Master Lease A. All the obligations contained in the Master Lease conferred and imposed upon Sublessor (as Tenant therein) shall be borne by Sublessor and Sublessee in accordance with the Sublessor's Percentage and the Sublessee's Percentage, respectively, except as modified and amended by this Sublease, and all rights and privileges contained in the Master Lease conferred upon Sublessor (as Tenant therein), are hereby conferred and imposed upon Sublessee, to the extent of Sublessee's Percentage. Sublessor covenants and agrees it will make payment of the rentals reserved under the Master Lease as and when due, will perform Sublessor's insurance obligations under the Master Lease, and will otherwise fully and faithfully perform the terms and conditions of the Master Lease with respect to the Sublessor's Percentage. Sublessee covenants and agrees to otherwise fully and faithfully perform the terms and conditions of the Master Lease and the Sublease on its part to be performed. Neither the Sublessor nor Sublessee shall do or cause to be done any act which would or might cause the Master Lease, or the rights of Sublessor as tenant under the Master Lease to be endangered, cancelled, terminated, forfeited or surrendered, or which would or might cause Sublessor to be in default thereunder or liable for any damage, claim or penalty. Sublessee agrees, as an express inducement for Sublessor executing this Sublease, that if there is any conflict between the provisions of the Master Lease and this Sublease which would permit Sublessee to do or cause to be done any act which is prohibited by the Master Lease then the provisions of the Master Lease shall prevail.

DEMISE OF LEASED PREMISES Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord for Tenant's own use in the conduct of Tenant's business and not for purposes of speculating in real estate, for the Lease Term and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Lease, that certain interior space described in Article 1 as the Leased Premises, reserving and excepting to Landlord the right to fifty percent (50%) of all assignment consideration and excess rentals as provided in Article 7 below. Tenant's lease of the Leased Premises, together with the appurtenant right to use the Outside Areas as described in Paragraph 2.2 below, shall be conditioned upon and be subject to the continuing compliance by Tenant with (i) all the terms and conditions of this Lease, (ii) all Laws governing the use of the Leased Premises and the Property, (iii) all Private Restrictions, easements and other matters now of public record respecting the use of the Leased Premises and Property, and (iv) all reasonable rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord hereby reserves to itself and its designees all rights of access, use and occupancy of the Building roof, and Tenant shall have no right of access, use or occupancy of the Building roof except (if at all) to the extent required in order to enable Tenant to perform Tenant's maintenance and repair obligations pursuant to this Lease.
Initial Lease Term The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease except for the provisions of this Lease relating to the payment of Rent. The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall be as set forth in Section 3.1 of the Summary, shall commence on the date (the “Lease Commencement Date”) that is the earlier to occur of (i) the date Tenant commences to conduct business in any portion of the Premises, and (ii) the of “Substantial Completion”, as that term is defined in this Article 2, of the Premises by Landlord, and shall terminate on the date determined in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Summary (the “Lease Expiration Date”) unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. For purposes of this Lease, “Substantial Completion” of the Premises shall occur upon the completion of construction, as reasonably determined by Landlord, of the “Tenant Improvements,” as that term is defined in the Tenant Work Letter, in the Premises pursuant to the plans and drawings which are prepared and approved pursuant to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or legal equivalent, with the exception of any Punchlist Items (as defined below) and any Tenant fixtures, work-stations, built-in furniture, or equipment to be installed by Tenant or under the supervision of Contractor (as defined in Section 3 of the Tenant Work Letter). “Punchlist Items” shall mean only commercially reasonable punchlist items, the non-completion of which does not prevent the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or legal equivalent or unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, and which punchlist items shall be corrected promptly by Landlord (within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of written notice thereof from Tenant) without unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use of or access to or from the Premises. It is anticipated that the Lease Commencement Date will occur within sixteen (16) weeks after mutual execution of this Lease (such date, the “Target Commencement Date”), but this Lease shall not be void, voidable or subject to termination, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage, resulting from Landlord’s inability to deliver the Premises to Tenant by any particular date, except as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if the Lease Commencement Date does not occur within 60 days after the Target Commencement Date, other than due to Tenant Delay (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter) or Force Majeure, then Tenant, at its option, may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord given at any time after the expiration of such 60-day period but before the Lease Commencement Date actually occurs. In the event of such termination by Tenant, the first month’s Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses paid by Tenant and the Security Deposit shall be fully refunded to Tenant (subject to Landlord’s right to draw upon such Security Deposit as provided in Article 21 below) and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit “C”, attached hereto, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall (absent manifest error) execute and return to Landlord within five (5) business days of receipt thereof.
LANDLORD'S ACCESS TO PREMISES Landlord reserves and shall at any time upon reasonable notice and in compliance with Tenant’s reasonable security measures have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to supply any service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder to service and repair HVAC units, water pipes and sprinkler mains, and electrical and telephone risers servicing other parts of the Building, to show said Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants, to alter or repair the Premises or any portion of the Building, and to place “for sale” or “for rent” signs on the Building, all without being deemed guilty of an eviction of Tenant and without abatement of Rent, provided that the business of Tenant shall be interfered with as little as is reasonably practicable. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages or any inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of quiet enjoyment of the Premises and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock the main door to the Premises but not Tenant’s vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said door in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of the Premises, or any eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof. No provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or decoration except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed by Landlord.
Improvements to Premises Lessee shall take the Premises in its "as-is" condition for the Extended Term except for certain Leasehold Improvements (herein so called) to the Premises which shall be completed in accordance with the specifications attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Approved Plans"), which have been approved by both Lessor and Lessee. Lessor shall cause the Leasehold Improvements to be installed or constructed in accordance with the Approved Plans by Lessor's contractor. So long as no Event of Default (or event which with notice or lapse of time could become an Event of Default) has occurred under the Lease, Lessor agrees to provide Lessee an allowance equal to One Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand One Hundred Nineteen and No/100 Dollars ($153,119.00) (the "Improvement Allowance"), which allowance is to be used solely for completion of the Leasehold Improvements in accordance with the Approved Plans, and an additional allowance equal to Three Thousand Two Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,200.00) (the "Architectural Allowance"), which allowance is to be used solely for space planning and design services for the Premises. In the event that any alterations or modifications to the Premises are required in order to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the State of Texas equivalent laws and regulations, the cost of any such alterations or modifications shall be satisfied out of the Improvement Allowance. The cost of the Leasehold Improvements and the space planning and design fees is to be paid by Lessor out of the Improvement Allowance and the Architectural Allowance, respectively. Any completed work (labor or materials) outside the scope of the Approved Plans or the cost of which is in excess of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance, as the case may be, shall be at Lessee's sole cost and will be billed to Lessee by Lessor and will be due and payable within ten (10) days after Lessee's receipt of an invoice therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee will not be liable for work outside the scope of the Approved Plans or excess costs over the amount of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance unless Lessee has consented in writing to such work outside the scope of the Approved Plans or excess costs prior to the commencement of such work or the incurring of such excess costs. Any portion of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance remaining upon the completion of the Leasehold Improvements shall be deemed forfeited by Lessee. Lessor further acknowledges and agrees that Section 4.07 of the Lease is hereby amended to provide that Lessee shall not be required to surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor "in the same condition as when received", but rather shall be entitled to surrender possession of the Premises in the same condition as exists upon the completion of the Leasehold Improvements described in Paragraph 3 above, subject to any and all other requirements set forth in Section 4.07 of the Lease.
