Related to Lease Condition of the Premises and Term

• Premises and Term In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent as provided in this Lease, and in consideration of the other terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease, Landlord hereby demises and leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby takes from Landlord certain premises described and delineated on the demising plan contained in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, situated within a building (the "Building") located on certain real property (the "Land") within the above-named County and State and more particularly described as follows: Approximately 16,111 square feet of space located at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Suites 105, 106, 107, 108, and 109, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx County, Texas, together with the other improvements erected upon said premises (the said premises and the improvements located therein being herein referred to as the "Premises"). To Have and to Hold the Premises, subject to the other terms and provisions of this Lease, for a term (the "Term") commencing on FEBRUARY 15, 2004 (the "Commencement Date") and ending THIRTY-SIX (36) months thereafter. If this Lease is executed before the Premises become vacant or otherwise available and ready for occupancy, or if any present tenant or occupant of the Premises holds over and Landlord cannot acquire possession of the Premises prior to the originally scheduled commencement date, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default, and Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Premises at such time as Landlord is able to tender the same; and Landlord hereby waives payment of rent covering any period prior to the tendering of possession of the Premises to Tenant. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant if Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date stated above. Landlord's non-delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date will not affect this Lease or the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. However, the Commencement Date will be delayed until possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant. The Term will be extended for a period equal to the delay in delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. If delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant is delayed, Landlord and Tenant shall, upon such delivery, execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the revised Commencement Date and expiration date of the Term. If Tenant occupies the Premises before the Commencement Date, Tenant's occupancy of the Premises will be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have acknowledged that it has inspected the Premises and accepts the Premises in their then present condition as suitable for the purpose for which the Premises are leased. Tenant further acknowledges that no representations as to the repair of the Premises, nor promises to alter, remodel, or improve the Premises, have been made by Landlord, except for those expressly set forth in this Lease.

• Condition of the Premises Tenant acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Lease, neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Property, or with respect to the suitability of the Premises, the Building or the Property for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, repair or otherwise prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy or to pay for or construct any improvements to the Premises except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease or in the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that (a) upon the Commencement Date, the Building and the Premises will be in material compliance with all Applicable Laws (in each case, without regard for any of the Finish Work, Tenant’s particular use (as opposed to the Permitted Use, generally), or the obligations of any other tenants in the Building with respect to their tenant improvements); (b) Landlord has full power and authority to enter into this Lease and has obtained all consents and taken all actions necessary in connection therewith other than to the extent provided in Section 14.6, below; and (c) upon the Commencement Date, the Building systems provided by Landlord and serving the Premises including electrical, HVAC, plumbing and other utility systems shall be in good working order and condition. Subject to the foregoing and Landlord’s obligation to repair latent defects in the Base Building Work as expressly provided in Section 1.1 of Exhibit 3.1, Tenant’s execution of this Lease and taking of possession of the Premises shall conclusively establish that the Premises, the Building and the Property were at such time in good, sanitary and satisfactory condition and repair; provided, nothing in this sentence relieves Landlord of its obligations pursuant to Section 8.1, below.

• Condition of Premises The Premises are demised to Tenant and Tenant accepts the same “as-is”, except that (a) if, not later than sixty (60) days following the date of this Lease, Tenant notifies Landlord that the Initial Premises or a portion thereof (clearly designated in such notice to Landlord) are to be delivered in shell condition (but absent such notice Landlord will not otherwise be obligated to perform the Shell Work, time being of the essence of such notice), the Landlord shall, with respect to such designated portion(s) of the Premises, perform the Shell Work described in Exhibit B-1 at Landlord’s sole cost and expense prior to September 1, 2013, and all other work necessary to prepare the Initial Premises for Tenant’s occupancy shall be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease and (b) as to space added to the Premises pursuant to Section 42.01, if Tenant elects as provided therein, that some or all of the space so added shall be delivered in shell condition (but absent such notice Landlord will not otherwise be obligated to perform the Shell Work, time being of the essence of such notice), the Landlord shall, with respect to such designated portion(s) of the Premises, perform the Shell Work described in Exhibit B-1 at Landlord’s sole cost and expense prior to the date which is ninety (90) days following the date on which the additional space would be delivered under Section 42.01 but for the Tenant election that the same be delivered in shell condition, and all other work necessary to prepare the space so added under Section 42.01 for Tenant’s occupancy shall be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease. Tenant’s taking possession of any portion of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that such portion of the Premises was in good order and satisfactory condition when Tenant took possession, and except for latent defects not readily apparent from a careful inspection of the Premises without cutting into or otherwise disturbing walls, floors or ceilings and punchlist items of which Tenant has delivered notice to Landlord, excluding items of damage caused by Tenant or its agents, independent contractors or suppliers (subject to the provisions of Section 3.01 of this Lease). No promise of Landlord to alter, remodel or improve the Property and no representation by Landlord or its agents respecting the condition of the Property has been made to Tenant or relied upon by Tenant other than as may be contained in this Lease or in any written amendment hereto signed by Landlord and Tenant.

• Condition of the Leased Property Lessee acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property. Lessee has examined and otherwise has knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property and has found the same to be satisfactory for its purposes hereunder. Lessee is leasing the Leased Property “as is” in its present condition. Lessee waives any claim or action against Lessor in respect of the condition of the Leased Property. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LEASED PROPERTY HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY LESSEE AND IS SATISFACTORY TO IT. Provided, however, to the extent permitted by law, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee all of Lessor’s rights to proceed against any predecessor in title (other than any Affiliate of Lessee, which conveyed the Property to Lessor) for breaches of warranties or representations or for latent defects in the Leased Property. Lessor shall fully cooperate with Lessee in the prosecution of any such claim, in Lessor’s or Lessee’s name, all at Lessee’s sole cost and expense. Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor from and against any claims, obligations and liabilities against or incurred by Lessor in connection with such cooperation.

• TENANT'S USE OF THE PREMISES In consideration of the agreements contained herein, Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases the Premises from Landlord, for the Term and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter provided. The Premises are leased subject to, and Tenant agrees not to violate, all present and future covenants, conditions and restrictions of record which affect the Land, all of such documents collectively referred to as the "Restrictions". As an appurtenance to the Premises, Tenant shall have the general and nonexclusive right, together with Landlord and the other tenants of the Project and their respective agents, to use the Common Area subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the purpose set forth in Tenant's Use Clause as designated in Article 2.n and for no other purpose. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises in violation of law or any covenant, condition or restriction affecting the Building or Project or the certificate of occupancy issued for the Building or Project, and shall, upon notice from Landlord, immediately discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any governmental authority having jurisdiction to be a violation of law or the certificate of occupancy. Tenant, at Tenant's own cost and expense, shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations, rules and/or any directions of any governmental agencies or authorities having jurisdiction which shall by reason of the nature of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Promises, impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to the Premises or its use or occupation. A judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission by Tenant in any action or proceeding against Tenant that Tenant has violated any such laws, ordinances, regulations, rules and/or directions in the use of the Premises shall be deemed to be a conclusive determination of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which will invalidate or increase the cost of any fire, extended coverage or other insurance policy covering the Building or Project and/or property located therein, and shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations, requirements and recommendations of the Board of Fire Insurance underwriters or any other organization performing a similar function. Tenant shall promptly upon demand reimburse Landlord for any additional premium charged for such policy by reason of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Article. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or Project, or injure or annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant assumes all responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health Act, the legal use and adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof with all applicable laws and regulations in effect during the form of this Lease.

• Damage or Destruction of Premises If the Premises, the Unit or the Building or any part thereof shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (a “casualty”), or ordered to be demolished by the action of any public authority in consequence of a casualty, or taken by any exercise of the right of eminent domain, Tenant shall immediately give notice thereof to Landlord. Unless this Lease is terminated as provided herein, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall proceed (or shall cause the Primary Board to proceed) with diligence to repair or cause to be repaired such damage so as to restore the Premises, the Building and access thereto, or what may remain thereof (including the Initial Tenant Work but excluding any other Tenant Work), as nearly as practicable to the condition they were in immediately prior to such damage, destruction or taking, subject to then applicable Legal Requirements and Title Matters, but neither Landlord nor the Primary Board shall be required to expend in such repair or rebuilding more than the proceeds of insurance or award of damages, if any, recovered or recoverable with respect to such damage, destruction or taking (plus, in the case of casualty, the amount of any insurance deductibles (which shall be deemed Operating Costs)), less Landlord’s (or the Primary Board’s) reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such proceeds or award, as the case may be, but in the case of damage or destruction only to the extent Landlord was carrying the insurance required to be carried pursuant to this Lease at the time of such damage or destruction. All such repairs made necessary by any negligent act or omission or any willful misconduct of Tenant shall be made by Landlord (or the Primary Board) at Tenant’s expense to the extent that the cost of such repairs is not covered by insurance proceeds available therefor (including the payment by Tenant of any applicable deductible amount). Landlord shall not be liable for delays in the making of any such repairs that are due to Force Majeure, nor shall Landlord be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting from delays in repairing such damage. All repairs to and replacements of Tenant Property and any Tenant Work other than the Initial Tenant Work shall be made by and at the expense of Tenant, which work Tenant shall promptly commence as soon as practicable and thereafter prosecute diligently to completion.

• Delay of the Substantial Completion of the Premises Except as provided in this Section 5.2, the Lease Commencement Date shall occur as set forth in the Lease and Section 5.1, above. If there shall be a delay or there are delays in the Substantial Completion of the Premises or in the occurrence of any of the other conditions precedent to the Lease Commencement Date, as set forth in the Lease, as a direct, indirect, partial, or total result of:

• Landlords and Tenants Property All fixtures, machinery, equipment, improvements and appurtenances attached to, or built into, the Premises at the commencement of, or during the Term, whether or not placed there by or at the expense of Tenant, shall become and remain a part of the Premises; shall be deemed the property of Landlord (the “Landlord’s Property”), without compensation or credit to Tenant; and shall not be removed by Tenant at the Expiration Date unless Landlord requires their removal (including, but not limited to, Alterations pursuant to Section 11). Further, any personal property in the Premises on the Commencement Date, movable or otherwise, unless installed and paid for by Tenant, shall also constitute Landlord’s Property and shall not be removed by Tenant. For purposes of this Lease, any references to “Tenant’s Property” shall mean any personal property for which Tenant has itself paid or manufactured, together with any machinery and equipment for which Tenant has paid and that is not attached to, or built into, the Premises. In no event shall Tenant remove any of the following materials or equipment from the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion): any power wiring or power panels, lighting or lighting fixtures, heaters, air conditioners or any other HVAC equipment, fencing or security gates, or other similar building operating equipment. At or before the Expiration Date, or the date of any earlier termination, Tenant, at its expense, shall remove from the Premises all of Tenant’s Property and any Alterations that Landlord requires be removed pursuant to Section 11, and Tenant shall repair (to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction) any damage to the Premises or the Property resulting from either or both of such installation and removal. Any other items of Tenant’s Property that remain in the Premises after the Expiration Date, or following an earlier termination date, may, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to have been abandoned, and in such case, such items of Tenant’s Property may be retained by Landlord as its property or be disposed of by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion and without accountability, at Tenant’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is in default under the terms of this Lease, Tenant may remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises only upon the express written direction of Landlord.

• Tenant’s Entry Into the Premises Prior to Substantial Completion Subject to the terms hereof and provided that Tenant and its agents do not interfere with, or delay, Contractor’s work in the Building and the Premises, at Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Contractor shall allow Tenant access to the Premises prior to the Substantial Completion of the Premises for the purpose of Tenant installing any necessary furniture, equipment or fixtures (including Tenant’s data and telephone equipment) in the Premises. Prior to Tenant’s entry into the Premises as permitted by the terms of this Section 6.01, Tenant shall submit a schedule to Landlord and Contractor, for their approval, which schedule shall detail the timing and purpose of Tenant’s entry, and Landlord will reasonably cooperate with Tenant to coordinate Landlord’s Contractor’s work of constructing the Tenant Improvements with such access by Tenant for the installation of Tenant’s furniture, equipment and fixtures. In connection with any such entry, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees shall fully cooperate, work in harmony and not, in any manner, interfere with Landlord or Landlord’s Contractor, agents or representatives in performing work in the Building and the Premises, or interfere with the general operation of the Building and/or the Project; and such entry shall be subject to the site management rules of Landlord and Landlord’s Contractor. If at any time any such person representing Tenant shall not be cooperative or shall otherwise cause or threaten to cause any such disharmony or interference, including, without limitation, labor disharmony, and Tenant fails to immediately institute and maintain corrective actions as directed by Landlord, then Landlord may revoke Tenant’s entry rights upon twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice to Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any such entry into and occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof by Tenant or any person or entity working for or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be subject to all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease, excluding only the covenant to pay Rent (until the occurrence of the Lease Commencement Date). Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant’s work made in or about the Premises in connection with such entry or to any property placed therein prior to the Lease Commencement Date, the same being at Tenant’s sole risk and liability. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damage to any portion of the Premises, including the Tenant Improvement work, caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees. If the performance of Tenant’s work in connection with such entry causes extra costs to be incurred by Landlord or requires the use of any Building services, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for such extra costs and/or shall pay Landlord for such Building services at Landlord’s standard rates then in effect. In addition, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and indemnify, protect and defend Landlord against any loss or damage to the Building or Premises and against injury to any persons caused by Tenant’s actions pursuant to this Section 6.01.

• Condition of Demised Premises Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall hire and take the Demised Premises from Landlord in its present state of title, subject to all existing liens, charges, encumbrances and any other matters affecting title. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease, Tenant agrees to accept the Demised Premises “as is,” in the existing condition and state of repair as of the date hereof and without recourse to Landlord. Tenant further agrees that no representations, statements or warranties, express or implied, have been made by or on behalf of Landlord and Tenant has not relied on any representations, statements or warranties, express or implied, in respect of the Demised Premises or in respect of the condition thereof or the present or future use or occupation that may be made thereof, the zoning or other Requirements (as hereinafter defined), transferable development rights, encumbrances thereon, appurtenances, or title thereto (except as may be expressly set forth in this Lease).
