12.2.2    Landlord may, at Landlord's election, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date set forth for termination in such notice. Upon such termination in writing of Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, as herein provided, this Lease shall terminate and Landlord shall be entitled to recover damages from Tenant as provided in accordance with any applicable existing or future Law providing for recovery of damages for such breach; provided, however, rental damages for any period after such termination shall not accrue beyond the date which is three (3) months’ after the later of such termination or the date Tenant vacates the Premises.

12.4    Waiver:  One party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the first party's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the first party's consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act by the other party.

No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to either party upon any breach by the other party under this Lease shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions herein contained.
13.    ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
13.1    By Tenant:  Tenant shall not sublet the Premises or assign or encumber its interest in this Lease, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments or encumbrances of this Lease or to one or more sublettings of the Premises shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, encumbrance, or subletting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the Premises without Landlord's consent (i) to a parent, subsidiary, or an entity under common control with Tenant, (ii) to a successor corporation related to Tenant by merger, consolidation or nonbankruptcy reorganization, (iii) in connection with the transfer of stock of Tenant, or (iii) in connection with the sale of substantially all of Tenant's assets.

14.    OFFER TO PURCHASE:
14.1    Tenant shall have the right of first offer to purchase the Premises in accordance with this paragraph 14. If Landlord intends to sell or market for sale the Premises, Landlord shall first notify Tenant of such intent (the “Offer Notice”). Tenant shall have thirty (30) days to notify Landlord of its intent to purchase the Premises in accordance with this paragraph 14. In the event Tenant does not timely notify Landlord of its election to purchase or not to purchase the Premises pursuant to this paragraph, Landlord may then offer the Premises to any third party. If, however, Landlord desires to sell the Premises more than one (1) year after the date of the Offer Notice or if Landlord desires to sell the Premises on economic terms (taking all factors into consideration) which is more favorable than the Offer Price (as hereinafter defined), Landlord shall then first re-offer the Premises to Tenant on such more favorable economic terms. Subject to the foregoing re-offer requirements, this offer is a one-time offer. If Tenant so elects to purchase the Premises:
(a)     Settlement for the purchase of the Premises shall be held at a place in the State of Texas as may be agreed to by the parties, ninety (90) days after the date the purchase notice is given to Landlord or, if such date is not a business day, on the first business day thereafter.
(b)     The “Offer Price” during the initial Lease term shall be (i) $1,500,000 plus (ii) an amount that delivers to Landlord interest on $1,500,000 at an annual rate equal to 10% compounded monthly from and after the Commencement Date to the time of settlement for the purchase (the “Settlement Date”) less (iii) the aggregate Monthly Rent received by Landlord through the Settlement Date (the “Received Rent”) adjusted to the present value of the Received Rent at an annual interest rate equal to 10% compounded monthly from and after the applicable payment date to the Settlement Date (the “Offer Price Formula”). The “Offer Price” during the Option term shall be an amount equal to the greater of the price derived from the Offer Price Formula and the price set forth in a written offer to purchase the Premises delivered by a bona fide third party to Landlord by the end of the thirty (30) day period following the Offer Notice. The Offer Price shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord at the time of settlement by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds.
(c)     The responsibility to pay closing costs for such purchase shall be allocated to Landlord and Tenant in accordance with local custom.
(d)    Landlord shall convey to Tenant good and marketable fee simple title to the Premises, free of monetary liens and encumbrances, by Special Warranty Deed which shall be in sufficient form to be recorded, in which Landlord shall covenant and agree that Landlord has not done, committed, or knowingly or willingly suffered to be done or committed, any act, matter or thing whatsoever whereby the Premises granted, or any part thereof, is charged or encumbered, except as hereafter permitted. Tenant shall accept title to the Premises subject to all other restrictions, encumbrances and exceptions of record existing on the date of this Lease, all zoning rules, regulations, restrictions or ordinances. Tenant’s title shall be insurable at ordinary rates by any reputable title insurance company selected by Tenant.

This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the state in which the Premises are located. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a factor.

This Lease shall, subject to the provisions regarding assignment, apply to and bind the respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of Landlord and Tenant.
