expense, a survey of the Property dated April 29, 2005 prepared by Lane’s Southwest Surveying, Inc.
(the “Existing Survey”). Purchaser has ordered an update of the Existing Survey (the “Survey”)
which shall be paid for by Seller. The Survey shall consist of a plat and field notes, be prepared
by a licensed surveyor and conform to the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ASCM Land
Title Surveys (as adopted in 1999), including items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7(a), 7(b)(1), 7(c), 8, 9, 10,
11(a), 13, 14 and 15 of Table A thereof. For purposes of the property description to be included
in the Deed, the field notes prepared by the surveyor shall control any conflicts or
inconsistencies with Exhibit B, and such field notes shall be incorporated herein by this
reference upon their completion and approval by Seller and Purchaser.
Section 6.3 Title Review. Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser
shall notify Seller in writing of any objections Purchaser has to any matters shown on the Title
Commitment or the Survey. All objections raised by Purchaser in the manner herein provided are
hereafter called “Objections.” Seller shall have the option, but not the obligation, to remedy or
remove all Objections (or agree irrevocably in writing to remedy or remove all such Objections at
or prior to Closing) during the period of time beginning at the expiration of the Due Diligence
Period and ending on the second (2nd) calendar day thereafter (“Seller’s Cure Period”). Except to
the extent that Seller cures, or agrees in writing to cure, such Objections during Seller’s Cure
Period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure such matters. In
19
the event Seller is,
or is deemed to be, unable or unwilling to remedy or cause the removal of any Objections (or agree
irrevocably to do so at or prior to Closing) within the Seller’s Cure Period, then either (i) this
Agreement may be terminated in its entirety by or on behalf of Purchaser by giving Seller written
notice to such effect five (5) calendar days after the expiration of Seller’s Cure Period,
whereupon the Title Company shall return the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Purchaser and thereafter all
parties hereto or mentioned herein shall be released and relieved of further obligations,
liabilities or claims hereunder, except for the Termination Surviving Obligations; or (ii) any such
Objections may be waived by or on behalf of Purchaser, with Purchaser to be deemed to have waived
such Objections if notice of termination is not given within five (5) calendar days after the
expiration of Seller’s Cure Period. Any title encumbrances or exceptions which are set forth in
the Title Commitment or the Survey and to which Purchaser does not object on or prior to the last
day of the Due Diligence Period (or which are thereafter waived or deemed to be waived by
Purchaser)
shall be deemed to be permitted encumbrances (the “Permitted Encumbrances”) to the status of
Seller’s title to the Property.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6.3 to the contrary, Seller will be
obligated to cure exceptions to title to the Property relating to (or, as to (ii), cure or cause
deletion from the Title Policy or affirmative title insurance over) (i) liens and security
interests securing any loan to Seller (including, but not limited to the pay-off the loan from The
Prudential Insurance Company of America, a New Jersey corporation, to Seller), (ii) any other liens
or security interests created by Seller securing monetary obligations, and (iii) any title
encumbrances created after the Effective Date in breach of this Agreement.
Section 6.4 Title Policy. On the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the Title Company to
issue to Purchaser the Title Policy at Seller’s cost, insuring good and indefeasible fee simple
title to the Real Property in Purchaser in accordance with the Title Commitment, (1) subject only
to (a) the Permitted Encumbrances, (b) rights of tenants under the Tenant Leases, and (c) the
standard printed exceptions, except that the exception as to discrepancies, conflicts, shortages in
area or boundary lines or any encroachments, protrusions or overlapping of improvements (the
"Survey Exception”) shall be deleted (except for “shortages in area”), the standard printed
exception pertaining to taxes shall be limited to the year in which the Closing occurs and
subsequent years and subsequent assessments for prior years due to change in land usage or
ownership, there shall be no exception for lack of access, all arbitration provisions shall be
deleted, and any exception as to restrictive covenants, if any, shall be limited to such
restrictions as are Permitted Exceptions, and (2) at Purchaser’s option, with the following
endorsements included (i) T-25 Contiguity Endorsement, if applicable, (ii) T-19.1 Restrictions,
Encroachments and Minerals Endorsement, and (iii) T-23 Access Endorsement (the “Final Title
Policy”).

aggregates at least eighty percent (80%) of the leased space at the Improvements, executed estoppel
certificates (“Tenant Estoppel Certificates"), with no material modifications from the estoppel
certificate form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2; provided, however, (1) the Tenant Estoppel
Certificate for the Centex Service Company Lease (the “Centex Service Company Estoppel
Certificate”) will be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit S with no material
modifications thereto, and (2) with respect to the Tenant Estoppel Certificates other than the
Centex Service Company Estoppel Certificate, Purchaser will not unreasonably withhold approval of
any estoppel certificate as modified by a Tenant and delivered by Seller to Purchaser, provided
that the information included in such estoppel is not inconsistent with (x) the factual information
disclosed to Purchaser in writing on or before June 13, 2005, (y) the representations, warranties
and covenants of Seller contained in this Agreement, and (z) the information included in the
estoppel form completed for such Tenant pursuant to the below provisions of this Section

will be a condition to Closing that Seller obtain and deliver to Purchaser Tenant Estoppel
Certificates for all Tenant Leases under which Seller or an Affiliate of Seller is the tenant
thereunder (including, but not limited to, the Centex Service Company Estoppel Certificate)
(collectively, the “Centex Estoppel Certificates”). On or before August 12, 2005, Seller will
deliver to Purchaser completed forms of estoppel certificates, in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit D-2 and containing the information contemplated thereby, for all Tenants (other
than Centex Service Company). Within two (2) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof,
Purchaser will send to Seller notice either (i) approving such forms as completed by Seller, or
(ii) setting forth in detail all changes to such forms which Purchaser believes to be appropriate
to make the completed forms of estoppel certificates accurate and complete. In the event Seller
objects to Purchaser’s changes to the form of the estoppel certificate, Seller and Purchaser hereby
agree to reasonably cooperate with each other to timely develop an acceptable estoppel certificate.
(b) Exclusive of the Centex Estoppel Certificates, in the event Seller fails, for any reason,
to deliver to Purchaser the required number of acceptable Tenant Estoppel Certificates in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2 at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
Closing Date, then Seller will not be deemed in default hereunder, and Purchaser’s sole remedy,
except as provided in the immediately following sentence, will be to terminate this
23
Agreement
whereupon the Title Company will return the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to Purchaser, and both parties
will be relieved of any further obligations hereunder, except for the Termination Surviving
Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event Seller fails to deliver
to Purchaser the Centex Estoppel Certificates as required by Section 7.2(a) above, Seller
shall be in default of this Agreement and Purchaser shall have the rights and remedies provided
under Section 13.1 below for such Seller default.
Section 7.3 Lease Amendments. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (a) the Centex Service Company Lease Amendment in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit J executed by Centex Service Company, and (b) the

Construction Group under that certain Lease Agreement dated June 5, 2003 by and between Seller and
Centex Construction Group (“Centex Construction Group Lease Guaranty”).
Section 7.5 Audit Cooperation. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall
provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser access to, such
factual information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser and in the possession or control of
Seller or its property manager or accountants, to enable Purchaser (or Xxxxx or an Affiliate of
Xxxxx) to allow Purchaser’s auditor (Deloitte & Touche LLP or any successor auditor selected by
Purchaser) to conduct an audit of the income statements of the Property for the most recent fiscal
year prior to the date of Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such factual information shall
include weighted average occupancy and occupancy at the end of each year for the five (5) calendar
years prior to the year in which the Closing occurs and the average effective rent per square foot
for the five (5) calendar years prior to the year in which the Closing occurs. Purchaser shall be
responsible for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit. Seller shall cooperate (at no
cost to Seller) with Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of such audit. In addition, Seller agrees
to provide to Purchaser’s auditor a letter of representation substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit Q (the “Representation Letter”), and, if requested by such
auditor, historical financial statements for the Property, including income and balance sheet data
for the Property, whether required before or after Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing,
(i) Purchaser or its designated independent or other auditor may audit Seller’s operating
statements of the Property, at Purchaser’s expense, and Seller shall provide such documentation as
Purchaser or its auditor may reasonably request from documentation in Seller’s possession or
control in order to complete such audit, and (ii) Seller shall furnish to Purchaser such financial
and other information as may be reasonably required by Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser to
make any required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other
24
governmental
authority; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations of Seller shall be limited to
providing such information or documentation as may be in the possession of, or reasonably
obtainable by, Seller, its property manager or accountants, at no cost to Seller, and in the format
that Seller (or its property manager or accountants) have maintained such information.

ARTICLE IX
CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY
Section 9.1 Significant Casualty. If, prior to the earlier of (i) Purchaser’s termination
of this Agreement pursuant to a right to do so, or (ii) the Closing Date, all or a Significant
Portion of the Real Property and Improvements is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty,
Seller will promptly notify Purchaser of such casualty. Purchaser will have the option to
terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller given not later than twenty (20) days after
receipt of Seller’s written notice (and the Closing will be postponed if necessary to afford
Purchaser the full twenty (20) days to elect such option). If this Agreement is terminated, the
Xxxxxxx Money Deposit will be returned to Purchaser and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser
will have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except with respect to the
Termination Surviving Obligations. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, Seller
will not be obligated to repair such damage or destruction but (a) Seller will assign and turn over
to Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds (or, if such have not been awarded, all of its right,
title and interest therein) payable with respect to such fire or other casualty, and (b) the
parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase
Price, except that Purchaser will receive a credit for any insurance deductible amount.

casualty; however, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement and Seller shall
either (a) promptly commence and complete with diligence the repair of such damage or destruction;
provided, however, if a postponement of the Closing Date is reasonably necessary for Seller to
complete the repair of such damage or destruction, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in
writing (the “Casualty Notice”) and the Closing Date shall be postponed for a period not to exceed
thirty (30) days as requested by Seller in such Casualty Notice, or (b) not make such repairs but
Purchaser shall receive a credit for the cost of such repairs at Closing, as such cost is estimated
by a contractor (which contractor shall not be an Affiliate of Seller) selected by Purchaser and
Seller each acting in good faith.

condemnation of all or any portion of the Property prior to the Closing, Seller shall promptly
notify Purchaser of the same and Purchaser will have the option, by providing Seller written notice
within twenty (20) days after receipt of Seller’s written notice of such condemnation or sale, of
terminating Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement or electing to have this Agreement remain
in full force and effect (and the Closing will be postponed if necessary to afford Purchaser the

Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, Seller will pay and assign to Purchaser any and all
proceeds of such condemnation or sale to the extent the same are applicable to the Property, and

condemnation and without reduction of the Purchase Price. In the event Purchaser does not terminate
this Agreement, Seller
shall not settle or compromise any condemnation or sale in lieu thereof without the prior written

Section 10.4 Prorations.
(a) Seller and Purchaser agree to adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. Local Time on the day immediately
preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Time”), the following (collectively, the “Proration
Items”): real estate and personal property taxes and assessments, utility bills (except as
hereinafter provided), collected Rentals and operating expenses payable by the owner
of the Property (subject to the terms of (c) below). Seller will be charged and credited for
the amounts of all of the Proration Items relating to the period up to and including the Closing
Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the
period after the Closing Time. Such preliminary estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on
a preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Seller and submitted to Purchaser for Purchaser’s
approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) at least three
(3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement, once
agreed upon, shall be signed by Purchaser and Seller and delivered to the Title Company for
purposes of making the preliminary proration adjustment at Closing subject to the final cash
settlement provided for below. The preliminary proration shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to
Seller (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser
(if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the
cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing.
32
If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Time, the prorations will be made at
Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; and after actual figures are received,
re-prorations will be determined by Seller and Purchaser on the basis of the actual figures, and a
final cash settlement will be made between Seller and Purchaser. The final reconciliation of
Proration Items shall be made by Purchaser and Seller within fifteen (15) days after the first
anniversary of the Closing Date and any sums due to Seller or Purchaser shall be paid within thirty
(30) days after such final reconciliation. No prorations will be made in relation to insurance
premiums, and Seller’s insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser. Final readings and
final xxxxxxxx for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Time, in which event no
proration will be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills. Seller will be entitled to
all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Purchaser will be obligated to
make its own arrangements for deposits with the utility providers.
(b) Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of
the Closing Time) of all Rentals previously paid to or collected by Seller and attributable to any
period following the Closing Time. After the Closing, Seller will cause to be paid or turned over
to Purchaser all Rentals, if any, received by Seller after Closing and attributable to any period
following the Closing Time. “Rentals” as used herein includes fixed monthly rentals, additional
rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include each Tenant’s pro rata share of
operating costs and expenses as provided for under the applicable Tenant Lease, to the extent the
same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Tenant Lease), retroactive rentals, all
administrative charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association dues, storage rentals,
special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone receipts, locker rentals, vending machine
receipts and other sums and charges payable by tenants under the Tenant Leases or from other
occupants or users of the Property. Rentals are “Delinquent” when they were due prior to the
Closing Time and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Time. Delinquent
Rentals will not be prorated. Purchaser agrees to use good faith collection procedures with
respect to the collection of any Delinquent Rentals, but Purchaser will have no liability for the
failure to collect any such amounts and will not be required to conduct lock-outs or file a lawsuit
to enforce collection of any such amounts owed to Seller by Tenants of the Property. All sums
collected by Purchaser from and after Closing from each Tenant (excluding tenant specific xxxxxxxx
for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section
10.4(d) below) will be applied first to current amounts owed by such Tenant to Purchaser, then
to prior delinquencies owed by such Tenant to Purchaser, and then to
prior delinquencies owed by such Tenant to Seller. Any such sums due to Seller will be
remitted, within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of such funds, to Seller net of
Purchaser’s reasonable costs of collection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, after the
Closing Date Seller may collect Delinquent Rentals, amounts owed for Operating Expenses and
xxxxxxxx for tenant work orders directly from Tenants, provided, however, (1) in no event will
Seller have the right to threaten or institute any legal proceeding to collect such Delinquent
Rentals, or threaten the termination of or terminate any Tenant Lease, (2) Purchaser shall have no
obligation to collect any Delinquent Rentals after Seller begins collection efforts with respect to
such Delinquent Rentals, and (3) Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of the commencement of any
collection efforts taken by Seller and the actions taken with respect thereto.
(c) Seller will prepare a reconciliation as of the Closing Time of the amounts of all xxxxxxxx
and charges to Tenants for operating expenses and tax escalations (collectively,
33
"Operating
Expenses”). If more amounts have been incurred for Operating Expenses than have been collected
from Tenants for Operating Expenses, Purchaser will pay such difference to Seller at such time as
Purchaser has recovered such amounts from the Tenants. If more amounts have been collected from
Tenants for Operating Expenses than have been incurred for Operating Expenses, Seller will pay to
Purchaser at Closing as a credit against the Purchase Price such excess collected amount.
Purchaser and Seller agree that such proration of Operating Expenses at Closing will fully relieve
Seller from any responsibility to Tenants or Purchaser for such matters subject to Seller’s and
Purchaser’s right and obligation to finalize prorations as set forth in Section 10.4(a)
above. In this regard, Purchaser will be solely responsible, from and after Closing, for (i)
collecting from Tenants the amount of any outstanding Operating Expenses for periods before and
after Closing, and (ii) where appropriate, reimbursing Tenants for amounts attributable to
Operating Expenses, as may be necessary based on annual reconciliations for Operating Expenses.
(d) With respect to specific outstanding tenant xxxxxxxx for work orders, special items
performed or provided at the request of a given Tenant or other specific services as set forth on
Exhibit H attached hereto, which are collected by Purchaser after the Closing Time but
relate to the foregoing specific services rendered by Seller prior to the Closing Time and which
are identified on the Tenant’s payment as relating to such specific services, Purchaser shall cause
such collected amounts, less Purchaser’s costs of collection, to be paid to Seller.
(e) Leasing Costs shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as provided in Section
3.2.
(f) The provisions of this Section 10.4 will survive the Closing for fourteen (14)
months (except (e) which is governed by Section 3.2).
Section 10.5 Delivery of Real Property. Upon completion of the Closing, Seller will
deliver to Purchaser possession of the Real Property and Improvements, subject only to the Tenant
Leases and the Permitted Encumbrances.
Section 10.6 Costs of Title Company and Closing Costs. Costs of the Title Company and other Closing costs incurred in connection with the Closing will
be allocated as follows:
(a) Purchaser will pay (i) all premiums charged by the Title Company for endorsements and for
the deletion of the Survey Exception, if requested by Purchaser, (ii) all premiums and other costs
for any mortgagee policy of title insurance, including but not limited to any endorsements for any
mortgagee policy of title insurance; (iii) Purchaser’s attorneys’ fees; (iv) one-half (1/2) of any
and all transfer and deed recordation taxes relating to the conveyance of the Property from Seller
to Purchaser; and (v) one-half (1/2) of all of the Title Company’s escrow and closing fees, if any;
(b) Seller will pay (i) the premium for the Title Policy, but specifically excluding any
premium charged by the Title Company for endorsements and the deletion of the Survey Exception, as
requested by Purchaser; (ii) the cost of the Survey; (iii) one-half (1/2) of any and all transfer
and deed recordation taxes relating to the conveyance of the Property from Seller to Purchaser;
(iv) one-half (1/2) of all of the Title Company’s escrow and closing fees, if
34
any; (v) any fees
required to record a satisfaction, discharge or release of any lien or other encumbrances Seller is
required to discharge hereunder; (vi) any costs and expenses in connection with the transfer of any
Tenant Deposits held in the form of a letter of credit; and (vii) Seller’s attorneys’ fees; and
(c) Any other costs and expenses of Closing not provided for in this Section 10.6
shall be allocated between Purchaser and Seller in accordance with the custom in the county in
which the Real Property is located.
Section 10.7 Post-Closing Delivery of Tenant Notice Letters. Immediately following
Closing, Purchaser will deliver to each Tenant (via messenger or certified mail, return receipt
requested) a written notice executed by Purchaser and Seller in the form of Exhibit M (i)
acknowledging the sale of the Property to Purchaser, (ii) acknowledging that Purchaser has received
and is responsible for the Tenant Deposits (specifying the exact amount of the Tenant Deposits) and
(iii) indicating that rent should thereafter be paid to Purchaser and giving instructions therefor
(the “Tenant Notice Letters”). Purchaser shall provide to Seller a copy of each Tenant Notice
Letter promptly after delivery of same, and proof of delivery of same promptly after such proof is
available. This Section 10.7 shall survive Closing.
ARTICLE XI
BROKERAGE
Section 11.1 Brokers. Seller agrees to pay to CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Inc. (“Broker”) a real
estate commission with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property pursuant to a separate
agreement. Other than as stated in the first sentence of this Section 11.1, Purchaser and
Seller represent to the other that no real estate brokers, agents or finders’ fees or commissions
are due or will be due or arise in conjunction with the execution of this Agreement or consummation
of this transaction by reason of the acts of such party, and each of Purchaser and Seller will
indemnify, defend and hold the
other party harmless from any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission claimed by any person on
account of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby who is claiming by, through or
under the indemnifying party. The provisions of this Article XI will survive any Closing

Guaranty pursuant to which the Centex Corporation guarantees the obligations of Seller under

the limitations therein), 10.6, 11.1, 13.1 (subject to the limitations in Section
13.3), and 17.2.
ARTICLE XIII
REMEDIES
Section 13.1 Default by Seller. If Seller breaches this Agreement, Purchaser may, as
Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, elect either of the following: (a) terminate this
Agreement, in which event Purchaser will receive from the Title Company the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit
and be entitled to recover from Seller the amount of Purchaser’s out of pocket third party
35
costs
incurred in connection with this Agreement up to a maximum of One Hundred Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($100,000.00), whereupon Seller and Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations

enforce specific performance of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided

Purchaser’s remedies at law, in equity or as herein provided in the event of a breach by Seller of
any of the Closing Surviving Obligations or the Termination Surviving Obligations.
Section 13.2 Default by Purchaser. If Seller has complied with all of its covenants and
conditions contained herein in all material respects and is ready, willing and able to close in

reason of a default on Purchaser’s part, Purchaser and Seller agree and stipulate that (i) the harm
caused by the default of Purchaser is incapable or difficult of estimation, (ii) an amount equal to
the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit is a reasonable forecast of just compensation to Seller for a default of
Purchaser and is not a penalty, and (iii) such amount will be the full, agreed and liquidated
damages for Purchaser’s default and failure to complete the purchase of the Property, and will be
Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law or in equity) for any default of Purchaser
resulting in the failure of consummation of the Closing, whereupon this Agreement will terminate

ARTICLE XV
ASSIGNMENT AND BINDING EFFECT
Section 15.1 Assignment; Binding Effect. Purchaser shall have the right to assign this
Agreement to an Affiliate of Purchaser, provided Purchaser and such assignee shall execute an
Assignment of
Agreement of Sale and Purchase in the form of
Exhibit N attached hereto and
incorporated herein and Purchaser shall remain liable for all obligations of Purchaser hereunder.
Except as provided for in the immediately preceding sentences, Purchaser shall not assign its
rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent
of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld as long as Purchaser remains liable for
its obligations hereunder. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller
and Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other party will be
conferred any rights by virtue of this Agreement or be entitled to enforce any of the provisions
hereof. Whenever a reference is made
in this Agreement to Seller or Purchaser, such reference will include the successors and permitted
assigns of such party under this Agreement.
ARTICLE XVI
PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITED SURVIVAL OF
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
Section 16.1 Limited Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the representations
and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 8.1 of this Agreement will survive the Closing and
such survival shall extend only for a period of thirteen (13) months after the Closing. Purchaser
will not have any right to bring any action against Seller as a result of any untruth or
inaccuracy, or breach, of such representations and warranties under Section 8.1 unless and until
the aggregate amount of all liability and losses arising out of all such untruths, inaccuracies,
breaches or failures exceeds $25,000.00 (provided, however, if the same exceeds $25,000.00 Seller
shall be responsible for the initial $25,000.00 plus any amount in excess of such $25,000.00). In
addition, in no event will Seller’s liability for all such untruths, inaccuracies, breaches or
failures under Section 8.1 exceed in the aggregate $1,500,000.00. Further, Seller shall have no
liability with respect to any of Seller’s representations, warranties and covenants herein if,
prior to the Closing, Purchaser has actual knowledge of any breach of a covenant of Seller herein,
or Purchaser obtains actual knowledge that contradicts any of Seller’s representations and
warranties herein, and Purchaser nevertheless consummates the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement.
(b) The Closing Surviving Obligations (other than Seller’s representations and warranties set
forth in Section 8.1 of this Agreement) will survive Closing unless a specified period is
otherwise provided in this Agreement. All other representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements made or undertaken by Seller under this Agreement, unless otherwise specifically
provided herein, will not survive the Closing Date but will be merged into the Deed and other
Closing Documents delivered at the Closing. The Termination Surviving Obligations shall survive
termination of this Agreement unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement.
38
(c) The provisions of this Section 16.1 shall survive Closing
ARTICLE XVII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 17.1 Waivers. No waiver of any breach of any covenant or provisions contained
herein will be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, or of any other
covenant or provision contained herein. No extension of time for performance of any obligation or
act will be deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligation or act.
Section 17.2 Recovery of Certain Fees. In the event a party hereto files any action or
suit against another party hereto by reason of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements or
provisions contained in this Agreement, then in that event the prevailing party will be entitled to
have and recover of and from the other party all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs resulting
therefrom. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “attorneys’ fees” or “attorneys’ fees and
costs” shall mean all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the parties
hereto, which may include printing, photostating, duplicating and other expenses, air freight
charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals and other persons not admitted to the bar but
performing services under the supervision of an attorney, and the costs and fees incurred in
connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any such proceeding. The
provisions of this Section 17.2 shall survive the entry of any judgment, and shall not
merge, or be deemed to have merged, into any judgment.
Section 17.3 Time of Essence. Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that time
is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision
hereof.
Section 17.4 Construction. Headings at the beginning of each article and section are
solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Agreement. Whenever required
by the context of this Agreement, the singular will include the plural and the masculine will
include the feminine and vice versa. This Agreement will not be construed as if it had been
prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared the same. All exhibits
and schedules referred to in this Agreement are attached and incorporated by this reference, and
any capitalized term used in any exhibit or schedule which is not defined in such exhibit or
schedule will have the meaning attributable to such term in the body of this Agreement. In the
event the date on which Purchaser or Seller is required to take any action under the terms of this
Agreement is not a Business Day, the action will be taken on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 17.5 Counterparts. To facilitate execution of this Agreement, this Agreement may
be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when assembled to include an original
signature for each party contemplated to sign this Agreement, will constitute a complete and fully
executed original. All such fully executed original counterparts will collectively constitute a
single agreement.
Section 17.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid,
illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all of the other
39
conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, so
long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in
any adverse manner to either party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is
invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith
to modify this Agreement so as
to reflect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the
end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
Section 17.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the final expression of, and contains the
entire agreement between, the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all
prior understandings with respect thereto. This Agreement may not be modified, changed,
supplemented or terminated, nor may any obligations hereunder be waived, except by written
instrument, signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing, or as
otherwise expressly permitted herein.
Section 17.8 Governing Law; Venue. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED, PERFORMED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
TEXAS. DALLAS COUNTY,
TEXAS SHALL BE A PROPER
VENUE FOR ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO OR OTHERWISE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 17.9 No Recording. The parties hereto agree that neither this Agreement nor any
affidavit concerning it will be recorded.
Section 17.10 Further Actions. The parties agree to execute such instructions to the Title
Company and such other instruments and to do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary to
carry out the provisions of this Agreement. At and after Closing, the parties shall deliver to
each other any additional materials and documents which are necessary or appropriate to further
assure, complete and document the consummation of the purchase and sale contemplated in this
Agreement on the terms described. From and after Closing, each party shall afford to the other
reasonable access to any information in its possession concerning the operations of the Property
(including the right to copy the same at the expense of the party desiring the copy) for purposes
of ascertaining tax examinations or other similar purposes.
Section 17.11 No Other Inducements. The making, execution and delivery of this Agreement
by the parties hereto has been induced by no representations, statements, warranties or agreements
other than those expressly set forth herein.
Section 17.12 No Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to make the parties hereto partners or joint
venturers, it being the intention of the parties to merely create the relationship of seller and
purchaser with respect to the Property to be conveyed as contemplated hereby.
Section 17.13 Limitations on Benefits. It is the explicit intention of Purchaser and
Seller that no person or entity other than Purchaser and Seller and their successors and permitted
assigns is or shall be entitled to bring any action to enforce any provision of this Agreement
against any of the parties hereto, and the covenants, undertakings and agreements set forth in this
40
Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable only by, Purchaser and
Seller or their respective successors and assigns as permitted hereunder. Nothing contained in
this Agreement shall under any circumstances whatsoever be deemed or construed, or be interpreted,
as making any third party (including, without limitation, Broker) a beneficiary of any term or
provision of this Agreement or any instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto, and Purchaser
and Seller expressly reject any such intent, construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 17.14 Exculpation. Except for the liability of the Centex Corporation as
specifically provided in the Contract Guaranty, Centex Service Company Lease Guaranty and Centex

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of

SERVICE COMPANY, a Nevada corporation (“Tenant”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Centex Office Citymark I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (as “
Original

“
Lease”), with respect to approximately 157,450 Rentable Square Feet (the “
Premises”) in the office building commonly known as Citymark Office Building (the
“
Building”) located in Dallas,
Texas;
WHEREAS, as of the Effective Date hereof, Landlord purchased the Building from Original
Landlord and succeeded to all of Original Landlord’s right, title and interest in and to the Lease;
WHEREAS, Original Landlord and Tenant are Affiliates;
WHEREAS, as a condition to the purchase of the Building by Landlord, Landlord required that
Tenant amend the Lease to, among other things, extend the term of the Lease with respect to the CTX
Mortgage Space (as hereinafter defined); and
WHEREAS, Tenant agrees to amend the Lease to, among other things, extend the term of the
Lease with respect to the CTX Mortgage Space.
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained
herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged and confessed, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms.
The capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same
meaning as ascribed thereto in the Lease.
2. Paragraph 1, Minimum Rent. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary,
the Minimum Rent payable for the CTX Mortgage Space (as hereinafter defined)
J-1
during the lease year commencing December 1, 2008 shall not increase by two percent (2%), but
shall continue to be the Minimum Rent payable immediately prior to such lease year.
3. Extension of the Lease Term.
The initial Lease Term expires on November 30, 2009 (the “Original Expiration Date”).
Subject to the terms and provisions contained herein, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to extend
Lease Term with respect to the portion of the premises located on Floors 2 through 5, inclusive, of
the Building containing approximately 85,916 Rentable Square Feet and being more particularly

the extent of the Operating Costs (either Controllable Operating Expenses or non-Controllable
Operating Expenses) actually saved in such calendar year as the result of such capital
improvement. For purposes of calculating the Annual 5% Cap, the portion of the Permitted Capital
Improvement Costs for such year, if any, attributable to a savings of Controllable Operating
Expenses shall be taken into account, as well as any resulting savings during such year.”

and (b) the full, prompt and faithful performance of each and every obligation of Tenant under the
Lease. As used in this Lease Guaranty Agreement (this “Guaranty”), “Guaranteed Obligations” means

continue in full force and effect against Guarantor until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid and
performed in full. This Guaranty covers any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether
presently outstanding or arising subsequent to the date hereof. This Guaranty is binding upon and
enforceable against Guarantor, its successors and assigns.
Section 3. Representations and Warranties of Guarantor. Guarantor hereby represents
and warrants to Landlord that:
(i) Guarantor has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making
of this Guaranty;
(ii) Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed the books and records
regarding, the financial condition of Tenant; however, such Guarantor is not relying on such
financial condition as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty;
(iii) except as provided in that certain Agreement of Sale and Purchase dated of even
date herewith by and between Seller, as seller, and Landlord, as purchaser, neither Landlord
nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order
to induce such Guarantor to execute this Guaranty;
J-12
(iv) as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent
obligations evidenced hereby, Guarantor is, and will be, solvent, and has and will have
property and assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities and debts, and
has and will have property and assets in the State of Texas sufficient to satisfy and repay
its obligations, liabilities and debts;
(v) this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor;
(vi) neither this Guaranty nor the agreements contained herein contravene or constitute
a default or create or impose any lien, charge or encumbrance under any agreement,
instrument, indenture or similar instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which

(vii) there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or threatened against
Guarantor in any court or before any federal, state, municipal or other governmental
department or commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality which if adversely
determined will affect any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty.
Section 4. Waiver of Rights. Guarantor hereby waives (a) notice of acceptance hereof
(which acceptance is conclusively presumed by delivery to Landlord); (b) grace, demand, presentment
and protest with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or to any instrument, agreement or document
evidencing or creating same; (c) notice of grace, demand, presentment and protest; (d) notice of

Obligations except as specifically provided herein. Guarantor specifically waives any and all
rights and remedies to which Guarantor may be or become entitled under Chapter 34 of the Texas
Business and Commerce Code, under Sections 17.001 and 34.005 of the Texas Civil Practice and
Remedies Code and under Rule 31 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, and any and all other
defenses available to sureties or guarantors at law or in equity.
Section 5. Notice of Defaults. Landlord agrees that it will not exercise any
remedies under the Lease or this Guaranty following a Tenant default without having first given to
Guarantor: (a) written notice of the alleged Tenant default as required under the Lease, and (b)
the opportunity to cure such default for the same time period (if any) provided to Tenant under the
Lease. If Guarantor elects to cure any such default by Tenant, Landlord agrees to accept cure by
Guarantor as a cure of such default by Tenant under the Lease. The failure by Landlord to
simultaneously deliver a notice of default to Guarantor as provided herein shall not be deemed a
default by Landlord hereunder or a waiver of Landlord’s rights with respect to such default, but
shall delay the exercise of any remedy against Tenant or Guarantor until such time as Landlord has
given notice to Guarantor and the same time period provided to Tenant under the Lease (if any) to
cure such default.
J-13
Section 6. Release of Parties Liable, Renewals, etc. Guarantor agrees that Landlord
may at any time, and from time to time, at Landlord’s discretion, with or without consent from any
other party but with notice to Guarantor (but Guarantor’s consent shall not be required), extend,
renew, rearrange, modify or amend any of the terms and provisions of the Lease. Any extension,
renewal, rearrangement, modification or amendment may be taken without impairing or diminishing the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder, provided, however, in the event any extension, renewal,
rearrangement, modification or amendment increases the obligations of Guarantor hereunder,
Guarantor’s prior written consent to such extension, renewal, rearrangement, modification or
amendment shall be required solely as a condition to Guarantor’s liability for the increase in the
Guaranteed Obligations. In the event Guarantor’s consent is not obtained, Guarantor shall not be
liable for any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such extension, renewal,
rearrangement, modification or amendment, but the same shall still be effective as to Tenant and
Guarantor shall remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations existing prior to such extension,
renewal, rearrangement, modification or amendment. Guarantor further agrees that Landlord may from
ay any time, and from time to time, at Landlord’s discretion, with our without consent from any
other party, release any party liable on the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation,
Tenant or any other guarantor. Additionally, the liability of Guarantor shall not be impaired,
reduced or in any way affected by: (v) Landlord’s failure, refusal, or neglect to collect or
enforce the Guaranteed Obligations, by way of, without limitation, any indulgence, forbearance,
compromise, settlement or waiver of performance which may be extended to Tenant by Landlord or
agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant; (w) any termination of the Lease; (x) any sublease of the space
covered by the Lease or any assignment of the Lease by any means or to any entity or person
whatsoever so long as Landlord does not voluntarily release Tenant from liability under the Lease
without Guarantor’s consent; (y) loss or subordination of any other guaranty, if any, or by the
existence of any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than the Guaranteed Obligations; or (z)
the taking of any security or any other guaranty for the Guaranteed Obligations in addition to the
guaranty presently existing.
Section 7.
Primary Liability of Guarantor. This Guaranty constitutes a primary
obligation of Guarantor. This is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty
of payment and performance and not of collection and is in no way conditioned upon any attempt to
collect from Tenant or upon any other event or contingency. Guarantor agrees that Landlord is not
required, as a condition to establishing Guarantor’s liability hereunder, to proceed against any
person (including, without limitation, Tenant or any other guarantor), and further agrees not to
assert any defense (other than payment) available to Tenant against Landlord with regard to the
Guaranteed Obligations, any defense based upon an election of remedies of any type, any defense
based on any duty of Landlord to disclose information of any type to Guarantor regarding Tenant or
the Guaranteed Obligations, and/or any claim that Guarantor may have against Landlord by virtue of
Landlord’s failure to exercise any rights against Tenant, however arising. Guarantor hereby
expressly waives any right or claim to force Landlord to proceed first against Tenant or any other
guarantor as to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or other obligations of Tenant, and agrees that
no delay or refusal of Landlord to exercise any right or privilege which Landlord has or may have
against Tenant, whether arising from any documents executed by Tenant, any common law, applicable
statute or otherwise, shall operate to impair the liability of Guarantor hereunder. The
obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be reduced,
J-14
impaired or in any way affected by: (a) receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceedings
affecting Tenant or any of Tenant’s assets; (b) receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other
proceedings affecting Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s assets; (c) death, insanity or other
disability of Guarantor; (d) any allegation of fraud, usury, failure of consideration, forgery or
other defense, whether or not known to Landlord (even though rendering all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations void or unenforceable or uncollectible as against Tenant or any other
guarantor); or (e) the release or discharge of Tenant from the Lease or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any other indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord or from the performance of any
obligation contained in the Lease or other instrument issued in connection with, evidencing or
securing any indebtedness guaranteed by this instrument, whether occurring by reason of law or any
other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing. This Guaranty shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Landlord upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of Tenant or otherwise.
Landlord may at any time, without the consent of or notice to Guarantor, without incurring
responsibility to the undersigned, without impairing or releasing the obligations of the
undersigned, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part: (w) change the
manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, renew or alter any
liability of Tenant hereby guaranteed, or any liabilities incurred directly or indirectly
hereunder, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the liabilities of Tenant as any of such
liabilities may be changed, extended, renewed or altered in any manner; (x) exercise or refrain
from exercising any rights against Tenant or others, or otherwise act or refrain from acting; (y)
settle or compromise any liabilities hereby guaranteed or hereby incurred, and subordinate the
payment of all or any part of such liabilities to the payment of any liabilities which may be due
to Landlord or others; and (z) apply any sums paid to any liability or liabilities of Tenant to
Landlord regardless of what liability or liabilities of Tenant to Landlord remain unpaid.
Section 8. Subordination and Waiver of Subrogation. Once a claim is made by Landlord
to Guarantor under the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor hereby fully subordinates the payment of
all indebtedness owing to such Guarantor by Tenant (including principal and interest) to the prior
payment of all indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord (including, without limitation, interest accruing
on any such indebtedness after any insolvency or reorganization proceeding as to Tenant) and agrees
(x) not to accept any payment on such indebtedness until payment and performance in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and (y) not to attempt to set off or reduce any obligations hereunder
because of such indebtedness. After a claim has been made by Landlord to Guarantor under the
Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation or any other right to enforce
any remedy which Landlord now has or may hereafter have against Tenant until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been paid or performed in full.
Section 9.
Place of Performance; Attorneys’ Fees. All payments to be made and
obligations to be performed hereunder shall be payable or performable in the location for payment
or performance (as applicable) set forth in the Lease. If it becomes necessary for Landlord to
enforce this Guaranty by legal action, Guarantor hereby waives the right to be sued in the county
or state of such Guarantor’s residence and agrees to submit to the jurisdiction and
J-15
venue of the appropriate federal, state or other governmental court in Dallas County, Texas. In
the event of any action or proceeding at law or in equity between Landlord and Guarantor, the
prevailing party, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, shall be entitled to recover
from the unsuccessful party all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in such action or proceeding and in any appeal in
connection therewith by such prevailing party.
Section 10. Additional Liability of Guarantor. If Guarantor is or becomes liable for
any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than the Guaranteed Obligations by any means other
than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be impaired, reduced or affected in any manner
hereby but shall have all and the same force and effect it would have had if this Guaranty had not
existed, and Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not be impaired, reduced or affected in any
manner thereby.
Section 11. Cumulative Rights. All rights of Landlord hereunder or otherwise arising
under any documents executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations are separate and
cumulative and may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently, or not pursued, without
affecting or limiting any other right of Landlord and without affecting or impairing the liability
of Guarantor.
Section 12. Applicable Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas, and is intended to
be performed in accordance with and as permitted by such laws.
Section 13. Usury. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein contained, no
provision of this Guaranty shall require or permit the collection from Guarantor of interest in
excess of the maximum rate or amount that Guarantor may be required or permitted to pay to Landlord
pursuant to applicable law and as to which Guarantor could successfully assert the claim or defense
of usury.
Section 14. Landlord’s Assigns. This Guaranty is intended for and shall inure to the
benefit of Landlord and each and every person who shall from time to time be or become the owner or
holders of all or any part of the Lease and/or the Guaranteed Obligations, and each and every
reference herein to “Landlord” shall include and refer to each and every successor or assignee of
Landlord at any time holding or owning any part of or interest in any part of the Lease and/or the
Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall be assignable or transferable with the same force and
effect, and to the same extent, that the Lease and/or the Guaranteed Obligations are assignable or
transferable, it being understood and stipulated that upon assignment or transfer by Landlord of
the Lease and/or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the legal holder or owner thereof (or a part
thereof or interest therein thus transferred or assigned) shall (except as otherwise stipulated by
Landlord in its assignment) have and may exercise all of the rights granted to Landlord under this
Guaranty to the extent of that part of or interest in the Guaranteed Obligations thus assigned or
transferred.
J-16
Section 15. Notices. Any notice or demand to Guarantor in connection herewith may
be given and shall conclusively be deemed to have been given and received upon deposit thereof in
writing in the United States mail, certified mail, return receipt requested, duly stamped and
addressed to such Guarantor at the following address:
|
|
|
|
|
Centex Corporation |
|
|
0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx |
|
|
Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000-0000 |
|
|
Attn: Xxxxx Xxxxx |
Guarantor shall have the right to designate from time to time another address for purposes of this
instrument by fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Landlord sent by United States mail,
certified mail, return receipt requested. Actual notice or demand, however given or received,
shall always be effective. The provisions of this Section 15 shall not be construed to affect or
impair any waiver of notice or demand herein provided or to require giving of notice or demand to
or upon Guarantor in any situation or for any reason.
Section 16. Payments. Landlord may apply any payments received from any source
against that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations in such priority and fashion as Landlord may
deem appropriate.
Section 17. No Right of Possession Upon Payment. The payment by Guarantor of any
amount pursuant to this Guaranty shall not, without Landlord’s consent, entitle Guarantor (whether
by way of subrogation or otherwise) to a right of possession of, or to any other right, title or
interest in, the premises covered by the Lease.
Section 18. Entire Agreement. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior correspondence, memoranda,
agreements or understandings (written or oral) with respect hereto are merged into and superseded
by this Guaranty. This Guaranty may not be changed, modified, discharged or terminated in any
manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by Guarantor and Landlord.
Section 19. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in
this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the other provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.
Section 20. Further Instruments. Guarantor hereby agrees to execute all such further
instruments as are reasonably requested by Landlord to further evidence or protect the rights of
Landlord under this Guaranty.

to require Purchaser to (i) proceed against Seller with respect to the Guaranteed Sections; (ii)
proceed against or exhaust any security of Seller held by Purchaser; or (iii) pursue any other
remedy whatsoever in Purchaser’s power.
(3) Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:
(a) as of the date hereof, it directly or indirectly has invested in or controls
Seller;
(b) based upon such relationship, Guarantor has determined that it has received, or
will receive, a direct or indirect benefit from making this Guaranty; and
(c) this Guaranty has been duly executed by Guarantor and constitutes Guarantor’s
legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its
terms.
(4) Except as expressly provided herein, Guarantor hereby expressly waives any right of setoff
or compensation against amounts due under this Guaranty and waives all notice of nonperformance,
nonpayment or nonobservance on the part of Seller of the terms, covenants, conditions and
provisions of the Guaranteed Sections.
R-1
(5) Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that Purchaser may at any time, and from time to
time, with prior notice to, but without requiring consent from, Guarantor, modify the terms of the
Agreement or the Guaranteed Sections. No action which Purchaser shall take or fail to take (with
or without Guarantor’s consent) in connection with the Agreement, nor any course of dealing with
Seller or any other person, shall release Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, affect this Guaranty
in any way or afford Guarantor any recourse against Purchaser.
(6) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the liability of Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall not be deemed to have been waived, released, discharged, impaired or affected by
reason of any waiver or failure to enforce any of the obligations of Seller against Seller under
the Guaranteed Sections or any discharge of Seller in any receivership, bankruptcy, winding-up or
other creditors’ proceedings or the rejection, disaffirmance or disclaimer of the Guaranteed
Sections by any party in any action or proceeding, and shall continue with respect to the periods
prior thereto and thereafter; subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 16.1 of the
Agreement. Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment on any of the Guaranteed Sections is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Purchaser on the bankruptcy or reorganization of Seller.
(7) This Guaranty shall be one of payment and not of collection. All of the terms, agreements
and conditions of this Guaranty shall extend to and be binding upon Guarantor and its successors
(however, Guarantor may not assign its obligations under this Guaranty in whole or in part), and
shall inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by Purchaser and its successors and assigns.
(8) Once a claim is made by Purchaser to Guarantor under the Guaranteed Sections, any
indebtedness of Seller now or hereafter held by Guarantor, including but not limited to any right
to reimbursement of amounts paid by Guarantor hereunder, is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness
of Seller and Guarantor to Purchaser.
(9) If any provision or its application to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions, or the application of such provision to persons or
circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected.
This Guaranty contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to such subject matter and cannot be amended or
supplemented, except by a written agreement signed by the parties hereto. This Guaranty may be
executed in counterparts which together shall constitute the same instrument. This Guaranty shall
be construed in accordance with the internal laws, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of
Texas applicable to agreements made and to be performed in such state.
(10) All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder will be in writing,
and will be given by (a) personal delivery, or (b) professional expedited delivery service with
proof of delivery, or (c) if being sent to an addressee in the United States, United States mail,
postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (d) facsimile (provided
that such facsimile is confirmed by the sender by personal delivery or expedited delivery service
in the manner previously described), sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth below,
or to such other address or to the attention of such other person as the
R-2
addressee will have designated by written notice sent in accordance herewith and will be
deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery, or, in the case of expedited
delivery service or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery on a Business Day (as defined
in the Agreement) at the applicable address, or, in the case of facsimile transmission, upon
receipt if on a Business Day and, if not on a Business Day, on the next Business Day. The address
of Purchaser is as set forth for Purchaser in the Agreement, and the address for Guarantor is in
care of Seller, as set forth in the Agreement.
(11) In the event of any action or proceeding at law or in equity between Purchaser and
Guarantor, the prevailing party, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, shall be
entitled to recover from the unsuccessful party all reasonable costs and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in such action or proceeding
and in any appeal in connection therewith by such prevailing party.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor has caused this Guaranty to be duly executed and delivered as of
the ___ day of , 2005.

(“Guarantor”), hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Landlord and its successors or
assigns (a) the full and punctual payment when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of all
sums (including, without limitation, payment of rent, late charges, additional rent [however termed
or defined], court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all other sums) due and owing or
to become due and owing by Centex Service Company, a Nevada corporation (“Tenant”) under that
certain Lease Agreement dated November 17, 1999, entered into by and between Centex Office Citymark
I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Seller”), and Tenant covering approximately 157,450
Rentable Square Feet (as defined therein) in the Building, together with that certain First
Amendment to Office Lease dated of even date herewith, by and between Landlord and Tenant (which,
among other things, extends the Lease term with respect to 85,916 Rentable Square Feet), and any
and all other extensions or renewals thereof and amendments and modifications thereto (the “Lease”)
and (b) the full, prompt and faithful performance of each and every obligation of Tenant under the
Lease. As used in this Lease Guaranty Agreement (this “Guaranty”), “Guaranteed Obligations” means
all obligations and indebtedness of Tenant guaranteed by Guarantor in this Section 1.
Section 2. Term. The obligations of Guarantor as to the Guaranteed Obligations shall
continue in full force and effect against Guarantor until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid and
performed in full. This Guaranty covers any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether
presently outstanding or arising subsequent to the date hereof. This Guaranty is binding upon and
enforceable against Guarantor, its successors and assigns.
Section 3. Representations and Warranties of Guarantor. Guarantor hereby represents
and warrants to Landlord that:
(i) Guarantor has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making
of this Guaranty;
(ii) Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed the books and records
regarding, the financial condition of Tenant; however, such Guarantor is not relying on such
financial condition as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty;
(iii) except as provided in that certain Agreement of Sale and Purchase dated of even
date herewith by and between Seller, as seller, and Landlord, as purchaser,
X-1
neither Landlord nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to
Guarantor in order to induce such Guarantor to execute this Guaranty;
(iv) as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent
obligations evidenced hereby, Guarantor is, and will be, solvent, and has and will have
property and assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities and debts, and
has and will have property and assets in the State of Texas sufficient to satisfy and repay
its obligations, liabilities and debts;
(v) this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor;
(vi) neither this Guaranty nor the agreements contained herein contravene or constitute
a default or create or impose any lien, charge or encumbrance under any agreement,
instrument, indenture or similar instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which
its assets are bound or any other requirement of law; and
(vii) there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or threatened against
Guarantor in any court or before any federal, state, municipal or other governmental
department or commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality which if adversely
determined will affect any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty.
Section 4. Waiver of Rights. Guarantor hereby waives (a) notice of acceptance hereof
(which acceptance is conclusively presumed by delivery to Landlord); (b) grace, demand, presentment
and protest with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or to any instrument, agreement or document
evidencing or creating same; (c) notice of grace, demand, presentment and protest; (d) notice of
intention to accelerate and of acceleration of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) notice of and/or any
right to consent or object to the assignment of any interest in the Lease or the Guaranteed
Obligations; (f) notice of the filing of suit and diligence by Landlord in collection or
enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (g) any other notice regarding the Guaranteed
Obligations except as specifically provided herein. Guarantor specifically waives any and all
rights and remedies to which Guarantor may be or become entitled under Chapter 34 of the Texas
Business and Commerce Code, under Sections 17.001 and 34.005 of the Texas Civil Practice and
Remedies Code and under Rule 31 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, and any and all other
defenses available to sureties or guarantors at law or in equity.
Section 5. Notice of Defaults. Landlord agrees that it will not exercise any
remedies under the Lease or this Guaranty following a Tenant default without having first given to
Guarantor: (a) written notice of the alleged Tenant default as required under the Lease, and (b)
the opportunity to cure such default for the same time period (if any) provided to Tenant under the
Lease. If Guarantor elects to cure any such default by Tenant, Landlord agrees to accept cure by
Guarantor as a cure of such default by Tenant under the Lease. The failure by Landlord to
simultaneously deliver a notice of default to Guarantor as provided herein shall not be deemed a
default by Landlord hereunder or a waiver of Landlord’s rights with respect to such default, but
shall delay the exercise of any remedy against Tenant or Guarantor until such time as Landlord
X-2
has given notice to Guarantor and the same time period provided to Tenant under the Lease (if any)
to cure such default.
Section 6. Release of Parties Liable, Renewals, etc. Guarantor agrees that Landlord
may at any time, and from time to time, at Landlord’s discretion, with or without consent from any
other party but with notice to Guarantor (but Guarantor’s consent shall not be required), extend,
renew, rearrange, modify or amend any of the terms and provisions of the Lease. Any extension,
renewal, rearrangement, modification or amendment may be taken without impairing or diminishing the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder, provided, however, in the event any extension, renewal,
rearrangement, modification or amendment increases the obligations of Guarantor hereunder,
Guarantor’s prior written consent to such extension, renewal, rearrangement, modification or
amendment shall be required solely as a condition to Guarantor’s liability for the increase in the
Guaranteed Obligations. In the event Guarantor’s consent is not obtained, Guarantor shall not be
liable for any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such extension, renewal,
rearrangement, modification or amendment, but the same shall still be effective as to Tenant and
Guarantor shall remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations existing prior to such extension,
renewal, rearrangement, modification or amendment. Guarantor further agrees that Landlord may from
ay any time, and from time to time, at Landlord’s discretion, with our without consent from any
other party, release any party liable on the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation,
Tenant or any other guarantor. Additionally, the liability of Guarantor shall not be impaired,
reduced or in any way affected by: (v) Landlord’s failure, refusal, or neglect to collect or
enforce the Guaranteed Obligations, by way of, without limitation, any indulgence, forbearance,
compromise, settlement or waiver of performance which may be extended to Tenant by Landlord or
agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant; (w) any termination of the Lease; (x) any sublease of the space
covered by the Lease or any assignment of the Lease by any means or to any entity or person
whatsoever so long as Landlord does not voluntarily release Tenant from liability under the Lease
without Guarantor’s consent; (y) loss or subordination of any other guaranty, if any, or by the
existence of any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than the Guaranteed Obligations; or (z)
the taking of any security or any other guaranty for the Guaranteed Obligations in addition to the
guaranty presently existing.
Section 7. Primary Liability of Guarantor. This Guaranty constitutes a primary
obligation of Guarantor. This is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty
of payment and performance and not of collection and is in no way conditioned upon any attempt to
collect from Tenant or upon any other event or contingency. Guarantor agrees that Landlord is not
required, as a condition to establishing Guarantor’s liability hereunder, to proceed against any
person (including, without limitation, Tenant or any other guarantor), and further agrees not to
assert any defense (other than payment) available to Tenant against Landlord with regard to the
Guaranteed Obligations, any defense based upon an election of remedies of any type, any defense
based on any duty of Landlord to disclose information of any type to Guarantor regarding Tenant or
the Guaranteed Obligations, and/or any claim that Guarantor may have against Landlord by virtue of
Landlord’s failure to exercise any rights against Tenant, however arising. Guarantor hereby
expressly waives any right or claim to force Landlord to proceed first against Tenant or any other
guarantor as to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or other obligations of Tenant, and agrees that
no delay or refusal of Landlord to exercise any right or
X-3
privilege which Landlord has or may have against Tenant, whether arising from any documents
executed by Tenant, any common law, applicable statute or otherwise, shall operate to impair the
liability of Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be reduced,
impaired or in any way affected by: (a) receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceedings
affecting Tenant or any of Tenant’s assets; (b) receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other
proceedings affecting Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s assets; (c) death, insanity or other
disability of Guarantor; (d) any allegation of fraud, usury, failure of consideration, forgery or
other defense, whether or not known to Landlord (even though rendering all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations void or unenforceable or uncollectible as against Tenant or any other
guarantor); or (e) the release or discharge of Tenant from the Lease or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any other indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord or from the performance of any
obligation contained in the Lease or other instrument issued in connection with, evidencing or
securing any indebtedness guaranteed by this instrument, whether occurring by reason of law or any
other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing. This Guaranty shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Landlord upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of Tenant or otherwise.
Landlord may at any time, without the consent of or notice to Guarantor, without incurring
responsibility to the undersigned, without impairing or releasing the obligations of the
undersigned, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part: (w) change the
manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, renew or alter any
liability of Tenant hereby guaranteed, or any liabilities incurred directly or indirectly
hereunder, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the liabilities of Tenant as any of such
liabilities may be changed, extended, renewed or altered in any manner; (x) exercise or refrain
from exercising any rights against Tenant or others, or otherwise act or refrain from acting; (y)
settle or compromise any liabilities hereby guaranteed or hereby incurred, and subordinate the
payment of all or any part of such liabilities to the payment of any liabilities which may be due
to Landlord or others; and (z) apply any sums paid to any liability or liabilities of Tenant to
Landlord regardless of what liability or liabilities of Tenant to Landlord remain unpaid.
Section 8. Subordination and Waiver of Subrogation. Once a claim is made by Landlord
to Guarantor under the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor hereby fully subordinates the payment of
all indebtedness owing to such Guarantor by Tenant (including principal and interest) to the prior
payment of all indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord (including, without limitation, interest accruing
on any such indebtedness after any insolvency or reorganization proceeding as to Tenant) and agrees
(x) not to accept any payment on such indebtedness until payment and performance in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and (y) not to attempt to set off or reduce any obligations hereunder
because of such indebtedness. After a claim has been made by Landlord to Guarantor under the
Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation or any other right to enforce
any remedy which Landlord now has or may hereafter have against Tenant until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been paid or performed in full.
Section 9. Place of Performance; Attorneys’ Fees. All payments to be made and
obligations to be performed hereunder shall be payable or performable in the location for
X-4
payment or performance (as applicable) set forth in the Lease. If it becomes necessary for
Landlord to enforce this Guaranty by legal action, Guarantor hereby waives the right to be sued in
the county or state of such Guarantor’s residence and agrees to submit to the jurisdiction and
venue of the appropriate federal, state or other governmental court in Dallas County, Texas. In
the event of any action or proceeding at law or in equity between Landlord and Guarantor, the
prevailing party, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, shall be entitled to recover
from the unsuccessful party all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in such action or proceeding and in any appeal in
connection therewith by such prevailing party.
Section 10. Additional Liability of Guarantor. If Guarantor is or becomes liable for
any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than the Guaranteed Obligations by any means other
than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be impaired, reduced or affected in any manner
hereby but shall have all and the same force and effect it would have had if this Guaranty had not
existed, and Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not be impaired, reduced or affected in any
manner thereby.
Section 11. Cumulative Rights. All rights of Landlord hereunder or otherwise arising
under any documents executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations are separate and
cumulative and may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently, or not pursued, without
affecting or limiting any other right of Landlord and without affecting or impairing the liability
of Guarantor.
Section 12. Applicable Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas, and is intended to
be performed in accordance with and as permitted by such laws.
Section 13. Usury. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein contained, no
provision of this Guaranty shall require or permit the collection from Guarantor of interest in
excess of the maximum rate or amount that Guarantor may be required or permitted to pay to Landlord
pursuant to applicable law and as to which Guarantor could successfully assert the claim or defense
of usury.
Section 14. Landlord’s Assigns. This Guaranty is intended for and shall inure to the
benefit of Landlord and each and every person who shall from time to time be or become the owner or
holders of all or any part of the Lease and/or the Guaranteed Obligations, and each and every
reference herein to “Landlord” shall include and refer to each and every successor or assignee of
Landlord at any time holding or owning any part of or interest in any part of the Lease and/or the
Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall be assignable or transferable with the same force and
effect, and to the same extent, that the Lease and/or the Guaranteed Obligations are assignable or
transferable, it being understood and stipulated that upon assignment or transfer by Landlord of
the Lease and/or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the legal holder or owner thereof (or a part
thereof or interest therein thus transferred or assigned) shall (except as otherwise stipulated by
Landlord in its assignment) have and may exercise all of the rights granted to Landlord under this
Guaranty to the extent of that part of or interest in the Guaranteed Obligations thus assigned or
transferred.

Section 15. Notices. Any notice or demand to Guarantor in connection herewith may be

Section 16. Payments. Landlord may apply any payments received from any source
against that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations in such priority and fashion as Landlord may

by way of subrogation or otherwise) to a right of possession of, or to any other right, title or
interest in, the premises covered by the Lease.
Section 18. Entire Agreement. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior correspondence, memoranda,

EXHIBIT Y
FORM OF CENTEX CONSTRUCTION GROUP LEASE GUARANTY
LEASE GUARANTY AGREEMENT
Section 1. Guaranty. For value received, and in order to induce ,
a (“Landlord”), to purchase that certain office building located at 0000
XxXxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, commonly known as Citymark Office Building (the “Building”), Centex
Corporation, a Nevada corporation, with a principal place of business in Dallas, Texas
(“Guarantor”), hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Landlord and its successors or
assigns (a) the full and punctual payment when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of all
sums (including, without limitation, payment of rent, late charges, additional rent [however termed
or defined], court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all other sums) due and owing or
to become due and owing by Centex Construction Group Services, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company (“Tenant”) under that certain Lease Agreement dated June 5, 2003, entered into by and
between Centex Office Citymark I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Seller”), and Tenant, as
amended by (i) that certain First Amendment to Lease dated June 27, 2005, by and between Landlord
and Tenant (which, among other things, expanded the leased premises), and (ii) that certain Second
Amendment to Lease dated of even date herewith, by and between Landlord and Tenant, together with
any and all other extensions or renewals thereof and amendments and modifications thereto (the
“Lease”) and (b) the full, prompt and faithful performance of each and every obligation of Tenant
under the Lease. As used in this Lease Guaranty Agreement (this “Guaranty”), “Guaranteed
Obligations” means all obligations and indebtedness of Tenant guaranteed by Guarantor in this
Section 1.
Section 2. Term. The obligations of Guarantor as to the Guaranteed Obligations shall
continue in full force and effect against Guarantor until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid and
performed in full. This Guaranty covers any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether
presently outstanding or arising subsequent to the date hereof. This Guaranty is binding upon and
enforceable against Guarantor, its successors and assigns.
Section 3. Representations and Warranties of Guarantor. Guarantor hereby represents
and warrants to Landlord that:
(i) Guarantor has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making
of this Guaranty;
(ii) Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed the books and records
regarding, the financial condition of Tenant; however, such Guarantor is not relying on such
financial condition as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty;
(iii) except as provided in that certain Agreement of Sale and Purchase dated of even
date herewith by and between Seller, as seller, and Landlord, as purchaser,
Y-1
neither Landlord nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to
Guarantor in order to induce such Guarantor to execute this Guaranty;
(iv) as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent
obligations evidenced hereby, Guarantor is, and will be, solvent, and has and will have
property and assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities and debts, and
has and will have property and assets in the State of Texas sufficient to satisfy and repay
its obligations, liabilities and debts;
(v) this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor;
(vi) neither this Guaranty nor the agreements contained herein contravene or constitute
a default or create or impose any lien, charge or encumbrance under any agreement,
instrument, indenture or similar instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which
its assets are bound or any other requirement of law; and
(vii) there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or threatened against
Guarantor in any court or before any federal, state, municipal or other governmental
department or commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality which if adversely
determined will affect any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty.
Section 4. Waiver of Rights. Guarantor hereby waives (a) notice of acceptance hereof
(which acceptance is conclusively presumed by delivery to Landlord); (b) grace, demand, presentment
and protest with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or to any instrument, agreement or document
evidencing or creating same; (c) notice of grace, demand, presentment and protest; (d) notice of
intention to accelerate and of acceleration of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) notice of and/or any
right to consent or object to the assignment of any interest in the Lease or the Guaranteed
Obligations; (f) notice of the filing of suit and diligence by Landlord in collection or
enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (g) any other notice regarding the Guaranteed
Obligations except as specifically provided herein. Guarantor specifically waives any and all
rights and remedies to which Guarantor may be or become entitled under Chapter 34 of the Texas
Business and Commerce Code, under Sections 17.001 and 34.005 of the Texas Civil Practice and
Remedies Code and under Rule 31 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, and any and all other
defenses available to sureties or guarantors at law or in equity.
Section 5. Notice of Defaults. Landlord agrees that it will not exercise any
remedies under the Lease or this Guaranty following a Tenant default without having first given to
Guarantor: (a) written notice of the alleged Tenant default as required under the Lease, and (b)
the opportunity to cure such default for the same time period (if any) provided to Tenant under the
Lease. If Guarantor elects to cure any such default by Tenant, Landlord agrees to accept cure by
Guarantor as a cure of such default by Tenant under the Lease. The failure by Landlord to
simultaneously deliver a notice of default to Guarantor as provided herein shall not be deemed a
default by Landlord hereunder or a waiver of Landlord’s rights with respect to such default, but
shall delay the exercise of any remedy against Tenant or Guarantor until such time as Landlord
Y-2
has given notice to Guarantor and the same time period provided to Tenant under the Lease (if any)
to cure such default.
Section 6. Release of Parties Liable, Renewals, etc. Guarantor agrees that Landlord
may at any time, and from time to time, at Landlord’s discretion, with or without consent from any
other party but with notice to Guarantor (but Guarantor’s consent shall not be required), extend,
renew, rearrange, modify or amend any of the terms and provisions of the Lease. Any extension,
renewal, rearrangement, modification or amendment may be taken without impairing or diminishing the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder, provided, however, in the event any extension, renewal,
rearrangement, modification or amendment increases the obligations of Guarantor hereunder,
Guarantor’s prior written consent to such extension, renewal, rearrangement, modification or
amendment shall be required solely as a condition to Guarantor’s liability for the increase in the
Guaranteed Obligations. In the event Guarantor’s consent is not obtained, Guarantor shall not be
liable for any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such extension, renewal,
rearrangement, modification or amendment, but the same shall still be effective as to Tenant and
Guarantor shall remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations existing prior to such extension,
renewal, rearrangement, modification or amendment. Guarantor further agrees that Landlord may from
ay any time, and from time to time, at Landlord’s discretion, with our without consent from any
other party, release any party liable on the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation,
Tenant or any other guarantor. Additionally, the liability of Guarantor shall not be impaired,
reduced or in any way affected by: (v) Landlord’s failure, refusal, or neglect to collect or
enforce the Guaranteed Obligations, by way of, without limitation, any indulgence, forbearance,
compromise, settlement or waiver of performance which may be extended to Tenant by Landlord or
agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant; (w) any termination of the Lease; (x) any sublease of the space
covered by the Lease or any assignment of the Lease by any means or to any entity or person
whatsoever so long as Landlord does not voluntarily release Tenant from liability under the Lease
without Guarantor’s consent; (y) loss or subordination of any other guaranty, if any, or by the
existence of any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than the Guaranteed Obligations; or (z)
the taking of any security or any other guaranty for the Guaranteed Obligations in addition to the
guaranty presently existing.
Section 7. Primary Liability of Guarantor. This Guaranty constitutes a primary
obligation of Guarantor. This is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty
of payment and performance and not of collection and is in no way conditioned upon any attempt to
collect from Tenant or upon any other event or contingency. Guarantor agrees that Landlord is not
required, as a condition to establishing Guarantor’s liability hereunder, to proceed against any
person (including, without limitation, Tenant or any other guarantor), and further agrees not to
assert any defense (other than payment) available to Tenant against Landlord with regard to the
Guaranteed Obligations, any defense based upon an election of remedies of any type, any defense
based on any duty of Landlord to disclose information of any type to Guarantor regarding Tenant or
the Guaranteed Obligations, and/or any claim that Guarantor may have against Landlord by virtue of
Landlord’s failure to exercise any rights against Tenant, however arising. Guarantor hereby
expressly waives any right or claim to force Landlord to proceed first against Tenant or any other
guarantor as to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or other obligations of Tenant, and agrees that
no delay or refusal of Landlord to exercise any right or
Y-3
privilege which Landlord has or may have against Tenant, whether arising from any documents
executed by Tenant, any common law, applicable statute or otherwise, shall operate to impair the
liability of Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be reduced,
impaired or in any way affected by: (a) receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceedings
affecting Tenant or any of Tenant’s assets; (b) receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other
proceedings affecting Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s assets; (c) death, insanity or other
disability of Guarantor; (d) any allegation of fraud, usury, failure of consideration, forgery or
other defense, whether or not known to Landlord (even though rendering all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations void or unenforceable or uncollectible as against Tenant or any other
guarantor); or (e) the release or discharge of Tenant from the Lease or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any other indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord or from the performance of any
obligation contained in the Lease or other instrument issued in connection with, evidencing or
securing any indebtedness guaranteed by this instrument, whether occurring by reason of law or any
other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing. This Guaranty shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Landlord upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of Tenant or otherwise.
Landlord may at any time, without the consent of or notice to Guarantor, without incurring
responsibility to the undersigned, without impairing or releasing the obligations of the
undersigned, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part: (w) change the
manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, renew or alter any
liability of Tenant hereby guaranteed, or any liabilities incurred directly or indirectly
hereunder, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the liabilities of Tenant as any of such
liabilities may be changed, extended, renewed or altered in any manner; (x) exercise or refrain
from exercising any rights against Tenant or others, or otherwise act or refrain from acting; (y)
settle or compromise any liabilities hereby guaranteed or hereby incurred, and subordinate the
payment of all or any part of such liabilities to the payment of any liabilities which may be due
to Landlord or others; and (z) apply any sums paid to any liability or liabilities of Tenant to
Landlord regardless of what liability or liabilities of Tenant to Landlord remain unpaid.
Section 8. Subordination and Waiver of Subrogation. Once a claim is made by Landlord
to Guarantor under the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor hereby fully subordinates the payment of
all indebtedness owing to such Guarantor by Tenant (including principal and interest) to the prior
payment of all indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord (including, without limitation, interest accruing
on any such indebtedness after any insolvency or reorganization proceeding as to Tenant) and agrees
(x) not to accept any payment on such indebtedness until payment and performance in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and (y) not to attempt to set off or reduce any obligations hereunder
because of such indebtedness. After a claim has been made by Landlord to Guarantor under the
Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation or any other right to enforce
any remedy which Landlord now has or may hereafter have against Tenant until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been paid or performed in full.
Section 9. Place of Performance; Attorneys’ Fees. All payments to be made and
obligations to be performed hereunder shall be payable or performable in the location for
Y-4
payment or performance (as applicable) set forth in the Lease. If it becomes necessary for
Landlord to enforce this Guaranty by legal action, Guarantor hereby waives the right to be sued in
the county or state of such Guarantor’s residence and agrees to submit to the jurisdiction and
venue of the appropriate federal, state or other governmental court in Dallas County, Texas. In
the event of any action or proceeding at law or in equity between Landlord and Guarantor, the
prevailing party, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, shall be entitled to recover
from the unsuccessful party all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in such action or proceeding and in any appeal in
connection therewith by such prevailing party.
Section 10. Additional Liability of Guarantor. If Guarantor is or becomes liable for
any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than the Guaranteed Obligations by any means other
than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be impaired, reduced or affected in any manner
hereby but shall have all and the same force and effect it would have had if this Guaranty had not
existed, and Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not be impaired, reduced or affected in any
manner thereby.
Section 11. Cumulative Rights. All rights of Landlord hereunder or otherwise arising
under any documents executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations are separate and
cumulative and may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently, or not pursued, without
affecting or limiting any other right of Landlord and without affecting or impairing the liability
of Guarantor.
Section 12. Applicable Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas, and is intended to
be performed in accordance with and as permitted by such laws.
Section 13. Usury. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein contained, no
provision of this Guaranty shall require or permit the collection from Guarantor of interest in
excess of the maximum rate or amount that Guarantor may be required or permitted to pay to Landlord
pursuant to applicable law and as to which Guarantor could successfully assert the claim or defense
of usury.
Section 14. Landlord’s Assigns. This Guaranty is intended for and shall inure to the
benefit of Landlord and each and every person who shall from time to time be or become the owner or
holders of all or any part of the Lease and/or the Guaranteed Obligations, and each and every
reference herein to “Landlord” shall include and refer to each and every successor or assignee of
Landlord at any time holding or owning any part of or interest in any part of the Lease and/or the
Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall be assignable or transferable with the same force and
effect, and to the same extent, that the Lease and/or the Guaranteed Obligations are assignable or
transferable, it being understood and stipulated that upon assignment or transfer by Landlord of
the Lease and/or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the legal holder or owner thereof (or a part
thereof or interest therein thus transferred or assigned) shall (except as otherwise stipulated by
Landlord in its assignment) have and may exercise all of the rights granted to Landlord under this
Guaranty to the extent of that part of or interest in the Guaranteed Obligations thus assigned or
transferred.
Y-5
Section 15. Notices. Any notice or demand to Guarantor in connection herewith may be
given and shall conclusively be deemed to have been given and received upon deposit thereof in
writing in the United States mail, certified mail, return receipt requested, duly stamped and
addressed to such Guarantor at the following address:
Centex Corporation
0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000-0000

Guarantor shall have the right to designate from time to time another address for purposes of this
instrument by fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Landlord sent by United States mail,
certified mail, return receipt requested. Actual notice or demand, however given or received,
shall always be effective. The provisions of this Section 15 shall not be construed to affect or
impair any waiver of notice or demand herein provided or to require giving of notice or demand to
or upon Guarantor in any situation or for any reason.
Section 16. Payments. Landlord may apply any payments received from any source
against that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations in such priority and fashion as Landlord may
deem appropriate.
Section 17. No Right of Possession Upon Payment. The payment by Guarantor of any
amount pursuant to this Guaranty shall not, without Landlord’s consent, entitle Guarantor (whether
by way of subrogation or otherwise) to a right of possession of, or to any other right, title or
interest in, the premises covered by the Lease.
Section 18. Entire Agreement. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior correspondence, memoranda,
agreements or understandings (written or oral) with respect hereto are merged into and superseded
by this Guaranty. This Guaranty may not be changed, modified, discharged or terminated in any
manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by Guarantor and Landlord.
Section 19. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in
this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the other provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.
Section 20. Further Instruments. Guarantor hereby agrees to execute all such further
instruments as are reasonably requested by Landlord to further evidence or protect the rights of
Landlord under this Guaranty.

WHEREAS, the Original Lease was amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated June

EXHIBIT A TO SECOND AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE
FORM OF LEASE GUARANTY
LEASE GUARANTY AGREEMENT
Section 1. Guaranty. For value received, and in order to induce ,
a (“Landlord”), to purchase that certain office building located at 0000
XxXxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, commonly known as Citymark Office Building (the “Building”), Centex
Corporation, a Nevada corporation, with a principal place of business in Dallas, Texas
(“Guarantor”), hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Landlord and its successors or
assigns (a) the full and punctual payment when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of all
sums (including, without limitation, payment of rent, late charges, additional rent [however termed
or defined], court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all other sums) due and owing or
to become due and owing by Centex Construction Group Services, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company (“Tenant”) under that certain Lease Agreement dated June 5, 2003, entered into by and
between Centex Office Citymark I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Seller”), and Tenant, as
amended by (i) that certain First Amendment to Lease dated June 27, 2005, by and between Landlord
and Tenant (which, among other things, expanded the leased premises), and (ii) that certain Second
Amendment to Lease dated of even date herewith, by and between Landlord and Tenant, together with
any and all other extensions or renewals thereof and amendments and modifications thereto (the
“Lease”) and (b) the full, prompt and faithful performance of each and every obligation of Tenant
under the Lease. As used in this Lease Guaranty Agreement (this “Guaranty”), “Guaranteed
Obligations” means all obligations and indebtedness of Tenant guaranteed by Guarantor in this
Section 1.
Section 2. Term. The obligations of Guarantor as to the Guaranteed Obligations shall
continue in full force and effect against Guarantor until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid and
performed in full. This Guaranty covers any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether
presently outstanding or arising subsequent to the date hereof. This Guaranty is binding upon and
enforceable against Guarantor, its successors and assigns.
Section 3. Representations and Warranties of Guarantor. Guarantor hereby represents
and warrants to Landlord that:
(i) Guarantor has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making
of this Guaranty;
(ii) Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed the books and records
regarding, the financial condition of Tenant; however, such Guarantor is not relying on such
financial condition as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty;
(iii) except as provided in that certain Agreement of Sale and Purchase dated of even
date herewith by and between Seller, as seller, and Landlord, as purchaser,
Z-6
neither Landlord nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to
Guarantor in order to induce such Guarantor to execute this Guaranty;
(iv) as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent
obligations evidenced hereby, Guarantor is, and will be, solvent, and has and will have
property and assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities and debts, and
has and will have property and assets in the State of Texas sufficient to satisfy and repay
its obligations, liabilities and debts;
(v) this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor;
(vi) neither this Guaranty nor the agreements contained herein contravene or constitute
a default or create or impose any lien, charge or encumbrance under any agreement,
instrument, indenture or similar instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which
its assets are bound or any other requirement of law; and
(vii) there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or threatened against
Guarantor in any court or before any federal, state, municipal or other governmental
department or commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality which if adversely
determined will affect any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty.
Section 4. Waiver of Rights. Guarantor hereby waives (a) notice of acceptance hereof
(which acceptance is conclusively presumed by delivery to Landlord); (b) grace, demand, presentment
and protest with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or to any instrument, agreement or document
evidencing or creating same; (c) notice of grace, demand, presentment and protest; (d) notice of
intention to accelerate and of acceleration of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) notice of and/or any
right to consent or object to the assignment of any interest in the Lease or the Guaranteed
Obligations; (f) notice of the filing of suit and diligence by Landlord in collection or
enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (g) any other notice regarding the Guaranteed
Obligations except as specifically provided herein. Guarantor specifically waives any and all
rights and remedies to which Guarantor may be or become entitled under Chapter 34 of the Texas
Business and Commerce Code, under Sections 17.001 and 34.005 of the Texas Civil Practice and
Remedies Code and under Rule 31 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, and any and all other
defenses available to sureties or guarantors at law or in equity.
Section 5. Notice of Defaults. Landlord agrees that it will not exercise any
remedies under the Lease or this Guaranty following a Tenant default without having first given to
Guarantor: (a) written notice of the alleged Tenant default as required under the Lease, and (b)
the opportunity to cure such default for the same time period (if any) provided to Tenant under the
Lease. If Guarantor elects to cure any such default by Tenant, Landlord agrees to accept cure by
Guarantor as a cure of such default by Tenant under the Lease. The failure by Landlord to
simultaneously deliver a notice of default to Guarantor as provided herein shall not be deemed a
default by Landlord hereunder or a waiver of Landlord’s rights with respect to such default, but
shall delay the exercise of any remedy against Tenant or Guarantor until such time as Landlord
Z-7
has given notice to Guarantor and the same time period provided to Tenant under the Lease (if any)
to cure such default.
Section 6. Release of Parties Liable, Renewals, etc. Guarantor agrees that Landlord
may at any time, and from time to time, at Landlord’s discretion, with or without consent from any
other party but with notice to Guarantor (but Guarantor’s consent shall not be required), extend,
renew, rearrange, modify or amend any of the terms and provisions of the Lease. Any extension,
renewal, rearrangement, modification or amendment may be taken without impairing or diminishing the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder, provided, however, in the event any extension, renewal,
rearrangement, modification or amendment increases the obligations of Guarantor hereunder,
Guarantor’s prior written consent to such extension, renewal, rearrangement, modification or
amendment shall be required solely as a condition to Guarantor’s liability for the increase in the
Guaranteed Obligations. In the event Guarantor’s consent is not obtained, Guarantor shall not be
liable for any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such extension, renewal,
rearrangement, modification or amendment, but the same shall still be effective as to Tenant and
Guarantor shall remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations existing prior to such extension,
renewal, rearrangement, modification or amendment. Guarantor further agrees that Landlord may from
ay any time, and from time to time, at Landlord’s discretion, with our without consent from any
other party, release any party liable on the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation,
Tenant or any other guarantor. Additionally, the liability of Guarantor shall not be impaired,
reduced or in any way affected by: (v) Landlord’s failure, refusal, or neglect to collect or
enforce the Guaranteed Obligations, by way of, without limitation, any indulgence, forbearance,
compromise, settlement or waiver of performance which may be extended to Tenant by Landlord or
agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant; (w) any termination of the Lease; (x) any sublease of the space
covered by the Lease or any assignment of the Lease by any means or to any entity or person
whatsoever so long as Landlord does not voluntarily release Tenant from liability under the Lease
without Guarantor’s consent; (y) loss or subordination of any other guaranty, if any, or by the
existence of any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than the Guaranteed Obligations; or (z)
the taking of any security or any other guaranty for the Guaranteed Obligations in addition to the
guaranty presently existing.
Section 7. Primary Liability of Guarantor. This Guaranty constitutes a primary
obligation of Guarantor. This is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty
of payment and performance and not of collection and is in no way conditioned upon any attempt to
collect from Tenant or upon any other event or contingency. Guarantor agrees that Landlord is not
required, as a condition to establishing Guarantor’s liability hereunder, to proceed against any
person (including, without limitation, Tenant or any other guarantor), and further agrees not to
assert any defense (other than payment) available to Tenant against Landlord with regard to the
Guaranteed Obligations, any defense based upon an election of remedies of any type, any defense
based on any duty of Landlord to disclose information of any type to Guarantor regarding Tenant or
the Guaranteed Obligations, and/or any claim that Guarantor may have against Landlord by virtue of
Landlord’s failure to exercise any rights against Tenant, however arising. Guarantor hereby
expressly waives any right or claim to force Landlord to proceed first against Tenant or any other
guarantor as to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or other obligations of Tenant, and agrees that
no delay or refusal of Landlord to exercise any right or
Z-8
privilege which Landlord has or may have against Tenant, whether arising from any documents
executed by Tenant, any common law, applicable statute or otherwise, shall operate to impair the
liability of Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be reduced,
impaired or in any way affected by: (a) receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other proceedings
affecting Tenant or any of Tenant’s assets; (b) receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other
proceedings affecting Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s assets; (c) death, insanity or other
disability of Guarantor; (d) any allegation of fraud, usury, failure of consideration, forgery or
other defense, whether or not known to Landlord (even though rendering all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations void or unenforceable or uncollectible as against Tenant or any other
guarantor); or (e) the release or discharge of Tenant from the Lease or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any other indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord or from the performance of any
obligation contained in the Lease or other instrument issued in connection with, evidencing or
securing any indebtedness guaranteed by this instrument, whether occurring by reason of law or any
other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing. This Guaranty shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Landlord upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of Tenant or otherwise.
Landlord may at any time, without the consent of or notice to Guarantor, without incurring
responsibility to the undersigned, without impairing or releasing the obligations of the
undersigned, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part: (w) change the
manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, renew or alter any
liability of Tenant hereby guaranteed, or any liabilities incurred directly or indirectly
hereunder, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the liabilities of Tenant as any of such
liabilities may be changed, extended, renewed or altered in any manner; (x) exercise or refrain
from exercising any rights against Tenant or others, or otherwise act or refrain from acting; (y)
settle or compromise any liabilities hereby guaranteed or hereby incurred, and subordinate the
payment of all or any part of such liabilities to the payment of any liabilities which may be due
to Landlord or others; and (z) apply any sums paid to any liability or liabilities of Tenant to
Landlord regardless of what liability or liabilities of Tenant to Landlord remain unpaid.
Section 8. Subordination and Waiver of Subrogation. Once a claim is made by Landlord
to Guarantor under the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor hereby fully subordinates the payment of
all indebtedness owing to such Guarantor by Tenant (including principal and interest) to the prior
payment of all indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord (including, without limitation, interest accruing
on any such indebtedness after any insolvency or reorganization proceeding as to Tenant) and agrees
(x) not to accept any payment on such indebtedness until payment and performance in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and (y) not to attempt to set off or reduce any obligations hereunder
because of such indebtedness. After a claim has been made by Landlord to Guarantor under the
Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation or any other right to enforce
any remedy which Landlord now has or may hereafter have against Tenant until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been paid or performed in full.
Section 9. Place of Performance; Attorneys’ Fees. All payments to be made and
obligations to be performed hereunder shall be payable or performable in the location for
Z-9
payment or performance (as applicable) set forth in the Lease. If it becomes necessary for
Landlord to enforce this Guaranty by legal action, Guarantor hereby waives the right to be sued in
the county or state of such Guarantor’s residence and agrees to submit to the jurisdiction and
venue of the appropriate federal, state or other governmental court in Dallas County, Texas. In
the event of any action or proceeding at law or in equity between Landlord and Guarantor, the
prevailing party, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, shall be entitled to recover
from the unsuccessful party all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in such action or proceeding and in any appeal in
connection therewith by such prevailing party.
Section 10. Additional Liability of Guarantor. If Guarantor is or becomes liable for
any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than the Guaranteed Obligations by any means other
than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be impaired, reduced or affected in any manner
hereby but shall have all and the same force and effect it would have had if this Guaranty had not
existed, and Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not be impaired, reduced or affected in any
manner thereby.
Section 11. Cumulative Rights. All rights of Landlord hereunder or otherwise arising
under any documents executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations are separate and
cumulative and may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently, or not pursued, without
affecting or limiting any other right of Landlord and without affecting or impairing the liability
of Guarantor.
Section 12. Applicable Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas, and is intended to
be performed in accordance with and as permitted by such laws.
Section 13. Usury. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein contained, no
provision of this Guaranty shall require or permit the collection from Guarantor of interest in
excess of the maximum rate or amount that Guarantor may be required or permitted to pay to Landlord
pursuant to applicable law and as to which Guarantor could successfully assert the claim or defense
of usury.
Section 14. Landlord’s Assigns. This Guaranty is intended for and shall inure to the
benefit of Landlord and each and every person who shall from time to time be or become the owner or
holders of all or any part of the Lease and/or the Guaranteed Obligations, and each and every
reference herein to “Landlord” shall include and refer to each and every successor or assignee of
Landlord at any time holding or owning any part of or interest in any part of the Lease and/or the
Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall be assignable or transferable with the same force and
effect, and to the same extent, that the Lease and/or the Guaranteed Obligations are assignable or
transferable, it being understood and stipulated that upon assignment or transfer by Landlord of
the Lease and/or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the legal holder or owner thereof (or a part
thereof or interest therein thus transferred or assigned) shall (except as otherwise stipulated by
Landlord in its assignment) have and may exercise all of the rights granted to Landlord under this
Guaranty to the extent of that part of or interest in the Guaranteed Obligations thus assigned or
transferred.
Z-10
Section 15. Notices. Any notice or demand to Guarantor in connection herewith may be
given and shall conclusively be deemed to have been given and received upon deposit thereof in
writing in the United States mail, certified mail, return receipt requested, duly stamped and
addressed to such Guarantor at the following address:
Centex Corporation
0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000-0000
Attn: Xxxxx Xxxxx
Guarantor shall have the right to designate from time to time another address for purposes of this
instrument by fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Landlord sent by United States mail,
certified mail, return receipt requested. Actual notice or demand, however given or received,
shall always be effective. The provisions of this Section 15 shall not be construed to affect or
impair any waiver of notice or demand herein provided or to require giving of notice or demand to
or upon Guarantor in any situation or for any reason.
Section 16. Payments. Landlord may apply any payments received from any source
against that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations in such priority and fashion as Landlord may
deem appropriate.
Section 17. No Right of Possession Upon Payment. The payment by Guarantor of any
amount pursuant to this Guaranty shall not, without Landlord’s consent, entitle Guarantor (whether
by way of subrogation or otherwise) to a right of possession of, or to any other right, title or
interest in, the premises covered by the Lease.
Section 18. Entire Agreement. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior correspondence, memoranda,
agreements or understandings (written or oral) with respect hereto are merged into and superseded
by this Guaranty. This Guaranty may not be changed, modified, discharged or terminated in any
manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by Guarantor and Landlord.
Section 19. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in
this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the other provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.
Section 20. Further Instruments. Guarantor hereby agrees to execute all such further
instruments as are reasonably requested by Landlord to further evidence or protect the rights of
Landlord under this Guaranty.
