PROCEDURE

The following additional provisions shall apply to Rent Adjustments per Section 4.01:

(a) By April 1 of each calendar year during Tenant's occupancy, or as soon thereafter as practical, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement ("Landlord's Statement") of Landlord's Operating Expenses for the previous calendar year. If for any calendar year additional Base Rent was collected for the prior year, as a result of Landlord's estimate of Operating Expenses, in excess of the additional Base Rent due during such prior year, then Landlord shall refund to Tenant any over payment (or at Landlord's option, apply such amount against rentals due hereunder). Likewise, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, any underpayment with respect to the prior year. In no event shall Operating Expenses per square foot of Rentable Area within the Building be deemed to be less than the Expense Stop, it being the intent of Landlord and Tenant that Tenant shall at all times be responsible for the payment of, and shall pay, not less than the amount of Base Rent for the applicable period (before adjustment) specified in this Lease.

(b) In the event that the Term commences on a day other than January 1 or terminates on a day other than December 31, the Excess for that part of the last calendar year during the Term shall be determined as follows:

(i) The Expense Stop shall be prorated based upon the number of months in such partial calendar year. With respect to any partial calendar month occurring during such partial calendar year, the Expense Stop shall also be prorated based upon the number of days in that partial calendar month.


	6

(ii) The Excess, if any, for the applicable partial calendar year shall then be the amount by which (A) actual Operating Expenses per square foot of Rentable Area in the Building for such calendar year, prorated based upon the number of months and days in the applicable partial calendar year, exceed (B) the Expense Stop, as prorated pursuant to the provisions of this Subsection 4.02(b).

4.03	BOOKS AND RECORDS

Landlord shall maintain books and records showing Operating Expenses in accordance with sound accounting and management practices, consistently applied. The Tenant or its representative (which representative shall be a certified public accountant licensed to do business in the state in which the Property is located) shall have the right, for a period of one hundred-eighty (180) days following the date upon which Landlord's Statement is delivered to Tenant, to examine the Landlord's books and records with respect to the items in the foregoing statement of Operating Expenses during normal business hours, upon written notice, delivered at least three (3) business days in advance. If Tenant does not object in writing to Landlord's Statement within sixty (60) days of Tenant's receipt thereof, specifying the nature of the item in dispute and the reasons therefor, then Landlord's Statement shall be considered final and accepted by Tenant. Any amount due to the Landlord as shown on Landlord's Statement, whether or not disputed by Tenant as provided herein shall be paid by Tenant when due as provided above, without prejudice to any such written exception. If it is determined as the result of Tenant’s audit that operating expenses were overstate by three percent (3%) or more and Landlord does not disagree with such determination then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs of such audit up to but not to exceed $5,000.00. If, however, Landlord disagrees with such determination then Landlord shall be entitled to arrange for a second audit ("Second Audit") by an independent certified public accountant chosen by Landlord, in its sole discretion. In either event, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall reimburse the other party for the amount, if any, of the disputed items which were incorrectly stated, overstated or understated by Landlord.

4.04	PARTIAL OCCUPANCY

Notwithstanding any language in the Lease or in this Article Four seemingly to the contrary, Landlord may at Landlord's sole election, determine and estimate Operating Expenses for any calendar year within the Term by increasing the variable components of Operating Expenses to the amount which Landlord projects would have been incurred had the Building been occupied to the extent of ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area therein during all of the applicable calendar year. In such event, the term "Operating Expenses", as used in this Article Four and in the Lease, shall include (i) the actual Operating Expenses incurred during any portion of such calendar year in which the Building is occupied to the extent of ninety-five percent (95%) or more of the Rentable Area therein, plus (ii) the Operating Expenses which would have been incurred had the Building been occupied to the extent of ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area therein; and Landlord shall have the option of making such estimate in advance for any upcoming calendar year.

ARTICLE FIVE

SECURITY DEPOSIT

Tenant, concurrently with the execution of this Lease, shall pay to Landlord the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit may be applied by Landlord to cure any default of Tenant under this Lease, and upon notice by Landlord of such application, Tenant shall replenish the Security Deposit in full by paying to Landlord within ten (10) days of demand the amount so applied. Landlord shall not pay any interest on the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall not be deemed an advance payment of Rent, nor a measure of damages for any default by Tenant under this Lease, nor shall it be a bar or defense of any action which Landlord may at any time commence against Tenant. In the absence of evidence satisfactory to Landlord of an assignment of the right to receive the Security Deposit or the remaining balance thereof, Landlord may return the Security Deposit to the original Tenant, regardless of one or more assignments of this Lease. Upon the transfer of Landlord's interest under this Lease, Landlord's obligation to Tenant with respect to the security deposit shall terminate upon assumption of such obligation by the transferee.

If Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all the terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions of this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the following:

(a) the expiration of the Term of this Lease;

(b) the removal of Tenant and its property from the Premises;

The current charge for after-hours HVAC service is $25.00 per hour per floor (with a two (2) hour minimum). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant has the right to install its own supplemental air-conditioning equipment which shall be separately metered for water and electrical consumption, pursuant to Section 6.02 above.

6.04	TELEPHONE SERVICES

All telegraph, telephone, and electric connections which Tenant may desire shall be first approved by Landlord in writing (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), before the same are installed, subject to the reasonable direction of Landlord regarding the location of all wires and the work in connection therewith. Tenant may request a specific contractor, or at Tenant’s option, provide the Landlord with a list of selected contractors to whom the Tenant plans to send a Request for Proposal (RFP). The Landlord has the right to review the list and approve the selected contractors in advance of any bids requested by Tenant. Tenant will then have the right to select the contractor of Tenant’s choice from this list once the RFP responses have been submitted to Tenant. Through this approval process, Landlord reserves the right to approve and control the entity or entities providing telephone or other communication cable installation, repair and maintenance in the Building and to reasonably restrict and control access to telephone cabinets. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay all costs incurred in connection with the installation of telephone cables and related wiring in the Premises, including, without limitation, any hook-up, access and maintenance fees related to the installation of such wires and cables in the Premises and the commencement of service therein, and the maintenance thereafter of such wire and cables; and there shall be included in Operating Expenses for the Building all installation, hook-up or maintenance costs incurred by Landlord in connection with telephone cables and related wiring in the Building which are not allocable to any individual users of such service but are allocable to the Building generally. If Tenant fails to maintain all telephone cables and related wiring in the Premises and such failure affects or interferes with the operation or maintenance of any other telephone cables or related wiring in the Building, Landlord or any vendor hired by Landlord may enter into and upon the Premises forthwith and perform such repairs, restorations or alterations as Landlord deems necessary in order to eliminate any such interference (and Landlord may recover from Tenant all of Landlord's costs in connection therewith). Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor any of its agents or employees shall be liable to Tenant, or any of Tenant's employees, agents, customers or invitees or anyone claiming through, by or under Tenant, for any damages, injuries, losses, expenses, claims or causes of action because of any interruption, diminution, delay or discontinuance at any time for any reason in the furnishing of any telephone service to the Premises and the Building, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents or employees.

6.05	DELAYS IN FURNISHING SERVICES

Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be in breach of this Lease nor be liable to Tenant for damages or otherwise, for any failure to furnish, or a delay in furnishing, or a change in the quantity or character of any service when such failure, delay or change is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, improvements or mechanical breakdowns by the act or default of Tenant or other parties or by an event of Force Majeure. No interruption, malfunction, or change of any utility service shall constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession of the Premises or a breach by Landlord of any of Landlord's obligations hereunder or render Landlord liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage which Tenant may sustain or incur if either the quantity or character of any utility service is changed or is no longer available to or is no longer suitable for Tenant's requirements or entitle Tenant to be relieved from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Rent, or grant Tenant any right to set-off, abatement, or recoupment. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Lease seemingly to the contrary, at any time when Landlord is making such facilities for such utility services available to the Premises, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant, discontinue the availability of any such utility service. If Landlord gives any such notice of discontinuance, Landlord shall make all the necessary arrangements with the public utility service supplying the utility to the area in which the Building is located with respect to obtaining such utility service to the Premises; but Tenant will contract directly with such public utility service for the supplying of such utility services to the Premises. Failure to any extent to make available, or any slowdown, stoppage, or interruption of, the specified utility services resulting from any cause, including, without limitation, Landlord's compliance with any voluntary or similar governmental or business guidelines now or hereafter published or any requirements now or hereafter established by any governmental agency, board, or bureau having jurisdiction over the operation of the Building shall not render Landlord liable in any respect for damages to either persons, property, or business, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant or work an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant of Tenant's obligations for fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof. Should any equipment or machinery furnished by Landlord break down or for any cause cease to function properly, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to repair same promptly, but Tenant shall have no claim for abatement of Rent or damages on account of any interruption of service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant shall give notice to Landlord stating correctly that any cessation of a Critical Service (not caused by Tenant, its agents, customers, servants, contractors, employees, or invitees) shall have rendered all or any portion of the Premises untenantable, and in the event that such cessation continues for a period of five (5) or more consecutive days after Landlord receives such notice from Tenant, and in the further event that Tenant ceases occupying such portion of the Premises solely on account of any such cessation, then Rent shall xxxxx as to such portion of the Premises from and after the later to occur of (i) the sixth (6^th) day following the day Tenant gave such notice; or (ii) the date


	9

Tenant so ceases occupancy, until such Critical Service is restored or Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises (whichever date is earlier). Within thirty (30) days following any cessation of Critical Services, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an estimate of the time necessary to restore such Critical Services ("Landlord’s Notice"). If the time to restore such Critical Services exceeds one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of cessation, then Landlord, or Tenant if all or a substantial portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable and the Premises cannot be used by Tenant to conduct business, shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon giving written notice to the other at any time within twenty (20) days after delivery of Landlord's Notice, provided that if Landlord so chooses, Landlord's Notice may also constitute such notice of termination. Termination pursuant to such notice from Landlord or Tenant shall be effective as of the date which is thirty (30) days after the date such notice is given. The failure of Tenant to provide notice to Landlord in the manner and within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be an irrevocable waiver of such option. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the failure by Landlord to any extent to furnish the Critical Services hereof results from a Casualty, then the provisions of Article 14 shall apply instead of this paragraph.

6.06	CHOICE OF SERVICE PROVIDER

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole option, to the extent permitted by applicable law, elect to change, from time to time, the company or companies which provide services (including, without limitation, electrical service, gas service, water and technical services) to the Building, the Premises and/or its occupants. Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant not less than thirty (30) days notice of any scheduled change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not and does not make any representations or warranties concerning the identity or identities of the company or companies which provide services to the Building and the Premises or its occupants and Tenant acknowledges that the choice of service providers and matters concerning the engagement and termination thereof shall be solely that of Landlord. The foregoing provision is not intended to modify, amend, change or otherwise derogate any provision of this Lease concerning the nature or type of service to be provided or any specific information concerning the amount thereof to be provided. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and each of its service providers in connection with any change in service or provider.

7.01	POSSESSION AND USE OF PREMISES

(a) Tenant shall be entitled to possession of the Premises when either (i) the Work is Substantially Complete, or (ii) if no Initial Improvements are to be made to the Premises, the Premises are unoccupied. Tenant shall occupy and use the Premises only for the uses specified in Section 1.01(11) to conduct Tenant's business. Tenant shall not occupy or use the Premises (or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises) for any purpose or in any manner which: (1) is unlawful or in violation of any Law or Environmental Law; (2) may be dangerous to persons or property or which may increase the cost of, or invalidate, any policy of insurance carried on the Building or covering its operations; (3) is contrary to or prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Lease or the rules of the Building set forth in Article Eighteen; or (4) would tend to create or continue a nuisance.

(b) Tenant and Landlord shall each comply with all Environmental Laws concerning the proper storage, handling and disposal of any Hazardous Material with respect to the Property. Tenant shall not generate, store, handle or dispose of any Hazardous Material in, on, or about the Property without the prior written consent of Landlord except for commercially reasonable types and amounts of the same used or stored at the Premises (which products are of a type customarily found in offices such as aerosol cans, ink cartridges and toner for copiers, and the like) and in connection with the routine operation and maintenance of the Premises and then only in compliance with Environmental Laws regarding the safe use, handling, storage, and disposal of such materials. In the event that Tenant is notified of any investigation or violation of any Environmental Law arising from Tenant's activities at the Premises, Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord a copy of such notice. In such event or in the event Landlord reasonably believes that a violation of Environmental Laws by Tenant exists, Landlord may conduct such tests and studies relating to compliance by Tenant with Environmental Laws or the alleged presence of Hazardous Materials upon the Premises as Landlord deems desirable, all of which shall be completed at Tenant's expense. Landlord's inspection and testing rights are for Landlord's own protection only, and Landlord has not, and shall not be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to Tenant or any other party for compliance with Environmental Laws, as a result of the exercise, or non-exercise of such rights.

If any Hazardous Material is released, discharged or disposed of on or about the Property and such release, discharge or disposal is not caused by Tenant or other occupants of the Premises, or their employees, agents or contractors, such release, discharge or disposal shall be deemed casualty damage under Article Fourteen to the extent that the Premises are affected thereby; in such case, Landlord and Tenant shall have the obligations and rights respecting such casualty damage provided under such Article.

(c) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 X.X.X '00000 et seq.) and regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder, as all of the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time (collectively referred to herein as the "ADA") establish requirements for business operations, accessibility and barrier removal, and that such requirements may or may not apply to the Premises and the Property depending on, among other things: (1) whether Tenant's business is deemed a "public accommodation" or "commercial facility", (2) whether such requirements are "readily achievable", and (3) whether a given alteration affects a "primary function area" or triggers "path of travel" requirements. The parties hereby agree that: (a) Landlord shall be responsible for implementing ADA Title III compliance in the Common Areas as part of Operating Expenses, except as provided below, (b) Tenant shall be responsible for ADA Title III compliance in the Premises, including any leasehold improvements or other work to be performed in the Premises under or in connection with this Lease, and (c) Landlord may perform, or require that Tenant perform, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of, ADA Title III "path of travel" requirements if the specific accommodation to create the "path of travel" is unique to a user of Tenant’s space and not required for the general disabled community, and (d) Landlord may perform, or require Tenant to perform, and Tenant


	10

shall be responsible for the cost of, ADA Title III compliance in the Common Areas necessitated by the Building being deemed to be a "public accommodation" instead of a "commercial facility" solely as a result of Tenant's use of the Premises.

7.02	LANDLORD ACCESS TO PREMISES; APPROVALS

(a) Tenant shall permit Landlord to erect, use and maintain pipes, ducts, wiring and conduits in and through portions of the Premises that are above the ceiling, so long as Tenant's access, use, layout or design of the Premises is not materially affected or altered. Landlord or Landlord's agents shall have the right to enter upon the Premises in the event of an emergency upon such notice to Tenant as is reasonable under the circumstances, or with prior reasonable notice to Tenant to inspect the Premises, to perform janitorial and other services contemplated to be performed by Landlord hereunder, to conduct safety and other testing in the Premises and to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or the Building or other parts of the Property as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary or desirable (including, without limitation, all alterations, improvements and additions in connection with a change in service provider or providers). Janitorial and cleaning services shall be performed after normal business hours. Any entry or work by Landlord may be during normal business hours (other than janitorial and cleaning services, unless specifically requested by Tenant) and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that any entry or work shall not materially interfere with Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, however, any such reasonable and immaterial interference shall not be a default by Landlord.

If Tenant shall not be personally present to permit an entry into the Premises when for any reason an entry therein shall be necessary or permissible, Landlord (or Landlord's agents), after attempting to notify Tenant (unless Landlord believes an emergency situation exists), may enter the Premises without rendering Landlord or its agents liable therefor (if during such entry Landlord or Landlord's agent shall accord reasonable care to Tenant's property), and without relieving Tenant of any obligations under this Lease.

(c) Landlord may enter the Premises for the purpose of conducting such inspections, tests and studies as Landlord may reasonably deem desirable or necessary to confirm Tenant's compliance with all Laws and Environmental Laws or for other purposes necessary in Landlord's reasonable judgment to ensure the sound condition of the Property and the systems serving the Property, provided however, such entry by Landlord shall be with due regard for the conduct of Tenant’s business and shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s business. Landlord's rights under this Section 7.02(c) are for Landlord's own protection only, and Landlord has not, and shall not be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to Tenant or any other party as a result of the exercise or non-exercise of such rights, for compliance with Laws or Environmental Laws.

(d) Landlord may do any of the foregoing, or undertake any of the inspection or work described in the preceding paragraphs without such action constituting an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part, or giving rise to an abatement of Rent by reason of loss or interruption of business of the Tenant, or otherwise, provided that Landlord does not materially interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business.

7.03	QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants that so long as Tenant is in compliance with the covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to quiet enjoyment of the Premises without hindrance or interference from Landlord or those claiming through Landlord, and subject to the rights of any Mortgagee.

7.04	ENTRY CARDS

Landlord shall provide limited access to the Building before and after normal business hours in the form of special limited access entry cards ("Entry Cards") for Tenant and its employees. An Entry Card shall not automatically qualify Tenant or any of its employees for an access card to the "Parking Garage" as defined in and pursuant to the terms of Exhibit "E". Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with up to, but not in excess of, one hundred-seventy (170) Entry Cards for a non-refundable deposit of $10.00 per card. However, Tenant shall pay Landlord for any additional or replacement cards, in such amount as Landlord shall, from time to time, determine. The current cost required for a replacement card and an additional card is $30.00 per card. Landlord shall be entitled to cancel (by computer entry) any lost or stolen cards of which it becomes aware. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any lost or stolen cards.

Tenant further agrees to surrender all Entry Cards in its possession upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

(b) All Tenant Alterations whether installed by Landlord or Tenant, shall without compensation or credit to Tenant, become part of the Premises and the property of Landlord at the time of their installation, unless agreed otherwise by Landlord and Tenant, and shall remain in the Premises, unless pursuant to Article Twelve, Tenant may remove them or is required to remove them at Landlord's request.

LIENS

Tenant shall not permit any lien or claim for lien of any mechanic, laborer or supplier or any other lien to be filed against the Building, the Land, the Premises, or any other part of the Property arising out of work performed, or alleged to have been performed by, or at the direction of, or on behalf of Tenant. If any such lien or claim for lien is filed, Tenant shall within twenty (20) days of receiving notice of such lien or claim (a) have such lien or claim for lien released of record or (b) deliver to Landlord a bond in form, content, amount, and issued by surety, satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying, protecting, defending and holding harmless the Indemnitees against all costs and liabilities resulting from such lien or claim for lien and the foreclosure or attempted foreclosure thereof. If Tenant fails to take any of the above actions, Landlord, in addition to its rights and remedies under Article Eleven, without investigating the validity of such lien or claim for lien, may pay or discharge the same and Tenant shall, as payment of additional Rent hereunder, reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount so paid by Landlord, including Landlord's expenses and attorneys' fees.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

10.01

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

(a) Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant may not sublease, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of this Lease or the encumbering of Tenant's interest therein in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises, or any part thereof, by anyone other than Tenant. If Tenant desires to enter into any sublease of the Premises or assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver written notice thereof to Landlord ("Tenant's Notice"), together with the identity of the proposed subtenant or assignee and the proposed principal terms thereof and financial and other information sufficient for Landlord to make an informed judgment with respect to such proposed subtenant or assignee at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement date of the term of the proposed sublease or assignment. If Tenant proposes to sublease less than all of the Rentable Area of the Premises, the space proposed to be sublet and the space retained by Tenant must each be a marketable unit as reasonably determined by Landlord and otherwise in compliance with all Laws. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval of the proposed sublease or assignment or its decision to exercise its rights under Section 10.02 within twenty (20) days after receipt of Tenant's Notice (and all required information). In no event may Tenant sublease any portion of the Premises or assign the Lease to any other tenant of the Building, unless Landlord has insufficient or inadequate space to accommodate such other tenant(s) of the Building. Tenant shall submit for Landlord's approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) any advertising which Tenant or its agents intend to use with respect to the space proposed to be sublet.

(b) With respect to Landlord’s consent to an assignment or sublease, Landlord may take into consideration any factors which Landlord may deem relevant, and the reasons for which Landlord’s denial shall be deemed to be reasonable shall include , without limitation, the following:

(i)

the business reputation or creditworthiness of any the proposed assignee is not acceptable to Landlord; or

(ii)

in the Landlord’s reasonable judgment the proposed assignee or sublessee would diminish the value or reputation of the Building or Landlord; or

(iii)

any proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s use of the Premises would violate Section 7.01 of the Lease or would violate the provisions of any other leases of tenants in the Building;

(iv)

the proposed assignee or sublessee is either a governmental agency, a school or similar operation, or a medical related practice that would have outpatient facilities at the Premises; or

(v)

the proposed sublessee or assignee is a bona fide prospective tenant of Landlord in the Building as demonstrated by a letter of intent fully executed by Landlord and the proposed sublessee or assignee, dated within ninety (90) days prior to the date of Tenant’s request and in full effect as of the date of Tenant’s request; or

(vi)

the proposed sublessee or assignee would materially increase the estimated pedestrian and vehicular traffic to and from the Premises and the Building, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion.

In no event shall Landlord be obligated to consider a consent to any proposed (i) sublease of the Premises or assignment of the Lease if a Default then exists under the Lease, or (ii) assignment of the Lease which would assign less than the entire Premises.


	13

(c) If Landlord chooses not to recapture the space proposed to be subleased or assigned as provided in Section 10.02, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a subletting or assignment under this Section 10.01. Any approved sublease or assignment shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Any such subtenant or assignee shall execute such documents as Landlord may reasonably require to evidence such subtenant or assignee's assumption of such obligations and liabilities. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of all agreements executed by Tenant and the proposed subtenant and assignee with respect to the Premises. Landlord's approval of a sublease or assignment shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's obligation to obtain Landlord's consent to further assignments or subleases.

(d) For purposes of this Article Ten, an assignment shall be deemed to include a change in the majority control of Tenant, resulting from any transfer, sale or assignment of shares of stock of Tenant occurring by operation of law or otherwise if Tenant is a corporation whose shares of stock are not traded publicly. If Tenant is a partnership, any change in the partners of Tenant shall be deemed to be an assignment.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article Ten, Tenant shall have the right, without the prior written consent of Landlord, to sublease the Premises to an Affiliate or to assign this Lease to an Affiliate, but (i) no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the assignment or sublease, the assignee or sublessee shall execute documents to evidence such subtenant or assignee’s assumption of the obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease, except in the case of any assignment which occurs by operation of law (and without a written assignment) as consequence of merger, consolidation or non-bankruptcy reorganization; (ii) within ten (10) days after the effective date of such assignment or sublease, give notice to Landlord which notice shall include the full name and address of the assignee or subtenant, and a copy of all agreements executed between Tenant and the assignee or subtenant with respect to the Premises; and (iii) within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s request, such documents or information which Landlord reasonably requests for the purpose of substantiating whether or not the assignment or sublease is to an Affiliate.

10.02

RECAPTURE

Except as provided in Section 10.01(e) Landlord shall have the option to exclude from the Premises covered by this Lease ("recapture"), the space proposed to be sublet or subject to the assignment, effective as of the proposed commencement date of such sublease or assignment. In such event, any necessary demising walls shall be erected at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. If Landlord elects to recapture, Tenant shall surrender possession of the space proposed to be subleased or subject to the assignment to Landlord on the effective date of recapture of such space from the Premises such date being the Termination Date for such space. Effective as of the date of recapture of any portion of the Premises pursuant to this section, the Monthly Base Rent, Rentable Area of the Premises and Tenant's Rent Adjustment shall be adjusted accordingly to reflect the reduction in space.

10.03

EXCESS RENT

Tenant shall pay Landlord on the first day of each month during the term of the sublease or assignment, fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the sum of all rent and other consideration (direct or indirect) due from the subtenant or assignee for such month exceeds: (i) that portion of the Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments due under this Lease for said month which is allocable to the space sublet or assigned; and (ii) the following costs and expenses for the subletting or assignment of such space: (1) brokerage commissions and attorneys' fees and expenses, (2) advertising for subtenants or assignees; (3) the actual costs paid in making any improvements or substitutions in the Premises required by any sublease or assignment; and (4) "free rent" periods, costs of any inducements or concessions given to subtenant or assignee, moving costs, and other amounts in respect of such subtenant's or assignee's other leases or occupancy arrangements.

10.04

TENANT LIABILITY

In the event of any sublease or assignment other than an assignment to an Affiliate, permitted under Section 10.01(e), whether or not with Landlord's consent, Tenant shall not be released or discharged from any liability, whether past, present or future, under this Lease, including any liability arising from the exercise of any renewal or expansion option, to the extent expressly permitted by Landlord. Tenant’s liability shall remain primary, and in the event of default by any subtenant, assignee or successor of Tenant in performance or observance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said subtenant, assignee or successor. If Landlord grants consent to such sublease or assignment, Tenant shall pay all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to such assignment or sublease. In addition, if Tenant has any options to extend the term of this Lease or to add other space to the Premises, such options shall not be available to any subtenant or assignee, directly or indirectly without Landlord's express written consent which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion.

10.05

ASSUMPTION AND ATTORNMENT

If Tenant shall assign this Lease as permitted herein, the assignee shall expressly assume all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder in a written instrument satisfactory to Landlord and furnished to Landlord not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the assignment. If Tenant shall sublease the Premises as permitted herein, and Tenant is in monetary Default under the Lease, Tenant shall, at Landlord's option, within fifteen (15) days following any request by Landlord, obtain and furnish to Landlord the written agreement of such subtenant to the effect that the subtenant will attorn to Landlord and will pay all subrent directly to Landlord.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

11.01

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

The occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following shall constitute a "Default" by Tenant under this Lease:

(i) Tenant fails to pay any installment or other payment of Rent including without limitation Rent Adjustment Deposits or Rent Adjustments within five (5) business days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant written notice thereof, however, a Default shall occur hereunder if Tenant fails to pay any installment or other payment of Rent including without limitation Rent Adjustments when due without any obligation of Landlord to give any notice if Landlord has given Tenant written notice under this Section 11.01 (i) on more than two occasions during the twelve (12) month interval preceding such failure by Tenant;

(ii) Tenant fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or the Workletter and fails to cure such default within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof to Tenant (unless the default involves a hazardous condition, which shall be cured forthwith); provided that if such failure is curable but cannot reasonably be cured during the initial fifteen (15) day period, and if, within such initial fifteen (15) day period, Tenant commences such cure and diligently and continuously pursues the cure to completion, then such fifteen (15) day period shall be extended for such additional period as is necessary for the completion of such cure but such additional period, if any, shall not in any event exceed forty-five (45) days.

(iii) the interest of Tenant in this Lease is levied upon under execution or other legal process;

(iv) a petition is filed by or against Tenant to declare Tenant bankrupt or seeking a plan of reorganization or arrangement under any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Act, or any amendment, replacement or substitution therefor, or to delay payment of, reduce or modify Tenant's debts, which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within thirty (30) days;

(v) Tenant is declared insolvent by law or any assignment of Tenant's property is made for the benefit of creditors;

(vi) a receiver is appointed for Tenant or Tenant's property, which appointment is not discharged within thirty (30) days;

(vii) Intentionally Deleted

(viii) upon the dissolution of Tenant;

(ix) Intentionally Deleted

(x) the failure to immediately surrender occupancy and deliver up the Premises as provided in Paragraph 5 of the Termination Option Exhibit, Exhibit "J" to this Lease.

11.02

LANDLORD'S REMEDIES

(a) If a Default occurs, Landlord shall have the rights and remedies hereinafter set forth, which shall be distinct and cumulative: (i) Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice of Landlord's election to do so, in which event, the term of this Lease shall end and all of Tenant's rights and interests shall expire on the date stated in such notice; (ii) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right of possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease by giving notice to Tenant that Tenant's right of possession shall end on the date specified in such notice; or (iii) Landlord may enforce the provisions of this Lease and may enforce and protect the rights of the Landlord hereunder by a suit or suits in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, including recovery of all monies due or to become due from Tenant under any of the provisions of this Lease. All Landlord remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive.

(b) In the event that Landlord terminates the Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to recover (i) the sum of all Rents and other indebtedness accrued to the date of such termination, plus (ii) the cost of recovering the Premises, (iii) the cost of reletting the Premises, or portions thereof (including, without limitation, brokerage commissions) and (iv) the cost of repairs, alterations, improvements, additions and decorations to the Premises to the extent Landlord deems reasonably necessary or desirable which shall not exceed building standard improvements. (Items (ii) through (iv) are herein defined as the "Recovery Costs"). In addition, in the event that Tenant's Default constitutes a material breach, Landlord shall be entitled to recover a sum equal to the difference between (x) the total Base Rent due under this Lease for the remainder of the Term and (y) the then fair market rental value of the Premises during such period, discounted to present value. The discount rate shall be the prime rate charged at Bank of America, N.A. in Dallas, Texas plus five percent (5%) ("Discounted Future Rent").

(c) In the event Landlord proceeds pursuant to subparagraph (a)(ii) above, Landlord shall be entitled to recover (i) the sum of all Rents and other indebtedness accrued to the date of such termination of Tenant's possession, plus (ii) the Recovery Costs (as defined above). Landlord will make reasonable efforts, but shall not be obligated to (except as may be required by law), relet the Premises, or any part thereof for the account of Tenant, for such rent and term and upon such terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to Landlord. For purposes of such reletting, Landlord is authorized to decorate, repair, alter and improve the Premises to the extent reasonably necessary or desirable. If the Premises are relet and the consideration realized therefrom after payment of all Landlord's Reletting Expenses, is insufficient to satisfy the payment when due of Rent reserved under this Lease for any monthly period, then Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand any such deficiency monthly ("Rental Deficiency"). If such consideration is greater than the amount necessary to pay the full amount of the Rent, the full amount of such excess shall be retained by Landlord and shall in no event be payable to Tenant. Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums due to Landlord hereunder from time to time and that such suit or recovery of any amount due Landlord hereunder shall not


	15

be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not therefore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous Default. In the alternative (but only in the event that Tenant's Default constitutes a material breach), Landlord may elect to terminate Tenant's right to occupy the Premises and to immediately recover as damages, in lieu of the Rental Deficiency, a sum equal to the Discounted Future Rent (as defined above). Provided however, nothing contained herein shall deem to waive Landlord’s obligations to mitigate Landlord’s damages pursuant to Texas law.

(d) In the event a Default occurs, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, enter into the Premises, remove Tenant's property, fixtures, furnishings, signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold such property; provided, however, that such entry and possession shall not terminate this Lease or release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant's obligation to pay the Rent reserved hereunder for the full Term or from any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease. Any and all property which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the authority of the Lease or law, to which Tenant is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the risk, cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property so long as the same shall be in the Landlord's possession or under the Landlord's control. Any such property of Tenant not retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date shall be conclusively presumed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as a xxxx of sale without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.

11.03

ATTORNEY'S FEES

In the event either party hereto finds it necessary to bring an action at law or other proceeding against the other party to enforce any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof, or by reason of any breach or default hereunder, the party prevailing in any such action or proceeding shall be paid all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees by the other party, and, in the event any judgment is secured by such prevailing party, all such costs and attorneys’ fees shall be determined by the court and not the jury. With respect to any monetary claim, in order for a party to prevail, such party must be awarded at least fifty percent (50%) of the highest amount which such party claimed at any time in such suit.

11.04

BANKRUPTCY

The following provisions shall apply in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of Tenant:

(a) In connection with any proceeding under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code where the trustee of Tenant elects to assume this Lease for the purposes of assigning it, such election or assignment, may only be made upon compliance with the provisions of (b) and (c) below, which conditions Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable. In the event the trustee elects to reject this Lease then Landlord shall immediately be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or the trustee.

(b) Any election to assume this Lease under Chapter 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code by Tenant as debtor-in-possession or by Tenant's trustee (the "Electing Party") must provide for:

The Electing Party to cure or provide to Landlord adequate assurance that it will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease within fifteen (15) days from the date of assumption and it will cure all nonmonetary defaults under this Lease within thirty (30) days from the date of assumption. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge such condition to be commercially reasonable.

(c) If the Electing Party has assumed this Lease or elects to assign Tenant's interest under this Lease to any other person, such interest may be assigned only if the intended assignee has provided adequate assurance of future performance (as herein defined), of all of the obligations imposed on Tenant under this Lease. For the purposes hereof, "adequate assurance of future performance" means that Landlord has ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

(i) The assignee has submitted a current financial statement, certified by its chief financial officer, which shows a net worth and working capital in amounts sufficient to assure the future performance by the assignee of Tenant's obligations under this Lease; and

(ii) Landlord has obtained consents or waivers from any third parties which may be required under a lease, mortgage, financing arrangement, or other agreement by which Landlord is bound, to enable Landlord to permit such assignment.

(d) Landlord's acceptance of rent or any other payment from any trustee, receiver, assignee, person, or other entity will not be deemed to have waived, or waive, the requirement of Landlord's consent, Landlord's right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant's interest under this Lease without such consent, or Landlord's claim for any amount of Rent due from Tenant.

11.05

LANDLORD'S DEFAULT

Landlord shall be in default hereunder in the event Landlord has not begun the cure of any failure of Landlord to meet its obligations hereunder with thirty (30) days of the receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant of the alleged failure to perform, provided, however, that if such failure cannot, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such failure so long as Landlord commences its curative efforts within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes same to completion within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of Tenant’s initial notice of such failure, provided that at the end of such one hundred twenty (120) day Tenant provides Landlord with three (3) days’ prior written notice of Tenant’s intention to


	16

declare a default under such circumstances. Tenant shall have the right ("Tenant’s Cure Right"), in addition to its other remedies at law or in equity, to take such actions as are reasonably necessary to cure in whole or in part Landlord’s failure (i) to fund the Allowance, or (ii) to perform Landlord’s repair and maintenance obligations with respect to the Premises (but without affecting any portion of the Centre other than the Premises). Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant within thirty (30) days following demand for all such sums expended by Tenant in exercising Tenant’s Cure Right (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the time incurred by Tenant until repaid by Landlord in full); provided, however, that if Landlord does not so reimburse Tenant for such amounts within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall have the right ("Tenant’s Offset Right") to offset such amounts against Rent due under this Lease until all such amounts are recovered by Tenant (and provided further that in no event shall the amount so deducted from any individual monthly installment of Base Rent exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of such monthly amount of Base Rent). In any event, Tenant hereby covenants that, prior to the exercise of any such remedies, it will give the mortgagees holding mortgages on the Building (which mortgagees shall have been identified to Tenant in writing or in a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement delivered by Tenant at the request of Landlord) notice and the same time as afforded to Landlord hereunder to cure any default by Landlord.

Tenant shall remove from the Premises all movable personal property of Tenant and Tenant's trade fixtures, including, subject to Section 6.04, cabling for any of the foregoing. Tenant shall be entitled to remove such Tenant Alterations which at the time of their installation Landlord and Tenant agreed may be removed by Tenant. Tenant shall also remove such other Tenant Alterations as required by Landlord, including, any Tenant Alterations containing Hazardous Materials. Tenant immediately shall repair all damage resulting from removal of any of Tenant's property, furnishings or Tenant Alterations, shall close all floor, ceiling and roof openings and shall restore the Premises to a tenantable condition as reasonably determined by Landlord. If any of the Tenant Alterations which were installed by Tenant involved the lowering of ceilings, raising of floors or the installation of specialized wall or floor coverings or lights, then Tenant shall also be obligated to return such surfaces to their condition prior to the commencement of this Lease. Tenant shall also be required to close any staircases or other openings between floors. In the event possession of the Premises is not delivered to Landlord when required hereunder, or if Tenant shall fail to remove those items described above, Landlord may, (but shall not be obligated to) at Tenant's expense, remove any of such property store, sell or otherwise deal with such property as provided in Section 11.02(b), including the waiver and indemnity obligations provided in that Section, and undertake, at Tenant's expense, such restoration work as Landlord deems necessary or advisable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (i) Tenant shall only be required to remove those Tenant Alterations that Landlord requires in writing ("Removal Notice") be removed upon the termination of this Lease, which Removal Notice shall be given at the time Landlord approves the installation of such Tenant Alterations and only if Tenant provides Landlord with notice of any Tenant Alterations together with a request for a Removal Notice, and (ii) in no event shall Tenant be required to remove any Initial Improvements installed in connection with the work performed pursuant to Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof.

Tenant shall also pay all actual damages sustained by Landlord by reason of such retention of possession. The provisions of this Article shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any re-entry rights of Landlord and Tenant's continued occupancy of the Premises shall be as a tenancy in sufferance.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY

14.01

SUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY

(a) If any fire or other casualty (whether insured or uninsured) renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable, Landlord shall, with reasonable promptness after the occurrence of such damage, estimate the length of time that will be required to Substantially Complete the repair and restoration and shall by notice advise Tenant of such estimate ("Landlord's Notice"). If Landlord estimates that the amount of time required to Substantially Complete such repair and restoration will exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date such damage occurred, then Landlord, or Tenant if all or a substantial portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable and the Premises cannot be used by Tenant to conduct business, shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage upon giving written notice to the other at any time within twenty (20) days after delivery of Landlord's Notice, provided that if Landlord so chooses, Landlord's Notice may also constitute such notice of termination.


	17

(b) Unless this Lease is terminated as provided in the preceding subparagraph, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable promptness to repair and restore the Premises to its condition as existed prior to such casualty, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and Force Majeure delays, and also subject to zoning laws and building codes then in effect. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease if such repairs and restoration are not in fact completed within the time period estimated by Landlord so long as Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to complete such repairs and restoration provided however, that if Landlord determines that such repair and restoration will not be full completed within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the occurrence of the casualty (as the same may be extended due to Force Majeure delays), or if in fact such repair and restoration is not fully completed within one hundred eight (180) days from the date of the occurrence of the casualty (as the same may be extended due to Force Majeure delays), then Landlord, and Tenant if all or a substantial portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable, shall each have the right to terminate this Lease on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the other.

(c) For purposes of this section 14.01, "untenantable" means (i) damage to the Premises or the Building which materially impairs or interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises in the ordinary conduct of Tenant’s business or the access by Tenant and its invitees to the Building or the Premises, or (ii) damage to the Building or the Parking Garage which materially impairs or interferes with the use by Tenant of or access to the Parking Garage and the parking spaces to which Tenant is entitled hereunder.

(d) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of any insurance coverage, whether carried by Landlord or Tenant, for damages to the Premises, except for those proceeds of Tenant's insurance for its own personal property and equipment, and trade fixtures which would be removable by Tenant at the Termination Date. All such insurance proceeds shall be payable to Landlord whether or not the Premises are to be repaired and restored.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth: (i) Landlord shall have no duty pursuant to this Section to repair or restore any portion of any Tenant Alterations or to expend for any repair or restoration of the Premises or Building amounts in excess of insurance proceeds paid to Landlord and available for repair or restoration; and (ii) Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section if any damage or destruction was caused by the act or neglect of Tenant, its agent or employees.

INSUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY

If the Premises or the Building is damaged by a casualty but neither is rendered substantially untenantable and Landlord estimates that the time to Substantially Complete the repair or restoration will not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date such damage occurred, then Landlord shall proceed to repair and restore the Building or the Premises other than Tenant Alterations, with reasonable promptness, unless such damage is to the Premises and occurs during the last six (6) months of the Term, in which event either Tenant or Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty by giving written notice thereof to the other within twenty (20) days after the date of such casualty. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, Landlord’s obligation to repair shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.01 (d) (i) above.

14.03

RENT ABATEMENT

Except for fire or casualty caused by the willful misconduct (but not negligence) of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, and as provided in Section 16.04, Waiver of Subrogation, if all or any part of the Premises are rendered untenantable by fire or other casualty and this Lease is not terminated, Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments shall xxxxx for that part of the Premises which is untenantable on a per diem basis from the date of the casualty until Landlord has Substantially Completed the repair and restoration work in the Premises which it is required to perform, provided, that as a result of such casualty, Tenant does not occupy the portion of the Premises which is untenantable during such period. Rent shall continue to xxxxx until such time that a substantial portion of the Premises are restored so that Tenant can conduct its business from the Premises.

15.01

TAKING OF WHOLE OR SUBSTANTIAL PART

In the event the whole or any substantial part of the Building or of the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purpose (including a deed given in lieu of condemnation) and is thereby rendered untenantable, this Lease shall terminate as of the date title vests in such authority, and Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments shall be apportioned as of the Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth, in the event the taking is temporary (for less than the remaining term of the Lease), Landlord may elect either (i) to terminate this Lease or (ii) permit Tenant to receive the entire award attributable to the Premises in which case Tenant shall continue to pay Rent and this Lease shall not terminate.

15.02

TAKING OF PART

In the event a part of the Building or the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent authority (or a deed is delivered in lieu of condemnation) and this Lease is not terminated, the Lease shall be amended to reduce or increase, as the case may be, the Monthly Base Rent and Tenant's Rent Adjustment to reflect the Rentable Area of the Premises or Building, as the case may be, remaining after any such taking or condemnation. Landlord, upon receipt and to the extent of the award in condemnation (or


	18

proceeds of sale) shall make necessary repairs and restorations to the Premises (exclusive of Tenant Alterations) and to the Building to the extent necessary to constitute the portion of the Building not so taken or condemned as a complete architectural and economically efficient unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of any taking, or a governmental order that the grade of any street or alley adjacent to the Building is to be changed and such taking or change of grade makes it necessary or desirable to substantially remodel or restore the Building or prevents the economical operation of the Building, Landlord or Tenant shall each have the right to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other party, so long as such condemnation materially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises.

15.03

COMPENSATION

Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award (or sale proceeds) from any such taking, condemnation or sale without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant's interest, if any, in such award; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right separately to pursue against the condemning authority a separate award in respect of the loss, if any, to Tenant Alterations paid for by Tenant without any credit or allowance from Landlord, costs of relocation, or any other costs Tenant incurs as a result of the condemnation, so long as there is no diminution of Landlord's award as a result.

(i) Contractor shall mean the general contractor selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord to perform the Work.

(j) Improvements shall mean those improvements or remodeling to the Premises, if any, which Tenant shall provide according to the terms of this Workletter.

2. Procedure and Schedules for the Completion of Plans. The Plans shall be completed in accordance with the following procedure and time schedules:

(ii) Tenant shall have the sole responsibility for compliance of the Plans and the Work with all applicable statutes, codes, ordinances and other regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the approval of the Plans or calculations included therein by Landlord shall not constitute an indication, representation or certification by Landlord that such Plans or calculations are in compliance with said statutes, codes, ordinances and other regulations. In instances where several sets of requirements must be met, the requirements of Landlord's insurance underwriter or the strictest applicable requirements shall apply where not prohibited by applicable codes.

(b) Within five (5) Working Days after receipt of the Plans, Landlord shall return one (1) copy of the Plans to Tenant with Landlord's suggested modifications and/or approval. If the Plans are returned to Tenant with

Landlord shall pay the amount due under each request for payment within thirty (30) days of receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant must use any remaining balance of the Allowance before December 31, 2004.

Tenant shall cause the Contractor to perform the Work in conformity with Landlord's requirements as set forth in "Manager's Conditions for Tenant Managed Construction" and in substantial accordance with the Plans.

(c)

The Work shall not adversely affect any structural component of the Building or the Building's HVAC system, plumbing system, electrical system, or other mechanical systems or elevators.

Tenant shall remove all debris and waste material relating to any construction area and leave the immediately surrounding areas in broom-clean condition.

(d)

As soon as reasonably practical, but in any event prior to the commencement of the Work, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a policy or policies of builder's risk and liability insurance coverage naming Landlord and Tenant as additional named insureds, as their interests may appear, in amounts and coverages satisfactory to Landlord and issued by an insurance company or companies which carries a policy holders rating of not less than "A+" and a financial rating of not less than "X" as designated in the most current Best's Insurance Guide and which shall be licensed to do business in the State of Texas.

(i)

Tenant's Contractor, its subcontractors and suppliers and their employees shall use only the service elevators and shall observe all the rules and regulations of the Project and Building while in the

EXHIBIT "C" TO OFFICE LEASE AGREEMENT

Building. Tenant shall be responsible for all cleaning, repair and maintenance of any area of the Building damaged or disturbed in connection with the Work.

(j)

Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord, the manager and all of their employees and agents, harmless against any and all claims, demands, loss or damages (including attorney's fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any of the Work (except to the extent arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, the manager of the Building, or their respective agents, employees or contractors).

5. Change Orders. All changes and modifications in the Work from that contemplated in the Plans, whether or not such change or modification gives rise to a Change Cost, must be evidenced by a written Change Order executed by both Landlord and Tenant. In that regard, Tenant shall submit to Landlord such information as Landlord shall require with respect to any Change Order requested by Tenant. After receipt of a requested Change Order, together with such information as Landlord shall require with respect thereto, Landlord shall return to Tenant either the executed Change Order, which will evidence Landlord's approval thereof, or the Plans with respect thereto with Landlord's suggested modifications.

6. Tenant License To Enter Premises. Landlord shall permit Tenant and its agents to enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date in order that Tenant may perform the Work. The foregoing license to enter prior to the Commencement Date, however, is conditioned upon worker's compensation and public liability insurance and property damage insurance, all in amounts and with companies and on forms satisfactory to Landlord being provided and at all times maintained by Tenant's contractors engaged in the performance of the Work, and certificates of such insurance being furnished to Landlord prior to commencing the Work. If at any time such entry shall cause disharmony and interference to other contractors, or labor, including strikes or other work stoppages, this license may be immediately withdrawn by Landlord upon notice to Tenant. During such entry, Tenant shall be deemed to be obligated by all of the terms, covenants, provisions, and conditions of the Lease except as to the covenant to pay rent. During such entry, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation under the Lease and specifically shall have no obligation to provide those services called for under Section 6.01 of the Lease prior to the Commencement Date. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord shall not be liable in any way for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of the workers performing the Work, the same being solely at Tenant's risk.

7. Liens. All work in connection with the Work shall be done and completed, in such manner to insure that no mechanic's, materialman's or similar liens attach to the Building and Tenant shall obtain from the Contractor, and subcontractors and materialmen lien waivers and releases, copies of which shall be furnished to Landlord when received. If a claim for any such lien shall be filed against the Building or any part thereof, Tenant shall have such claim of lien immediately removed and present evidence of such removal to Landlord by bonding or other method acceptable to Landlord.

8. Whole Agreement; No Oral Modification. This Workletter, together with the Lease, embodies all representations, warranties and agreements of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the matter described herein, and this Workletter may not be altered or modified except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties.

9. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings contained in this Workletter are for convenient reference only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of such paragraphs.

10. Notices. All notices required or contemplated hereunder shall be given to the parties in the manner specified for giving notices under the Lease.

11. Binding Effect. This Workletter shall be construed under the laws of the State of Texas and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

PARKING

This Exhibit "E" ("Parking Exhibit") describes and specifies Tenant's parking rights. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to use eighty-six (86) unreserved parking spaces ("Spaces") at no cost during the initial Term of the Lease in a parking garage located in or about the Centre ("Parking Garage"). Initially, the Spaces shall be located on the levels of the Parking Garage as designated on Schedule 1 attached to this Parking Exhibit and incorporated herein by reference. Provided, however, Landlord reserves the unconditional right, in its absolute discretion, to relocate the Spaces to any levels within another Parking Garage in or about the Centre at any time and from time to time, but not more often that twice during any year of the Term.

1. Definitions. The terms which are defined in the Lease shall have the same meaning in this Parking Exhibit.

2. Grant and Rental Fee. Provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Lease, Tenant shall be permitted the use of the Spaces during the Term at no charge, subject to such terms, conditions, and regulations as are, from time to time, promulgated by Landlord or the manager of the Parking Garage, or applicable to patrons of the Parking Garage for spaces similarly situated therein, and subject to the Spaces being relocated as provided above. In the event the Premises are increased or decreased during the Term, the number of Spaces available to Tenant shall likewise be increased or decreased so that the aggregate number of Spaces to which Tenant is entitled shall equal one (1) Space for each three hundred ninety (390) square feet of Rentable Area within the Premises for the Parking Garage, and one (1) Surface Parking Space for each two hundred (200) square feet of Rentable Area within the Premises (minus the number of Parking Garage Spaces) for the Surface Parking Spaces.

3. Tenant's Failure to Use Spaces. In the event that Tenant (after the Commencement Date and at any time during the Term) fails to utilize all or any of the Spaces for sixty (60) consecutive business days, and such failure continues for ten (10) day following written notice to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord shall make any withdrawn spaces available to Tenant within ten (10) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written request therefore. The failure, for any reason, of Landlord to provide or make available such Spaces to Tenant or the inability of Tenant to utilize all or any portion of the Spaces shall under no circumstances be deemed a default by Landlord under the Lease so as to permit Tenant to terminate the Lease, in whole or in part.

4. Risk. All motor vehicles (including all contents thereof) shall be parked in the Spaces at the sole risk of Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees and licensees, it being expressly agreed and understood that Landlord has no duty to insure any of said motor vehicles (including the contents thereof), and that Landlord is not responsible for the protection and security of such vehicles. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever for any property damage and/or personal injury which might occur as a result of or in connection with the parking of said motor vehicles in any of the Spaces, and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all costs, claims, expenses, and/or causes of action which Landlord may incur in connection with or arising out of Tenant's operation of vehicles in the parking areas pursuant to this Agreement (other than such liabilities as arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct, of Landlord, its agents or contractors).

5. No Bailment. It is further agreed that this Parking Exhibit shall not be deemed to create a bailment between the parties hereto, it being expressly agreed and understood that the only relationship created between Landlord and Tenant hereby is that of licensor and licensee, respectively.

6. Rules and Regulations. In its use of the Spaces, Tenant shall follow all of the Rules and Regulations of the Building (attached to the Lease as Exhibit "D") applicable thereto, any rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord or the manager of the Parking Garage, as the same may be amended from time to time. Upon the occurrence of any breach of such rules, or default by Tenant under the Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to terminate this Parking Exhibit, in which event Tenant's right to utilize the Spaces shall thereupon automatically cease.

7. Access. Landlord shall be entitled to utilize whatever access device Landlord deems necessary (including but not limited to the issuance of parking stickers or access cards), to assure that only those persons who have contracted to use spaces in the Parking Garage are using the parking spaces therein. Landlord currently limits access to the Parking Garage through the use of a parking entry card system, the cards for which shall be provided by Landlord. These cards are different from and do not, without a specific request from Tenant, entitle the holder thereof to an after-hours entry card to the Building (pursuant to the terms of Section 7.04). Landlord agrees to provide to Tenant eighty-six (86) parking entry cards for a non-refundable deposit of $10.00 per card. Tenant further agrees to surrender all parking entry cards in its possession upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord shall be entitled to cancel any lost or stolen cards of which it becomes aware. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any lost or stolen cards. Tenant shall pay Landlord for each additional card(s) or for each replacement card(s) for any card(s) lost by or stolen from Tenant, in such amount as Landlord shall, from time to time determine, the present charge for such lost or stolen cards being $100.00 per card. Tenant acknowledges that the parking entry card may also be the same as the master entry card used for access to the Building during other than normal business hours, and to the extent the cards are the same, agrees that the provisions of Section 7.04 of the Lease shall also be applicable and in the event of a conflict with the provisions of this Parking Exhibit, the provisions of Section 7.04 shall control. In the event Tenant, its agents or

EXHIBIT "E" TO OFFICE LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 1

employees wrongfully park in any of the Parking Garage's spaces, Landlord shall be entitled and is hereby authorized to have any such vehicle towed away, at Tenant's sole risk and expense, and Landlord is further authorized to impose upon Tenant a penalty of $25.00 for each such occurrence. Tenant hereby agrees to pay all amounts falling due hereunder upon demand therefor, and the failure to pay any such amount shall additionally be deemed an event of default hereunder and under the Lease, entitling Landlord to all of its rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder.

8. Notwithstanding anything seemingly to the contrary herein, Tenant and its employees, agents, suppliers, customers and invitees shall have a non-exclusive right to use, during the Lease Term at no charge, up to eighty-one (81 ) parking spaces (Neon Orange Permit Color) on the surface parking lots of the Building on a first come, first served basis. Landlord reserves the unconditional right, in its absolute discretion, to reduce the amount of surface parking areas of the Centre at any time and from time to time so long as Tenant’s parking rights are not impaired.

9. As availability permits, it is agreed that Tenant shall have the right to substitute up to fifteen (15) of Tenant’s Unreserved Spaces for up to fifteen (15) Reserved Spaces in the Parking Garage and in the event Tenant exercises such option Tenant shall be charged for such fifteen (15) Reserved Spaces (or so many thereof as Tenant elects to utilize) at the rate of $75.00 per space per month.

RENEWAL OPTION

This Exhibit "F" ("Renewal Exhibit") describes and specifies the option, granted by Landlord to Tenant to extend and renew this Lease. Provided that, at the time in question, this Lease is then in full force and effect and there is no uncured event of default under this Lease, Tenant shall have the option ("Option") to renew this Lease as follows:

1. Defined Terms. For purposes of this Renewal Exhibit, all terms defined in the Lease will be utilized herein without further definition. Terms specifically applicable to this Renewal Exhibit shall have the meaning specified in this Renewal Exhibit and shall be delineated by initial capital letters.

Exercise of Option.

(a) Tenant may, by notifying Landlord of its election in writing not less than nine (9) months nor more than twelve (12) months prior to the end of the Term, renew this Lease for an additional term ("Second Term") beginning on the date next following the expiration date of the Term and continuing for sixty (60) months thereafter. The renewal of this Lease will be upon the same terms, covenants, and conditions applicable during the Term, as provided in the Lease, except that (i) the Base Rent payable during the Second Term shall be an amount equal to the existing "market rental rate" (as defined below) as of the date on which the Second Term commences, (ii) the defined term "Term" shall be deemed to include the "Second Term", (iii) no free rent, allowances, options (except as provided in Paragraph 2(b) below), parking concessions, special rent concessions or construction obligations, if any, will apply to the Second Term and (iv) Tenant shall have only the option to renew the Lease specified in Paragraph 2(b) hereof. In addition, Base Rent shall continue to be adjusted as provided in Article Four of the Lease. As used herein, the phrase "market rental rate" shall mean the prevailing rental that a willing tenant would pay and a willing landlord would accept for comparable space in arm’s-length bona fide negotiation for a period of time equal to the term of the Second Term in class-A office buildings within a one (1) mile radius of the Centre, taking into account all relevant factors including, but not limited to, the length of the renewal term, the presence or absence of any leasing commissions payable by Landlord, the quality of services provided, existing leasehold improvements, the credit of Tenant, the quality and age of the building, rental concessions and other inducements then being offered in the market place, and the base year used to calculate operating expense pass-throughs.

(b) Tenant may, by notifying Landlord of its election in writing not less than nine (9) months nor more than twelve (12) months prior to the end of the Second Term, renew this Lease for an additional term ("Third Term") beginning on the date next following the expiration date of the Second Term and continuing for sixty (60) months thereafter.

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

This Exhibit "G" ("Refusal Exhibit") describes and specifies the right of first refusal hereby granted by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the space within the Building described below, which right of first refusal is being granted upon the following terms and conditions:

1. Defined Terms . For purposes of this Refusal Exhibit, all terms defined in the Lease will be utilized herein without further definition. Terms specifically applicable to this Refusal Exhibit shall have the meanings specified in this Refusal Exhibit and shall be delineated by initial capital letters.

2. Grant of Right of First Refusal. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a right of first refusal ("Refusal Right") with respect to approximately 18,419 square feet of Rentable Area located on the fifteenth (15^th) floor of the Building, which is described on Schedule "G-1" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference for all purposes ("Refusal Space").

3. Conditions. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein seemingly to the contrary Tenant’s Refusal Right is subject to and/or conditioned upon the following:

(a)

the existing rights of any other tenants presently occupying space in the Building under their existing leases (as of the date of the Lease, there are no existing rights of any other tenants presently occupying space in the Building for the fifteenth (15^th) floor under their existing lease); and

(b)

the Refusal Right shall not be applicable during any time when there is an uncured event of default under the Lease.

4. Exercise of Refusal Right. In the event the Refusal Space in the Building becomes available, availability, for purposes hereof, to be at the sole determination of Landlord, as Landlord receives a bona fide offer from a third party to lease all or a part of the Refusal Space which Landlord desires to accept, Landlord shall so notify Tenant and shall include in such notice the rental rate for the subject Refusal Space, expense stop and any lease concessions (including Brokerage fees) to be granted by Landlord to such bona fide 3^rd party offeror. Tenant shall have ten (10) days from the receipt of such notice to notify Landlord in writing of the exercise by Tenant of Tenant’s Refusal Right with respect to the subject Refusal Space, which shall be on the same terms and with respect to the entire space specified in Landlord’s notice. In the event that Tenant fails to so notify Landlord within such ten (10) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its Refusal Right with respect to the subject Refusal Space; and Landlord shall have the right to enter into a Lease with such third party with respect to that Refusal Space. In the event that Landlord and such third party fail to agree upon such a lease then Tenant’s Refusal Right shall be reinstated. In the event the Tenant elects to exercise such a Refusal Right with respect to the subject Refusal Space and does in fact exercise such Refusal Right in the manner and within the time period specified herein, Landlord and Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers to Landlord notice of its election, enter into a written amendment modifying and supplementing the Lease and containing such other terms and provisions as may be appropriate. Nothing herein should be construed to permit Tenant to lease some but not all of the Refusal Space if Landlord has received from or provided to a third party a non-binding proposal with respect to all of such space. In the event that Tenant fails to enter into said amendment solely because of tenant delays within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its Refusal Right with respect to the subject Refusal Space; and Landlord shall have the right to enter into a lease with any party with respect to that Refusal Space. Except as may be specifically modified in such amendment and except with respect to the Base Rent, the expense stop, and lease concessions applicable to the subject Refusal Space, as herein specified, the terms and provisions of the Lease, shall, on the day of delivery of the subject Refusal Space to Tenant, automatically apply and become applicable to the subject Refusal Space; and the subject Refusal Space, as of the date of such delivery, shall automatically and without the necessity of further documentation, become and be deemed to be a part of the Premises. Effective as of the date of delivery of the subject Refusal Space to Tenant, the Net Rentable Area within the subject Refusal Space shall be included with the determination of Rent Adjustments and Tenant’s pro rata share of Electrical Costs, as provided in Article Four of this Lease.

Notwithstanding anything herein seemingly to the contrary, if Tenant fails to exercise its refusal rights and a third party enters into a lease with Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to enter into renewals and extensions of such lease on such terms as may be acceptable to Landlord and such third party without triggering Tenant's Refusal Right; provided, however, upon the termination of such lease with the third party, Tenant’s rights under this Exhibit "G" shall be again reinstated in accordance with the terms thereof with respect to the space in question. In addition, if Landlord’s notice to Tenant triggering the right of first refusal applies to only a portion of the Refusal Space, Tenant’s rights shall remain in full force and effect with regard to the remaining Refusal Space in accordance with the terms of the Exhibit "G". Nothing in this paragraph shall require Landlord to give an Offer Notice following the Refusal Right Expiration Date.

5. Delivery of Refusal Space. Any Refusal Space shall be delivered to Tenant vacant and unoccupied and "as is" without benefit of improvements (except Shell Improvements, if any ) unless the refusal notice specifies that an allowance is to be granted for the improvement or refurbishment of the subject Refusal Space, in which event Tenant will receive the allowance specified in Landlord’s notice. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, Landlord’s allowance in connection with the

EXHIBIT "G" TO OFFICE LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 1

Refusal Space shall be decreased on a pro rata basis based upon the length of the remainder of the Lease Term from and after the effective date. In the event that any improvements or restoration work is to be incorporated into the Refusal Space, the amendment shall contain provisions reflecting the agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect thereto. Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to deliver the subject Refusal Space on the date specified in Landlord’s notice of its availability, but in no event shall Landlord have any liability for the failure to deliver the subject Refusal Space to Tenant on such date, nor shall any such failure impair the validity of the Lease, extend the Lease Term (it being understood that the Lease Term with respect to the Refusal Space shall be coterminous with the Lease Term for the Premises), or impair any obligations of Tenant under the Lease, it being understood that the Rent applicable to the subject Refusal Space shall be abated until possession is delivered to Tenant in full settlement of all claims that Tenant might otherwise have against Landlord by reason of the failure to deliver possession of the subject Refusal Space to Tenant.

6. Termination of Refusal Right. The Refusal Right shall automatically terminate upon (a) the end of the lease Term or earlier termination of the lease Term, whether by Landlord upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise, (b) the expiration of the time period specified in Paragraph 2 above, and/or (c) the failure of Tenant to exercise the Refusal Right with respect to any Refusal Space as and within the time period specified in Paragraph 3 above, but only with respect to the subject Refusal Space and the offer in question, unless reinstated as provided above, and (d) upon the assignment, subletting, or other transfer by Tenant other than to a related entity, whether or not with the approval of Landlord.

TERMINATION OPTION

This Exhibit "J" ("Termination Option Exhibit") describes and specifies the rights and obligations of Tenant to terminate this Lease prior to the end of the primary Term specified in the Lease.

1. Defined Terms. For the purposes of this Termination Option Exhibit, all terms defined in the Lease will be utilized herein without further definition.

2. Tenant's Election. Upon Tenant's completing all duties and obligations under this Lease and provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant may at its option elect to terminate this Lease as of 11:59 p.m. of the last day of the forty-eighth (48) full calendar month following the Commencement Date ("Termination Date") by delivering to Landlord not less than six (6) months prior written notice to such effect ("Termination Notice"), and following the Termination Date, this Lease shall be null and void and of no further force and effect, and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Lease, except with respect to obligations and liabilities of Tenant under the Lease accruing or arising prior to the Termination Date, including, without limitation, the indemnification obligations of Tenant arising from facts or circumstances thereunder arising or which arose prior to such Termination Date and the obligations of Tenant described in Paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof.

3. Cessation of Base Rent. Upon proper exercise of the option described herein, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Base Rent and all other charges due under the Lease shall cease and xxxxx in their entirety as of the Termination Date. Landlord shall return any paid, unearned portions of Rent within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date provided that Landlord has first received written demand therefor from Tenant.

4. Settlement Amount. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord an amount ("Settlement Amount") equal to the sum of $ 1,498,869.81 which has been paid by Landlord to or on behalf of Tenant under this Lease, including, without limitation, any tenant improvement allowance, any deferred rent, and any brokerage commission which has been paid and/or is payable by Landlord in connection with the execution of this Lease, amortized over the total number of calendar months in the primary Term, at an interest rate factor of ten and one-half percent (10.5%). Since a portion of the Settlement Amount was incurred by Landlord upon reliance upon Tenant fully performing Tenant's obligations under this Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord will be damaged, upon an election by Tenant to terminate this Lease hereunder, in an amount equal to the aggregate dollar value of this Settlement Amount. The Settlement Amount shall be in the form of a certified or cashier's check or money order made payable to Landlord and shall be delivered to Landlord together with the Termination Notice.

5. Surrender of Premises. After proper exercise of the option described herein, Tenant shall, on or before the Termination Date, surrender occupancy and deliver up the Premises to Landlord in as good condition as upon the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Any personal property remaining in the Premises after the Termination Date shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant, and Landlord may dispose of the same, without incurring any liability to Tenant. Landlord may also remove any such personalty at any time after the Termination Date and store the same and collect storage charges with respect thereto from Tenant on demand. From and after the Termination Date, Tenant shall have no further right to occupy or take possession of the Premises; and Tenant hereby fully and completely waives any right which Tenant may have under the Lease to occupy the Premises subsequent to the Termination Date and to any fixtures or improvements in or on the Premises after the Termination Date.

6. Construction. Should Tenant for any reason whatsoever Default under the Lease prior to the Termination Date, Landlord shall have available all rights and remedies provided under the Lease, notwithstanding this Termination Option Exhibit. Further, should Tenant fail to surrender occupancy and deliver up the Premises as provided in Paragraph 5 of this Termination Option Exhibit, then, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Termination Option Exhibit seemingly to the contrary, such failure shall constitute an event of Default under Section 11.01(10) of this Lease permitting Landlord to exercise immediately, without necessity of any notice or demand, any and all remedies which Landlord may have under this Lease, including, without limitation, the right to terminate Tenant's right to occupy the Premises and re-enter and take possession of the Premises (without terminating this Lease), as specified in Section 11.02(a). Nothing contained in Paragraph 2 hereof shall be construed as releasing Tenant from any obligations arising with respect to any physical damage to the Premises.

EXHIBIT "K" TO THE OFFICE LEASE AGREEMENT
	-1-

THIS SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made by and among Tenant, Landlord, and Beneficiary and affects the Property described in Exhibit A. Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Defined Terms. This Agreement is entered into as of the Execution Date with reference to the following facts:

A. Landlord and Tenant have entered into the Lease covering certain space in the improvements located in and upon the Property (the "Premises").

B. Beneficiary has made or is making the Loan to Landlord evidenced by the Note. The Note is secured, among other documents, by the Deed of Trust.

C. Landlord, Tenant and Beneficiary all wish to subordinate the Lease to the lien of the Deed of Trust.

D. Tenant has requested that Beneficiary agree not to disturb Tenant's rights in the Premises pursuant to the Lease in the event Beneficiary forecloses the Deed of Trust, or acquires the Property pursuant to the trustee's power of sale contained in the Deed of Trust or receives a transfer of the Property by a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure of the Property (collectively, a "Foreclosure Sale") but only if Tenant is not then in default under the Lease and Tenant attorns to Beneficiary or a third party purchaser at the Foreclosure Sale (a "Foreclosure Purchaser").

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. Subordination. The Lease and the leasehold estate created by the Lease and all of Tenant's rights under the Lease are and shall remain subordinate to the Deed of Trust and the lien of the Deed of Trust, to all rights of Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust and to all renewals, amendments, modifications and extensions of the Deed of Trust.

2. Acknowledgments by Tenant. Tenant agrees that: (a) Tenant has notice that the Lease and the rent and all other sums due under the Lease have been or are to be assigned to Beneficiary as security for the Loan. In the event that Beneficiary notifies Tenant of a default under the Deed of Trust and requests Tenant to pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease to Beneficiary, Tenant shall pay such sums directly to Beneficiary or as Beneficiary may otherwise request. (b) Tenant shall send a copy of any notice or statement under the Lease to Beneficiary at the same time Tenant sends such notice or statement to Landlord. (c) This Agreement satisfies any condition or requirement in the Lease relating to the granting of a nondisturbance agreement.

3. Foreclosure and Sale. In the event of a Foreclosure Sale,

(a) So long as Tenant complies with this Agreement and is not in default under any of the provisions of the Lease, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Beneficiary and Tenant, and Beneficiary will not disturb the possession of Tenant, subject to this Agreement. To the extent that the Lease is extinguished as a result of a Foreclosure Sale, a new lease shall automatically go into effect upon the same provisions as contained in the Lease between Landlord and Tenant, except as set forth in this Agreement, for the unexpired term of the Lease. Tenant agrees to attorn to and accept Beneficiary as landlord under the Lease and to be bound by and perform all of the obligations imposed by the Lease, or, as the case may be, under the new lease, in the event that the Lease is extinguished by a Foreclosure Sale. Upon Beneficiary's acquisition of title to the Property, Beneficiary will perform all of the obligations imposed on the Landlord by the Lease except as set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that Beneficiary shall not be: (i) liable for any act or omission of a prior landlord (including Landlord); or (ii) subject to any offsets or defenses that Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (iii) bound by any rent or addi-tional rent which Tenant might have paid in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord) for a period in excess of one month or by any security deposit, cleaning deposit or other sum that Tenant may have paid in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (iv) bound by any amendment, modifica-tion, assignment or termination of the Lease made without the written consent of Beneficiary; (v) obligated or liable with respect to any representations, warranties or indemnities contained in the Lease; or (vi) liable to Tenant or any other party for any conflict between the provisions of the Lease and the provisions of any other lease affecting the Property which is not entered into by Beneficiary.

(b) Upon the written request of Bene-ficiary after a Foreclosure Sale, the parties shall execute a lease of the Premises upon the same provisions as contained in the Lease between Landlord and Tenant, except as set forth in this Agreement, for the unexpired term of the Lease.

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease to the contrary, from and after the date that Beneficiary acquires title to the Property as a result of a Foreclosure Sale, (i) Beneficiary will not be obligated to expend any monies to restore casualty damage in excess of available insurance proceeds; (ii) tenant shall not have the right to make repairs and deduct the cost of such repairs from the rent without a judicial determination that Beneficiary is in default of its obligations under the Lease; (iii) Beneficiary shall not be required to grant nondisturbance to any subtenants of Tenant; (iv) in no event will Beneficiary be obligated to indemnify Tenant, except where Beneficiary is in breach of its obligations under the Lease or where Beneficiary has been actively negligent in the performance of its obligations as landlord; and (v) other than determination of fair market value, no disputes under the Lease shall be subject to arbitration unless Beneficiary and Tenant agree to submit a particular dispute to arbitration.

4. Subordination and Release of Purchase Options. Tenant represents that it has no right or option of any nature to purchase the Property or any portion of the Property or any interest in the Borrower. To the extent Tenant has or acquires any such right or option, these rights or options are acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and are waived and released as to Beneficiary and any Foreclosure Purchaser.

5. Acknowledgment by Landlord. In the event of a default under the Deed of Trust, at the election of Beneficiary, Tenant shall and is directed to pay all rent and all other sums due under the Lease to Beneficiary.

6. Construction of Improvements. Beneficiary shall not have any obligation or incur any liability with respect to the completion of the tenant improvements located in the Premises at the commencement of the term of the Lease.

7. Notice. All notices under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been properly given if delivered by overnight courier service or mailed by United States certified mail, with return receipt requested, postage prepaid to the party receiving the notice at its address set forth in the Defined Terms (or at such other address as shall be given in writing by such party to the other parties) and shall be deemed complete upon receipt or refusal of delivery.

8. Miscellaneous. Beneficiary shall not be subject to any provision of the Lease that is incon-sistent with this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to derogate from or in any way impair or affect the lien or the provisions of the Deed- of Trust. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of in which the Property is located.

9. Liability and Successors and Assigns. In the event that Beneficiary acquires title to the Premises or the Property, Benefi-ciary shall have no obligation nor incur any liabili-ty in an amount in excess of $10,000,000 and Tenant's recourse against Beneficiary shall in no extent exceed the amount of $10,000,000. This Agreement shall run with the land and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and, their respective suc-cessors and permitted assigns including a Foreclosure Purchaser. If a Foreclosure Purchaser acquires the Property or if Beneficiary assigns or transfers its interest in the Note and Deed of Trust or the Property, all obligations and liabil-ities of Benefi-ciary under this Agreement shall terminate and be the responsibility of the Foreclosure Purchaser or other party to whom Beneficiary's interest is assigned or transferred. The interest of Tenant under this Agree-ment may not be assigned or transferred except in connection with an assignment of its interest in the Lease which has been consented to by Beneficiary.
