destroyed or damaged by fire or other hazard herein provided, then there shall

insurance company which has issued to it policies of fire and extended coverage
insurance, written notice of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this

SECTION 14. LESSOR'S RIGHT OF ENTRY:
6
Lessor, its officers, agents and representatives, subject to any security
regulations imposed by any governmental authority, shall have the right to enter
all parts of the Leased Premises at all reasonable hours, to inspect, clean,
make repairs, alterations and additions to the Building or Leased Premises which
it may deem necessary or desirable or to provide any service which it is
obligated to furnish to Lessee and Lessee shall not be entitled to any abatement
or reduction of rent by reason thereof.
SECTION 15. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE:
Lessor shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in part,
its rights and obligations in the Building and property that are the subject of
this Lease. Lessee shall not assign this Lease, or allow it to be assigned, in
whole or in part by operation of law or otherwise, or mortgage or pledge the
same, or sublet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, without the prior
written consent of Lessor, such consent not to be unreasonably withhold if
Permitted Use remains the same, and in no event shall any such assignment or
sublease ever release Lessee from any obligation or liability hereunder. No
assignee or Sublessee of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof may assign
or sublet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof. Lessor shall have the
option, upon receipt from Lessee of written request for Lessor's consent to
subletting or assignment, to cancel this Lease as of the date the requested
subletting or assignment is to be effective. The option shall be exercised, if
at all, within thirty (30) days following Lessor's receipt of written notice by
delivery to Lessee of written notice of Lessor's intention to exercise the
option. Upon the occurrence of any "event of default" as defined below, if all
or any part of the Leased Premises are then assigned or sublet, Lessor, in
addition to any other remedies provided by this Lease or provided by law, may,
at its option, collect directly from the assignee or subLessee all rents
becoming due to Lessee by reason of the assignment or sublease and Lessor shall
have a security interest in all properties on the Leased Premises to secure
payment of such sums. Any collection directly by Lessor from the assignee or
subLessee shall not be construed to constitute a release of Lessee from the
further performance of its obligations under this Lease.
SECTION 16. LANDLORD'S LIEN:
This section has been stricken
SECTION 17. DEFAULT BY LESSEE AND REMEDIES:
17.1. Any of the following shall be, deemed to be events of default by
Lessee under this Lease:
17.1.1. Lessee shall fail to pay when due any installment of rent or any
other payment required pursuant to this Lease, and the failure is not cured
within five (5) days after written notice from Lessor to Lessee.
17.1.2. Lessee shall abandon any substantial portion of the Leased
Premises. Should Lessee vacate the office area, and continue to occupy and do
business in the warehouse area while paying the stated rant, such occurrence
shall not constitute abandonment.
17.1.3. Lessee shall fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of
this Lease, other than the payment of rent, and the failure is not cured within
fifteen (15) days after written notice from Lessor to Lessee. (except for a
default caused by the nonpayment of rent as set forth in Section 4 hereof, for
which five (5) days' notice is required).
17.1.4. Lessee shall file a petition or be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent
under the National Bankruptcy Act, as amended or any similar law or statute of
the United States or any state or a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for
all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee or Lessee shall make a transfer
in fraud of creditors or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
17.1.5. Lessee shall create or permit to be created any lien, encumbrance,
or charge (arising out of any work done or materials or supplies furnished by
any contractor, mechanic, laborer, or material man, or any mortgage, conditional
sale, security agreement, or chattel mortgage, or otherwise, by or for Lessee)
which might become a lien, encumbrance, or charge upon the Leased Premises or
any part
7
thereof, or the income therefrom. If Lessee is in default under this Subsection
17.1.5, all costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by Lessor in
connection therewith, shall constitute Rent under this Lease, which Lessee shall
pay to Lessor upon demand. Nothing herein contained shall obligate Lessee to pay
or discharge any lien created by Lessor.
17.2. Upon the occurrence of any event of default as set forth herein,
Lessor may treat the occurrence of such event of default as a breach of this
Lease, and in addition to any and all other rights or remedies of Lessor
provided in this Lease or by law or in equity, Lessor shall have the right, at
Lessor's option, and without further notice or demand of any kind to Lessee or
to any other person, to take one or more of the following actions, it being
agreed that Lessor's remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive of each
other:
(A) Terminate this Lease or terminate Lessee's right to possession by
giving Lessee written notice, in which event, Lessor shall be entitled to
recover forthwith as damages a sum of money equal to:
(i) The total rent and other amounts due and unpaid at the time of
termination plus interest thereon at the maximum non usurious rate permitted by
law, or if applicable law does not provide a maximum non usurious rate, then at
an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate (herein, the interest rate in effect from
time to time, described as the base rate on corporate loans at large U.S. money
center commercial banks as published by The Wall Street Journal, the "Prime
Rate") as it varies, plus two percentage points based upon a 365 day year, from
the date due until the date paid; plus any other amounts necessary to compensate
Lessor for all of the detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to
perform its obligations under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of
things would be likely to result therefrom, including without limitation, the
cost of renovating and reletting the Leased Premises, reasonable attorneys'
fees, any reasonable fees paid to a collection agency for the process of
collecting any moneys due to Lessor, real estate commissions and fees, and
expenses or costs incurred in connection with mortgagees or other Lessees as a
result of such termination; and
(ii) A sum equal to the amount of the then cash value of the total rent
and all other amounts that Lessee would have been required to pay under the
provisions of this Lease for the period which otherwise would have been the
unexpired portion of the term (such cash value, if and only if required by
applicable law, reduced by the then cash value of the fair and reasonable rental
value of the Leased Premises for the same period). The "fair and reasonable
rental value of the Leased Premise" shall be determined on the basis of a Lessee
paying not only a return to a landlord for the use and occupation of the Leased
Premises, but also other moneys, costs, charges, and expenses as are required to
be paid by Lessee under the terms of this Lease. The Term "then cash value"
means the amount in question discounted at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per
annum to present worth.
(B) Terminate Lessee's right of possession and retake possession of the
Leased Premises from Lessee by summary proceedings or otherwise, and it is
agreed that the commencement and prosecution of any action by Lessor in forcible
entry and detainer, ejectment or otherwise, or any execution of any judgment or
decree obtained in any action to recover possession of the Leased Premises,
shall not be construed as an election to terminate this Lease, whether such
re-entry is had or taken under summary proceedings or otherwise, and shall not
be deemed to have discharged Lessee from any of its obligations for the
remainder of the Term. Lessee shall, notwithstanding any such re-entry, continue
to be liable for the payment of all Rent and other amounts due hereunder, and
the performance of the covenants and agreements to be performed by Lessee under
this Lease. In the event Lessor retakes possession of the Leased Premises,
Lessor shall have the right, but not the duty, to relet the Leased Premises to
some other person, firm or corporation (whether for a term greater or less than,
or equal to the unexpired portion of the Term; whether the space so relet
includes more or less square footage of leasable area than the Leased Premises;
or whether the character and/or use of the Leased Premises is changed, upon such
terms and conditions and for such rental as the Lessor may deem proper in the
exercise of its reasonable business judgment. Thereafter all of the rentals and
other charges received by Lessor for such reletting shall be applied in the
following order: (i) to the payment of any indebtedness other then rent due
hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; (ii) to the payment of any and all costs of
such reletting, (iii) to the payment of the cost of any alternations and/or
repairs to the Leased Premises, (iv) the residue, if any, shall be held by
Lessor and applied in payment of future rent and other amounts as the same may
become due and payable hereunder. If the rentals received during any month from
such reletting are insufficient, following the specified application thereof, to
cover the rent and other amounts payable by Lessee during such month, then
Lessee shall pay any deficiency to Lessor, which deficiency shall be calculated
and paid monthly. Lessee shall have no right to any excess rentals received from
such reletting but shall receive credit therefor pursuant to Subsection 17.2 (B)
(vi). Lessee also shall pay to Lessor, as soon as ascertained, any costs and
expenses, including but not limited to brokerage commissions and attorneys' fees
and fees paid to collection agencies, incurred by Lessor in such reletting, or
in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from
such reletting. In the event Lessor retakes possession of the Leased Premises,
Lesser shall have the right, but not the duty, to remove therefrom any or all
part of the personal property located therein, and may place the same in storage
at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of the owner or owners thereof. If
Lessor elects to exercise the remedy prescribed in this paragraph(s), this
election shall in no way prejudice Lessor's right at any time
8
thereafter to cancel said election in favor of the remedy prescribed in
Subsection 17.2 (A).
(C) File suit from time to time to recover any sums due or falling due
under this Lease.
(D) Alter locks or other security devices at the Leased Premises, and
Lessor shall not be required to make a key available to altered locks or
security devices but Lessor may permit access to the Leased Premises during
Lessor's regular business hours. No alteration of locks or other security
devices and no removal or other exercise of dominion by Lessor over the property
of Lessee or others at the Leased Premises shall be deemed unauthorized or
constitute a conversion, Lessee hereby consenting, after an event of default, to
the aforesaid exercise of dominion over Lessee's property within the Leased
Premises. All claims for damages by reason of such reentry or repossession or
alteration of locks or other security devices are hereby waived, as are all
claims for damages by reason of any distress warrant, forcible detainer
proceedings, sequestration proceedings or other legal process, unless such
damage is caused by Lessor's gross negligence. Lessee agrees that any reentry by
Lessor may be pursuant to judgment obtained in forcible detainer proceedings or
other legal proceedings, as Lessor may elect. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor
may require full payment of all sums then due to Lessor under this Lease as a
condition to Lessee's entitlement to a key to new or altered locks that Lessor
may have placed on the Leased Premises after an event of default.
It is hereby expressly stipulated by Lessor and Lessee that any of the
foregoing actions (B) through (D) will not affect the obligations of the Lessee
for the unexpired Term, including, but not limited to, the obligation for
unaccrued rent and other amounts due.
12.3. All remedies herein given Lessor, including all those not set forth
provide by law or in equity, including specific injunctive relief, shall be
cumulative, and the exercise of one or more of such remedies by Lessor shall not
exclude the exercise of any other consistent remedy, nor shall any waiver by
Lessor, express or implied, of any breach of any term, covenant or condition
hereof be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant or condition hereof. Acceptance
of rent by Lessor from Lessee or any assignee, sub-Lessee or other successor in
interest to Lessee, with or without notice, shall never be construed as a waiver
of any breach of any term, condition or covenant of this Lease. Failure of
Lessor to declare any default at any time and take such action as may be
authorized hereunder, in law or equity, or otherwise shall never be construed as
a waiver of any condition or covenant of this Lease.
SECTION 18. FORCE MAJEURE:
Lessor shall not be required to perform any covenant or obligation in this
Lease, or be liable in damages to Lessee, so long as the performance or
non-performance of the covenant or obligation is delayed, caused by or prevented
by an act of God or force majeure. An "act of God" or "force majeure" is defined
for purpose of this Lease as strikes, lockouts, sit-downs, material or labor
restrictions by any governmental authority, riots, floods, washouts, explosions,
earthquakes, fire, storms, acts of the public enemy, wars, insurrections and any
other cause not reasonably within the control of Lessor and which by the
exercise of due diligence Lessor is unable, wholly or in part, to prevent or
overcome.
SECTION 19. HOLDING OVER:
In the event of holding over by Lessee after the expiration or termination
of this Lease, such hold over shall be as a Lessee at will and all of the terms
and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during such period, except that
Lessee shall pay Lessor as rental for the period of such hold over an amount
equal to one end one-half the rent which would have been payable by Lessee had
such hold over period been a part of the original term of this Lease, and Lessee
will vacate said premises and deliver the same to Lessor upon Lessee's receipt
of notice from Lessor to vacate said premises. The rental payable during such
hold over period shall be payable to Lessor on demand. Lessee shall provide
Lessor with written notice of Lessee's intent to terminate this Lease 30 days
prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease. If Lessee does not provide
said 30 day notice, Lessee shall be deemed a holdover tenant until such time as
Lessor has received said 30 days written notice and Lessor shall have the right
to charge holdover rent from the date of receipt of notice of termination until
the expiration of 30 days from the date of receipt of said notice. No holding
over by Lessee, whether with or without consent of Lessor, shall operate to
extend this lease except as herein provided.
SECTION 20. SIGN:
No signs of any kind or nature, symbol or identifying xxxx shall be put on
the Building entrances, parking areas or upon the doors or walls, whether plate
glass or otherwise, of the Leased Premises nor within the Leased Premises so as
to be visible from the public areas or exterior of the Building, without prior
written approval of Lessor. All signs or lettering shall conform in all respects
to the sign and/or lettering criteria established by Lessor. See attached
Protective covenants Item 7 "SIGNS".
SECTION 21. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS:
9
The Lessor and Lessee agree that all provisions hereof are to be construed
as covenants and agreements as though the words imparting such covenants were
used in each separate paragraph hereof, and that, except as restricted by the
provisions of the section entitled "Assignment or Sublease" hereof, this Lease
agreement and all the covenants herein contained shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of Lessor and Lessee and their respective heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns. It is hereby covenant and agreed that
should Lessor's interest in the Leased Premises cease to exist for any reason
during the term of the Lease, then notwithstanding the happening of such event,
this Lease nevertheless shall remain unimpaired and in full force and effect and
Lessee hereunder agrees to attorn to the then owner of the Leased Premises.
SECTION 22. RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEE:
Lessee accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any recorded mortgage,
deed of trust or other lien presently existing upon the Leased Premises. Lessor
is hereby irrevocably vested with full power and authority to subordinate
Lessee's interest under this Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien
hereafter placed on the Leased Premises, and Lessee agrees upon demand to
execute additional instruments subordinating this Lease as Lessor may require.
If the interest of Lessor under this Lease shall be transferred by reason of
foreclosure or other proceedings for enforcement of any mortgage on the Leased
Premises, Lessee shall be bound to the transferee (sometimes called the
"Purchaser") under the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease for the
balance of the term remaining and any extensions or renewals, with the same
force and effect as if the Purchaser were Lessor under this Lease and Lessee
agrees to attorn to the Purchaser, including the mortgagee under any such
mortgage if it be the Purchaser, as its Lessor, the attornnent to be effective
and self-operative without the executing of any further instruments upon the
Purchaser succeeding to the interest of Lessor under this Lease. The respective
rights and obligations of Lessee and the Purchaser upon the attornment, to the
extent of the then remaining balance of the term of this Lease, and any
extensions and renewals, shall be and are the same as those set forth in the
Lease.
SECTION 23. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES:

Lessor or Lessor's mortgagee, a statement certifying that Lessee is in
possession of the Leased Premises, the Leased Premises are acceptable, the Lease
is in full force and effect, the Lease is unmodified, Lessee claims no recent
charge, lien or claim, of offset against rent, the rent is paid for the current
month, but is not paid and will not be paid for more than one month in advance,

mortgagee.

erected and to be erected upon the Leased Premises shall have been completed in

been completed as of that date, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing of its
objections. Lessor shall have a reasonable time after delivery of the notice in
which to take such corrective action as may be necessary, and shall notify
Lessee in writing as soon as it deems such corrective action has been completed
so that the improvements are completed and ready for occupancy. Taking of
possession by Lessee shall be conclusively deemed to establish that the
improvements have been completed and that the Leased Premises are in good and
satisfactory condition, as of the date possession was so taken by Lessee, except
for latent defects, if any.

provision that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there be added as a part of

Building or the Project, as the same may then be encumbered. Lessor shall not be

CONSTRUCTION OF LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
1. Preparation of Lessee Plans.
(a) Lessor shall provide and submit to Lessee for its approval the
Lessee Plans (hereinafter defined) necessary to price and construct the
Leasehold Improvements within the Leased Premises (herein referred to as
"Leasehold improvements") based on the plans prepared by Radian Design.
(b) "Lessee Plans" means complete sets (at least three prints and one
reproducible copy) of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and
plumbing working drawings for any and all Leasehold Improvements (which shall
include such written instructions or specifications as may be necessary to
secure a building permit from the City of Houston and shall show the full
detailed scope of all Leasehold improvements). The Lessee Plans shall be
consistent with and shall conform to the Building plans and specifications and
all applicable laws, regulations, rules, ordinances and codes, which shall be
the obligation of Lessor. The structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing
portions of the Lessee Plans shall be prepared (at Lessee's expense) by
engineers approved by Lessor, if such plans are necessary.
(c) The Lessee Plans shall be completed on or before December 5, 1997.
Lessor shall submit the same for Lessee's approval on or prior to December 5,
1997, and Lessee agrees to review the same and respond to Lessor within two (2)
days of the day of receipt thereof.
(d) If Lessor and Lessee have not agreed on the Lessee Plans by the end
of the two (2) day period as referenced in paragraph (c) above, then Lessor
shall have the right at its option, to terminate this Lease (without waiving any
other rights Lessor may have) and be relieved of any further obligations
hereunder.
2. Construction of Leasehold Improvements.
(a) After receipt and approval of Lessee's Plans, Lessor shall
administer the construction of Leasehold improvements in accordance with the
approved construction documents and proposal of Lessor's Contractor; provided,
however, that Lessor shall not be required to install any Leasehold improvements
which do not conform to Building plans and specifications or to any applicable
regulations, laws, ordinances, codes and rules. Such conformity shall be the
obligation of Lessee.
(b) Lessor shall, at its expense, deliver the Leased Premises to Lessee
in an "As-is" condition without any representations or warranties, expressed or
implied, of any character or kind whatsoever, including, without limitation,
fitness for a particular purpose or tenantability, and without recourse to
Lessor. Lessor shall assign to Lessee (without any warranty express or implied)
any warranties Lessor receives from the contractor with respect to the Leasehold
improvements.
(c) All Leasehold improvements shall be constructed by Lessor's
Contractor with the exception of telephone and computer equipment and wiring
which may be installed by Lessee subject to the limitations contained herein.
All such equipment furnished and installed by Lessee shall be installed in a
manner which conforms with Lessor's Contractor's schedule, and the work of
installation shall be handled in such a manner as not to interfere with or delay
the work of Lessor's Contractor. No portion of the work to be performed by
Lessor's Contractor shall be dependent upon completion of any work of
construction or installation to be performed by Lessee.
(d) It is agreed that Lessee may authorize changes (Change Orders) in
the Leasehold improvements, provided that any Changes Orders must meet the
criteria set forth in paragraph 1(b) above, nor act to extend the time for
construction. Lessee shall pay any net increase in cost and any additional
administrative cost recovery fee as a result thereof (including the cost of all
modifications to Leasehold improvements which have theretofore been initiated or
constructed and any modifications required to the base building).
The Leased Premises shall be deemed to be "ready" for Lessee's
occupancy when the build-out work (except for minor finishing jobs) has been
substantially completed as defined below:
TERM - SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
The Term shall commence upon the date that the Leased Premises are ready for
occupancy. "Ready for Occupancy" means the first to occur of: (i) Substantial
Completion (defined below) of the Leasehold improvements (defined below), or
(ii) occupancy of the Leased Premises by Lessee, or (iii) the date that Lessor's
Work would have been substantially complete if no "Lessee Delay" days (defined
below) had occurred. The parties estimate that the Leasehold improvements will
be Substantially Complete on or about FEBRUARY 15, 1998. Lessee anticipates
occupying the warehouse area on DECEMBER 1, 1997, which is the Scheduled
Commencement Date for occupying the warehouse area only. The anticipated
Scheduled Commencement Date for occupying the office area is on or before
FEBRUARY 15, 1997. If the Leasehold improvements are not Substantially Complete
by the Scheduled Commencement Date for the office area for any reason, Lessor
shall not be liable for any claims, damages or liabilities in connection
therewith or by reason thereof, but the Term shall commence as provided above.
If Substantial Completion occurs prior to the Scheduled Commencement, Lessee
shall take occupancy of the Leased Premises as soon as possible thereafter, but
in any event no later that two (2) days thereafter and the Term shall commence
on the date of such occupancy or two (2) days after Substantial Completion
(whichever is sooner) and such date shall become the Commencement Date.
"Substantial Completion" of the Leased Premises shall mean substantial
completion of the Leasehold improvements in accordance with the Lessee Plans (as
defined in Exhibit "A"), with a punch-list of uncompleted items which do not
interfere in any material respect with the use or enjoyment of the Leased
Premises.
"Lessee Delay", as used herein, means delays in substantial completion
of the Leased Premises resulting from (i) Lessee's failure to meet the dates
established in paragraph 1 for submission and approval of Lessee Plans (as
defined in Exhibit "A"), (ii) High-risk Items as defined below, and (iii) any
other delays caused by Lessee in completing Lessee Improvements (as defined in
Exhibit "A"). including delays caused by changes requested by Lessee. "High-Risk
Items" means Lessee Improvements which Lessor acting in good faith reasonably
believes have a probability of not being completed by the originally scheduled
Commencement Date (due to limited supplies or suppliers, length of time to be
manufactured, delivered or installed or otherwise). Lessor shall designate any
High-risk Items at or prior to the time of approval of the Tenant Plans (or any
revisions thereof on which the same appear).
