12.1 Insurance

Lessor and Lessee shall comply with the respective insurance obligations as set forth below:  

(a) Lessor.  Lessor shall maintain (1) fire and extended coverage insurance, including vandalism and malicious mischief, on the office building, and (2) comprehensive general liability insurance.  The amounts shall be as required by Xxxxxx's mortgagee or as Lessor may deem reasonably appropriate, whichever is greater.  Lessor shall have no responsibility to maintain fire and extended coverage insurance on Lessee's contents.  The portion of Lessor's insurance premiums reasonably due to Lessee's acts or omissions or Xxxxxx's special use, improvements, or tenant finish-out (over and above Lessee's normal use as contemplated in paragraph 1.1(a)) shall be paid for by Lessee.

(b) Lessee.  Lessee shall provide Lessee's own public liability insurance for its operations on the leased premises in an amount equal to the minimum "primary coverage" amount required by Lessor's insurance carrier as a condition for purchasing umbrella liability insurance by Lessor.  In no event shall such coverage be less than $2,000,000.  Upon written notice by Lessor to Lessee, such dollar amount of Xxxxxx's liability policy shall be increased by the amount of any increase required by Xxxxxx's carrier for "primary coverage" under an umbrella liability policy.  Lessee is encouraged to maintain fire and extended coverage insurance (including theft, vandalism and malicious mischief) on the contents in Xxxxxx's office space, including fixtures, furniture, equipment, supplies, inventory, and other personal property.  Such property is not covered by Lessor's insurance. Lessor reserves the right to, from time to time during the Term, require additional or different coverage types or amounts if it becomes standard practice for buildings of comparable size and in a similar geographic submarket as the Project or if required by Lessor’s mortgagee.  In the event Lessee fails to maintain and pay for any of the insurance required under this Section 12.1(b), Lessor may (but without any obligation to do so) upon two (2) business days’ notice to Lessee, procure such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, in which event Lessee shall repay Lessor, as additional rent, all sums so paid by Lessor within thirty (30) days following Lessor’s written demand therefor.

(c) Insurance certificates.  Lessee shall provide Lessor with a certificate of Lessee's insurance or a copy thereof as required above within 7 days after Lessee initially occupies Lessee's office space or any portion thereof.  Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx's managing agent (if any) shall be named as additional insureds on Xxxxxx's liability insurance policy.  Upon written request by Xxxxxx, changes in the name of Lessor or Xxxxxx's managing agent shall be reflected on such certificate.  

(d) Notice from Lessee's Insurance Carrier. All policies of insurance to be provided by Lessee shall contain a provision (to the extent legally permitted) that the insurance company shall give Lessor 10 days' written notice to Lessor, in advance of (1) any cancellation or non-renewal of the policy, (2) any reduction in the policy amount, and (3) any deletion of additional insureds.  

12.2 Waiver of Subrogation

Lessee may not make any alterations, improvements, doorlock changes, or other modifications of any kind to the leased premises without Xxxxxx's written consent.  Consent for governmentally required changes may not be unreasonably withheld.  "Alterations" include but are not limited to improvements glued, screwed, nailed, or otherwise permanently attached to the building, structural changes, roof and wall penetrations, and all plumbing, electrical, and HVAC changes.  Requests for Lessor's approval shall be in writing and shall be detailed to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction.  The foregoing shall be done only by Xxxxxx's contractors or employees or by third parties approved by Xxxxxx in writing.  Lessee shall pay in advance for any requested alterations, improvements, lock changes, or other modifications which are approved and performed by Lessor.  If same are performed by Lessee with Xxxxxx's permission, Lessee shall not allow any liens to be placed against the buildings as a result of such additions or alterations.  Alterations, improvements, and modifications done at Xxxxxx's request shall comply with all applicable laws.  Changes in Xxxxxx's alterations or improvements in Lessee's space which may be later required by governmental action shall also be paid for by Xxxxxx.  

13.2 Americans With Disabilities Act

Lessor shall be responsible for any requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar state or local laws as relate to any common area entrance and exit doorways and elevators and any doors into Lessee's office space and to structural building items that Lessor is required to maintain under the terms of this lease.  Xxxxxx agrees to cooperate fully with Lessor to enable Lessor to timely comply with the provisions of this paragraph and to immediately forward to Lessor any notice Lessee receives regarding complaints, injuries, or claims by anyone claiming that those items which are the responsibility of Lessor do not comply with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act.  Lessee shall be responsible for any requirements under such architectural barrier laws as they relate to Xxxxxx's use of the Lessee's office space, including, but not limited to, the positioning of Lessee's furnishings within the office space.  Xxxxxx agrees to indemnify Lessor for any liability Lessor shall incur as a result of Xxxxxx's failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph. In addition to the provisions of this Section 13.2, Lessee shall be responsible for compliance with the Texas Architecture Barriers Act, Art. 9102 Tex.Civ.Stat.Xxx. (1994) and regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder, as all of the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, in the Leased Premises

14.1 Removal of Property by Xxxxxx

Lessee may remove its trade fixtures, furniture, and equipment only if (1) such removal is made prior to the end of the Lease Term and may be accomplished without damage of any kind to the Leased Premises or the Building, (2) Lessee is not in default under this lease at time of removal, and (3) such removal is not in anticipation of an early moveout prior to the end of the lease term.  Lessee shall pay all costs of removal.  Lessee shall have no rights to property remaining on the leased premises after moveout.  Lessee may not remove any alterations as defined in paragraph 13.1 or improvements such as wall-to-wall carpeting, book shelves, window coverings, drapes, cabinets, paneling, counters, kitchen or breakroom built-ins, shelving, wall covering, and anything else attached to the floor, walls, or ceilings.  If Lessor requests in writing, Lessee shall, immediately prior to moving out, remove any alterations, fixtures, equipment, and other property installed by Lessee.  Lessee shall pay for cleaning or repairing damage caused by Xxxxxx's removal of any property.  

15.1 Subletting and Assignment

Lessee may not sublet, assign, pledge, or mortgage this lease and may not grant licenses, commissions, or other rights of occupancy to all or any part of the leased premises without Lessor's prior written approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Sublessee's financial strength, reputation, personnel, and length of sublease or assignment shall be important factors in Lessor's approval.  Sale, transfer, or merger of the majority of the voting shares or voting partnership interests in Lessee (if a corporation or partnership) shall be considered an assignment; likewise for issuance of treasury stock or admission of a new general partner.  However, if Lessor gives such approval, Lessor shall be entitled to (1) 50% of any excess between Lessee's rental per square foot under the lease and the rental per square foot under the sublease or assignment, and (2) 50% of any other consideration flowing directly or indirectly from the sublessee or assignee to Lessee or Lessee's agents. The foregoing is in consideration of additional management performed or to be performed by Lessor under such sublease or assignment.  In addition to the foregoing, Lessor may charge Lessee a one-time fee equal to one month's lease rental for such additional administrative, investigative, and management services.  Violation of this lease by sublessees or assignees shall be deemed a violation by Xxxxxx.  Approval by Lessor of any sublease or assignment shall not release Lessee from any obligation under this lease and shall not constitute approval for subsequent subletting or assignment.  Sublessees or assignees shall be liable for all of Lessee's obligations under this lease unless otherwise specified in writing.  Upon default by Xxxxxx, any Sublessee shall pay all sublease rentals and other sums due Lessor, direct to Lessor, to be credited against sums owed to Lessor by Lessee under this lease.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing, no sublease or assignment shall be valid unless (1) a copy of this lease is attached thereto, (2) the sublessee or assignee agrees in writing to be liable for all of Lessee's obligations under this lease, and (3) Lessor's written approval is attached to the sublease or assignment.   At any time, Lessor may, at Lessor's option, release Lessee from further liability for all or any portion of Xxxxxx's office space that has been subleased or assigned to a third party; and Lessor may terminate the lease to the extent that it applies to such space.

16.1 Destruction by Fire or Other Casualty

(a) Total destruction, rent abatement, and restoration.  If Xxxxxx's office space is totally damaged by fire or other casualty so that it cannot reasonably be used by Xxxxxx and if this lease is not terminated as provided in subparagraph (d) below, there shall be a total abatement of Xxxxxx's rent and Lessee's obligation to pay office building operating expenses until Xxxxxx's office space is restored by Lessor and Lessee.  

(b) Partial destruction, rent abatement, and restoration. If Xxxxxx's office space is partially destroyed or damaged by fire or other hazard so that it can be only partially used by Lessee for the purposes allowed in this lease and if this lease is not terminated as provided in subparagraph (d) below, there shall be a partial abatement of Lessee's rent and Xxxxxx's obligation to pay office building operating expenses which fairly and reasonably corresponds to the time and extent to which Xxxxxx's office space cannot reasonably be used by Lessee.  

(c) Restoration.  Lessor's obligation to restore shall be limited to the condition of the leased premises existing prior to the casualty.  Lessor shall proceed with diligence to restore.  During restoration, Xxxxxx shall continue business to the extent practical in Lessee's reasonable judgment. To the extent Lessor does not receive insurance proceeds for the use of restoration from its mortgagee, Lessor may terminate this Lease pursuant to subsection (d) below.

(d) Lease termination.  If Xxxxxx's office space or the office center is so badly damaged that restoration and repairs cannot be completed within 6 months after the fire or casualty, as determined by Lessor following receipt of information from its insurance adjuster then this lease may be terminated as of the date of the destruction by either Lessor or Lessee by serving written notice upon the other.  Termination notice must be delivered within 30 days after the casualty.  If the casualty is caused by the act or negligence of Lessee or any of its agents, employees, visitors or contractors, Lessee shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the repairs and restoration and Lessor shall be under no obligation to make any repairs, and Lessor may terminate this Lease and pursue all remedies available against Lessee, under this Lease, at law or in equity.

17.1 Condemnation

If the leased premises or any material portion thereof, including any portion of the parking lot is taken by condemnation and if the leased premises is thereby reasonably rendered unusable for Lessee's business use and activities, this lease shall automatically terminate as of the date title vests in the condemning authority pursuant to such taking or acquisition; and Lessor and Lessee shall be relieved of all further obligations under this lease.  Lessor shall be entitled to recover from the condemning authority the full amount of Lessor's interest in this lease and in the property which is taken in condemnation; provided, however, if Xxxxxx is not in default hereunder on the day of taking or acquisition by the condemning authority, Lessee shall be allowed to recover from the condemning authority, at Xxxxxx's own expense, the value of Xxxxxx's remaining leasehold interest and Xxxxxx's trade fixtures, if any, which are taken in condemnation; but not otherwise.  Lessee shall be responsible for Xxxxxx's own attorney's fees and for proving its own damages.  

18.1 Default by Lessor

Lessee shall be entitled (as its sole and exclusive remedy) to recover actual damages and/or xxx Xxxxxx for injunctive relief if Lessor remains in default on any other obligation for thirty (30) days after Xxxxxx's written demand for performance.  However, Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor promptly commences to cure such noncompliance and diligently proceeds in good faith to cure same after receiving written notice of such default.  If taxes and utilities are not timely paid, Lessee may pay same to the extent that it is necessary to avert foreclosure or cutoff.  If Lessor fails to perform any covenant, term or condition of this lease that Lessor is obligated to perform and, as a consequence of such nonperformance, Xxxxxx shall recover a money judgment against Lessor, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of Lessor's equity in the property.  Lessor shall have no liability whatsoever for any deficiency, and no other property or assets of Lessor shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures as a result of such judgment. Except for Xxxxxx’s express rights of termination under this Lease, Lessee hereby waives all rights of termination or rescission.

MASTER

19.1 Default by Lessee

If Lessee defaults, Lessor shall have any or all remedies set forth below.

(a) Definition of default.  The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by Lessee: (1) failure to pay rent or any other sum due by Lessee under this lease within 7 days after written demand therefor by Lessor Lessor (provided, however, Lessor shall not be required to provide written notice and cure rights for such monetary default more than two (2) times in any twelve month lease year);(2) failure to vacate on or before the last day of the lease term, renewal term, or extension period in accordance with the terms of this lease; (3) failure to pay rent in advance on a daily basis in the event of unlawful holdover by Lessee in the amounts required under this Lease (provided, however, that the inclusion of this item as a default by Lessee shall not act to extend the Lease);; (4) unauthorized early move-out or notice of same as set forth below; (5) acquisition of Lessee's interest in the lease by a third party by judicial or non-judicial process; (6) failure to comply with any other provision of the lease (including rules) if such failure to comply is not cured as soon as possible l but not more than thirty (30) days following Lessor’s written notice of such failure or breach to Lessee); or (7) Lessee makes a general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors, a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy or for reorganization or arrangement is filed against Lessee [or Guarantor] and same is not removed within 90 days from the date of filing; Lessee [or any Guarantor] files a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding or consents to the appointment of a receiver.

(b) Utilities and services. If Lessee is in default for nonpayment of rent or other sums due and if Lessee fails to pay same in full within 3 days after Lessor hand delivers to Lessee or to Lessee's representative written notice of Xxxxxx's intent to terminate utilities or services which are furnished by Lessor, then Lessor may terminate such utilities or services after such 3-day notice period, without further notice.  Lessor's right to terminate such utilities or services shall occur automatically and without notice if Xxxxxx's rent is accelerated under subparagraph (d) below, relating to unlawful early move-out.  

(c) Acceleration after notice of rental delinquency. If Lessee is in default for nonpayment of rent or other sums due and if Lessee fails to pay same in full within 3 days after Lessor delivers to Lessee or to Xxxxxx's office space a written notice of Xxxxxx's intent to accelerate or if Lessee is otherwise in default under any other provision in subsection (a) above and Lessee fails to cure same within 3 days after Lessor delivers to Lessee or to the Leased Premises a written notice of Lessor’s intent to accelerate, then all rent (including base rent and additional rent) for the remainder of the lease term shall be accelerated, due, and delinquent at the end of such 3-day notice period without further demand or notice.  Such acceleration rights are in consideration of the rentals for the entire term being payable in monthly installments rather than in one lump sum at the beginning of the lease term.  If Xxxxxx has already vacated the Leased Premises, notice of acceleration may be delivered to Lessee pursuant to paragraph 29.1.  Liability for additional rents accruing in the future (over and above any base rents) shall not be waived by such acceleration.  

(d) Acceleration upon early move-out. If, following an uncured default by Xxxxxx, Lessee is lawfully evicted, or if Lessee moves out or gives verbal or written notice (in person or by an authorized employee or agent) of intent to move-out prior to the end of the lease term without the rent being paid in full for the entire remainder of the lease term or renewal or extension period or without prior written consent of Lessor, all remaining rents for the remainder of the lease term shall be accelerated immediately and automatically, without demand or notice.  Such accelerated rents shall be due and delinquent without notice before or after such acceleration.  Such acceleration shall not occur if the rent for the current month has been paid in full.  

(e) Termination of possession.  If Lessee is in default as defined in subparagraph (a) above and if Lessee remains in default for 3 days after Lessor gives notice of such default to Lessee, or if Lessee abandons the leased premises, Lessor may (with or without demand for performance) terminate Lessee's right of possession by giving one day's written notice to vacate; and Lessor shall be entitled to immediate possession without termination of Lessee's obligations under the lease.  Lessor's repossession shall not be considered an election to terminate this lease unless written notice of such intention to terminate is given to Lessee by Lessor.  Repossession may be by voluntary agreement or by eviction lawsuit.  Commencement of an eviction lawsuit shall not preclude other Lessor remedies under this lease or other laws.

(f) Reletting costs.  If Lessee is in default under this lease and if Lessor terminates Lessee's right of possession without terminating this lease and Lessee's space is released, Lessee shall pay upon Lessor's demand the following:  (1) all costs of reletting (which in no event shall be less than one month's rent), including leasing commissions, rent concessions (whether in the form of assuming or buying out lease remainders elsewhere, free rent for a period of time, or reduced rental rates), utilities during the vacancy, advertising costs, administrative overhead, and all costs of repair, remodeling, or redecorating for replacement tenants in the Leased Premises, (2) all rent and other indebtedness due from Lessee to Lessor through the date of termination of Xxxxxx's right of possession, and (3) all rent and other sums required to be paid by Lessee during the remainder of the entire lease term, subject to the acceleration paragraphs above.  

Page 11

MASTER

(g) Mitigation by Xxxxxx. Upon eviction or voluntary vacation of the Leased Premises by Xxxxxx without the lease being terminated by Lessor, Lessor shall make reasonable efforts to relet the Leased Premises.  After deduction of reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor, Lessee shall receive credit for any rentals received by Lessor through reletting the Leased Premises during the remainder of the lease term or renewal or extension period.  Such deductible expenses may include real estate commissions, attorney's fees, and all other expenses in connection with reletting.  Lawsuit to collect amounts due by Lessee under this lease may be brought from time to time on one or more occasions without the necessity of Lessor's waiting until the expiration of the lease term.  If judgment for accelerated rents is recovered, Lessor shall give credit against such judgment for subsequent payments made by Xxxxxx and subsequent rentals received by Xxxxxx from other tenants of Xxxxxx's the Leased Premises, less lawful deductions and expenses of reletting.  Lessor’s obligation to mitigate its damages resulting from a default shall be satisfied by Lessor taking any of the following actions to procure a substitute tenant and subject to the following criteria: (i) Lessor shall have no obligation to solicit or entertain negotiations with another prospective tenant for the Leased Premises until Lessor obtains full and complete possession of the Leased Premises (including without limitation, the final and unappealable legal right to relet the Leased Premises free from any claim of Lessee; Lessor shall not be obligated to offer the Leased Premises to a substitute tenant when other premises in the Project suitable for such prospective tenant’s use are (or soon will be) available; Lessor shall not be obligated to lease the Leased Premises to a substitute tenant for a rental less than the current fair market rental then prevailing for similar space, nor shall Lessor be obligated to enter into a new lease under terms and conditions unacceptable to Lessor in its reasonable discretion. Lessor shall have the right to take a substitute tenant’s financial status into account when determining whether to lease the Leased Premises to such substitute tenant. Lessor's commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Leased Premises using the above-referenced criteria shall be deemed to satisfy its obligations to mitigate damages.

(h) Termination of lease. Lessor may terminate this lease (as contrasted to termination of possession rights only) upon default by Lessee or at any time after Xxxxxx's lawful re-entry or repossession following default by Lessee.  Lessor's agents have authority to terminate the lease only by written notice given pursuant to paragraph 29.1.  

(i) Damages.  In addition to other remedies and rights under this Lease and available to Lessor at law or in equity (none of which are waived), Lessor may recover actual damages incurred following and as a result of such default.

20.1 Lien for Rent

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this lease, Xxxxxx's landlord lien shall be subordinate to any existing security interest and any future purchase money security interests on Xxxxxx's personal property if such security interest is properly perfected and timely recorded as required by the Texas Business Code.  Lessor shall cooperate in signing lien subordinations in accordance with the foregoing.  Any lien subordination shall be on forms reasonably acceptable to Lessor.  

(b) Subject to the limitations of subparagraph (a) above, Xxxxxx gives to Lessor a contractual lien on all of Lessee's property which may be found on the leased premises to secure payment of all monies and damages owed by Xxxxxx under the lease.  Such lien also covers all insurance proceeds on such property.  Lessee shall not remove such property while rent or other sums remain due and unpaid to Lessor and such property shall not be removed until all Lessee's obligations under the lease have been complied with.  This lien is in addition to Lessor's statutory lien under Section 54.021 of the Texas Property Code.  If Lessee is in default for nonpayment of rent or any other sums due by Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx's representatives may peacefully enter the leased premises and remove and store all property.  If Lessor removes any property under this lien, Lessor shall leave the following information in a conspicuous place inside Xxxxxx's office space:  (1) written notice of exercise of lien, (2) a list of items removed, (3) the name of Xxxxxx's representative who removed such items, and (4) the date of such removal.  Lessor shall be entitled to reasonable charges for packing, removing, or storing abandoned or seized property, and may sell same at public or private sale (subject to any properly recorded chattel mortgage or recorded financing statement) after 30 days' written notice of time and place of sale is given to Lessee by certified mail, return receipt requested.  Upon request by Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx shall acknowledge the above lien rights by executing a UCC-1 form or similar form reflecting same.  

21.1 Attorney's Fees, Interest, and Other Expenses

If Lessee or Lessor is in default and if the nondefaulting party places the lease in the hands of an attorney in order to enforce lease rights or remedies, the nondefaulting party may recover reasonable attorney's fees from the defaulting party even if suit has not been filed.  In any lawsuit enforcing lease rights, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees from the nonprevailing party, plus all out-of-pocket expenses.  Trial shall be to judge only.  All delinquent sums due by Lessor or Lessee shall bear interest at the maximum lawful rate of interest, compounded annually, from date of default until paid, plus any late payment fees.  Late payment fees as set forth in paragraph 3.2 shall be considered reasonable liquidated damages for the time, trouble, inconvenience, and administrative overhead expense incurred by Lessor in collecting late rentals, such elements of damages being uncertain and difficult to ascertain.  Late payment fees shall not be liquidated damages for attorney's fees or for Xxxxxx's loss of use of such funds during the time of delinquency.  

Page 12

MASTER

22.1 Non-Waiver

The acceptance of monies past due or the failure to complain of any action, nonaction, delayed payment, or default, whether singular or repetitive, shall not constitute a waiver of rights or obligations under the lease.  Lessor's or Lessee's waiver of any right or any default shall not constitute waiver of other rights, violations, defaults, or subsequent rights, violations, or defaults under this lease.  No act or omission by Lessor or Xxxxxx's agents shall be deemed an acceptance or surrender of the leased premises, and no agreement by Xxxxxx to accept a surrender of the leased premises shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by a duly authorized agent of Xxxxxx.  

23.1 Building Rules

Lessor's rules for the office building are attached as Exhibit F-2 and are subject to reasonable change if the changes are applicable to all tenants of the office building.  Separate parking rules are contained in paragraph F-1.  Xxxxxx agrees to provide a copy of the Office Building Rules (Exhibit F-2) to each of Lessee’s employees.

24.1 Transfer of Ownership by Xxxxxx

If Lessor transfers ownership of the office building (other than as security for a mortgage) and if Xxxxxx has delivered to the transferee all of Lessee's security deposits and any prepaid rents, Lessor shall be released from all liability under the lease; and such transferee shall become liable as Lessor.  Such right to be released of liability shall accrue to subsequent owners only if such transfer is in good faith and for consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event will future owners of the Leased Premises be required to pay leasing commissions that have not accrued prior to the date of their ownership unless such new owner enters into a separate agreement with the broker claiming same.

25.1 Mortgages

Lessee shall subordinate and attorn to mortgage liens now or hereafter on the office building.  Xxxxxx agrees to execute, from time to time, documentation therefor which is necessary in the reasonable judgment of Xxxxxx.  Other than the provisions already set forth in this lease, there are no special lease provisions which are required by lienholders of the office building.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this lease shall be subordinate to all existing and future mortgages.  However, such mortgagees may at any time subordinate their lien to this lease by filing a subordination notice in the county real property records without necessity of notice to Xxxxxx.  Xxxxxx xxxxxx and holds any mortgagee or holder of a security interest harmless from all claims of Xxxxxx against Lessor arising prior to such mortgagee succeeding to the Lessor's ownership interest in the property.  Upon written request by Lessor or Xxxxxx’s mortgagee, Xxxxxx shall execute and deliver a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in a form required by Lessor or Xxxxxx’s mortgagee no later than 5 business days following the request of Lessor or Xxxxxx’s mortgagee.

26.1 Surrender of Premises

When Xxxxxx moves out, Xxxxxx shall surrender Xxxxxx's office space in the same condition as on the date of lease commencement by Xxxxxx (as changed or improved from time to time in accordance with this lease), less ordinary wear.  Removal of property from the leased premises is subject to paragraph 14.1.  Upon surrender, Lessee shall provide Lessor with all of Xxxxxx's keys, access codes and cards to the Leased Premises and the combination to all safes and vaults, if any in the Leased Premises.

27.1 Holding Over

If Lessee remains in possession of the leased premises after the expiration or mutually-agreed termination date of the lease, without the execution by Lessor and Lessee of a new lease or a renewal or extension of the lease, then (1) Lessee shall be deemed to be occupying the leased premises as a tenant-at-sufferance on a daily basis, subject to all obligations of the lease, (2) Lessee shall pay rent for the entire holdover period at the rate of 150% of the then-current rental rate plus 150% of all additional rent due hereunder, (3) Lessee shall be subject to all other remedies of Lessor as provided in paragraph 19.1, (4) Lessee shall indemnify Lessor and/or prospective tenants for damages, including lost rentals, storage expenses, and attorney's fees, and (5) at Lessor's sole option, Lessee may extend the lease term for a period of one month at the then current rental rates for the office building, as reasonably determined by Lessor, by hand delivering written notice to Lessee or to Xxxxxx's office space while Lessee is holding over.  Holdover rents shall be immediately due on a daily basis and delinquent without notice or demand; and the prior written notice and waiting period requirements of this lease shall not be necessary in order for Lessor to exercise remedies thereunder.

28.1 Signs and Building Name

Except for standard suite signage and building directory listings, there shall be no signs, symbols, or identifying marks on or in the building, halls, elevators, staircases, entrances, parking areas, landscape areas, doors, walls, or windows without prior written approval of Lessor. The cost of initial suite signage for Xxxxxx's space and initial directory strips shall be at Lessee's expense.  All signs or lettering shall conform to the sign and lettering criteria established by Lessor.  Unless otherwise stated in the rules, suite signage and building directory changes shall be done exclusively by Lessor and at Lessee's expense.  Lessor may remove all unapproved signs without prior notice to Lessee and at Xxxxxx's expense.  Lessor may change the name of the building upon six months' written notice to Xxxxxx.  

28.2 Relocation of Lessee

Upon at least 60 days' notice to Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to relocate Lessee within the building in lease space which is the same size or larger and usable for Xxxxxx's intended use.  Such relocation shall be made at Xxxxxx's sole expense, including necessary reprinting of Xxxxxx's stationary, envelopes, business cards, door signs, etc.  Rent shall not be increased if the relocation office space is larger or better quality.  Relocation date shall be contained in the relocation notice referred to above.  Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee in connection with such relocation except for undue delay or property damages caused by Lessor or Lessor's employees, agents, or contractors.  

29.1 Notices

Whenever written notice is required or permitted under this lease, such notice shall be in writing and shall be either (a) hand delivered personally to the party being notified, (b) hand delivered to or inside such party's mailing address, or (c) delivered at such party's mailing address by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.  The mailing address of Lessor shall be the address to which Lessee normally mails or delivers the monthly rent unless Lessor notifies Lessee of a different address in writing.  The mailing address of Lessee shall be Xxxxxx's office space under this lease.  However, if Xxxxxx moves out, it shall be Xxxxxx's last address known by Xxxxxx.  Hand delivered notice is required only when expressly required in the lease.  Notice by noncertified mail is sufficient if actually received by the addressee or an employee or agent of addressee.  The term "notice" shall be inclusive of notices, xxxxxxxx, requests, and demands.  

30.1 Estoppel Certificates

From time to time, upon 7 days' prior written request from Lessor, Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor the estoppel certificate attached as Exhibit G.  The form in Exhibit G may be changed as reasonably required by a prospective purchaser or lender.  If any statement in the estoppel certificate form is contrary to the facts existing at the time of execution of such form, Lessee may correct same before signing.  Reasonable modifications in the form may be made as requested by a prospective lienholder or purchaser.  The estoppel certificate may be conclusively relied upon by Lessor and by any prospective lienholder or purchaser of the leased premises.  If Lessee fails to comply with the foregoing by the end of such 7-day period, it shall be conclusively presumed that (1) this lease is in full force and effect without any subleases or assignments and is unamended or modified except for amendments verified by affidavit of Lessor to the prospective lienholder or purchaser, (2) no rents, security deposits, or other charges have been prepaid, (3) the statements contained in the estoppel certificate form (Exhibit G) are correct, (4) there are no uncured defaults by Lessor, (5) Lessee has no right of offset or rescission, and (6) any prospective purchaser or lienholder may conclusively rely on such silence or noncompliance by Lessee and may conclusively assume no Lessor defaults within the 120 days following Lessee's receipt of Lessor's request for an estoppel certificate.

This lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, any guarantors of this lease, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, nothing herein shall modify any other provision in this Lease.

31.2 Leasing Agent Commissions

No leasing commission shall be due by Lessor to any leasing agent unless in a sperate agreement signed by Xxxxxx and such broker.  Commission agreements executed by Lessor shall not be binding on subsequent building owners if the tenant of the lease in question is in possession at the time of transfer of building ownership.  

32.1 Building Operating Expense

In addition to the monthly base rent in paragraph 2.1, without right of set-off, counterclaim, defense or abatement, Lessee shall pay additional rent on a monthly basis, equivalent to Xxxxxx's prorata share of actual building operating expenses as per Exhibit C attached hereto.  Lessee's responsibility for payment of building operating costs shall be subject to the expense stop referred to in Basic Lease Information #8.
