6.Refurbishment Allowance. On December 1, 2005, Landlord shall provide to Tenant an allowance (the “Refurbishment Allowance”) of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) to be used by Tenant to design and construct improvements in the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to provide the Refurbishment Allowance if at such time (a) Tenant is the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding or any other insolvency proceeding, or (b) Tenant is in Default, or any circumstance exists which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Default. All improvements constructed with the Refurbishment Allowance shall be subject to the provisions of the Lease governing alterations to the Premises, and, unless waived in writing by Landlord, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Dallas Fort Worth (or its designee) shall serve as the construction manager for such improvements. The Refurbishment Allowance shall be used only for payment of the following: (i) costs, including professional fees, of the architect and other design and planning costs in connection with tenant improvements constructed in the Premises; (ii) the costs of labor and material associated with the construction of the tenant improvements in the Premises; and (iii) a fee equal to four percent (4%) of the sum of all design, planning and construction costs associated with the construction of the tenant improvements in the Premises, unless Landlord has waived in writing the requirement that Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Dallas Fort Worth (or its designee) serve as construction manager, in which event no fee shall be owed. Landlord shall have the right to require, as a condition to any disbursement of any portion of the Refurbishment Allowance requested by Tenant, that Tenant provide Landlord copies of invoices and/or similar evidence that the requested disbursement is for one of the purposes set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii).

Each payment of the Refurbishment Allowance shall be made within thirty (30) days after Landlord has received a request therefor together with all other documents reasonably required by Landlord.
7.Right of First Offer. Tenant shall have a right of first offer with respect to the space in Building A shown on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Offered Space”), under the following terms and conditions:
(a)Subject to the provisions of Section 7(d) below, if at any time during the term of the Lease any lease for any portion of the Offered Space shall expire and if Landlord intends to market the Offered Space to prospects for lease with third parties (a
First Amendment to Lease – Page 2
“Proposed Tenant”) other than the tenant then occupying such space (or its affiliates), Landlord shall first allow Tenant the right to include the Offered Space within the Premises.
(b)Such offer shall be made by Landlord to Tenant in a written notice (hereinafter called the “Offer Notice”) which notice shall designate the space being offered and shall specify the terms for such Offered Space that Landlord intends to submit to prospective tenants in an effort to market the Offered Space. Tenant may accept the offer set forth in the Offer Notice by delivering to Landlord an unconditional acceptance (hereinafter called “Tenant’s Notice”) of such offer within five (5) business days after delivery by Landlord of the Offer Notice to Tenant. Time shall be of the essence with respect to the giving of Xxxxxx’s Notice. If Tenant does not accept (or fails to timely accept) an offer made by Landlord pursuant to the provisions hereof with respect to the Offered Space designated in the Offer Notice, Landlord shall be under no further obligation whatsoever respect to such space. In order to send the Offer Notice, Landlord does not need to have negotiated a lease with any particular Proposed Tenant but may merely have determined on what basis it will market the Offered Space to Proposed Tenants. Tenant must make its decision with respect to the Offered Space as long as it has received a description of such material economic terms.
(c)Tenant must accept all Offered Space offered by Landlord at any one time if it desires to accept any of such Offered Space and may not exercise its right with respect to only part of such space. In addition, if Landlord desires to lease more than just the Offered Space to one tenant. Landlord may offer to Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof all such space which Landlord desires to lease, and Tenant must exercise its rights hereunder with respect to all such space and may not insist on receiving an offer for just the Offered Space.
(d)If Tenant at any time declines any Offered Space offered by Landlord, Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived all further rights under this Addendum, and Landlord shall be free to lease the Offered Space to any Proposed Tenant including on terms which may be less favorable to Landlord than those set forth in the Offer Notice.
(e)Tenant shall not have the benefit of the foregoing right of first offer if Tenant is in Default at the time the Offer Notice is to be sent, or if at such time any circumstance exists which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Default. The period of time Xxxxxx’s right of first offer may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise such right because of the provisions of this paragraph.
8.Option to Extend. The addendum to the Lease captioned “Option to Extend’ Addendum” is hereby deleted in its entirety. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the options to extend the term of this Lease for the periods (the “Option Periods”) (1) from December 1, 2010 to November 30, 2015, and (2) from December 1, 2015 to November 30, 2020, under the following terms and conditions.
(a)In order to exercise an option to extend, Tenant must give written notice of such election to Landlord and Xxxxxxxx must receive the same by no later than twenty four
First Amendment to Lease – Page 3
(24) months prior to the date (the “Last Exercise Date”) that the applicable Option Period would commence, but not earlier than thirty (30) months prior to the date that the applicable Option Period would commence. If proper notification of the exercise of an option is not given and/or received, such option shall automatically expire. The renewal options may only be exercised consecutively. Failure to exercise an option terminates that option and all subsequent options. Tenant acknowledges that because of the importance to Landlord of knowing no later than the Last Exercise Date whether or not Tenant will exercise the option, the failure of Tenant to notify Landlord by the Last Exercise Date will conclusively be presumed an election by Tenant not to exercise the option. Upon the exercise of an option to extend, both parties shall execute an amendment to the Lease evidencing the renewal thereof and setting forth the new Base Rent (as determined pursuant to Section 8(c) below) no later than eighteen (18) months prior to the date that the applicable Option Period would commence.
(b)Tenant shall have no right to exercise an option (i) if Tenant is in Default. or (ii) if during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the exercise of the option, three (3) or more Defaults have occurred which were not cured within any applicable notice or grace period. The period of time within which an option may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise an option because of the provisions of this paragraph.
(c)If an option to extend is exercised, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply, except that (i) Landlord shall not be required to grant any allowance or perform any tenant improvement work in the Premises, and (ii) for each Option Period, Base Rent shall be adjusted to equal fair market rent. After an option to renew is exercised, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to determine the Base Rent for the applicable Option Period. If agreement cannot be reached within thirty (30) days, then Landlord and Tenant shall each, no later than sixty (60) days after the date of exercise of the option, make a reasonable determination of the fair market rental for the Premises for the applicable Option Period and submit such determination, in writing, to arbitration in accordance with the following provisions:
(i)No later than ninety (90) days after the option to renew is exercised, Landlord and Tenant shall each select an industrial leasing broker to act as an arbitrator. The two arbitrators so appointed shall, no later then one hundred twenty (120) days after the option to renew is exercised, select a third mutually acceptable industrial leasing broker to act as a third arbitrator.
(ii)The three arbitrators, acting by a majority, shall no later then one hundred fifty (150) days after the option to renew is exercised, determine the actual fair market rental for the Premises for the Option Period. The decision of a majority of the arbitrators shall be binding on the parties. The fair market rental determination of Landlord or Tenant which is closest to the fair market rental as determined by the arbitrators shall be the Base Rent for the Option Period.
First Amendment to Lease – Page 4
(iii)If either of the parties fails to appoint an arbitrator within the period required by this Addendum, the arbitrator timely appointed shall determine the Base Rent for the Option Period.
(iv)The entire cost of such arbitration shall be paid by the party whose fair market rental submission is not selected.
(d)The renewal options set forth herein are personal to Tenant, cannot be assigned or exercised by anyone other than Tenant and only while Tenant is in full possession of the Premises and without the intention of thereafter assigning or subletting.
9.Guaranty. Concurrently with the execution hereof, Tenant shall cause Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx to execute and deliver to Landlord a guaranty in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof, which shall supersede the Original Guaranty.
10.Commission Agreement. Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a copy of the Commission Agreement (herein so called) executed between Landlord, as “Owner,” and Xxxxxx Commercial, as “Agent,” in connection with the Lease. The Commission Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, except that in connection with this Amendment (and this Amendment only) the compensation paid to Agent shall be as set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto. The Commission Agreement, as modified with respect to this Amendment only in the manner described on Exhibit E, shall be deemed included as a provision of this Lease in compliance with Section 62.022 of the Texas Property Code.
11.Counterparts. The parties may execute this Amendment in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all parties to this Amendment had signed the same document.
12.Governing Law. The Lease, as amended hereby, shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.
13.Continued Effect. The Lease, as amended hereby, is ratified and confirmed and shall continue in full force and effect.

2. CASH COMMISSION

Financial statements and other information necessary to determine credit risk are to be provided by Agent.
x.Xxxxxxx. If Agent requests a front-end cash-out of the commission obligation hereunder with respect to a renewal option contained in the lease which has been duly exercised, and if Prospect in Owner’s opinion then has sufficient credit to meet all of Prospect’s obligations under the lease during the renewal term, Owner shall pay Agent the then prevailing market commission for a renewal, based upon the total Rentals payable for the renewal term, up to ten (10) years, providing that Agent is instrumental in assisting Owner in obtaining such renewal.
c.Expansion. If Agent requests a front-end cash-out of the commission obligation hereunder with respect to an Option to Expand contained in the Lease Agreement which has been duly exercised prior to the termination of the Lease Agreement and if Prospect in Owner’s opinion then has sufficient credit to meet all of Prospect’s obligations under the lease as so expanded, Owner may pay Agent a commission of four and one-half percent (4-1/2%) of the total Rentals payable for the expansion space providing that Agent is instrumental in assisting Owner in obtaining such expansion.

In addition, no payment shall be payable until contingencies relating to the actual consummation or cancellation of the agreement by Prospect (including but not limited to contingencies regarding zoning, restrictive covenants, permitting, plan approvals and finish cost limits) are satisfactorily eliminated by the parties to the Lease Agreement. In addition for Build-to-Suit facilities no commission will be payable until Owner has received interim financing for the project.
(2)Renewal Term. If a renewal commission is due pursuant to Paragraph 2.b. above, the commission shall be payable upon written exercise of the renewal option and payment of the rental for the first full month of the renewal term.
e.Cancellation.

If the lease is not then canceled, Owner shall pay the balance of the commission due for the remainder of the period covered under the lease at the time the Prospect’s right to cancel expires, provided Prospect remains in occupancy of the space and is not in default under the Lease.

3. GENERAL
x.Xxxx of Premises. In the event of sale of the premises and assignment of the Lease Agreement by Owner, Owner agrees to provide a copy of this Commission Agreement to the Purchaser and to use its reasonable efforts to obtain from the purchaser or assignee an agreement whereby such purchaser or assignee assumes the obligation to pay to Agent under the terms and provisions hereof, and Owner shall be released from all liability for all future payments of commissions as may thereafter become due under this agreement.
