costs or that may be applied to reduce Basic Rent shall also apply to the finish allowance to be provided for the Headway Space, provided that such caps shall be proportionately reduced commensurate with the proportionate reduction in the Finish Allowance.

 

Renaissance Tower/ Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc.


3. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of a First Expansion Notice, Landlord and Tenant will enter into an amendment to the Lease prepared by Landlord, in form reasonably acceptable to Tenant, which amendment shall reflect (i) the addition of the Headway Space to the Premises, (ii) the increase in Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent payable under the Lease, (iii) the increase in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share Percentage, and (iv) such other amendments as are reasonably necessary. Such lease amendment shall include a work letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached to the Lease, provided that such form shall be amended to (i) set forth appropriate dates, (ii) amend the finish allowance to be the amount of finish allowance calculated in accordance with this Rider, and (iii) provide for such other matters as are necessary to reflect the agreements of the parties as set forth in this Rider or otherwise respecting the finish out of the Headway Space. Pursuant to such work letter, Tenant shall construct or cause to be constructed improvements in the Headway Space in accordance with construction plans agreed to by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to the terms of such work letter.

4. Upon substantial completion of the Headway Space improvements, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a Commencement Date Memorandum with respect to the Headway Space in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached to the Lease.

5. In the event Tenant fails to timely exercise the First Expansion Option, then as of the first day of the 25th Lease Month: (i) the portion of the Premises located on the 5th floor of the Building shall be as identified on Exhibit B-1 attached to the Supplemental Lease Provisions (the Agreed Rentable Area of which 5th floor space shall be deemed to be 16,156 square feet for all purposes under the Lease); and (ii) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, perform the following work in compliance with applicable Law, which work must be completed prior to the first day of the 28th Lease Month: (1) all work necessary to separate the Headway Space from the portion of the Premises located on the 5th floor of the Building (including the construction of demising walls using Building standard materials and methods); and (2) construction of a multi-tenant layout using Building standard materials and methods (including, without limitation, creating Service Corridors with respect thereto). In the alternative, at Landlord’s election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written demand, all costs Landlord reasonably estimates will be incurred by Landlord in performing such work, in which event Landlord shall be responsible for performance of any such work (which Landlord shall do at its election unless otherwise required by applicable Law); provided that (i) at any time following the last day of the 24th Lease Month that no demising wall separates the Premises on the 5th floor of the Building from the Headway Space, Tenant shall not encroach into or otherwise use any portion of the Headway Space other than as may be required for reasonable ingress and egress to the Common Areas located on the floor, and (ii) at such time as Landlord deems appropriate, Landlord shall have the right to install a demising wall and common corridor using Building standard materials and methods and in compliance with applicable Law, and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord as may be reasonably required in connection with any such construction.

B. SECOND EXPANSION OPTION

1. Subject to the terms of this Rider, and provided Tenant has previously exercised the First Expansion Option, Tenant shall have the option (the “Second Expansion Option”) to lease space on the 6th and 7th floors of the Building (the “Expansion Space”). Tenant may exercise the Second Expansion Option via a single exercise for the entirety of the Expansion Space or Tenant may exercise the Second Expansion Option via multiple exercises for portions of the Expansion Space as Tenant’s space needs are determined or increase. Tenant shall exercise the Second Expansion Option, if at all, by delivering one or more written notices of such exercise(s) on or before the Outside Exercise Date (each such notice, a “Second Expansion Notice”). Tenant shall specify in any such Expansion Notice (i) the amount of additional space (in rentable area) required by Tenant (which amount shall be at least 15,000 square feet but shall not exceed the Agreed Rentable Area of the then remaining Expansion Space), (ii) Tenant’s desired location of such additional space (provided that all such space shall be contiguous and no such additional space shall be located on the 7th floor prior to the incorporation of the entire 6th floor into the Premises), and (iii) the date on which Tenant desires Landlord to deliver the additional space to Tenant (which date shall be no later than the day immediately following the Outside Exercise Date). Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt an Expansion Notice, Landlord shall deliver written notice (any such notice, an “Expansion Response”) to Tenant either approving or objecting to the location of the additional space. Landlord shall be entitled to object to such location only if the incorporation of such additional space into the Premises would leave any vacant space remaining on the applicable floor not Reasonably Leasable (as

 

Renaissance Tower/ Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc.


defined below), in Landlord’s reasonable opinion (in which event Tenant shall be required to revise the configuration of the additional space and the foregoing notice and approval process shall be repeated as required). The additional space ultimately selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord shall be the “Applicable Expansion Space”. The date on which Landlord shall deliver such Applicable Expansion Space to Tenant shall be no later than one month after the date on which the Applicable Expansion Space is approved by Landlord. If Tenant fails to exercise the Second Expansion Option in the manner set forth in this Rider, the Second Expansion Option shall expire and be of no further force or effect. The term “Outside Exercise Date” shall mean the last day of the 24th Lease Month; provided, however, that if Tenant has exercised the First Expansion Option, then the Outside Exercise Date shall mean the last day of the 48th Lease Month.

The term “Reasonably Leasable” as used herein means that the space is of such size and is configured in such a manner as to be reasonably marketable to third parties at non-discounted rates. For purposes of this Rider, space shall not be deemed to be Reasonably Leasable unless such space: (a) provides any potential occupant of such space reasonable access to all Building services, and allows Landlord to provide such services in an efficient manner (e.g., considering the manner in which utilities and HVAC services are split on the floor), (b) includes a pro rata amount of exterior windows and exterior exposure on such floor, (c) is configured so as to be in compliance with all applicable codes to permit leasing to third parties, (d) is configured in a manner which will maximize the amount of contiguous space available for lease to other tenants on the applicable floor, and (e) has exposure to the elevator lobby of the applicable floor, if such space comprises at least one-fourth of such floor.

2. The Applicable Expansion Space shall be leased to Tenant upon all terms and conditions of the Lease with the following exceptions:

(a) The Basic Annual Rent for the Applicable Expansion Space will be equal to the product of the Basic Annual Rent per square foot of Agreed Rentable Area applicable to the Premises (at the time such Basic Annual Rent is calculated) under Item 3 of the Basic Lease Provisions, multiplied by the Agreed Rentable Area of the Applicable Expansion Space as set forth above, with such Basic Rent increasing from time to time in accordance with the increases in Basic Rent applicable to the remainder of the Premises.

(b) The Applicable Expansion Space shall be delivered to Tenant in “as is” condition. Tenant shall be entitled to a finish allowance equal to the product of (i) $42.00, multiplied by (ii) the number of square feet of Agreed Rentable Area in the Applicable Expansion Space, multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full Lease Months that remain in the initial Term from and after the date Basic Rent commences with respect to the Applicable Expansion Space and the denominator of which is 126.4 Such finish allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord substantially in accordance with the disbursement procedures applicable to the Refurbishment Allowance as set forth in Section 15.27 of the Lease.

(c) Basic Monthly Rent for the Applicable Expansion Space will be equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Basic Annual Rent for the Applicable Expansion Space.

(d) Basic Rent and Additional Rent for the Applicable Expansion Space shall commence (the “Expansion Space Commencement Date”) on the earliest to occur of (i) the date that Tenant commences occupancy of the Applicable Expansion Space for its Permitted Use, (ii) sixty (60) days after Landlord delivers the Applicable Expansion Space to Tenant, or (iii) the day immediately following the Outside Exercise Date. Tenant’s improvements to the Applicable Expansion Space shall be deemed to be substantially completed on the date that (i) such improvements have been completed other than for minor finish details or mechanical adjustment, the incompletion of which shall not interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Applicable Expansion Space for the Permitted Use and (ii) Tenant shall have obtained all permits and approvals of governmental authorities exercising jurisdiction required for Tenant to lawfully occupy and use the Applicable Expansion Space for the Permitted Use.

The caps set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.6 of the Work Letter with respect to the portion of the Finish Allowance that shall be available for Cabling Costs, Moving Costs and FF&E Costs or that may be applied to reduce Basic Rent shall also apply to the finish allowance to be provided for any Expansion Space, provided that such caps shall be proportionately reduced commensurate with the proportionate reduction in the Finish Allowance.

(e) Tenant’s Pro Rata Share Percentage shall be recalculated based on the Agreed Rentable Area of the Premises as of the Expansion Space Commencement Date for the Applicable Expansion Space.

(f) Except as may be necessary to complete improvements in the Applicable Expansion Space, Tenant shall have no right to occupy any portion of the Applicable Expansion Space, and in no event shall Tenant occupy the Applicable Expansion Space, prior to (i) substantial completion of the leasehold improvements to be constructed in the Applicable Expansion Space, and (ii) issuance of a certificate of completion or other document or permit issued by the applicable governmental authority authorizing Tenant’s occupancy of the Applicable Expansion Space.

(g) If any of the Expansion Space shall include less than all of the rentable area on the applicable floor of the Building and such Expansion Space shall not be then separately demised, with all common corridors required by applicable Law installed, then Landlord at its sole cost and expense shall construct all such demising walls and common corridors prior to delivering possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant (i) if there are other tenants and occupants on the floor, (ii) if such installation is otherwise required by applicable Law in order for Tenant to obtain any permit or other authorization of governmental authorities required in connection with Tenant’s initial alterations and improvements to the Expansion Space and/or in order for Tenant to lawfully occupy and use the Expansion Space for the Permitted Use, or (iii) if Landlord otherwise elects. If such demising walls and common corridors are not required by applicable Law when the Expansion Space is delivered to Tenant but are thereafter required to be installed by applicable Law, whether due to Landlord’s leasing other premises on the floor or for any other reason, Landlord shall promptly construct such demising walls and common corridors at its sole cost and expense and with a minimum of disturbance to Tenant. To the extent Tenant occupies any such Expansion Space without same being separately demised, then Tenant shall be permitted reasonable access (i) to utility closets in such Expansion Space, and (ii) over space adjacent to such Expansion Space to the extent necessary for ingress and egress between such Expansion Space and the floor’s Common Areas.

3. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of a Second Expansion Notice, Landlord and Tenant will enter into an amendment to the Lease prepared by Landlord, and in form reasonably acceptable to Tenant, which amendment shall reflect (i) the addition of the Applicable Expansion Space to the Premises, (ii) the increase in Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent payable under the Lease, (iii) the increase in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share Percentage, and (iv) such other amendments as are reasonably necessary. Such lease amendment shall include a work letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached to the Lease, provided that such form shall be amended to (i) set forth appropriate dates, (ii) amend the finish allowance to be the amount of finish allowance calculated in accordance with this Rider, and (iii) provide for such other matters as are necessary to reflect the agreements of the parties as set forth in this Rider or otherwise respecting the finish out of the Applicable Expansion Space. Pursuant to such work letter, Tenant shall construct or cause to be constructed improvements in the Applicable Expansion Space in accordance with construction plans agreed to by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to the terms of such work letter.

4. Upon substantial completion of the Applicable Expansion Space improvements, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a Commencement Date Memorandum with respect to the Applicable Expansion Space in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached to the Lease.

5. Tenant understands and acknowledges that its rights under this Rider with respect to the Expansion Space located on the 7th floor are subject and subordinate to the rights of an existing tenant under its lease agreement in effect as of the date hereof. In the event Tenant is prevented from exercising its rights under this Rider with respect to any of the Expansion Space located on the 7th floor due to such existing tenant’s election to exercise its superior right to such space, Landlord agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to substitute other space in the Building to satisfy Tenant’s additional space requirements (provided that Landlord shall not be required to substitute space on a floor that is not already configured for multi-tenant use if Tenant requires less than a full floor).

C. GENERAL

1. Notwithstanding any other provision or inference herein to the contrary, Tenant’s rights and Landlord’s obligations under this Rider shall expire and be of no further force or effect on the earliest of (i) the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of the Lease, or (ii) an assignment of the Lease by Tenant to any other party (excluding an Affiliate). Furthermore, Tenant shall have no rights, and Landlord shall have no obligations, under this Rider at any time there exists a default by Tenant under the Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period.

2. Time is of the essence in any exercise by Tenant of its rights under this Rider.

3. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that nothing set forth in Rider 3 below shall permit Landlord to market any of the Headway Space or the Expansion Space for lease during any period in which Tenant has the right to lease same pursuant to pursuant to the provisions of this Rider; provided that during such period Landlord shall be entitled to lease any of the Expansion Space (but not the Headway Space) on a short-term basis without regard to Tenant’s rights under this Rider, as long as any such short-term lease does not prevent or impair Landlord’s ability to meet its obligations under this Rider.

4. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, with respect to any Expansion Space leased by Tenant which is less a full floor, (i) if such Expansion Space includes the bathrooms and those areas on the floor which would be required for use as common area corridors if the floor were a multi-tenant floor (collectively, the “Multi-Tenant Common Areas”), then the Agreed Rentable Area of such Expansion Space shall be measured using the 5% add-on factor applicable to full floors in the Building, and (ii) if such Expansion Space does not include any Multi-Tenant Common Areas, then the Agreed Rentable Area of such Expansion Space shall be measured using a multi-tenant factor which is the greater of (i) 15%, or (ii) the lesser of the Building’s then-standard modified multi-tenant factor or the multi-tenant add-on factor as determined in accordance with BOMA.

5. Notwithstanding Section 15.5, Rule 27 or any other provisions of the Lease to the contrary (but subject to Section 4.5 of the Lease), so long as Tenant is the sole occupant on any floor in the Building on which any portion of the Premises is located, Tenant shall have the right to control access to the floor (which right shall include, but not be limited to, installing keyed entry doors immediately off of the elevator lobby for any such floor) and may operate the floor as if it were a single tenant floor.

RIGHT OF REFUSAL

 

1.

Prior to leasing to a third party any of the Refusal Space (as defined below), Landlord shall first deliver to Tenant a written statement (“Statement”) to Tenant notifying Tenant that Landlord has entered into negotiations with a bona fide prospect (as evidenced by the exchange of written correspondence with a such prospect relating to proposed lease terms) and specifying the amount and location of such space, the anticipated date of tender of possession, the rental rate (including any projected rate increases over the applicable term), and any other principal economic terms. Tenant shall have fourteen (14) days after receipt of the Statement within which to notify Landlord in writing that it elects to lease the applicable Refusal Space (each such written notice is herein referred to as a “Notice”). If Tenant elects to lease the applicable Refusal Space within such fourteen (14) day period, then Tenant’s election shall be irrevocable. If Tenant elects not to lease the applicable Refusal Space, Landlord shall have the right to lease such space to any other party; provided, however, that if such space is not leased within 180 days after the date of the Statement, or if the economic benefit derived from any such lease with any prospective tenant is less than 95% of the economic benefit of the lease expansion proposed in the Statement, then Landlord shall again be required to comply with the terms of this Rider prior to leasing all or any portion of the Refusal Space to other parties. Tenant understands and acknowledges that its rights under this Rider with respect to the Refusal Space located on the 7th floor are subject and subordinate to the rights of an existing tenant under its lease agreement in effect as of the date hereof. Failure by Tenant to notify Landlord within such fourteen (14) day period, or any purported election by Tenant to lease any Refusal Space that contains any qualification or condition, shall be deemed an election by Tenant not to lease the applicable Refusal Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event the Statement describes a proposed transaction that contemplates the leasing of any space in addition to the Refusal Space, Tenant must agree to lease all such space in order to exercise its rights under this Rider with respect to the Refusal Space. The term “Refusal Space” as used herein shall mean the Headway Space and the Expansion Space (excluding any such space leased by Tenant, whether pursuant to Rider 2 or otherwise).

 

2. If Tenant elects to lease the applicable Refusal Space, then such space shall be leased to Tenant upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Statement; provided, however, that if (i) the lease term proposed in the Statement exceeds the then-remaining Term, and (ii) the rentable area of the applicable Refusal Space identified in the Statement is less than 30,000 square feet, then Tenant may elect to make the lease term applicable to such Refusal Space coterminous with the Term. Such election shall be made in the Notice, if at all, and shall be irrevocable. If Tenant makes such election, then (i) the rental rate structure as set forth in the Statement shall be adjusted, as reasonably determined by Landlord, so that the average effective rental rate over the coterminous term is the same as the average effective rental rate over the lease expansion term proposed in the Statement, (ii) any finish allowance or other allowances or concessions provided under the terms and conditions set forth in the Statement shall be reduced to equal the product of (a) such finish allowance or other allowances or concessions to be provided by Landlord pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Statement, multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full Lease Months that remain in the then-remaining Term from and after the date Basic Rent commences with respect to the applicable Refusal Space and the denominator of which is the number of Lease Months in the transaction reflected the Statement, and (iii) Tenant’s rights under Rider 4 to this Lease (Termination Option) shall be deemed void and of no further force or effect. Tenant shall execute and return a lease amendment (prepared by Landlord and in form reasonably acceptable to Tenant) adding the Refusal Space to the Premises for all purposes under the Lease (including any extensions or renewals) and confirming the rent and other applicable terms specified in the Statement. If Tenant, within 30 days after Landlord provides Tenant with such document, fails to execute and return the required lease amendment (or, in lieu thereof, offer reasonable objections to Landlord’s form of same), then Tenant’s rights and Landlord’s obligations under this Rider shall be voidable at the option of Landlord. Time is of the essence in any exercise by Tenant of its rights under this Rider.

 

3.

Notwithstanding any other provision or inference herein to the contrary, Tenant’s rights and Landlord’s obligations under this Rider shall expire and be of no further force or effect on the earliest of (i) the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of the Lease, (ii) an assignment of the Lease to any other party (excluding an

 

Renaissance Tower/ Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc.


  Affiliate), or (iii) the last day of the 66th Lease Month. Furthermore, Tenant shall have no rights, and Landlord shall have no obligations, under this Rider (i) prior to the expiration of the First Expansion Option and the Second Expansion Option, or (ii) at any time there exists a default by Tenant under the Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period.

 

4. Tenant shall not disclose any information set forth in the Statement or otherwise provided to Tenant by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s exercise of its rights under this Rider (collectively, the “Statement Information”) to any person or party without the prior written consent of Landlord. This obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to (a) disclosure pursuant to lawful subpoena or order of court of competent jurisdiction (in which event the disclosing party shall notify the other party prior to disclosure to allow sufficient time to seek a protective order if such other party desires), or (b) disclosure to the respective partners (including all partners, directors, officers, employees and agents of such partners), directors, officers, and employees of each party, nor each party’s attorneys, accountants, financing sources or other similar third party professions working on behalf such party who need to know the Statement Information for the purpose of performing their duties (provided that all such persons to whom Statement Information is disclosed likewise keep the Statement Information confidential).

 

5. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that nothing set forth in this Rider shall permit Landlord to market any of the Headway Space or the Expansion Space for lease during any period in which Tenant has the right to lease same pursuant to pursuant to the provisions of Rider 2 above; provided that during such period Landlord shall be entitled to lease any of the Expansion Space (but not the Headway Space) on a short-term basis without regard to Tenant’s rights under this Rider, as long as any such short-term lease does not prevent or impair Landlord’s ability to meet its obligations under Rider 2.

 

6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, during any period in which Tenant’s rights under this Rider are in effect, Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to offer to lease other available space in the Building prior to negotiating with any prospective third party tenant for any of the Refusal Space. However, in no event shall such commercially reasonable efforts be deemed to impair Landlord’s ability to offer any of the Refusal Space to a prospective third party tenant where such prospective tenant expresses a preference for the Refusal Space for any reason, including without limitation (i) cost savings resulting from Landlord’s willingness to offer lower rates for the Refusal Space than for space higher in the Building, (ii) the proximity of the Refusal Space to other space leased by such prospective tenant in the Building, (iii) the location of the Refusal Space in the same elevator bank as other space leased by such prospective tenant in the Building, or (iv) the views available from the Refusal Space.

TERMINATION OPTION

Tenant shall have a one-time right to terminate the Lease as of the Termination Date (as defined below) pursuant to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Tenant shall exercise such termination right, if at all, by delivering Landlord written notice (the “Termination Notice”) on or before the Termination Notice Date, specifying that Tenant elects to terminate the Lease. The “Termination Notice Date” shall be the date that is 270 days prior to the Termination Date (as defined below).

(b) Tenant shall not be in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and curative periods on the date that Landlord receives the Termination Notice, nor shall Tenant have requested a Refurbishment Allowance as provided in Section 15.27 of the Lease.

(c) The “Termination Date” shall be the last day of the 60th Lease Month; provided, however, that if Tenant has exercised the Second Expansion Option and any Expansion Space Commencement Date related thereto occurs after the last day of the 24th Lease Month, then the Termination Date shall be extended to the last day of the Extended Termination Period. The term “Extended Termination Period” shall mean the period commencing on the latest applicable Expansion Space Commencement Date and ending on the last day of the calendar month thereafter in which Landlord has received 36 full payments of Basic Monthly Rent, excluding any months in which Basic Monthly Rent is $0 (e.g., Lease Months 61-66).

(d) Tenant shall pay to Landlord a “Termination Payment” (herein so called) equal to the unamortized portion of the Finish Allowance and any other allowances paid to Tenant under the Lease (each a “Permitted Amortized Expense”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall structure all commission agreements with the Broker, any such other broker representing Tenant, the Property Manager and any such other agent or representative of Landlord such that no commission shall be earned or otherwise due with respect to any portion of the Term from and after the Termination Date unless and until Tenant shall waive in writing its termination right pursuant to this Rider 4 or such termination right shall expire of its terms, and as a result no commission shall be a Permitted Amortized Expense. For the purpose of determining the unamortized portion of any Permitted Amortized Expense, such expense shall be amortized on a straight line basis over the period commencing on the later of the Commencement Date or the date that such expense is incurred by Landlord, and continuing through the Expiration Date (exclusive of any renewal terms or other extensions of the Term), using an interest rate of 10% per annum.

(e) The Termination Payment shall be paid to Landlord as follows: 20% contemporaneously with Tenant’s delivery of the Termination Notice to Landlord, 40% within 180 days prior to the Termination Date, and 40% within 30 days prior to the Termination Date.

(f) Tenant’s rights under this Rider shall be voidable at the option of Landlord if (i) Tenant assigns the Lease to any other party (excluding an Affiliate), (ii) a default by Tenant occurs under the Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period following Landlord’s receipt of the Termination Notice but prior to the Termination Date, (iii) Tenant fails to send the Termination Notice as, when and in the manner required by this Rider, or (iv) Tenant fails to pay the Termination Payment to Landlord as, when and in the manner required under this Rider.

Time is of the essence in any exercise by Tenant of its rights under this Rider.

CONTRACTION OPTION

Provided the Premises at all times during the Term contain at least the entire 3rd and 4th floors of the Building (containing 61,904 square feet of Agreed Rentable Area), Tenant shall have the one-time right to reduce the Agreed Rentable Area of the Premises in an amount not to exceed the rentable area of a full floor of space within the Premises (provided that the Premises remaining after such space reduction will contain the entire 3rd and 4th floors of the Building and at least 61,904 square feet of Agreed Rentable Area), subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Tenant shall exercise such contraction right, if at all, by delivering Landlord written notice (a “Contraction Notice”) designating (i) the amount of space (in rentable area) that Tenant desires to give back (not to exceed 30,000 square feet of Agreed Rentable Area, and provided that the remainder of the Premises following such space reduction will contain at least 61,904 square feet of Agreed Rentable Area), (ii) the effective date of such contraction (the “Contraction Date”), and (iii) Tenant’s desired location of such give-back space; provided that the location of the give-back space shall be determined in the following order of priority: (1) Tenant shall not be entitled to exclude any space on any full floors contained within the Premises unless it has excluded all portions of the Premises located on any multi-tenant floors; (2) such give-back space shall be located on the highest floor on which Tenant then leases space; (3) such give-back space shall be a single block of contiguous space on each floor on which such space is located; and (4) such contraction shall not cause any space remaining within the Premises to become non-contiguous to any other remaining space on the affected floor. The Contraction Date shall be at least nine (9) months after the date on which Landlord receives the Contraction Notice, but in no event shall the Contraction Date occur prior to the last day of the 36th Lease Month; provided, however, that if Tenant has exercised the Second Expansion Option and any Expansion Space Commencement Date related thereto occurs after the last day of the 24th Lease Month, then the Contraction Date shall not occur prior to the last day of the Extended Contraction Period. The term “Extended Contraction Period” shall mean the period commencing on the latest applicable Expansion Space Commencement Date and ending on the last day of the calendar month thereafter in which Landlord has received 36 full payments of Basic Monthly Rent, excluding any months in which Basic Monthly Rent is $0 (e.g., Lease Months 61-66). Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt a Contraction Notice, Landlord shall deliver written notice (any such notice, a “Contraction Response”) to Tenant either approving or objecting to the location of the give-back space as identified by Tenant. Landlord shall be entitled to object to such location only if such give-back space is not Reasonably Leasable (as defined below), in Landlord’s reasonable opinion (in which event Tenant shall be required to revise the configuration of the give-back space and the foregoing notice and approval process shall be repeated as required). The space ultimately selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord for exclusion from the Premises shall be the “Contraction Space”.

The term “Reasonably Leasable” as used herein means that the space is of such size and is configured in such a manner as to be reasonably marketable to third parties at non-discounted rates. For purposes of this Rider, space shall not be deemed to be Reasonably Leasable unless such space: (a) provides any potential occupant of such space reasonable access to all Building services, and allows Landlord to provide such services in an efficient manner (e.g., considering the manner in which utilities and HVAC services are split on the floor); (b) includes a pro rata amount of exterior windows and exterior exposure on such floor; (c) is configured so as to be in compliance with all applicable codes to permit leasing to third parties; (d) is configured in a manner which will maximize the amount of contiguous space available for lease to other tenants on the applicable floor; (e) has exposure to the elevator lobby of the applicable floor, if such space comprises at least one-fourth of such floor; and (f) can be demolished and rebuilt without any material additional cost or premium in excess of customary demolition and construction costs unless Tenant agrees to pay such additional cost or premium.

(b) Once the location of the Contraction Space is determined, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, perform the following work in compliance with applicable Law, which must be completed on or before the Contraction Date: (1) all work necessary to separate the Contraction Space from the remainder of the Premises (including the construction of demising walls using Building standard materials and methods); and (2) if (i) any of the Contraction Space shall be located on a floor which prior to the Contraction Date was solely leased to Tenant and (ii) Tenant shall retain Premises on such floor following the Contraction Date (i.e., the Contraction Space shall not include 100% of the leasable area on such floor), then such work shall include construction of a multi-tenant layout on any partial floor given back by Tenant using Building standard materials and methods (including, without limitation, creating corridors with respect thereto). In the alternative, at Landlord’s election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within

 

Renaissance Tower/ Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc.


thirty (30) days after written demand, all costs Landlord reasonably estimates will be incurred by Landlord in performing such work, in which event Landlord shall be responsible for performance of any such work (which Landlord shall do at its election unless otherwise required by applicable Law); provided that (i) at any time following the Contraction Date that no demising wall separates the Contraction Space from the adjacent portion of the Premises, Tenant shall not encroach into or otherwise use any portion of the Contraction Space other than as may be required for reasonable ingress and egress to the Common Areas located on the floor, and (ii) at such time as Landlord deems appropriate, Landlord shall have the right to install a demising wall and common corridor using Building standard materials and methods and in compliance with applicable Law, and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord as may be reasonably required in connection with any such construction. Tenant may not be in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and curative periods on the effective date of delivery of the Contraction Notice, nor shall Tenant have elected to exercise its termination option pursuant to Rider 4 above.

(c) Tenant shall pay to Landlord a “Contraction Payment” (herein so called) equal to the unamortized portion of the following costs and expenses (each a “Permitted Amortized Contraction Expense”) as same are attributable to the Contraction Space on a pro rata basis: (i) the Finish Allowance and any other allowances provided to Tenant under the Lease in connection with any subsequent expansion of the Premises or modifications of the Lease; (ii) the leasing commission paid to Broker in connection with the execution of the Lease and any other brokerage commissions paid to a broker representing Tenant in connection with any subsequent expansion of the Premises or modifications of the Lease; and (iii) the leasing commission paid to any agent or representative of Landlord in connection with the execution of the Lease and any other leasing commissions paid to any agent or representative of Landlord in connection with any subsequent expansion of the Premises or modifications of the Lease. For the purpose of determining the unamortized portion of any Permitted Amortized Contraction Expense, such expense shall be amortized over the period commencing on the later of the Commencement Date or the date that such expense is incurred by Landlord, through and including the Expiration Date (exclusive of any renewal terms or other extensions of the Term), using an interest rate of 10% per annum. One-half of the Contraction Payment shall be paid contemporaneously with Tenant’s delivery of the Contraction Notice to Landlord, and the remainder of the Contraction Payment shall be paid no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Contraction Date.

(d) Tenant shall enter into an amendment to the Lease (prepared by Landlord and in form reasonably acceptable to Tenant) reflecting the exclusion of the Contraction Space from the Premises, including adjusting Basic Rent, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share Percentage, and Tenant’s parking allocations in proportion to the reduction in the Agreed Rentable Area of the Premises. Tenant shall execute such document within 30 days after Landlord provides Tenant with the form of same (or, in lieu thereof, offer reasonable objections to Landlord’s form of same). On or before the Contraction Date, Tenant shall surrender the Contraction Space in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.3 of the Lease for redelivery of the Premises.

(e) Tenant’s rights under this Rider shall be voidable at the option of Landlord at any time prior to the Contraction Date if (i) Tenant assigns the Lease to any other party (excluding an Affiliate), (ii) a default by Tenant occurs under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period following Landlord’s receipt of the Contraction Notice but prior to the Contraction Date, (iii) Tenant fails to send the Contraction Notice as, when and in the manner required under this Rider, or (iv) Tenant fails to pay the Contraction Payment to Landlord as, when and in the manner required under this Rider. Time is of the essence in any exercise by Tenant of its rights under this Rider.
