ARTICLE 2: LEASE AND LEASE TERM
2.1 LEASE OF DEMISED PREMISES FOR LEASE TERM. Landlord leases the
Demised Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Demised Premises from Landlord
for the Lease Term
2
7
stated in Section 1.09. As used herein, the "Commencement Date" shall be the
date specified in Section 1.3 for the beginning of the Lease Term, unless
advanced or delayed under any provision of this Lease.
2.2 DELAY IN COMMENCEMENT. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant if
Landlord does not deliver possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant on the
first date specified in Section 1.3 above. Landlord's nondelivery of
possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant on that date shall not affect this
Lease or the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. However, the Commencement
Date shall be delayed until possession of the Demised Premises is delivered to
Tenant. The Lease Term shall be extended for a period equal to the delay in
delivery of possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant, plus the number of
days necessary for the Lease Term to expire on the last day of a month. If
Landlord does not deliver possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant within
ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date, Tenant may elect to cancel this
Lease by giving written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after the
ninety (90) day period ends. If Tenant gives such notice, the Lease shall be
canceled effective as of the date of its execution, and no party hereto shall
have any obligations, one to the other. If Tenant does not give such notice
within the time specified, Tenant shall have no right to cancel the Lease, and
the Lease Term shall commence upon the delivery of possession of the Demised
Premises to Tenant. If delivery of possession of the Demised Premises to
Tenant is delayed, Landlord and Tenant shall, upon such delivery, execute an
amendment to this Lease setting forth the Commencement Date and expiration date
of the Lease Term.
2.3 EARLY OCCUPANCY. If Tenant occupies the Demised Premises prior
to the Commencement Date, Tenant's occupancy of the Demised Premises shall be
subject to all of the provisions of this Lease. Early occupancy of the Demised
Premises shall not advance the expiration date of the Lease Term. Unless
provided otherwise herein, Tenant shall pay Base Rent and all other charges
specified in this Lease for the period of occupancy.
2.4 HOLDING OVER. Tenant shall vacate the Demised Premises upon the
expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for and indemnify Landlord against all damages
incurred by Landlord as a result of any delay by Tenant in vacating the Demised
Premises. If Tenant does not vacate the Demised Premises upon the expiration
of the Lease Term or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant's occupancy of
the Demised Premises shall be a "month to month" tenancy, subject to all of the
terms of this Lease applicable to a month to month tenancy, provided Rent shall
be one and one half times (1 1/2) times the Base Rent in effect as of the
expiration of the Term.
ARTICLE 3: RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT
3.1 MANNER OF PAYMENT. All sums payable hereunder by Tenant (the
"Rent") shall be made to the Landlord at the address designated in Section 1.7
or to such other party or address as Landlord may designate. Any and all
payments made to a designated third party for the account
3
8
of the Landlord shall be deemed made to Landlord when received by said
designated third party. All sums payable by Tenant hereunder, whether or not
expressly denominated as rent, shall constitute rent for the purposes of
Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code and for all other purposes. The Base
Rent is the minimum rent for the Demised Premises and is subject to the terms
and conditions contained in this Lease together with the Exhibits attached
hereto, if any.
3.2 TIME OF PAYMENT. On or before the first day of each month of the
Lease, the installment of Base Rent and other sums due hereunder shall be due
and payable, in advance, without off-set, deduction or prior demand.
Percentage Rent shall be payable at the time set out in Section 3.3, below. If
the Lease Term commences or ends on a day other than the first or last day of a
calendar month, the rent for any fractional calendar month following the
Commencement Date or preceding the end of the Lease Term shall be prorated by
days.
3.3 PERCENTAGE RENT. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord Percentage Rental
on its Gross Sales on an annual basis, in arrears, by no later than April 1
during any Lease Year.
3.4 "GROSS SALES". For purposes of this Lease, annual Gross Sales
shall include the market value of all goods produced and sold, by Tenant, any
Affiliate or any Subtenant, whether for cash or otherwise, in or from the
Premises or any other facility occupied by Tenant or any Affiliate or any
Subtenant located in the Texas Research Park, including, but not limited to,
mail or telephone orders received or filled, and other deposits (offset by such
sums refunded to purchasers), orders taken, sales to employees, and sales by
any Subtenant. Each sale upon installment or credit shall be treated as a sale
for the full price in the month during which the sale was made, irrespective of
the time when Tenant receives payment. Gross sales shall not include, however,
any sums collected and paid out for any sales or excise tax imposed by any duly
constituted governmental authority, nor the amount of returns to shippers or
manufacturers nor the amount of any cash or credit refund made upon any sale if
the merchandise sold, or some part thereof, is thereafter returned by Purchaser
and accepted by Tenant or any subtenant of Tenant nor sales of Tenant's or
Subtenant's fixtures. Where only a portion of the final product produced and
sold by Tenant, any Affiliate, or any Subtenant is manufactured at the Premises
or any other facility located in the Texas Research Park, Gross Sales shall
include such portion of the sales price of the goods as is equal to the product
of the sales price of the goods times a fraction the numerator of which shall
be the cost of manufacture for the work performed on the Premises or any other
facility located in the Texas Research Park and the denominator being the total
product cost of manufacture.
3.5 SALES REPORTS, RECORDS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
(1) On or before the 15th day of each calendar month
during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall prepare and deliver to Landlord at
the place where rental is then payable a certified statement of Gross Sales
during the preceding calendar month certified to be correct by an officer of
Tenant. In addition, within ninety (90) days after the expiration of each
calendar year and within ninety (90) days after the termination of this Lease,
if this Lease should not terminate at the end of a calendar year, Tenant shall
prepare and deliver to Landlord at the
4
9
place where rental is then payable a statement of Gross Sales from the Demised
Premises during the preceding calendar year (or partial calendar year),
certified to be correct by an independent Certified Public Accountant if Gross
Sales are in excess of $2,000,000.00. If Gross Sales are less than
$2,000,000.00, the statement may be certified by an officer of Tenant. Tenant
shall furnish similar statements for its licensees, concessionaires and
subtenants, if any. All such statements shall be in such form as the Landlord
may require; and, if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall also provide to
Landlord copies of any sales reports submitted by Tenant to the Comptroller of
the State of Texas.
(2) Tenant shall keep in the Demised Premises or at
some other location in the city where the Premises are located a permanent,
accurate set of books and records of all sales of goods and revenue derived
from business conducted in the Demised Premises or any other facility located
in the Texas Research Park, and all supporting records such as tax reports and
banking records. All such books and records shall be retained and preserved
for at least twenty-four (24) months after the end of the calendar year to
which they relate, and shall be subject to inspection and audit by Landlord and
its agents at all reasonable times.
(3) In the event that Tenant fails to deliver
statements of Gross Sales for two (2) consecutive months or in the event that
Landlord is not satisfied with the statements of Gross Sales submitted by
Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to have its auditors make a special audit
of all books and records, wherever located, pertaining to sales made in or from
the Demised Premises. If Tenant's statements are found to be incorrect to an
extent of more than five percent (5%) over the figures submitted by Tenant, or
if Tenant has failed to deliver statements, Tenant shall pay for such audit.
In addition, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord any deficiency which is
established by such audit.
3.6 GOOD FUNDS PAYMENTS. If, for any reason whatsoever, any two or
more payments by check from Tenant to Landlord for Rent are dishonored and
returned unpaid, thereafter, Landlord may, at Landlord's sole option, upon
written notice to Tenant, require that all future payments of Rent for the
remaining term of the Lease shall be made by cash, cashier's check, or money
order and that the delivery of Tenant's personal or corporate check will no
longer constitute payment of Rent as provided in this Lease. Any acceptance by
Landlord of a payment for Rent by Tenant's personal or corporate check
thereafter shall not be construed as a waiver of Landlord's right to insist
upon payment by good funds as set forth in this Section 3.6.
3.7 CONTINUOUS OPERATION AND MANNER OF OPERATION. Tenant shall
continuously operate the Demised Premises as a Good Manufacturing Practices
Plant.
5
10
ARTICLE 4: TAXES
4.1 PAYMENT BY LANDLORD. Subject to the requirements for Expense
Reimbursements, Landlord shall pay the real estate taxes on the Demised
Premises.
4.2 IMPROVEMENTS BY TENANT. In the event the real estate taxes
levied against the Demised Premises for the real estate tax year in which the
Lease Term commences are increased in the current tax year or subsequent tax
years as a result of any alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant
or by Landlord at the request of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon
demand the amount of such increase and continue to pay such increase during the
term of this Lease. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from the
tax assessor or assessors a written statement of the total amount of such
increase. It is expressly agreed that the Construction of Improvements are
being done at the request of Tenant.
4.3 JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the real estate taxes are assessed against
the Demised Premises jointly with other property not constituting a part of the
Demised Premises, the real estate taxes for such years shall be equal to the
amount bearing the same proportion to the aggregate assessment that the total
square feet of building area in the Demised Premises bears to the total square
feet of building area included in the joint assessment.
4.4 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay all taxes assessed
against trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, or any other personal property
belonging to Tenant. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to have its personal
property taxed separately from the Demised Premises, but if any of Tenant's
personal property is taxed with the Demised Premises, Tenant shall pay the
taxes for the personal property within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives
a written statement for such personal property taxes.
ARTICLE 5: INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY
5.1 CASUALTY INSURANCE. Subject to the provisions for Expense
Reimbursements, during the Lease Term, Landlord shall maintain policies of
insurance covering loss of or damage to the Demised Premises in such amount or
percentage of replacement value as Landlord deems reasonable in relation to
age, location, type of construction and physical condition of the Demised
Premises and the availability of such insurance at reasonable rates. Such
policies shall provide protection against all perils included within the
classification of fire and extended coverage and any other perils which
Landlord deems necessary. Landlord may obtain insurance coverage for Tenant's
fixtures, equipment or building improvements installed by Tenant in or on the
Demised Premises. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, maintain such primary or
additional insurance on its fixtures, equipment and building improvements as
Tenant deems necessary to protect its interest. Tenant shall not do or permit
to be done anything which invalidates any such insurance policies. Any
casualty insurance which may be carried by Landlord or Tenant shall be for the
sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance and under its sole control.
6
11
5.2 INCREASE IN PREMIUMS. Tenant shall not permit any operation or
activity to be conducted or storage or use of any volatile or any other
materials on or about the Demised Premises that would cause suspension or
cancellation of any fire and extended coverage insurance policy carried by
Landlord, or increase the premiums therefor, without the prior written consent
of Landlord. If Tenant's use and occupancy of the Demised Premises causes an
increase in the premiums for any fire and extended coverage insurance policy
carried by Landlord as of the day immediately prior to Tenant's possession of
the Demised Premises under this Lease, Tenant shall pay, as additional rental,
the amount of such increase to Landlord upon demand and presentation of written
evidence of the increase by Landlord.
5.3 LIABILITY INSURANCE. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall
maintain a policy of comprehensive public liability insurance, at Tenant's
expense, insuring Landlord against liability arising out of the ownership, use,
occupancy, or maintenance of the Demised Premises. The initial amount of such
insurance shall be at least $1,000,000 combined single-limit bodily injury and
property damage, for each occurrence, and shall be subject to periodic
increases based upon such economic factors as Landlord shall determine, in
Landlord's discretion, exercised in good faith. However, the amount of such
insurance shall not limit Tenant's liability nor relieve Tenant of any
obligation hereunder. The policy shall contain cross-liability endorsements,
if applicable, and shall insure Tenant's performance of the indemnity
provisions of Section 5.5. Such policy shall contain a provision which
prohibits cancellation or modification of the policy except upon thirty (30)
days' prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant may discharge its obligations
under this Section by naming Landlord as an additional insured under a policy
of comprehensive liability insurance maintained by Tenant and containing the
coverage and provisions described in this Section. Tenant shall deliver a copy
of such policy or certificate (or a renewal thereof) to Landlord prior to the
Commencement Date and prior to the expiration of any such policy during the
Lease Term. If Tenant fails to maintain such policy, Landlord may elect to
maintain such insurance at Tenant's expense. Tenant shall, at Tenant's
expense, maintain such other liability insurance as Tenant deems necessary to
protect Tenant.
5.4 RELEASE. EXCLUDING LANDLORD'S INTENTIONAL ACTS OR NEGLIGENT
ACTS, LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO TENANT OR TO TENANT'S EMPLOYEES, AGENTS,
INVITEES OR VISITORS, OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON WHOMSOEVER, FOR ANY INJURY TO
PERSONS OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY ON OR ABOUT THE DEMISED PREMISES OR ANY ADJACENT

claim which arises or may arise in its favor against the other party hereto

all loss of, or damage to, any of its property located within or upon, or
constituting a part of, the Demised Premises, which loss or damage is covered
by valid and collectible fire and extended coverage insurance policies, to the
extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under such insurance policies.
Such mutual waivers shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or
derogation of, any other waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect
to any loss of, or damage to, property of the parties hereto. Inasmuch as such

issued to such party policies of fire and extended coverage insurance, written
notice of the terms of such mutual waivers, and to cause such insurance

THOUGH THE CAUSE OF OR THE MEANS OF REPAIRING SUCH DAMAGE OR INJURY ARE NOT
ACCESSIBLE TO TENANT. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 6.8 SHALL NOT, HOWEVER,
EXEMPT LANDLORD FROM LIABILITY FOR LANDLORD'S NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
ARTICLE 7: PROPERTY CONDITION, MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS
7.1 PROPERTY CONDITION. Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord has
made no warranty or representation to Tenant with respect to the condition of
the Demised Premises, except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord
represents that on the Commencement Date, the plumbing, electrical and lighting
system, exterior doors, any fire protection sprinkler system, heating system,
and air conditioning equipment in the Demised Premises are in good operating
condition.
10
15
7.2 ACCEPTANCE OF DEMISED PREMISES. Tenant acknowledges that prior
to the Commencement Date it will make a full and complete inspection of the
Demised Premises and adjacent common areas and Tenant will be fully and
adequately aware of the existence of any defects which would interfere with
Tenant's use of the Demised Premises for their intended commercial purpose.
Landlord agrees to complete the punch list of items disclosed by such
inspections. Tenant specifically acknowledges that as a result of such
inspections and disclosure, Tenant will take possession of the Demised Premises
and will make its own determination to fully accept same in its as-is condition
as of the Commencement Date and waives any implied warranty of suitability for
commercial purposes. Upon completion Landlord shall assign all warranties from
contractors and building suppliers to Tenant and seek the approval of the
warrantors to such transfer, if applicable.
7.3 OBLIGATION TO REPAIR. Except as otherwise provided herein,
Landlord shall be under no obligation to perform any repair, maintenance or
management service in the Demised Premises or adjacent common areas. Tenant
shall be fully responsible, at its expense, for all repair, maintenance and
management services other than those which are expressly assumed by Landlord.
A. LANDLORD'S OBLIGATION TO REPAIR.
(1) Subject to the provisions of Article Eight (Damage or
Destruction) and Article Nine (Condemnation) and except for
damage caused by any act or omission of Tenant, Landlord shall
keep the foundation, roof and the structural portions of exterior
walls of the improvements of the Demised Premises in good order,
condition and repair. Landlord shall maintain the landscaping
and paving in the parking area adjacent to the Demised Premises,
but shall have the right to xxxx and be reimbursed by Tenant for
its allocable share of such costs. Landlord shall not be
obligated to maintain or repair windows, doors, plate glass or
the surfaces of walls. In addition, Landlord shall not be
obligated to make any repairs under this Section until a
reasonable time after receipt of written notice from Tenant of
the need of such repairs. If any repairs are required to be made
by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
promptly remove Tenant's fixtures, inventory, equipment and other
property, to the extent required to enable Landlord to make such
repairs. Landlord's liability hereunder shall be limited to the
cost of such repairs or corrections. Tenant waives the benefit
of any present or future law which might give Tenant the right to
repair the Demised Premises at Landlord's expense or to terminate
the Lease because of the condition. Subject to reimbursement for
Tenant's allocable share thereof, Landlord shall maintain the
landscaping and parking areas adjacent to the Demised Premises.
In making repairs, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to avoid
interference with Tenant's operations. If Landlord's repairs are
of such a character as to require closure of Tenant's facilities
for more than one (1) week, rental shall be abated for such
period of closure in excess of one (1) week.
11
16
(2) Landlord and Tenant expressly agree that all repair,
maintenance management and other services to be performed by
Landlord or Landlord's agents exclusively consist of the exercise
of professional judgment by such service providers, and Tenant
expressly waives any claims for breach of warranty against
Landlord arising from the performance of such services.
B. TENANT'S OBLIGATION TO REPAIR. Subject to the provisions
of the last sentence of Section 7.1, the preceding Section 7.3.
A, Article Eight (Damage or Destruction) and Article Nine
(Condemnation), Tenant shall, at all times, keep all other
portions of the Demised Premises in good order, condition and
repair, including but not limited to repairs (including all
necessary replacements) of the windows, plate glass, doors,
heating system, air conditioning equipment, electrical and
lighting system, fire protection sprinkler system, interior and
exterior plumbing and the interior of the building in general.
In addition, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, repair any damage
to any portion of the Property, including the roof, foundation,
or structural portions of exterior walls of the Demised Premises,
caused by Tenant's acts or omissions. If Tenant fails to
maintain and repair the Property as required by this Section,
Landlord may, on ten (10) days' prior written notice, enter the
Demised Premises and perform such maintenance or repair on behalf
of Tenant, except that no notice shall be required in case of
emergency, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs
incurred in performing such maintenance or repair immediately
upon demand.
7.4 ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS. Tenant shall not create
any openings in the roof or exterior walls, or make any alterations, additions
or improvements to the load-bearing elements of the structure of the Demised
Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be
withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Landlord, whether or not
reasonably exercised. Tenant must obtain prior written consent for
nonstructural alterations, additions or improvements, but such consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Landlord. Tenant shall have the
right to erect or install shelves, bins, machinery, air conditioning or heating
equipment and trade fixtures, provided that Tenant complies with all applicable
governmental laws, ordinances, codes, and regulations. At the expiration or
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the restrictions of Section
7.5 below, have the right to remove such items so installed by it, provided
Tenant is not in default at the time of such removal and provided further that
Tenant shall, at the time of removal of such items, repair in a good and
workmanlike manner any damage caused by installation or removal thereof.
Tenant shall pay for all costs incurred or arising out of alterations,
additions or improvements in or to the Demised Premises and shall not permit a
mechanic's or materialman's lien to be filed against the Demised Premises.
Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord proof of payment
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of all costs incurred or arising out of any
such alterations, additions or improvements.
12
17
7.5 CONDITION UPON TERMINATION. Upon the termination of the Lease,
Tenant shall surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord, broom clean and in the
same condition as received except for ordinary wear and tear which Tenant was
not otherwise obligated to remedy under any provision of the Lease. Tenant
shall not be obligated to repair any damage which Landlord is required to
repair under Article 8 (Damage or Destruction). In addition, Landlord may
require Tenant to remove any alterations, additions or improvements (whether or
not made with Landlord's consent) prior to the termination of the Lease and to
restore the Demised Premises to its prior condition, all at Tenant's expense.
All alterations, additions and improvements which Landlord has not required
Tenant to remove shall become Landlord's property and shall be surrendered to
Landlord upon the termination of the Lease. In no event, however, shall Tenant
remove any of the following materials or equipment without Landlord's prior
written consent: any power wiring or power panels; lighting or lighting
fixtures; wail coverings; drapes, blinds or other window coverings; carpets or
other floor coverings; heaters, air conditioners or any other heating or air
conditioning equipment; manufacturing equipment acquired by Landlord on behalf
of Tenant; fencing or security gates; or other similar building operating
equipment and decorations.
ARTICLE 8: DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
8.1 NOTICE. If the building or other improvements situated on the
Demised Premises should be damaged or destroyed by fire, tornado or other
casualty, Tenant shall immediately give written notice thereof to Landlord.
8.2 PARTIAL DAMAGE. If the building or other improvements situated
on the Demised Premises are damaged by fire, tornado, or other casualty but not
to such an extent that rebuilding or repairs cannot reasonably be completed
within two hundred ten (210) days from the date Landlord receives written
notification by Tenant of the happening of the damage, this Lease shall not
terminate, but Landlord shall, at its sole cost and risk, proceed forthwith and
use reasonable diligence to rebuild or repair such building and other
improvements on the Demised (other than leasehold improvements made by Tenant
or any assignee, subtenant or other occupant of the Demised Premises) to
substantially the condition in which they existed prior to such damage within
such two hundred ten (210) day period; provided, however, if the casually
occurs during the final eighteen (18) months of the Lease Term, Landlord shall
not be required to rebuild or repair such damage unless Tenant shall exercise
its renewal option (if any is contained herein) within fifteen (15) days after
the date of receipt by Landlord of the notification of the occurrence of the
damage. If Tenant does not elect to exercise its renewal option or if there is
no renewal option contained herein or previously unexercised at such time, this
Lease shall terminate at the option of Landlord and the Rent shall be abated
for the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective from the date of actual
receipt by Landlord of the written notification of the damage. If the building
and other improvements are to be rebuilt or repaired and are untenantable in
whole or in part following such damage, the monthly installments of Base Rent
payable hereunder during the period in which they are untenantable shall be
abated unless such untenantable condition is cause by Tenant, in which case
there shall be no abatement.
13
18
8.3 SUBSTANTIAL OR TOTAL DESTRUCTION. If the building or other
improvements situated on the Demised Premises are substantially or totally
destroyed by fire, tornado, or other casualty, or to damaged that rebuilding or
repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days
from the date Landlord receives written notification by Tenant of the happening
of the damage, this Lease shall terminate at the option of either Landlord or
Tenant and monthly installments of Rent shall be abated for the unexpired
portion of this Lease, effective from the date of receipt by Landlord or Tenant
of such written notification. If this Lease is not terminated, the building
and the improvements shall be rebuilt or repaired and monthly installments of
Rent abated to the extent provided under Section 8.2.
ARTICLE 9: CONDEMNATION
If, during the term of this Lease or any extension or renewal thereof,
all or a substantial part of the Demised Promises are taken for any public or
quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation or by
right of eminent domain, or are sold to the condemning authority under threat
of condemnation, this Lease shall terminate and the monthly installments of
Rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective from
the date of taking of the Demised Premises by the condemning authority, If less
than a substantial part of the Demised Premises is taken for public or quasi-
public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of
eminent domain, or is sold to the condemning authority under threat of
condemnation, Landlord, at its option, may by written notice terminate this
Lease or shall forthwith at its sole expense restore and reconstruct the
buildings and improvements (other than leasehold improvements made by Tenant or
any assignee, subtenant or other occupant of the Demised Premises) situated on
the Demised Premises in order to make the same reasonably tenantable and
suitable for the use for which the Demised Premises is leased as defined in
Section 6.1. The monthly installments of Base Rent payable hereunder during the
unexpired portion of this Lease shall be adjusted equitably. Landlord and
Tenant shall each be entitled to receive and retain such separate awards and
portions of lump sum awards as may be allocated to their respective interests
in any condemnation proceedings. The termination of this Lease shall not
affect the rights of the respective parties to such awards.
ARTICLE 10: ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign
this Lease or sublet the Demised Premises or any portion thereof. If the
United States Department of Commerce approves the proposed assignment or
subletting, Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent. Any
assignment or subletting shall be expressly subject to all terms and provisions
of this Lease, including the provisions of Section 6.1 and Section 16 of this
Lease pertaining to the use of the Demised Premises. In the event of any
assignment or subletting, Tenant shall remain fully liable for the full
performance of all Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall not
assign
14
19
its rights hereunder or sublet the Demised Premises without first obtaining a
written agreement from the assignee or sublessee whereby the assignee or
sublessee agrees to assume the obligations of Tenant and to be bound by the
terms of this Lease. No such assignment or subletting shall constitute a
novation. In the event of the occurrence of an event of default while the
Demised Premises is assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other
remedies provided herein or by law, may at Landlord's option, collect directly
from such assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due under such assignment or
subletting and apply such rent against any sums due to Landlord hereunder. No
direct collection by Landlord from any such assignee or subtenant shall release
Tenant from the performance of its obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE 11: DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
11.1 DEFAULT. Each of the following events shall be an event of
default under this Lease:
A. Failure of Tenant to pay any installment of the Rent or
other sum payable to Landlord hereunder on the date that same is due and
such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days;
B. Failure of Tenant to comply with any term, condition or
covenant of this Lease, other than the payment of Base Rent or other sum
of money, and such failure shall not be cured within thirty (30) days
after written notice thereof to Tenant; provided, that Tenant shall not
be in default if such default cannot be cured within such thirty (30)
days and Tenant commences to cure such default within such thirty (30)
day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the cure of such
default;
C. Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder
shall generally fail to pay its debts as they become due or shall admit
in writing its inability to pay its debts, or shall make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors;
D. Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder
shall commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or
composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment
of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or
for all or any substantial part of its property;
E. Any case, proceeding or other action against Tenant or any
guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder shall be commenced seeking
to have an order for relief entered against it as debtor, or seeking
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or
composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment
of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or
for all or any substantial part
15
20
of its property, and Tenant (i) fails to obtain a dismissal of such
case, proceeding, or other action within sixty (60) days of its
commencement; or (ii) converts the case from one chapter of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code to another chapter; or (iii) is the subject of an order
of relief which is not fully stayed within seven (7) business days after
the entry thereof; and
F. Abandonment by Tenant of any substantial portion of the
Demised Premises or cessation of the use of the Demised Premises for the
purpose leased.
11.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any of the events of default
listed in Section 11.1, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or
more of the following remedies without any prior notice or demand whatsoever:
A. Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall
immediately surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails
to so surrender the Demised Premises, Landlord may, without prejudice to
any other remedy which it may have for possession of the Demised
Premises or arrearages in Rent to the extent permitted by law, enter
upon and take possession of the Demised Premises and expel or remove
Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Demised Premises or
any part thereof, by legal process, without being liable for prosecution
or any claim for damages therefor. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on
demand the amount of all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by
reason of such termination, whether through inability to relet the
Demised Premises on satisfactory terms or otherwise.
B. Enter upon and take possession of the Demised Premises, by
legal process, without terminating this Lease and without being liable
for prosecution or for any claim for damages therefor, and expel or
remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Demised
Premises or any part thereof. Landlord may elect to release the Demised
Premises and receive the rent therefor. Tenant agrees to pay to
Landlord monthly or on demand from time to time any deficiency that may
arise by reason of any such reletting. In determining the amount of
such deficiency, the professional service fees, attorneys' fees,
remodeling expenses and other costs of reletting shall be subtracted
from the amount of rent received under such reletting.
C. Enter upon the Demised Premises in accordance with lawful
procedures, without terminating this Lease and without being liable for
prosecution or for any claim for damages therefor, and do whatever
Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease. Tenant agrees
to pay Landlord on demand for reasonable expenses which Landlord may
incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this
Lease, together with interest thereon at the rate of twelve percent
(12%) per annum from the date expended until paid. Landlord shall not
be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action, whether
caused by negligence of Landlord or otherwise.
16
21
D. No re-entry or taking possession of the Demised Premises
by Landlord shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease,
unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant.
Notwithstanding any such reletting or reentry or taking possession,
Landlord may, at any time thereafter, elect to terminate this Lease for
a previous default. Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not
preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies provided by law, nor shall
pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver
of any monthly installment of Rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any
damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the
terms, provisions and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by
Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an
event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver
of any other violation or default. The loss or damage that Landlord may
suffer by reason of termination of this Lease or the deficiency from any
reletting as provided for above shall include the expense of
repossession and any repairs or remodeling undertaken by Landlord
following possession. Should Landlord terminate this Lease at any time
for any default, in addition to any other remedy Landlord may have,
Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by
reason of such default, including the cost of recovering the Demised
Premises and the cost of the rental then remaining unpaid.
11.3 MITIGATION AND REASONABLENESS. Landlord shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages in the county of default. Any
recovery of costs and expenses shall be limited to those which are reasonable
in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas.
11.4 NOTICE OF DEFAULT. Tenant shall give written notice of any
failure by Landlord to perform any of its obligations under this Lease to
Landlord and to any ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under any deed of
trust encumbering the Demised Premises whose name and address have been
furnished to Tenant in writing. Landlord shall not be in default under this
Lease unless Landlord (or such ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary) fail to
cure nonperformance within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's notice.
However, if such nonperformance reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days
to cure, Landlord shall not be in default if such cure is commenced within such
30-day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.
11.5 LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. As used in this Lease, the
term "Landlord" means only the current owner or owners of the fee title to the
Demised Premises or the leasehold estate under a ground lease of the Demised
Premises at the time in question. Each Landlord is obligated to perform the
obligations of Landlord under this Lease, but only during the time such
Landlord owns such interest or title. Any Landlord who transfers its title or
interest is relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations of
Landlord under this Lease accruing on or after the date of transfer. Tenant
may pursue its claims against a selling Landlord following a sale by such
Landlord for up to the statutory limitation period.
17
22
ARTICLE 12: PROTECTION OF LENDERS
12.1 SUBORDINATION. This Lease is expressly made subordinate to the
Prior Lease, any existing mortgages and deeds of trust. Landlord shall have
the right to subordinate this Lease to any future ground Lease, deed of trust
or mortgage encumbering the Demised Premises, and advances made on the security
thereof and any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or
extensions thereof, whenever made or recorded. Landlord's right to obtain such
a future subordination is subject to Landlord's providing Tenant with a written
Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement from any such ground
lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee wherein Tenant's right to peaceable possession
of the Demised Premises during the Lease Term shall not be disturbed if Tenant
pays the Rent and performs all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and is
not otherwise in default. If any ground lessor, beneficiary, or mortgagee
elects to have this Lease superior to the lien of its ground lease, deed of
trust or mortgage and gives written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall
be deemed superior to such ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage whether this
Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said ground lease, deed of
trust or mortgage or the date of recording thereof. Tenant's rights under this
Lease, unless specifically modified at the time this Lease is executed, are
subordinated to any existing ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage
encumbering the Demised Premises.
12.2 ATTORNMENT. If Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises is
transferred voluntarily or involuntarily to any ground lessor, beneficiary
under a deed of trust, mortgagee or purchaser at a foreclosure sale, Tenant
shall attorn to the transferee of or successor to Landlord's interest in the
Demised Premises and recognize such transferee or successor as Landlord under
this Lease. Tenant waives the protection of any statute or rule of law which
gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate this Lease or surrender
possession of the Demised Premises upon the transfer of Landlord's interest.
12.3 SIGNING OF DOCUMENTS. Tenant shall sign and deliver any
instruments or documents necessary or appropriate to evidence any such
attornment or subordination or agreement to do so or any estoppel certificate.
12.4 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.
A. Upon Landlord's written request, Tenant shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying to
the best of Tenant's knowledge: (i) that none of the terms or
provisions of this Lease have been changed (or if they have been
changed, stating how they have been changed); (ii) that this Lease has
not been canceled or terminated; (iii) the last date of payment of the
Base Rent and other charges and the time period covered by such payment;
and (iv) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease (or, if
Landlord is claimed to be in default, stating why). Tenant shall
deliver such statement to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord's
request. Any such statement by Tenant may be furnished by Landlord to
any prospective purchaser or lender of the Demised Premises. Such
purchaser or lender may rely conclusively upon such statement as true
and correct.
18
23
B. If Tenant does not deliver such statement to Landlord
within such 10-day period, Landlord, and any prospective purchaser or
lender, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (i)
that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except
as otherwise represented by Landlord; (ii) that this Lease has not been

25
30
prohibit pharmaceutical manufacturing; (ii) events which constitute force
majeure (as defined in this Sublease) prohibit such expansion; (iii) Texas
Research and Technology Foundation has not offered inducements to Tenant at
least equal to those it offers as inducements to companies located outside the
Texas Research Park to relocate its business inside the Texas Research Park; or
(iv) Tenant determines in good faith that for good and valid business reasons
(excluding the obligation to pay Percentage Rent) to locate a Phase II or Phase
III Facility at a location other than the Texas Research Park and pays to
Landlord a fee according to the following schedule:
Years 0-7 $1,000,000.00

Years 11-12 $500,000.00
In addition, if Tenant relocates as a part of a relocation of a Phase II
or Phase III Facility, Tenant will pay Landlord up to two years of Base Rent if
a tenant acceptable to Landlord is not found to lease the Premises following
Tenant's relocation. Such payments will be due on an annual basis on the
anniversary of the Commencement Date and will be prorated for the portion of
the year during which the Premises are vacant. Tenant agrees that it will
assist the Landlord in locating a tenant for the Premises that will not result
in the Economic Development Administration to require repayment of the Economic
Development Administration Grant. If the relocation of Tenant results in the
Economic Development Administration demanding repayment of the Economic
Development Administration Grant, Tenant will also pay the amount of the
Economic Development Administration Grant on behalf of Landlord.
Tenant agrees that it will not relocate the initial operations in the
Premises unless same is done in connection with establishment of a Phase II or
Phase III facility or unless Tenant is acquired by an unrelated third party, in
which event the provisions set out above with respect to relocation shall also
be applicable to a relocation made under these latter circumstances.
For purposes of this Section 16.2, Tenant agrees that the operation of a
Phase II or Phase III Facility by any Affiliate shall be treated as the
operation of such facility by Tenant.

DATE OF LEASE:
1. OPTION(S) TO EXTEND TERM
Landlord hereby grants to Tenant options (the "Options") to extend the
Lease Term for three (3) additional term(s) of five (5) years each (the
"Extensions"], on the same terms, conditions and covenants set forth in the
Lease Agreement, except the rental for each such Extension must be agreed to
prior to the date of exercise of the Option in question. Each Option shall be
exercised only by written notice delivered to the Landlord at least One Hundred
Eighty (180) days before the expiration of the Lease Term or the preceding
Extension of the Lease Term. If Tenant fails to deliver Landlord notice of the
exercise of an Option within the prescribed time period, such Option and any
succeeding Options shall lapse, and there shall be no further right to extend
the Lease Term. Each Option shall be exercisable by Tenant on the express
condition that at the time of the exercise, and at all times prior to the
commencement of such Extension(s), Tenant shall not be in default under any of
the provisions of this Lease. The foregoing Option(s) are personal to Tenant
and may not be exercised by any assignee or subtenant, without the prior
written consent of Landlord.
2. CALCULATION OF RENT
The Base Rent during the Extension(s) shall be determined by one of the
following methods: [INDICATED BY CHECKING THE APPROPRIATE BOX UPON THE
EXECUTION OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT]
[ ] (a) Consumer Price Index Adjustment
[x] (b) Fair Rental Value Adjustment
[ ] (c) Fixed Rental Adjustment
A. CONSUMER PRICE INDEX ADJUSTMENT
The monthly rent during the particular Extension shall be
determined by multiplying the monthly installment of Base Rent during
the Lease Term by a fraction determined as follows:
(1) The numerator shall be the latest Index.
(2) The denominator shall be the initial Index.
If such computation would reduce, the rent for the particular
Extension, it shall be disregarded, and the rent during the immediately
preceding period shall apply instead.
30
35
The Index, as defined herein, shall mean the Consumer Price Index
for Urban Consumers (all items), Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, area (1984 =
100) published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
The initial Index shall mean the Index published for the nearest
calendar month preceding the commencement date of the Lease Term. The
latest Index shall mean the Index published for the nearest calendar
month preceding the first day of the Extension.
If a base year other than 1984 is adopted, the Index shall be
converted in accordance with the appropriate conversion factor. If the
Index is discontinued or revised, such other Index or computation with
which it is replaced shall be used in order to obtain substantially the
same result as would have been obtained it if had not discontinued or
revised.
B. FAIR RENTAL VALUE ADJUSTMENT
The Base Rent shall be increased on the first day of the
particular Extension to the "Fair Rental Value" of the Demised Premises,
determined in the following manner:
(1) If the Landlord and Tenant have not been able to
agree on the Fair Rental Value Adjustment prior to the date the
option is required to be exercised, the rent for the Extension
shall he determined as follows: Within fifteen (15) days
following the exercise of the option, Landlord and Tenant shall
endeavor in good faith to agree upon a single appraiser. If
Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single appraiser
within said fifteen (15) day period, each shall then, by written
notice to the other, given within ten (10) days after said
fifteen (15) day period, appoint one appraiser. Within ten (10)
days after the two appraisers are appointed, they shall appoint a
third appraiser. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint
its appraiser within the prescribed time period the single
appraiser appointed shall determine the Fair Rental Value of the
Demised Premises. Each party shall hear the cost of the
appraiser appointed by it and the parties shall share equally the
cost of the third appraiser.
(2) The "Fair Rental Value" of the Demised Premises
shall mean the price that a ready and willing tenant would pay as
of the commencement of the Extension as monthly rent to a ready
and willing landlord of demised premises comparable to the
Demised Premises if such property were exposed for lease on the
open market for a reasonable period of time and taking into
account all of the purposes for which such property may be used
and not just the use proposed to be made of the Demised Premises
by Tenant. The Fair Rental Value of the Demised Premises shall
be the average of the two of the three appraisals which are
closest in amount, and the third appraisal shall be disregarded.
In no event shall the rent be reduced by reason of such
computation. If the Fair Rental Value is not determined prior to
the commencement of the Extension, then Tenant shall continue to
pay to Landlord the rent applicable to the Demised Premises
immediately prior to such Extension until the Fair Rental Value
is determined, and when it is determined,
31
36
Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt
of such notice the difference between the rent actually paid
by Tenant to Landlord and the new rent determined hereunder.
C. FIXED ADJUSTMENTS
The Base Rent shall be increased to the following amounts on the following
dates:

shall be signed by both parties, with one signed set retained by Tenant.
Changes to said Plans and Specifications thereafter shall be made only by

METHOD OF CALCULATION OF PERCENTAGE RENTAL
During the first two years of the Lease, the obligation to pay
Percentage Rent will only arise after Tenant has made two million dollars
($2,000,000.00) in Gross Sales during such year. Once Tenant has made two
million dollars ($2,000,000.00) in Gross Sales in such lease year, it will owe
Percentage Rent of three percent (3%) on the initial two million dollars
($2,000,000.00) of Gross Sales, and two percent (2%) of Gross Sales greater
than two million dollars ($2,000,000.00), but less than five million dollars
($5,000,000.00) and one percent (1%) of Gross Sales in excess of five million
dollars ($5,000,000.00) up to Gross Sales of one hundred million dollars
($100,000,000.00).
During the third year of the Lease, the obligation to pay Percentage
Rent will only arise after Tenant has made one and one-half million dollars
($1,500,000.00) in Gross Sales during that year. Once Tenant has made one and
one-half million dollars ($1,500,000.00) in Gross Sales, it will owe percentage
rental of three percent (3%) of all Gross Sales in excess of one and one-half
million dollars ($1,500,000.00) up to two million dollars ($2,000,000.00). If
Gross Sales exceed two million dollars ($2,000,000.00), it will owe three
percent (3%) of all Gross Sales on the initial two million dollars
($2,000,000.00) and two percent (2%) of all Gross Sales greater than two
million dollars ($2,000,000.00), but less than five million dollars
($5,000,000.00) and one percent (1%) of all Gross Sales in excess of five
million dollars ($5,000,000.00) up to Gross Sales of one hundred million
dollars ($100,000,000.00).
During the fourth year of the Lease, and for any year thereafter during
the primary term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Percentage Rent for each year
of the Lease of three percent (3%) of all Gross Sales up to two million dollars
($2,000,000.00), two percent (2%) of all Gross Sales greater than two million
dollars ($2,000,000.00) and less than five million dollars ($5,000,000.00), and
one percent (1%) of all Gross Sales in excess of five million dollars
($5,000,000.00) up to Gross Sales of one hundred million dollars
($100,000,000.00).
Once the obligation to pay Percentage Rent arises during any year during
the primary term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Percentage Rental for prior
months of that year in accordance with the foregoing method of calculation.
