DEFINITIONS

AND BASIC

PROVISIONS

  

1. The definitions and basic provisions set forth in the Basic Lease Information (the Basic Lease Information) executed by Landlord and Tenant contemporaneously herewith are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. To the extent of any conflict between the Basic Lease Information and any provision contained in this Lease, this Lease shall control.

LEASE GRANT   

2. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, the Premises.

TERM   

3. The Term shall commence the later of July 1, 2006 or upon substantial completion of Initial Improvements described in Exhibit D herein (the Commencement Date), and end at 5:00 p.m. on the last day of the thirty-seventh (37th) full month following the Commencement Date, subject to adjustment due to delays caused by Landlord as provided in Exhibit D or renewal as provided in Exhibit E. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant upon execution hereof. Tenant shall have the right to enter and use the Premises upon execution hereof for the purposes of installing cabling, furniture, fixtures and equipment, as long as such early entry does not interfere with the Initial Improvements to the Premises or cause a Tenant Delay. By occupying the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises in their condition as of the date of such occupancy, subject to Landlord’s repair of latent defects and Landlord’s completion of any related punch-list items. Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days after Landlord has requested same, a letter confirming (1) the Commencement Date, (2) that Tenant has accepted the Premises, and (3) that Landlord has performed all of its obligations with respect to the Premises.

RENT   

4. (a) Payment. Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord the Rent without deduction or set off (except as otherwise expressly provided herein), at Landlord’s Address (or such other address as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing to Tenant). Basic Rental, adjusted as herein provided, shall be payable monthly in advance. The first full monthly installment of Basic Rental shall be payable contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease; thereafter, monthly installments of Basic Rental shall be due on the first day of each succeeding calendar month during the Term. Basic Rental for any partial month at the beginning or end of the Term shall be prorated based upon the number of days within the Term during the partial month multiplied by 1/365 of the then current annual Basic Rental and shall be due on or before the fifth day immediately preceding the Commencement Date, or first day of the last calendar month of the Term, as applicable.

  

(b) Electrical Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the product of (1) the cost of all electricity used by the Project (Electrical Costs), multiplied by (2) Tenant’s Proportionate Share. Such amount shall be payable monthly based on Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the amount due for each month, and shall be due on the Commencement Date and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter.

  

(c) Annual Electrical Cost Statement. By April 1 of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of Landlord’s actual Electrical Costs (the Annual Electrical Cost Statement) for the previous year adjusted as provided in Section 4.(d), which shall include a reconciliation of the actual amount Tenant owes for its share of Electrical Costs against the estimated amount collected from Tenant. If such reconciliation shows that Tenant paid more than owed, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant by check or cash for such excess within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Annual Electrical Cost Statement; conversely, if Tenant paid less than it owed, then Tenant shall pay Landlord such deficiency within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Annual Electrical Cost Statement.

 

1


 

(d) Adjustments to Electrical Costs. With respect to any calendar year or partial calendar year in which the Building is not occupied to the extent of 95% of the rentable area thereof, the Electrical Costs for such period shall, for the purposes hereof, be increased to the amount which would have been incurred had the Building been occupied to the extent of 95% of the rentable area thereof.

 

2


  

(e) Delinquent Payment. If any payment required by Tenant under this Lease is not paid when due, Landlord may charge Tenant a fee equal to 5% of the delinquent payment to reimburse Landlord for its cost and inconvenience incurred as a consequence of Tenant’s delinquency.

  

(f) Taxes. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against personal property, furniture, or fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises. If any taxes for which Tenant is liable are levied or assessed against Landlord or Landlord’s property and Landlord elects to pay the same, or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by inclusion of such personal property, furniture or fixtures and Landlord elects to pay the taxes based on such increase, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days of demand, that part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily liable.

  

(g) Excess. Tenant shall pay the Excess in the Basic Cost over the Expense Stop as such terms are defined in Exhibit C.

SECURITY

DEPOSIT

  

5. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in immediately available funds, the Security Deposit, which shall be held by Landlord without liability for interest and as security for performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure or limit of Landlord’s damages upon an Event of Default (defined below). Landlord may, from time to time upon notice to Tenant and without prejudice to any other remedy, use all or a part of the Security Deposit to perform any obligation which Tenant was obligated, but failed to perform hereunder. Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Within a reasonable time after the expiration of the Term, as may have been extended, provided Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall return to Tenant the balance of the Security Deposit not applied to satisfy Tenant’s obligations. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, then Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and Landlord thereafter shall have no further liability for the return of the Security Deposit.

LANDLORD’S

OBLIGATIONS

  

6. (a) Services; Maintenance. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant (1) water (hot and cold) at those points of supply provided for general use of tenants of the Building; (2) heated and refrigerated air conditioning from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday (except for holidays) sufficient to maintain temperatures during these hours in the range of from 70 degrees Fahrenheit to 78 degrees Fahrenheit; (3) janitorial service to the Premises on weekdays other than holidays (Landlord reserves the right to bill Tenant separately for extra janitorial service required for any special improvements installed by or at the request of Tenant) and such window washing as may from time to time in Landlord’s judgement be reasonably required, such janitorial services to be generally in accordance with those services described on Exhibit G; (4) non-exclusive elevator for ingress and egress to the floors on which the Premises are located; (5) replacement of Building-standard light bulbs and fluorescent tubes,; and (6) electrical current (subject to Tenant’s obligation to pay its share of Electrical Costs as provided herein). If Tenant desires heat and air conditioning at any time other than times herein designated, such services shall be supplied to Tenant upon reasonable advance notice and Tenant shall pay to Landlord $40.00 per hour (minimum two hours) for each additional hour (prorated and rounded up to the nearest quarter hour) such services are provided, such amount being payable within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice therefor.

(b) Maintenance. Landlord shall maintain all Shell Construction items, Building Systems (defined below), and Building common areas including all parking areas and landscaping, in good order and condition as customary for Comparable Buildings. Building Systems shall include all electrical, plumbing, and air conditioning systems within the Building which were included in the Shell Construction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Building Systems shall not include any improvements below the ceiling within the Premises (except in Shell Building core areas) including but not limited to appliances, fixtures and supplemental air systems, and other items not customary for office tenants in Comparable Buildings.

 

(c) Excess Electrical Use. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to furnish electrical current for computers, electronic data processing equipment, special lighting, or other equipment that requires more than 120 volts, or other equipment whose electrical energy consumption exceeds normal office usage, through any existing feeders and risers serving the Building and the Premises. Tenant shall not install any electrical equipment requiring special wiring or requiring voltage in excess of 120 volts or otherwise exceeding Building capacity unless approved in advance by Landlord. The use of electricity in the Premises shall not exceed the capacity of existing feeders and risers to or wiring in the Premises. Any risers or wiring required to meet Tenant’s excess electrical requirements shall, upon Tenant’s request, be installed by Landlord (unless otherwise agreed by Landlord) at Tenant’s expense, if, in Landlord’s sole and absolute judgment, the same are necessary and shall not cause permanent damage or injury to the Building or the Premises, cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition, entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs, or expenses, or interfere with or disturb other tenants of the Building. If Tenant uses machines or equipment (other than general office machines, excluding computers and electronic data processing equipment) in the Premises which affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system or otherwise overload any utility, Landlord may install supplemental air conditioning units or other supplemental equipment in the Premises, and the cost thereof, including the cost of installation, operation, use, and maintenance, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor. At the time of Tenant’s submission of plans and specifications for Landlord’s approval pursuant to Section 7 herein or Exhibit D to this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in good faith to identify any fixtures, equipment and/or appliances to be installed or placed in the Premises which fixtures, equipment or appliances would exceed the normal and customary electrical use and consumption of typical office tenants in Comparable Buildings, would affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system, or would require electric capacity in excess of any planned or existing feeders, risers, or wiring to the Premises.

 

(d) Restoration of Services; Abatement. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to restore any service that becomes unavailable; however, such unavailability shall not render Landlord liable for any damages caused thereby, be a constructive eviction of Tenant, constitute a breach of any implied warranty, or, except as provided in the next sentence, entitle Tenant to any abatement of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. However, if Tenant is prevented from making reasonable use of all or a portion of the Premises for more than ten (10) consecutive business days because of the unavailability of any such service, Tenant shall, as its exclusive remedy therefor, be entitled to abatement of Rent, or the pro rata portion thereof equivalent to the portion of the Premises rendered unusable to the entire Premises, for each consecutive day (after such thirty (30) day period) that Tenant is so prevented from making reasonable use of the Premises or the applicable portion thereof.

 

(e) Access. Subject to any Building rules and regulations, necessary repairs and maintenance, and any events beyond Landlord’s reasonable control which would prevent access, Tenant shall have access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. The Building shall include twenty-four (24) hour access by security card which cards shall be provided to Tenant upon payment of a $10 refundable deposit per card.

IMPROVEMENTS;

ALTERATIONS;

REPAIRS;

MAINTENANCE

  

7. (a) Improvements; Alterations. No improvements or alterations in or upon the Premises, including not by limitation paint, wall coverings, floor coverings, light fixtures, window treatments, signs, advertising, or promotional lettering or other media, shall be installed or made by Tenant except in accordance with plans and specifications which have been previously submitted to and approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed except that Landlord may withhold approval of any improvements or alterations which it determines, in its sole opinion, will materially and adversely affect any structural or aesthetic (only to the extent visible from outside the Premises or common areas) aspect of the Building or Building Systems. All improvements and alterations (whether temporary or permanent in character) made in or upon the Premises, either by Landlord or Tenant, shall (i) comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and (ii) be Landlord’s property at the end of the Term and shall remain on the Premises without compensation to Tenant unless prior to installation, Tenant provides Landlord with written notice of all items which may be removed by Tenant and Landlord consents to such removal in advance. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld provided Landlord may condition such consent as it deems reasonably necessary including not by limitation requiring Tenant to replace any items upon removal with similar items comparable to any such items in the Building or, if not applicable, then Comparable Buildings. Approval by Landlord of any of Tenant’s drawings and plans and specifications prepared in connection with any improvements in the Premises shall not constitute a representation or warranty of Landlord as to the adequacy or sufficiency of such drawings, plans and specifications, or the improvements to which they relate, for any use, purpose, or condition, but such approval shall merely be the consent of Landlord as required hereunder. Landlord warrants and agrees that it shall complete the Building Shell Construction in compliance with all then applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, including not by limitation the Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) Article 9102, Texas Civil Statutes, The Administrative Rules of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Thereafter, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs incurred to cause the Premises to comply with any such laws, rules or regulations, including not by limitation the retrofit requirements of TAS, as may be amended.

  

(b) Tenant Repairs; Maintenance. Except for those janitorial services to be provided by Landlord as expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant shall maintain its personal property and all improvements or alterations to the Premises other than those items included in Shell Construction (which shall be maintained by Landlord) in a clean, safe, operable, attractive condition, and shall not permit or allow to remain any waste or damage to any portion of the Premises. Tenant shall repair or replace, subject to Landlord’s direction and supervision, any damage to the Project caused by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, contractors, or invitees. If Tenant fails to make such repairs or replacements within fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of such damage, then Landlord, upon written notice to Tenant, may make the same at Tenant’s expense, which shall be payable to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor.

  

(c) Performance of Work. All work described in this Section 7 shall be performed only by Landlord or by contractors and subcontractors approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to procure and maintain insurance coverage against such risks, in such amounts, and with such companies as Landlord may reasonably require. All such work shall be performed in accordance with all legal requirements and in a good and workmanlike manner so as not to damage the Premises, the structure of the Building, or plumbing, electrical lines, or other utility transmission facilities or Building mechanical systems. All such work which may affect the Building’s electrical, mechanical, plumbing or other systems must be approved by the Building’s engineer of record.

 

5


  

(d) Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant shall not permit any mechanic’s liens to be filed against the Project for any work performed, materials furnished, or obligation incurred by or at the request of Tenant. If such a lien is filed, then Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after Landlord has delivered notice of the filing to Tenant, either pay the amount of the lien or diligently contest such lien and deliver to Landlord a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. If Tenant fails to timely take either such action, then Landlord may pay the lien claim without inquiry as to the validity thereof, and any amounts so paid, including expenses and interest, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor.

USE   

8. Tenant shall occupy and use the Premises only for the Permitted Use and shall comply with all laws, orders, rules, and regulations relating to the use, condition, and occupancy of the Premises. The Premises shall not be used for any use which (i) is disreputable, (ii) creates extraordinary fire hazards, (iii) results in an increased rate of insurance on the Building or its contents, or (iv) the storage of any hazardous materials or substances. If, because of Tenant’s acts, the rate of insurance on the Building or its contents increases, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such increase on demand, and acceptance of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s other rights. Tenant shall conduct its business and control its agents, employees, and invitees in such a manner as not to create any nuisance or interfere with other tenants or Landlord in its management of the Project.

ASSIGNMENT

AND SUBLETTING

  

9. (a) Transfers; Consent. Other than permitted transfers as described below, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, (1) advertise that any portion of the Premises is available for lease, (2) assign, transfer, or encumber this Lease or any estate or interest herein whether directly or by operation of law, (3) if Tenant is an entity other than a corporation whose stock is publicly traded, permit the transfer of an ownership interest in Tenant so as to result in a change in the current control of Tenant, (4) sublet any portion of the Premises, (5) grant any license, concession, or other right of occupancy of any portion of the Premises, or (6 permit the use of the Premises by any parties other than Tenant (any of the events listed in Sections 9.(a)(2) through 9.(a)(6) being a Transfer). If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a Transfer, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written description of all terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, copies of the proposed documentation, and the following information about the proposed transferee: name and address; reasonably satisfactory information about its business and business history; its proposed use of the Premises; and general references sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the proposed transferee’s reputation and character. Landlord shall respond in writing to Tenant’s request for a Transfer within ten (10) business days of receipt of written request therefor. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its attorneys’ fees (not to exceed $1,000 per request) and other expenses incurred in connection with considering any request for its consent to a Transfer. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent except that Landlord may withhold or condition its consent if it reasonably determines that the proposed transferee or its use (including not by limitation the number of employees, hours of operation, parking requirements, electrical or other Building system requirements, conflicts or competition with existing tenants) is unacceptable, would burden the Building, or are incompatible with the Building or its occupants. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a transfer and Landlord denies such request, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate the lease by giving Landlord thirty (30) days written notice of intent to terminate and paying to Landlord at the time of such notice all the Rent due to Landlord under the Lease for the remainder of the Term. If Landlord consents to a proposed Transfer, then the proposed transferee shall deliver to Landlord a written agreement whereby it expressly assumes the Tenant’s obligations hereunder; however, any transferee of less than all of the space in the Premises shall be liable only for obligations under this Lease that are properly allocable to the space subject to the Transfer, and only to the extent of the rent it has

 

6


   agreed to pay Tenant therefor. Landlord’s consent to a Transfer shall not release Tenant from performing its obligations under this Lease, but rather Tenant and its transferee shall be jointly and severally liable therefor. Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not waive Landlord’s rights as to any subsequent Transfers. If an Event of Default occurs while the Premises or any part thereof are subject to a Transfer, then Landlord, in addition to its other remedies, may collect directly from such transferee all rents becoming due to Tenant and apply such rents against Rent. Tenant authorizes its transferees to make payments of rent directly to Landlord upon Tenant’s receipt of notice from Landlord to do so; however, Landlord shall not be obligated to accept separate Rent payments from any transferees and may require that all Rent be paid directly by Tenant.
  

(i) Permitted Transfers. Tenant shall be permitted to periodically sublet portions of the Premises or to assign its rights to any parent or wholly-owned subsidiary entity, any organization resulting from a merger or a consolidation with the Tenant, or any organization succeeding to the business assets of the Tenant, provided the Premises continue to be used solely for the Permitted Use, the business and parking requirements of the subtenant or assignee are substantially the same as Tenant and the net worth of the subtenant or assignee is equal to or greater than Tenant’s at the time of Lease execution. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing within ten (10) days after such assignment or subletting.

  

(b) Additional Compensation. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately upon receipt thereof, fifty percent (50%) of the compensation received by Tenant for a Transfer that exceeds the Rent allocable to the portion of the Premises covered thereby. Tenant shall hold such amounts in trust for Landlord and pay them to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt.

  

(c) Cancellation. Landlord may, within twenty (20) days after submission of Tenant’s written request for Landlord’s consent to a Transfer (excluding Permitted Transfers), cancel this Lease (or, as to a subletting or assignment, cancel as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet or assigned) as of the date the proposed Transfer was to be effective. If Landlord cancels this Lease as to any portion of the Premises, then this Lease shall cease for such portion of the Premises and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent accrued through the cancellation date relating to the portion of the Premises covered by the proposed Transfer. Thereafter, Landlord may lease such portion of the Premises to the prospective transferee (or to any other person) without liability to Tenant. In such event, prior to the effective date of such termination, and subject to Landlord’s direction and supervision, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost and construction of a wall demising the remaining Premises from the portion of the Premises as to which the Lease is terminated.

INSURANCE; WAIVERS; SUBROGATION; INDEMNITY   

10. (a) Insurance. Tenant shall at its expense procure and maintain throughout the Term the following insurance policies: (1) commercial general liability insurance in amounts of not less than a combined single limit of $3,000,000 (the Initial Liability Insurance Amount) or such other amounts as Landlord may from time to time reasonably require, insuring Tenant, Landlord, Landlord’s agents, and their respective affiliates against all liability for injury to or death of a person or persons or damage to property arising from the use and occupancy of the Premises, and (2) insurance covering the full value of Tenant’s property and improvements, and other property (including property of others), in the Premises. Tenant’s insurance shall provide primary coverage to Landlord when any policy issued to Landlord provides duplicate or similar coverage, and in such circumstance Landlord’s policy will be excess over Tenant’s policy. Tenant shall furnish certificates of such insurance and such other evidence satisfactory to Landlord of the maintenance of all insurance coverage required hereunder, and Tenant shall obtain a written obligation on the part of each insurance company to notify Landlord at least thirty (30) days before cancellation or a material change of any such insurance. All such insurance policies shall be in form, and be issued by companies, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The term affiliate shall mean any person or entity which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the party in question.

(b) Waiver of Claims: No Subrogation. LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO TENANT OR THOSE CLAIMING BY, THROUGH, OR UNDER TENANT FOR ANY INJURY TO OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON OR PERSONS OR THE DAMAGE TO OR THEFT, DESTRUCTION, LOSS, OR LOSS OF USE OF ANY PROPERTY OR INCONVENIENCE (A LOSS ) CAUSED BY CASUALTY, THEFT, FIRE, THIRD PARTIES, OR ANY OTHER MATTER (INCLUDING LOSSES ARISING THROUGH REPAIR OR ALTERATION OF ANY PART OF THE BUILDING, OR FAILURE TO MAKE REPAIRS, OR FROM ANY OTHER CAUSE), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY PARTY CAUSED SUCH LOSS IN WHOLE OR IN PART. LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH WAIVES ANY CLAIM IT MIGHT HAVE AGAINST THE OTHER FOR ANY DAMAGE TO OR THEFT, DESTRUCTION, LOSS OR LOSS OF USE OF ANY PROPERTY, TO THE EXTENT THE SAME IS INSURED AGAINST UNDER ANY INSURANCE POLICY THAT COVERS THE BUILDING, THE PREMISES, LANDLORD’S OR TENANT’S FIXTURES, PERSONAL PROPERTY, LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS, OR BUSINESS, OR, IN THE CASE OF TENANT’S WAIVER, IS REQUIRED TO BE INSURED AGAINST UNDER THE TERMS HEREOF, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT OF THE OTHER PARTY CAUSED SUCH LOSS. EACH PARTY SHALL CAUSE ITS INSURANCE CARRIER TO ENDORSE ALL APPLICABLE POLICIES WAIVING THE CARRIER’S RIGHTS OF RECOVERY UNDER SUBROGATION OR OTHERWISE AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY.

  

(c) Indemnity. Subject to Section 11(b), Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord and its agents from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, causes of action, suits, judgments, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) for any Loss arising from any occurrence on the Premises or from Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease (other than a Loss arising from the sole or gross negligence of Landlord or its agents), even though caused or alleged to be caused by the joint, comparative, or concurrent negligence or fault of Landlord or its agents, and even though any such claim, cause of action, or suit is based upon or alleged to be based upon the strict liability of Landlord or its agents. This indemnity provision is intended to indemnify Landlord and its agents against the consequences of their own negligence or fault as provided above when Landlord or its agents are jointly, comparatively, or concurrently negligent with Tenant. This indemnity provision shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease.

SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; NOTICE TO LANDLORD’S MORTGAGEE   

11. (a) Subordination. This Lease shall be subordinate to any deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument (a Mortgage), or any ground lease, master lease, or primary lease (a Primary Lease), that now or hereafter covers all or any part of the Premises (the mortgagee under any Mortgage or the lessor under any Primary Lease is referred to herein as Landlord’s Mortgagee). Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from Landlord’s Mortgagee, both existing and future, and deliver to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement for the benefit of Tenant in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Landlord’s Mortgagee, and Tenant.

  

(b) Attornment. Tenant shall attorn to any party succeeding to Landlord’s interest in the Premises, whether by purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale, termination of lease, or otherwise, upon such party’s request, and shall execute such agreements confirming such attornment as such party may reasonably request.

  

(c) Notice to Landlord’s Mortgagee. Tenant shall not seek to enforce any remedy it may have for any default on the part of the Landlord without first giving written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, specifying the default in reasonable detail, to any Landlord’s Mortgagee whose address has been given to Tenant, and affording such Landlord’s Mortgagee a period to perform Landlord’s obligations hereunder, which period shall equal the cure period applicable to Landlord hereunder.

RULES AND

REGULATIONS

  

12. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Building which are attached hereto as Exhibit B. Landlord may, from time to time, change such rules and regulations for the safety, care, or cleanliness of the Building and related facilities, provided that such changes are applicable to all tenants of the Building and will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises; Landlord will provide to Tenant written notice of such changes. Tenant shall be responsible for the compliance with such rules and regulations by its employees, agents, and invitees.

CONDEMNATION   

13. (a) Taking - Landlord’s and Tenant’s Rights. If any part of the Project (including parking) is taken by right of eminent domain for a period exceeding ninety (90) days or conveyed in lieu thereof (a Taking), and such Taking prevents Tenant from conducting its business from the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Taking, then Landlord may, at its sole expense, relocate Tenant to similar office space within any Comparable Building owned or under the control of Landlord. Landlord shall notify Tenant of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days after the Taking. Rent shall be abated on a reasonable basis as to that portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by the Taking until relocation. Such relocation may be for a portion of the remaining Term or the entire Term. Landlord shall complete any such relocation within 180 days after Landlord has notified Tenant of its intention to relocate Tenant. If Landlord does not elect to relocate Tenant following such Taking, then Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of such Taking by giving written notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the Taking, and Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such Taking. If Landlord does not relocate Tenant and Tenant does not terminate this Lease, then Rent shall be abated on a reasonable basis as to that portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by the Taking. Upon the occurrence of a Taking, Rent shall be adjusted on a reasonable basis from the first day of the Taking until such termination.

  

(b) Taking - Landlord’s Rights. If any material portion, but less than all, of the Project or related parking becomes subject to a Taking, or if Landlord is required to pay any of the proceeds received for a Taking to Landlord’s Mortgagee, then this Lease, at the option of Landlord, exercised by written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such Taking, shall terminate and Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such Taking. Upon the occurrence of a Taking, Rent shall be adjusted on a reasonable basis from the first day of the Taking until such termination.

  

(c) Award. If any Taking occurs, all proceeds shall belong to and be paid to Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any portion thereof except that Tenant shall have all rights permitted under the laws of the State of Texas to appear, claim and prove in proceedings relative to such taking (i) the value of any fixtures, furnishings, and other personal property which are taken but which under the terms of this Lease Tenant is permitted to remove at the end of the Term, (ii) the unamortized cost (such costs having been amortized on a straight-line basis over the Term excluding any renewal terms) of Tenant’s leasehold improvements which are taken that Tenant is not permitted to remove at the end of the Term and which were installed solely at Tenant’s expense (i.e., not made or paid for by Landlord from the Construction Allowance or otherwise), and (iii) relocation and moving expenses, but not the value of Tenant’s leasehold estate created by this Lease and only so long as such claims in no way diminish the award Landlord is entitled to from the condemning authority as provided hereunder.

FIRE OR OTHER

CASUALTY

  

14. (a) Repair Estimate. If the Premises or the Building are damaged by CASUALTY fire or other casualty (a Casualty), Landlord shall, within sixty (60) days after such Casualty, deliver to Tenant a good faith estimate (the Damage Notice) of the time needed to repair or replace the damage caused by such Casualty.

  

(b) Landlord’s and Tenant’s Rights. If a material portion of the Premises or the Building is damaged by Casualty such that Tenant is prevented from conducting its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Casualty and Landlord estimates that the damage

 

9


   caused thereby cannot be repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of casualty, then Landlord may, at its sole expense, relocate Tenant to similar office space within any Comparable Building owned or under the control of Landlord. Landlord shall notify Tenant of its intention to do so in the Damage Notice. Rent for the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by the damage shall be abated on a reasonable basis from the date of damage until relocation. Such relocation may be for a portion of the remaining Term or the entire Term. Landlord shall complete any such relocation within one hundred eighty (180) days after Landlord has delivered the Damage Notice to Tenant. If Landlord does not elect to relocate Tenant following such Casualty, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant. If Landlord does not relocate Tenant and Tenant does not terminate this Lease, then (subject to Landlord’s rights under Section 14.(c)) Landlord shall repair the Building or the Premises, as the case may be, as provided below. Upon the occurrence of a Casualty, Rent for the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by the damage shall be abated on a reasonable basis from the date of damage until the completion of the repair or until such termination.
  

(c) Landlord’s Rights. If a Casualty damages a material portion of the Building, and Landlord makes a good faith determination that restoring the Premises would be uneconomical, or if Landlord is required to pay any insurance proceeds arising out of the Casualty to Landlord’s Mortgagee, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant, and Rent hereunder shall be abated as of the date of the Casualty.

  

(d) Repair Obligation. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease following a Casualty, then Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after such Casualty, commence to repair the Building and the Premises and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building and Premises to substantially the same condition as they existed immediately before such Casualty; however, Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any part of the furniture, equipment, fixtures, and other improvements which may have been placed by, or at the request of, Tenant or other occupants in the Building or the Premises, and Landlord’s obligation to repair or restore the Building or Premises shall be limited to the extent of the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for the Casualty in question.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT   

15. Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant:

  

(a) Tenant’s failure to pay Rent, or any other sums due from Tenant to Landlord under the Lease (or any other lease executed by Tenant for space in the Building), when due;

  

(b) Tenant’s failure to perform, comply with, or observe any other agreement or obligation of Tenant under this Lease (or any other lease executed by Tenant for space in the Building);

  

(c) The filing of a petition by or against Tenant (the term “Tenant” shall include, for the purpose of this Section 15.(c), any guarantor of the Tenant’s obligations hereunder) (i) in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding; (ii) seeking any relief under any state or federal debtor relief law; (iii) for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver for all or substantially all of Tenant’s property or for Tenant’s interest in this Lease; or (iv) for the reorganization or modification of Tenant’s capital structure; and provided that in the case of any of the foregoing which is filed against Tenant, the same is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after it is filed;

  

(d) The admission by Tenant that it cannot meet its obligations as they become due or the making by Tenant of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; and

 

10


  

(e) Tenant vacates all or a substantial portion of the Premises or fails to continuously operate its business at the Premises for the Permitted use set forth herein for seven (7) or more days without prior notification to Landlord.

REMEDIES   

16. (a) Landlord’s Remedies. Upon any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may, subject to any judicial process and notice to the extent required by Title 4, Chapter 24 of the Texas Property Code, as may be amended, in addition to all other rights and remedies afforded Landlord hereunder or by law or equity, take any of the following actions:

  

(i) Terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice thereof, in which event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of (1) all Rent accrued hereunder through the date of termination, (2) all amounts due under Section 15.(a), and (3) an amount equal to (A) the total Rent that Tenant would have been required to pay for the remainder of the Term discounted to present value at a per annum rate equal to the “Prime Rate” as published on the date this Lease is terminated by The Wall Street Journal, Southwest Edition, in its listing of “Money Rates”, minus (B) the then present fair rental value of the Premises for such period, similarly discounted; or

  

(ii) Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord (1) all Rent and other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of termination of possession, (2) all amounts due from time to time under Section 15.(a), and (3) all Rent and other sums required hereunder to be paid by Tenant during the remainder of the Term, diminished by any net sums thereafter received by Landlord through reletting the Premises during such period. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine (including a term different from the Term, rental concessions, and alterations to, and improvement of, the Premises); however, Landlord shall not be obligated to relet the Premises before leasing other portions of the Building. Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or to collect rent due for such reletting. Tenant shall not be entitled to the excess of any consideration obtained by reletting over the Rent due hereunder. Re-entry by Landlord in the Premises shall not affect Tenant’s obligations hereunder for the unexpired Term; rather, Landlord may, from time to time, bring action against Tenant to collect amounts due by Tenant, without the necessity of Landlord’s waiting until the expiration of the Term. Unless Landlord delivers written notice to Tenant expressly stating that it has elected to terminate this Lease, all actions taken by Landlord to exclude or dispossess Tenant of the Premises shall be deemed to be taken under this Section 16.(a)(ii). If Landlord elects to proceed under this Section 16.(a)(ii), it may at any time elect to terminate this Lease under Section 16.(a)(i).

  

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall not be deemed to have waived any requirements of Landlord to mitigate damages upon an Event of Default as required by law.

  

(b) Tenant’s Remedies.

  

(i) Notice and Cure. If Landlord should fail to perform or observe any covenant, term, provision or condition of this Lease and such default should continue beyond a period of ten (10) days as to a monetary default or thirty (30) days (or such longer period as is reasonably necessary to remedy such default, provided Landlord shall diligently pursue such remedy until such default is cured) as to a non-monetary default, after in each instance written notice thereof is given by Tenant to Landlord and Landlord’s Mortgagee, then, in any such event Tenant shall have the right (but no obligation) to cure the default, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable sums expended in so curing said default. Tenant specifically agrees that Landlord’s

 

11


   Mortgagee may enter the Premises upon reasonable notice to Tenant to cure any such default and that the cure of any default by Landlord’s Mortgagee shall be deemed a cure by Landlord under this Lease.
  

(ii) Set-off. If Tenant obtains a judgment against Landlord or any assignee for any default by Landlord under this Lease and (i) Tenant provided Landlord’s Mortgagee notice and opportunity to cure as described in Section 16(b)(i) above, (ii) said judgment is final and all rights of appeal have been exercised or have expired, and (iii) such judgment remains unsatisfied upon thirty (30) days written notice thereof to Landlord’s Mortgagee, Tenant may set off such judgment against Rent.

PAYMENT;

NON-WAIVER

  

17. (a) Payment. Upon any Event of Default by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs incurred by Landlord (including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) in (1) obtaining possession of the Premises, (2) removing and storing Tenant’s or any other occupant’s property, (3) repairing, restoring, altering, remodeling, or otherwise putting the Premises into condition acceptable to a new tenant, (4) if Tenant is dispossessed of the Premises and this Lease is not terminated, reletting all or any part of the Premises (including brokerage commissions, cost of tenant finish work, and other costs incidental to such reletting), (5) performing Tenant’s obligations which Tenant failed to perform, and (6) enforcing, or advising Landlord of, its rights, remedies, and recourses arising out of the Event of Default.

  

(b) No Waiver. Acceptance or payment of Rent following any Event of Default shall not waive any rights regarding such Event of Default. No waiver by any party of any violation or breach of any of the terms contained herein shall waive any rights regarding any future violation of such term or violation of any other term.

LANDLORD’S

LIEN

  

18. In addition to the statutory landlord’s lien, Tenant grants to Landlord, to secure performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, a security interest in all equipment fixtures, furniture, improvements, and other personal property of Tenant now or hereafter situated on the Premises, and all proceeds therefrom (the Collateral), and the Collateral shall not be removed from the Premises without the consent of Landlord until all obligations of Tenant have been fully performed. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, in addition to all other remedies, without notice or demand except as provided below, exercise the rights afforded a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Building is located (the UCC). In connection with any public or private sale under the UCC, Landlord shall give Tenant five (5) days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof is to be made, which is agreed to be a reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. Tenant grants to Landlord a power of attorney to execute and file any financing statement or other instrument necessary to perfect Landlord’s security interest under this Section 18, which power is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable during the Term. Landlord may also file a copy of this Lease as a financing statement to perfect its security interest in the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall subordinate its landlord’s lien, upon such terms as are reasonably acceptable to Landlord, to any bona fide third party financing obtained by Tenant.

SURRENDER OF PREMISES   

19. No act by Landlord shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid unless the same is made in writing and signed by Landlord. At the expiration or termination of this Lease, subject to Landlord’s obligation to maintain the Building, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Premises with all improvements located thereon in good repair and condition, reasonable wear and tear (and condemnation and fire or other casualty damage not caused by Tenant, as to which Sections 13 and 14 shall control) excepted, and shall deliver to Landlord all keys and/or access cards to the Premises. Provided that Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder, Tenant may remove all unattached trade fixtures, furniture, and personal property placed in the Premises by Tenant (but Tenant shall not remove any such item which was paid for, in whole or in part, by Landlord).

 

12


   Additionally, Tenant may remove such additional items as Landlord may have agreed. Tenant shall repair all damage caused by removal of any items. All items not so removed shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without notice to Tenant and without any obligation to account for such items. Tenant upon surrender of the Premises shall be required to remove any above-ceiling telecommunication wiring installed for Tenant’s use in the Premises at Tenant’s expense. The provisions of this Section 19 shall survive the end of the Term.
HOLDING OVER   

20. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises at the end of the Term, then Tenant shall be a tenant at will and, in addition to all other damages and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled for such holding over, Tenant shall pay, in addition to the other Rent, a daily Basic Rental equal to the greater of (a) 150% of the daily Basic Rental payable during the last month of the Term, or (b) the prevailing market rental rate for leases then being entered into for similar space in Comparable Buildings.

CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED BY LANDLORD   

21. Provided that the exercise of such rights does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, and upon reasonable advance notice provided by Landlord to Tenant (except in case of emergency), Landlord shall have the following rights:

  

(a) to decorate and to make inspections, repairs, alterations, additions, changes, or improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in and about the Building, or any part thereof; for such purposes, to enter upon the Premises and, during the continuance of any such work, to temporarily close doors, entryways, public space, and corridors in the Building; to interrupt or temporarily suspend Building services and facilities (Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to complete any work requiring the suspension of Building services and facilities during off-business hours when reasonably and commercially practicable to do so); and to change the arrangement and location of entrances or passageways, doors, and doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, restrooms, or other public parts of the Building;

  

(b) to take such reasonable measures as Landlord deems advisable for the security of the Building and its occupants, including without limitation searching all items entering or leaving the Building; evacuating the Building for cause, suspected cause, or for drill purposes; temporarily denying access to the Building; and closing the Building after normal business hours and on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, subject, however, to Tenant’s right to enter when the Building is closed after normal business hours under such reasonable regulations as Landlord may prescribe from time to time which may include by way of example, but not of limitation, that persons entering or leaving the Building, whether or not during normal business hours, identify themselves to a security officer by registration or otherwise and that such persons establish their right to enter or leave the Building;

  

(c) to change the name by which the Building is designated; and

  

(d) upon reasonable advance notice, to enter the Premises during Tenant’s regular business hours (or at any time when accompanied by a representative of Tenant) to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders, or prospective tenants.

SUBSTITUTION SPACE   

22. (a) From time to time during the Term, Landlord may substitute for the Premises other comparable space that has an area at least equal but not greater than 105% of that of the Premises and is located in the Building or in any Comparable Buildings owned or managed by Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord (the Substitution Space);

  

(b) If Landlord exercises such right by giving Tenant notice thereof (Substitution Notice) at least 60 days before the effective date of such substitution,

 

13


   then (1) the description of the Premises shall be replaced by the description of the Substitution Space; and (2) all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the Substitution Space. The effective date of such substitution (the Substitution Effective Date) shall be the date specified in the Substitution Notice or, if Landlord is required to perform tenant finish work to the Substitution Space under Section 22. (c), then the date on which Landlord substantially completes such tenant finish work. If Landlord is delayed in performing the tenant finish work by Tenant’s actions (either by Tenant’s change in plans and specifications for such work or otherwise), then the Substitution Effective Date shall not be extended and Tenant shall pay Rent for the Substitution Space beginning on the date specified in the Substitution Notice;
  

(c) Tenant may either (i) accept possession of the Substitution Space in its “as is” condition as of the Substitution Effective Date or (ii) require Landlord to alter the Substitution Space in the same manner as the Premises were altered or were to be altered or (iii) Tenant may deliver written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s election to terminate this Lease (“Tenant’s Termination Notice”) within ten (10) days after Landlord delivers notice to Tenant of the exercise of Landlord’s relocation right, in which case this Lease shall terminate on the fortieth (40th) day (the “Accelerated termination Date”) after the date Tenant’s Termination Notice is delivered to Landlord. Time is of the essence with respect to Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligations under this Section. After the Accelerated Termination Date, Tenant shall no longer have any rights (including the right of possession) in the Premises, and Landlord and Tenant shall be released of all further obligations, covenants and agreements accruing under the Lease with respect to the Premises after the Accelerated Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Landlord or Tenant be released from any of its obligations, covenants and agreements relating to the Premises which accrue under the Lease prior to the Accelerated Termination Date including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent with respect to the Premises for the period prior to the Accelerated Termination Date in accordance with the provisions of the Lease (including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Basic Rental, Excess, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Electrical Costs and all additional rental due under the Lease with respect to such period), and Landlord’s obligation to refund to Tenant any overpayments of Rent (including Basic Rental, Excess, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Electrical Costs and all additional rental due under the Lease) with respect to the Premises.

  

Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice of its election within ten (10) days after the Substitution Notice has been delivered to Tenant. If Tenant fails to timely deliver notice of its election or if an Event of Default then exists, then Tenant shall be deemed to have elected to accept possession of the Substitution Space in its “as is” condition. If Tenant timely elects to require Landlord to alter the Substitution Space, then (1) notwithstanding Section 22.(b), if the then unexpired balance of the Term is less than three years, then the Term shall be extended so that it continues for three years from the Substitution Effective Date, and (2) Tenant shall continue to occupy the Premises (upon all of the terms of this Lease) until the Substitution Effective Date;

  

(d) Tenant shall move from the Premises into the Substitution Space and shall surrender possession of the Premises as provided in Section 19 by the Substitution Effective Date. If Tenant occupies the Premises after the Substitution Effective Date, then Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall be a tenancy at will (and, without limiting all other rights and remedies available to Landlord, including instituting a forcible detainer suit), Tenant shall pay Basic Rental for the Premises as provided in Section 20 and all other Rent due therefor until such occupancy ends; such amounts shall be in addition to the Rent due for the Substitution Space; and

  

(e) If Landlord exercises its substitution right, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for moving Tenant’s furniture, equipment, supplies and telephone equipment from the Premises to the Substitution Space and for reprinting Tenant’s stationery of the same quality and quantity of Tenant’s stationery supply on hand immediately prior to Landlord’s notice to Tenant of the exercise of this relocation right. If the Substitution Space contains more square

 

14


  

footage than the Premises, and if the Premises were carpeted, Landlord shall supply and install an equal amount of carpeting of the same or equivalent quality and color.

 

MISCELLANEOUS   

23. (a) Landlord Transfer. Landlord may transfer, in whole or in part, the Project and any of its rights under this Lease. If Landlord assigns its rights under this Lease and such assignee assumes Landlord’s obligations hereunder, then Landlord shall thereby be released from any further obligations hereunder.

  

(b) Landlord’s Liability. The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall be limited to Tenant’s actual direct, but not consequential, damages therefor and shall be recoverable from the interest of Landlord in the Project (including any rents, profits, or other proceeds therefrom), and Landlord shall not be personally liable for any deficiency. This section shall not be deemed to limit or deny any remedies which Tenant may have in the event of default by Landlord hereunder which do not involve the personal liability of Landlord.

  

(c) Force Majeure. Other than for Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Lease and obligations which can be cured by the payment of money (e.g., maintaining insurance), whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for action to be taken by either party hereto, such party shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation for any such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental laws, regulations, or restrictions, or any other causes of any kind whatsoever which are beyond the control of such party.

  

(d) Brokerage. Landlord and Tenant each warrant to the other that it has not dealt with any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Lease, other than Billingsley Property Services, Inc. and Studley, Inc. whose commissions shall be paid by Landlord. Tenant and Landlord shall each indemnify the other against all costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and other liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by any broker or agent claiming the same by, through, or under the indemnifying party.

  

(e) Estoppel Certificates. From time to time, either Landlord or Tenant shall furnish, within ten (10) business days after request therefor, a signed certificate confirming and containing such factual certifications and representations as to this Lease as the requesting party may reasonably request.

  

(f) Notices. All notices and other communications given pursuant to this Lease shall be in writing and shall be (1) mailed by first class, United States Mail, postage prepaid, certified, with return receipt requested, and addressed to the parties hereto at the address specified in the Basic Lease Information, (2) hand delivered to the intended address, or (3) sent by prepaid telegram, cable, facsimile transmission, or telex followed by a confirmatory letter. Notice sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, shall be effective three business days after being deposited in the United States Mail; all other notices shall be effective upon delivery to the address of the addressee. The parties hereto may change their addresses by giving notice thereof to the other in conformity with this provision.

  

(g) Separability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws, then the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby and in lieu of such clause or provision, there shall be added as a part of this Lease a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.

  

(h) Amendments; and Binding Effect. This Lease may not be amended except by instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord or Tenant unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord or Tenant, and no custom or practice which may

 

15


   evolve between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof shall waive or diminish the right of Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the performance by Landlord or Tenant in strict accordance with the terms hereof. The terms and conditions contained in this Lease shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and upon their respective successors in interest and legal representatives, except as otherwise herein expressly provided. This Lease is for the sole benefit of Landlord and Tenant, and, other than Landlord’s Mortgagee, no third party shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof.
  

(i) Quiet Enjoyment. Provided Tenant has performed all of the terms and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, without hindrance from Landlord or any party claiming by, through, or under Landlord, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

  

(j) Joint and Several Liability. If there is more than one Tenant, then the obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and several. If there is a guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, then the obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenant shall be the joint and several obligations of Tenant and such guarantor, and Landlord need not first proceed against Tenant before proceeding against such guarantor nor shall any such guarantor be released from its guaranty for any reason whatsoever.

  

(k) Captions. The captions contained in this Lease are for convenience of reference only, and do not limit or enlarge the terms and conditions of this Lease.

  

(1) No Merger. There shall be no merger of the leasehold estate hereby created with the fee estate in the Premises or any part thereof if the same person acquires or holds, directly or indirectly, this Lease or any interest in this Lease and the fee estate in the leasehold Premises or any interest in such fee estate.

  

(m) No Offer. The submission of this Lease to Tenant shall not be construed as an offer, nor shall Tenant have any rights under this Lease unless Landlord executes a copy of this Lease and delivers it to Tenant.

EXHIBIT C

OPERATING EXPENSES

1. Tenant shall pay from time to time an amount (the Excess) calculated by multiplying (a) the amount by which the Basic Cost (defined below), divided by the Total Rentable Square Feet, exceeds 2006 actual Basic Costs (the Expense Stop), by (b) the Rentable Square Feet. The Excess may be calculated and collected annually in arrears on a calendar year basis and, in such event, shall be due within thirty (30) days after Landlord furnishes to Tenant a written statement (the Annual Operating Statement) reflecting the Basic Cost for the calendar year (as may be adjusted as provided herein) and calculating the Excess, if any. Said statement shall be furnished by April 1 immediately following the applicable calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable. Alternatively, Excess may be estimated and collected monthly and then reconciled against Basic Costs at calendar year end. In such event, Landlord shall make and notify Tenant of its good faith estimate of the Excess for the applicable calendar year (or part thereof), whereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance on the first day of each calendar month of such year (or part thereof), an amount equal to the estimated Excess divided by 12 (or such lesser number of months as applicable). From time to time during any calendar year, Landlord may re-estimate the Excess for that calendar year and the monthly installments of Excess payable by Tenant shall be adjusted accordingly so that, by the end of the calendar year in question, Tenant shall have paid the full Excess as estimated by Landlord for such year. The Basic Cost (other than the first year in which the Building is occupied) and Expense Stop shall be prorated for any portion of the Term which is less than a full calendar year.

2. The term Basic Cost shall mean all expenses and disbursements of every kind (subject to the limitations set forth below) which Landlord incurs, pays or becomes obligated to pay in connection with the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Project (including the associated parking facilities), determined in accordance with generally accepted federal income tax basis accounting principles consistently applied, including but not limited to the following:

(a) Wages and salaries of all employees engaged on-site in the Project in the operation, repair, replacement, maintenance, landscaping and security of the Project, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating thereto, such costs to be allocated based on the relative rentable square footage of the buildings directly managed by these personnel if they are providing services to multiple buildings;

(b) All supplies and materials used in the operation, maintenance, landscaping, repair, replacement, and security of the Project;

(c) Annual cost of all capital improvements made to the Project which although capital in nature can reasonably be expected to reduce the normal operating costs of the Project, as well as all capital improvements made in order to comply with any law hereafter promulgated by any governmental authority, as amortized over the useful economic life of such improvements as determined in accordance with generally accepted federal income tax basis accounting principles consistently applied;

(d) Cost of all utilities, other than the cost of utilities paid directly by Tenant or actually reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant or other Building tenants (including Tenant under Section 4 (b) of the Lease);

(e) Cost of any insurance or insurance related expense applicable to the Project and Landlord’s personal property used in connection therewith;

(f) All taxes and assessments and governmental charges whether federal, state, county or municipal, and whether they be by taxing or management districts or authorities presently taxing or by others, subsequently created or otherwise, and any other taxes and assessments attributable to the Project (or its operation), excluding, however, federal and state taxes on income (collectively, Taxes) (and Landlord shall make reasonable and diligent efforts, as deemed necessary or appropriate in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, to contest property valuations and otherwise minimize Taxes which may include retaining a tax consultant to assist in determining the fair tax valuation of the Project and protesting any unfair valuations, with all associated costs being a Basic Cost). Notwithstanding the above, if the present method of taxation changes so that in lieu of the whole or any part of any Taxes levied on the Project, there is levied on Landlord a capital tax directly on the rents received therefrom or a franchise tax, assessment, or charge based, in whole or in part, upon such rents for

 

 

22


the Building, then all such taxes, assessments, or charges, or the part thereof so based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “Taxes” for the purposes hereof;

(g) Cost of repairs, replacements, and general maintenance of the Project, other than replacement of the roof, foundation and exterior walls of the Building;

(h) Cost of service or maintenance contracts with independent contractors for the operation, maintenance, landscaping, repair, replacement, or security of the Project (including, without limitation, alarm service, window cleaning, and elevator maintenance);

(i) A management fee, which may be paid to Landlord or any affiliates thereof, as a percentage of the gross scheduled rent of the Building;

(j) Costs for landscaping and maintaining the medians within the Park, such costs to be allocated based on a fraction of which the numerator is the linear footage of frontage of the Project to International Parkway and the denominator which is the total linear footage of frontage in the Park bounded by the medians;

(k) Security for the Project, such costs to be allocated to each building based on relative rentable square footage when multiple buildings are covered by one contract; and

(1) A pro rata portion of the salary and benefits (including taxes and insurance) of the employees located off-site at Landlord’s corporate offices providing services to the Project, such costs to be allocated among all buildings managed by such employees based on rentable square footage.

Any Basic Cost incurred in connection with any work performed, or services provided, to or for the benefit of one or more of the buildings located in the office park of which the Project is a part and commonly referred to as the International Business Park shall be allocated between all such buildings, including the Building, on a per square foot of rentable area basis.

There are specifically excluded from the definition of the term “Basic Cost” costs (1) for capital improvements made to the Project, other than capital improvements described in Section 2.(c) above and except for items which, though capital for accounting purposes, are properly considered maintenance and repair items, such as painting of common areas, replacement of carpet in elevator lobbies, and the like; (2) for repair, replacements and general maintenance paid by proceeds of insurance or by Tenant or other third parties, and alterations attributable solely to tenants of the Building other than Tenant; (3) for interest, amortization or other payments on loans to Landlord; (4) for depreciation of the Building; (5) for leasing commissions; (6) for legal expenses, other than those incurred for the general benefit of the Building’s tenants (e.g., tax disputes); (7) for renovating or otherwise improving space for occupants of the Building or vacant space in the Building; (8) for correcting defects in the construction of the Building; (9) for overtime or other expenses of Landlord in curing defaults or performing work expressly provided in this Lease to be borne at Landlord’s expense; (10) for federal income taxes imposed on or measured by the income of Landlord from the operation of the Project; (11) repairs or replacements necessitated by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (12) amounts reimbursed to Landlord pursuant to any warranty or by any other tenant or third party; (13) reserves for future expenses; (14) late charges or penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s failure to pay any bills or charges when due; (15) general overhead of Landlord (not including any goods or services used or provided directly for the benefit of the Project); (16) amounts incurred to remediate any hazardous substances as defined by applicable environmental law unless caused in whole or in part by Tenant, its officers, employees, agents, contractors or customers; and (17) for rent or other payment due under any ground lease for any or all the Land.

3. The Annual Operating Expense Statement shall include a statement of Landlord’s actual Basic Cost for the previous year adjusted as provided in Section 4 of this Exhibit. If Tenant has paid estimated Excess and the Annual Operating Expense Statement reveals that Tenant paid more for Basic Cost than the actual Excess in the year for which such statement was prepared, then Landlord shall credit or reimburse Tenant for such excess within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Annual Operating Expense Statement; conversely, if Tenant paid less than the actual Excess, then Tenant shall pay Landlord such deficiency within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Annual Operating Expense Statement.

 

23


  4. With respect to any calendar year or partial calendar year in which the Building is not occupied to the extent of 95% of the rentable area thereof, the Variable Basic Costs (defined below) for such period shall, for the purposes hereof, be increased to the amount which would have been incurred had the Building been occupied to the extent of 95% of the rentable area thereof. As used herein, Variable Basic Costs means any Basic Cost that is variable in correlation with the level of occupancy of the Building.

5. Landlord shall maintain books and records reflecting the Basic Costs in accordance with sound accounting and management practices. Within 120 days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the Operating Costs, which shall include a computation of the Additional Rent. Upon receipt of the statement of Operating Costs, Tenant, at its expense, shall have the right, upon one hundred thirty 30) days written notice to Landlord, to audit or cause to be audited the financial records for the Project (including, without limitation, Landlord’s paid tax receipts) for the period reflected in such statement. Such audit must be completed during normal business hours in the property manager’s office or other location designated by Landlord and within one hundred eighty (180) days of Tenant’s receipt of such statement. Landlord shall credit any overpayment determined by the final approved audit report against the next Basic Rent due and owing by Tenant or, if no further Rent is due, refund such overpayment directly to Tenant within thirty (30) days of determination. Likewise, Tenant shall pay Landlord any underpayment determined by the final approved audit report within thirty (30) days of determination. The foregoing obligations shall survive the Expiration Date.

As used herein, the term Tenant Delay” shall mean any actual delay in the Substantial Completion of the Initial Improvements specified in a written notice to Tenant delivered by Landlord within one (1) business day after the occurrence of such delay (a “Tenant Delay Notice”) due to (a) any change by Tenant to the Scope of Work, (b) any material specification by Tenant of materials or installations which were not included in the Scope of Work or the Space Plan and which, because of long lead-time requirements or shortage of supply/availability, will actually delay Substantial Completion of the Initial Improvements, (c) any other delay otherwise caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party being in possession of the Premises or not performing any express requirement of Tenant under the terms of this Lease after Landlord’s written request therefor or any interference by Tenant or any Tenant Party with Landlord’s or its contractor’s, subcontractor’s, employee’s or agent’s construction activities in connection with the Project. For purposes of determining the Commencement Date, the Substantial Completion date shall be accelerated by one (1) day for each day of Tenant Delay specified in a Tenant Delay Notice. As soon as the Initial Improvements have been substantially completed, subject to any remaining items which do not materially interfere with or prevent Tenant from occupying and using the Premises for the permitted uses (i.e., punch-list items), and a certificate of occupancy or its equivalent for the Premises has been obtained (“Substantial Completion”), Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing that the Premises are ready for occupancy. Within ten (10) days thereafter, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in writing a punch list of items needing completion or correction. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such items within thirty (30) days after it receives such notice. Landlord shall allow changes to the Scope of Work and the Space Plan. If Tenant requests any change to the Scope of Work or the Space Plan, Tenant shall submit a written change order to Landlord and Landlord shall promptly thereafter deliver to Tenant a written notice specifying all additional costs in designing and constructing the Initial Improvements as a result of such change order (taking into account any cost savings attributable to such change order or prior change orders) and Tenant shall either pay to Landlord such specified additional costs or revoke such change order.

3. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 3, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to enter the Premises and the Property during the five (5) days preceding the Commencement Date, for the sole purpose of installing equipment, furniture and fixtures, each on the date which, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the Project has been completed to a stage sufficient to permit reasonably uninterrupted access by Tenant to begin such installation without causing interference with Landlord’s construction activities. Prior to any such entry Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence that the insurance required under Section 10 of the Lease has been obtained. Any such early entry by Tenant shall be on the terms of the Lease, but no Rent shall accrue until the Commencement Date occurs. All such activities conducted by Tenant or any other Tenant Party and any such system, improvements or equipment so installed by Tenant or any Tenant Party, shall be at Tenant’s sole risk and expense and Landlord shall have no liability therefor. Tenant shall conduct its activities in the Premises so as not to interfere with Landlord’s construction activities, and in the event Tenant or any Tenant Party, interferes with Landlord’s construction activities any delay resulting therefrom shall constitute a “Tenant Delay”.

 

25

OPERATING EXPENSES

1. Tenant shall pay from time to time an amount (the “Excess”) calculated by multiplying (a) the amount by which the Basic Cost (defined below), divided by the Total Rentable Square Feet, exceeds 2007 actual Basic Costs (the Expense Stop), by (b) the Rentable Square Feet. The Excess may be calculated and collected annually in arrears on a calendar year basis and, in such event, shall be due within thirty (30) days after Landlord furnishes to Tenant a written statement (the Annual Operating Statement) reflecting the Basic Cost for the calendar year (as may be adjusted as provided herein) and calculating the Excess, if any. Said statement shall be furnished by April 1 immediately following the applicable calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable. Alternatively, Excess may be estimated and collected monthly and then reconciled against Basic Costs at calendar year end. In such event, Landlord shall make and notify Tenant of its good faith estimate of the Excess for the applicable calendar year (or part thereof), whereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance on the first day of each calendar month of such year (or part thereof), an amount equal to the estimated Excess divided by 12 (or such lesser number of months as applicable). From time to time during any calendar year, Landlord may re-estimate the Excess for that calendar year and the monthly installments of Excess payable by Tenant shall be adjusted accordingly so that, by the end of the calendar year in question, Tenant shall have paid the full Excess as estimated by Landlord for such year. The Basic Cost (other than the first year in which the Building is occupied) and Expense Stop shall be prorated for any portion of the Term which is less than a full calendar year.

2. The term Basic Cost shall mean all expenses and disbursements of every kind (subject to the limitations set forth below) which Landlord incurs, pays or becomes obligated to pay in connection with the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Project (including the associated parking facilities), determined in accordance with generally accepted federal income tax basis accounting principles consistently applied, including but not limited to the following:

(a) Wages and salaries of all employees engaged on-site in the Project in the operation, repair, replacement, maintenance, landscaping and security of the Project, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating thereto, such costs to be allocated based on the relative rentable square footage of the buildings directly managed by these personnel if they are providing services to multiple buildings;

(b) All supplies and materials used in the operation, maintenance, landscaping, repair, replacement, and security of the Project;

(c) Annual cost of all capital improvements made to the Project which although capital in nature can reasonably be expected to reduce the normal operating costs of the Project, as well as all capital improvements made in order to comply with any law hereafter promulgated by any governmental authority, as amortized over the useful economic life of such improvements as determined in accordance with generally accepted federal income tax basis accounting principles consistently applied;

(d) Cost of all utilities, other than the cost of utilities paid directly by Tenant or actually reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant or other Building tenants (including Tenant under Section 4 (b) of the Lease);

(e) Cost of any insurance or insurance related expense applicable to the Project and Landlord’s personal property used in connection therewith;

(f) All taxes and assessments and governmental charges whether federal, state, county or municipal, and whether they be by taxing or management districts or authorities presently taxing or by others, subsequently created or otherwise (including, without limitation, the Texas Margin Tax), and any other taxes and assessments attributable to the Project (or its operation), excluding, however, federal and state taxes on income (but not excluding the Texas Margin Tax) (collectively, Taxes) (and Landlord shall make

reasonable and diligent efforts, as deemed necessary or appropriate in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, to contest property valuations and otherwise minimize Taxes which may include retaining a tax consultant to assist in determining the fair tax valuation of the Project and protesting any unfair valuations, with all associated costs being a Basic Cost). Notwithstanding the above, if the present method of taxation changes so that in lieu of the whole or any part of any Taxes levied on the Project, there is levied on Landlord a capital tax directly on the rents received therefrom or a franchise tax, assessment, or charge based, in whole or in part, upon such rents for the Building, then all such taxes, assessments, or charges, or the part thereof so based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “Taxes” for the purposes hereof;

(g) Cost of repairs, replacements, and general maintenance of the Project, other than replacement of the roof, foundation and exterior walls of the Building;

(h) Cost of service or maintenance contracts with independent contractors for the operation, maintenance, landscaping, repair, replacement, or security of the Project (including, without limitation, alarm service, window cleaning, and elevator maintenance);

(i) A management fee, which may be paid to Landlord or any affiliates thereof, as a percentage of the gross scheduled rent of the Building;

(j) Costs for landscaping and maintaining the medians within the Park, such costs to be allocated based on a fraction of which the numerator is the linear footage of frontage of the Project to International Parkway and the denominator which is the total linear footage of frontage in the Park bounded by the medians;

(k) Security for the Project, such costs to be allocated to each building based on relative rentable square footage when multiple buildings are covered by one contract; and

(1) A pro rata portion of the salary and benefits (including taxes and insurance) of the employees located off-site at Landlord’s corporate offices providing services to the Project, such costs to be allocated among all buildings managed by such employees based on rentable square footage.

Any Basic Cost incurred in connection with any work performed, or services provided, to or for the benefit of one or more of the buildings located in the office park of which the Project is a part and commonly referred to as the International Business Park shall be allocated between all such buildings, including the Building, on a per square foot of rentable area basis.

There are specifically excluded from the definition of the term “Basic Cost” costs (1) for capital improvements made to the Project, other than capital improvements described in Section 2.(c) above and except for items which, though capital for accounting purposes, are properly considered maintenance and repair items, such as painting of common areas, replacement of carpet in elevator lobbies, and the like; (2) for repair, replacements and general maintenance paid by proceeds of insurance or by Tenant or other third parties, and alterations attributable solely to tenants of the Building other than Tenant; (3) for interest, amortization or other payments on loans to Landlord; (4) for depreciation of the Building; (5) for leasing commissions; (6) for legal expenses, other than those incurred for the general benefit of the Building’s tenants (e.g., tax disputes); (7) for renovating or otherwise improving space for occupants of the Building or vacant space in the Building; (8) for correcting defects in the construction of the Building; (9) for overtime or other expenses of Landlord in curing defaults or performing work expressly provided in this Lease to be borne at Landlord’s expense; (10) for federal income taxes imposed on or measured by the income of Landlord from the operation of the Project; (11) repairs or replacements necessitated by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (12) amounts reimbursed to Landlord pursuant to any warranty or by any other tenant or third party; (13) reserves for future expenses; (14) late charges or penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s failure to pay any bills or charges when due; (15) general overhead of Landlord (not including any goods or services used or provided directly for the benefit of the Project); (16) amounts incurred to remediate any hazardous substances as defined by applicable environmental law unless caused in whole or in part by Tenant, its officers, employees, agents, contractors or customers; and (17) for rent or other payment due under any ground lease for any or all the Land.

3. The Annual Operating Expense Statement shall include a statement of Landlord’s actual Basic Cost for the previous year adjusted as provided in Section 4 of this Exhibit. If Tenant has paid estimated Excess and the Annual Operating Expense Statement reveals that Tenant paid more for Basic Cost than the actual Excess in the year for which such statement was prepared, then Landlord shall credit or reimburse Tenant for such excess within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Annual Operating Expense Statement; conversely, if Tenant paid less than the actual Excess, then Tenant shall pay Landlord such deficiency within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Annual Operating Expense Statement.

4. With respect to any calendar year or partial calendar year in which the Building is not occupied to the extent of 95% of the rentable area thereof, the Variable Basic Costs (defined below) for such period shall, for the purposes hereof, be increased to the amount which would have been incurred had the Building been occupied to the extent of 95% of the rentable area thereof. As used herein, “Variable Basic Costs” means any Basic Cost that is variable in correlation with the level of occupancy of the Building.

5. Landlord shall maintain books and records reflecting the Basic Costs in accordance with sound accounting and management practices. Within 120 days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the Operating Costs, which shall include a computation of the Additional Rent. Upon receipt of the statement of Operating Costs, Tenant, at its expense, shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord, to audit or cause to be audited the financial records for the Project (including, without limitation, Landlord’s paid tax receipts) for the period reflected in such statement. Such audit must be completed during normal business hours in the property manager’s office or other location designated by Landlord and within one hundred eighty (180) days of Tenant’s receipt of such statement. In the event Landlord in good faith disputes the results of any such audit, the parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve any disputed items. If Landlord and Tenant are able to resolve such dispute, final settlement shall be made within thirty (30) days after resolution of the dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve any such dispute, any sum on which there is no longer dispute shall be paid and any remaining disputed items shall be referred to a mutually satisfactory third party certified public accountant for final resolution. The cost of such certified public accountant shall be paid by the party found to be least accurate (in terms of dollars in dispute). The determination of such certified public accountant shall be final and binding and final settlement shall be made within thirty (30) days after receipt of such accountant’s decision. The foregoing shall survive the Expiration Date.

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

Subject to any other existing and superior rights, Landlord shall grant under the terms of the Lease to the original Tenant and its “Affiliates” (as defined in the Lease) a one-time Right of First Refusal for contiguous space contained within the Building (“First Refusal Space”), provided Tenant is not in material or economic default (following any applicable notice and cure periods).

EXHIBIT D

TENANT FINISH-WORK: ALLOWANCE

1. Landlord shall deliver the Shell Building in the condition described on Exhibit D-l.

2. Tenant shall provide to Landlord for its approval final working drawings by             , prepared by ID Group, of all improvements that Tenant proposes to install in the Premises (or in the case of signage, to any portion of the Building); such working drawings shall include the partition layout, ceiling plan, electrical outlets and switches, telephone outlets, drawings for any modification to the mechanical and plumbing systems of the Building, and detailed plans and specifications for the construction of the improvements called for under this Exhibit in accordance with all applicable governmental laws, codes, rules, and regulations. Further, if any of Tenant’s proposed construction work will affect the Building’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning, electrical, mechanical, or plumbing systems, then the working drawings pertaining thereto shall be prepared by the engineer of record for the Building or other engineer reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, whom Tenant shall at its expense engage for such purpose. Landlord’s approval of such working drawings shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned provided that (1) they comply with all applicable governmental laws, codes, rules, and regulations, (2) such working drawings are sufficiently detailed to allow construction of the improvements in a good and workmanlike manner, (3) the improvements depicted thereon conform to the rules and regulations promulgated from time to time by Landlord for the construction of tenant improvements (a copy of which has been delivered to Tenant), and (4) they do not adversely affect the Building, its electrical, plumbing, HVAC, structural, or other systems. As used herein, Working Drawings shall mean the final working drawings approved by Landlord and Tenant, as amended from time to time by any approved changes thereto, and Work shall mean all improvements to be constructed in accordance with and as indicated on the Working Drawings. Approval by Landlord of the Working Drawings shall not be a representation or warranty of Landlord that such drawings are adequate for any use, purpose, or condition, or that such drawings comply with any applicable law or code, but shall merely be the consent of the Landlord to the performance of the Work. Landlord and Tenant shall indicate approval of the working Drawings by signing each page thereof. All changes in the Work must receive the prior written approval of Landlord, and in the event of any such approved change Tenant shall, upon completion of the Work, furnish Landlord with an accurate, reproducible “as-built” plan (e.g., sepia) of the improvements as constructed, which plan shall be incorporated into this Lease by this reference for all purposes.

3. Landlord shall diligently construct the Initial Improvements to the Premises in accordance with the Working Drawings, subject to any remaining items which do not materially interfere with or prevent Tenant from occupying and using the Premises for the permitted uses (i.e., punch-list items), and deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Commencement Date set forth in Section 3 of this Lease. If a delay in the substantial completion of the Initial Improvements occurs because of (a) any change by Tenant to the Working Drawings, (b) any specification by Tenant of materials or installations


in connection with the Working Drawings which are in addition to or other than Landlord’s standard finish-out materials or which materials, because of long lead-time requirements or shortage of supply/availability, will delay substantial completion of the Initial Improvements beyond the Commencement Date set forth in Section 3 of this Lease, or (c) any other cause within Tenant’s reasonable control, then Tenant’s obligation to pay rent shall commence on the scheduled Commencement Date. The term Substantial Completion or Substantially Completed shall mean that, in the opinion of the architect or space planner that prepared the Working Drawings, the Work has been completed substantially in accordance with the Working Drawings, subject to completion of minor punch list items that do not materially interfere with or prevent Tenant from occupying and using the Premises for the permitted uses. As soon as the Work has been substantially completed, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing that the Commencement Date has occurred. Within ten days thereafter, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in writing a punch list of items needing completion or correction. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such items within 30 days after it receives such notice. If tenant or its employees, agents or contractors delay completion of the Work, then the Commencement Date shall be the date that, in the Design Professional’s opinion, substantial completion would have occurred had such delays not occurred. Tenant may from time to time make changes to the Working Drawings with Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each subsequent request shall be set forth in a written notice delivered to Landlord, specifying in detail the requested change. If Tenant requests any such change, then (1) Tenant shall pay all additional costs in designing and constructing the Work as a result of such changes, (2) all delays in designing and constructing the Work caused by such changes shall not delay the Commencement Date, and (3) Tenant shall pay to Landlord the estimated additional costs in designing and constructing the Work that will be caused by such changes before any such change shall be made.

5. Tenant shall bear the entire cost of performing the Work (including, without limitation, design of the Work and preparation of the Working Drawings, costs of construction labor and materials (the Construction Hard Costs), electrical usage during construction (allocated to Tenant as reasonably agreed by Landlord and Tenant), janitorial services, signage, fees, and related non-ad valorem taxes and insurance costs, all of which costs are herein collectively called the Total Construction Costs) in excess of the Construction Allowance (hereinafter defined).

6. Landlord shall provide to Tenant a construction allowance (the Construction Allowance) equal to $20.00 per square foot of 6,706 Rentable Square Feet. Tenant shall be responsible for the amount by which the estimated Total Construction Costs exceed the Allowance, such amount to be invoiced by Landlord upon receipt of the first application for payment submitted by contractor, and payable by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) days of Tenant’s receipt of invoice therefor. Upon substantial completion of the Work and before Tenant occupies the Premises to conduct business therein, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the Total Construction Costs less (a) the amount of payments already made by Tenant, and (b) the amount of the Construction Allowance. Tenant may utilize any remaining Construction Allowance to offset cabling, wiring and the purchase and configuration of furniture fixtures and equipment.

7. Landlord shall designate Darryl Payne of Peloton Real Estate Management to coordinate the relationship between the Work, the Building, and the Building Systems. In


consideration for Landlord’s services, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a construction supervision fee equal to five percent (5%) of the Total Construction Costs for all improvements and alterations made to the Premises other than the Shell Construction, which fee shall be paid from the Construction Allowance.

8. To the extent not inconsistent with this Exhibit, Section 7(a) of the Lease shall govern the performance of the Work and Landlord’s and Tenant’s respective rights and obligations regarding the improvements installed pursuant thereto.
