OFFICE LEASE

This Office Lease (the “Lease” or this “Lease”) is made as of February 26, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), between International Bank of Commerce, Laredo, Texas, a Texas state bank (the “Landlord”), and TA Holdings 1, Inc. d/b/a Skinny Pop, a corporation. The following Key Terms Schedule is an integral part of this Lease. Terms defined in this Key Terms Schedule shall have the same meaning throughout the Lease. Provisions in the Key Terms Schedule are referred to by Paragraph number [e.g., Paragraph 1 (Project)] and provisions in the Additional Terms and Conditions portion of this Lease are referred to by Section number [e.g., Section 1 (Lease Agreement)].

KEY TERMS SCHEDULE

Project. (a) Building. IBC Bank Plaza will be a 194,794 Rentable Square Foot, 13 story class “A” building (the “Building”). The Building will be pre-registered as LEED Silver Core & Shell with the U.S. Green Building Council, (b) Land. The land upon which the Building is to be built is described as follows (the “Land”):

Lots 1,2,3, and 4, Block 51, of the ORIGINAL CITY OF ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Texas, according to the map or plat thereof, on record at the General Land Office of the State of Texas, together with the south 10’ of the twenty foot 20’ wide alley adjoining Lots 1,2,3 and 4 as vacated by the City of Austin by instrument recorded in Volume 659, Page 243 of the Real Property Records of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Texas.

Leased Premises. The Leased Premises is Suite 1350 (the “Leased Premises” or “Suite 1350”) and outlined and depicted on Appendix A. Per the attached Appendix D Shell Building Letter the Multi-Tenant floor add on factor is 1.18858. Subject to Tenant’s and Landlord’s right to have the Leased Premises remeasured prior to accepting the Leased Premises for occupancy as provided for in Section 2(E)3, the following is the Rentable Square Feet (“RSF”) of the Leased Premises and its associated proportionate share of Operating Expenses (“Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses”):

Leased Premises

RSF

Tenant’s Proportionate Share

of Operating Expenses

Suite 1350

11,087

5.6917%

3.	Commencement Date. The “Commencement Date” is the date Rent commences to accrue (being the date that Base Rent commences to be conditionally abated). The Commencement Date is the earlier to occur of the following:

(1)

Occupancy (as below defined) of any portion of the Leased Premises by Tenant; or

(2)

Seven days after Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements (as defined in this Lease).

“Occupancy” means Tenant’s occupancy of a portion of the Leased Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Landlord and Tenant shall execute a Commencement Date and Base Rent Confirmation substantially in the form of Appendix E (Commencement Date and Base Rent Confirmation). Tenant shall sign the Commencement Date and Base Rent Confirmation form within seven business days after Tenant’s receipt of the full and correct Commencement Date and Base Rent Confirmation form, and Landlord’s written request to sign such form. Landlord shall sign such form within 10 business days after Landlord’s receipt of the signed form from Tenant, and promptly return an original of the fully executed form to Tenant. If the date that Substantial Completion occurs is delayed due to the time required to implement a Change Order requested by Tenant, the date of Substantial Completion shall be deemed to be the date on which the Tenant Improvements would have been substantially completed but for the delay due to the Change Order.

4.	Term. The term (the “Term”) of this Lease is 109 Lease Months, as may be extended pursuant to Appendix H attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes. The last day of the Term is called herein the “Termination Date”.

Base Rental Rate. “Base Rent” is the aggregate of the Annual Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord determined in accordance with the Base Rent Chart for the Term of the Lease commencing on the Commencement Date. “Annual Base Rent” is the Base Rent for each of the Lease Years of the Term of this Lease. The “Base Rental Rate” is the amount of Base Rent on a RSF basis. Lease Month 1 begins on the Commencement Date. The Annual Base Rental Rate for Lease Year 1 (Lease Months 1 - 12) is $29.50 per RSF* of the Leased Premises and thereafter the Annual Base Rent increases as follows:

Base Rent Chart


Period	Lease Months	Annual Base Rent
Lease Year 1	Lease Months 1 - 12	$ 29.50/RSF*
Lease Year 2	Lease Months 13 - 24	$ 30.25/RSF
Lease Year 3	Lease Months 25 - 36	S31.00/RSF
Lease Year 4	Lease Months 37 - 48	S31.75/RSF

Lease Year 8	Lease Months 85 - 96	$ 34.75/RSF
Lease Year 9	Lease Months 97 - 108	$ 35.50/RSF
Partial Lease Year 10	Lease Month 109	$ 36.25/RSF

Base Rent is conditionally abated for Lease Months 1-2 (the “Abated Rent”) subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

The Base Rent payable for a Lease Month (the “Monthly Base Rent”) is the Annual Base Rent set out in the above Base Rent Chart times the RSF of the Leased Premises divided by 12.

6.	Operating Expenses.

(a)

Tenant’s Proportionate Share. See Sections 2C(2) (Operating Cost Share Rent) and 2D (Payment of Operating Cost Share Rent). In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant is responsible for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses during the Term of this Lease. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses is set out in Paragraph 2 above.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, starting with the 2017 calendar budget year annual increases in Controllable Operating Costs on which Tenant’s Proportionate Share is to be calculated shall be “capped” so as not to exceed increasing more than 6% per annum on a cumulative and compounding basis. “Controllable Operating Expenses” are all Operating Expenses other than taxes, utilities, insurance, minimum wage and costs to comply with governmental regulations or laws.

(b)

Audit Rights. Tenant has Operating Expense audit rights. See Section 2D(3) (Audit Rights).

Tenant Improvement Allowance. See Appendix C (Work Letter). Landlord shall provide $32.28 per Rentable Square Foot in the Leased Premises as the Tenant Improvement Allowance for the construction of the Tenant Improvements, which allowance shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Appendix C attached hereto.

Furthermore, Landlord shall provide an additional allowance (the “Additional Tenant Allowance”) up to an amount of $4.00 per Rentable Square Foot. Should Tenant use the Additional Tenant Allowance, the amount drawn down by Tenant will be amortized over the full lease term at an amortization rate of 7.0%

per annum, and therefore be paid back to Landlord by Tenant in the form of additional rent. No brokerage commissions shall be payable on the additional rent paid as part of the amortized Additional Tenant Allowance.

Construction Process. Subject to the additional terms and conditions set out in the Lease, including at Appendix C (Work Letter), Landlord, through its designated agent, will supervise the construction of the Tenant Improvements and coordinate the relationship between the Tenant, the design consultants (e.g., architect, structural and MEP engineering), the general contractor (Trimbuilt (as defined in Appendix C) is hereby approved by Tenant and Landlord, otherwise such general contractor must be mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant), the Work, the Building and the Building’s systems. In consideration for Landlord’s construction supervision services, Tenant is to pay to Landlord a construction supervision fee equal to 3.5% of the cost of the Tenant Improvements (hard and soft).

9.	Assignment and Subletting. See Section 17 (Assignment and Sublease).

10.	Compliance with Law. See Section 7 Governmental Requirements and Building Rules).

11.	Building Management. IBC Bank Plaza will be professionally managed. Landlord has initially designated Endeavor Real Estate Group and its affiliates as the property manager of the Project.

12.

Non-Disturbance Agreement. Currently there is no lien granted by Landlord to a lender on the Project. Concurrently with the closing of any future loan secured by the Project, Landlord’s lender and Tenant are to execute a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement as provided in Section 16 (Subordination to Ground Leases and Mortgages).

13.	Parking. See Section 4F (Parking).

(a)

Minimum Spaces: and Rates. Landlord shall make available to Tenant, throughout the Initial Term, parking spaces in the parking garage of the Building (the “Building Parking Garage”) during Building Operating Hours and Tenant rents from Landlord parking spaces on a “must take and pay” basis (the “Minimum Spaces”) 20 parking spaces, of which three parking spaces may at Tenant’s election be reserved parking and the reserved parking shall be contiguous parking spaces on the second level of the Parking Garage. Beginning on Lease Month 25, the Minimum Spaces shall increase to 25, of which four parking spaces may at Tenant’s election be reserved parking. Tenant shall pay Landlord at $160/space/month plus sales tax for non-reserved parking and $225/space/month plus sales tax per reserved space. These parking rates to Tenant are fixed for the first 36 Lease Months, and will adjust to the market rate(s) for reserved and unreserved parking spaces in comparable buildings in a four block radius of the Building thereafter. Tenant is not guaranteed parking after Building Operating Hours.

(b)

Reserved Parking. Of these parking spaces, three of the Minimum Spaces will be reserved parking spaces and shall be contiguous parking spaces on the second level of the Building Parking Garage. Tenant’s reserved parking is reserved only during Building Operating Hours.

(c)

Additional Parking. To the extent available and on a month-to-month basis, Tenant may lease additional parking spaces on a monthly basis at the then market monthly charges plus sales tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the option to increase the Minimum Spaces to as many as 25 parking spaces at any time during the first 24 months of the Term by written notification to Landlord, and reserves the right to elect whether such parking spaces are reserved or unreserved spaces.

14.	Building Operating Hours. See Section 4A (Heating and Air Conditioning). Tenant shall have access to the Building, Building Parking Garage, and Leased Premises 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Tenant shall have HVAC service during “Building Operating Hours”, which are:

7:00 AM - 6:00 PM Monday – Friday

7:00 AM - 12:00 PM Saturday.

15.

After Hours HVAC Charges. See Section 4A (Heating and Air Conditioning) and Appendix B (Rules and Regulations). After hours HVAC is available upon demand. The estimated rate per hour is $ 25.00 for the Leased Premises (it being acknowledged and agreed however that the same is just an estimate and such amount remains to be determined and shall be subject to change in the future).

16.	Signage. See Section 4L (Signs). Landlord provides tenant directory(ies) and Building-standard suite signage at Landlord’s expense on or before the Commencement Date.

17.	Security Deposit. An amount of $40.097.98 is to be deposited with Landlord on the Effective Date of this Lease.

18.

Brokers. Endeavor Real Estate Management, LLC is Landlord’s real estate leasing broker for this Lease (the “Landlord’s Broker”). Stream Realty Partners is Tenant’s real estate leasing broker for this Lease (the “Tenant’s Broker”). The commission (the “Brokerage Commission”) paid or payable by Landlord to Tenant’s Broker is set out in separate written agreements executed by the Landlord and the Tenant’s Broker. Landlord shall pay the commissions of each of Landlord’s Broker and Tenant’s Broker (the “Brokers”) subject to separate written agreement and shall indemnify, defend, and hold Tenant harmless from any claims that may be asserted by either such broker with respect to any such commissions and/or any other amounts that may be claimed by such brokers.

19.

Common Areas. “Common Areas” shall mean those areas located within the Building or on or in the Project for the common use or benefit of tenants generally and/or the public, including, without limitation, all parking facilities, hallways, lobbies, corridors, elevators, entrances and exits, restrooms, stairways, service areas (including, but not limited to, electrical, and mechanical rooms), and any other improvements or landscaping on the Land which are designated by Landlord from time to time, for the general use of all occupants of the Building.

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. LEASE AGREEMENT.

On the terms stated in this Lease, Landlord leases the Leased Premises to Tenant, and Tenant leases the Leased Premises from Landlord, for the Term beginning on the Commencement Date, and ending on the Termination Date unless extended or sooner terminated pursuant to this Lease.

2. RENT.

A. Types of Rent. “Rent” as used in this Lease means Base Rent, Operating Cost Share Rent and Additional Rent. Tenant’s agreement to pay Rent is an independent covenant, with no right of setoff, deduction or counterclaim of any kind except as provided for herein.

B. Place and Method of Payment. Tenant shall pay the following Rent in the form of a check to Landlord at such address, or by wire transfer to such account, as may be specified from time to time by Landlord to Tenant.

C. Payment of Rent. Tenant is to pay the following types of Rent:

(1) Base Rent. Tenant is to pay Base Rent in monthly installments in advance, on or before (at Tenant’s sole discretion) the first day of each Lease Month of the Term in the amount set forth on the Key Terms Schedule. If the Term begins on a day other than the first day of a month or ends on a day other than the last day of a month, the Base Rent and Tenant’s Operating Cost Share Rent for such partial month shall be prorated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s monthly installment of Base Rent shall be conditionally abated during the first two months of the Term; provided, that notwithstanding such abatement of Base Rent, Tenant’s Operating Cost Share Rent, all other Additional Rent and other sums due under the Lease shall not be abated and shall be payable as provided for in the Lease. The abatement of Base Rent is conditioned upon the full performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under the Lease, and if a monetary default by Tenant occurs and has not been cured within the applicable notice and cure period, then the abatement of Base Rent provided by this Section shall immediately become void and Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord the unamortized amount (using a straight-line or zero percent amortization rate) of the monthly Base Rent abated pursuant hereto.

(2) Operating Cost Share Rent. Subject to the limitations specified herein, Tenant is to pay Operating Cost Share Rent in an amount equal to the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs for the applicable Fiscal Year of the Lease, paid monthly in advance in an estimated amount.

(3) Additional Rent. Tenant is to pay as “Additional Rent” all costs, expenses, liabilities, and amounts which Tenant is required to pay under this Lease, including any interest for late payment of any item of Rent.

D. Payment of Operating Cost Share Rent.

(1) Payment of Estimated Operating Cost Share Rent. Landlord shall provide a reasonable, good faith estimate of the Operating Costs of the Project (including Taxes, as defined below) by February 1 of each Fiscal Year based on a budget prepared by Landlord in accordance with standard industry and accounting practices. Landlord may revise these estimates whenever it obtains more accurate information, such as the final real estate tax assessment or tax rate for the Project. Within 30 days after receiving the original or revised estimate from Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord l/12^th of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the estimated Operating Costs for such year, multiplied by the number of months that have elapsed in the applicable Fiscal Year to the date of such payment including the current month, minus payments previously made by Tenant for the months elapsed. Thereafter, on the first day of each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay Landlord 1/12^th of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of this estimate, until a new estimate becomes applicable (“Operating Cost Share Rent”).

(2) Correction of Operating Cost Share Rent. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a report for the previous Fiscal Year (the “Operating Cost Report”) by May 1 of each year, or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter but in no event later than June 30 of any given year, setting forth (a) the actual Operating Costs incurred, (b) the amount of Operating Cost Share Rent due from Tenant (inclusive of any Equitable Adjustments, as defined below, thereto), and (c) the amount of Operating Cost Share Rent paid by Tenant. At a minimum, the Operating Cost Report shall be broken down into at least eight categories of costs. Within 30 days after such delivery, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount due minus the amount paid. If the amount paid exceeds the amount due, Landlord shall apply the excess to Tenant’s payments of Rent next coming due (or if the Term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord, then Landlord shall pay such excess to Tenant within 20 days of delivery of such Operating Cost Report).

(3) Audit Right. So long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall have the right to have a certified public accounting firm, acting as Tenant’s agent, and with demonstrated experience in review of leasehold operating expenses (provided that any such 3rd party auditor shall provide such service on a non-contingency basis), examine, copy and audit Landlord’s books and records establishing the Operating Costs for any year for a period of 180 days following the date that Tenant receives the Operating Cost Report for such year from Landlord. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than 15 days’ prior notice of its intention to examine and audit such books and records, and such examination and audit shall take place at the Building. All costs of the accounting firm’s examination and audit shall be borne by Tenant; provided however, for any Fiscal Year after the earlier of (i) 2016 or (ii) the year occurring after the initial stabilization of the

Building (meaning that the Building is at least 95% occupied), if the audit shows that the costs stated in the Operating Cost Report being audited was overstated by more than 3%, then Landlord shall pay the reasonable cost of such audit. If, pursuant to the audit, the payments made for such year by Tenant exceed Tenant’s required payment on account thereof for such year, Landlord shall credit the amount of overpayment against Rent next coming due starting within 30 days after conclusion of the examination and audit (or refund such overpayment within 30 days after conclusion of the examination and audit if the Term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord); but, if the payments made by Tenant for such year are less than Tenant’s required payment as established by the examination and audit, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within 30 days after conclusion of the examination and audit, and the obligation to make such payment for any period within the Term shall survive expiration of the Term. If Tenant does not elect to exercise its right to examine and audit Landlord’s books and records for any year within the time period provided for by this paragraph, Tenant shall have no further right to challenge Landlord’s Operating Cost Report for such calendar year.

(4) Definitions.

(a) Included Operating Costs. “Operating Costs” means the following (except to the extent they are Excluded Operating Costs) all actual expenses, costs and disbursements of any kind which are directly attributable and allocable to the Project, paid or incurred by Landlord, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, in connection with the management of the Building (including the lesser of (i) a market management fee for comparable buildings or (ii) 4% of Base Rent and Operating Cost Share Rent), maintenance, operation, insurance, repair, replacement and other related activities in connection with any part of the Project and of the personal property, fixtures, machinery, equipment, systems and apparatus used on-site and in connection therewith, including the cost of providing those services required to be furnished by Landlord under this Lease, and including any costs related to maintaining and managing the Building with green building standards (e.g., costs related to maintaining and managing LEED certification). Operating Costs shall also include Taxes and the costs of any capital improvements which are intended to reduce Operating Costs, or improve safety, and those made to keep the Project in compliance with governmental requirements applicable from time to time (collectively, “Qualified Capital Expenses”); provided, that the costs of any Qualified Capital Expense shall be amortized by Landlord, together with an amount equal to interest at 10% per annum, over the estimated useful life of such item in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and such amortized costs are only included in Operating Costs for that portion of the useful life of the Qualified Capital Expense which falls within the Term; provided, however, the maximum amount which is added to Operating Costs for any given calendar year for capital improvement item(s) installed for the purpose of reducing Operating Costs shall not exceed the lesser of (1) the annual amortization of the cost of the item(s) or (2) the actual costs saved as a result of the installation thereof in excess of amounts previously amortized therefor.

If the average amount of the Rentable Square Feet of the Building leased during any Fiscal Year of the Term is less than 185,054 rentable square feet (95% of the 194,794 rentable square feet in the Building) on an average annualized basis, and Landlord estimates in its reasonable discretion that the Operating Costs actually incurred by Landlord for the variable costs of (i) janitorial services, and (ii) electricity, water and wastewater services for the Building are lower than what would be incurred for such items if at least 185,054 rentable square feet of the Building were occupied, then at Landlord’s election appropriate adjustments using reasonable cost projections based on industry standards (calculated in a manner which is consistent with the methodology put forth in this Lease) shall be made to increase Operating Costs for such calendar year for the variable costs incurred for janitorial services, and electricity, water and wastewater services as specified above as though Landlord had furnished janitorial services, and electricity, water and wastewater services to -185,054 rentable square feet of the Building. Notwithstanding Landlord’s right to adjust the four expenses as provided above or anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, in no event will Landlord ▇▇▇▇ tenants of the Building or collect from tenants of the Building more than 100% of the actual amount incurred by Landlord for any calendar year for each item specified above. In the event an adjustment (increase(s)) is made pursuant to the terms stated above, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice specifying in reasonable detail the adjustment which was made (including the specifics of the calculation) at the same time Landlord provides Tenant the Operating Cost Report specified in Section 2(D)2 of this Lease. For the purposes of this paragraph, Landlord and Tenant agree the average amount of the Rentable Square Feet of the Building leased shall be determined by the total amount of Rentable Square Feet specified in all of the leases in the Building for which the commencement date of each lease term has begun for each such calendar year during the Term of the Lease. If Landlord does not furnish any particular service whose cost would have constituted an

Operating Cost to a tenant other than Tenant who has undertaken to perform such service itself, Operating Costs shall be increased by the amount which Landlord would have incurred if it had furnished the service to such tenant based on the cost to provide the particular service to other tenants in the Building. Landlord may elect to segregate Operating Costs into two or more subcategories. For example, Landlord may segregate electrical costs and/or other utility costs from other Operating Costs. If Landlord elects to make that segregation, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs shall be determined separately for each such subcategory by making separate calculations of each subcategory of Operating Costs. In the event Landlord reasonably determines from time to time that measurably different amounts or types of services, work or benefits associated with Operating Costs are being provided to or conferred upon such class or group of tenants, Landlord may (and, in connection with any written request by Tenant for Landlord to so create Costs Pools which request results in Landlord making such determination, Landlord shall) equitably allocate some or all of the Operating Costs for the Project among different portions or occupants of the Project (the “Cost Pools”). Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants of the Building and any retail space tenants of the Building. The Operating Costs within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged to the tenants and/or owners within such Cost Pool in a reasonable manner (if not provided for pursuant to separate agreement). Operating Costs for 2015 are currently projected to be $13.90 per RSF.

(b) Excluded Operating Costs. Operating Costs shall not include (“Excluded Operating Costs”):

(1) allowances, concessions and other costs of alterations of tenant leased premises and/or renovating or otherwise improving space for specific current or future occupants of the Building or vacant leasable space in the Building;

(2) costs of initial construction of the Building, and the costs of capital improvements other than Qualified Capital Expenses;

(3) interest and principal payments on mortgages or any other debt costs, or rental payments on any ground lease of the Project;

(4) real estate brokers’ leasing commissions or any fee in lieu of such commission or any other cost incurred in procuring tenants and/or in the leasing, marketing and/or promotion of the Building to tenants of the Building and/or prospective tenants;

(5) legal fees, space planner fees and advertising expenses incurred with regard to leasing the Building or portions thereof;

(6) any cost or expenditure for which Landlord is reimbursed, by insurance proceeds or otherwise (or would be entitled to reimbursement had Landlord been in compliance with its insurance obligations hereunder and/or had submitted a claim to is insurer), except by Operating Cost Share Rent;

(7) the cost of any service furnished to any tenant of the Project which Landlord does not make available to Tenant;

(8) depreciation (except on any Qualified Capital Expenses);

(9) franchise or income taxes imposed upon Landlord, except to the extent imposed in lieu of all or any part of Taxes;

(10) legal and auditing fees which are for the benefit of Landlord such as collecting delinquent rents, preparing tax returns and other financial statements, and audits other than those incurred in connection with the preparation of reports required pursuant to Section 2D(2) above;

(11) compensation paid to officers and executives of Landlord and the wages of any employee for services not related directly to the management, maintenance, operation and repair of the Building or for any employee above the grade of property manager;

(12) fines, late fees penalties and interest;

(13) collection costs and legal fees paid in disputes with tenants including, but not limited to, legal expenses for services, other than those that benefit the tenants of the Building generally;

(14) costs to maintain and operate the entity that is Landlord (as opposed to operation and maintenance of the Project);

(15) governmental charges, impositions, penalties or any other costs incurred by Landlord in order to clean up, remediate, remove or ▇▇▇▇▇ any Hazardous Materials;

(16) bad debt loss, or reserves of any kind, including, but not limited to reserves for bad debt, rent loss or capital items;

(17) repairs, alterations, additions, improvements, replacements made to rectify or correct any defect in the design, materials or workmanship of the Building, the Project, or the Land;

(18) the cost of any special work or service performed for any tenant (including Tenant) at such tenant’s cost, including utilities charged to individual tenants (including Tenant) and after hours HVAC;

(19) any compensation paid to clerks, attendants or other persons in commercial concessions operated by Landlord (including compensation paid to clerks, attendants or other persons in connection with the operations of the Building Parking Garage);

(20) amounts paid to any party, including a division or affiliate of Landlord, providing materials, services, labor, or equipment to the extent that such amounts exceed the competitive costs of such materials, services, labor or equipment when provided by an independent party in an arm’s-length transaction;

(21) costs to maintain a marketing office;

(22) rental payments for base building equipment such as HVAC equipment and elevators (excluding EMS monitoring equipment);

(23) any expenses for repairs or maintenance which are covered by warranties and service contracts, to the extent such maintenance and repairs are made at no cost to Landlord;

(24) political contributions;

(25) charitable contributions, contributions to civic organizations and entertainment charges (except for entertainment made available to all of the tenants of the Building generally), unless approved in writing by Tenant;

(26) all acquisition costs for sculptures, paintings or other works of art;

(27) the cost of any repairs occasioned by eminent domain, whether or not covered by the eminent domain award; and

(28) premiums for terrorism or earthquake insurance.

(c) Taxes. “Taxes” means any and all taxes, assessments and charges of any kind, general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, levied against the Project, which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay in connection with the business of ownership, leasing, and/or renting space in the Project or

of the personal property, fixtures, machinery, equipment, systems and apparatus used in connection therewith. Taxes shall include real estate taxes, personal property taxes, sewer rents, water rents, special or general assessments, transit taxes, ad valorem taxes, assessments by any property owners association or under any deed or other restrictive covenants and any tax levied on the rents hereunder or the interest of Landlord under this Lease, including the so-called “margins tax” passed by the Texas Legislature, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time but only to the extent and for so long as such taxes are determined by reference to the “taxable margin” of Landlord, such taxes to be apportioned as provided by the Texas Tax Code and determined using elections or methods applicable to Landlord that result in the lowest taxable margin, with such taxes being allocated to the Project under generally accepted accounting principles based on the portion of the taxable margin of Landlord from the Project relative to the taxable margin from other sources of Landlord and its affiliates included in any combined group report (the “Rent Tax”). Taxes shall also include all reasonable fees and other costs and expenses paid by Landlord in reviewing any tax and in seeking a refund or reduction of any Taxes, whether or not the Landlord is ultimately successful. For any year, the amount to be included in Taxes (a) from taxes or assessments payable in installments, shall be the amount of the installments (with any interest) due and payable during such year, and (b) from all other Taxes, shall at Landlord’s election be the amount accrued, assessed, or otherwise imposed for such year or the amount due and payable in such year. Any refund or other adjustment to any Taxes by the taxing authority, shall apply during the year in which the adjustment is made. Taxes shall not include any net income (except Rent Tax), capital, stock, succession, transfer, gift, estate or inheritance tax, except to the extent that such tax shall be imposed in lieu of any portion of Taxes. Upon Tenant’s reasonable request, Landlord agrees to protest any substantial increases in Taxes.

(d) Lease Year. “Lease Year” means Lease Year 1 and each consecutive 12-month period following Lease Year 1. “Lease Year 1” is a 12-month period, beginning with the Commencement Date and extending 12 calendar months thereafter. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, then Lease Year 1 shall be the period from the Commencement Date and extending 12 calendar months and the number of days required thereafter to reach the end of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurred, and each subsequent Lease Year shall be the twelve months following the prior Lease Year.

(e) Fiscal Year. “Fiscal Year” means the calendar year, except that the first Fiscal Year and the last Fiscal Year of the Term may be a partial calendar year.

(f) Lease Month. “Lease Month” means each of the calendar months occurring during a Lease Year, except that if the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, then the first Lease Month shall be the period commencing on the Commencement Date and through the final day of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurred.

(g) Operation Standard. Landlord agrees that it will not collect or be entitled to collect Operating Costs from all of its tenants in an amount which is in excess of 100% of the Operating Costs actually paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with the operation of the Project. In any event, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to minimize the amount of Operating Costs consistent with its obligation to maintain the Class A character and first class nature of the Building.

(h) Cap on Controllable Operating Costs. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for purposes of determining Operating Costs payable by Tenant hereunder for the third or any succeeding Lease Year during the initial Lease Term, in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Operating Costs that are “controllable” exceed the amount of such controllable Operating Costs that would be incurred during such Lease Year if such controllable Operating Costs incurred during the first Lease Year increased by 6% per annum each year after the first Lease Year. For purposes hereof, the term “controllable” shall mean all items of Operating Costs that are within the reasonable control of Landlord, but shall specifically exclude utility expenses, insurance costs, taxes, assessments, governmental charges, costs to comply with governmental requirements, and costs incurred because of Force Majeure.

E. Computation of Base Rent and Rent Adjustments.

(1) Prorations. If the Commencement Date of this Lease is on a day other than the first day of a month, Base Rent and Operating Cost Share Rent shall be prorated for such partial month based on the

actual number of days in such month. If the Term of this Lease begins on a day other than the first day, or ends on a day other than the last day, of the Fiscal Year, Operating Cost Share Rent shall be prorated for the applicable Fiscal Year.

(2) Default Interest. Any sum due from Tenant to Landlord not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the lesser of (i) the maximum legal rate allowed by law or (ii) 10% per annum.

(3) Rent Adjustments. The square footage of the Leased Premises and the Building set forth in the Schedule have been calculated by the project architect based on the standards of the Building Owners and Managers Association standard method for measuring floor area in office buildings, ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996 (“BOMA”) of rentable square footage (“RSF” or “Rentable Square Footage”) and usable square footage (“USF” or “Usable Square Footage”) as applied to the finished construction plans for the Building; provided that prior to accepting the Leased Premises for occupancy, Tenant and Landlord shall have the rights to re-measure the Leased Premises and/or the Building to establish the actual RSF and USF set forth in this Lease. If the remeasurement is performed at the request of the Tenant as opposed to Landlord’s direction, Tenant shall bear the cost of the remeasurement unless such remeasurement reveals a discrepancy of greater or equal to a 2% decrease in RSF. Upon completion of such remeasurement, the parties will execute an amendment to this Lease to state or correct the RSF, USF, Tenant’s Proportionate Share, and the amounts of Base Rent payable per month and per year during each Lease Year, and the amounts set forth in the amendment will be conclusive and binding on the parties for the remainder of the Term. If any Operating Cost paid in one Fiscal Year relates to more than one Fiscal Year, Landlord may proportionately allocate such Operating Cost among the related Fiscal Years.

(4) Miscellaneous. So long as Tenant is in default of any obligation under this Lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to a refund of any amount from Landlord. Landlord may commingle any payments made with respect to Operating Cost Share Rent, without payment of interest.

3. PREPARATION. CONDITION. POSSESSION AND SURRENDER OF LEASED PREMISES.

A. Condition of Leased Premises. Except to the extent of Tenant Improvements specified in Appendix C, and the improvements specified in Appendix D. Landlord is leasing the Leased Premises to Tenant “as is”, without any obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair or decorate any part of the Leased Premises except for Landlord’s maintenance, repair and other obligations set forth in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Landlord shall deliver the Leased Premises to Tenant with the Building structure and the systems and the improvements specified in Appendix D serving the Leased Premises in good operating order and condition, free of Hazardous Materials, and in compliance with all laws and (ii) Tenant does not accept the Leased Premises subject to latent defects in the Leased Premises of which Tenant notifies Landlord in writing within 12 months after the Commencement Date. Landlord shall cause the Building Shell to be completed in accordance with the Work Letter attached as Appendix C.

B. Tenant’s Possession. Tenant’s taking Occupancy shall be conclusive evidence that the Leased Premises is as of the date of such Occupancy in good order, repair and condition except for any Punch List Items (as defined in Appendix C). If Landlord authorizes Tenant to (and Tenant actually takes) Occupancy of the Leased Premises prior to the Commencement Date for purposes of doing business, all terms of this Lease shall apply to such pre-Term possession, including Base Rent at the rate set forth for the First Lease Year in the Schedule prorated for any partial month.

C. Maintenance.

(1) By Tenant. Throughout the Term, except for the Landlord’s maintenance, replacement, and repair obligations specified in this Lease Tenant shall maintain the Leased Premises in a clean, safe, and operable condition, loss or damage caused by the elements or Landlord and/or any party related thereto, wear and tear, condemnation, and fire and other casualty excepted, and at the termination of this Lease, or Tenant’s right to possession, Tenant shall return the Leased Premises to Landlord in broom-clean condition. To the extent Tenant fails to perform either obligation within 15 days after the Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s written request

specifying the maintenance and/or cleaning Landlord is requesting, Landlord may, but need not, restore the Leased Premises to such condition and Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost thereof. Additionally, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall repair, replace and maintain in good condition any air conditioning unit exclusively serving Tenant’s computer server room. With respect to any portion of the Leased Premises visible from any common area inside the Building (the “Visible Leased Premises”). Tenant shall (i) maintain such Visible Leased Premises and furniture, fixtures and equipment located therein in a neat and first-class condition throughout the Term and any extension thereof, (ii) not use the Visible Leased Premises exclusively for storage, (iii) obtain Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, as to the interior paint color, signage, and carpeting, contained in the Visible Leased Premises, (iv) complete within the Visible Leased Premises any cleaning reasonably requested by Landlord within two business days after Landlord’s written request therefor, and (v) complete within the Visible Leased Premises any repairs necessary to fulfill Tenant’s obligations under this Lease within five business days after Landlord’s written request therefor specifying the repair Landlord is requesting and thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion, but no longer than 30 days. Tenant shall repair or replace, subject to Landlord’s direction and supervision, any damage to the Project caused by Tenant or its employees, agents, or invitees unless the cost of said repair or replacement is otherwise covered by Landlord’s insurance or would have been covered by Landlord’s insurance had Landlord obtained and maintained the insurance required in this Lease. If the repair or replacement is not subject to Landlord’s insurance as specified in the preceding sentence, and Tenant fails to commence to make such repairs or replacements within 15 days after (i) the occurrence of such damage, and (ii) Tenant’s receipt of written notice from Landlord specifying the repair(s) or replacement(s) Landlord is requesting, and thereafter diligently pursue the completion thereof (or, in the case of a bona fide emergency, such shorter period of time as is reasonable given the circumstances, which emergency and shorter period will be specified in Landlord’s written notice to Tenant specifying the repair(s) or replacement(s) Landlord is requesting, then Landlord may make the same at Tenant’s cost. If any such damage occurs outside of the Leased Premises, or if such damage occurs inside the Leased Premises but affects the Building’s Systems and/or Building’s structure or any other area outside the Leased Premises, and the repair or replacement related to such damage is not subject to Landlord’s insurance coverage as specified above in this paragraph, then Landlord may elect to repair such damage at Tenant’s expense, rather than having Tenant repair such damage. The cost of all maintenance, repair or replacement work performed by Landlord under this Section, in each case plus an administrative fee of 6 % of such cost, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within 30 days after Landlord has invoiced Tenant therefor. Tenant’s obligations to repair and/or maintain contained in this paragraph shall be limited to the interior of the Leased Premises, and shall in no event include any structural elements, any building systems (including without limitation plumbing systems, sprinkler systems, and HVAC ducts), regular wear and tear or casualty loss to the extent that they are to be insured by property insurance specified to be carried by Landlord in this Lease.

(2) By Landlord. Landlord shall maintain and repair the Common Areas of the Project, Building’s structure, the Building’s Systems (including, but not limited to, electrical, HVAC, life-safety, plumbing, storm water and other drainage, elevator, and sprinkler systems) serving the Leased Premises as well as all other portions of the Project, the parking areas and other exterior areas of the Project, including driveways, alleys, landscape and grounds of the Project and utility lines in a good condition, and the exterior walls, windows, roof, and foundation in a manner consistent with the operation of similar Class A office buildings in the market in which the Project is located, including maintenance, repair and replacement of the exterior of the Project (including painting), landscaping, sprinkler systems and any items normally associated with the foregoing. All costs in performing the work described in this Section shall be included in Operating Costs except to the extent specifically excluded hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall, in its commercially-reasonable discretion, determine whether, and to the extent, repairs or replacements are the appropriate remedial action, and Landlord shall not be liable for failure to make any repairs until receipt of written notice from Tenant of the need for such repairs and a reasonable time for Landlord to commence and complete such repairs.

4. PROJECT SERVICES.

Landlord shall furnish services as follows:

A. Heating and Air Conditioning. During the Building Operating Hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, excluding New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day (“Building Holidays”). Landlord shall

furnish heating and air conditioning and ventilation (“HVAC”) in the Leased Premises and the Common Areas inside the Building to provide a comfortable temperature for the use and occupancy of these areas as maintained in comparable buildings not owned or controlled by Landlord or an affiliate in close proximity to the Building (with good faith efforts to try and maintain temperatures between 72 and 76 degrees Fahrenheit), except to the extent Tenant installs equipment which is not typically found in other tenant spaces in the Building, and such equipment adversely affects the comfortable temperature maintained by the air conditioning system. If Tenant installs such equipment and Tenant does not modify and/or remove such equipment within 10 days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s written notice documenting the adverse condition, Landlord may install supplementary air conditioning units in the Leased Premises which are necessary to maintain the comfortable temperature in the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent the cost of installation, operation and maintenance thereof within 30 days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice(s) therefor and reasonable substantiation for all amounts.

Landlord shall furnish HVAC service (i) before or after the Building Operating Hours or (ii) on Building Holidays, upon the written request (or such other means as may be reasonably requested by Landlord) by Tenant delivered to Landlord’s designated property manager before 3:00 p.m. on the business day preceding such required service, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord its then standard cost of such services within 30 days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor. Landlord’s reasonable estimate for 2015 after-hours charges that is being utilized for all tenants in the Building for HVAC is $25 per hour per zone (zones are a full Floor in the Building), plus any applicable sales or other taxes; however, Landlord and Tenant agree that such figure may be adjusted after Landlord provides Tenant with a minimum of 15 days advance written notice for increases which will be based solely on increases in Landlord’s actual electrical costs for providing such services and shall not be interpreted as the maximum amount which may be charged to Tenant during the Term. Landlord agrees that the costs charged to all tenants in the Building for such after-hours service shall be the same, and no tenant shall be provided such service at a reduced rate and/or for free.

B. Elevators. Landlord shall provide passenger elevators for ingress and egress to the floor on which the Leased Premises is located in common with Landlord and all other tenants of the Building provided that Landlord may reasonably limit the number of operating elevators before or after Building Operating Hours and on Building Holidays, but in any event no less than one elevator shall be available at all times and provide service. Tenant shall have the use of the freight elevators during Building Operating Hours free of charge, including during the performance of Tenant’s Work and furniture move-in.

C. Electricity. Landlord shall provide sufficient electricity to operate normal office lighting and equipment. Tenant shall not install or operate in the Leased Premises any electrically operated equipment or other machinery, other than business machines and equipment normally employed for general office use, without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord. If any or all of Tenant’s equipment requires electricity consumption in excess of that which is necessary to operate normal office equipment, or if Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant is using electricity materially in excess of a normal office tenant, then such consumption (including consumption for computer or telephone rooms and special HVAC equipment) shall, at Landlord’s election, be submetered by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for the cost of its submetered consumption based upon Landlord’s average cost of electricity. Such Additional Rent shall be in addition to Tenant’s obligations pursuant to Section 2C(2) (Operating Cost Share Rent) to pay its Proportionate Share of Operating Costs.

D. Water. Landlord shall furnish tap water for drinking and toilet purposes at those points of supply provided for general use of tenants of the Building.

E. Janitorial Service. Landlord shall furnish janitorial services five days per week after 6:00 p.m. if provided on any day Monday through Friday. The current janitorial specifications are attached hereto as Appendix F (Janitorial Specifications).

F. Electric Lighting Service. Electric lighting service for the Leased Premises, Common Areas and parking facilities, and replacement of all light bulbs and lamps, ballasts and starters and/or any other part associated with such electric lighting in all such areas;

G. Property Management Services. Landlord shall provide property management services;

H. Other Services. Landlord shall provide the following additional services and/or equipment:

(1) washing of the outside windows in the Leased Premises not less than once per calendar year;

(2) general maintenance of all Common Areas including removal of trash, snow and ice therefrom;

(3) pest control for the Leased Premises, Building and Project;

(4) sprinkler and fire alarm systems as required by governmental authorities for the Building and Project;

(5) interior plant maintenance in the Common Areas; and

(6) landscaping services;

Unless specified to the contrary in this Lease, all of the services stated herein shall be provided at a level which is equal to that found in comparable, multi-tenant office buildings in Austin, Texas not owned or controlled by Landlord or an affiliate in close proximity to the Building.

I. Parking. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 41. and the terms of Paragraph 13 on the Key Terms Schedule, the terms of Paragraph 13 shall govern and prevail.

(1) Rates. Tenant shall be directly responsible to Landlord or, if applicable, any parking facility operator (in either event, the “Operator”) as directed by Landlord in a written notice to Tenant (i) prior to the Commencement Date, and (ii) at any time thereafter for the payment of any and all fees and charges for all reserved and non-reserved parking spaces provided hereunder based on the rates stated above in Paragraph 13. Tenant shall not tow cars or otherwise enforce its parking rights against third parties unless the Operator fails or refuses to do so after written notice from Tenant.

(2) Rules and Regulations. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce Tenant’s parking rights against third parties. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to impose reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may deem necessary to regulate parking within the Project provided such existing and/or future rules and regulations (i) are consistent for all tenants of the Buildings, (ii) applied uniformly among all tenants of the Buildings, and (iii) do not materially and adversely affect Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Building Parking Garage including registration of license plate numbers for vehicles driven by Tenant’s employees, issuance and monitoring of parking tags or permits and/or controlled access points.

(3) DISCLAIMER. LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS TO ANY AUTOMOBILE (OR PROPERTY THEREIN) PARKED IN, ON OR ABOUT SUCH PARKING AREAS, OR FOR ANY INJURY SUSTAINED BY ANY PERSON IN, ON OR ABOUT SUCH AREAS.

(4) Retail Spaces. Landlord shall have the right to designate certain parking spaces as reserved for retail customers during certain days of the week and/or during certain times, as reasonably determined by Landlord; provided, however, such designation does not adversely affect Tenant’s rights hereunder (including Tenant’s rights with respect to the number and agreed upon location of parking spaces).

J. Interruption of Services. If any of the Leased Premises, Building and/or Project equipment or machinery ceases to function properly for any cause Landlord shall use commercially reasonable diligence to repair the same promptly. Landlord’s inability to furnish, to any extent, the Project services set forth in

this Section 4, or any cessation thereof resulting from any causes, including any entry for repairs pursuant to this Lease, and any renovation, redecoration or rehabilitation of any area of the Building, shall not render Landlord liable for damages to either person or property or for interruption or loss to Tenant’s business, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor work an abatement of any portion of Rent except as provided for herein, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof. If, however, the Leased Premises or any portion thereof are rendered Untenantable for a period of seven consecutive days following Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of a written notice regarding such matters (the “Eligibility Period”) as a result of the failure to provide any service(s) specified in this Section 4. Tenant’s Base Rent and Operating Cost Share Rent shall be abated after the expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time as the Leased Premises (or portion thereof, as the case may be) remain Untenantable, in the same proportion as the rentable area rendered Untenantable bears to the total rentable area of the Leased Premises; provided, however, there shall be no abatement of Base Rent and Operating Cost Share Rent, if the failure is caused by a governmental directive or failure of a utility provider to provide service to the Project and Landlord has no control over such failure and/or has not caused such failure. As used herein, “Untenantable” means the Leased Premises is in a condition not reasonably usable or accessible by Tenant or its employees for the conduct of its business.

K. Building Access. At all times during the initial Term, Landlord shall install and maintain an electronic card-key or equivalent access control system for entry into the Building, Building Parking Garage, and for elevator operation before or after Building Operating Hours and/or on Building Holidays for the use of Tenants well as their employees. On or before the Commencement Date, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant 30 access cards which will permit access to the Building and for elevator operation at the times specified in the preceding sentence, with up to 25 of those access cards providing access to the Building Parking garage 24 hours per day, seven days per week, 356 (or 366) days per year, and no Tenant Party shall make a duplicate thereof. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the then-current reasonable charge for (and have access to) additional access cards for access to the Building, elevator, and Building Parking Garage or replacement of any lost access cards or for any additional access cards, but in no event shall more than 25 access cards have the capability to enter the Building Parking Garage subject to the next sentence. If Tenant needs additional parking spaces, Tenant shall be responsible for paying for the additional parking spaces at the rights set forth in Paragraph 13 of the Key Terms Schedule and such parking spaces shall have access cards as set forth above.

L. Signs. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall include Tenant’s name in the Building-standard lobby directory, and any other signage directory, and shall install building standard suite signage next to Tenant’s entrance. In addition, see Section 16 of the Key Terms Schedule.

M. Security. Landlord shall provide one on-site security personnel 24 hours per day, 365 (366) days per year. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to adopt such additional policies, procedures and programs as it shall, in Landlord’s sole discretion, deem necessary or appropriate for the security of the Building, and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in the enforcement of, and shall comply with, the policies, procedures and programs adopted by Landlord insofar as the same pertain to Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors and invitees.

(3) Any third party obtains a levy or attachment under process of law against Tenant’s leasehold interest.

13. LANDLORD REMEDIES.

A. Termination of Lease or Possession. If Tenant defaults, Landlord may elect by notice to Tenant either to terminate this Lease or to terminate Tenant’s possession of the Leased Premises without terminating this Lease. In either case, Tenant shall immediately vacate the Leased Premises and deliver possession to Landlord, and Landlord may repossess the Leased Premises and may, at Tenant’s sole cost, remove any of Tenant’s signs and any of its other property, without relinquishing its right to receive Rent or any other right against Tenant.

B. Lease Termination Damages. If Landlord terminates the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent due on or before the date of termination, plus Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the aggregate Rent that would have been payable from the date of termination through the Termination Date, reduced by the rental value of the Leased Premises calculated as of the date of termination for the same period, taking into account anticipated vacancy prior to reletting, reletting expenses and market concessions, both discounted to present value at the rate of 5% per annum. If Landlord shall relet any part of the Leased Premises for any part of such period before such present value amount shall have been paid by Tenant or finally determined by a court, then the amount of Rent payable pursuant to such reletting (taking into account vacancy prior to reletting and any reletting expenses or concessions) shall be deemed to be the reasonable rental value for that portion of the Leased Premises relet during the period of the reletting.

C. Possession Termination Damages. If Landlord terminates Tenant’s right to possession without terminating the Lease and Landlord takes possession of the Leased Premises itself, Landlord may relet any part of the Leased Premises for such Rent, for such time, and upon such terms as Landlord in its sole discretion shall determine, without any obligation to do so prior to renting other vacant areas in the Building. Any proceeds from reletting the Leased Premises shall first be applied to the reasonable expenses of reletting, including redecoration, repair, alteration, advertising, brokerage, legal, and other reasonably necessary expenses. If the reletting proceeds after payment of expenses are insufficient to pay the full amount of Rent under this Lease, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord monthly upon demand as it becomes due. Any excess proceeds shall be retained by Landlord.

D. Landlord’s Remedies Cumulative. All of Landlord’s remedies under this Lease shall be in addition to all other remedies Landlord may have at law or in equity. Waiver by Landlord of any breach of any obligation by Tenant shall be effective only if it is in writing, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any other breach, or any subsequent breach of the same obligation. Landlord’s acceptance of payment by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver of any breach by Tenant, and if the acceptance occurs after Landlord’s notice to Tenant, or termination of the Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession, the acceptance shall not affect such notice or termination. Acceptance of payment by Landlord after commencement of a legal proceeding or final judgment shall not affect such proceeding or judgment. Landlord may advance such monies and take such other actions for Tenant’s account as reasonably may be required to cure or mitigate any default by Tenant. Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for any such advance, and such sums shall bear interest at the default interest rate under Section 2E(2) above until paid.

▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE. EACH PARTY SHALL BRING ANY ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE IN A FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN ▇▇▇▇▇▇ COUNTY, TEXAS, CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE ANY PROCEEDING TRANSFERRED FROM SUCH COURTS ON THE GROUND OF IMPROPER VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM.

F. Litigation Costs. Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs in enforcing this Lease, if no suit is filed. In the event that any action or proceeding is brought to enforce any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on the part of Landlord or Tenant, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees to be fixed by the court in such action or proceeding. The term “Prevailing Party” is defined to mean the party who obtains a determination of wrongful conduct by the other party regardless of whether actual damages are awarded (e.g., the Prevailing Party may be a Party which is ordered to pay $100.00 where the obligation to pay $80.00 was undisputed and the claiming Party claimed that it was entitled to $1,000.00).

14. SURRENDER.

Upon expiration or termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, Tenant shall return the Leased Premises to Landlord as provided for in this Lease.

15. HOLDOVER.

Tenant shall have no right to holdover possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. If, however, Tenant retains possession of any part of the Leased Premises after the Term, Tenant shall become a month-to-month tenant for the entire Leased Premises upon all of the terms of this Lease as might be applicable to such month-to-month tenancy, except that Tenant shall pay all of Base Rent at 150% of the rate in effect immediately prior to such holdover, computed on a monthly basis for each full or partial month Tenant remains in possession. Tenant shall also pay Landlord all of Landlord’s direct and consequential damages resulting from Tenant’s holdover, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims made by other tenants or prospective tenants against Landlord for delay by Landlord in delivering possession of the Leased Premises because of any such holdover. No acceptance of Rent or other payments by Landlord under these holdover provisions shall operate as a waiver of Landlord’s right to regain possession upon demand, or any other of Landlord’s remedies.

16. SUBORDINATION TO GROUND LEASES AND MORTGAGES.

A. Subordination. Landlord represents that there is no present ground lease or mortgage respecting the Project. This Lease shall be subordinate to a future ground lease or mortgage, provided that, at the request of Landlord, Tenant or the ground lessor or mortgagee, the other parties shall within 10 days of the request, execute and deliver to the requesting party any reasonable documents provided to evidence the subordination; provided that such documents evidence that Tenant shall not be disturbed by any such subordination and/or attornment and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as against such transferee. Any mortgagee has the right, at its option, to subordinate its mortgage to the terms of this Lease, without notice to, nor the consent of, Tenant. Landlord shall obtain a fully executed Subordination, Attornment, Notice and Non-Disturbance Agreement in the standard form of any mortgagee or other commercially reasonable form as soon as reasonably practicable after request for such signature is made by Landlord or Tenant. If Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises in its entirety to any party other than an Affiliate Transferee (as defined in Section 17(G) any rights of Tenant to renew this Lease, extend the Term or to lease additional space in the Project shall be extinguished thereby and will not be transferred to the assignee or subtenant, all such rights being personal to the Tenant named herein or an Affiliate Transferee.

B. Termination of Ground Lease or Foreclosure of Mortgage. If any ground lease is terminated or mortgage foreclosed or deed in lieu of foreclosure given and the ground lessor, mortgagee, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale shall thereby become the owner of the Project, at the option of such ground lessor, mortgagee or purchaser, Tenant shall attorn to such ground lessor or mortgagee or purchaser without any deduction or set off by Tenant, and this Lease shall continue in effect as a direct lease between Tenant and such ground lessor, mortgagee or purchaser. The ground lessor or mortgagee or purchaser shall be liable as Landlord only during the time such ground lessor or mortgagee or purchaser is the owner of the Project. At the request of Landlord, ground lessor or mortgagee, Tenant shall execute and deliver within 10 days of the request any document furnished by the requesting party to evidence Tenant’s agreement to attorn.

C. Security Deposit. Any ground lessor or mortgagee shall be responsible for the return of any security deposit by Tenant only to the extent the security deposit is received by such ground lessor or mortgagee.

D. Notice and Right to Cure. Tenant agrees to send by registered or certified mail to any ground lessor or mortgagee identified in a notice from Landlord to Tenant a copy of any notice of default sent by Tenant to Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default within the required time period under this Lease, but ground lessor or mortgagee begins to cure within 10 days after such period and proceeds diligently to complete such cure, then ground lessor or mortgagee shall have such additional time as is necessary to complete such cure, including any time necessary to obtain possession if possession is necessary to cure, and Tenant shall not begin to enforce its remedies so long as the cure is being diligently pursued.

E. Definitions. As used in this Section 16, “mortgage” shall include “deed of trust” and “mortgagee” shall include “beneficiary” under such deed of trust, “mortgagee” shall include the mortgagee of any ground lessee, and “ground lessor”, “mortgagee”, and “purchaser at a foreclosure sale” shall include, in each case, all of its successors and assigns, however remote.

17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE.

A. In General. Except for an assignment or sublease to an Affiliate as set out in Section 17G. Tenant shall not, without the prior consent of Landlord in each case, (i) make or allow any assignment or transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, (ii) grant or allow any lien or encumbrance, by operation of law or otherwise, upon any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, (iii) sublet any part of the Leased Premises, or (iv) permit anyone other than Tenant and its employees to occupy any part of the Leased Premises. Tenant shall remain primarily liable for all of its obligations under this Lease, notwithstanding any assignment or transfer. No consent granted by Landlord shall be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment or transfer, lien or encumbrance, sublease or occupancy. Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any consent requested by Tenant or in reviewing any proposed assignment or subletting up to $1,000. Any assignment or transfer, grant of lien or encumbrance, or sublease or occupancy without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be void. Tenant has the right to bona fide advertise the availability of the space without restrictions as to the rental rate advertised.

B. Landlord’s Consent. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting. It shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any assignment or sublease if any of the following conditions exist (“Disqualifying Conditions”): (i) Tenant is in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, (ii) the proposed assignee or sublessee is (A) a tenant in the Project, or has received a proposal or letter of intent from Landlord or its agent during the six months prior to Tenant providing the notice specified in Section 17C below, is in active lease negotiations with Landlord and (B) Landlord can accommodate the proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s space requirements, (iii) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a government entity, (iv) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a bank, (v) the lease by the proposed assignee or sublease by the subtenant violates an exclusive granted now or hereafter granted by Landlord (e.g., Landlord has granted an exclusive to a title company), or (vi) in the reasonable judgment of Landlord the purpose for which the assignee or subtenant intends to use the Leased Premises (or a portion thereof) is inconsistent with Class A office buildings. The foregoing shall not exclude any other reasonable basis for Landlord to withhold its consent. Notwithstanding any subleases by Tenant, Tenant will at all times remain primarily liable and responsible for all Rent, parking charges and costs associated with the subleased premises.

C. Procedure. Tenant shall notify Landlord of any proposed assignment or sublease at least 15 days prior to its proposed effective date. The notice shall include the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant, its corporate affiliates in the case of a corporation and its partners in a case of a partnership, an execution copy of the proposed assignment or sublease, and sufficient information to permit Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character of the proposed assignee or subtenant. As a condition to any effective assignment of this Lease, the assignee shall execute and deliver in form satisfactory to Landlord at least 7 days prior to the effective date of the assignment, an assumption of all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. As a condition to any effective sublease, subtenant shall execute and deliver in form satisfactory to Landlord at least 7 days prior to the effective date of the sublease, an agreement to comply with all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and at Landlord’s option, an agreement (except for the economic obligations which subtenant will undertake directly to Tenant) to attorn to Landlord under the terms of the sublease in the event this Lease terminates before the sublease expires.

D. Change of Management or Ownership. Any transfer of the direct or indirect power to affect the management or policies of Tenant or direct or indirect change in 50% or more of the ownership interest in Tenant shall constitute an assignment of this Lease. Provided, however, if there is (i) a change in ownership of Tenant as a result of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or joint venture and the new ownership entity fully assumes all obligations of Tenant under this Lease; (ii) any entity succeeding to the business and assets of Tenant; or (iii) the sale, exchange, issuance, or other transfer of Tenant’s stock on a national exchange, Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s consent and Landlord shall have no right to delay, alter, or impede any of the foregoing transactions or combinations thereof.

E. Excess Payments. If Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet any part of the Leased Premises for consideration in excess of the pro-rata portion of Rent applicable to the space subject to the assignment or sublet, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent 50% of any such excess (after deducting Tenant’s reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs in entering into such sublease or assignment, including without limit, marketing costs, attorney’s fees, commissions, and Building-standard improvements) immediately upon receipt.

F. Recapture. In the event that the assignment or sublease is either for substantially all of the Leased Premises or 80% of the then remaining Term, or both, Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within 15 days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of assignment or subletting, terminate this Lease with respect to the space described in Tenant’s notice, as of the effective date of the proposed assignment or sublease and all obligations under this Lease as to such space shall expire except as to any obligations that expressly survive any termination of this Lease (“Recapture”). Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event Landlord elects to Recapture, Tenant may elect to withdraw its request for the Landlord’s consent to such transfer and maintain such portion of the Leased Premises the subject of the transfer as part of the Leased Premises by written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord’s election to recapture.

G. Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign its entire interest under this Lease to an “Affiliate” (defined as any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant)or to a successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation or reorganization or by purchase of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets, without the consent of Landlord and without payment of any additional fee to Landlord. Tenant shall be released from future liability under this Lease if the proposed transferee (i.e., Affiliate or Tenant’s successor) has a net worth at least as great as Tenant’s net worth as of the Effective Date of this Lease.

18. CONVEYANCE BY LANDLORD.

If Landlord shall at any time transfer its interest in the Project or this Lease, Landlord shall be released of any obligations occurring after such transfer (provided such transferee assumes Landlord’s obligation under the Lease arising after the date of such transfer), except the obligation to return to Tenant any security deposit not delivered to its transferee, and Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s successors for performance of such obligations. This Lease shall not be affected by any such transfer.

19. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

Tenant shall, within 10 days of receiving a request from Landlord, execute, acknowledge in recordable form, and deliver to Landlord or its designee a certificate stating, subject to a specific statement of any applicable exceptions, that the Lease as amended to date is in full force and effect, that the Tenant is paying Rent and other charges on a current basis, and that to the actual knowledge of Tenant, Landlord has committed no uncured defaults and Tenant has no offsets or claims, except as otherwise indicated. Tenant may also be required to state the date of commencement of payment of Rent, the Commencement Date, the Termination Date, the Base Rent, the current Operating Cost Share Rent estimate, the status of any improvements required to be completed by Landlord, the amount of any security deposit, and such other matters as may be reasonably requested. Failure to deliver such certificate and statement within the time required shall be conclusive evidence against Tenant that this Lease, with any amendments identified by Landlord, is in full force and effect, that there are no uncured defaults by Landlord, that not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance, the amount of any security deposit paid by Tenant, and that Tenant has no claims or offsets against Landlord.

20. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord on the date of this Lease, security for the performance of all of its obligations in the amount set forth on the Key Terms Schedule. If Tenant defaults under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord may use any part of the Security Deposit to make any defaulted payment, to pay for Landlord’s cure of any defaulted obligation, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage resulting from any default. Landlord shall provide Tenant with an itemized report setting forth the application and use of the Security Deposit. To the extent any portion of the deposit is used, Tenant shall within five business days after written demand accompanied by such report from Landlord restore the deposit to its full amount. Landlord may keep the Security Deposit in its general funds and shall not be required to pay interest to Tenant on the deposit amount. If Tenant shall perform all of its obligations under this Lease and return the Premises to Landlord at the end of the Term, Landlord shall return all of the remaining Security Deposit to Tenant within 30 days after the end of the Term. The Security Deposit shall not serve as an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Landlord’s damages for any default under this Lease.

21. FORCE MAJEURE.

The parties shall not be in default under this Lease to the extent they are unable to perform any of its obligations on account of any strike or labor problem, energy shortage, governmental pre-emption or prescription, national emergency, or any other cause of any kind beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (“Force Majeure”): provided Force Majeure shall not excuse Tenant’s obligation to timely pay Rent hereunder.

22. NOTICES.

All notices, consents, approvals and similar communications to be given by one party to the other under this Lease, shall be given in writing, and either (i) mailed by first class, United States Mail, postage prepaid, certified with return receipt requested, or (ii) sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iii) faxed, or (iv) personally delivered as follows:

C. Meaning of “Landlord”, “Re-Entrv, “Including” and “Affiliate”. The term “Landlord” means only the owner of the Project and the lessor’s interest in this Lease from time to time. The words “re-entry” and “re-enter” are not restricted to their technical legal meaning. The words “including” and similar words shall mean “without limitation.” The word “affiliate” shall mean a person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the applicable entity. “Control” shall mean the power directly or indirectly, by contract or otherwise, to direct the management and policies of the applicable entity.

D. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each provision of this Lease. As used herein, the term “business day” shall mean all days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and all days observed by either the State of Texas or the United States government as legal holidays. All references to “days” that do not specifically refer to “business days” will refer to calendar days. If any date set forth in this Lease for the delivery of any document or the happening of any event should, under the terms hereof, fall on a day that is not a business day, then such date will be automatically extended to the next succeeding business day.

E. No Option. This document shall not be effective for any purpose until it has been executed and delivered by both parties; execution and delivery by one party shall not create any option or other right in the other party.

G. Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the state in which the Project is located, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws.

If Landlord breaches any of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing and shall take no action respecting such breach so long as Landlord promptly begins to cure the breach and diligently pursues such cure to its completion, but in no event more than 60 days after such notice. Tenant hereby waives any right which Tenant may have to claim any lien or to withhold, ▇▇▇▇▇ or deduct from, or offset against rent under Texas Property Code §91.004(b) or otherwise. Landlord may cure any default by Tenant; any reasonable expenses incurred shall become Additional Rent due from Tenant on demand by Landlord.

K. Authority. Landlord and Tenant each represents to the other that it has full power and authority to execute and perform this Lease.

L. Landlord’s Enforcement of Remedies. Landlord may enforce any of its remedies under this Lease either in its own name or through an agent.

M. Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Lease, together with all Appendices, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. No representations or agreements of any kind have been made by either party which are not contained in this Lease. This Lease may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, which together will constitute one in the same agreement.

N. Landlord’s Title. Landlord’ s title shall always be paramount to the interest of the Tenant, and nothing in this Lease shall empower Tenant to do anything which might in any way impair Landlord’s title.

P. Singular and Plural. Wherever appropriate in this Lease, a singular term shall be construed to mean the plural where necessary, and a plural term the singular.

T. Survival. All obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Lease shall survive the termination of this Lease.

U. Rent Not Based on Income. No rent or other payment in respect of the Leased Premises shall be based in any way upon net income or profits from the Leased Premises. Tenant may not enter into or permit any sublease or license or other agreement in connection with the Leased Premises which provides for a rental or other payment based on net income or profit.

V. Building Manager and Service Providers. Landlord may perform any of its obligations under this Lease through its employees or third parties hired by the Landlord.

W. Late Charge and Interest on Late Payments. Without limiting the provisions of Section 12A, if Tenant fails to pay any installment of Rent or other charge to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease within five business days after the same becomes due and payable more than one time in any Fiscal Year, then Tenant shall pay a late charge equal to 5% of the amount of such payment. In addition, interest shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on any late payments of Rent from five days after the date due until paid at the rate provided in Section 2E(2). Such late charge and interest shall constitute Additional Rent due and payable by Tenant to Landlord upon the date of payment of the delinquent payment referenced above.

X. Usury Savings. All agreements between Landlord and Tenant, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount contracted for, charged or received by Landlord for the use, forbearance or retention of money hereunder or otherwise exceed the maximum amount which Landlord is legally entitled to contract for,

charge or collect under the applicable state or federal law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be automatically reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance Landlord shall ever receive as interest or otherwise an amount in excess of the maximum that can be legally collected, then such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of rent hereunder, and if such amount which would be excessive interest exceeds such rent, then such additional amount shall be refunded to Tenant.

Y. Waiver of Warranties. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE LEASED PREMISES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY THAT THE LEASED PREMISES ARE SUITABLE FOR ANY COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Z. Method of Calculation. Landlord and Tenant hereby each acknowledge and agree that they are knowledgeable and experienced in commercial transactions and further hereby acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Lease for determining charges, amounts and additional rent payable by Tenant are commercially reasonable and valid even though such methods may not state precise mathematical formula for determining such charges. ACCORDINGLY, TENANT HEREBY VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND BENEFITS TO WHICH TENANT MAY BE ENTITLED UNDER SECTION 93.012 OF THE TEXAS PROPERTY CODE, AS SUCH SECTION NOW EXISTS OR AS SAME MAY BE HEREAFTER AMENDED OR SUCCEEDED.

BB. Tenant’s Financial Statements. Within 10 days after Landlord’s written request therefor, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the most recent annual and quarterly financial statements of Tenant, certified by a member, partner, or officer of Tenant to be true and accurate in all material respects, and including a balance sheet and profit and loss statement, all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that Landlord shall not request such financial statements more than one time per calendar year unless such request is in conjunction with Landlord’s sale of the Building, refinancing of the Building, or during an default of Tenant. Landlord understands and agrees that this financial information is confidential and will not divulge any information from or give the original or a copy to anyone other than an employee of Landlord unless it first obtains a confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.

26. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.

Except for incidental amounts customarily used by office tenants, Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substances to be brought upon, produced, stored, used, discharged or disposed of in or near the Project unless Landlord has consented to such storage or use in its sole discretion. “Hazardous Substances” include those hazardous substances described in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq., any other applicable federal, state or local law, and the regulations adopted under these laws. If any lender or governmental agency shall require testing for Hazardous Substances in the Leased Premises as a result of or arising out of the use or occupancy of the Leased Premises by Tenant in violation of the requirements of this Lease, Tenant shall pay for such testing. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and obligations of any nature arising from the contamination of the Project with Hazardous Substances as a result of or arising out of the use or occupancy of the Leased Premises by Tenant. The foregoing indemnification shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

27. EXCULPATION.

LANDLORD SHALL HAVE NO PERSONAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS LEASE; ITS LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO ITS INTEREST IN THE PROJECT, AND SHALL NOT EXTEND TO ANY OTHER PROPERTY OR ASSETS OF THE LANDLORD. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, AGENT, SHAREHOLDER, PARTNER, MEMBER OR BENEFICIARY OF LANDLORD BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY OF LANDLORD’S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

Landlord agrees to diligently pursue substantial completion of the Building Shell and Site Improvements. Tenant shall be permitted to use, at no additional cost, a pro-rata share of space within the Building’s risers for Tenant’s telecommunications wiring, but subject to Landlord’s reasonable rules and regulations related thereto.

2. Tenant Improvements.

Landlord will advise Tenant of the additional expense and any delay that Landlord reasonably expects to incur as a result of the proposed Change Order. Landlord will have no obligation to proceed with the Change Order unless and until the Change Order is executed and delivered by Tenant accompanied by payment of any additional costs Landlord will incur as a result of the Change Order, to the extent such additional costs exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

(b) Construction of the Tenant Improvements.

(1) Construction Obligation. Landlord shall cause the Tenant Improvements to be constructed, in a good workmanlike manner in the Leased Premises in accordance with the Construction Drawings.

Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Punch List Items to be completed as soon as reasonably possible. Within 30 days after the Substantial Completion Date, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of any claimed deficiencies in the Tenant Improvements, including any mechanical adjustments or minor details of construction (the “Punch List Items”). Within 10 business days after receipt of such notice (or upon any other mutually agreeable date), Landlord shall cause corrective work that is required to be begun and diligently prosecute same to completion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be responsible for correcting any damage caused to the Tenant Improvements by Tenant or its employees, contractors or agents in connection with the

Tenant’s move into the Leased Premises or any other reason other than the fault of Landlord, Landlord’s Representative or Trimbuilt (and their respective employees, contractors or agents). Except for latent defects in the materials and workmanship of the Tenant Improvements (which are subject to Trimbuilt’s 1 -year warranty that Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce for the benefit of Tenant), if Tenant fails to give Landlord notice of any patent deficiency as provided herein, then Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Tenant Improvements inclusive of such deficiency and waived any right to corrective work with respect to the same.

This fee is chargeable against the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

(4) Access by Tenant Prior to Commencement of Term. Landlord at its discretion may permit Tenant and its agents to enter the Leased Premises prior to the Substantial Completion Date to prepare the Leased Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy. Any such permission shall constitute a license only, conditioned upon Tenant’s:

(b) obtaining in advance Landlord’s approval of the contractors proposed to be used by Tenant and depositing with Landlord in advance of any work (i) security satisfactory to Landlord for the completion thereof, and (ii) the contractor’s statement of the scope of work to be performed (or a copy of its construction contract with Tenant) and the form of lien waivers intended to be utilized by the contractor and all subcontractors and suppliers of material; and

(c) furnishing Landlord with such insurance as Landlord may require against liabilities which may arise out of such entry.

Landlord shall have the reasonable right to withdraw such license for any reason upon 24 hours’ written notice to Tenant.

APPENDIX H

RENEWAL OPTION

1. Renewal Option. So long as Tenant is not then in default under the Lease and is in actual occupancy of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall have one option (the “Renewal Option”) to extend the Term of the Lease for an additional 9 year period, with such period commencing on the date upon which the Lease would have otherwise expired (each a “Renewal Term”). This Renewal Option is personal to Tenant and may not be assigned to any subtenant or assignee. Tenant may only exercise the Renewal Option by notifying Landlord in writing no less than 12 months and no more than 14 months prior to the date upon which the Lease would have otherwise expired that Tenant wishes to extend the term of the Lease (the “Tenant’s Renewal Notice”‘). The Leased Premises shall be available on an “as is” basis during the Renewal Term. Tenant’s failure to notify Landlord of its election to extend the Term of the Lease during the above time period shall render the Renewal Option (and any remaining Renewal Options) null, void, and of no further force and effect, time being of the essence. The terms and conditions of the Lease shall continue to apply without modification during the applicable Renewal Term except that Base Rent shall be determined as provided below.

2. Base Rent. The Base Rent for the Renewal Term shall be 100% of the then-current “market base rent” for the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term (the “Market Base Rent”), which shall be the base rental rates for renewals and/or direct leases (not subleases) for similar space (making appropriate adjustments, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, for the age of building, quality, size, location, floors, views, concessions, exclusive use of a balcony, and expenses) by “no-equity tenants” of comparable credit-worthiness, in Class A, LEED certified, office buildings in the Austin, Texas Central Business District then available for lease.

3. Mutual Agreement as to Base Rent. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice (“Landlord’s Base Rent Notice”), within 20 days after receiving Tenant’s Notice, of Landlord’s determination of the Market Base Rent for the Renewal Term, including any annual escalations. If Tenant agrees with Landlord’s determination, Tenant shall so notify Landlord within 10 days after receipt of Landlord’s Base Rent Notice, and the Market Base Rent for the Renewal Term shall be as stated therein. In the event that Tenant does not agree with Landlord’s determination, Tenant shall so notify Landlord within 10 days after receipt of Landlord’s Base Rent Notice (“Tenant’s Base Rent Notice”), which objection notice must propose an alternative Market Base Rent for the applicable Renewal Term as determined in good faith by Tenant, and Landlord and Tenant shall have 20 days from the date of Tenant’s objection notification to agree upon the Market Base Rent. If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon the Market Base Rent for the Renewal Term within such 20-day period, then the Market Base Rent for the Leased Premises shall be determined by “Baseball Arbitration”, as set forth in Section 4 below.

4. Baseball Arbitration.

(a) Arbitrator Determined Base Rent. If Landlord and Tenant shall fail to agree upon a final and binding Market Base Rent for the Renewal Term as set forth above, then within 15 days after the end of such 20-day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each designate an arbitrator; and within 20 days of Landlord and Tenant each designating an arbitrator, Landlord’s arbitrator and Tenant’s arbitrator shall mutually designate a third arbitrator (collectively referred to herein as the “Arbitrators” and individually as an “Arbitrator”). If Landlord and Tenant shall fail to timely designate an arbitrator, or if the two Arbitrators shall fail to timely agree upon the choice of such third Arbitrator, then either party may apply to the American Arbitration Association or any successor thereto having jurisdiction to designate an arbitrator. The Arbitrators shall each be a licensed real estate broker that (i) is familiar with recent direct leases (not subleases) of Class A office buildings in the Austin, Texas Central Business District, and (ii) has no direct or indirect financial or other business interest in any party hereto or the Building, and is not affiliated with any party hereto. The Arbitrators shall conduct such hearings and investigations as they may deem appropriate and shall, within 30 days after the designation of the third Arbitrator, determine which of the two proposals shall be the Market Base Rent (which shall be either the Market Base Rent proposed by Landlord in the Landlord’s Base Rent Notice or the Market Base Rent proposed by Tenant in Tenant’s Base Rent Notice, but no other amount), such determination to be made by majority vote of the Arbitrators and which vote shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant, provided that the Arbitrators shall not have the power to add to, modify, or change any of the provisions of this Lease. Each party shall pay its own counsel fees and expenses, if any, in connection with any arbitration under this Clause, and the parties shall share equally all other expenses and fees of any such Arbitration.

(b) Tenant’s Determination of Market Base Rent Within or Not Within 105% of Landlord’s Determination. In the event that the determination of the Market Base Rent set forth in the Tenant’s Base Rent Notice differs from the determination of the Market Base Rent in the Landlord’s Base Rent Notice by 5% or less per Rentable Square Foot per annum on average for the applicable Renewal Term, then the Market Base Rent shall not be determined by arbitration, but shall instead be set by taking the average of the determinations set forth in the Tenant’s Base Rent Notice and the Landlord’s Base Rent Notice. Only if the determinations set forth in the Tenant’s Base Rent Notice and the Landlord’s Base Rent Notice shall differ by more than 5% per rentable square foot per annum on average for the applicable Renewal Term shall the actual determination of Market Base Rent be made by an arbitrator as set forth in Section 4(a) above.
