ARTICLE 2. PREMISES, TERM AND COMMENCEMENT DATE

Landlord hereby leases and demises to Tenant and Tenant hereby takes and leases from Landlord that certain space identified in Article 1 and shown on a plan attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Premises”) for a term (the “Term”) commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date set forth in Article 1, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, subject to the provisions herein contained. The Commencement Date set forth in Article 1 shall be advanced to such earlier date as Tenant commences occupancy of the Premises for the conduct of its business. The Commencement Date is subject to extension as is provided in Paragraph 4 of Exhibit B attached hereto. The actual Commencement Date and the actual Expiration Date shall be confirmed by execution of the Commencement Date Confirmation in the form as set forth in Exhibit E. If Landlord delays delivering possession of the Premises or substantial completion of any Landlord’s Work under Exhibit B, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, and Landlord shall have no liability for loss or damage resulting therefrom.

ARTICLE 3. RENT

A. Monthly Rent. Tenant shall pay Monthly Rent in advance on or before the first day of each month of the Term. If the Term shall commence on a day other than the first day of a month, the Monthly Rent for the first partial month shall be prorated on a per diem basis. Upon its execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay the installment of Monthly Rent owing for the first full month of the Term and a prorated Monthly Rent for any partial month which may precede it.

B. Additional Rent. All costs and expenses which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay and any other sum payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, including, without limitation, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of increases in Taxes and Operating Expenses under Article 4, shall be deemed Additional Rent.

C. Rent. Monthly Rent, Additional Rent, Taxes and Operating Expenses and any other amounts which Tenant is or becomes obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease are herein referred to collectively as “Rent”, and all remedies applicable to the nonpayment of Rent shall be applicable thereto. Landlord may apply payments received from Tenant to any obligations of Tenant then accrued, without regard to such obligations as may be designated by Tenant.

D. Place of Payment, Late Charge, Default Interest. Rent and other charges required to be paid under this Lease, no matter how described, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord at the Building Manager’s address listed in Article 1, or to such other person and/or address as Landlord may designate in writing, without any prior notice or demand therefor and without deduction or set-off or counterclaim and without relief from any valuation or appraisement Laws. In the event Tenant fails to pay Rent due under this Lease within ten (10) days of due date of

2

said Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge of ten percent (10%) on the amount overdue. Any Rent not paid when due shall also bear interest at the Default Rate.

ARTICLE 4. TAXES AND OPERATING EXPENSES

A. Payment of Taxes and Operating Expenses. It is agreed that during each Lease Year beginning with the first month of 2006 and each month thereafter during the Term, or any extension thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, at the same time as Monthly Rent is paid, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Landlord’s estimate (as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion) of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any projected increase in the Taxes or Operating Expenses for the particular Lease Year in excess of the Tax Base or Operating Expenses Base, as the case may be (the “Estimated Escalation Increase”). A final adjustment (the “Escalation Reconciliation”) shall be made between the parties as soon as practicable following the end of each Lease Year comparing the actual increase in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes or Operating Expenses in excess of the Tax Base or the Operating Expenses Base, as the case may be, to the Estimated Escalation Increase.

As soon as practicable following the end of each Lease Year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement setting forth the Estimated Escalation Increase for the following Lease Year. Beginning with said statement for the second Lease Year, it shall also set forth the Escalation Reconciliation for the Lease Year just completed. To the extent that the Escalation Reconciliation is different from the Estimated Escalation Increase upon which Tenant paid Rent during the Lease Year just completed, Tenant shall pay Landlord the difference in cash within thirty (30) days following receipt by Tenant of such statement from Landlord, or receive a credit on future Rent owing hereunder (or cash if there is no future Rent owing hereunder) as the case may be. Until Tenant receives such statement, Additional Rent for the new Lease Year shall continue to be paid at the rate being paid for the particular Lease Year just completed, but Tenant shall commence payment to Landlord of the monthly installment of Additional Rent on the basis of said statement beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which Tenant receives such statement. In addition to the above, if, during any particular Lease Year, there is a change in the information on which Landlord based the estimate upon which Tenant is then making its payment of Estimated Escalation Increase so that such Estimated Escalation Increase furnished to Tenant is no longer accurate, Landlord shall be permitted to revise such Estimated Escalation Increase by notifying Tenant, and there shall be such adjustments made in the Additional Rent on the first day of the month following the serving of such statement on Tenant as shall be necessary by either increasing or decreasing, as the case may be, the amount of Additional Rent then being paid by Tenant for the balance of the Lease Year (but in no event shall any such decrease result in a reduction of Monthly Rent). Landlord’s and Tenant’s responsibilities with respect to the Additional Rent described herein shall survive the expiration or early termination of the Term.

If the Building is not fully occupied during any particular Lease Year, Landlord may adjust those Operating Expenses which are affected by Building occupancy for the particular Lease Year, or portion thereof, as the case may be, to reflect an occupancy of not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the Building.

B. Disputes Over Taxes or Operating Expenses. If Tenant disputes the amount of an Escalation Reconciliation or an Estimated Escalation Increase, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such dispute within thirty (30) days after Landlord advises Tenant of such adjustment. Tenant’s failure to give such notice shall constitute a waiver of its right to dispute the amounts so determined. If Tenant timely objects, Tenant shall have the right to engage its own accountants (“Tenant’s Accountants”) for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the Escalation Reconciliation statement in dispute, or the reasonableness of the Estimated Escalation statement in dispute. If Tenant’s Accountants determine that an error has been made, Landlord and Tenant’s Accountants shall endeavor to agree upon the matter, failing which Landlord and Tenant’s Accountants shall jointly select an independent certified public accounting firm (the “Independent Accountant”) which firm shall conclusively determine whether the Escalation Reconciliation is accurate or whether the Estimated Escalation Increase is reasonable, and if not, what amount is accurate or reasonable, as the case may be. Both parties shall be bound by such determination. If Tenant’s Accountants do not participate in choosing the Independent Accountant within 20 days after written notice by Landlord, then Landlord’s determination of the accuracy of the Escalation Reconciliation statement or the reasonableness of the Estimated Escalation Increase Statement, as the case may be, shall be conclusive and Tenant shall be bound thereby. All costs incurred by Tenant in obtaining Tenant’s Accountants and the cost of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Tenant unless Tenant’s Accountants disclose an error, acknowledged by Landlord (or found to have conclusively occurred by the Independent Accountant), of more than

3

ten percent (10%) in the computation of the total amount of Taxes or Operating Expenses as set forth in the statement submitted by Landlord with respect to the matter in dispute; in which event Landlord shall pay the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in obtaining such audits. Tenant shall continue to timely pay Landlord the amount of the prior year’s Additional Rent determined to be incorrect as aforesaid until the parties have concurred as to the appropriate Additional Rent or have deemed to be bound by the determination of the Independent Accountant in accordance with the preceding terms. Landlord’s delay in submitting any statement contemplated herein for any Lease Year shall not affect the provisions of this paragraph, nor constitute a waiver of Landlord’s rights as set forth herein for said Lease Year or any subsequent Lease Years during the Term or any extensions thereof.

ARTICLE 5. LANDLORD’S WORK, TENANT’S WORK, ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS

A. Landlord’s Work. Landlord shall construct the Premises in accordance with Landlord’s obligations as set forth in the work letter agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B, and hereinafter referred to as “Landlord’s Work.”

B. Tenant’s Work. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall perform and complete all improvements to the Premises (other than Landlord’s Work) which Tenant desires to perform for Tenant’s initial occupancy (herein called “Tenant’s Work”). Tenant shall complete all of Tenant’s Work in good and workmanlike manner, fully paid for and free from liens, in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord. Subject to Paragraph 7 of Exhibit B, Tenant shall also have the right prior to the scheduled Commencement Date to come onto the Premises to install its fixtures and prepare the Premises for the operation of Tenant’s business. Notwithstanding the fact that foregoing activities by Tenant may occur prior to the scheduled Commencement Date, Tenant agrees that all of Tenant’s obligations provided for in this Lease shall apply during such period with the exception of any obligation to pay Rent.

C. Alterations. Except as provided in the immediately preceding subparagraph B, Tenant shall make no alterations or additions to the Premises without the prior written consent of the Landlord, which consent Landlord may grant or withhold in its sole discretion. If Landlord performs such alterations, additions or Tenant’s Work, as specified in Article 5 herein, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, the cost thereof plus ten percent (10%) as reimbursement for Landlord’s overhead. Each payment shall be made to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord. This provision shall include, but not be limited to, any and all additional work requested by Tenant to be performed by Landlord.

D. Liens. Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable Laws) of the commencement of any Tenant’s Work, to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording notices of non-responsibility. Tenant will not cause or permit any mechanic’s, materialman’s or similar liens or encumbrances to be filed or exist against the Premises or the Building or Tenant’s interest in this Lease in connection with work done under this Article or in connection with any other work performed by Tenant. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within twenty (20) days from the date of their existence. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may pay the amount or take such other action as Landlord deems necessary to remove any such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible to investigate the validity thereof. The amounts so paid and costs incurred by Landlord shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and payable in full upon demand.

E. Compliance with ADA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that responsibility for compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”) shall be allocated as follows: (i) Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of Title III of the ADA for all Common Areas, including exterior and interior areas of the Building not included within the Premises or the premises of other tenants; (ii) Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of Title III of the ADA for any construction, renovations, alterations and repairs made within the Premises if such construction, renovations, alterations or repairs are made by Landlord for the purpose of improving the Building generally or are done as Landlord’s Work and the plans and specifications for the Landlord’s Work were prepared by Landlord’s architect or space planner and were not provided by Tenant’s architect or space planner; (iii) Tenant shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of Title III of the ADA for any construction, renovations, alterations and repairs made within the Premises if such construction, renovations, alterations and repairs are made by Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors, at the direction of Tenant or done pursuant to plans and specifications prepared or provided by Tenant or Tenant’s architect or space planner.

ARTICLE 6. USE

A. Use. Tenant shall use the Premises for general office purposes, and for no other purpose whatsoever, subject to and in compliance with all other provisions of this Lease, including without limitation the Building’s Rules and Regulations attached as Exhibit D hereto. Tenant and its invitees shall also have the non-exclusive right, along with other tenants of the Building and others authorized by Landlord, to use the Common Areas subject to such rules and regulations as Landlord in its discretion may impose from time to time.

B. Restrictions. Tenant shall not at any time use or occupy, or suffer or permit anyone to use or occupy, the Premises or do or permit anything to be done in the Premises which: (a) causes or is liable to cause injury to persons, to the Building or its equipment, facilities or systems; (b) impairs the character, reputation or appearance of the Building as a first class office building; (c) impairs the proper and economic maintenance, operation and repair of the Building or its equipment, facilities or systems; or (d) annoys or inconveniences other tenants or occupants of the Building.

C. Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall keep and maintain the Premises, its use thereof and its business in compliance with all Laws. Tenant shall comply with all Laws relating to the Premises and Tenant’s use thereof, including without limitation, Laws requiring the Premises to be closed on Sundays or any other days or hours and Laws in connection with the health, safety and building codes, and any permit or license requirements. Landlord makes no representation that the Premises are suitable for Tenant’s purposes.

ARTICLE 7. SERVICES

A. Climate Control. Landlord shall furnish heat or air conditioning to the Premises during Normal Business Hours of Building as set forth in Article 1 as required in Landlord’s reasonable judgment for the comfortable use and occupation of the Premises. If Tenant requires heat or air conditioning at any other time, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to furnish such service upon reasonable notice from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s charges therefor on demand. Landlord’s current charge for non-Normal Business Hours of operation is fifty dollars ($50.00) per hour per floor.

The performance by Landlord of its obligations under this Article is subject to Tenant’s compliance with the terms of this Lease including any connected electrical load established by Landlord. Tenant shall not use the Premises or any part thereof in a manner exceeding the heating, ventilating or air-conditioning (“HVAC”) design conditions (including any occupancy or connected electrical load conditions), including the rearrangement of partitioning which may interfere with the normal operation of the HVAC equipment, or the use of computer or data processing machines or other machines or equipment in excess of that normally required for a standard office use of the Premises. If any such use requires changes in the HVAC or plumbing systems or controls servicing the Premises or portions thereof in order to provide comfortable occupancy, such changes may be made by Landlord at Tenant’s expense and Tenant agrees to promptly pay any such amount to Landlord as Additional Rent.

B. Elevator Service. If the Building is equipped with elevators, Landlord, during Normal Business Hours of Building, shall furnish elevator service to Tenant to be used in common with others. At least one elevator shall remain in service during all other hours. Landlord may designate a specific elevator for use as a service elevator.

C. Janitorial Services. Landlord shall provide janitorial and cleaning services to the Premises, substantially as described in Exhibit D attached hereto. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord for (i) any cleaning of the Premises in excess of the specifications in Exhibit D for any reason including, without limitation, cleaning required because of (A) misuse or neglect on the part of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, contractors, invitees, employees and customers, (B) the use of portions of the Premises for special purposes requiring greater or more difficult cleaning work than office areas, (C) interior glass partitions or unusual quantities of interior glass surfaces, and (D) non-building standard materials or finishes installed by Tenant or at its request; and (ii) removal from the Premises of any refuse and rubbish of Tenant in excess of that ordinarily accumulated in general office occupancy or at times other than Landlord’s standard cleaning times.

5

D. Water and Electricity. Landlord shall make available domestic water in reasonable quantities to the common areas of the Building (and to the Premises if so designated in Exhibit B) and cause electric service sufficient for lighting the Premises and for the operation of Ordinary Office Equipment to be delivered to the Premises. “Ordinary Office Equipment” shall mean office equipment wired for 120 volt electric service and rated and using less than 6 amperes or 750 xxxxx of electric current or other office equipment approved by Landlord in writing. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to make any replacement of lamps, fluorescent tubes and lamp ballasts in the Premises. Landlord may adopt a system of relamping and ballast replacement periodically on a group basis in accordance with good management practice. Tenant’s use of electric energy in the Premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the risers, piping, electrical conductors and other equipment in or serving the Premises. In order to insure that such capacity is not exceeded and to avert any possible adverse effect upon the Building’s electric system, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent in each instance, connect appliances or heavy duty equipment, other than ordinary office equipment, to the Building’s electric system or make any alteration or addition to the Building’s electric system. Should Landlord grant its consent in writing, all additional risers, piping and electrical conductors or other equipment therefor shall be provided by Landlord and the cost thereof shall be paid by Tenant within 10 days of Landlord’s demand therefor. As a condition to granting such consent, Landlord may require Tenant to agree to an increase in Monthly Rent to offset the expected cost to Landlord of such additional service, that is, the cost of the additional electric energy to be made available to Tenant based upon the estimated additional capacity of such additional risers, piping and electrical conductors or other equipment. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree thereon, such cost shall be determined by an independent electrical engineer, to be selected by Landlord and paid equally by both parties.

E. Separate Meters. If the Premises are separately metered for any utility, Tenant shall pay a utility charge to Landlord (or directly to the utility company, if possible) based upon the Tenant’s actual consumption as measured by the meter. Landlord also reserves the right to install separate meters for the Premises to register the usage of all or any one of the utilities and in such event Tenant shall pay for the cost of utility usage as metered to the Premises and which is in excess of the usage reasonably anticipated by Landlord for normal office usage of the Premises. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of installation of meters if Tenant’s actual usage exceeds the anticipated usage level by more than 10 percent. In any event, Landlord may require Tenant to reduce its consumption to the anticipated usage level. The term “utility” for purposes hereof may refer to but is not limited to electricity, gas, water, sewer, steam, fire protection system, telephone or other communication or alarm service, as well as HVAC, and all taxes or other charges thereon.

F. Interruptions. Landlord does not warrant that any of the services referred to above, or any other services which Landlord may supply, will be free from interruption and Tenant acknowledges that any one or more of such services may be suspended by reason of accident, repairs, inspections, alterations or improvements necessary to be made, or by strikes or lockouts, or by reason of operation of law, or causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Any interruption or discontinuance of service shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, nor render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages by abatement of the Rent or otherwise, nor relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall however, exercise reasonable diligence to restore any service so interrupted.

G. Utilities Provided by Tenant. Tenant shall (i) make application in Tenant’s own name for all utilities not provided by Landlord, (ii) comply with all utility company regulations for such utilities, including requirements for the installation of meters, and (iii) obtain such utilities directly from, and pay for the same when due directly to, the applicable utility company. The term “utilities” for purposes hereof shall include but not be limited to electricity, gas, water, sewer, steam, fire protection, telephone and other communication and alarm services, as well as HVAC, and all taxes or other charges thereon. Tenant shall install and connect all equipment and lines required to supply such utilities to the extent not already available at or serving the Premises, or at Landlord’s option shall repair, alter or replace any such existing items. Tenant shall maintain, repair and replace all such items, operate the same, and keep the same in good working order and condition. Tenant shall not install any equipment or fixtures, or use the same, so as to exceed the safe and lawful capacity of any utility equipment or lines serving the same. The installation, alteration, replacement or connection of any utility equipment and lines shall be subject to the requirements for alterations of the Premises set forth in Article 5. Tenant shall ensure that all Tenant’s HVAC equipment, is installed and operated at all times in a manner to prevent roof leaks, damage, or noise due to vibrations or improper installation, maintenance or operation.

On or before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord and its Building Manager, certificates of insurance evidencing the aforesaid insurance coverage, including naming Landlord, 9801 Westchase, Ltd., and Landlord’s Building Manager as additional insureds. Renewal certificates must be furnished to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such insurance policies showing the above coverage to be in full force and effect.

All such insurance shall provide that it cannot be canceled except upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall comply with all rules and directives of any insurance board, company or agency determining rates of hazard coverage for the Premises, including but not limited to the installation of any equipment and/or the correction of any condition necessary to prevent any increase in such rates.

B. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each agree that neither Landlord nor Tenant will have any claim against the other for any loss, damage or injury which is covered by insurance carried by either party and for which recovery from such insurer is made, notwithstanding the negligence of either party in causing the loss. This release shall be valid only if the insurance policy in question permits waiver of subrogation or if the insurer agrees in writing that such waiver of subrogation will not affect coverage under said policy. Each party agrees to use its best efforts to obtain such an agreement from its insurer if the policy does not expressly permit a waiver of subrogation.

C. Waiver of Claims. Except for claims arising from Landlord’s willful misconduct that are not covered by Tenant’s insurance required hereunder, Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for injury or death to persons, damage to property or to any other interest of Tenant sustained by Tenant or any party claiming, through Tenant resulting from: (i) any occurrence in or upon the Premises, (ii) leaking of roofs, bursting, stoppage or leaking of water, gas, sewer or steam pipes or equipment, including sprinklers, (iii) wind, rain, snow, ice, flooding, freezing, fire, explosion, earthquake, excessive heat or cold, or other casualty, (iv) the Building, the Premises, or the operating and mechanical systems or equipment of the Building, being defective, or failing, and (v) vandalism, malicious mischief, theft or other acts or omissions of any other parties including without limitation, other tenants, contractors and invitees at the Building. Tenant agrees that Tenant’s property loss risks shall be borne by its insurance, and Tenant agrees to look solely to and seek recovery only from its insurance carriers in the event of such losses. For purposes hereof, any deductible amount shall be treated as though it were recoverable under such policies.

ARTICLE 9. INDEMNIFICATION

Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and its agents, successors and assigns, including its Building Manager, from and against all injury, loss, costs, expenses, claims or damage (including attorney’s fees and disbursements) to any person or property arising from, related to, or in connection with any use or occupancy of the Premises by or any act or omission (including, without limitation, construction and repair of the Premises arising out of Tenant’s Work or subsequent work) of Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, customers, and invitees, which indemnity extends to any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Lease. This indemnification shall survive the expiration or termination of the Term.

Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damage by or from any act or negligence of any co-tenant or other occupant of the Building, or by any owner or occupants of adjoining or contiguous property. Landlord shall not be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting in whole or in part from the criminal activities or

7

willful misconduct of others. To the extent not covered by all risk property insurance, Tenant agrees to pay for all damage to the Building, as well as all damage to persons or property of other tenants or occupants thereof, caused by the negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, employees, customers and invitees. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to relieve Landlord from liability for any personal injury resulting from its gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Any liability of Landlord under this Lease shall not apply to any of Landlord’s General and Limited Partners, Officers and/or employees.

ARTICLE 10. CASUALTY DAMAGE

Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord or the Building Manager of any fire or other casualty to the Premises or to the extent it knows of damage, to the Building. In the event the Premises or any substantial part of the Building is wholly or partially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty which is covered by Landlord’s insurance, Landlord will proceed to restore the same to substantially the same condition existing immediately prior to such damage or destruction unless such damage or destruction is incapable of repair or restoration within one hundred eighty (180) days, in which event Landlord may, at Landlord’s option and by written notice given to Tenant within sixty (60) days of such damage or destruction, declare this Lease terminated as of the happening of such damage or destruction. If in Landlord’s sole opinion the net insurance proceeds recovered by reason of the damage or destruction will not be adequate to complete the restoration of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and all unaccrued obligations of the parties hereto by sending a notice of such termination to Tenant. To the extent after fire or other casualty that Tenant shall be deprived of the use and occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof as a result of any such damage, destruction or the repair thereof, provided that Tenant did not cause the fire or other casualty, Tenant shall be relieved of the same ratable portion of the Monthly Rent hereunder as the amount of damaged or useless space in the Premises bears to the rentable square footage of the Premises until such time as the Premises may be restored. Landlord shall reasonably determine the amount of damaged or useless space and the square footage of the Premises referenced in the prior sentence.

ARTICLE 11. CONDEMNATION

In the event of a condemnation or taking of the entire Premises by a public or quasi-public authority, this Lease shall terminate as of the date title vests in the public or quasi-public authority. In the event of a taking or condemnation of fifteen percent (15%) or more (but less than the whole) of the Building and without regard to whether the Premises are part of such taking or condemnation, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days of Landlord receiving notice of such condemnation. All compensation awarded for any condemnation shall be the property of Landlord, whether such damages shall be awarded as a compensation for diminution in the value of the leasehold or to the fee of the Premises, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to any and all such compensation; provided, however, that in the event this Lease is terminated, Tenant shall be entitled to make a separate claim for the taking of Tenant’s personal property (including fixtures paid for by Tenant), and for costs of moving. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any condemnation award to Tenant shall be available only to the extent such award is payable separately to Tenant and does not diminish the award available to Landlord or any Lender of Landlord and such award shall be limited to the amount of Rent actually paid by Tenant to Landlord for the period of time for which the award is given. Any additional portion of such award shall belong to Landlord.

ARTICLE 12. REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

A. Tenant’s Obligations.  Tenant shall keep the Premises in good working order, repair (and in compliance with all Laws now or hereafter adopted) and condition (which condition shall be neat, clean and sanitary, and free of pests and rodents), and shall make all necessary non-structural repairs thereto and any repairs to non-Building standard mechanical, HVAC (including supplemental and package AC units), electrical and plumbing systems or components in or serving the Premises, including, without limitation, private restroom plumbing fixtures and equipment and all appliances in the kitchen/breakroom.

B. Landlord’s Obligations. Landlord shall make all necessary structural repairs to the Building and any necessary repairs to the Building standard mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems in or servicing the Premises (the cost of which shall be included in Operating Expenses under Article 4), excluding repairs required to be made by Tenant pursuant to this Article. Landlord shall have no responsibility to make any repairs unless and until Landlord receives written notice of the need for such repair. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance is received by Landlord from Tenant. Landlord shall make every reasonable effort to perform all such repairs or maintenance in such a manner (in its judgment) so as to cause minimum interference with Tenant and the Premises but Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any interruption or loss of business pertaining to such activities. Landlord shall have the right to require that any damage caused by the willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, contractors, employees, invitees or customers, be paid for and performed by the Tenant (without limiting Landlord’s other remedies herein).

C. Signs and Obstructions. Tenant shall not obstruct or permit the obstruction of light, halls, Common Areas, roofs, parapets, stairways or entrances to the Building or the Premises and will not affix, paint, erect or inscribe any sign, projection, awning, signal or advertisement of any kind to any part of the Building or the Premises, including the inside or outside of the windows or doors, without the written consent of Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to withdraw such consent at any time and to require Tenant to remove any sign, projection, awning, signal or advertisement to be affixed to the Building or the Premises. If such work is done by Tenant through any person, firm or corporation not designated by Landlord, or without the express written consent of Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to remove such signs, projections, awnings, signals or advertisements without being liable to the Tenant by reason thereof and to charge the cost of such removal to Tenant as Additional Rent, payable within ten (10) days of Landlord’s demand therefor.

D. Outside Services. Tenant shall not permit, except by Landlord or a person or company reasonably satisfactory to and approved by Landlord: (i) the extermination of vermin in, on or about the Premises; (ii) the servicing of heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment; (iii) the servicing or addition thereof of any electrical component; (iv) the collection of rubbish and trash other than in compliance with local government health requirements and in accordance with the rules and regulations established by Landlord, which shall minimally provide that Tenant’s rubbish and trash shall be kept in containers located so as not to be visible to members of the public and in a sanitary and neat condition; or (v) window cleaning, janitorial services or similar work in the Premises.

ARTICLE 13. INSPECTION OF PREMISES

Tenant shall permit Landlord, the Building Manager and its authorized representatives to enter the Premises to show the Premises during Normal Business Hours of Building and at other reasonable times to inspect the Premises and to make such repairs, improvements, alterations or additions in the Premises or in the Building of which they are a part as Landlord may deem necessary or appropriate.

ARTICLE 14. SURRENDER OF PREMISES

Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises, broom clean, in good order and condition, normal wear and tear and damage by fire and other casualty excepted. All leasehold improvements and other fixtures, such as light fixtures and HVAC equipment, wall coverings, carpeting and drapes, in or serving the Premises, whether installed by Tenant or Landlord, shall be Landlord’s property and shall remain, all without compensation, allowance or credit to Tenant. Any property not removed shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and may be retained or disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense free of any and all claims of Tenant, as Landlord shall desire. All property not removed from the Premises by Tenant may be handled or stored by Landlord at Tenant’s expense and Landlord shall not be liable for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. At Landlord’s option all or part of such property may be conclusively deemed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord as if by xxxx of sale without payment by Landlord. Tenant hereby waives

9

to the maximum extent allowable the benefit of all Laws now or hereafter in force in the state in which the Building is located or elsewhere exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.

ARTICLE 15. HOLDING OVER

Tenant shall pay Landlord 150% of the amount of Rent then applicable prorated on a per diem basis for each day Tenant shall retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof after expiration or earlier termination of the Term, together with all damages sustained by Landlord on account thereof. The foregoing provisions shall not serve as permission for Tenant to hold-over, nor serve to extend the Term (although Tenant shall remain bound to comply with all provisions of this Lease until Tenant vacates the Premises) and Landlord shall have the right at any time thereafter to enter and possess the Premises and remove all property and persons therefrom.

ARTICLE 16. SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, list the Premises or any part thereof as available for assignment or sublease with any broker or agent or otherwise advertise, post, communicate or solicit prospective assignees or subtenants through any direct or indirect means, nor assign this Lease or any interest thereunder, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of Premises by any party other than Tenant, or mortgage, collaterally assign or grant a security interest in this Lease. In the event that during the Term, Tenant desires to assign or sublease and introduces Landlord to a proposed assignee, sublessee or replacement tenant for Tenant, which assignee, sublessee or replacement tenant has a good reputation, is of financial strength at least equal to that of Tenant (as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion) and has a use for Premises and a number of employees reasonably consistent with that of Tenant’s operation, Landlord shall consider such assignee, sublessee or replacement tenant and notify Tenant with reasonable promptness as to Landlord’s choice, at Landlord’s sole discretion, of the following:

(a) That Landlord consents to a subleasing of the Premises or assignment of this Lease to such assignee or sublessee provided that Tenant shall remain fully liable for all of its obligations and liabilities under this Lease and provided further that Landlord shall be entitled to any profit obtained by Tenant from such subletting or assignment; or

(b) That upon such replacement tenant’s entering into a mutually satisfactory new lease for the Premises with Landlord, then Tenant shall be released from all further obligations and liabilities under this Lease (excepting only any unpaid rentals or any unperformed covenants then past due under this Lease or any guarantee by Tenant of replacement tenant’s obligations); or

(c) That Landlord declines to consent to such sublease or assignment due to insufficient or unsatisfactory documentation furnished to Landlord to establish Tenant’s reputation, financial strength and proposed use of and operations upon Premises; or

(d) That Landlord elects to cancel this Lease and recapture the Premises (in the case of an assignment) or that Landlord elects to cancel this Lease as to the portion thereof that Tenant had wished to sublease. In either such event Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises, or the portion thereof which is the subject of Tenant’s request on the date set forth in a notice from Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease relating to the surrender of the Premises. If this Lease shall be canceled as to a portion of the Premises only, the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be abated proportionately according to the ratio that the area of the portion of the Premises surrendered (as computed by Landlord) bears to the area of the Premises immediately prior to such surrender. If Landlord shall cancel this Lease, Landlord may relet the Premises, or the applicable portion of the Premises, to any other party (including, without limitation, the proposed assignee, sublessee or replacement tenant), without any liability to Tenant.

In no case may Tenant assign any options to sublessee(s) or assignee(s) hereunder, all such options being deemed personal to Tenant only. Consent by Landlord hereunder shall in no way operate as a waiver by Landlord of, or to release or discharge Tenant from, any liability under this Lease or be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining Landlord’s consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, transfer, use or occupancy.

10

ARTICLE 17. SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND MORTGAGEE PROTECTION

This Lease is subject and subordinate to all Mortgages now or hereafter placed upon the Building, and all other encumbrances and matters of public record applicable to the Building, including without limitation, any reciprocal easement or operating agreements, covenants, conditions and restrictions and Tenant shall not act or permit the Premises to be operated in violation thereof. If any foreclosure or power of sale proceedings are initiated by any Lender or a deed in lieu is granted (or if any ground lease is terminated), Tenant agrees, upon written request of any such Lender or any purchaser at such foreclosure sale, to attorn and pay Rent to such party and to execute and deliver any instruments necessary or appropriate to evidence or effectuate such attornment. In the event of attornment, no Lender shall be: (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord, or subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord (prior to such Lender becoming Landlord under such attornment), (ii) liable for any security deposit or bound by any prepaid Rent not actually received by such Lender, or (iii) bound by any future modification of this Lease not consented to by such Lender. Any Lender may elect to make this Lease prior to the lien of its Mortgage, and if the Lender under any prior Mortgage shall require, this Lease shall be prior to any subordinate Mortgage; such elections shall be effective upon written notice to Tenant. Tenant agrees to give any Lender by certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of any notice of default served by Tenant upon Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of an assignment of leases, or otherwise) of the name and address of such Lender. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time permitted Landlord for cure under this Lease, any such Lender whose address has been so provided to Tenant shall have an additional period of thirty (30) days in which to cure (or such additional time as may be required due to causes beyond such Lender’s control, including time to obtain possession of the Building by power of sale or judicial action or deed in lieu of foreclosure). The provisions of this Article shall be self-operative; provided, however, Tenant shall execute such documentation as Landlord or any Lender may request from time to time in order to confirm the matters set forth in this Article in recordable form. To the extent not expressly prohibited by Law, Tenant waives the provisions of any Law now or hereafter adopted which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease or Tenant’s obligations hereunder if such foreclosure or power of sale proceedings are initiated, prosecuted or completed.

ARTICLE 18. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

Tenant shall from time to time, upon written request by Landlord or Lender, deliver to Landlord or Lender, within ten (10) days after receipt of such request, a statement in writing certifying: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, identifying such modifications and certifying that the Lease, as modified, is in full force and effect); (ii) the dates to which Rent has been paid; (iii) that Landlord is not in default under any provision of this Lease (or if Landlord is in default, specifying each such default); and (iv) the address to which notices to Tenant shall be sent; it being understood that any such statement so delivered may be relied upon in connection with any lease, mortgage or transfer.

Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that: (i) this Lease is in full force and effect and not modified except as Landlord may represent; (ii) not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance; (iii) there are no defaults by Landlord; and (iv) notices to Tenant shall be sent to Tenant’s Address as set forth in Article 1 of this Lease. Notwithstanding the presumptions of this Article, Tenant shall not be relieved of its obligation to deliver said statement.

ARTICLE 19. DEFAULTS

If Tenant: (i) fails to pay when due any installment or other payment of Rent, or to keep in effect any insurance required to be maintained; or (ii) vacates or abandons the Premises; or (iii) becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a voluntary bankruptcy or an involuntary petition in bankruptcy is filed against Tenant which petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of its filing (or any of the events described in this clause (iii) occurs with respect to any guarantor of this Lease); or (iv) fails to perform or observe any of the other covenants, conditions or agreements contained herein on Tenant’s part to be kept or performed and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice thereof given by or on behalf of Landlord; or (v) if the interest of Tenant under this Lease shall be offered for sale or sold under execution or other legal process or if Tenant makes any

11

transfer, assignment, conveyance, sale, pledge, disposition of all or a substantial portion of Tenant’s property, then any such event or conduct shall constitute a “default” hereunder.

If Tenant shall file a voluntary petition pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as the same may be from time to time be amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”), or take the benefit of any insolvency act or be dissolved, or if an involuntary petition be filed against Tenant pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code and said petition is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after such filing, or if a receiver shall be appointed for its business or its assets and the appointment of such receiver is not vacated within thirty (30) days after such appointment, or if it shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, then Landlord shall have all of the rights provided for in the event of nonpayment of the Rent.

If any alleged default on the part of Landlord hereunder occurs, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord in the manner herein set forth and shall afford Landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure any such default. In addition, Tenant shall send notice of such default by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to the holder of any Mortgage whose address Tenant has been notified of in writing, and shall afford such Mortgage holder a reasonable opportunity to cure any alleged default on Landlord’s behalf. In no event will Landlord be responsible for any damages incurred by Tenant, including but not limited to, lost profits or interruption of business as a result of any alleged default by Landlord hereunder.

ARTICLE 20. REMEDIES OF LANDLORD

The remedies provided Landlord under this Lease are cumulative.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any default, Landlord may serve notice on Tenant that the Term and the estate hereby vested in Tenant and any and all other rights of Tenant hereunder shall cease on the date specified in such notice and on the specified date this Lease shall cease and expire as fully and with the effect as if the Term had expired for passage of time.

(b) Without terminating this Lease in case of a default or if this Lease shall be terminated for default as provided herein, Landlord may re-enter the Premises, remove Tenant, or cause Tenant to be removed from the Premises in such manner as Landlord may deem advisable, with or without legal process, and using such reasonable force as may be necessary. In the event of re-entry without terminating this Lease, Tenant shall continue to be liable for all Rents and other charges accruing or coming due under this Lease.

(ii) Landlord, without any obligation to do so, may relet the Premises or any part thereof for a term or terms which may at Landlord’s option be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and may grant such concessions in reletting as Landlord, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, deems desirable. In connection with such reletting, Tenant shall be liable for all costs of the reletting including, without limitation, rent concessions, leasing commissions, legal fees and alteration and remodeling costs; and

(iii) If Landlord shall have terminated this Lease, Tenant shall also be liable to Landlord for all damages provided for in law and under this Lease resulting from Tenant’s breach including, without limitation, the difference between the aggregate rentals reserved under the terms of this Lease for the balance of the Term together with all other sums payable hereunder as Rent for the balance of the Term, less the fair rental value of the Premises for that period determined as of the date of such termination. For purposes of this paragraph, Tenant shall be deemed to include any guarantor or surety of the Lease.

12

(d) Tenant hereby waives all right to trial by jury in any claim, action, proceeding or counterclaim by either Landlord or Tenant against each other or any matter arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, and/or Tenant’s use or occupancy or the Premises.

(e) Tenant shall pay upon demand, all costs and expenses, including court costs and reasonable legal fees, incurred by Landlord in enforcing Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or resulting from Tenant’s default under this Lease.

ARTICLE 21. QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that so long as Tenant pays the Rent and observes and performs all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this Lease, and Tenant’s possession will not be disturbed by anyone claiming by, through, or under Landlord.

ARTICLE 22. ACCORD AND SATISFACTION

No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of an amount less than full payment of Rent then due and payable shall be deemed to be other than on account of the Rent then due and payable, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter 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 for in this Lease or available at law or in equity.

ARTICLE 23. SECURITY DEPOSIT

(a) that the Security Deposit or any portion thereof may be applied to the curing of any default that may exist, without prejudice to any other remedy or remedies which the Landlord may have on account thereof, and upon such application Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the amount so applied which shall be added to the Security Deposit so the same will be restored to its original amount;

(b) that should the Premises be conveyed by Landlord, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof may be turned over to Landlord’s grantee, and if the same be turned over as aforesaid, Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any and all liability with respect to the Security Deposit and its application or return, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such grantee for such application or return;

(c) that Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with other funds and shall not be obligated to pay Tenant any interest;

Landlord, at its sole election, may designate the types and locations of parking spaces within the parking facilities which Tenant shall be allowed to use. Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s sole election, to change said types and locations from time to time; provided, however, such designation shall be uniformly applied and shall not unfairly favor any tenant in the Building.

(b) Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord the Parking Fee, if any, shown in Article 1, as Additional Rent, payable monthly in advance with Monthly Rent. If there is a Parking Fee shown in Article 1, then thereafter, and throughout the Term, the parking rate for each type of parking space provided to Tenant hereunder shall be the prevailing parking rate, as Landlord may designate from time to time, at Landlord’s sole election, for each such type of parking space. In addition to the right reserved hereunder by Landlord to designate the parking rate from time to time, Landlord shall have the right to change the parking rate at any time to include therein any amounts levied, assessed, imposed or required to be paid to any governmental authority on account of the parking of motor vehicles, including all sums required to be paid pursuant to transportation controls imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended, or otherwise required to be paid by any governmental authority with respect to the parking, use, or transportation of motor vehicles, or the reduction or control of motor vehicle traffic, or motor vehicle pollution.

14

(c) If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the license plate number, year, make and model of the automobiles entitled to use the parking facilities and if requested by Landlord, such automobiles shall be identified by automobile window stickers provided by Landlord, and only such designated automobiles shall be permitted to use the parking facilities. If Landlord institutes such an identification procedure, Landlord may provide additional parking spaces for use by customers and invitees of Tenant on a daily basis at prevailing parking rates, if any. At Landlord’s sole election, Landlord may make validation stickers available to Tenant for any such additional parking spaces, provided, however, if Landlord makes validation stickers available to any other tenant in the Building, Landlord shall make such validation stickers available to Tenant.

(d) The parking facilities provided for herein are provided solely for the accommodation of Tenant and Landlord assumes no responsibility or liability of any kind whatsoever from whatever cause with respect to the automobile parking areas, including adjoining streets, sidewalks, driveways, property and passageways, or the use thereof by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, customers, agents, contractors or invitees.

ARTICLE 27. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Any clean up, remediation and removal work shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval (except in emergencies), and shall include, without limitation, any testing, investigation, and the preparation and implementation of any remedial action plan required by any governmental body having jurisdiction or reasonably required by Landlord. If Landlord or any Lender or governmental body arranges for any tests or studies showing that this Article has been violated, Tenant shall pay for the costs of such tests. The provisions of this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

If Tenant claims or asserts that Landlord has violated or failed to perform a covenant under this Lease, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance, declaratory judgment or injunction and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any money damages in any action or by way of set off, defense or counterclaim and Tenant hereby specifically waives the right to any money damages or other remedies for any such violation or failure.

WORK LETTER AGREEMENT

Mar. 3, 2005

TO:	Wilshire State Bank
	0000 Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000
	Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000
RE:	Premises located at 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000

Xxxxxxxxx:

Simultaneously with the execution of this Work Letter Agreement, you (“Tenant”) and 9801 Westchase, Ltd. (“Landlord”) are entering into a new Lease (the “Lease”) pertaining to the space referred to above (the “Premises”).

In consideration of the covenants contained in this Work Letter Agreement and in the Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

Tenant’s Plans

1. Tenant desires Landlord to perform certain leasehold improvement work (the “Work”) in the Premises pursuant to the following:

A. Building Standard paint throughout the Premises.

B. Installation of building standard carpet and 4” cove base throughout the Premises.

C. Ensure the mini blinds are in good working condition.

The Work has been approved by Landlord and Tenant but such approval by Landlord shall not constitute any warranty by Landlord to Tenant of the adequacy of the design for Tenant’s intended use of the Premises nor shall Landlord’s approval of the Plan create any liability or responsibility on the part of Landlord for compliance with applicable statutes, ordinances, regulations, laws, codes and industry standards relating to handicap discrimination (including without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act).

Working Drawings

2. If necessary for the performance of the Work, Landlord, at its expense, shall prepare final Working Drawings and specifications for the Work (the “Working Drawings”) based upon and consistent with the Plan. Tenant shall approve the Working Drawings within three (3) days after receipt of same from Landlord. Upon approval by both Landlord and Tenant, the working drawings shall be deemed the Final Drawings.

Performance of the Work

3. Except as hereinafter provided to the contrary, Landlord, at its expense, shall perform the Work shown on the Plan and Working Drawings using (except as may be stated or shown in the Plan or the Working Drawings) building standard materials and quantities (“Building Standards”). Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit or payment from

1

Landlord for any Building Standards or any non-standard Work not utilized by Tenant. Tenant shall pay for any and all additional costs and expenses associated with any above building standard finishes, special/additional work which is not approved prior to the approval of Final Drawings and/or from any delays in the Work occasioned by Tenant.

Substantial Completion

4. Landlord shall cause the Work to be “substantially completed” as soon as reasonably possible, subject to delays described in Article V of the Lease and delays described in Paragraph 5 of this Work Letter Agreement. The Work shall be considered “substantially completed” for all purposes under this Work Letter Agreement and the Lease if and when Landlord’s architect or Manager certifies that the Work has been completed (except for minor finish-out and “punchlist” items) in substantial compliance with the Plans and, if applicable, the Working Drawings, or when Tenant first takes occupancy of the Premises, whichever first occurs. If the Work is delayed for any reason (other than a delay specified in Paragraph 6 below), the Lease shall remain in effect, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant as a result of any delay in occupancy, and the Commencement Date of the Lease shall be extended (subject to Paragraph 5 below) to the date on which the Work is substantially completed or otherwise defined in the Amendment.

Tenant Delays

5. The Commencement Date of the Lease will be the date which is six (6) weeks following the date on which any required building permits are issued (or if no building permits are required for the Work, the date the Lease is fully executed by both parties) if the Work has not been substantially completed on said date by reason of any delay attributable to Tenant, including without limitation:

(i) the failure of Tenant to finalize the Plan and/or Working Drawings as required under Paragraph 1 and 2 above; or

(ii) Tenant’s requirements for special work or materials, finishes, or installations other than the Building Standards which are not readily available; or

(iii) the performance of any other work in the Premises by any person, firm or corporation employed by or on behalf of Tenant, or any failure to complete or delay in completion of such work; or

(iv) any other act or omission of Tenant.

Additional Work

6. Upon Tenant’s request and submission by Tenant (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) of the necessary information and/or plans and specifications for work other than the Work specified in the Plan and Working Drawings (the “Additional Work”), Landlord may, at its election, perform the Additional Work, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Prior to commencing any Additional Work requested by Tenant, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a written statement of the cost of such Additional Work which cost shall include a 15% add-on charge for Landlord’s field supervision, administration and overhead and a proposed Tenant Extra Order (the “TEO”) for Additional Work in the standard form then in use by Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to enter into said TEO within one (1) week after Tenant’s receipt thereof, Landlord shall proceed to do only the Work specified in the Plan and Working Drawings. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, concurrently with its execution of the TEO, the entire cost of the Additional Work as shown in the statement delivered by Landlord.

2

Tenant Access

7. Landlord, in Landlord’s discretion and upon request by Tenant, will grant to Tenant and Tenant’s agents a license to enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date in order that Tenant may do other work required by Tenant to make the Premises ready for Tenant’s use and occupancy. It shall be a condition to the grant by Landlord and continued effectiveness of such license that:

(a) Tenant shall give to Landlord not less than three (3) days’ prior written notice of its request to have such access to the premises, which notice shall contain and/or shall be accompanied by: (i) a description of and schedule for the work to be performed by those persons and entities for whom and which such access is being requested; (ii) the names and addresses of all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers for whom and which such early access is being requested and the approximate number of individuals, itemized by trade, who will be present in the Premises; (iii) copies of all contracts pertaining to the performance of the work for which such early access is being requested; (iv) copies of all plans and specifications pertaining to the work for which such access is being requested; (v) copies of all licenses and permits required in connection with the performance of the work for which such access is being requested; and (vi) certificates of insurance (in amounts and with insured parties satisfactory to Landlord) and instruments of indemnification against all claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities which may arise in connection with such work. All of the foregoing shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Such early access shall be subject to scheduling by Landlord.

(c) Tenant’s agents, contractors, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees shall work in harmony and not interfere with Landlord and Landlord’s agents in performing the Work and any Additional Work in the Premises, Landlord’s work in other premises and in common areas of the Building, or the general operation of the Building. If at any time such entry shall cause or threaten to cause such disharmony, Landlord may withdraw such license upon twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice to Tenant.

Any such entry into and occupation of the Premises by Tenant shall be deemed to be under all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease, excluding only the covenant to pay Rent and specifically including the provisions of Article V thereof. Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant’s work or installations made in the Premises or to property placed therein prior to the commencement of the Term, the same being at Tenant’s sole risk and liability. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damage to the Premises or to any portion of the Work caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, workmen or suppliers. In the event the performance of the work by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors causes extra costs to Landlord or requires the use of elevators during hours other than 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Monday through Friday (except holidays), Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the entire extra cost and the cost incurred by Landlord for the engineers or operators under applicable union regulations or contracts, if any.

8. The terms and provisions of the Lease, insofar as they are applicable to this Work Letter Agreement, are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

3

9. All amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be deemed to be Rent under the Lease and upon any default in the payment of same, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies provided for in the Lease.

Renewal Option

Tenant shall have one (1) option to extend this Lease for an additional period of three (3) years. The extended term shall be on all of the same terms and conditions of this Lease with the exception that the Monthly Rent for the extended term shall be the then prevailing rental rate being charged by comparable buildings in the Westchase sub market. In order for Tenant to exercise this option to extend, Tenant must give Landlord written notice of its election to extend at least six (6) months (but no sooner than twelve [12] months) prior to the normal expiration date of the Lease, time being of the essence, which notice shall request that Landlord provide Tenant with the rental rate for the extended term. Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the rental rate for the extended term within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of Tenant’s notice to extend. If the parties have not signed a written amendment to this Lease confirming the extended term and the corresponding rental rate at least four (4) months prior to the normal expiration date of the Lease, time being of the essence, then Tenant’s extension of the Lease shall be automatically null and void and this Lease shall expire as if the extension option had never been exercised.

The foregoing option to extend is given on the express condition that Tenant may not exercise the foregoing option to extend if it shall be in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure period. Any attempted exercise while in default shall be null and void and of no effect. Tenant has no other option(s) to extend the term of this Lease except as set forth in this paragraph.
