premises (the "Premises") designated as Suite 800, being all of the 8th floor in
the office building located at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, known as
"Greenway Tower" (the "Building").
B. The Lessor and Lessee desire to amend the Lease as hereinafter set
forth.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Premises. Effective as of May 1, 2001 (the "Renewal Date"), the
Premises shall consist of 51,442 rentable square feet of space in the Building
described as follows:
(a) 10,935 rentable square feet of space located on the sixth
(6th) floor of the Building as shown on Annex 1;
(b) 20,294 rentable square feet of space located on the
seventh (7th) floor of the Building as shown on Annex 2; and
(c) 20,213 rentable square feet of space located on the eighth
(8th) floor of the Building as shown on Annex 3.
2. Base Rent. Beginning on the Renewal Date and continuing thereafter
until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Lessee shall pay Base
Rent under the Lease in the total sum of $6,841,785.72 payable in monthly
installments of $81,449.83 each, which monthly installments are payable on or
before the first day of each month during the remaining term of the Lease,
without offset, demand, set off or deduction except as otherwise expressly
provided for in the Lease.
3. Additional Rent. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessee shall
pay Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses as provided in the
Lease. In addition thereto, Lessee shall pay Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Energy
Costs. As used in this paragraph 3, (a) "Energy Costs" means all costs incurred
by Lessor for: [i] any and all forms of fuel or energy utilized in providing
electricity to the Building; [ii] sales, use, excise and other taxes and charges
assessed by governmental authorities or utility companies on energy sources
supplied to the Building; and [iii] all other costs incurred by Lessor in
providing electricity to the Building; and (b) "Operating Expenses" has the
meaning given to such term in the Lease, however, all Energy Costs shall be
deducted in calculating Operating Expenses. Lessor and Lessee agree that the
-1-
charge for Energy Costs, commencing on the Renewal Date, shall not exceed $1.72
per square foot of rentable area of the Premises, such charge may increase or
decrease by the amount of actual increases or decreases in Energy Costs charged
to Lessor (and calculated by Lessor on the basis of rentable square feet in the
Building) by the electric (or other) utility furnishing such service to the
Building. Lessor shall furnish to Lessee, in writing, any information from the
electric utility relevant to price adjustments, within ten (10) days of receipt
from the electric (or other) utility and prior to the effective date of any such
adjustments. All other provisions of the Lease pertaining to Operating Expenses
apply to Energy Costs.
4. Term. The Lease Term is hereby extended to, and expires on, April
30, 2008. Except as set forth in this Seventh Amendment, Lessee has no further
right to renew or extend the Lease.
5. Tax and Expense Stop; Controllable Operating Expenses.
(a) Effective as of the Renewal Date, the terms "Tax and
Expense Stop", "Tax Stop" and "Expense Stop" as used in the Lease are
amended to mean the actual amount of Taxes and Operating Expenses, as
applicable, per square foot of rentable area of the Property incurred
by Lessor during the calendar year 2001. Lessee acknowledges and agrees
that Energy Costs are not included in the definition of any of the
terms "Tax and Expense Stop", "Tax Stop" and "Expense Stop".
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
elsewhere herein, Lessor agrees that increases of Tenant's Pro Rata
Share of Operating Expenses for Controllable Costs, as hereinafter
defined, will not exceed on an overall basis, an increase of more than
four percent (4%) per year over the prior year commencing in 2002 (for
example, by way of explanation but not by way of limitation, if the
total of the Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for 2002
attributable to elements of cost for Controllable Costs is $4.00 per
rentable square foot of the Premises, the Tenant's Pro Rata Share of
Operating Expenses for Controllable Costs for 2003 could not exceed
$4.16; Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for Controllable
Costs for 2004 could not exceed four percent (4%) of the prior year's
amount or a maximum of $4.33). The term "Controllable Costs" shall
mean all Operating Expenses otherwise allowable under the provisions of
the Lease, except those expenses for ad valorem real estate taxes and
insurance premiums to the extent such insurance premiums are reasonably
competitive. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
elsewhere herein, it is expressly agreed and understood that from and
after the Renewal Date Lessee shall not be required to pay Lessor
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses attributable to
the year 2001.
6. Option to Renew. Lessor hereby grants Lessee and any assignee of
Lessee arising from a Related Transfer (as hereafter defined) but no other
assignee, the option to renew this Lease for an additional term of sixty (60)
months upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) if Lessee desires to renew this Lease, no later than nine
(9) months prior to the expiration date of this Lease, Lessee shall
notify Lessor in writing ("Lessee's Renewal Notice"), by certified
mail, return receipt requested, of its intention to renew;
(b) at all times from and after the date of Lessee's Renewal
Notice, Lessee may not be in default of any of the terms, conditions or
covenants of this Lease beyond applicable cure periods;
(c) The renewed lease shall contain no further renewal options
unless expressly granted by Lessor in writing; and
(d) The Base Rent for the renewal term will be the
then-prevailing rental rate for properties in the Las Colinas Office
Center of equivalent quality, size, utility and location, with the
length of the lease term and credit standing of Lessee to be taken into
consideration (the "prevailing rental rate"). Within sixty (60) days
after receipt of Lessee's Renewal Notice, Lessor shall notify Lessee in
writing of the proposed rental rate.
-2-
If Lessee elects to proceed, Lessee must notify Lessor within the
succeeding fifteen (15) days after receipt of Lessor's notice, and
Lessor will cause an amendment to be prepared for execution by Lessee,
or if Lessee does not agree with Lessor's determination, then Lessee
shall notify Lessor of its calculation of prevailing rental rate within
the fifteen (15) day period. If Lessee fails to notify Lessor within
the 15-day period, it will be deemed to have withdrawn its election to
renew and such option shall thereupon be null and void. If Lessee
responds setting forth a disagreement over the prevailing rental rate,
then the parties shall endeavor to reconcile the calculation of
prevailing rental rate between them within the succeeding ten (10) day
period. If unsuccessful, then Lessee may elect, within the same 10-day
period upon written notice to Lessor, (i) to withdraw its notice of
exercise of the renewal option, in which event, this Lease shall expire
at the end of the then current term, or (ii) to have the prevailing
rental rate determined by appraisal as set forth below, in which latter
event, Lessee shall be bound by its election to renew based on the
prevailing rental rate determined by appraisal. If Lessee fails to
respond within the 10-day period, then it will be deemed to have
elected to withdraw its election to renew and such option shall
thereupon be null and void. If the parties have agreed on the
prevailing rental rate, then Lessee shall execute and return to Lessor,
for execution by Lessor, the amendment within ten (10) days of the date
the amendment is delivered to Lessee.
In the event Lessor and Lessee fail to agree in writing upon
the prevailing rental rate within the 10-day period and Lessee elects
on written notice to Lessor to have the prevailing rental rate
determined by appraisal, the parties agree to the procedure set forth
below:
(a) Within ten (10) days of Lessee's written notice of such an
election, each party, by giving written notice to the other party,
shall appoint an appraiser to render a written opinion of the
prevailing rental rate for the option term. Each appraiser must be a
member of the Appraisal Institute of America (MAI) for at least five
(5) years and with at least five (5) years experience in the appraisal
of similar properties in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area in which the Premises
are located and otherwise unaffiliated with either Lessor or Lessee.
The two appraisers shall render their written opinion of the prevailing
rental rate for the option term to Lessor and Lessee within twenty (20)
days after, their appointment. If the fair market rental rate of each
appraiser is within five percent (5%) of the other, then the average of
the two appraisals of prevailing rental rate shall be the Base Rent for
the renewal term. If one party does not appoint its appraiser as
provided above, then the one appointed shall determine the prevailing
rental rate. The prevailing rental rate so determined under this
subparagraph shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee.
(b) If the prevailing rental rates determined by the
appraisers are more than five percent (5%) apart, then the two
appraisers shall pick a third appraiser within ten (10) days after the
two appraisers have rendered their opinions of prevailing rental rate
as provided above. If the two appraisers are unable to agree on the
third appraiser within said ten (10) day period, Lessor and Lessee
shall mutually agree on a third appraiser within ten (10) days
thereafter. The third appraiser shall be a person who has not
previously acted in any capacity for either party and must meet the
qualifications noted above.
(c) Within twenty (20) days after his appointment, the third
appraiser shall render his written opinion of the prevailing rental
rate for the option term ("Third Opinion"). The appraisal of prevailing
rental rate made by Lessor's or Lessee's appraiser that is closest to
the prevailing rental rate specified in the Third Opinion shall be the
Base Rental during the option term. If the prevailing rental rate set
forth in the Third Opinion is equidistant from the fair market rental
rate made by Lessor's and Lessee's appraiser, then the prevailing
rental rate contained in the Third Opinion shall be the Base Rent
during the renewal term. The prevailing rental rate so determined under
this subparagraph shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee.
(d) Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser and
one-half (1/2) the cost of the third appraiser.
-3-
(e) After the prevailing rental rate for the renewal period
has been established in accordance with the foregoing procedure, Lessor
and Lessee shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease to reflect
the Base Rental of such renewal term.
7. Option to Expand. Provided Lessee is not then in default beyond any
applicable cure periods, of any of the terms, conditions, covenants, obligations
or provisions of this Lease, Lessee shall have, and Lessor grants to Lessee and
any assignee of Lessee arising from a Related Transfer (as hereafter defined)
but no other assignee, the option, which may be exercised from time to time, to
expand the Premises during the first four (4) years after the Renewal Date to
include all or a portion of the 6th floor of the Building not covered by this
Lease (the "6th floor Expansion Space"), subject to, and upon the following
terms and conditions:
(a) if Lessee desires to exercise the option to expand, Lessee
shall notify Lessor in writing ("Lessee's Expansion Notice"), by
certified mail, return receipt requested, of its intention to expand
and, if the additional space identified in Lessee's Expansion Notice is
less than all of 6th floor Expansion Space, the size and location of
the proposed expansion area (the "Expansion Space");
(b) If Lessee elects to lease less than all of 6th floor
Expansion Space, Lessee shall, not be entitled to do so unless the
remaining portion that Lessee does not elect to lease is a leasable
size and configuration as determined by Lessor in Lessor's sole
reasonable discretion (Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary,
if Lessee elects to take Expansion Space up to an existing demising
wall, then a remainder shall not be deemed "unleasable");
(c) Lessee will not be entitled to expand into any Expansion
Space which is subject to a lease for all or a portion of the Expansion
Space and existing on the date of this Amendment; provided, however, if
Lessor has the option to relocate any such lessee under an existing
lease and vacant space approximately equivalent in size to the amount
of such Expansion Space then leased to such lessee is then available
elsewhere in the Building, it will do so, upon receipt of Lessee's
Expansion Notice. Lessor shall not modify any existing lease (as of the
date of this Amendment) to afford rights to the Expansion Space to a
lessee that does not already have such rights as of the date of this
Amendment;
(d) the Base Rent and lessee finish allowance ("Expansion
Allowance") from Lessor applicable to any Expansion Space added to this
Lease will be as follows:
(i) during the first three (3) years after the
Renewal Date, provided Lessee actually occupies the applicable
Expansion Space and has commenced the payment of Base Rent,
Additional Rent and Energy Costs therefor, Base Rent shall be
$19.00 per rentable square foot and the Expansion Allowance
shall be the sum of $24.00 per rentable square foot of the
Expansion Space for construction costs of the Lessee
improvements and $2.00 per rentable square foot for
architectural space planning services;
(ii) during the fourth (4th) year after the Renewal
Date, provided Lessee actually occupies the applicable
Expansion Space and has commenced the payment of Base Rent,
Additional Rent and Energy Costs therefor, Base Rent shall be
$20.00 per rentable square foot and the Expansion Allowance
shall be $15.00 per rentable square foot of the Expansion
Space for construction costs of the Lessee improvements; and
(iii) except for the existing tenants in suites 675
and 690, all of Lessor's reasonable costs resulting from the
relocation of any tenant as a result of Lessee's Expansion
Notice shall be paid from the Expansion Allowance and if the
Expansion Allowance is not sufficient to cover all such
relocation costs, such excess shall be paid by Lessee. Lessor
agrees to relocate the existing tenants occupying suites 675
and 690 at Lessor's expense. Should any other tenant located
on the sixth (6th) floor exercise an option to extend or
renew, it is understood that Lessee will be
-4-
responsible for the payment of any reasonable relocation costs
that may result from the relocation of such tenant, however,
if such cost exceeds $15.00 per square foot, Lessee may cancel
such expansion. If such tenant agrees to relocate to any other
floor upon the expiration of its original lease or earlier and
which relocation is not in response to Lessee's Expansion
Notice, any costs associated with such relocation will be the
sole responsibility of Lessor.
(iv) during the first four (4) years after the
Renewal Date, if Lessee agrees to expand this Lease to include
available space on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th floors of the
Building, all of the terms and conditions of this Section 7
will apply.
Lessor and Lessee agree that all Expansion Allowances shall be
disbursed by Lessor in accordance with and subject to the terms and
conditions of the Work Letter attached hereto as Annex 4, with the
exception that Lessor shall not be required to escrow any such
Expansion Allowance;
(e) After Lessee validly exercises the expansion right
provided herein, Lessor and Lessee shall execute any amendment to the
Lease, adding the Expansion Space, or a new lease for the Expansion
Space, or such other documentation as Lessor shall require, promptly
after Lessor prepares the same; and
(f) Any exercise of an option for less than all the Expansion
Space shall not terminate the option, but the option shall remain in
effect during the option period for the remaining Expansion Space.
8. Right of First Offer. Provided Lessee is not then in default beyond
any applicable cure periods, of any of the terms, conditions, covenants,
obligations or provisions of this Lease, after the end of the fourth (4th) year
following the Renewal Date Lessee shall have, and Lessor grants to Lessee and
any assignee or sublessee of Lessee resulting from a Related Transfer but no
other assignee or sublessee, a right of first offer to lease additional space on
the 6th floor of the Building as follows:
(a) Commencing at the end of the fourth (4th) year following
the Renewal Date and continuing thereafter until the expiration of the
Term (but not any renewal term) of this Lease, if space on the 6th
floor of the Building becomes available for lease (including space made
available due to the holder of any prior right of first refusal or
other option to lease failing to exercise such option or right in a
timely manner), Lessor shall give written notice (the "Offer Notice")
to Lessee of the terms and conditions upon which Lessor is willing to
lease such space which terms will include Base Rent equal to the then
prevailing rental rate.
(b) Lessee may elect to lease less than all of the available
space described in the Offer Notice, but Lessee shall not be entitled
to do so unless the remaining portion that Lessee does not elect to
lease is a leasable size and configuration as determined by Lessor in
Lessor's sole reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing to
the contrary, if Lessee leases additional space pursuant to an Offer
Notice to an existing demising wall, then a remainder shall not be
deemed "unleasable).
(c) Lessee shall have ten (10) days from receipt of the Offer
Notice in which to give written notice to Lessor electing to lease the
space subject to the Offer Notice (or applicable portion thereof,
subject to the limitations set forth above) on the terms offered by
Lessor. Lessee's option to lease the space described in the Offer
Notice shall expire after such ten (10) day period unless such election
has been timely given to Lessor. Lessor and Lessee shall within ten
(10) days after Lessee's acceptance of such offer execute and deliver
to each other an amendment to this Lease prepared by Lessor to document
Lessee's lease of the additional space. In the event that Lessee fails
to timely elect to lease such space or falls to timely execute and
deliver the amendment as aforesaid, then Lessee's right to lease the
space described in the Offer Notice automatically terminates and Lessor
shall be entitled to lease such space to one or more third parties
without regard to such right of first offer.
-5-
Additionally, Lessor agrees to use reasonable efforts to advise Lessee of the
existence of vacant, unleased space on other floors in the Building as such
vacancies occur, provided however, failure to do so will not constitute a
default by Lessor, nor will Lessor incur any liability to Lessee therefor.
9. Services; Restricted Access. Article 7 of the Lease is amended to
provide that Lessor agrees to install an elevator key-card access system
designated by Lessee which is reasonably acceptable to Lessor to allow Lessee to
restrict access, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to the portion of the Premises
located on the 7th and 8th floors (and the 6th floor if Lessee exercises the
option granted herein to expand the Premises to include all of the 0xx xxxxx).
The elevator key-card access system shall be for Lessee's exclusive use. The
cost of providing such restricted access shall be deducted from the Lessee
Improvement Allowance, as defined in this Seventh Amendment to Lease.
Notwithstanding any approval rights relating to the key-card system selected by
Lessee, Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor has not, and by this
Amendment does not, warrant the effectiveness of any such security system and
does not undertake any responsibility for security of the Premises. Lessee
agrees that Lessor and its agents are entitled to access to the Premises for the
purposes set forth in the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the elevator
key-card access system proves to be too costly in Lessee's sole discretion,
then Lessee, at its sole cost (subject to reimbursement from the Allowance, if
any), may designate an alternative means to restrict access to floors in the
Building occupied entirely by Lessee and which is reasonably acceptable to
Lessor.
10. Condition of Premises; Early Occupancy of Sixth Floor.
(a) Lessee has inspected and approved the condition of the
Premises and agrees that the Premises are suitable for Lessee's use and
occupancy. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor has not undertaken and shall
not be required to perform any modifications, alterations or
improvements to the Premises, and that, except as provided in this
Amendment, all installations and improvements now or hereafter placed
on the Premises shall be at Lessee's cost (and Lessee shall pay any ad
valorem taxes and increased insurance thereon or attributable thereto).
(b) Lessee agrees to construct or have constructed within the
Premises, in accordance with working drawings, plans and
specifications prepared by Lessee's architect and approved by Lessor
and Lessee, the improvements which are described in the approved plans.
All construction by Lessee within the Premises shall be subject to the
requirements of Annex 4 attached hereto and made a part hereof.
(c) Lessee may enter the portion of the Premises located on
the sixth floor identified on Annex 1 as "Suite 600" on or after
February 1, 2001 and the portion identified as "Suite 690" on or after
March 1, 2001 to construct Lessee's Work (as defined in the Work Letter
attached hereto as Annex 4). Such entry shall be subject to all of the
terms and conditions of this Lease and Annex 4 attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference, excepting only the obligation to
pay the monthly installment of Base Rent or Tenant's Pro Rata Share of
Operating Expenses.
11. Parking. During the remaining term of the Lease, provided that
Lessee is not in default in the payment or performance of its obligations under
the Lease, Lessor agrees to designate twenty six (26) additional reserved
surface parking spaces along the east side of the Building on the 4th and 5th
aisles from the Lake for use by Lessee.
12. Signage. During the remaining term of the Lease, as long as Lessee
is not in default thereunder, Lessor agrees, to use it best efforts to obtain
all approvals, including, but not limited to approval from Las Colinas
Association, and/or permits required for the installation of Lessee's building
sign similar to the existing Nokia sign. All costs associated with designing,
constructing and/or installing such sign will be deducted from the Allowance
described on Annex 4, attached hereto.
-6-
13. Representations and Warranties by Lessee. Lessee represents and
warrants to Lessor that: (i) Lessee has not previously assigned, sublet,
encumbered or otherwise transferred the Lease or Lessee's interest therein, (ii)
this Amendment constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Lessee and
is enforceable in accordance with its terms, and (iii) Lessee has the requisite
power and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment, and the consent or
joinder of no other person or entity is required in connection therewith.
14. Miscellaneous. Lessor and Lessee agree that the Lease, as modified
by this Amendment, sets forth the entire agreement between Lessee and Lessor
with respect to the rental of the Premises and that there are no statements,
representations, agreements or writings which are collateral or incident to the
Lease or the obligations of Lessor or Lessee thereunder, except as are expressly
set forth in writing in the Lease and in this Amendment. Lessee hereby ratifies
and affirms the Lease as amended hereby and each of Lessee's obligations
thereunder and confirms that, to Lessee's actual knowledge on the date of this
Amendment, Lessee has no offsets, defenses or counterclaims against Lessor under
or in connection with the Lease. Except as amended hereby, the Lease is and
remains in full force and effect as therein written. The provisions of this
Amendment shall serve to supplement and amend the Lease as set forth herein. In
the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Amendment and the
provisions of the Lease, the provisions of this Amendment shall control.
Capitalized terms which are used herein as defined terms but which are not
otherwise defined shall have the same meaning given to such terms in the Lease.
15. Assignment and Subletting. Lessor's consent shall not be required
for a Transfer by Lessee as follows: (i) to an entity that controls Lessee, that
Lessee controls or that is under common control with Lessee as of the date
hereof, (ii) to an entity into which Lessee is merged or consolidated, provided
that the surviving entity's balance sheet (prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) establishes that the surviving entity
then has a net worth equal to or greater than $50,000,000, or (iii) to an entity
which acquires all, or substantially all, of the assets or stock of Lessee,
provided that such purchaser's balance sheet (prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) establishes that such purchaser then
has a net worth equal to or greater than $50,000,000 (hereinafter, any of the
foregoing shall be referred to as a "Related Transfer"). Furthermore, the
provisions of Article 22 (C) and (D) shall not apply to a Related Transfer, but
Lessee shall comply with the terms of Article 22 (E) except for subpart (c)
thereof. The term "control" shall mean fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting
ownership of the entity.
EXECUTED as of the day and year first above written.

December 20, 2000, between GREENWAY TOWER JOINT VENTURE, a Texas joint venture
(Lessor") and ACE CASH EXPRESS, INC., a Texas corporation ("Lessee"), modifying
the Lease (herein so called) more particularly described therein, covering the

1. LESSEE'S PLANS. Lessee shall employ an architect approved by Lessor
and duly licensed to practice in the State where the Premises are located
("Lessee's Architect"), who shall prepare and submit to the Lessor plans,
specifications and drawings describing Lessee's desired improvements to the
Premises or designated portions thereof ("Plans"). The Plans shall be subject to
the prior written approval of Lessor. Lessor's approval of such Plans shall not
render Lessor liable or responsible to Lessee or any other party for any defects
or deficiencies in such Plans or any improvements constructed pursuant to the
terms thereof. Lessee and Lessee's Architect shall be solely responsible for
compliance with all applicable legal requirements, including without limitation
building and fire codes.
2. CONSTRUCTION. Lessee will cause the leasehold improvements described
in the Plans approved by Lessor to be constructed ("Lessee's Work") at Lessee's
cost and expense to the extent such cost and expense exceeds the Allowance
(hereinafter defined), and in accordance with applicable legal requirements and
the building guidelines set forth on Appendix I attached hereto and made a part
hereof for all purposes. Lessee's Work may be constructed in one or more stages
(individually, a "stage").
(a) PERMITS. In connection with Lessee's Work and each stage
thereof, Lessee, or the Contractor, shall file all drawings, plans and
specifications, pay all fees and obtain all permits and applications from any
authorities having jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the permanent
certificate of occupancy. Lessee shall obtain all other approvals required of
Lessee to use and occupy the Premises and to open for business with the public.
(b) APPROVAL. Prior to the commencement of Lessee's work or
any stage thereof, Lessee shall obtain bids and select a contractor, reasonably
acceptable to Lessor, to be the "Contractor" performing the Lessee's Work.
Lessor's approval of the Contractor may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Following such selection and approval from Lessor, Lessee shall then enter into
a construction contract for Lessee's Work or the applicable stage thereof (each
a "Construction Contract") with such Contractor and Lessee shall furnish a copy
thereof to Lessor and when available, the names of all subcontractors or
suppliers furnishing labor or materials for Lessee's Work in excess of $10,000.
The Contractor or subcontractors shall be required to obtain from Lessor
permission for using any area outside the Premises for storage, handling or
moving materials and equipment or for parking any vehicles. In addition, Lessee,
the Contractor and subcontractors shall comply with Lessor's building guidelines
applicable to construction of Lessee's Work which are set forth on Appendix 1
attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes. If any of Lessee's work
relates to areas or conditions over which Lessor requires sole control, then
Lessor shall have the right at Lessor's discretion to perform (or have Lessor's
contractor perform) such portion of Lessee's Work, provided Lessor notified
Lessee prior to seeking bids of such requirement and Lessor's contractor
performs such work at competitive costs.
(c) INSURANCE. The Contractor and subcontractors shall be
required to provide, in addition to the insurance required to be maintained by
Lessee pursuant to the Amendment, the following types of insurance and the
following minimum amounts, and to the extent permitted by law, naming Lessor and
any other persons having an interest in the building as "additional insureds" or
"as their interests may appear", issued by companies and in form and substance
approved by Lessor:
(i) Xxxxxxx'x Compensation coverage with limits of at
least $500,000.00 for the employer's liability coverage
thereunder.
(ii) All Risk Builders Risk on 100% Completed Value,
covering damage to the construction and improvements to be

(d) LIABILITY DURING CONSTRUCTION. Lessee hereby assumes any
and all liability arising out of or relating to Lessee's Work after the date
hereof, including any liability arising out of statutory or common law for any

by, or resulting from the work and upon completion, to remove all temporary
structures, surplus materials, debris and rubbish of whatever kind remaining on
any part of the Premises or in proximity thereto that was brought in or created
by the performance of Lessee's Work. If at any time Lessee's contractors and
subcontractors shall neglect, refuse, or fail to remove any debris, rubbish, or
surplus materials within twenty-four (24) hours after written notice to Lessee,
Lessor may remove the same at Lessee's expense.
(f) CHANGES. All changes to the Plans shall be subject to

thereto, or if requested by Lessor, on the dates specified by Lessor.
3. REMOVAL OF LESSEE'S WORK AT EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF LEASE.
Lessee's Work (including any Changes) shall be the property of Lessor and shall
remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises upon the expiration of the
Lease term; provided, that at Lessor's option, Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole
cost and expense, remove all of wiring and cabling included as part of Lessee's
Work from the Premises upon expiration or termination of the Lease, and restore
any damage to the Premises resulting therefrom, unless Lessor waived in writing
such requirement on or prior to the time Lessee sought approval of the Plans.
4. CONFLICTS AND CONFORMITY WITH LEASE. Any rights and obligations of
Lessor and Lessee relative to any matter not stated in this Work Letter
Agreement shall be governed by the Lease. If there shall be any conflict between
this Work Letter Agreement and the Lease, the provisions of this Work Letter
Agreement shall prevail. As used herein, all capitalized terms not defined
herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the Lease.
5. ALLOWANCE.
(a) Lessee's Work shall be done at Lessee's expense, including building
permit fees, other fees, architectural and engineering expenses and other
expenses relating to Lessee's Work. However, Lessor shall allow Lessee the
following allowances:
(1) a finish-out allowance of $24.00 per rentable square foot
of the Premises (the "Construction Allowance");
(2) an allowance of $2.00 per rentable square foot of the
Premises for space planning and preparation of construction drawing
(the "Design Allowance") to be applied toward payment of actual out of
pocket costs incurred by Lessee in connection with the design and
completion of Lessee's Work; and
(3) an allowance of $1.00 per rentable square foot of the
Premises for moving during construction (the "Moving Allowance");
(the Construction Allowance, Design Allowance and Moving Allowance are
hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the "Allowance"). Lessee shall
be permitted to draw from any of the categories of Allowances to pay for
Lessee's work, including, but not limited to payment of fees due Charter
Associates, Lessee's construction management firm, or such other construction
manager approved by Lessor. In addition to Lessee's Work, Lessee may draw upon
the Allowance to pay the costs for installing signage and/or elevator key-card
access systems, all as described elsewhere in this Amendment.
Lessor acknowledges that Lessee's Work may be performed in stages, with certain
areas of the Premises being constructed and then, subsequently, other areas.
Accordingly, Lessee may draw upon the Allowance from time to time, provided
however, Lessor shall not be required to advance or approve any request for an
advance of, any portion of the Allowance with respect to any invoice or request
for disbursement submitted by Lessee to Lessor after April 30, 2005. The
proceeds of the Allowance shall be used solely for payment of eligible costs
incurred in constructing the permanent leasehold improvements described in the
Plans approved by Lessor or such other costs allowed in the preceding paragraph.
Lessee understands that if the cost of Lessee's Work, including without
limitation any changes in Lessee's Work, exceeds the Allowance, then Lessee
shall be solely responsible for all such costs in excess of the Allowance.
As the Lessee's Contractor constructs Lessee's Work and is entitled to payment
(each such payment, a "Contractor Payment") under the Construction Contract
attributable to the Lessee's Work only, Lessee shall notify Lessor as to the
date on which Lessee's Contractor and architect have scheduled the periodic draw
walk (which shall be no more often than monthly) and Lessor shall be entitled to
participate in the periodic draw walk. Within thirty (30) days after the date on
which Lessee's Contractor and Lessor have agreed upon the amount of any periodic
draw requests as certified by Lessee's architect, Lessor shall be obligated to
reimburse Lessee for such Contractor Payment (to the extent certified by
Lessee's architect) paid by Lessee to Lessee's Contractor until the balance of
the Allowance has been fully utilized. All payments of the Allowance shall be
made to Lessee within thirty (30) days after Lessor's receipt of an invoice from
Lessee requesting reimbursement of such costs and expenses, which invoice shall
include the architects' certification and documentation reasonably acceptable to
Lessor to confirm payment of such costs and expenses, together with a copy of
the draw request and all supporting information and partial lien wavers and
releases from Lessee, Lessee's Contractor and subcontractors. Lessee's
Construction
-12-
Contract shall be subject to a 10% retainage by Lessee. Lessor shall not be
required to reimburse Lessee for the required retainage until thirty (30) days
after Lessor's receipt of: proof that all bills in connection with Lessee's Work
or such stage have been paid in full and all persons or entities with the right
to file a lien in connection therewith have finally waived and released their
lien rights in connection therewith in a manner satisfactory to Lessor; a copy
of Lessee's certificate of occupancy; an original Affidavit of Total Release and
Bills Paid in form acceptable to Lessor signed by Lessee and by the general
contractor, indicating that all subcontractors and suppliers have been paid, and
accompanied by copies of the invoices referred to therein; and a copy of
"as-built" plans of finish-out for such stage.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Lessee may use
the Allowance for cabling and wiring the Premises.
(c) Lessor and Lessee agree that the Allowance shall be
deposited in escrow with a mutually acceptable third party ("Escrow Agent") to
be held by Escrow Agent and dispersed in accordance with the terms hereof.
Lessor, Lessee and Escrow Agent shall enter into a written agreement reflecting
the terms and conditions hereof.
(d) Whenever Lessor's or Lessee's approval or consent is
required under this Work Letter Agreement, it shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned.
