This is a Lease Agreement made and entered into between First Metro Limited Partnership, as "Landlord", and Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc., as "Tenant", whether one or more.
1.1. THE LEASED PREMISES. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the "Leased Premises" which consists of "Tenant's Office Space" and "Common Areas" as defined below.
(a) Tenant's Office Space. "Tenant's Office Space", to which Tenant shall have exclusive use rights, consists of Suite(s) 200-N, representing the office space outlined and shaded on the floor plan contained in Exhibit A. Such space is located in a building on a tract of real property, legally described by lot and block in Exhibit B. The street address of the building is 00000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000.
(b) Common Areas. The "common area", to which Tenant shall have non-exclusive use rights, consists of (1) the interior common area located in the above described building, i.e., areas normally accessible to tenants such as the hallways, stairwells, elevators, lobby, restrooms, and snack bar areas, and (2) the exterior common area located outside the building on the above described land, i.e., loading areas, sidewalks, driveways, parking garage, parking areas, and other open areas (if any), subject to paragraph 9.2 on parking.
1.2. USE. Tenant's office space may be used only for general office purposes. The name of Tenant's business will be Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc.
1.3. RENTABLE AREA. Tenant's "rentable area" is approximately 4,425 square feet. It consists of Tenant's office space, plus Tenant's pro rata share of the building common areas as set forth below. Building common areas are defined as all corridors, restrooms, snack bars, building equipment rooms, telephone closets, janitor closets, enclosed lobby, entrance areas, and other public areas in the building, excluding elevator shafts, stairwells, vertical chases, and enclosed parking areas. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the rentable area of the office space may actually be more or less than the figure stated in this paragraph. Landlord and Tenant agree, however, that even though such figure may be inaccurate or may be susceptible to recalculation based upon different methods of measurement, for all purposes of this lease, the figure stated in this paragraph shall be conclusively deemed to be the rentable area of the office space and shall be the basis for calculating the variable sums due to Landlord by Tenant under this lease.
2.1. BASE RENT AND ADDITIONAL RENTS WITH EXPENSE STOP. Tenant shall pay to Landlord a base rent per calendar month as shown below.

Additional rent representing Tenant's pro rata share of building operating expenses over the base year (the "expense stop") shall be paid in accordance with paragraph 32.1.

3.1. DATE AND PLACE OF PAYMENT. The monthly rent and one-twelfth of Tenant's share of estimated building operating expenses under paragraph 32.1 (i.e., expenses in excess of the expense stop) shall be due on the first day of each calendar month without demand. Partial months shall be prorated. All rent and other sums are due in the county where the building is located at the address designated by Landlord from time to time.

Late charges shall be considered liquidated damages for Landlord's time, inconvenience, and overhead (except for attorney fees and litigation costs) in collecting late rent. Landlord's acceptance of late rent or other sum shall not constitute permission for Tenant to pay the rent or other sum late thereafter and shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's remedies for subsequent late payments. Late payment charges are due immediately upon notice or demand. All payments shall be by check or money order on a local bank, not cash and after the 10th of the month only by cashiers check, certified check or money order.

3.3. SECURITY DEPOSIT. At the time of execution of this lease by Tenant, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord $5,863.13 cash to secure performance of Tenant's obligations under this lease.

If Tenant fails to pay rent or other sums when due under this lease, Landlord may apply any cash security deposit toward amounts due and unpaid by Tenant. If Tenant fails to return any keys to Landlord, $15.00 for each key shall be charged against the security deposit. Tenant shall immediately restore the security deposit to its original amount after any portion of it is applied to amounts due and unpaid by Tenant.
4.1. TERM, COMMENCEMENT, AND ANNIVERSARY. The initial lease term shall begin on the commencement date and shall run through and until January 31, 2006.

The foregoing shall be done only by Landlord's contractors or employees or by third parties approved by Landlord in writing. Tenant shall pay in advance for any requested alterations, improvements, lock changes, or other modifications which are approved and performed by Landlord. If same are performed by Tenant with Landlord's permission, Tenant shall not allow any liens to be placed against the buildings as a result of such additions or alterations.

14.1. REMOVAL OF PROPERTY BY TENANT. Tenant may remove its trade fixtures, furniture, and equipment only if (1) such removal is made prior to the end of the lease term, (2) Tenant is not in default under this lease at time of removal, and (3) such removal is not in anticipation of an early move out prior to the end of the lease term. Tenant shall pay all costs of removal. Tenant shall have no rights to property remaining on the leased premises after move out. Tenant may not remove any alterations as defined in paragraph 13.1 or improvements such as wall-to-wall carpeting, book shelves, window coverings, drapes, cabinets, paneling, counters, kitchen or break room built-ins, shelving, wall covering, and anything else attached to the floor, walls, or ceilings.

Landlord shall not be obligated to approve any sublease or assignment. However, if Landlord gives such approval, Landlord shall be entitled to (1) 50% of any excess between Tenant's rent per square foot under the lease and the rent per square foot under the sublease or assignment, and (2) 50% of any other consideration flowing directly or indirectly from the sub lessee or assignee to Tenant or Tenant's agents. The foregoing is in consideration of additional management performed or to be performed by Landlord under such sublease or assignment. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord will charge Tenant a one-time fee equal to one month's lease rent for such additional administrative, investigative, and management services. Violation of this lease by sub lessees or assignees shall be deemed a violation by Tenant. Approval by Landlord of any sublease or assignment shall not release Tenant from any obligation under this lease and shall not constitute approval for subsequent subletting or assignment. Sub lessees or assignees shall be liable for all of Tenant's obligations under this lease unless otherwise specified in writing. Upon default by Tenant any sub lessee shall pay all sublease rents and other sums due Landlord, direct to Landlord, to be credited against sums owed to Landlord by Tenant under this lease. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, no sublease or assignment shall be valid unless (1) a copy of this lease is attached thereto, (2) the sub lessee or assignee agrees in writing to be liable for all of Tenant's obligations under this lease, and (3) Landlord's written approval is attached to the sublease or assignment. At any time, Landlord may at Landlord's option release Tenant from further liability for all or any portion of Tenant's office space that has been subleased or assigned to a third party; and Landlord may terminate the lease to the extent that it applies to such space.
16.1. DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY. (a) Total destruction, rent abatement, and restoration. If Tenant's office space is totally damaged by fire or other casualty so that it cannot reasonably be used by Tenant and if this lease is not terminated as provided in subparagraph (d) below, there shall be a total abatement of Tenant's rent and Tenant's obligation to pay office building operating expenses until Tenant's office space is restored by Landlord and Tenant.

(b) Partial destruction, rent abatement, and restoration. If Tenant's office space is partially destroyed or damaged by fire or other hazard so that it can be only partially used by Tenant for the purposes allowed in this lease and if this lease is not terminated as provided in subparagraph (d) below, there shall be a partial abatement of Tenant's rent and Tenant's obligation to pay office building operating expenses which fairly and reasonably corresponds to the time and extent to which Tenant's office space cannot reasonably be used by Tenant.
(c) Restoration. Landlord's obligation to restore shall be limited to the condition of the leased premises existing prior to the casualty. Landlord shall proceed with diligence to restore Tenant's leased premises. During restoration, Tenant shall continue business to the extent practical in Tenant's reasonable judgment.
(d) Lease termination. If Tenant's office space or the office building is so badly damaged that restoration and repairs cannot be completed within 6 months after the fire or casualty, then this lease may be terminated as of the date of the destruction by either Landlord or Tenant by serving written notice upon the other. Termination notice must be delivered within 30 days after the casualty.
17.1. CONDEMNATION. If any part of Tenant's office space is taken by condemnation or by deed in lieu of condemnation by any governmental authority, this lease shall terminate one day prior to such taking. If any part of the office building's parking lot is so taken, Tenant's right to use such portion shall terminate one day prior to such taking; and Tenant's rent shall be reduced only to the extent that such partial taking reduces the fair market value of Tenant's office space. Landlord shall pay all costs associated with construction reasonably necessary to render the leased premises usable for Tenant's permitted purposes after such partial taking. All compensation awarded for any partial or total taking of the office building shall be the property of Landlord. If Landlord has received written notice of intent to condemn, Tenant shall upon 10 days written request by Landlord execute an acknowledgment that the lease terminates one day prior to the condemnation of deed in lieu of condemnation and that Tenant claims no interest in the condemnation award. Landlord shall have no interest in any monies paid by the condemning authorities to Tenant for moving costs or for the other personal property within the leased premises (excluding leasehold improvements) if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant.
18.1. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Tenant, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to recover actual (but not exemplary or speculative) damages if: (1) Landlord fails to pay or credit against future rents any sum due and owing to Tenant by Landlord within 30 days after written demand from Tenant, or (2) Landlord remains in default on any other obligation for 30 days after receipt of Tenant's written demand for performance. However, Landlord shall not be in default from Tenant if Landlord promptly commences to cure such noncompliance and diligently proceeds in good faith to cure same after receiving written notice of such default. If taxes and utilities are not timely paid, Tenant may pay same to the extent it is necessary to avert foreclosure or cutoff. If Landlord fails to perform any covenant, term or condition of this lease that Landlord is obligated to perform and, as a consequence of such nonperformance, Tenant shall recover a money judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of Landlord's equity in the office building. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever for any deficiency, and no other property or assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures as a result of such judgment.

19.1. DEFAULT BY TENANT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant: (1) failure to pay monthly base rent and estimated common expenses within 3 days after its due date; (2) failure to pay any other sum due by Tenant under this lease within 7 days after written demand therefor by Landlord; (3) failure to vacate on or before the last day of the lease term, renewal term, or extension period; (4) failure to pay rent in advance on a daily basis in the event of unlawful holdover by Tenant; (5) unauthorized early move-out or notice of same as set forth below; (6) acquisition of Tenant's interest in this lease by a third party by judicial or non-judicial process; or (7) failure to comply with any other provision of this lease or any other lease with Tenant (including rules) within 10 days after written demand by Landlord; (8) Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors: (9) Tenant shall desert or vacate any portion of the office space; (10) the business operated by Tenant ceases to operate for more than 7 consecutive days: or (11) Tenant shall do or permit to be done anything which creates a lien upon the office space or any other portion of the office building.
19.2. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES. If Tenant defaults, Landlord may, without any further notice, exercise any or all remedies set forth below in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity:
(a) Perform on behalf of Tenant. Landlord may enter the office space by force if necessary without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this lease, and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this lease.
(b) Door Locks. Landlord shall be entitled to change or modify door locks on all entry doors of Tenant's office space and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the office space or any part thereof, by force if necessary, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor with or without having terminated this lease. Tenant shall be entitled to a key or to reentry only when all such defaults are cured; provided, however, Landlord shall immediately thereafter post a notice on the primary entry door to Tenant's office space, stating that Landlord has exercised such lockout rights. No other notice requirements or lockout laws shall apply. If Tenant moves out or abandons Tenant's office space, Landlord may permanently change the locks without notice to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to a key or to reentry.
(c) Utilities and services. Landlord may terminate all or any utilities and services that are furnished by Landlord.
(d) Acceleration. Landlord may accelerate all rent for the remainder of the lease term and such accelerated rent shall be due and payable upon delivery of a notice of acceleration to Tenant. Such acceleration rights are in consideration of the rents for the entire term being payable in monthly installments rather than in one lump sum at the beginning of the lease term. If Tenant has already vacated the leased premises, notice of acceleration may be delivered to Tenant pursuant to paragraph 29.1. Liability for additional rents accruing in the future (over and above any base rents) shall not be waived by such acceleration.

(e) Termination of possession. Landlord may terminate Tenant's right of possession (without terminating this lease), and Landlord shall be entitled to immediate possession of the leased premises without termination of Tenant's obligations under the lease. Landlord's repossession shall not be considered an election to terminate this lease unless written notice of such intention to terminate is given to Tenant by Landlord. Commencement of an eviction lawsuit shall not preclude other Landlord remedies under this lease or other laws. If Landlord terminates Tenant's right of possession without terminating this lease and Tenant's space is re-leased, Tenant shall pay upon Landlord's demand the following: (1) all costs of re-letting (which in no event shall be less than one month's rent), including leasing commissions, rent concessions (whether in the form of assuming or buying out lease remainders elsewhere, free rent for a period of time, or reduced rent rates), utilities during the vacancy, advertising costs, administrative overhead, and all costs of repair, remodeling, or redecorating for replacement tenants in Tenant's office space, (2) all rent and other indebtedness due from Tenant to Landlord through the date of termination of Tenant's right of possession, and (3) all rent and other sums required to be paid by Tenant during the remainder of the entire lease term subject to the acceleration paragraphs above.
(f) Termination of lease. Landlord may terminate this lease (as contrasted to termination of possession rights only). Upon such termination Tenant will be liable for and will pay to Landlord the sum of all rental and other indebtedness accrued to date of such termination, plus, as damages, an amount equal to the then present value of the difference between (i) the total rental plus Tenant's pro rata share of building operating expenses for the remaining portion of the Lease Term (had such term not been terminated by Landlord, and (ii) the then fair rental value of the office space for such period. It is agreed by the parties that the actual damages which might be sustained by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default are uncertain and difficult to ascertain, and it is further agreed that the damages calculated in accordance with this paragraph would be reasonable and just compensation for such default and Tenant hereby promises to pay and Landlord hereby agrees to accept such sum as liquidated damages and not as a penalty in the event of such default.
(g) Damages. Landlord may recover actual damages incurred.
20.1. LIEN FOR RENT. Tenant gives to Landlord a contractual lien on all of Tenant's property which may be found on the leased premises to secure payment of all monies and damages owed by Tenant under the lease. Such lien also covers all insurance proceeds on such property. Tenant shall not remove such property while rent or other sums remain due and unpaid to Landlord and such property shall not be removed until all Tenant obligations under the lease have been complied with. This lien is in addition to Landlord's statutory lien under Section 54.021 of the Texas Property Code. If Tenant is in default for nonpayment of rent or any other sums due by Tenant, Landlord's representatives may peacefully enter the leased premises and remove and store all property. If Landlord removes any property under this lien, Landlord shall leave the following information in a conspicuous place inside Tenant's office space: (1) written notice of exercise of lien, (2) a list of items removed (3) the name of Landlord's representative who removed such items and (4) the date of such removal. Landlord shall be entitled to reasonable charges for packing, removing, or storing abandoned or seized property, and may sell same at public or private sale (subject to any properly recorded chattel mortgage or recorded financing statement) after 30 days' written notice of time and place of sale is given to Tenant by certified mail, return receipt requested. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall acknowledge the above lien rights by executing a UCC-1 form or similar form reflecting same.

21.1. ATTORNEY'S FEES, INTEREST, AND OTHER EXPENSES. If Tenant or Landlord is in default and if the non-defaulting party places the lease in the hands of an attorney in order to enforce lease rights or remedies, the non-defaulting party may recover reasonable attorney's fees from the defaulting party even if suit has not been filed. In any lawsuit enforcing lease rights, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees from the non-prevailing party, plus all out-of-pocket expenses. Trial shall be to court only; and all parties waive jury trial. All delinquent sums due by Landlord or Tenant shall bear interest at the maximum lawful rate of interest, compounded annually, from date of default until paid, plus any late payment fees. Late payment fees as set forth in paragraph 3.2 shall be considered reasonable liquidated damages for the time, trouble, inconvenience, and administrative overhead expense incurred by Landlord in collecting late rents, such elements of damages being uncertain and difficult to ascertain. Late payment fees shall not be liquidated damages for attorney's fees or for Landlord's loss of use of such funds during the time of delinquency.
22.1. NONWAIVER. The acceptance of monies past due or the failure to complain of any action, non-action, delayed payment, or default, whether singular or repetitive, shall not constitute a waiver of rights or obligations under the lease. Landlord's or Tenant's waiver of any right or any default shall not constitute waiver of other rights, violations, defaults, or subsequent rights, violations, or defaults under this lease. No act or omission by Landlord or Landlord's agents shall be deemed an acceptance or surrender of the leased premises and no agreement by Landlord to accept a surrender of the leased premises shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by a duly authorized agent of Landlord.
23.1. BUILDING RULES. Landlord's rules for the office building are attached as Exhibit F-2 and are subject to reasonable change if the changes are applicable to all tenants of the office building. Separate parking rules are contained in Exhibit F-1.
24.1. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP BY LANDLORD. If Landlord transfers ownership of the office building (other than as security for a mortgage) and if Landlord has delivered to the transferee all of Tenant's security deposits and any prepaid rents, Landlord shall be released from all future liability under the lease; and such transferee shall become liable as Landlord. Such right to be released of liability shall accrue to subsequent owners only if such transfer is in good faith and for consideration.
25.1. MORTGAGES. Unless otherwise provided in this lease, Tenant shall subordinate and attorn to mortgage liens now or hereafter on the office building. Tenant agrees to execute, from time to time, documentation therefor which is necessary in the reasonable judgment of Landlord. This lease shall be subordinate to all existing and future mortgages. However, such mortgagees may at any time subordinate their lien to this lease by filing a subordination notice in the county real property records without necessity of notice to Tenant. Tenant waives and holds any mortgagee or holder of a security interest harmless from all claims of Tenant against Landlord arising prior to such mortgagee succeeding to the Landlord's ownership interest in the property.
26.1. SURRENDER OF PREMISES. When Tenant moves out, Tenant shall surrender Tenant's office space in the same condition as on the date of lease commencement by Tenant (as changed or improved from time to time in accordance with this lease), less ordinary wear. Removal of property from the leased premises is subject to paragraph 14.1. Upon surrender, Tenant shall provide Landlord with all of Tenant's keys to the Leased Premises and the combination to all safes and vaults, if any in the Leased Premises.

27.1. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession of the leased premises after the expiration or mutually agreed termination date of this lease, without the execution by Landlord and Tenant of a new lease or a renewal or extension of this lease, then (1) Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the leased premises as a tenant-at-sufferance on a daily basis, subject to all obligations of the lease, (2) Tenant shall pay rent for the entire holdover period at a rate equal to the rental herein provided plus 50% of such amount, (3) Tenant shall be subject to all other remedies of Landlord as provided in paragraph 19.2, and (4) Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and/or prospective tenants for damages, including lost rents, storage expenses, and attorney's fees. Holdover rents shall be immediately due on a daily basis and delinquent without notice or demand; the prior written notice and waiting period requirements of this lease shall not be necessary in order for Landlord to exercise remedies for Tenant's failure to timely pay holdover rent.
28.1. SIGNS AND BUILDING NAME. Except for standard suite signage and building directory listings, there shall be no signs, symbols, or identifying marks on or in the building, halls, elevators, staircases, entrances, parking areas, landscape areas, doors, walls, or windows without prior written approval of Landlord. If the lease term is less than 12 months, the cost of initial suite signage for Tenant's space and initial directory strips shall be at Tenant's expense. All signs or lettering shall conform to the sign and lettering criteria established by Landlord. Unless otherwise stated in the rules, suite signage and building directory changes shall be done exclusively by Landlord and at Tenant's expense. Landlord may remove all unapproved signs without prior written notice to Tenant and at Tenant's expense. Landlord may change the name of the building upon six months' written notice to Tenant.
28.2. RELOCATION OF TENANT. Upon at least 60 days' notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to relocate Tenant within the building in lease space which is the same size or larger and usable for Tenant's intended use. Such relocation shall be made at Landlord's sole expense. Rent shall not be increased if the relocation office space is larger or better quality. The relocation date shall be contained in the relocation notice referred to above. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant in connection with such relocation except for property damages caused by Landlord or Landlord's employees, agents, or contractors.
29.1. NOTICES. Whenever written notice is required or permitted under this lease, such notice shall be in writing and shall be either (a) hand delivered personally to the party being notified, (b) hand delivered to or inside such party's mailing address, (c) faxed to such party's facsimile number, or (d) mailed to such party's mailing address by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. The mailing address of Landlord shall be the address to which Tenant normally mails or delivers the monthly rent unless Landlord notifies Tenant of a different address in writing. The mailing address of Tenant shall be Tenant's office space under this lease or such other address designated by Tenant in writing. However, if Tenant moves out, it shall be Tenant's last address known by Landlord. Hand delivered notice is required only when expressly required in the lease. Notice by non-certified mail is sufficient if actually received by the addressee or an employee or agent of addressee. The term "notice" shall be inclusive of notices, xxxxxxxx, requests, and demands.

30.1. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. From time to time, upon 7 days' prior written request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord the estoppel certificate attached as Exhibit G, or in such form as may reasonably be required by a prospective purchaser or lender. If any statement in the estoppel certificate form is contrary to the facts existing at the time of execution of such form, Tenant may correct same before signing. The estoppel certificate may be conclusively relied upon by Landlord and by any prospective lien holder or purchaser of the leased premises. If Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing by the end of such 7-day period, Tenant will be in default of this lease and Landlord may pursue an action against Tenant for damages (including consequential damages) or pursue any of the remedies available under paragraph 19.1 of this lease. If the estoppel certificate discloses the name and address of the entity that will be relying on the estoppel certificate, Tenant shall, during the 120 days following the date of the estoppel certificate, have the duty to give to such entity written notice of any default by Landlord.
31.1. SUCCESSORS. This lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, any guarantors of this lease, and their respective successors and assigns.
31.2. LEASING AGENT COMMISSIONS. No leasing commission shall be due by Landlord to any leasing agent other than Landlord's general leasing agent for the office building and Hill Partners Corporate Services, LLC. Tenant represents and warrants that, except for Hill Partners Corporate Services, LLC, Tenant has not dealt with and has not retained a broker and there are no claims for brokerage commissions or finder's fees in connection with Tenant's execution of this lease, other than Landlord's general leasing agent for the office building. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against and defend and hold Landlord harmless from the cost and expense of any claims of any such brokers or other persons claiming a commission or some other form of recompense under Tenant in connection with this lease, including all expense incurred by Landlord in investigating and defending against such claims.
32.1. BUILDING OPERATING EXPENSE. In addition to the monthly base rent in paragraph 2.1, Tenant shall pay additional rent on a monthly basis, equivalent to Tenant's pro rata share of actual building operating expenses as per Exhibit C. Tenant's responsibility for payment of building operating costs shall only be for the costs in excess of the expense stop detailed in paragraph 2.1.
33.1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY LANDLORD. Landlord warrants that Landlord is the sole owner of the land and improvements that comprise the office building and that Landlord has full right to enter into this lease.

If any date of performance or exercise of a right ends on a Saturday, Sunday, or state holiday, such date shall be automatically extended through the next business day. Time is of the essence; and all performance dates, time schedules, and conditions precedent to exercising a right shall be strictly adhered to without delay except where otherwise expressly provided.

EXHIBIT C
BUILDING OPERATING EXPENSE PASSTHROUGH CALCULATIONS
(See paragraphs 2.1 and 32.1 of lease)
"ESTIMATED" PRORATA BUILDING OPERATING EXPENSES. On or before the beginning of each calendar year, Landlord shall calculate the estimated building operating expenses for that calendar year, according to the criteria in subparagraph (c) below. One-twelfth of Tenant's pro rata share of estimated building operating expenses which are in excess of any expense stop shall be due on the first of each month as additional rent.
YEAR-END ADJUSTMENT FOR OVERPAYMENT OR UNDERPAYMENT BY TENANT BECAUSE OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN "ESTIMATED" AND "ACTUAL" BUILDING OPERATING EXPENSES. After each calendar year of the lease term and renewal or extension periods, Landlord shall determine the actual building operating expenses for that calendar year. If it is then determined that actual building operating expenses were less than estimated expenses and that Tenant's monthly payments of estimated expenses over Tenant's expense stop figure were too much, Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant the excess amount paid by Tenant. If it is determined that actual building operating expenses were more than estimated expenses and that Tenant's monthly payments of estimated expenses over Tenant's expense stop figure were insufficient, Landlord shall invoice Tenant for the amount of Tenant's underpayment. Payment thereof shall be due upon delivery of invoice to Tenant. The foregoing calculations and adjustments may also be made one or more times during the calendar year, at Landlord's option.
DEFINITION OF BUILDING OPERATING EXPENSES. Building operating expenses for each calendar year shall include the following expenses incurred by Landlord in its operation of the building: all ad valorem taxes, assessments and related government charges becoming due on the office space; and on-site personal property leased or owned by Landlord and used in operation of the office space in such period; utilities; premiums for fire, extended coverage, vandalism, and liability insurance on the building and personal property used in building management; landscape expenses; janitorial expenses; window cleaning; supplies; painting and other maintenance expenses; licenses; permits; advertising of the building; maintenance salaries and bonuses; payroll taxes; management office overhead and management fees; and all other managerial and operating expenses which are reasonably related to the operation of the building and utilities serving same. No such category shall include more than 12 months' worth of expenses.

Building operating expenses shall not include: principal and interest payments on mortgages; depreciation or improvements which IRS requires to be depreciated (except as provided above); expenses of repairing damage covered by fire, vandalism, flood, and extended coverage insurance; any expense paid or reimbursed from insurance proceeds; costs of repairing damage for which Landlord is entitled to reimbursement from others, unless it is not economically reasonable to recover or attempt to recover such reimbursement; remodeling costs for new or existing tenants; common area improvements or personal property required by other tenants to be made, purchased, or furnished to such tenants; common area improvements or personal property required by other tenants to be made, purchased, or furnished to such tenants; any utility and air conditioning or heating costs or other expenses which are separately billed to specific tenants; franchise and income taxes of Landlord; leasing commissions; expenses of marketing vacant space in the building; legal fees relating to a specific tenant; structural repairs to roof, foundation, and walls; asbestos removal; installation of sprinklers, fire alarms, and smoke detector systems; and expenses which Landlord is reimbursed for from other parties.
If utilities and taxes included in "Building Operating Expense" are not payable, billed or otherwise due so as to allow an accurate calculation of said factors annually, then Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, may estimate and pro rata said expenses on an annual basis, and said factors shall be properly adjusted by Landlord when they actually become due and payable. Otherwise, expenses must be supported by invoice and actually paid.

Upon reasonable notice, Tenant may examine Landlord's accounting records for retail center operating expenses and other data used in calculating additional rents or rent adjustments. Such examination shall be during normal business hours and must be performed in Landlord's office within sixty (60) days one after delivery of a statement by Landlord to Tenant pertaining to the portion of the retail center operating expenses being audited, thereafter, Tenant will be deemed to have waived any future right of examine or audit the retail center operating expenses. Landlord shall promptly credit to Tenant any overpayment or Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord any deficiency, as the case may be, which is established by such unit.

Guarantor waives any and all subrogation rights against Tenant, but not rights of indemnification.
5. MISCELLANEOUS. Guarantor acknowledges that but for the execution of and delivery of this guaranty, Landlord would not have entered into the above described lease.
