ARTICLE I.
LEASED
PREMISES
1. Subject to and upon the terms, provisions and
conditions hereinafter set forth, and each in consideration of
the duties, covenants and obligations of the other hereunder,
Lessor does hereby lease, demise and let to Lessee and Lessee
does hereby lease from Lessor those certain premises
(hereinafter sometimes called the "Leased Premises") in the
building known as the SPECTRUM (herein called the "Building"
and its legal description is attached hereto and marked as
Exhibit "A") located in San Antonio, Texas, such premises
being more particularly described as follows:
Approximately One Thousand Eighty Six Feet of Net Rentable
Area (1,086 NRA) located on the sixth (6th) floor of the
Spectrum Building
as reflected on the floor plan of such premises attached
hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit B.
2. The term "Net Rentable Area" (NRA) as used herein,
shall refer to (i) in the case of a single tenancy floor, all
floor area measured from the inside surface of the outer glass
or exterior wall of the Building to the inside surface of the
opposite exterior wall, excluding only the areas within the
outside walls used for elevator mechanical rooms, building
stairs, fire towers, elevator shafts, flues, vents, stacks,
vertical pipe shafts and vertical
2
ducts, but including such areas which are for the specific use
of the particular tenant such as special stairs or elevators,
plus an allocation of the square footage of the Building's
elevator and main mechanical rooms, ground level lobbies and
basement service area, and (ii) in the case of a partial
floor, all floor within the inside surface of the outer glass
or exterior wall enclosing the portion of the Leased Premises
on such floor and measured to the mid-point of the walls
separating areas leased by or held for lease to other tenants
or from areas devoted to corridors, elevator foyers, rest
rooms, mechanical rooms, janitor closets, vending areas and
other similar facilities for the use of all Tenants on the
particular floor (hereinafter sometimes called "Common
Areas"), but including a proportionate part of the Common
Areas located on such floor based upon the ratio which the
tenant's NRA on such floor bears to the aggregate NRA on such
floor plus an allocation of the square footage of the
Building's elevator and main mechanical rooms, columns or
projections necessary to the Building. All parking facilities
located within the Building are excluded from NRA. The NRA in
the Leased Premises has been calculated on the basis of the
foregoing definition and is hereby stipulated for all purposes
hereto to be approximately 1,086 square feet, whether the same
should be more or less as a result of minor variations
resulting from actual construction and completion of the
Leased Premises for occupancy so long as such work is in
accordance with the terms and provisions hereof.
ARTICLE II.
TERM 1. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein, or in any exhibit or addendum hereto, this
lease shall continue in force for a term of eighteen (18)
months, beginning on the 1st day of July, 1996, and ending on
the 31st day of December, 1997.
(b) In the event the Leased Premises should not
be ready for occupancy by said commencement date for any
reason, Lessor shall not be liable or responsible for any
claims, damages or liabilities in connection therewith or by
reason thereof. This Lease Agreement shall be effective only
from the time that the Leased Premises are ready for occupancy
by Lessee which date shall be the date of commencement of the
term of the Lease. Should the term of this lease commence on
a date other than that specified in Paragraph (1)a above, of
Article II, Lessor and Lessee will, at the request of either,
execute a declaration specifying the beginning date of the
term of this Lease Agreement. In such event, rental under
this Lease shall not commence until said revised commencement
date, and the stated term in this Lease shall thereupon
commence and the
2
3
expiration date shall be extended so as to give effect to the
full stated term.
USE
2. The Leased Premises are to be used and occupied by
Lessee solely for the purpose of general office space.
BASE
RENTAL
3. Lessee hereby agrees to pay annual rental (herein
called "Base Rental") in the sum of $15,747.00 per year.
Lessee shall pay, as additional rent, all other sums of money
as shall become due and payable by Lessee to Lessor under this
Lease. The Lessor shall have the same remedies of default for
the payment of additional rent as are available to Lessor in
the case of a default in the payment of Base Rental. Such
Base Rental, together with any adjustments of rent provided
for herein then in effect, shall be due and payable in twelve
(12) equal installments on the first day of each calendar
month during the initial term or any extensions or renewals
thereof, and Lessee hereby agrees to so pay such rent to
Lessor at such address as may be designated by Lessor monthly
in advance without demand. If the term of this Lease as
heretofore established commences on other than the first day
of a month or terminates on other than the last day of a
month, then the installment of Base Rental of such month or
months shall be prorated and the installment or installments
so prorated shall be paid in advance. All past due
installments of rent shall bear interest at 10% per annum
until paid.
SECURITY
DEPOSIT
4. Upon execution of this Lease, Lessee shall deposit
with Lessor and Lessor will keep on deposit at all times
during the term of this Lease, the sum of One Thousand Three
Hundred Twelve & 25/100 Dollars ($1,312.25) (the "Security
Deposit"), as security for the payment by Lessee of all rent
and other amounts herein agreed to be paid and for the
faithful performance of all the terms, conditions, and
covenants of this Lease. If, at any time during the term of
this Lease, Lessee shall be in default in the performance of
any provision of this Lease, Lessor shall have the right to
use said deposit, or so much thereof as necessary, in payment
of any rent or other amount of default in reimbursement of any
expense incurred by Lessor, and in payment of any damages
incurred by Lessor by reason of Lessee's default. In such
event, Lessee shall, on
3
4
written demand of Lessor, pay to Lessor a sufficient amount in
cash to restore the deposit. To the extent the deposit has
not been utilized, for such purposes, it shall be refunded to
Lessee within sixty (60) days after the termination of the
Lease or surrender and acceptance of the Premises, whichever
occurs last. Lessor shall have the right to commingle the
deposit with other funds of Lessor and no interest shall be
paid thereon to Lessee (except as required by law). Lessor
shall deliver the funds deposited by Lessee to the purchaser
of Lessor's interest in the Premises in the event such
interest be sold and, thereupon, Lessor shall be discharged
from further liability with respect to the deposit. If claims
of Lessor exceed the deposit, Lessee shall remain liable for
the balance of such claims.
BASE
RENTAL
ADJUSTMENT
5. The Base Rental Adjustment shall be calculated in
accordance with the following:
(a) Lessee's Base Rental includes a component
applicable to Basic Costs (hereinafter defined) equal to the
1996 cost per square foot of NRA of the Leased Premises.
(b) Prior to the commencement of each calendar
year of Lessee's occupancy, Lessor shall provide an estimate
of Basic Costs for said calendar year. Lessee shall pay a
Base Rental for said calendar year adjusted upward or
downwards, as appropriate, by the amount of difference between
the prior calendar year's estimated Basic Costs and the coming
year's estimated Basic Costs.
(c) Within 150 days or as soon thereafter as
possible of the conclusion of each calendar year of the lease
term, Lessor shall furnish to Lessee a statement of Lessor's
Basic Costs for said lease year. A lump sum payment will be
made from Lessor to Lessee or from Lessee to Lessor, as
appropriate, within 30 days of the delivery of such statement
equal to the difference in actual Basic Costs and estimated
Basic Costs for which payments have been included in the
adjusted Base Rental set forth above for the just completed
year. The effect of this reconciliation payment is that
Lessee will pay during the lease term its share of Basic Costs
increases over the original 1996 cost per square foot and no
more.
(d) All increases in Basic Costs shall be paid by
Lessee in the proportion which Lessee's Net Rentable Area
4
5
bears to 100% of the total Net Rentable Area in the Building
or to the total Net Rentable Area leased in the Building (if
such total leased is greater than 100% of the total Building
NRA).
Nothing contained in this Paragraph 4 shall be
construed at any time so to reduce the monthly installments of
Base Rental payable hereunder below the amount set forth in
Article II, Paragraph 3, of this lease.
BASIC
COSTS
6. "Basic Costs" as said term is used herein shall
consist of all operating expenses of the Building, which shall
be computed on the accrual basis and shall include all

of the Building in operation from the beginning of the lease
term and such additional facilities in subsequent years as may

capital investment items which are primarily for the purpose
of reducing operating costs or which may be required by
governmental authority. All such costs shall be amortized

being determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and in no event to extend beyond the
reasonable life of the Building.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the
contrary, it is agreed that in the event the Building is not
fully occupied during any year of the lease term, an
adjustment shall be made in computing the Basic Costs for such
year so that the Basic Costs shall be computed for such year
as though the Building had been fully occupied during such
year.
Lessee at its expense shall have the right at any
reasonable time within twelve months after the end of a year
in which additional rent is due, to retain an independent
certified public accountant to audit Lessor's books and
records relating to this Lease for any year or years for which
additional rental payments become due; or at Lessor's sole
discretion, Lessor will provide such audit prepared by a
certified public accountant.

Agreement or sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof,
Lessee shall give Lessor written notice of such desire at
least sixty (60) days in advance of the date on which Lessee

sublet such space, subject, however, to subsequent written
approval of the proposed assignee or sublessee by Lessor; if

Lessor, then such excess rental shall be deemed additional
rent owed by Lessee to Lessor and shall be paid by Lessee to
Lessor in the same manner that Lessee pays the base rent as
outlined in Section II, paragraph 3, or (3) to refuse to
consent (with cause only) to Lessee's assignment or subleasing

LESSOR'S RIGHT
to RELET
3. In the event of default by Lessee in any of the terms
or covenants of this Lease or in the event the Leased Premises
are abandoned by Lessee, Lessor shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to relet same for the remainder of the term
provided for herein; and if the rent received through such

through reletting and in addition thereto, shall pay all
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any such
reletting, including but not limited to the cost of
renovating, altering and decorating for a new occupant.
Nothing herein shall be construed as in any way denying Lessor
the right in the event of abandonment of said premises or
other breach of this agreement by Lessee, to treat the same as
an entire breach and at Lessor's option to immediately xxx for
the entire
15
16
breach of this agreement and any and all damages which Lessor
suffers thereby.
HOLDING
OVER
4. In the event of holding over by Lessee after
expiration or termination of the Lease without the written
consent of Lessor, Lessee shall pay as liquidated damages

the Lease; in the event of any unauthorized holding over,
Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against all claims for damages
by any other Lessee to whom Lessor may have leased all or any
part of the premises covered hereby effective upon the
termination of this Lease. Any holding over with the consent
of Lessor in writing shall thereafter constitute this Lease a
lease from month to month.
FIRE
CLAUSE
5. In the event of a fire in the Leased Premises, Lessee
shall immediately give notice thereof to Lessor. If the
Leased Premises, though no fault or neglect of Lessee, its
agents, employees, invitees or visitors, shall be partially
destroyed by fire or other casualty so as to render the Leased
Premises untenantable, the rental herein shall xxxxx
thereafter until such time as the Leased Premises are made
tenantable as determined by Lessor. In the event of the total
destruction of the Leased Premises without fault or neglect of
Lessee, its agent, employees, invitees or visitors, or if from
such cause the same shall be so damaged that Lessor shall
decide not to rebuild, then all rent owed up to the time of
such destruction or termination shall be paid by Lessee and
henceforth this Lease shall cease and come to an end.
ATTORNEY'S
FEES
6. In the event Lessee makes default in the performance
of any of the terms, covenants, agreements or conditions
contained in this Lease and Lessor places the enforcement of
this Lease, or any part thereof, or the collection of any rent
due, or to become due hereunder, or recovery of the possession
of the Leased Premises in the hands of an attorney, or files
suit upon the same, Lessee agrees to pay Lessor's attorney's
fees.

parties hereto.
ASSIGNMENT
by LESSOR
8. Lessor shall have the right to transfer and assign,
in whole or in part, all its rights and obligations hereunder
and in the Building and property referred to herein, and in
such event and upon its transferee's assuming Lessor's
obligations hereunder (any such transferee to have the benefit
of, and be subject to, the provisions of Paragraph 8 and 9 of
Article III hereof) no further liability or obligation shall
thereafter accrue against Lessor hereunder.
DEFAULT
by LESSEE
9. If default shall be made in the payment of any sum to
be paid by Lessee under this Lease, and default shall continue
for ten (10) days, or default shall be made in the performance
of any of the other covenants or conditions which Lessee is
required to observe and to perform, and such default shall
continue for twenty (20) days, or if the interest of Lessee
under this Lease shall be levied on under execution or other
legal process, or if any petition shall be filed by or against
Lessee to declare Lessee bankrupt or to delay, reduce or
modify Lessee's debts or obligations, or if any petition shall
be filed or other action taken to reorganize or modify
Lessee's capital structure if Lessee be a corporation or other
entity, or if Lessee be declared insolvent according to law,
or if any assignment of Lessee's property shall be made for
the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver or trustee is
appointed for Lessee or its property, or if Lessee shall
abandon the Leased Premises during the term of this Lease or
any renewals or extensions thereof, then Lessor may treat the
occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing events as a
breach of this Lease (provided that no such levy, execution,
legal process or petition filed against Lessee shall
constitute breach of this Lease if Lessee shall vigorously
contest the same by appropriate proceedings and shall remove
or vacate the same within thirty (30) days from the date of
its creation, service or filing) and thereupon, at Lessor's
option, may have any one or more of the following described
remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided
at law or in equity.
17
18
(a) Lessor may terminate this Lease and forthwith
repossess the Leased Premises and be entitled to recover
forthwith as damages a sum of money equal to the total of (i)
the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, (ii) the unpaid
rent earned at the time of termination, plus interest thereon
at the maximum lawful rate per annum from the due date, (iii)
the balance of the rent for the remainder of the term less the
fair market value of the Leased Premises for said period, and
(iv) any other sum of money and damages owed by Lessee to
Lessor.
(b) Lessor may terminate Lessee's right of
possession (but not the Lease) and may repossess the Leased
Premises by forcible entry or detainer suit or otherwise,
without demand or notice of any kind to Lessee and without
terminating this Lease, in which event Lessor may, but shall
be under no obligation to do so, relet the same for the
account of Lessee for such rent and upon such terms as shall
be satisfactory to Lessor. For the purpose of such reletting
Lessor is authorized to decorate or to make any repairs,
changes, alterations or additions in or to Leased Premises
that may be necessary or convenient, and (i) if Lessor shall
fail or refuse to relet the Leased Premises, or (ii) if the
same are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from
such reletting after paying the unpaid basic and additional
rent due hereunder earned but unpaid at the time of reletting
plus ten percent per annum thereon, the cost of recovering
possession, and all of the costs and expenses of such
decorations, repairs, alterations and additions and the
expense of such reletting and of the collection of the rent
accruing therefrom to satisfy the rent provided for in this
lease to be paid, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor as damages a
sum equal to the amount of the rental reserved in this Lease
for such period or periods, or if the Leased Premises have
been relet, the Lessee shall satisfy and pay any such
deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time and Lessee
agrees that Lessor may file suit to recover any sums falling
due under the terms of this Article V, Paragraph 9(b) from
time to time; and that no delivery to or recovery of any
portion due Lessor hereunder shall be any defense in any
action to recover any amount not theretofore reduced to
judgment in favor of Lessor, nor shall such reletting be
construed as an election on the part of Lessor to terminate
this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given
by Lessor to Lessee. Notwithstanding any such reletting
without termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect
to terminate this Lease, for such previous breach.
NON-WAVIER
10. Failure of Lessor to declare any default immediately
upon occurrence thereof, or delay in taking action in
18
19
connection therewith, shall not waive such default, but Lessor
shall have the right to declare any such default at any time
and take such action as might be lawful or authorized
hereunder, either in law or in equity.
CASUALTY
INSURANCE
11. Lessor shall maintain fire and extended coverage
insurance on the portion of the Building constructed by
Lessor, including additions and improvements by Lessee which
are required to be made by Lessee by this Lease and which have
become or are to become the property of Lessor upon vacation
of the Leased Premises by Lessee. Said insurance shall be
maintained with an insurance company authorized to do business
in Texas, in amounts and with deductibles desired by Lessor
and at the expense of Lessor and payments for losses
thereunder shall be made solely to Lessor. Lessee shall
maintain at its expense fire and extended coverage insurance
on all of its personal property, including removable trade
fixtures located in the Leased Premises and on all additions
and improvements made by Lessee and not required to be insured
by Lessor above. If the annual premiums to be paid by Lessor
shall exceed the standard rates because Lessee's operations,
contents of the Leased Premises, or improvements with respect
to the Leased Premises beyond building standard, result in
extra-hazardous exposure, Lessee shall promptly pay the excess
amount of the premium upon request by Lessor. Lessee agrees
that it shall keep its furniture, fixtures, merchandise,
equipment and all items Lessee is obligated to maintain and
repair under this Lease but not items or Building nonstandard
items required to be insured by Lessor insured against loss or
damage by fire or other casualty covered by an "all risk",
multi-peril, or "special form" policy, including fire and
extended coverage, to the extent of full replacement cost of
such items. It is understood and agreed that Lessee assumes
all risk of damage to its own property arising from any cause
whatsoever, including without limitation, loss by theft or
otherwise.
LIABILITY
INSURANCE
12. Lessor and Lessee, each at their respective expense,
shall maintain a policy or policies of comprehensive general
liability insurance with the premiums thereon fully paid in
advance issued by and binding upon some solvent insurance
company, such insurance to afford minimum protection of not
less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in respect to
any one occurrence, and of not less than Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000.00) for property damage in any one
occurrence. The policy or
19
20
policies of insurance to be maintained by Lessee shall name
the Lessor as an additional insured and shall contain an
endorsement that such policies cannot be amended or modified
as to Lessor without fifteen (15) days prior written notice.
Lessee shall deliver duplicate original policies or
certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lessor not
less than twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of old
policies.
HOLD
HARMLESS
13. Lessee shall not be liable to Lessor, or to Lessor's
agents, servants, employees, customers or invitees for any
damage to person or property caused by any act, omission or
neglect of Lessor, its servants or employees, and Lessor
agrees to hold Lessee harmless from all claims for such
damage. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee, or to Lessee's
agents, servants, employees, customers or invitees for any
damage to person or property caused by an act, omission or
neglect of Lessee, its agents, servants or employees, and
Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from all
liability and claims for any such damage.
WAIVER of
SUBROGATION
RIGHTS
14. Anything in this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding, Lessor and Lessee each hereby waives any and
all rights of recovery, claim, action or cause of action,
against the other, its agents, officers, or employees, for any
loss or damage that may occur to the premises hereby demised,
or any part, or any improvements thereto, or any personal
property of such party therein, by reason of fire, the
elements, or any other cause which could be insured against
under the terms of standard fire and extended coverage
insurance policies referred to in Article V, Paragraph 2
hereof, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of
the other party hereto, its agents, officers or employees, and
covenants that no insurer shall hold any right of subrogation
against such other party. This waiver of subrogation
provision shall be effective to the full extent, but only to
the extent, that the same does not impair the effectiveness of
insurance policies of Lessor and Lessee.
SUBSTITUTION
15. At any time after the execution of this Lease
Agreement, Lessor may substitute for the Leased Premises other
premises in the Building (the "New Premises") in
20
21
which event the New Premises shall be deemed to be the Leased
Premises for all purposes hereunder provided:
(a) The New Premises shall be similar in area and
in appropriateness for Lessee's purposes; and
(b) Any such substitution is effected for the
purpose of accommodating a Lessee that will occupy all or a
substantial portion for the floor on which the Leased Premises
are located; and
(c) If Lessee is occupying the Leased Premises or
has borne costs for work which will have to be redone as a
result of the relocation at the time for any substitution,
Lessor shall pay the expense of moving Tenant, its property
and equipment from the Leased Premises and of completing the
New Premises with improvements at least equal to those located
in the Leased Premises.
(d) Lessor must give Lessee thirty (30) days
prior written notice of its intent to substitute the Leased
Premises.
NOTICE
16. All notices, demands, consents and approvals which
may be or are required to be given by either party to the
other hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been fully given when deposited in the United States
mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, and addressed
to the party to be notified at the address for such party
specified in this Lease Agreement, or to such other place as
the party to be notified may from time to time designate by at
least fifteen (15) days notice to the notifying party. Lessee
hereby appoints as an agent to receive the service of all
dispossessory or distraint proceedings and notices thereunder
the person in charge of or occupying the Leased Premises at
the time, and, if no person shall be in charge of or occupying
the same, then such service may be made by attaching the same
on the main entrance of the Leased Premises.
NO JOINT
VENTURE
17. This Lease shall not be deemed or construed to create
or establish any relationship (other than that of Landlord and
Tenant) or partnership or joint venture or similar
relationship or agreement between Lessor and Lessee hereunder.
21
22
This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the successors and assigns of the Lessor, and shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lessee, its
successors, and, to the extent assignment may be approved by
Lessor hereunder, Lessee's assigns. The pronouns of any
gender shall include the other genders, and either the
singular or the plural shall include the other.
All rights and remedies of Lessor under this Lease
shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other rights or
remedies allowed by law; and this lease is declared to be a
Texas contract, and all of the terms thereof shall be
construed according to the laws of the State of Texas.
