LEASE AGREEMENT

THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, made and entered into by Alliance Gateway No. 58, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (“Landlord”) and Xxxxxx Equipment Company, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”);

WITNESSETH:

1. PREMISES AND TERM.

In consideration of the mutual obligations of Landlord and Tenant set forth herein, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby takes from Landlord, the Premises situated within the County of Xxxxxx, State of Texas, more particularly described and indicated by the cross-hatched area on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Premises”) which Premises are to constitute a portion of the Building to be constructed pursuant to the terms hereof, together with all rights, privileges, easements, appurtenances and annuities belonging to or in any way pertaining to the Premises, to have and to hold subject to the terms, covenants and conditions in this Lease. Tenant’s rights under this Lease shall be subject to all matters of public record, including, without limitation, all easements, deed restrictions, covenants, conditions and restriction, as may exist from time to time. The term of this Lease (“Term”) shall commence on the Commencement Date (hereinafter defined) and shall end on the last day of the month that is sixty-three (63) months after the Commencement Date. The Premises are to be situated on the Land described on Exhibit ”B” attached hereto and made a part hereof.

A. The “Commencement Date” shall be the date that is the earlier of (i) the date on which Tenant first occupies the Premises for the purpose of conducting its business, or (ii) the date upon which the Leasehold Improvements (hereinafter defined) to be erected in accordance with the Working Drawings (hereinafter defined) described on Exhibit "C" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference have been substantially completed. As used herein, the term “substantially completed” shall mean that, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, (i) such improvements have been completed in accordance with the Working Drawings; (ii) the Premises are in good and satisfactory condition, subject only to completion of minor punch list items; and (iii) a certificate of occupancy (the “CO”) has been issued for the Premises, provided, however, if the CO has not been issued due to the non-completion of work which is required to be done by Tenant in order to obtain the issuance of the CO, then the Leasehold Improvements shall be deemed to be “substantially completed” upon satisfaction of the conditions in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii). As soon as such improvements have been substantially completed, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing that the Commencement Date has occurred. Within ten (10) days thereafter, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in writing a punch list of items needing completion or correction. Landlord shall complete such items within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice. In the event Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors cause construction of such improvements to be delayed, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such delay and the Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the date that, in the opinion of Landlord, substantial completion would have occurred if such delays had not taken place. Xxxxxxxx’s approval of any plans, specifications or working drawings for the Premises shall create no responsibility of liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design, sufficiency or compliance with any laws, rules, or regulations of governmental agencies or authorities. After the Commencement Date, Tenant shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord a memorandum of acceptance of delivery of the Premises in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "D".

B. If the Commencement Date has not occurred by the date that is seventy (70) days after the date Landlord receives a building permit for the Work (as hereinafter defined) (which

seventy (70) day period shall be extended (i) by one day for each day constituting a Force Majeure Delay, and (ii) by one day for each day constituting a Tenant Delay, and which date, as so extended shall be referred to herein as the “First Deadline Date”), then Tenant shall be entitled to receive, as its sole and exclusive remedy, a credit against the first Base Rent due hereunder in an amount equal to $2,340.00 per day for each day that shall elapse from the First Deadline Date until the earlier to occur of the Second Deadline Date (hereinafter defined) or the Commencement Date. If the Commencement Date has not occurred by the date that is one hundred thirty (130) days after the date Landlord receives a building permit for the Work (which one hundred thirty (130) day period shall be extended (i) by one day for each day constituting a Force Majeure Delay, and (ii) by one day for each day constituting a Tenant Delay, and which date, as so extended, shall be referred to herein as the “Second Deadline Date”, then Tenant shall be entitled to receive, as its sole and exclusive remedy, a credit against the first Base Rent due hereunder in an amount equal to $4,680.00 per day for each day that shall elapse from the Second Deadline Date until the Commencement Date.

C. Notwithstanding the fact that the Term of this Lease and Xxxxxx’s obligation to pay rent does not commence until the Commencement Date, this Lease shall nevertheless be binding upon the parties in accordance with its terms when executed by Landlord and Tenant.

2. BASE RENT, SECURITY DEPOSIT AND ESCROW PAYMENTS.

X. Xxxxxx agrees to pay to Landlord base rent (“Base Rent”) for the Premises, in advance, without demand, deduction or set off, at the following rates and amounts during the Term hereof:

Months	Monthly Base Rent			Annual Base Rent		Per Square Foot Per Annum
1 – 3	$		0.00	$	0.00	$	0.00
4 - 63	$	42,184.17		*$	506,210.00	$		4.46

*Annual Base Rent for the first year of the Term of this Lease shall be $379,657.49.

The first monthly installment of Base Rent, plus the other monthly charges set forth in Paragraph 2C below, shall be due and payable on the date hereof and subsequent monthly installments shall be due and payable on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the Commencement Date, except that (i) all payments due hereunder for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated and (ii) no Base Rent is due during the first three months of the Term.

B. In addition, Xxxxxx agrees to deposit with Landlord on the date hereof (i) the sum of Fifty-Three Thousand Eight Hundred Seventeen and 91/100 Dollars ($53,817.91) in cash (“Cash Security Deposit”), and (ii) a letter of credit (“Letter of Credit”) in the sum of One Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($175,000.00) and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "I" and made a part hereof issued by a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Landlord, provided the Letter of Credit is payable upon presentation for collection at a branch location within the continental United States. A Letter of Credit shall be maintained in full force and effect at all times during the Term of this Lease. The Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date no earlier than the last day of the twelfth (12^th) full month following the Commencement Date and shall be renewed for successive one-year terms during the Term of this Lease. All renewals of the Letter of Credit must be delivered to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit then in effect and, if such renewals are not so timely

delivered to Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to present and receive payment on the then current Letter of Credit. The Cash Security Deposit and the Letter of Credit are collectively referred to herein as the “Security Deposit”. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood and agreed that this Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of Xxxxxx’s default. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default (hereinafter defined), Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit and use all or part of the proceeds thereof and/or use any portion of the Cash Security Deposit to pay past due rent or other payments due Landlord under this Lease, and the cost of any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such Event of Default without prejudice in any other remedy provided herein or provided by law. On demand, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount that will restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. The Security Deposit shall be deemed the property of Landlord, but any remaining balance of such Security Deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant when Tenant’s obligations under this Lease have been fulfilled.

C. In addition to Base Rent and Xxxxxx’s other obligations hereunder, Xxxxxx agrees to pay its proportionate share (as defined in the Basic Lease Information) of the following costs and expenses (collectively, the “Reimbursable Expenses”): (i) Taxes (hereinafter defined) payable by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 4A below, (ii) the cost of jointly metered utilities payable pursuant to Paragraph 9 below, (iii) the cost of maintaining insurance pursuant to Paragraph 10A below, (iv) Common Area Charges (hereinafter defined) payable by Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 3 below, (v) the cost of any repair, replacement, or capital expenditures required under any governmental law or regulation that was not applicable in the Building at time of original construction, and (vi) replacement reserves for capital items and other operating expenses required by this Lease. During each month of the Term of this Lease, on the same day that Base Rent is due hereunder. Tenant shall escrow with Landlord an amount equal to 1/12^th of the Tenant’s proportionate share of such Reimbursable Expenses as estimated by Landlord in good faith. Tenant authorizes Landlord to use the funds deposited with Landlord under this Paragraph 2C to pay such Reimbursable Expenses. Landlord shall be entitled to revise its projection in good faith of such Reimbursable Expenses at any time and if Landlord so revises such projection, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the same day as Base Rent is due hereunder, an amount equal to 1/12^th of Tenant’s proportionate share of such Reimbursable Expenses pursuant to Landlord’s good faith revised estimate thereof. By April 30 of each calendar year (or as soon thereafter as may be practicable) during the Term hereof Landlord shall determine the actual Reimbursable Expenses for the preceding calendar year and shall notify Tenant thereof and provide Tenant with a copy of the accounting and detail of the Reimbursable Expenses. If Xxxxxx’s total escrow payments are less than Tenant’s actual proportionate share of all such Reimbursable Expenses, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within twenty (20) days after demand. If the total escrow payments of Tenant are more than Tenant’s actual proportionate share of all such Reimbursable Expenses, Landlord shall retain such excess and credit it against Tenant’s next annual escrow payments.

3. COMMON AREA CHARGES.

A. In addition to other amounts required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Xxxxxx’s proportionate share of the following costs and expenses (collectively, the “Common Area Charges”):

i. The cost of repair, maintenance and replacement of: (i) the exterior of the Building (including painting), other than those structural repairs and replacements for which Landlord is responsible pursuant to Paragraph 5; (ii) all mechanical, electrical,

plumbing, sewer, sprinkler and other life-safety equipment and systems forming a part of the Building or the Project of which the Building forms a part (other than the cost of repair, replacement and maintenance of the items which are the Tenant’s responsibility pursuant to Paragraph 6 which shall be paid entirely by Tenant as provided in Paragraph 6); and (iii) all other common areas and facilities constituting a part of the Building or the Project of which the Building forms a part (including, but not limited to, all paved areas in and about the Building).

ii. The cost of maintenance and replacement of the grass, shrubbery and other landscaping in and about the Building and/or the Project.

iii. The cost of operating and maintaining in a good, neat, clean and sanitary condition all parking areas, driveways, alleys and grounds in and about the Building (including trash removal).

iv. The cost of assessments under any applicable Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions and Easements (as may be amended from time to time) which are assessed by the applicable property owners association.

v. Security services (if furnished by Landlord), and the cost of operating and maintaining any property, facilities or services provided for the common use of Tenant and other lessees of the Building or the Project, which costs shall include, without limitation, management fees (or if no management company is engaged by Landlord for the management of the Project, wages and employee benefits payable to employees of Landlord or affiliates of Landlord whose duties are connected with the operation and maintenance of the Building); provided, however, such management fees (or if no management company is engaged by Landlord, such wages and benefits) shall not exceed an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Base Rent payable under this Lease.

B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that with regard to Controllable Expenses (hereinafter defined), Tenant’s obligation to pay any increases in Controllable Expenses for any year of the Term of this Lease following the first year of the Term of this Lease, shall be limited to an increase of six percent (6%) (the “Cap”) from the amount paid with respect to Controllable Expenses for the immediately preceding year; provided, however, that if any such increase in Controllable Expenses is less than the maximum amount that Controllable Expenses could have increased pursuant to the foregoing applicable Cap (the difference between the maximum amount that such Controllable Expenses could have increased and the amount that they did in fact increase is referred to herein as the “Unused Cap”), then the Unused Cap shall be applied to increase the Cap that is applicable to the year in question and for all subsequent years until all Unused Cap amounts are exhausted. Furthermore, the Unused Cap for all years shall be cumulated and be applied to increase the Caps applicable to all subsequent years in the Term of this Lease. It is the intention of this provision that the Cap provided with respect to Controllable Expense be a “cumulative cap”. The term “Controllable Expenses” shall mean all Common Area Charges, except for costs described in Paragraph 3A(i) above.

4. TAXES.

X. Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay all taxes, assessments and governmental charges of any kind and nature(collectively referred to herein as “Taxes”) that accrue against the Premises, and/or the land and/or improvements of which the Premises are a part. (For purposes of this Lease, the term “Taxes” shall include the amount of any taxes that would otherwise be imposed

but for the provisions of any tax abatement agreement with respect to which Landlord is a party which is entered into pursuant to Chapter 312 of the Texas Tax Code; and for purposes of this Lease, such abated taxes shall be deemed to be payable by Landlord.) If at any time during the Term of this Lease, there shall be levied, assessed or imposed on Landlord a capital levy or other tax directly on the rents received herefrom and/or a franchise tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents from the Premises and/or the Land and improvements of which the Premises are a part, then all such taxes, assessments, levies or charges, or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “Taxes” for the purpose hereof. Landlord shall have the right to employ a tax consulting firm to attempt to assure a fair tax burden on the building and grounds within the applicable taxing jurisdiction. Tenant agrees to pay its proportionate share of the cost of such consultant which cost shall be allocated on a fair and equitable basis.

B. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levies or assessed against any personal property or fixtures placed in the Premises. If any such taxes are levied or assessed against Landlord or Landlord’s property and (i) Landlord pays the same or (ii) the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by inclusion of such personal property and fixtures and Landlord pays the increased taxes, then, upon demand Tenant shall pay to Landlord such taxes. In addition, if the Building is a multiple occupancy building and the cost of any improvements constructed to Tenant’s Premises is disproportionately higher than the cost of improvements constructed to the premises of other tenants of the Building, then upon demand Tenant shall pay the amount of Taxes attributable to such disproportionately more expensive improvements, in addition to Tenant’s proportionate share of Taxes.

Tenant hereby waives any right it may have under Section 41.413 of the Texas Tax Code to protest the appraised value of all or any portion of the Premises and the Building, and any right it may have under Section 42.015 of the Texas Tax Code to appeal an order of the appraisal review board with respect to all or any portion of the Premises and/or the Building. Xxxxxx agrees that Landlord shall have the sole right to protest any appraisals of the Premises and the Building. Tenant also hereby waives any right it may have to receive a copy of any notice received by Landlord of reappraisal of all or any portion of the Premises and/or the Building, including without limitation any notice required under Section 41.413(d) of the Texas Tax Code. Xxxxxx agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages for Landlord’s failure to send to Tenant a copy of any notice of reappraisal concerning the Premises and/or the Building, irrespective of any obligation under applicable law of Landlord to provide such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant protests, challenges or appeals any valuation for property tax purposes of all or any portion of the Premises and/or the Building, and such valuation increases from the value protested, appealed or challenged, Xxxxxx agrees to indemnify Landlord on an after-tax basis for any property taxes due as a result of such increase.

C. Tenant shall have the right (unless Landlord shall in good faith agree to contest, at Xxxxxx’s sole expense, such tax increase) to contest or resist in good faith, diligently and by appropriate proceeding, the validity of the amount or rate of any increase or proposed increase in the Taxes, all at Tenant’s sole expense. If Landlord shall agree to contest such Taxes, Landlord shall do so at Tenant’s expense (the cost of which contest, if involving the property of Landlord in addition to the Premises, shall be allocated to Tenant on a reasonable and equitable basis), under the direction and control of Landlord (which shall make all decisions in connection therewith, subject to Tenant’s right to monitor Landlord’s conduct of such contest proceeding); if Landlord elects not to contest such Taxes or, having elected to contest such Taxes, fails to contest such Taxes diligently and in good faith, and such failure continues uncured beyond a reasonable time following written notice from Tenant to Landlord, or if Tenant reasonably determines that

Xxxxxxxx is not pursuing an adequately aggressive position with respect to such tax contest and Xxxxxxxx fails to comply with Xxxxxx’s reasonable request with respect thereto, Tenant shall have the right to itself contest such Taxes. It shall be a condition precedent to Xxxxxx’s right to contest any such Taxes that Tenant provide Landlord with security (in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee) in an amount reasonably necessary to assure full payment of such Taxes being contested, together with all penalties, fines and interest and other fees and amounts that could be collected by the taxing authority in case the contest is unsuccessful (but in any event not less than the amount reasonably required by Xxxxxxxx’s mortgagee in connection with such contest of Taxes). In determining the security required pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, due regard shall be given to tenant’s contractual obligations with respect to Taxes pursuant to Paragraph 2C above. Tenant shall in all events pay all such contested Taxes (together with all penalties, fines, interest and such other fees and amounts) at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the Premises (or any portion thereof) are scheduled for any unstayed foreclosure on account of nonpayment thereof. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all expenses, liabilities, and claims (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees) incurred by or asserted against Landlord or the Project arising as a result of any such contest by Xxxxxx. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx agree to reasonably cooperate with one another in connection with all contests of Taxes under this Lease.

5. LANDLORD’S REPAIRS.

Tenant understands and agrees that Xxxxxxxx’s maintenance, repair and replacement obligations are limited to those expressly set forth in this Paragraph 5. Landlord, at its own cost and expense, shall be responsible only for repair and replacement of the roof, the foundation and the structural members of the exterior walls of the Building, reasonable wear and tear excluded. The term “walls” as used herein shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors, special store fronts or office entries. Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice of defect or need for repairs after which Landlord shall have reasonable opportunity to repair same or cure such defect.

6. TENANT’S REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE.

X. Xxxxxx, at its own cost and expense, shall (i) maintain all parts of the Premises (including, but not limited to, the floor slab of the Premises and the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, sewer, sprinkler and other life-safety equipment, fixtures and systems forming a part of the Premises), in good, neat, clean, sanitary and operable condition and (ii) promptly make all necessary repairs and replacement to the Premises in a good and workmanlike manner. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, repair any damage to the Premises of the Building caused by the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents or invitees, or caused by Xxxxxx’s default hereunder.

B. In addition to Xxxxxx’s other obligations hereunder, Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall enter into a regularly scheduled preventive maintenance/service contract with a maintenance contractor approved by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) for servicing, all hot water, heating and air conditioning and elevator systems and equipment within or serving the Premises. The service contract must include all services suggested by the equipment manufacturer in its operations/maintenance manual and an executed copy of such contract must be provided to Landlord prior to the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises.

7. ALTERATIONS.

Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant, at is own cost and expense, may erect such shelves, bins, machinery and trade fixtures as it desires provided that: (i) such items do not alter the basic character of the Premises or the Building and/or improvements of which the Premises are a part; (ii) such items do not overload or damage the Premises, the Building or such improvements; (iii) such items may be removed without injury to the Premises; and (iv) the construction, erection or installation thereof complies with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, regulations and with Landlord’s specifications and requirements. All alterations, additions, improvements and partitions erected by Tenant shall be and remain the property of Tenant during the Term of this Lease. All shelves, bins, machinery and trade fixtures installed by Tenant shall be removed on or before the earlier to occur of the date of termination of this Lease or vacating of the Premises by Tenant, at which time Tenant shall restore the Premises to their original condition except for reasonable wear and tear. All alterations, installations, removals and restoration shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner so as not to damage or alter the primary structure or structure qualities of the Building and other improvements situated on the Premises or of which the Premises are a part. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is agreed that the use of and access to the roof of the Building is expressly reserved to Landlord and is expressly denied to Tenant. Tenant shall not penetrate the roof of the Building in any manner, nor install or construct any alterations, additions or improvements thereon, nor otherwise use or occupy the roof at any time during the Term hereof.

8. SIGNS.

Any signage, decorations, advertising media, blinds, draperies, window treatments, bars, and security installations Tenant desires for the Premises shall be subject in Landlord’s written consent (not to be unreasonable withheld) and shall be submitted to Landlord prior to installation of such items. Tenant shall repair, paint, and/or replace the Building fascia surface to which its signs are attached upon vacation of the Premises, or the removal or alteration of its signage, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall not (i) make any changes to the exterior of the Premises; (ii) install any exterior lights, decorations, balloons, flags, pennants, banners or paintings; or (iii) erect or install any signs, windows or door lettering, placards, decorations or advertising media of any type which can be viewed from the exterior of the Premises, without Landlord’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all signs, decorations, advertising media, blinds, draperies and other window treatment or bars or other security installations visible from outside the Premises shall conform in all respects to the criteria established by Landlord and to the requirements of all covenants, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Premises and the Building (including, but not limited to, approval by the Development Review Board).

9. UTILITIES.

Tenant shall timely pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, sewer, sprinkler charges and other utilities and services used on or at the Premises, together with any taxes, penalties, deposits, surcharges or the like pertaining to Tenant’s use of the Premises, and any maintenance charges for utilities. Tenant shall pay all impact or other fees associated with utility hook-ups, meter installations or services to the Premises. Landlord shall have the right to cause any of said services to be separately metered to tenant, provided the cost of such separate metering is allocated on a fair and equitable basis among all tenants of the Building benefiting from the separate metering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant requests separate metering for the Premises, Landlord shall cause such separate metering at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of all charges for jointly metered utilities (including, but not limited to the cost of utilities consumed in

connection with providing electrical power for the Building’s canopy lighting, the lighting of the parking facilities and other common areas and facilities associated with the Building. The Building’s fire pump room and irrigation system, as well as other electricity gauged by the “house meter”). Landlord shall no be liable for any interruption or failure of utility service on the Premises.

10. INSURANCE.

A. Landlord shall maintain insurance covering the Building of which the Premises are a part in an amount not less than the “replacement cost” thereof insuring against the perils and costs of Fire, Lighting, Extended Coverage, Vandalism and Malicious Mischief and such other insurance as Landlord shall deem necessary.

X. Xxxxxx, at its own expense, shall maintain during the Term of this Lease a policy or policies of worker’s compensation and comprehensive general liability insurance, including personal injury and property damage, with contractual liability endorsement, in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for property damage and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence for personal injuries or deaths of persons occurring in or about the Premises. Tenant, at its own expense, also shall maintain during the Term of this Lease (i) fire and extended coverage insurance covering the replacement cost of all alterations, additions, partitions and improvements installed or placed on the Premises by Tenant or by Landlord on behalf of Tenant, and all of Tenant’s personal property contained within the Premises and (ii) business interruption insurance insuring loss of profits in the event of an insured peril damaging the Premises. Said policies shall (i) name Landlord as an additional insured and insure Landlord’s contingent liability under this Lease (except for the worker’s compensation policy, which instead shall include a waiver of subrogation endorsement in favor of Landlord;) (ii) be issued by an insurance company which is licensed to do business in the State of Texas, and which has a Best’s Rating of A/VII or better, and (iii) provide that said insurance shall not be cancelled unless thirty (30) days prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord. In addition, such insurance provided by Tenant shall be primary coverage for Landlord when any policy issued to Landlord is similar or duplicate in coverage, and Landlord’s policy shall be excess over Tenant’s policies. All insurance policies carried by Tenant hereunder shall expressly provide (by endorsement or otherwise) that Landlord’s rights thereunder shall be assignable to Landlord’s mortgagee who shall be shown as an additional insured thereon. Said policy or policies or certificates thereof shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant upon commencement of the Term of the Lease and upon each renewal of said insurance.

C. Tenant will not permit the Premises to be used for any purpose or in any manner that would (i) void the insurance thereon, (ii) increase the insurance risk, or (iii) cause the disallowance of any sprinkler credits, including without limitation, use of the Premises for the receipt, storage or handling of any product, material or merchandise that is explosive or highly inflammable.

11. FIRE AND CASUALTY DAMAGE.

A. If the Premises or the Building of which the Premises are a part should be damaged or destroyed by fire or other peril, Tenant immediately shall give written notice to Landlord. If the Building of which the Premises are a part should be totally destroyed by any peril which would be covered by the insurance which Landlord is required to maintain under Paragraph 10A above, or if they should be so damaged thereby that, in Landlord’s estimation,

rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after Xxxxxxxx’s receipt of all insurance proceeds with respect to such damage, this Lease shall terminate and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective upon the date of the occurrence of such damage.

B. If the Building of which the Premises are apart should be damaged by any peril which would be covered by the insurance which Landlord is required to maintain under Paragraph 10A above, and in Landlord’s reasonable estimation, rebuilding or repairs can be substantially completed within one hundred eighty (180) days alter the date of such damage, this Lease shall not terminate, and Landlord shall restore the Premises to substantially its previous condition, except that Landlord shill not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the partitions, fixtures, additions and other improvements that may have been constructed, erected or installed in, of about the Premises for the benefit of, or by or for Tenant.

If such repairs and rebuilding have not been substantially completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such damage (subject to Force Majeure Delays [hereinafter defined] and any delays caused by Tenant or its employees, agents or contractors), Tenant, as Xxxxxx’s exclusive remedy, may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord in which event the rights and obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate (except as expressly provided to the contrary herein.)

C. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary if the holder of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after such requirement is made known by any such holder, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate (except as expressly provided to the contrary herein).

D. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and release each other (but only to the extent of the insurance coverage required to be maintained by the respective parties hereunder) of and from any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or cause of action, against each other, their agents, officers and employees, for any liability, loss or damage that may occur to the Premises, improvements or the Building of which the Premises are a part, or personal property (building contents) within the Building and or Premises as the result of any fire or other casualty required to be insured against under this Lease.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH 12 SHALL SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS OR LIABILITY OCCURRING PRIOR TO SUCH EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION.

13. USE.

The Premises shall be used only for the purpose of receiving, storing, light manufacturing, shipping and selling (other than retail) products, materials and merchandise made and/or distributed by Tenant and for such other lawful purposes as may be incidental thereto. Tenant acknowledges that it does not intend to use the Premises to serve the public.

In addition, Landlord shall have the right to erect a suitable sign on the Premises stating the Premises are available. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to vacating the Premises and shall arrange to meet with Landlord for a joint inspection of the Premises prior to vacating. If Tenant fails to give such notice or to arrange for such inspection, then Xxxxxxxx’s inspection of the Premises shall be deemed correct for the purpose of determining Tenant’s responsibility for repairs and restoration of the Premises.

15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

A. Tenant shall not assign (either voluntarily, nor permit assignment by operation of law), sublet, transfer or encumber this Lease, or any interest therein, to any third party without the prior written consent of Landlord (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided however, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises to any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant (individually, an “Affiliate”). Any attempted assignment, subletting, transfer or encumbrance by Tenant in violation of the terms and covenants of this Paragraph shall be void. No assignment, subletting or other transfer, whether consented to by Landlord or not, shall relieve Tenant of its liability hereunder. In the event Tenant desires to sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof, or assign this Lease, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord within a reasonable time prior to the proposed commencement date of such subletting or assignment, which notice shall set forth the name of the proposed sublessee or assignee, the relevant terms of any sublease or assignment and copies of financial reports and other relevant financial information of the proposed sublessee or assignee. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s actual reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and attorneys’ fees for processing and reviewing Tenant’s request for any subletting or assignment.

B. In addition to, but not in limitation of, Landlord’s right to approve of any sublessee or assignee, Landlord shall have the option, in its sole discretion, in the event of any subletting or assignment (other than to an Affiliate), to terminate this Lease, or in case of a subletting of less than the entire Premises (other than to an Affiliate), to recapture the portion of the Premises to be sublet, as of the date the subletting or assignment is to be effective. The option shall be exercised, if at all, by Landlord giving Tenant written notice thereof within sixty (60) days following Xxxxxxxx’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice as required above. If this Lease shall be terminated with respect to the entire Premises pursuant to this Paragraph, the Term of this Lease shall end on the date stated in Landlord’s notice as the effective date of the sublease or assignment as if that date had been originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term hereof; provided, however, that effective on such date Tenant shall pay Landlord all amounts, as estimated by Landlord, payable by Tenant to such date with respect to taxes, insurance, repairs, maintenance, restoration and other obligations, costs or charges which are the responsibility of Tenant hereunder. Further, upon any such cancellation Landlord and Tenant shall have no further obligations or Liabilities to each other under this Lease, except with respect to obligations or liabilities which have accrued hereunder as of such cancellation date (in the same manner as if

such cancellation date were the date originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term hereof) and except for those obligations and liabilities which, by the express terms of this Lease, are to survive any expiration or termination hereof. If Landlord recaptures only a portion of the Premises under this Paragraph, the Base Rent during the unexpired Term hereof shall xxxxx proportionately based on the rent per square foot contained in this Lease as of the date immediately prior to such recapture. Tenant shall, at Xxxxxx’s own cost and expense, discharge in full any outstanding commission obligation on the part of Landlord with respect to this Lease, and any commissions which may be due and owing as a result of any proposed assignment or subletting, whether or not the Premises are recaptured pursuant hereto and rented by Landlord to the proposed tenant or any other tenant.

C. Upon the occurrence of an assignment or subletting, whether or not consented to by Landlord, or mandated by judicial intervention, Tenant hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Landlord all rents or other sums received or receivable by Tenant under any such assignment or sublease, which are in excess of the rents and other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease (or in case of a sublease, which are in excess of the rents and other sums payable by Tenant with respect to the portion of the Premises that is subleased), and agrees to pay such amounts to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt.

D. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 101 et. seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), any and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other considerations constituting Landlord’s property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and be promptly paid or delivered to Landlord. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed, without further act or deed, to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall upon demand execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption.

E. Any assignee, sublessee or transferee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease (all such assignees, sublessees and transferees being hereinafter referred to as “Transferees”), by accepting any such assignment, sublease or transfer shall be deemed to have assumed Tenant’s obligations hereunder, and shall be deemed to have assumed liability to Landlord for all amounts paid to persons other than Landlord by such Transferees. No assignment, subletting or other transfer, whether consented to by Landlord or not or permitted hereunder, shall relieve Tenant of its liability hereunder. If an Event of Default occurs while the Premises or any part thereof are assigned or sublet, then Landlord, in addition to any other remedies herein provided, or provided by law, may collect directly from such Transferee all rents payable to Tenant and apply such rent against any sums due Landlord hereunder. No such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or a release of Tenant from the further performance of Xxxxxx’s obligations hereunder.

16. CONDEMNATION.

If more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises are taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by a conveyance in lien thereof, and the taking prevents or materially interferes with the use of the Premises for the purpose for which they were leased to Tenant, this Lease shall terminate and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective on the date of such taking. If lets than fifty patent (50%) of the

Premises are taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by a conveyance in lieu thereof, this Lease shall not terminate, but the rent payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of this Lease shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under all of the circumstances. All compensation awarded in connection with or as a result of any of the foregoing proceedings shall be the property of Landlord; and Tenant hereby assigns any interest in any such award to Landlord; provided, however, Landlord shall have no interest in any award made to Tenant for loss of business or goodwill or for the taking of Tenant’s fixtures and improvements, if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant.

17. HOLDING OVER.

At the termination of this Lease by its expiration or otherwise, Tenant immediately shall deliver possession of the Premises to Landlord. If, for any reason, Tenant retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof alter such termination, then Landlord may, at its option, serve written notice upon Tenant that such holding over constitutes either (i) the creation of a month to month tenancy, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, or (ii) creation of a tenancy at sufferance, in any case upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease; provided, however, that the monthly rental (or daily rental under (ii)) shall, in addition to all other sums which are to be paid by Tenant hereunder, whether or not as additional rent, be equal to double the rental being paid monthly to Landlord under this Lease immediately prior to such termination (prorated in the case of (ii) on the basis of a 365-day year for each day Tenant remains in possession). If no such notice is served, then a tenancy at sufferance shall be deemed to be created at the rent in the preceding sentence. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages sustained by Landlord resulting from retention of possession by Xxxxxx, including the loss of any proposed subsequent tenant for any portion of the Premises. The provisions of this paragraph shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any right of re-entry as herein set forth; nor shall receipt of any rent or any other act in apparent affirmance of the tenancy operate as a waiver of the right to terminate this Lease for a breach of any of the terms, covenants; or obligations herein on Tenant’s part to be performed. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided. The preceding provisions of this Paragraph 17 shall not be construed as consent for Tenant to retain possession of the Premises in the absence of written consent thereto by Landlord.

18. QUIET ENJOYMENT.

Xxxxxxxx has the authority to enter into this Lease and so long as Tenant pays all amounts due hereunder and performs all other covenants and agreements herein set forth, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term hereof without hindrance from Landlord subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease. If this Lease is a sublease, then Xxxxxx agrees to take the Premises subject to the provisions of the prior leases.

19. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

The following events (herein individually referred to as an “Event of Default”) each shall be deemed to be an event of default by Tenant under this Lease:

A. Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of the Base Rent herein reserved when due, or any other payment or reimbursement to Landlord required herein when due, and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) days after written notice to Xxxxxx.

D. Tenant shall (i) fail to take possession of the Premises within thirty (30) days of substantial completion of the Leasehold Improvements, (ii) vacate, desert, or abandon all or a substantial portion of the Premises, or threaten to do so or (iii) fail to continuously operate its business at the Premises for the permitted use set forth herein, whether or not Tenant is in default in payment of the rental payments due under this Lease.

E. Tenant shall fail to promptly discharge any lien placed upon the Premises in violation of Paragraph 22 hereof.

F. Tenant shall fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease (other than those listed above in this Paragraph 19), and shall not cure such failure within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof to Tenant provided, however, if such failure cannot through the exercise of reasonable diligence be cured within such twenty (20) days, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred under this Paragraph 19F so long as Tenant commences it curative efforts within such twenty (20)-day period and diligently prosecutes same to completion.

G. Tenant, its bankruptcy trustee, or any entity authorized by court order to act on behalf of Tenant, shall reject this Lease under 11 U.S.C. sec. 365(a) or any other provision of Title 11 of the United States Code, or the deemed rejection of this Lease by operation of law under 11 U.S.C. sec. 365(d)(4). Any such rejection of this Lease terminates this Lease, without notice of any kind to Tenant, effective on the later of: (1) the date Tenant vacates the Premises following such rejection; (2) the date the Bankruptcy Court with jurisdiction over Xxxxxx’s bankruptcy case enters an order on its docket authorizing Tenant to reject this Lease; or (3) the date this Lease is deemed rejected under 11 U.S.C. sec. 365(d)(4).

20. REMEDIES.

A. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue, without any notice or demand, (except as expressly provided otherwise herein) any one or more of the following remedies and/or any other remedies to which Landlord is entitled at law or in equity:

i. Terminate this Lease, in which event Xxxxxx shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without any further notice and without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have for possession or arrearages in rental, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and remove Tenant and its effects without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, whether through inability to relet the Premises or otherwise, including any loss of rental for the remainder of the Term.

ii. If the Event of Default relates to nonpayment of Base Rent or any other monetary sum due hereunder, or the desertion, vacation or abandonment of the Premises, terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant’s default shall be deemed a total and entire breach of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and Tenant immediately shall become liable for damages in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the total rental for the remainder of the Term, discounted at the Prime Rate (hereinafter defined) to the then present value, together with all other actual and reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s default, all sums due pursuant to Paragraph 20B below, and the unpaid rental due as of the date of termination, over (ii) the fair market rental value of the Premises for the balance of the Term, discounted at the Prime Rate to the then present value. For the purposes of clause (i) above, the components of monthly rent (other than Base Rent) for the remainder of the Term shall be deemed to be equal to the respective monthly amounts thereof as were due and payable during the month in which the Lease was terminated. It is acknowledged intended and agreed that the amounts which Landlord is entitled to recover under this Paragraph 20A(ii) constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty for Tenant’s defaults related to nonpayment of rental, or the desertion, vacation or abandonment of the Premises. Such amounts constitute the parties’ best, good faith, and reasonable estimate of the damages which would be suffered by Landlord in the event any such default occurs, the exact amount of such damages being difficult or impractical to calculate.

iii. Enter upon and take possession of the Premises as Xxxxxx’s agent without terminating this Lease and without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and Landlord may relet the Premises as Xxxxxx’s agent and receive the rental therefor, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand all sums due pursuant to Paragraph 20B below, together with any deficiency that may arise by reason of such reletting.

iv. Do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under this Lease and enter the Premises, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, to accomplish such purpose. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for any expenses which Landlord incurs in thus effecting compliance with this Lease on Xxxxxx’s behalf, together with interest thereon at the highest lawful rate from the date Landlord incurs the expense in question until Landlord is reimbursed therefor.

v. Require Tenant to pay any rental in quarterly installments in advance of’ each calendar quarter during the Tam by certified or cashier’s check.

vi. With twenty-four (24) hours prior notice, alter the locks and any other security device or devices which allow Tenant access to the Premises or the Building of which the Premises form a part, and Landlord shall not be required to provide a new key or right of access to Tenant, and restrict or terminate any right to use parking facilities

associated with the Building as well as utility services to the Premises. This Paragraph 20A(vi) is intended to and shall supersede the provisions of Section 93.002 of the Texas Property Code.

B. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in addition to any other sum provided to be paid herein, Tenant also shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord: (i) brokers’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection with reletting the whole or any part of the Premises to the extent such brokers’ fees (if calculated based on the term of the lease for the reletting) are attributable to the remainder of the Term of this Lease; (ii) the costs of removing and storing Tenant’s or other occupant’s property; (iii) the costs of repairing, altering, remodeling or otherwise putting the Premises into condition acceptable to a new tenant or tenants; (iv) all reasonable expenses incurred in marketing the Premises and (v) all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing or defending Landlord’s rights and/or remedies. If either party hereto institutes any action or proceeding to enforce any provision hereof by reason of any alleged breach of any provision of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the losing party all actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees and all court costs in connection with such proceeding. If Tenant files a voluntary petition under any chapter of Title 11 of the United Stales Code, or if an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant seeking relief under any chapter of Title 11 of the United States Code, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may, at its option, retain an attorney to represent Landlord in such bankruptcy case and all attorneys’ fees and expenses (including expenses of consulting or testifying expert witnesses) incurred by Landlord in connection with such bankruptcy case shall be recoverable by Landlord as additional rent under this Lease and shall constitute pars of the cure required under 11 U.S.C. sec. 365(b)(1)(A) if Xxxxxx seeks to assume or assume and assign this Lease.

C. In the event Tenant fails to make any payment due hereunder when payment is due, to help defray the additional cost to Landlord for processing such late payments, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such payment; and the failure to pay such amount within five (5) days after demand therefor shall be an additional Event of Default hereunder. The provision for such late charge shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner.

D. Exercise by Landlord of any one or more remedies hereunder granted or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises by Landlord, whether by agreement or by operation of law, it being understood that such surrender can be effected only by the written agreement of Landlord and Xxxxxx. Tenant and Landlord further agree that forbearance by Landlord to enforce its rights pursuant to this Lease, at law or in equity, shall not be a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce one or inert of its rights in connection with that or any subsequent default.

E. The term “Prime Rate” as used herein shall mean the per annum “prime rate” of interest as published, on the date on which this Lease is terminated in accordance with this Paragraph 20, by The Wall Street Journal, Southwest Edition, in its listing of “Money Rates”, or if The Wall Street Journal is not published on the date on which this Lease is terminated, then the “prime rate” of interest as published in The Wall Street Journal on the most recent date prior to the date on which this Lease is so terminated or, if The Wall Street Journal has ceased publication and does not have a comparable successor as of the date on which this Lease is terminated, then the “Prime Rate” as used herein shall mean the prime rate of interest announced from time to time by Bank One Texas, N.A.

F. If Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant specifying in detail such failure (or if the failure cannot be corrected, through the exercise of reasonable diligence, within such thirty (30)-day period, if Landlord does not commence to correct same within such thirty (30)-day period and thereafter diligently prosecute same to completion), Xxxxxx’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be an action for damages. Unless and until Landlord fails to so cure any default after such notice, Tenant shall not have any remedy or cause of action by reason thereof. All obligations of Landlord hereunder will be construed as covenants, not conditions; and all such obligations will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its possession of the Premises and not thereafter. The term “Landlord” shall mean only the owner, for the time being of the Premises, and in the event of the transfer by such owner of its interest in the Premises, such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged from all covenants and obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing but such covenants and obligations shall be binding during the Term of this Lease upon each new owner for the duration of such owner’s ownership. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Landlord shall not have any personal liability hereunder. In the event of any breach or default by Landlord of any term or provision of this Lease, Xxxxxx agrees to look solely to the equity or interest then owned by Landlord in the Premises or of the Building of which the Premises are a part; however, in no event, shall any deficiency judgment of any kind be sought or obtained against Landlord.

G. If Landlord repossesses the Premises pursuant to the authority herein granted, then Landlord shall have the right to (i) keep in place and use or (ii) remove and store, all of the furniture, fixtures and equipment at the Premises, including that which is owned by or leased to Tenant at all times prior to any foreclosure thereon by Landlord or repossession thereof by any landlord thereof or third party having a lien thereon. Landlord also shall have the right to relinquish possession of all or any portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment and other property to any person (“Claimant”) who presents to Landlord a copy of any instrument represented by Claimant to have been executed by Xxxxxx (or any predecessor of Tenant) granting Claimant the right under various circumstances to take possession of such furniture, fixtures, equipment or other property, without the necessity on the part of Landlord to inquire into the authenticity or legality of said instrument. The rights of Landlord herein stated shall be in addition to any and all other rights that Landlord has or may hereafter have at law or in equity; and Tenant stipulates and agrees that the rights herein granted Landlord are commercially reasonable.

H. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts payable by Tenant to or on behalf of Landlord under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as rent, shall constitute rent.

I. This is a contract under which applicable law excuses Landlord from accepting performance from (or rendering performance to) any person or entity other than Tenant.

21. MORTGAGES.

Xxxxxx accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgages and/or deeds of trust now or at any time hereafter constituting a lien or charge, upon the Premises or the improvements situated thereon or the Building of which the Premises are a part; provided, however, that if the mortgagee, trustee, or holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust elects to have Xxxxxx’s interest in this Lease superior to any such instrument, then by notice to Tenant from such mortgagee, trustee or holder, this Lease shall be deemed superior to such lien, whether this Lease was executed before or after said mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant, at any time hereafter on demand, shall execute any instruments, releases or other documents that may be reasonably required by any mortgagee, trustee or holder for the

purpose of subjecting and subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust (Tenant hereby agreeing that an instrument in the form of Exhibit ”H” attached hereto and made a part hereof is acceptable to Tenant for such purpose). If any future mortgagee or beneficiary under a mortgage or deed of trust hereafter placed upon the Building desires to subordinate its mortgage or deed of trust to this Lease, Xxxxxx agrees that it shall promptly execute such instruments as may be reasonably required by such mortgagee or beneficiary in order to effect such subordination.

22. MECHANICS LIENS.

Tenant has no authority, express or implied, to create or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind or nature whatsoever upon, or in any manner to bind, the interest of Landlord or Tenant in the Premise or to charge the rentals payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Xxxxxx, including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any construction or repairs. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid all sums legally due and payable by it on account of any labor performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed on the Premises and that it will save and hold Landlord harmless from any and all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of asserted claims or liens against the leasehold estate or against the right, title and interest of Landlord in the Premises or under the terms of this Lease. Xxxxxx agrees to give Landlord immediate written notice of the placing of any lien or encumbrance against the Premises.

23. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

A. Tenant shall never incorporate into, or dispose of, at, in or under the Premises, the Building or the Land any toxic or hazardous materials. Tenant further agrees not to use at, place in, or store at the Premises any toxic or hazardous materials, except for those toxic or hazardous materials that are either (a) office supplies or (b) kitchen cleaning materials that are generally considered to be a household cleaner and are purchased in a container not larger than one (1) gallon and then only if (i) all such toxic or hazardous materials, supplies and materials are properly labeled and contained, (ii) all such toxic or hazardous materials are stored, handled, transported and disposed of in accordance with highest accepted industry standards and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and (iii) if a material safety data sheet is required under applicable laws to accompany the toxic or hazardous materials, supplies or materials, a copy of such current material safety data sheet is provided to Landlord. For purposes of this Lease, “toxic or hazardous materials” shall mean hazardous or toxic chemicals or any materials containing hazardous or toxic chemicals at levels or content which cause such materials to be classified as hazardous or toxic as then prescribed by the highest industry standards or by the then current levels or content as set from time to time by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) or as defined under 29 CFR 1910 or 29 CFR 1925 or other applicable governmental laws, rules or regulations. In the event there is a spill of toxic or hazardous materials (other than permitted office supplies and kitchen cleaning supplies) at the Premises, the Building or the Land, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the method, time and procedure for any clean-up and removal of such toxic or hazardous materials; and, Landlord shall have the right to require reasonable changes in such method, time or procedure. In the event there is a spill of a toxic or hazardous material that comes from office supplies in the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord if the spill would in any way endanger or pose a threat to Tenant’s employees, Building maintenance or custodial personnel, other Building tenants or the general public. In the event of any breath of this provision by Tenant or any contamination of the Premises, the Building or the Land, by Tenant, Tenant shall pay all costs for the removal or abatement or clean-up of any toxic or hazardous materials at the Premises, the Building and the Land. If any lender or governmental agency shall ever require testing to ascertain whether or nor there has been any release of hazardous materials caused by Tenant, then

the reasonable costs thereof shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord upon demand as additional charges, unless the testing determines the hazardous material was not caused by Tenant or persons acting under Tenant. In addition, Xxxxxx shall execute affidavits, representations and the like from time to time at Landlord’s reasonable request concerning Xxxxxx’s best knowledge and belief regarding the presence of hazardous substances or materials on the Premises.
