Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes in the same manner as provided above for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs. “Taxes” mean taxes, assessments, and governmental charges or fees whether federal, state, county or municipal. and whether they be by taxing districts or authorities presently taxing or by others, subsequently created or otherwise, and any other taxes and assessments (including non-governmental assessments for common charges under a restrictive covenant or other private agreement that are not treated as part of Operating Costs) now or hereafter attributable to the Project (or its operation), excluding, however, penalties and interest thereon and federal and state taxes on income (if the present method of taxation changes so that in lieu of or in addition to the whole or any part of any Taxes, there is levied on Landlord a capital tax directly on the rents received therefrom or a franchise tax, assessment, or charge based, in whole or in part, upon such rents for the Project (it being agreed that the so-called “margin tax” enacted by the Special Session of the Texas Legislature on May 2, 2006 in House Bill 3 is such a tax), then all such taxes, assessments, or charges, or the part thereof so based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “Taxes” for purposes hereof: provided, however, that for purposes of this paragraph, any such “margin tax” shall be calculated as if the Building is Xxxxxxxx’s only asset. Taxes shall include the costs of consultants retained in an effort to lower taxes and all costs incurred in disputing any taxes or in seeking to lower the tax valuation of the Project. Far purposes hereof, the amount of Taxes payable by Tenant hereunder shall be reduced by the full amount of any tax abatement or exemption provided by any applicable taxing authority in connection with the development, use or occupancy of the Premises. For property tax purposes, Tenant waives all rights to protest or appeal the appraised value of the Premises, as

LEASE AGREEMENT (INDUSTRIAL) - Page 3

well as the Project, and all rights to receive notices of reappraisement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to ad valorem taxes attributable to the Premises for all periods during the Term, except the last two (2) Lease Years thereof (taking into account any applicable Renewal Terms as to which Tenant shall have exercised a Renewal Option), (i) Landlord shall furnish written notice to Tenant whether Landlord intends to contest such taxes for the applicable year at least fifteen (15) days prior to the deadline date a notice of contest must be furnished to the taxing authorities, and (ii) if and only if (a) Landlord furnishes notice (“Landlord’s Notice”) to Tenant that Landlord is not contesting the taxes for a particular year, (b) no Event of Default is then in existence hereunder, (c) Tenant continues to lease one hundred percent (100%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises, and (iv) such taxes which Tenant desires to contest are not attributable or rendered with respect to any portion of the last two (2) Lease Years of the Term (taking into account any applicable Renewal Terms as to which Tenant shall have exercised a Renewal Option), then Tenant shall have the right to cause Landlord to contest, by appropriate legal proceedings or other lawful means, any increase in assessed value of the Project by furnishing written notice (the “Tax Contest Notice” to Landlord on or before five (5) days prior to the deadline date a notice of contest must be furnished to the applicable taxing authorities. In the event that Xxxxxxxx fails to timely deliver Landlord’s Notice to Tenant as provided in clause (a) of the preceding sentence, and all other conditions set forth in the preceding sentence have been satisfied, thenTenant shalt have the right to cause Landlord to contest any increase in assessed value in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence. All reasonable consultation fees, accountant fees, legal fees and other similar professional fees and expenses, or costs resulting from any challenge of tax assessments and the preparation therefor as reasonably incurred by Landlord (or a reasonable allocation thereof to the extent such challenge additionally relates to tax assessments applicable to portions of the Complex other than the Building) shall be included in Operating Costs.

(4) By April 1 of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of Operating Costs and Taxes for the previous year (the “Operation Costs and Tax Statement”). If Tenant’s estimated payments of Operating Costs or Taxes under this Section 4(b) for the year covered by the Operating Costs and Tax Statement exceed Xxxxxx’s Proportionate Share of such items as indicated in the Operating Costs and Tax Statement, then Landlord shall promptly credit or reimburse Tenant for such excess; likewise, if Xxxxxx’s estimated payments of Operating Costs or Taxes under this Section 4(b) for such year are less than Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such items as indicated in the Operating Costs and Tax Statement, then Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord such deficiency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord does not deliver to Tenant an Operating Costs and Tax Statement within one hundred eighty (180) days after the last day of any calendar year (the “Statement Deadline”), or if an Operating Costs and Tax Statement does not include a specific expense or item, Landlord shall no longer be entitled to collect and Tenant shall have no further obligation to pay with respect to such calendar year any additional amount not set forth on an Operating Costs and Tax Statement timely delivered by Landlord to Tenant regardless of whether such expenses or any additional amounts result from a change or error in accounting by Landlord.

Within 180 days after Landlord delivers the Operating Costs and Tax Statement for any calendar year (the “Audit Election Period”) Tenant may, at its expense, elect to audit Operating Costs and electrical expenses for such calendar year , subject to the following conditions: (1) there is no uncured Event of Default under this Lease existing beyond any applicable cure period; (2) the audit shall be prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm of recognized regional or national standing, a property management company, a leasing company or any reputable third-party firm that audits office leases reasonably acceptable to Landlord; (3) the audit shall commence within 30 days after Landlord makes Landlord’s books and records available to Tenant’s auditor and shall conclude within 90 days after commencement; (4) the audit shall be conducted during Landlord’s normal business hours at the location where Landlord maintains its books and records and shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Landlord’s business; and (5) Tenant and its auditor shall treat any audit in a confidential manner. This paragraph shall not be construed to limit, suspend, or xxxxx Xxxxxx’s obligation to pay Rent when due, including estimated Operating Costs. Landlord shall credit any overpayment determined by the final approved audit report against the next Rent due and owing by Tenant or, if no further Rent is due, refund such overpayment directly to Tenant within 30 days of determination. Likewise, Tenant shall pay Landlord any underpayment determined by the final approved audit report within 30 days of determination. The foregoing obligations shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. If Tenant does not give written notice of its election to audit Operating Costs during the Audit Election Period, the Operating Costs for the applicable calendar year shall be deemed approved for all purposes, and Tenant shall have no further right to review or contest the same. If the audit proves that Xxxxxxxx’s calculation of tenant’s share of Operating Costs for the calendar year under inspection was overstated by more than five percent (5%), then, alter verification. Landlord shall pay Tenant’s actual reasonable out-of-pocket audit and inspection fees (not to exceed $5,000.00, and specifically excluding any travel and lodging expenses so long as the audit is performed in Carrollton, Texas) applicable to the review of said calendar year statement within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s invoice therefor.

5. Delinquent Payment; Handling Charges. All payments required of Tenant hereunder which are not paid within five (5) days following the date when due shall, bear interest from the date due until paid at the lesser of twelve percent per annum or the maximum lawful rate of interest (such lesser amount is referred to herein us the “Default Rate”); additionally, Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, may charge Tenant a fee equal to the greater of (a) $50.00 or (b) two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the delinquent payment to reimburse Landlord for its cost and inconvenience incurred as a consequence of Tenant’s delinquency with respect to any amount not paid within five (5) days following the date when due, if such nonpayment continues for more than five (5) days following written notice from Landlord to Tenant (provided that such right to written notice shall be limited to a maximum of one (1) time during each calendar year of the term of this Lease). In no event, however, shall the charges permitted under this Section 0 or elsewhere in this Lease, to the extent they are considered to be interest under applicable Law, exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest. If any check is tendered by Tenant and not duly honored with good funds, Tenant shall, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, pay Landlord a “NSF” fee of $75.00, and landlord may require, by giving at least 15 days prior written notice to Tenant (and in addition to any other rights and remedies accruing pursuant to the terms. provisions or covenants of this Lease) that all future rental payments are to be made on or before the due date by cash, cashier’s check, or money order, and that the delivery of Tenant’s personal or corporate check will no longer constitute a payment of rental as provided in this Lease; provided, that at Tenant’s option, Tenant may make such payments by wire transfer in lieu of the foregoing requirements, and in such event, Landlord agrees to provide Landlord’s account number and related information to Tenant within five (5) days after request in order to enable Tenant to effectuate any such wire transfer. In addition, if Tenant fails in two (2) consecutive months to make rental payments within five (5) days after due date, Landlord, in order to reduce its administrative costs, may require, by giving at least 15 days prior written notice to Tenant (and in addition to any interest accruing pursuant to this Section 5 as well as any other rights and remedies accruing pursuant to the terms, provisions or covenants of this Lease), all future rental payments are to be made on or before the due date by cash, cashier’s check. or money order, and that the delivery of Tenant’s personal or corporate check will no longer constitute a payment of rental as provided in this Lease; provided, that at Tenant’s option, Tenant may make such payments by wire transfer in lieu of the foregoing requirements, and in such event, Landlord agrees to provide Xxxxxxxx’s account number and related information to Tenant within five (5) days after request in order to enable Tenant to effectuate any such wire transfer. Any acceptance of a personal or corporate check thereafter by Landlord shall not be construed as a subsequent waiver of said rights, regardless of any notation on said check or any condition with which Tenant offers such check to Landlord.

6. Security Deposit. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Security Deposit, which shall be held by Landlord to secure Tenant’s performance of its obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit is not on advance payment of Rent or a measure or limit of Landlord’s damages upon an Event of Default (as defined herein).

Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within 15 days after demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Subject to the requirements of, and conditions imposed by.

Landlord and Tenant agree that such deductions shall include, without limitation, all damages and losses that Landlord has suffered as a result of any breach of this Lease by Tenant which have not been previously reimbursed by Xxxxxx. The Security Deposit may be comingled with other funds, and no interest shall be paid thereon. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and, upon such transfer and the delivery to Tenant of an acknowledgement of the transferee’s responsibility for the Security Deposit as provided by Law, Landlord thereafter shall have no further liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Notwithstanding the foregoing. Tenant shall have the right to elect to provide the Security Deposit in the form of an unconditional, irrevocable and transferable letter of credit (such letter of credit and any renewals or substitutions thereof herein called the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount of the Security Deposit in a form mutually acceptable to all parties.

Xxxxxxxx’s receipt of or satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights that Landlord holds against Tenant. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any communication or report that Tenant makes to any governmental authority regarding any possible violation of Environmental Requirements or release or threat of release of any Hazardous Materials onto or from the Premises or the Project. Tenant shall, within five days of receipt thereof, provide Landlord with a copy of any documents or correspondence received from any governmental agency or other party relating to a possible violation of Environmental Requirements or claim or liability associated with the release or threat of release or any Hazardous Materials onto or from the Premises or the Project.

(f) Delivery of the Premises. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant free from any Hazardous Substance and shall conduct all of its activities on the Premises, Building and the Project in compliance with all Environmental Requirements.

(g) Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be liable, and shall have no obligation to indemnify Landlord, for any liabilities (including strict liabilities), penalties, demands, actions, costs and expenses (including without limitation legal fees), remediation and response costs, remediation plan preparation costs and any continuing monitoring or closure costs, incurred or suffered which arise from: (i) any Hazardous Materials located in, on or about the Project prior to the Commencement Date; or (ii) any Hazardous Substances not directly caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party. Prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a copy of a currently dated environmental report reflecting the environmental condition of the Project.

28. Parking. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to use all parking spaces associated with the Building. Landlord reserves the right to initiate steps to control the parking utilization through gates, access cards, hang-tags or other means as appropriate.

29. Other Provisions.

(a) Guaranty. As additional consideration for Landlord to enter into this Lease. Tenant shall cause Guarantor to execute the guaranty, attached hereto as Exhibit H and Tenant shall deliver same to Landlord contemporaneously with Xxxxxx's execution hereof. Tenant's failure to deliver such guaranty as required in the preceding sentence shall be an automatic Event of Default under this Lease, with no notice being necessary to Tenant, and Landlord shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it hereunder, as well as at law or in equity. Additionally, if Tenant fails to deliver such guaranty, Landlord, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, (1) shall not be required to perform any tenant improvement work in the Premises, (2) shall not be required to make any reimbursements or allowances in connection with any tenant improvement work, (3) shall not be required to pay any brokerage commissions to the broker or brokers representing Tenant in connection with this Lease (and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, and other liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by any broker or agent claiming the same by. through. or under Tenant), (4) may terminate this Lease by providing Tenant five days advance written notice thereof, and (5) shall not be required to honor any renewal rights set forth in this Lease, if any.

(b) Termination Right. In the event that Landlord fails to close on any construction financing for the construction of the Premises, or such construction has not commenced as of August 1, 2009 (which date shall be extended day-for-day in the event of Tenant's failure to deliver to Landlord a copy of this Lease executed by Xxxxxx on or before February 2, 2009). Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease with thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord; provided, however, that in the event that Landlord notifies Tenant within such thirty (30) day period that Landlord has closed such financing and commenced construction of the Premises, such termination shall be deemed to be null and void, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

After consultation with an attorney of Xxxxxx's own selection, Xxxxxx voluntarily consents to this waiver.
