THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (this “Lease”) is made and entered into as of the day of , 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and between 13785 RESEARCH BLVD, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Landlord”), and Q2 SOFTWARE INC., D/B/A Q2EBANKING, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).

In consideration of the rents reserved hereunder and the duties, covenants and obligations of the other hereunder, Landlord and Tenant hereby covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

1.1 DEMISE OF THE PREMISES. Landlord hereby leases, demises and lets to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases and takes from Landlord, those certain premises (hereinafter sometimes called the “Premises”) located on the first, third and fourth floors (being Suite 400) of the building known as Aspen Lake Office Building (the “Building”) which is located at 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, xx Xxxxxx (Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx), Xxxxx 00000 (hereinafter sometimes called the “Land”). The Land is more particularly described on EXHIBIT A attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes. A floor plan of the Premises is attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes as EXHIBIT B. The Building, the Land, all parking facilities owned or controlled by Landlord and servicing the Building and any such parking structures or parking lots constructed in the future on the Land (the “Parking Facilities”) and any Public Areas (as hereinafter defined) are hereinafter sometimes collectively called the “Project”.

1.2 LICENSE TO USE PUBLIC AREAS. Subject to Section 5.3 below, Landlord hereby grants Tenant, its employees, invitees and other visitors, a nonexclusive license for the term of this Lease and all extensions and renewals thereof to use, for the purpose of ingress and egress to the Building, the Parking Facilities, and the Premises, and in accordance with the Building Rules (as hereinafter defined) (i) the sidewalks and other exterior common areas located on the Land; and (ii) the lobbies, public corridors and elevator foyers of the Building as such areas are designated by Landlord from time to time for the common use of the Building’s tenants.

1.3 RENTABLE AREA. Landlord and Tenant stipulate and agree for all purposes under this Lease that the Rentable Area of the Premises (as defined in and determined in accordance with the terms and provisions of EXHIBIT C attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes) (the “Rentable Area”) is approximately 85,819 rentable square feet. Rentable Area shall be based upon the Space Plan (as defined in EXHIBIT D attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes). Landlord represents and warrants that the actual Rentable Area of the Premises was determined in accordance with published BOMA (ANSI/BOMA Z65.i — 1996) standards and methodology.

1.4 TERM.

(a) This Lease shall be effective as of the Effective Date. The term of this Lease shall commence on May 1, 2013 (the “Commencement Date”), and, unless sooner terminated or

extended in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, shall expire on the last day of the ninety-sixth (96th) full calendar month after the Commencement Date (the “Expiration Date”).

(b) Tenant and Landlord shall execute and deliver the agreement in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT E and made a part hereof specifying, among other matters, the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date. Landlord shall prepare and deliver such agreement to Tenant after the Commencement Date has been determined, and Tenant shall execute and deliver the agreement to Landlord within five (5) business days of Tenant’s receipt thereof. Failure to sign said agreement shall not affect the commencement or expiration of the term of this Lease or any other terms and conditions of this Lease.

1.5 USE.

(a) The Premises are to be used and occupied by Tenant (and its assignees and subtenants permitted hereunder) solely for general office use and for no other purpose. However, such permitted use shall include software development, sales, implementation, support and related services for the banking industry. Without limiting the foregoing, the Premises shall not be used for any purpose which would tend to lower the Class A character of the Building, or create excessive elevator loads and/or usage, or increase wear and tear on the Building’s mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, or increase the Building’s maintenance and/or janitorial services or otherwise interfere with standard Building operations. Tenant shall not be allowed to (i) have more than five and three tenths (5 3/10) persons per one thousand (1,000) square feet of Rentable Area occupy the Premises (excluding open houses, work-shops or other temporary events or functions which temporarily increase the number of persons in the Premises), (ii) operate separate shifts of employees from the Premises (provided, Tenant may access and allow its employees use of the Premises after normal business hours), (iii) use the space for the purpose of providing telemarketing services (provided that the foregoing restriction shall not prohibit Tenant from conducting phone-based customer service and sales activities from the Premises), (iv) use the space as a consular office for any foreign government or (v) use the space as an office for any governmental or regulatory authority, agency or bureau

(b) Tenant shall not occupy or use the Premises, or permit any portion of the Premises to be occupied or used, for any business or purpose which violates any exclusive given to other tenants in the Project or which is unlawful, disreputable or deemed to be hazardous on account of fire or other hazards, or permit anything to be done which would in any way increase the rate of fire or liability or any other insurance coverage on the Building and/or its contents, or which would produce strong, unusual or offensive odors, fumes, dust or vapors, or that is a public or private nuisance, or that emits noise or sounds that are objectionable to a person of reasonable judgment due to intermittence, beat, frequency, shrillness or loudness. Landlord acknowledges Tenant’s proposed use does not violate any exclusive given to another tenant or, to Landlord’s knowledge, which would increase the rate of fire, liability, or other coverage on the Building or its contents. Tenant shall not permit any cooking within the Premises except the use of a microwave oven. Tenant agrees that no food, soft drink or other vending machine may be installed within the Premises without the written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Building is a “non-smoking” Building. Tenant agrees that no smoking is allowed in the Premises or in the Public Areas of the Building. “Public Areas” shall include but are not limited to: the Parking Facilities, building lobbies, elevators, elevator lobbies, corridors, restrooms, mailrooms, public break rooms, stairwells, sidewalks, exterior entrances, and pedestrian

tunnels (if any). Landlord has designated the Lakeside Break Area as an area where smoking is permitted.

Months 85-96	$	22.00	$	1,888,018.00	$	157,334.83

*Provided there is no default by Tenant under the terms of the Lease, in addition to the abatement of monthly Base Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses shall be abated for the first fourteen (14) months of the Term (the “Initial Rent Abatement Period”); provided, however, all other payments required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the Lease shall remain due and payable during the Initial Rent Abatement Period.

** Provided there is no default by Tenant under the terms of the Lease, those portions of monthly Base Rent ($19,812.25) and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses attributed to the portion of the Premises located on the first (1st) floor of the Building consisting of 12,513 rentable square feet shall be abated from the fifteenth (15th) through the eighteenth (18th) months of the Term (the “Second Rent Abatement Period”); provided, however, all other payments required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the Lease shall remain due and payable during the Second Rent Abatement Period.

2.2 ADDITIONAL RENT.

(a) Commencing on the Commencement Date, in addition to the Base Rent for each calendar year (or portion thereof) during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay as additional rent (the “Additional Rent”) Tenant’s Proportionate Share (as hereinafter defined) of the Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) for that year. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, on or before December 1 of each calendar year during the term of this Lease but in no event later than the beginning of each such calendar year, and on or before the Commencement Date for the initial calendar year, deliver to Tenant Landlord’s good faith estimate (the “Estimated Additional Rent”) of the Additional Rent for that

year. The Estimated Additional Rent shall be paid in equal installments in advance on the first day of each calendar month. If Landlord does not deliver an estimate to Tenant for any year by January 1 of that year, Tenant shall continue to pay Estimated Additional Rent based on the prior year’s estimate. From time to time during any calendar year, Landlord may revise its estimate of the Additional Rent, particularly as it relates to charges for electricity used by Tenant, for that year or any portion thereof on either actual or reasonably anticipated increases in Operating Expenses, and the monthly installments of Estimated Additional Rent shall be appropriately adjusted for the remainder of that year or any portion thereof in accordance with the revised estimate so that by the end of the year, the total payments of Estimated Additional Rent paid by Tenant shall equal the amount of the revised estimate.

(b) “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” means the percentage determined by dividing the Rentable Area contained within the Premises by the aggregate Rentable Area of the space within the Building. Landlord and Tenant hereby stipulate and agree for all purposes under this Lease that the aggregate Rentable Area of the Building is 205,071 rentable square feet, notwithstanding any different measurement thereof that may be made hereafter by or on behalf of either party. Accordingly, unless and until any space is added to or deducted from the Premises (without implying any right in Landlord or Tenant to add space to or deduct space from the Premises, except as expressly set forth in this Lease), Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be 41.8484%.

(c) “Operating Expenses” shall mean all expenses, assessments, costs and disbursements of every kind and nature, computed on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, incurred in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and repair of the Project, excluding only the costs and expenses described in Section 2.2(d) below. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Operating Expenses include the following:

(i) the Building’s allocable portion of the wages and salaries of all persons directly engaged in the operation, maintenance, cleaning, security or access control for the Project, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating thereto;

(ii) all supplies, tools, equipment and materials used in the operation and maintenance of the Project, and the Building’s allocable portion of the rental value of the Building management office;

(iii) cost of all utilities for the Project, including but not limited to the cost of water, sewer, gas, electricity, telephone and cable service, and all other telecommunications services;

(iv) cost of all maintenance and service agreements for the Project and the equipment therein, including but not limited to security service, window cleaning, snow and ice removal, elevator maintenance, janitorial service and landscaping maintenance;

(v) cost of repairs and general maintenance for the Project (excluding repairs and general maintenance costs that are paid by proceeds of insurance or by Tenant or other third parties);

(vi) amortization of the cost of installation of capital investment items that are hereafter installed for the purpose of reducing Operating Expenses, or to improve Building life-safety systems or which may be required or recommended by any Legal Requirements (hereinafter defined). All

such costs which relate to the installation of such capital investment items shall be amortized over the reasonable useful life of the capital investment item,

(vii) the cost of all insurance relating to the Project, as set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof;

(viii) all federal, state, county or municipal taxes, assessments, fees, impositions, levies and governmental charges relating to the Project, whether paid directly by Landlord or through an escrow arrangement with a mortgagee or ground lessor, and whether they be by taxing districts or authorities presently taxing or assessing the Project or by others subsequently created or otherwise, and any other taxes, assessments, fees, impositions, levies, and governmental charges attributable to the Project or its operation, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, the tax (sometimes referred to as business, margin or franchise tax) enacted by House Xxxx 3 as passed during the 3rd called session of the Texas Legislature in 2006, which has been codified in Chapter 171, Texas Tax Code, and any supplements, replacements, additions or other modifications thereto; excluding, however, except as provided herein, federal and state taxes on income, death taxes, franchise taxes, and any taxes imposed or measured on or by the income of Landlord from the operation of the Project; provided, however, that if at any time during the term of this Lease, the present method of taxation or assessment shall be so changed that the whole or any part of the taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges now levied, assessed or imposed on the Land and the improvements thereon shall be discontinued and as a substitute therefor, or in lieu of an addition thereto, taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges shall be levied, assessed and/or imposed wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise on the rents received from the Project or the rents reserved herein or any part thereof, then such substitute or additional taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges, to the extent so levied, assessed or imposed, shall be deemed to be included within Operating Expenses to the extent that such substitute or additional tax would be payable if the Project were the only property of Landlord subject to such tax;

(ix) all property management fees not to exceed 4% of the gross rental proceeds from the Building; and

(x) the actual cost of installing, operating, and maintaining the fitness center and conference center available for use by employees of tenants in the Building at a level consistent with that which is being provided as of the Effective Date.

(d) Landlord hereby agrees that the term “Operating Expenses” shall not include any of the following expenses (however nothing set forth below shall prohibit Landlord from recovering any of the foregoing expenses directly from Tenant if caused or contributed to by Tenant):

(i) debt service or rentals under any ground lease;

(ii) costs for which Landlord is entitled to specific reimbursement as a separate charge by Tenant, by any other tenant of the Building or by any other third party;

(iii) costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the negotiation of any tenant lease in the Project, including leasing commissions, legal fees and leasehold improvements expenses (and/or allowances therefor);

(iv) any other costs and expenses for services or amenities that are specifically for the benefit of a particular tenant and that are of a nature not generally provided to all tenants in the Building; and

(v) except as set forth in Section 2.2(c)(vi) above, expenditures classified as capital expenditures under generally accepted accounting principles or any non-cash charges such as depreciation or amortization.

(e) Within one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of each calendar year during the term of this Lease, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, Landlord shall provide Tenant a statement (“Expense Statement”) showing Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Expenses for said calendar year and a statement prepared by Landlord comparing Estimated Additional Rent paid by Tenant with Additional Rent for such calendar year. In the event that Estimated Additional Rent paid by Tenant exceeds the amount of Additional Rent for said calendar year, Landlord shall pay Tenant an amount equal to such excess at Tenant’s option, by either giving a credit against rentals next due, if any, or by direct payment to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the date of such Expense Statement. In the event that the Additional Rent exceeds Estimated Additional Rent paid by Tenant for said calendar year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Expense Statement. The provisions of this Section 2.2(e) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, for the purposes of estimating Operating Expenses, it is agreed that if the Building is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during any calendar year (or portion thereof), an adjustment shall be made in computing each component of the Operating Expenses that actually varies with the rate of occupancy of the Building for that year so that the total Operating Expenses shall be computed for such year as though ninety-five percent (95%) of the Building had been occupied during such year.

(g) Tenant shall have the right to request, review and copy, at Tenant’s expense, Landlord’s books and records regarding the determination of Operating Expenses for the calendar year that is the basis of an Expense Statement only upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord and scheduling an appointment in advance. Such notice must be delivered within ninety (90) days following Landlord’s delivery of the Expense Statement to Tenant. Any such review shall be performed within sixty (60) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice and conducted during normal business hours at Landlord’s office in Houston, Texas or such other office as reasonably designated by Landlord. Any party conducting the review must be a certified public accountant (i) from an accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord or (ii) from Tenant’s staff. Tenant may not have such review performed on a contingency fee basis. In the event that Landlord and Tenant confirm pursuant to an Expense Statement or Landlord’s acceptance (subject to dispute resolution below) of the results of Tenant’s review (as applicable) that Estimated Additional Rent paid by Tenant exceeds Additional Rent for said calendar year, Landlord shall pay Tenant an amount equal to such excess at Tenant’s option, by either giving a credit against Rent (as hereinafter defined) next due, or by direct payment to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the date of such Expense Statement or acceptance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Tenant requests a refund rather than a credit from Landlord in writing, Landlord shall refund said amount to Tenant within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request. In the event it is determined that the Additional Rent exceeds Estimated Additional Rent for said calendar year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Expense Statement. If Tenant does not object in writing

to an Expense Statement within ninety (90) days following the date thereof, specifying the nature of the item(s) in dispute and the reasons therefor, or if Tenant has elected to review Landlord’s records, within sixty (60) days following Tenant’s review, then the Expense Statement shall be considered final and accepted by Tenant. Any amount due to Landlord as shown on an Expense Statement, whether or not disputed by Tenant as provided herein, shall be paid by Tenant when due as provided in Section 2.2(e) above, without prejudice to any such written exception pending resolution thereof. The results of any such review shall be held in strict confidence by Tenant and its representatives. If Landlord disputes the review, both parties shall within twenty (20) days agree upon a neutral third party certified public accountant whose determination shall be binding upon both parties.

2.3 RENT PAYMENTS.

(a) Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to pay, as rent, the Base Rent and Estimated Additional Rent and all other sums of money as shall become due from and payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease inclusive of the exhibits hereto (collectively, “Rent”) in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at Landlord’s address as provided herein (or to such other persons or at such other address(es) as may be designated by Landlord in writing from time to time).

(b) If the term of this Lease as described above commences on other than the first day of a calendar month or terminates on other than the last day of a calendar month, then the installments of Rent for such month or months shall be prorated and the installment or installments so prorated shall be paid in advance. The payment for such prorated month shall be calculated by multiplying the monthly installment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days of the lease term occurring during said commencement or termination month, as the case may be, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days occurring in said commencement or termination month.

(c) Tenant shall pay all Rent at the times and in the manner provided in this Lease, without demand, set-off or counterclaim. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that except as expressly provided in Sections 3.3 and 6.3(a) of this Lease, Tenant’s covenants to pay Rent under this Lease are separate and independent from Landlord’s covenant to provide services and other amenities hereunder.

(d) In the event any Rent is not paid within five (5) days of the date when due, then Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord will incur additional administrative expenses, the amount of which will be difficult, if not impossible to determine. Accordingly, in addition to the obligation to pay Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge for such late payment in the additional amount of three percent (3%) of the amount of such late payment of Rent. The foregoing notwithstanding, tenant shall have one ten (10) day grace period per lease year for late payments without any penalty.

(e) Excepting the grace period, all Rent shall bear interest from the date due until paid at a rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) a floating annual rate equal to five percent (5%) above the Prime Rate reported in the Money Rates column or section of the most recent issue of The Wall Street Journal (“Prime Rate”), automatically adjusting with each change in the Prime Rate, and (ii) the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted by the Legal Requirements of the jurisdiction in which the Building is located.

(f) Tenant shall also pay, together with all payments of Rent due hereunder, an amount equal to all sales, use, excise, rental and other taxes now or hereafter imposed by any lawful authority on all amounts due or required under this Lease and classified as rent by any such authority.

2.4 SECURITY. Within forty five (45) days of the execution of this Lease by Tenant, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount of Three million and 0/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) in form and issued by a bank with an Austin, Texas office (i.e. wherein said letter of credit may be drawn) reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, such letter of credit to be held for the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under the Lease, it being expressly understood that the Letter of Credit shall not be considered an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of an Event of Default by Tenant. As long as there is no Event of Default, the amount of Letter of Credit required hereunder shall be reduced to (i) $2,300,000.00 on the day after the expiration of the thirtieth (30th) calendar month following the Commencement Date, (ii) $1,600,00.00 on the day after the expiration of the forty-second (42nd) calendar month following the Commencement Date, (iii) $1,000,000.00 on the day after the expiration of the fifty-fourth (54th) calendar month following the Commencement Date, and (iv) $500,000.00 on the day after the expiration of the sixty-sixth (66th) calendar month following the Commencement Date at which amount it will remain until the expiration of the Term (collectively, the “Reduction Schedule”). Based on the statements provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 13.2(k) of this Lease, in the event and at such time as Tenant’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) or (“Free Cash Flow, defined as Tenant’s cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, measured on a trailing twelve (12) month basis is equal to or greater than Ten million and 0/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), the amount of Letter of Credit required hereunder shall be reduced to Five hundred thousand and 0/100 Dollars ($500,000.00). If the amount of Letter of Credit required hereunder has been reduced pursuant to the foregoing sentence and Tenant’s EBITDA or Free Cash Flow then falls below the $10,000,000.00 threshold, the amount of Letter of Credit required hereunder shall revert back to those amounts set forth in the Reduction Schedule. Tenant acknowledges that the Letter of Credit shall be held by Landlord and that Landlord’s broker or property manager shall be authorized to deliver the Letter of Credit to Landlord. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease which shall remain uncured, Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy draw on the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of Rent or other payments hereunder and/or any damage, injury, expense or liability caused to Landlord by such Event of Default (provided that Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit in whole in the event Tenant defaults in its obligation to timely deliver a replacement letter of credit as required hereunder). If any portion of the proceeds from a draw on any Letter of Credit is so used or applied, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days cause the issuing bank to restore any Letter of Credit to the amount existing prior to such application. Any remaining balance of Letter of Credit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the termination of this Lease; provided, however, Landlord shall have the right to retain and expend such remaining balance (i) to reimburse Landlord for any and all Rent or other sums due hereunder that have not been paid in full by Tenant and/or (ii) for cleaning and repairing the Premises if Tenant shall fail to deliver same at the termination of this Lease in a neat and clean condition and in as good a condition as existed at the date of possession of same by Tenant, ordinary wear and tear and damage due to casualty not caused by Tenant and condemnation only excepted. If more than fifty percent (50%) of the Letter of Credit, in the aggregate, is applied twice by Landlord during any twenty-four month period during the Lease term, following the second application, Landlord may require Tenant to restore the depleted Letter of Credit to the lesser of (A) its initial amount or (B) the amount of the Letter of Credit prior to such second application plus the sum of (i) two (2) additional monthly installments of Base Rent at the rate payable for the last month of the Lease term, plus (ii) two (2) additional monthly installments of Estimated Additional Rent

at the rate payable for the month immediately preceding said second application of the Letter of Credit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the proceeds from any Letter of Credit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on same. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer or mortgage its interest in the Project and in this Lease, and Tenant agrees that in the event of such transfer or mortgage, Landlord shall have the right to transfer or assign the Letter of Credit to the transferee or mortgagee. Upon such transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit and the transferee’s or mortgagee’s acceptance in writing to the return of such Letter of Credit pursuant to this Lease, Landlord shall be deemed released by Tenant from all liability or obligation for the return of the Letter of Credit and Tenant shall look solely to such transferee or mortgagee for the return of the Letter of Credit.

Any letter of credit delivered by Tenant hereunder as the Letter of Credit shall expire no earlier than twelve (12) months after issuance and shall provide for automatic renewals of one-year periods unless the issuer has provided Landlord written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the then expiration date (whereupon Tenant shall be obligated to provide a replacement letter of credit or a “Letter of Credit Extension”, as described below, meeting the requirements of this Section 2.4 no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then outstanding and expiring letter of credit, as provided below). Any subsequent replacement letter of credit shall expire no earlier than twelve (12) months from the expiration date of the then outstanding and expiring letter of credit and shall provide for automatic 1-year renewals as described above, it being understood that in lieu of replacing any letter of credit, Tenant may procure an amendment extending its expiration date and so providing for automatic 1-year renewals (each a “Letter of Credit Extension”). Tenant shall ensure that at all times during the Term of this Lease and for fifteen (15) business days after expiration of the Term, one or more unexpired letters of credit in the aggregate amount of the amount required hereunder shall be in the possession of Landlord. To the extent that Tenant is obligated to furnish a replacement Letter of Credit hereunder, Tenant shall deliver a Letter of Credit Extension or a replacement letter of credit to Landlord no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the then outstanding and expiring letter of credit; provided, however, that a replacement letter of credit shall not be required to have an effective date earlier than the expiration date of the then existing letter of credit being so replaced (it being the intent that Tenant not be required to have two outstanding letters of credit covering the same required amount at any one time). Failure by Tenant to deliver any Letter of Credit Extension or any replacement letter of credit as required above shall entitle Landlord to draw under the outstanding letter(s) of credit and to retain the entire proceeds thereof as security for Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Each letter of credit shall be for the benefit of Landlord and its successors and assigns, shall be expressly transferable (but only to a mortgagee or a successor landlord under this Lease), and shall entitle Landlord or its successors or assigns to draw from time to time under the letter of credit in portions or in whole upon presentation of a sight draft. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Letter of Credit is a separate and independent obligation of the issuing bank to Landlord and that Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such obligation, and that Landlord’s right to draw upon the Letter of Credit for the full amount due and owing thereunder shall not be, in any way, restricted, impaired, altered or limited by virtue of any provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation, Section 502(b)(6) thereof.

taxes assessed against the Project and attributable to the value of the Tenant’s Leasehold Improvements. In such event, Tenant shall pay its allocated share within thirty (30) days of receipt of the written statement of Landlord setting forth in reasonable detail the amount and the basis upon which Landlord made the allocation.

ARTICLE III

Provided no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred and is continuing hereunder, and subject to the provisions of Sections 3.2 and 3.3 below, Landlord shall furnish the following services and amenities (collectively, the “Required Services”) to Tenant (and its assignees and subtenants permitted hereunder) while occupying the Premises:

(i) hot and cold domestic water at those points of supply provided for general use of the tenants of the Building;

(ii) central heat, ventilation and air conditioning to the Premises and common areas of the Building, at such times, at such temperatures and in such amounts as are considered by Landlord to be standard, but in keeping with the standards of other Class A office buildings of comparable age and size in the Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas office market, all as more particularly described on EXHIBIT F attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes;

(iii) electric lighting service for all Public Areas and special service areas of the Building and the Project in the manner and to the extent deemed by Landlord to be in keeping with the standards of other Class A office buildings of comparable age and size in the Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas office market;

(iv) janitorial service comparable to that provided by landlords of other Class A office buildings of comparable age and size in the Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas office market and consistent with other similar tenants in the Building on a five (5) day per week basis in accordance with the specifications set forth in EXHIBIT H attached hereto; provided, however, if Tenant’s floor coverings or other improvements require special cleaning or care in excess of that provided for by Landlord in EXHIBIT H, Landlord will provide such additional cleaning or care only upon special agreement with Tenant;

(v) on-site security equipment for the Building perimeter; provided, however, that Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible for the adequacy or effectiveness of such security;

(vi) electricity; Tenant shall pay to Landlord, monthly as billed or at such other times during any calendar year Landlord submits electricity bills, such charges as may be separately metered; if any electrical equipment requires air conditioning in excess of Building standards as reasonably determined by Landlord, the same shall be installed with applicable meters, at Tenant’s expense and Tenant shall pay all operating costs relating thereto, including, without limitation, any additional maintenance, repair and utilities related to such electrical equipment and above Building Standard (as defined in EXHIBIT D) air conditioning equipment;

(vii) all Building Standard fluorescent bulb replacement in all areas and all incandescent bulb replacement in Public Areas;

3.2 GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS. The obligations of Landlord to provide the Required Services shall be subject to governmental regulation thereof (i.e., rationing, temperature control, etc.) and any such regulation that impairs Landlord’s ability to provide the Required Services as herein stipulated shall not constitute a default hereunder but rather providing the applicable Required Services to the extent allowed pursuant to such regulations shall be deemed to be full compliance with the obligations and agreements of Landlord hereunder.

3.3 FAILURE TO PROVIDE REQUIRED SERVICES. To the extent any of the Required Services require electricity, gas and water supplied by public utilities, Landlord’s covenants hereunder shall only impose on Landlord the obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable public utilities to furnish the same. Failure by Landlord to furnish any of the Required Services to any extent, or any cessation thereof, due to failure of any public utility to furnish service to the Building, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, shall not render Landlord liable in any respect for damages to either person or property, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor result in an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof. In the event of any failure by Landlord to furnish any of the Required Services to any extent, or any cessation thereof, due to malfunction of any equipment or machinery, or any other cause within the reasonable control of Landlord, Tenant shall have no claim for rebate of Rent or damages on account thereof. The services described in Sections 3.1(i), (ii), (iii), and (vi) above are referred to herein as “Essential Services”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Premises or any portion thereof are rendered untenantable and are not used by Tenant for a period of five (5) consecutive days following Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of a written notice regarding such matters (the “Eligibility Period”) as a result of failure in any Essential Service, Tenant’s Base Rent and Estimated Additional Rent shall be reduced and abated after the expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time as the Premises (or portion thereof, as the case may be) remain untenantable and are not used by Tenant, in the same proportion as the Rentable Area rendered untenantable and not used bears to the total Rentable Area of the Premises; provided, however, there shall be no abatement of Rent: (i) if Landlord provides to Tenant other space in the Building which is reasonably suited for the temporary operation of Tenant’s business; (ii) if the failure is caused in whole or in part by a governmental directive, failure of a utility provider to provide service to the Premises, any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control and ability to cure, or solely by the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Tenant or any of its assignees claiming by through or under Tenant, and any of their respective agents, contractors, employees, licensees and invitees; or (iii) to the extent such failure is caused by a fire or other casualty. As used herein, “untenantable” means the Premises is in a condition not reasonably usable or accessible by Tenant or its employees for the conduct of business, and includes, but is not limited to, the unavailability of any Essential Service to the Premises.

If the foregoing conditions for rent abatement are met with respect to a failure of an Essential Service that continues for a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease within ten (10) days of the expiration of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, as long as Landlord does not restore the service in question within such ten (10) day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any rent abatement period under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord as Rent Landlord’s normal charges for all services and utilities provided to and used by Tenant during the period of the rent abatement.

3.4 ADDITIONAL SERVICES. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is obligated to provide only the Required Services under this Lease, and that Landlord, its agents and representatives, have made no representations whatsoever of any additional services or amenities to be provided by Landlord now or in the future under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant recognizes that Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole but reasonable option, elect to provide additional services or amenities for the tenants of the Building from time to time, and hereby agrees that Landlord’s discontinuance of any provision of any such additional services or amenities shall not constitute a default of Landlord under this Lease nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of or reduction in Rent. Landlord may impose a reasonable charge and establish rules and regulations for any of the following: (a) the use of any HVAC by Tenant outside of Standard Operating Hours; (b) additional or unusual janitorial services requested by Tenant or required because of any non-building standard improvements in the Premises, the carelessness of Tenant, or the nature of Tenant’s business (other than ordinary office use) (including the operation of Tenant’s business other than during Standard Operating Hours); (c) the removal of any refuse and rubbish from the Premises except for discarded material placed in wastepaper baskets and left for emptying as an incident to Landlord’s normal cleaning of the Premises; and (d) any other services specifically requested by Tenant not otherwise included in Operating Expenses.

All expenses (including without limitation any reasonable structural reinforcements necessary to support said equipment and Landlord’s costs incurred in connecting the generator to the Project’s electrical systems and Landlord’s oversight fees) and permitting associated with the installation, operation, maintenance and insuring of such equipment shall be borne solely by Tenant. Tenant shall screen the generator and fuel tank and ensure sound-attenuation in accordance with Legal Requirements and in a manner reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall, at its expense, remove the generator and associated fuel tank within thirty (30) days of any of the following events: (1) the termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Premises; (2) the termination of the Lease; or (3) the Expiration Date. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may remove the generator and associated fuel tank and store and dispose of it in any manner Landlord deems appropriate without liability to Tenant; Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith within 10 days after Landlord’s request therefor. Tenant shall give Landlord at least 48 hours’ prior notice of any maintenance or testing of the generator and/or fuel tank. Tenant shall repair any damage and remediate any environmental contamination to the Building or the Project caused by or relating to the generator and associated fuel tank, including that which is caused by its installation, maintenance, use or removal. During the Term, Tenant may install on the roof of the Building in a location acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion a non-penetrating Directv dish and a compressor to provide dedicated air

conditioning service to its server and network operations center rooms (with such dedicated air conditioning being separately metered at Tenant’s cost and expense, which expense Tenant may cover out of the Allowance, and subject to Landlord’s consent as to location and installation). All expenses and permitting associated with the installation, operation, maintenance and insuring of such dish and air conditioning equipment shall be borne solely by Tenant. Tenant shall, at its expense, remove the dish and air conditioning equipment within thirty (30) days of any of the following events: (1) the termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Premises; (2) the termination of the Lease; or (3) the Expiration Date.

Provided, however, if such Partial Taking is for more than forty percent (40%) of the Premises and will prevent Tenant, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, from conducting its business in the Premises in a manner comparable to that conducted immediately before the Partial Taking, then Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the Date of Taking by giving written notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the Date of Taking.

(c) In the event of a Taking of a material portion of the Building (other than the Premises) such that, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the Building’s continued operation is not practically or economically feasible, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date notice of such Taking is received by Landlord.

(d) If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.1, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any prepaid unaccrued Rent and any other sums due and owing to Tenant (less any sums then due and owing Landlord by Tenant), and Tenant shall pay to Landlord any remaining sums due and owing Landlord under this Lease, each prorated as of the Date of Taking where applicable.

(e) If this Lease is not terminated as provided for in this Section 6.1, Landlord at its expense shall promptly repair and restore the Building, Project and/or the Premises to substantially the same condition that existed immediately prior to the Date of Taking, wear and tear only excepted (and Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or restore Tenant’s improvements to the Premises or Tenant’s property), except for the part taken, so as to render the Building or Project as complete an architectural unit as practical, but only to the extent of the condemnation award received by Landlord for the damage.

(f) Landlord reserves all rights to damages and awards paid because of any Partial or Total Taking of the Premises or the Project. Tenant assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may have to the damages or award. Further, Tenant shall not make claims against Landlord or the condemning authority for damages. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may pursue a separate claim against the condemning authority for the value of Tenant’s moving expenses, business dislocation damages, Tenant’s property and Trade Fixtures and any other award that would not reduce the award payable to Landlord.

6.2 DAMAGES FROM CERTAIN CAUSES. Landlord shall not be liable or responsible to Tenant for (i) any loss or damage to any property or person occasioned by any cause beyond Landlord’s control (“Force Majeure”), including without limitation, theft, fire, act of God, public enemy, terrorist act, injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order, requisition or order of governmental body or authority (including any failure by any such governmental body or authority to issue any permits necessary for alterations to and/or occupancy of the Premises and/or Building), or (ii) any damage or inconvenience which may arise through repair or alteration of any part of the Building made necessary by virtue of any such Force Majeure event. The terms and provisions of this Section 6.2 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

6.3 CASUALTY.

(a) If at any time during the term of this Lease, including any extension or renewal thereof, the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty, then, unless this Lease is terminated by Landlord as hereinafter provided, Landlord shall be obligated to promptly commence, and thereafter prosecute with reasonable diligence, the reconstruction, restoration and repair of the Building and the Premises to a condition substantially equivalent to that existing immediately prior to the casualty. If the damage renders the Premises inaccessible or untenantable in whole or in part, the Rent provided for herein shall xxxxx thereafter as to the portion of the Premises so affected until such time as same is accessible and restored to a tenantable condition, as reasonably determined by Landlord.

(b) If (i) the Building is damaged to an extent that Landlord’s good faith estimate of the cost of reconstruction, restoration and repair thereof exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the replacement cost of the Building, (ii) the reconstruction, restoration and repair of the Premises or the Building cannot with reasonable diligence be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the casualty, or (iii) the casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) calendar months of the term of this Lease, then in any such event Landlord shall have the right, exercisable by written notice given to Tenant at any time within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the casualty, to elect not to reconstruct, restore or repair the Premises, and in such event this Lease shall be terminated in all respects effective as of the date of the casualty, all Rent shall be prorated to the date of the casualty, and the parties hereto shall be released from any obligations thereafter accruing under this Lease (except as otherwise provided herein). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Premises or the Building is damaged by a casualty such that Tenant is prevented from conducting its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such casualty and Landlord estimates that the damage caused thereby cannot be repaired within two hundred ten (210) days after the casualty, which notice Landlord agrees to provide within forty-five (45) days after such casualty, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the notice from landlord of the estimate of time needed to repair the damage.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.3, in no event shall Landlord be required to expend more to reconstruct, restore and repair the Building than the amount actually received by Landlord from the proceeds of the property insurance carried by Landlord.

ARTICLE VII

7.1 PROPERTY INSURANCE.

(a) Landlord shall maintain “special form” property insurance determined on a replacement cost basis on the Building and on all Leasehold Improvements. Landlord also may, but shall not be obligated to, maintain such other additional insurance as is customary for a landlord to maintain or as may be required by Landlord’s lender, including, but not limited to rental abatement insurance and personal property insurance. Landlord agrees to maintain commercial general liability insurance with applicable limits of not less than $2,000,000 for death, bodily injury and property damage per occurrence, subject to a general aggregate of $4,000,000, which coverages may be effected by primary or excess coverage. Landlord’s commercial general liability insurance shall include coverage for contractual liability assumed under this Lease. Said insurance shall be maintained with an insurance company authorized to do business in the state in which the Building is located, in amounts desired by Landlord and at the expense of Landlord (but with the same to be included in Operating Expenses) and payments for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord. If the annual premiums to be paid by Landlord shall exceed the standard rates because of Tenant’s operations within or contents of the Premises or because the Leasehold Improvements to the Premises exceed the amount of the Allowance (as defined in EXHIBIT D), Tenant shall promptly pay the excess amount of the premium upon request by Landlord (and if necessary, Landlord may allocate the insurance costs of the Building to give effect to this sentence). Landlord shall deliver a copy of such policy, or evidence of insurance (XXXXX-27 or equivalent) in a form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, as directed by Tenant, within ten (10) days after any request therefor and shall endeavor to do so no later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration or sooner termination of such policies.

(b) Tenant shall maintain at its expense “special form” property insurance (formerly known as “All-Risk Coverage”) with vandalism, malicious mischief and sprinkler leakage on all of its personal property, including Trade Fixtures, located in the Premises. Such coverage shall be for an amount not less than the full replacement cost of such insured items. Tenant shall endeavor to cause all insurance required to be maintained by Tenant to provide that the policy shall not be cancellable, nor shall the coverage thereunder be reduced, without at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall deliver copies of such policies, or certificates of insurance in a form satisfactory to Landlord, within ten (10) business days after any request therefor.

7.2 LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall, at its sole expense, maintain a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance with applicable limits of not less than $3,000,000 for death, bodily injury and property damage per occurrence, subject to a general aggregate of $5,000,000, which coverages may be effected by primary or excess coverage. Tenant’s commercial general liability insurance shall include coverage for contractual liability assumed under this Lease, shall name Landlord, Landlord’s mortgagees, ground lessees, Landlord’s property manager and other persons with an insurable interest as may be designated by Landlord as additional insureds. The commercial general liability insurance policies to be maintained by Tenant shall have a deductible amount or self-insured retention not greater than $5,000.

7.3 OTHER INSURANCE. Tenant shall maintain business auto policy insurance, for any owned, non-owned or hired autos, including contractual liability coverage, with an applicable limit of not less than $1,000,000 per accident, naming Landlord, Landlord’s mortgagee and all ground lessees,

Landlord’s property manager and such other persons with an insurable interest as may be designated by Landlord as additional insureds, with a deductible of not greater than $5,000.00. Tenant shall also maintain workers’ compensation insurance in the amount provided by statute and employer’s liability insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per accident, with an endorsement providing a waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord, Landlord’s mortgagees and property manager, and any other persons reasonably designated by Landlord.

7.4 GENERAL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. All policies shall be written as primary policies and not contributing with or in excess of any coverage maintained by Landlord. Whenever Tenant is required to insure against any risk under this Lease, said insurance shall be with an insurance company qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Building is located and maintaining a rating of A- or better and a financial size class of VIII or higher with A.M. Best’s Insurance Rating Service. Tenant shall endeavor to cause all insurance required to be maintained by Tenant to provide that the policy shall not be cancellable, nor shall the coverage thereunder be reduced, without at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall deliver copies of such policies, or evidence of insurance (XXXXX-27 or equivalent) in a form satisfactory to Landlord, as directed by Landlord, prior to Tenant’s taking occupancy of the Premises (or performing any work within the Premises, if earlier), within ten (10) days after any request therefor and no later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration or sooner termination of such policies.

7.5 HOLD HARMLESS; INDEMNITY.

(a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, Landlord’s Indemnitees (defined below) shall not be liable for, and Tenant waives all claims for, loss or damage to Tenant’s business or injury or damage to person or property sustained by Tenant, or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, resulting from any accident or occurrence in, on, or about the Building, including claims for loss, theft, injury or damage resulting from: (i) any equipment or appurtenances being or becoming out of repair; (ii) wind or weather; (iii) any defect in or failure to operate any sprinkler, HVAC equipment, wiring, fiber optic or other cabling, gas, water or steam pipe, stair, railing or walk; (iv) interference, interruption, failure or other fault with respect to any utilities or communications, (v) broken glass; (vi) the backing up of any sewer pipe or downspout; (vii) the escape of gas, steam or water; (viii) water, snow or ice being upon or about the Building or coming into the Premises; (ix) the falling of any fixture, plaster, tile, stucco or other material; (x) any act, omission or negligence of other tenants, licensees or any other Persons including occupants of the Building, occupants of adjoining or contiguous buildings, owners of adjacent or contiguous property, or the public; or (xi) any repairs, maintenance, alteration or improvement in or to any portion of the Project or the Building, including the Premises, UNLESS LANDLORD IS GROSSLY NEGLIGENT IN PERFORMING SUCH REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE, ALTERATIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS, AND SUCH GROSS NEGLIGENCE IS THE SOLE, PROXIMATE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE. TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 7.5(a), TENANT WAIVES CLAIMS AGAINST LANDLORD INDEMNITEES EVEN IF LANDLORD INDEMNITEES ARE NEGLIGENT WHEN SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS OTHER THAN GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND WHEN SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS NOT THE SOLE, PROXIMATE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE UPON WHICH THE CLAIMS ARE MADE.

(b) TENANT SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD LANDLORD AND ITS LESSORS, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, TRUSTEES, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES,

PROPERTY MANAGER AND MORTGAGEE(S) (COLLECTIVELY, “LANDLORD’S INDEMNITEES”) HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, DAMAGES, JUDGMENTS, PENALTIES, CLAIMS, COSTS, CHARGES AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES (A “LOSS”), WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED UPON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY OF LANDLORD’S INDEMNITEES AND ARISING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH (I) TENANT’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS LEASE, (II) THE ACTS OR NEGLIGENCE OF TENANT, ITS AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, AND EMPLOYEES, (III) THE USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISESOR THE LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS BY TENANT, ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS, (IV) THE USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES OR THE LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS BY TENANT’S INVITEES WHILE WITHIN THE PREMISES OR LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS, AND (V) ANY VIOLATIONS OF LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PROVISIONS OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT THE LOSS WAS CAUSED BY THE SOLE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LANDLORD OR ITS AGENT. TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7.5(b), TENANT AGREES TO INDEMNIFY LANDLORD INDEMNITEES EVEN IF LANDLORD INDEMNITEES ARE NEGLIGENT WHEN SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS OTHER THAN SOLE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE. If any action or proceeding is brought against any of Landlord’s Indemnitees by reason of any of the foregoing, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of defending such action or proceeding or, upon Landlord’s request and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, defend such action and proceeding by counsel reasonably approved by Landlord. If Landlord elects to defend itself at Tenant’s cost as provided in the previous sentence, Tenant shall have the right to approve any settlement or compromise which would cause Tenant to incur any liability, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnity set forth in this Section 7.5(b) shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease and shall not terminate or be waived, diminished or affected in any manner by any abatement or apportionment of Rent under any provision of this Lease.

(c) LANDLORD SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD TENANT AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES (COLLECTIVELY, “TENANT’S INDEMNITEES”) HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, DAMAGES, JUDGMENTS, PENALTIES, CLAIMS, COSTS, CHARGES AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES (A “LOSS”), ARISING FROM ANY OCCURRENCE IN THE BUILDING (BUT NOT THE PREMISES), PARKING FACILITIES OR COMMON AREAS WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED UPON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY OF TENANT’S INDEMNITEES AND ARISING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH (I) LANDLORD’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS LEASE, (II) THE ACTS OR NEGLIGENCE OF LANDLORD, ITS AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, AND EMPLOYEES, (III) THE USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE BUILDING, PARKING FACILITIES OR COMMON AREAS BY LANDLORD, ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS, (IV) THE USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE BUILDING, PARKING FACILITIES OR COMMON AREAS BY LANDLORD’S INVITEES, AND (V) ANY VIOLATIONS OF LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PROVISIONS OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT THE LOSS WAS CAUSED BY THE SOLE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF TENANT OR ITS AGENT.

LANDLORD ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7.5(c), LANDLORD AGREES TO INDEMNIFY TENANT’S INDEMNITEES EVEN IF TENANT’S INDEMNITEES ARE NEGLIGENT WHEN SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS OTHER THAN SOLE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE. If any action or proceeding is brought against any of Tenant’s Indemnitees by reason of any of the foregoing, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost of defending such action or proceeding or, upon Tenant’s request and at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, defend such action and proceeding by counsel reasonably approved by Tenant. If Tenant elects to defend itself at Landlord’s cost as provided in the previous sentence, Landlord shall have the right to approve any settlement or compromise which would cause Landlord to incur any liability, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

7.6 WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND RECOVERY RIGHTS. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant each, on behalf of themselves and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives, assigns and insurers, hereby (i) waives any and all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action against the other and their respective officers, directors, partners, shareholders, agents, servants, employees, guests, licensees or invitees for any property loss or damage that may occur to the Premises or other portion of the Project, or any improvements thereto, or any personal property of such party therein, by reason of fire, the elements, or any other cause which is required to be insured against under the terms of the insurance policies referred to in this Article VII, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE OR ORIGIN, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OF THE OTHER PARTY HERETO OR ITS RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, SERVANTS, EMPLOYEES, GUESTS, LICENSEES OR INVITEES, and (ii) covenants that no insurer under any property insurance maintained by Landlord or Tenant shall hold any right of subrogation against such other party.

ARTICLE VIII

8.1 LANDLORD’S LIEN. Intentionally deleted

8.2 DEFAULT BY TENANT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Lease:

(a) Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of Rent when due, and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after such due date; and exceeds the one time grace period per lease year.

(b) Tenant shall fail to execute and acknowledge or otherwise respond in good faith and in writing within ten (10) business days after submission to Tenant of a request for confirmation of the subordination of this Lease pursuant to Section 11.1(a), confirmation of the subordination of a mortgage or deed of trust lien to this Lease pursuant to Section 11.1(b) or an estoppel certificate pursuant to Section 11.2;

(c) Tenant shall fail in the performance of any of the other covenants or conditions not included in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 8.2 which Tenant is required to observe and to perform under this Lease, inclusive of the exhibits hereto and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice to Tenant or such longer period as is reasonably necessary to remedy such default if it is of a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days and as long as Tenant is actively and diligently pursuing the cure of such default, unless such failure (i) materially and adversely affects the Building or the operation thereof or other tenants, or (ii) violates Legal Requirements, and in either such event, Tenant fails to cure the same within ten (10) business days of receipt of written notice or in the event of an issue requiring more than ten (10) business days to cure, Tenant fails to commence to cure said item within ten (10) business days of receipt of said notice and actually cures within sixty (60) days receipt of written notice.

(d) The interest of Tenant under this Lease shall be levied on under execution or other legal process; any petition shall be filed by or against Tenant to declare Tenant a bankrupt or to delay, reduce or modify Tenant’s debts or obligations, or to reorganize or modify Tenant’s capital structure; Tenant is declared insolvent according to law; any assignment of Tenant’s property shall be made for the benefit of creditors; or a receiver or trustee is appointed for Tenant or its property and such levy, execution, legal process, petition, declaration, assignment or appointment is not removed or vacated within sixty (60) days from the date of its creation, service or filing;

(e) Tenant shall vacate or abandon the Premises for a period of thirty (30) or more continuous days at any time during the Term, unless (i) Tenant gives Landlord thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of its intent to vacate the Premises and (ii) Tenant complies with all other terms of the Lease, including the payment of Rent and the maintenance of insurance; or

(f) Tenant, if a corporation, shall cease to exist as a corporation in good standing in the state of its incorporation, or Tenant, if a partnership or other entity, shall be dissolved or otherwise liquidated.

8.3 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, at Landlord’s option, Landlord may (without further notice or grace) exercise any one or more of the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law or in equity:

(a) Terminate this Lease and immediately repossess the Premises by forcible entry and detainer suit or otherwise, and be entitled to recover forthwith as damages a sum of money equal to the total of (i) the cost of recovering the Premises (including reasonable legal fees and costs of suit), (ii) the unpaid Rent earned at the time of termination, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, (iii) the balance of the Rent for the remainder of the term of this Lease, discounted to present value at a per annum rate equal to the “Prime Rate” as published on the date this Lease is terminated by the Wall Street Journal, Southwest Edition, in its listing of “Money Rates” minus one percent minus the fair market rental value of the Premises for said period similarly discounted, taking into account the period of time during which the Premises is likely to remain vacant until a new tenant commences payment of rental and the reasonably anticipated out-of-pocket expenses to be incurred by Landlord to relet the Premises (such as the cost of preparation of the Premises, leasing commissions and reasonable legal fees associated with occupancy by a new tenant), and (iv) any other sum of money and damages owed by Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

For the purpose of calculating Landlord’s damages under clause (iii) of this paragraph, Tenant covenants and agrees that:

(i) it shall be assumed that the Additional Rent for the calendar year in which this Lease is terminated would be equal to the Additional Rent for the last full calendar year prior to termination, increased at a rate equal to the average rate of increase (if any) of Operating Expenses for the three (3) full calendar years preceding the calendar year of termination (the “Escalation Rate”), and that the Additional Rent for each year thereafter for the remainder of the term would be equal to the Additional Rent for the preceding calendar year (calculated in the same manner as for the year of termination), increased at the Escalation Rate; and

(ii) Landlord may rely upon the average of the determinations of the fair market rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the term of this Lease made independently and in writing by three (3) reputable real estate brokers active in the leasing of office space comparable to the Premises in the Xxxxxxxxxx County, Texas office market and selected by Landlord in good faith, and Tenant shall have no right to dispute the value so calculated.

(b) Terminate Tenant’s right of possession (but not this Lease) and immediately repossess the Premises by forcible entry and detainer suit or otherwise, in accordance with applicable law, without thereby releasing Tenant from any liability hereunder and without terminating this Lease, and shall be entitled to recover forthwith as damages a sum of money equal to the total of (i) the cost of recovering the Premises (including reasonable legal fees and costs of suit), (ii) the unpaid Rent earned at the time of termination, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, and (iii) any other sum of money and damages then owed by Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall remain liable for the payment of all Rent as same becomes due under the terms of this Lease. After regaining possession of the Premises under this Section 8.3(b), Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole, good faith judgment deems acceptable and are in adherence with the laws of the state of Texas for mitigation of damages, and if the Premises are so relet, Tenant shall receive credit against the sums otherwise payable to Landlord hereunder only for the amount of the Net Reletting Income (as hereinafter defined). For the purpose of such reletting Landlord shall be authorized but not obligated to decorate or to make any repairs, changes, alterations or additions in or to Premises as may be reasonably necessary or desirable. Landlord reserves the right, however (x) to lease any other space available in the Building prior to offering the Premises for lease, (y) to refuse to lease the Premises to any potential tenant that does not meet Landlord’s standards and criteria for leasing other comparable space in the Building (including, without limitation, rental rates), and (z) to reconfigure the Premises and lease only portions thereof or lease all or part of the Premises in combination with other space. Any payments due Landlord under this Section 8.3(b) shall be made upon demand therefor from time to time, and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due under the terms of this Section 8.3(b) from time to time. No delivery to or recovery by Landlord of any portion due Landlord hereunder shall be any defense in any action to recover any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord, nor shall any reletting be construed as an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant by Landlord. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease as a result of the breach of this Lease that gave rise to such reletting. As used above, the term “Net Reletting Income” means the amount of all rentals actually received by Landlord in respect of a reletting of the Premises during the term of this Lease, less all of the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation,

leasing commissions, demolition of existing improvements and installation of new improvements and/or the allowances provided therefor, and legal fees.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, enter upon the Premises by use of a master key, a duplicate key or other peaceable means, and alter the door locks on all entry doors of the Premises, thereby excluding Tenant and its officers, principals, agents, employees, contractors, representatives and invitees. If Landlord elects to so exclude Tenant from the Premises without terminating this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, then Landlord shall be obligated to provide Tenant a key to re-enter the Premises only upon payment in full of all delinquent Rent and other amounts due under this Lease and the curing of all other defaults, if any. If this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises is terminated, Landlord will, for a period of thirty (30) days following such termination of the Lease or right of possession, during Landlord’s regular business hours, at Landlord’s convenience and upon written request by Tenant, escort Tenant or its authorized personnel to the Premises to retrieve personal belongings of Tenant’s employees and any property of Tenant.

(d) If Landlord terminates this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession (without terminating the Lease), Landlord shall use objectively reasonable efforts to mitigate Landlord’s damages by re-letting the Premises following Tenant’s vacancy thereof, but in doing so, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be required to (i) give preference to re-letting the Premises prior to leasing other space that Landlord has available, i.e., any prospective tenant’s space requirements will dictate Landlord’s leasing activities, (ii) expend any sums to so re-let or (iii) re-let at rental rates less than rental rates then being offered to new tenants of the Building. Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or collect any rentals due in respect of such reletting. In any proceedings to enforce this Lease, Landlord shall be presumed to have used commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises or otherwise mitigate Landlord’s damages, and Tenant shall bear the burden of proof to establish otherwise. Unless contrary to Applicable Law, Landlord will have satisfied the duty to mitigate and will have used objectively reasonable efforts to relet the Premises if Landlord does the following within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the Event of Default: (1) place the Premises on Landlord’s inventory of available space; (2) make Landlord’s inventory available to area brokers; and (3) show the Premises to prospective tenants who request to see it.

(e) In the event of a termination of this Lease as a result of an Event of Default, Tenant hereby waives all right to recover or regain possession of the Premises, to save forfeiture by payment of Rent due or by other performance of the conditions, terms or provisions hereof, and without limitation of or by the foregoing, Tenant waives all right to reinstate or redeem this Lease notwithstanding any provisions of any statute, law or decision now or hereafter in force or effect and Tenant waives all right to any second or further trial in summary proceedings, ejectment, forcible entry and detainer, forcible detainer or in any other action provided by any statute or decision now or hereafter in force or effect. Landlord shall not be required to serve Tenant with any notices or demands as a prerequisite to its exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Lease, other than those notices and demands specifically required under this Lease. Tenant expressly waives the service of any statutory demand or notice that is a prerequisite to Landlord’s commencement of eviction proceedings against Tenant, including, without limitation, the demands and notices specified in the Texas Property Code.

(f) Landlord and Tenant are knowledgeable and experienced in commercial leasing transactions and agree that the provisions of this Lease for determining all Rent and other charges and amounts payable by Tenant are commercially reasonable and valid, and as to each such charge or amount, constitutes a “method by which the charge is to be computed” for purposes of Section 93.012 of the Texas Property Code, even though such methods may not state a precise mathematical formula for determining such charges. ACCORDINGLY, TENANT VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND BENEFITS, IF ANY, OF A TENANT UNDER SECTION 93.012 OF THE TEXAS PROPERTY CODE, AS SUCH SECTION NOW EXISTS OR AS IT MAY BE HEREAFTER AMENDED OR SUCCEEDED.

8.4 LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. All agreements and provisions to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement of Rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than monthly installments of Base Rent and Estimated Additional Rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to cure any default within any applicable cure, grace or notice period contained herein, then Landlord may, but shall in no event be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s account, and such cure by Landlord shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any of its other remedies or a release of Tenant from any obligations hereunder. All sums so paid by Landlord and all costs incurred by Landlord in taking such action shall be deemed Rent and shall be paid to Landlord on demand, and Landlord shall have (in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of Rent hereunder.

8.5 NON-WAIVER. Failure of Landlord to declare any default immediately upon occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall not waive such default, but Landlord 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. The rights and remedies given to Landlord in this Lease are distinct, separate and cumulative remedies, and no one of them, whether or not exercised by Landlord, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any of the others. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than a full installment of Rent due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest Rent due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any documentation accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease, at law, or in equity.

8.6 HOLDING OVER. If Tenant continues in occupancy of the Premises after expiration or termination of this Lease without the written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall pay as Rent for the holdover period One Hundred and Fifty Percent (150%) of the Base Rent and Estimated Additional Rent (pro rated on a daily basis) payable immediately prior to the the expiration or termination. No holding over by Tenant after the term of this Lease without the written consent of Landlord shall be construed to extend the term hereof. Any holding over without the prior written consent of Landlord shall constitute such holdover a tenancy at sufferance relationship between Landlord and Tenant unless Landlord has specifically stated in writing in such consent that a tenancy at will is intended. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE IX

9.1 ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE BY TENANT.

(a) Tenant shall not assign this Lease, sublet all or any part of the Premises or allow the Premises to be used or occupied by others (any such event being referred to herein as a (“Transfer”), or mortgage or otherwise encumber its leasehold estate under this Lease or its property within the Premises, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed subject to Section 9.1 (c) below.

(b) Tenant shall give Landlord at least sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of any proposed Transfer, stating the anticipated terms thereof and all relevant information on the proposed transferee requested by Landlord. Landlord shall then have a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice within which to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to either (i) to terminate this Lease as to the space so affected, in which event Tenant shall be relieved of all obligations hereunder as to such space arising from and after such date, however, Tenant shall reserve the right to withdraw its request to Transfer in the event Landlord chooses to Terminate the lease (ii) consent to the proposed Transfer, or (iii) refuse consent on reasonable grounds as set forth Section 9.1 (c) below. In addition, in the event Tenant has delivered a notice to abandon the entire Premises under Section 8.2(e) hereof, and such abandonment continues for a period of six (6) months, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease at any time following the expiration of such six (6) month period so long as the abandonment continues.

(c) Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a proposed Transfer provided all of the following conditions have been met: (i) Tenant is not in default under the Lease, (ii) the nature and character of the proposed transferee, its creditworthiness, business and activities or its intended use of the Premises are consistent with the standards of the Building in Landlord’s sole judgment, (iii) the proposed transferee is not then an occupant of any part of the Building unless Landlord does not have adequate space in the Building or a party with whom Landlord is then negotiating to lease space within the Building as evidenced by a written proposal made by Landlord to the proposed transferee (or from the proposed transferee to Landlord) within the six (6) month period prior to Tenant’s request for consent for the proposed Transfer; (iv) the proposed occupancy would not impose an extra burden upon the Building systems or Landlord’s ability to provide services to the other tenants of the Buildings, (iv) the granting of such consent would not constitute a default under any other agreement to which Landlord is a party or by which Landlord is bound, including, without limitation, any exclusives previously granted to other tenants of the Project and any restrictions on leasing contained in any other leases of space in the Building, (v) the proposed transferee is not a governmental agency or an entity with diplomatic immunity, or (vi) the requested assignment or sublease does not modify the Lease or the rights, obligations, or liabilities of either Landlord or Tenant under this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the foregoing conditions are a reasonable basis for Landlord to withhold its consent to a Transfer and that if all of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, Landlord may withhold its consent to a proposed Transfer in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.

(d) If Landlord consents to a Transfer, Tenant agrees that Fifty Percent (50%) of all Rent amounts and other consideration payable to Tenant in respect of the Transfer in excess of the Rent for the Premises or the portion thereof subject to the Transfer shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder immediately upon Tenant’s receipt thereof after deduction for all reasonable brokerage

commissions, free rent and tenant improvement allowances actually paid by Tenant in conjunction with such Transfer, or at Landlord’s option such payments can be made directly to Landlord by such sublessee or assignee. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall remain directly and primarily liable for the performance of all the obligations of Tenant hereunder (including, without limitation, the obligation to pay all Rent). The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not be deemed in any manner to be a consent to a use not permitted under Section I .5(a). Any consent by Landlord to a particular Transfer shall not constitute Landlord’s consent to any other or subsequent Transfer. In furtherance of the foregoing, but not in limitation thereof, the acceptance by Landlord of the payment of Rent following any Transfer prohibited by this Article IX shall not be deemed to be a consent or approval by Landlord to any such Transfer, nor shall the same be deemed a waiver of any right or remedy of Landlord hereunder as a result thereof.

(e) If Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, a withdrawal or change, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of partners or members owning as of the date hereof a controlling or majority interest in Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease subject to the provisions of this Section 9.1. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or transfer (whether by way of one or more sales or transfers) of the controlling or majority interest as of the date hereof in Tenant’s capital stock shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease and subject to the provisions of this Section 9.1.

(f) Tenant agrees to pay Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with Landlord’s review and approval of any proposed subletting or assignment and an administrative fee of one thousand dollars ($1,000).

(g) Notwithstanding Section 9.1(a) above, provided no Event of Default has occurred under this Lease, Tenant may effect a Transfer to any Affiliated Entity without Landlord’s prior consent provided (i) Tenant describes in writing to Landlord the transaction in which the Transfer will be effective, or provides Landlord with a copy of the form Transfer documents, prior to the Transfer; (ii) Tenant identifies the Affiliated Entity to which Tenant intends to effect a Transfer prior to the Transfer; and (iii) Tenant delivers to Landlord a copy of the executed Transfer documents on a Landlord-approved form to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such Transfer. A Transfer to an Affiliated Entity shall not release Tenant from any of its liabilities or obligations under this Lease, and the Transfer documents shall provide that Tenant shall remain primarily liable under this Lease jointly and severally with the Affiliated Entity. In no event shall any such Transfer have any material adverse financial impact on Tenant’s financial status. Tenant shall, prior to any such Transfer, provide written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that there shall be no material adverse financial impact on Tenant resulting from such Transfer. For purposes hereof, “Affiliated Entity” shall mean an entity which (i) controls, is controlled by, or is in common control with Tenant; or (ii) results from the merger or consolidation with Tenant, or (iii) acquires all or substantially all of the assets of, interest in, or stock of Tenant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event may Tenant effect a Transfer to an Affiliated Entity whose primary assets are leaseholds or other non-income producing assets, and any transfer of all or a substantial portion of Tenant’s assets separate from the Transfer is expressly prohibited.

9.2 ASSIGNMENT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any person or entity acquiring ownership of the Project, and in such event and upon such transfer (any such person or entity to have the benefit of, and be subject to, the

provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof) no further liability or obligation shall thereafter accrue against Landlord hereunder.

ARTICLE X

10.1 QUIET ENJOYMENT. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, Landlord covenants that Tenant shall and may peacefully have, hold and enjoy the Premises from those parties claiming possession or rights to the Premises by or through Landlord, subject to the other terms hereof, provided that Tenant pays the Rent and other sums herein recited to be paid by Tenant and performs all of Tenant’s covenants and agreements herein contained. It is understood and agreed that this covenant and any and all other covenants of Landlord contained in this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors only with respect to breaches occurring during its and their respective ownership of Landlord’s interest hereunder. This covenant of quiet enjoyment is in lieu of any implied covenant of quiet enjoyment under Texas law.

10.2 LIMITATION OF LANDLORD’S PERSONAL LIABILITY. TENANT AGREES TO LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE PROJECT FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY JUDGMENT AGAINST LANDLORD, IT BEING AGREED THAT LANDLORD, ITS MANAGERS, MEMBERS, PARTNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES SHALL NEVER BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY SUCH JUDGMENT, AND TENANT, FOR ITSELF AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT, EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELEASES LANDLORD AND SUCH RELATED PERSONS AND ENTITIES FROM ANY AND ALL PERSONAL LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL LANDLORD BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ITS STATUTORY LIEN UNDER SECTION 91.004 OF THE TEXAS PROPERTY CODE. The provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or Landlord’s successors in interest or any suit or action in connection with enforcement or collection of amounts which may become owing or payable under or on account of insurance maintained by Landlord.

10.3 LIMITATION OF INTEREST HOLDER’S PERSONAL LIABILITY. If an Interest Holder shall succeed to the interest of Landlord, the Interest Holder shall have no personal liability as successor to Landlord, and Tenant shall look only to the estate and property of the Interest Holder in the Project or the proceeds thereof for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial procedure) requiring the payments of money in the event of any default by the Interest Holder as landlord under the Lease. In addition, the Interest Holder as holder of the Mortgage Document or as landlord under the Lease if it succeeds to that position, shall in no event (i) be liable to Tenant for any act or omission of any prior landlord, (ii) be subject to any offset or defense which Tenant might have against any prior landlord, (iii) be liable to Tenant for any liability or obligation of any prior landlord occurring prior to the date that the Interest Holder or any subsequent owner acquires title to the Project, or (iv) be liable to Tenant for any security or other deposits given to secure the performance of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, except to the extent that the Interest Holder shall have acknowledged actual receipt of such security or other deposits in writing. No other property or assets of the Interest Holder shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies under or with respect to the Lease, the relationship of the landlord and the tenant thereunder or Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises.

ARTICLE XI

11.1 SUBORDINATION.

(a) Subject to Landlords’ delivery to Tenant of a nondisturbance agreement acceptable to Tenant, Tenant covenants and agrees with Landlord that this Lease is subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease and/or security agreement which may now or hereafter encumber the Project or any interest of Landlord therein, and to any advances made on the security thereof and to any and all increases, renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Subject to Landlords’ delivery to Tenant of a nondisturbance agreement acceptable to Tenant„ Tenant shall execute any appropriate certificate or instrument that Landlord may request within ten (10) days after being requested by Landlord to do so. In the event of the enforcement by the ground lessor, the mortgagee, the trustee, the beneficiary or the secured party (any such party being herein referred to as “Interest Holder”) under any such ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust or security agreement (such documents being referred to herein as “Mortgage Documents”) of the remedies provided for by law or by such Mortgage Documents, Tenant, upon written request of the Interest Holder or any person or party succeeding to the interest of Landlord as a result of such enforcement, will attorn to and automatically become the tenant of such Interest Holder or successor in interest without any change in the terms or other provisions of this Lease; provided, however, that such Interest Holder or successor in interest shall not be bound by (i) any payment of Rent for more than one month in advance except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, or (ii) any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the written consent of such Interest Holder or such successor in interest. Upon request by such Interest Holder or successor in interest, whether before or after the enforcement of its remedies, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming and evidencing the attornment herein set forth.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 11.1(a), above, any Interest Holder may at any time subordinate its lien to this Lease in whole or in part, without any need to obtain Tenant’s consent, and without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery or recordation. In that event, to the extent set forth in such document, the Interest Holder shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as would have existed if this Lease had been executed, and a memorandum thereof recorded, prior to the execution, delivery and recordation of the mortgage or deed of trust. In confirmation of such subordination, however, Tenant shall execute any appropriate certificate or instrument that Landlord or the Interest Holder may request within ten (10) business days after being requested to do so.

11.2 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant agrees periodically, but in no event more than twice each calendar year, to furnish within ten (10) business days after written request by Landlord a certificate signed by a Tenant certifying (a) that the lease is in full force and effect and unmodified (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), (b) as to the Commencement Date and the date through which Base Rent, Estimated Additional Rent and additional Rent have been paid, (c) that Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises and that any improvements required by the terms of this Lease to be made by Landlord have been completed to the satisfaction of Tenant, (d) that except as stated in the certificate no Rent under this Lease has been paid more than thirty (30) days in advance of its due date, (e) that the address for notices to be sent to Tenant is as set forth in this Lease (or has been changed by notice duly given and is as set forth in the certificate), (f) that except as stated in the certificate, Tenant, as of the date of such certificate,

has no charge, lien, or claim of offset under this Lease or otherwise against Rent or other charges due or to become due hereunder, (g) that except as stated in the certificate, Landlord is not then in default under this Lease, (h) that there are no renewal or extension options, purchase options, rights of first refusal or the like in favor of Tenant except as set forth in this Lease and (i) as to such other matters as may be requested by Landlord. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any existing or prospective Interest Holder or purchaser of the Building or the Land or any part thereof or interest of Landlord therein.

11.3 RIGHT TO CURE LANDLORD’S DEFAULT. Prior to exercising any remedy for an alleged default by Landlord hereunder, Tenant will give written notice to any Interest Holder of which Tenant has notice specifying the nature of the alleged default. Each Interest Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) for a period of thirty (30) days after notice from Tenant to cure or remedy such default (or if the Interest Holder cannot reasonably cure or remedy such default within said thirty-day period, such longer period as is necessary to allow the Interest Holder to effect such cure or remedy, provided that the Interest Holder commences its good faith efforts to cure or remedy such default within said thirty (30) day period), and Tenant will accept such curative or remedial action taken by the Interest Holder with the same effect as if such action had been taken by Landlord.

ARTICLE XII

12.1 RELOCATION. Intentionally deleted.

12.2 NAME CHANGE. Landlord reserves and shall have the right at any time and from time to time to change the name of the Building as Landlord may deem advisable, and Landlord shall not incur any liability whatsoever to Tenant as a consequence thereof.

12.3 LEGAL FEES. If either party defaults in the performance of any of the terms, agreements or conditions contained in this Lease and the other party 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 Premises, in the hands of an attorney who files suit upon the same, and should such non-defaulting party prevail in such suit, the defaulting party agrees to pay the other party’s reasonable legal fees.

12.4 RADON. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines may be present in buildings in Texas. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from Xxxxxx County public health department or found in 25 Texas Administrative Code {289.203 and in rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

12.5 USA PATRIOT ACT AND ANTI-TERRORISM LAWS.

(c) At any time and from time-to-time during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) business days after receipt of a written request therefor, a written certification or such other evidence reasonably acceptable to Landlord evidencing and confirming Tenant’s compliance with this Section 12.5.

(c) This Lease may not be altered, changed or amended, except by an instrument in writing executed by all parties hereto. Further, the terms and provisions of this Lease shall not be construed against or in favor of a party hereto merely because such party is the “Landlord” or the “Tenant” hereunder or such party or its counsel is the draftsman of this Lease.

(d) The terms and provisions of all Exhibits described herein and attached hereto are hereby made a part hereof for all purposes. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior correspondence, memoranda, agreements or understandings (written or oral) with respect hereto are merged into and superseded by this Lease.

(e) If Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other entity, Tenant warrants and represents that (i) Tenant is a duly organized and existing legal entity in the State of Delaware, and is authorized to do business in and in good standing with the jurisdiction where the Building is located, (ii) Tenant has full right and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Lease and all consents or approvals required of third parties (including but not limited to its managers, members, board of directors or partners) for the execution, delivery and performance of this Lease have been obtained, (iii) the person executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so and (iv) upon request by Landlord, such person shall deliver to Landlord satisfactory evidence of his/her authority to so execute this Lease on behalf of Tenant.

(g) If any term or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Lease shall be valid and shall be enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

(h) Neither this Lease nor any memorandum hereof shall be recorded in any public records without the prior written consent of Landlord.

(p) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, TENANT’S OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT HEREUNDER IS NOT DEPENDENT UPON THE CONDITION OF THE PREMISES OR THE PERFORMANCE BY LANDLORD OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND TENANT SHALL CONTINUE TO PAY RENT HEREUNDER WITHOUT ABATEMENT, SETOFF, OR DEDUCTION, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY BREACH BY LANDLORD OF ITS DUTIES OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

(q) The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any provision contained in this Lease, which waiver shall only be effective if the same is in writing, or the failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist on strict performance by Tenant or Landlord, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such

provision as to any subsequent breach thereof or of any other provision contained in this Lease. The acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach or default by Tenant regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such breach or default at the time of acceptance of Rent.

(r) This Lease shall be governed by, interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas applicable to contracts executed and performed entirely within the State of Texas.

TO INDUCE LANDLORD TO ENTER INTO THIS LEASE, TENANT REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS: (A) IF TENANT IS REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL, THEN SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL IS OF ITS OWN CHOICE AND DESIGNATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS LEASE; (B) IF TENANT IS REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL, TENANT’S COUNSEL WAS NOT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IDENTIFIED, SUGGESTED OR SELECTED BY LANDLORD OR AN AGENT OF LANDLORD; (C) TENANT IS LEASING THE PREMISES FOR BUSINESS OR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES, NOT FOR USE AS TENANT’S RESIDENCE; (D) TENANT HAS SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE IN FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS MATTERS AND IT CAN EVALUATE THE MERITS AND RISKS OF THIS LEASE; (E) TENANT IS NOT IN A SIGNIFICANTLY DISPARATE BARGAINING POSITION RELATIVE TO LANDLORD WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE; (F) TENANT HAS A CHOICE OTHER THAN TO ENTER INTO THIS LEASE WITH THIS DTPA WAIVER PROVISION, IN THAT IT CAN ENTER INTO A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH ANOTHER LANDLORD OR PAY MORE CONSIDERATION TO ENTER INTO THIS LEASE WITHOUT THIS DTPA WAIVER PROVISION; (G) TENANT IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AGREEING TO THIS DTPA WAIVER PROVISION AND CONSIDERS IT BINDING AND ENFORCEABLE; AND (H) TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LANDLORD WOULD NOT ENTER INTO THIS LEASE FOR THE SAME CONSIDERATION OR UPON THE SAME TERMS BUT FOR THE INCLUSION OF THIS DTPA WAIVER PROVISION IN THIS LEASE.

(t) This Lease may be executed in multiple counterparts, including by fax, electronic mail and other electronic means, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute a single instrument.

(u) If Tenant is comprised of more than one party, each such party shall be jointly and severally liable for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Notices, payments and agreements given or made by, with or to any one person or entity shall be deemed to have been given or made by, with and to all of them.

(v) TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO PROTEST THE APPRAISED VALUE OF THE PROPERTY OR TO APPEAL THE SAME AND ALL RIGHTS TO RECEIVE NOTICES OF REAPPRAISALS AS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 41.413 AND 42.015 OF THE TEXAS TAX CODE.

(w) All agreements between Landlord and Tenant, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount contracted for, charged or received by Landlord for the use, forbearance or retention of money hereunder or otherwise exceed the maximum amount which Landlord is legally entitled to contract for, charge or collect under the applicable state or federal law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be automatically reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance Landlord shall ever receive as interest or otherwise an amount in excess of the maximum that can be legally collected, then such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of Rent hereunder, and if such amount which would be excessive interest exceeds such Rent, then such additional amount shall be refunded to Tenant.

(y) Tenant shall cause CBG Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”) to execute and deliver to Landlord a separate Guaranty of this Lease in the form of EXHIBIT K on the date Tenant has signed this Lease.
