| 2 |
9. Tenant Improvements. Tenant Improvements for the Expansion Space and the Improvement Allowance are set forth on, and shall be governed by, New Exhibit "D" hereto.
10. Parking. In addition to the parking rights granted to Tenant in Exhibit "E" of the Original Lease and Section 10 of the First Amendment, Tenant shall also have a non-exclusive right to 3.5 Parking Spaces for every 1,000 square feet of Rentable Area in the Expansion Space (the "Expansion Parking Spaces") for a total of 87 additional unreserved spaces. If and to the extent available at the time of conversion, Tenant shall have the right to convert up to 4 of the Expansion Parking Spaces into reserved parking spaces located in the Parking Garage and 4 of the Expansion Parking Spaces into Executive Reserved Spaces located in the underground parking areas beneath the Building. A monthly charge of $35.00 plus applicable taxes per Reserved Parking Space shall apply to each of the Reserved Parking Spaces in the Parking Garage (except that the first 12 months after the Expansion Commencement Date shall be free of such charge) and a monthly charge of $75.00 plus applicable taxes per Parking Space shall be assessed for each Executive Reserved Parking Spaces in the Underground Parking Area. If Tenant exercises its right to convert Expansion Parking Spaces into Reserved Parking Spaces, Tenant will be charged for the reserved Parking Spaces regardless of whether the spaces are utilized. There is no monthly charge for unreserved parking spaces. Except as especially set forth in this paragraph, the provisions of Exhibit "E" to the Original Lease shall be applicable to the Expansion Parking Spaces.
As of April 1, 2014, Tenant shall have a non-exclusive right to a maximum of 482 Parking Spaces in the Parking Garage. Tenant acknowledges that it will be solely responsible for locating, securing and funding any alternative parking above the 482 vehicles off-site (not on the Complex). Tenant’s employees shall not be allowed to park vehicles in Visitor Parking Spaces at any time.
If Tenant requests more than 482 parking access cards for Tenant’s employees, then Landlord may incur additional costs to monitor Tenant’s use of the Parking Garage. Landlord may need to hire an additional security guard to monitor Visitor Parking and/or to install a technology and hardware upgrade to the existing parking access system (“System Upgrade”) to allow for the interchangeability of Tenant's parking cards. This System Upgrade will allow for Tenant's employees to have ingress and egress to the parking garage, up to the total number of parking spaces allowed in this Lease. Upon Tenant reaching the total number of parking spaces allowed in the Lease, the parking garage will restrict access to any other Tenant employee(s) until other Tenant employee(s) have exited the garage, thus reducing the number of Tenant employee(s) in the parking garage below the allowed number of parking spaces in the Lease. The current bid for this System Upgrade is estimated at approximately $68,000. If Landlord installs the System Upgrade to monitor Tenant’s use of the Parking Garage, then Tenant shall be required to contribute an amount equal to Tenant’s Share towards the cost of the System Upgrade upon installation. The System Upgrade will be installed so that the garage/property manager will be able to use the system for every car that enters and exits the garage, regardless of the tenant(s) using the system.

11. Termination of Right of First Refusal. The right of first refusal set forth on New Exhibit “H” of the First Amendment is hereby terminated and of no further force or effect.
12. Commissions. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Commercial Services, Inc. has acted on behalf of Landlord in connection with this Amendment and iOptimize Realty Inc. d/b/a Corporate Realty Consultants has acted on behalf of Tenant (collectively, "Brokers"). Landlord and Tenant agree that the Brokers are the only brokers involved in the procurement, negotiation or execution of this Lease, and that any commissions that may be payable by Landlord shall be paid pursuant to a separate commission agreement. LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY INDEMNIFY EACH OTHER FROM THE PAYMENT OF ANY COMMISSIONS OWED TO ANY OTHER BROKER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AMENDMENT RESULTING FROM THE ACTS OF SUCH INDEMNIFYING PARTY, BUT NOT OTHERWISE.
13. No Modification. Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect, and as said terms and conditions have been modified or amended hereby, same shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The Original Lease and this Amendment shall be construed as one instrument and any default under the Original Lease shall also be a default under this Amendment and any default under this Amendment shall also be a default under the Original Lease.
14. No Waiver. Landlord and Tenant expressly acknowledge and agree that nothing herein shall affect, abrogate or waive any rights or obligations of Landlord or Tenant under the Lease.
15. Governing Law. THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS HEREOF SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.
16. Headings. The section headings hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, amend, define or be used in the construction or interpretation of the text of such section.
17. Construction. Whenever the context hereof so requires, reference to the singular shall include the plural and likewise, the plural shall include the singular; words denoting gender shall be construed to mean the masculine, feminine or neuter, as appropriate; and specific enumeration shall not exclude the general, but shall be construed as cumulative of the general recitation.

18. Severability. If any clause or provision of this Amendment is or should ever be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law applicable to the terms hereof, then and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Amendment shall not be affected thereby, and that in lieu of each such clause or provision of this Amendment that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such clause or provision shall be judicially construed and interpreted to be as similar in substance and content to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision, as the context thereof would reasonably suggest, so as to thereafter be legal, valid and enforceable.
19. Ratification. Tenant hereby confirms and ratifies that, as of the Effective Date of this Amendment, and the Original Lease, as modified by this Amendment, remains in full force in effect.

Any capitalized terms not defined in this Tenant Improvements Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Amendment, or if not defined in the Amendment, then the meaning set forth in the Lease.

"Contractor" means the general contractor selected by mutual agreement of Landlord and Tenant to perform the Work, provided, however that Landlord and Tenant hereby approve the following to be the Contractor: Pacific Builders, Inc.; X.X. Xxxxx, Inc. and Balfour Xxxxxx Construction.
"Certificate of Occupancy" means a certificate of occupancy, governmental sign-off or other document, permit or approval (whether conditional, unconditional, temporary or permanent) which must be obtained by Landlord from the appropriate governmental authority as a condition to the lawful initial occupancy by Tenant of the Expansion Space that is the subject of the Work.
"Improvement Allowance" means $566,634.25.
“Landlord Delay” means any delay in the performance of the Work by the date set forth in the Timeline, for reasons that are not attributable to (A) a Tenant Delay, (B) Force Majeure, (C) unavailability of materials that were timely ordered and paid for, or (D) delays attributable to the failure of governmental authorities to timely grant approvals, permits or carry out inspections necessary to start or perform the Landlord’s Work but only with respect to that part of Landlord’s Work that the government delay prohibits from starting and further only if such failure is not due to Landlord’s or Contractor’s delay, fault, act, or omission. A Contractor’s delay is a Landlord Delay.
"Plans and Specifications" means the detailed construction documents for the Tenant Improvements referred to in paragraph 5 below.
"Space Plan" means the space plan to be prepared by Tenant in accordance with paragraph 2 below and approved by Landlord and Tenant, and showing the general configuration of the Tenant Improvements for the Expansion Space.

"Tenant Delay" means any delay caused by Tenant, including, without limitation, with respect to the Work, Tenant's failure to timely meet or comply with any part of the Timeline that is the responsibility of Tenant. A Tenant Delay excuses Landlord's performance of any obligation related thereto for a period equal to (a) the duration of the act, occurrence or omission that constitutes the Tenant Delay, or (b) if longer, the reasonable period of delay actually caused by such Tenant Delay. For this purpose, “timely” means the allotted amount of time for performance set forth in the Timeline after taking into consideration any delay due to the preceding tasks or obligations of Landlord and other conditions precedent to Tenant’s Timeline responsibility not being completed on or before the date contemplated in the Timeline.

“Timeline” means the timeline for the Tenant Improvements attached hereto as New Exhibit “D-1”.

This Plan preparation will include Tenant’s Architect engaging Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx to prepare the MEP plans for the Tenant Improvements. Landlord will approve or disapprove (specifically describing any reasons for disapproval) the Plans and Specifications in writing on or before the date set forth in the Timeline. If Landlord disapproves the Plans and Specifications, the Plans and Specifications will be revised. Tenant will resubmit such revised Plans and Specifications for approval (or disapproval) by Landlord on or before the date set forth in the Timeline on the same basis as set forth above.

If the contracts for the construction of the Tenant Improvements will exceed the Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall pay such excess in full. For all purposes of ownership, including risk of loss thereto, the Tenant Improvements will immediately upon installation be and remain a part of the Building and the property of Landlord. Work shall be deemed to completed upon Substantial Completion. Tenant hereby elects in writing to have Landlord's construction manager, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, manage the construction of the Tenant Improvements for this phase and agrees that such construction manager shall receive a fee for such services in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the hard costs of construction.

Tenant may elect to have Landlord's electrical contractor who is performing the electrical work as part of the Work install computer network (Ethernet or similar) and telephone wiring at the time this electrical contractor is also running electrical power to outlets and workstations.

All finish work and decoration and other work desired by Tenant and not included within the Tenant Improvements as set forth in the approved Plans and Specifications (including specifically, without limitation, the design and installation of all computer systems, telephone systems, telecommunications systems, removable fixtures, furnishings, and equipment) will be designed, furnished and installed by Tenant and may be chargeable against the Improvement Allowance. Tenant will perform all such work in the same manner and following the same procedures as are provided in this Lease for Alterations.

10. Liens and Claims.
