ARTICLE II.

Premises

Section 2.1. Lease. Landlord, for and in consideration of the rents herein reserved and of the covenants and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, does by these presents, lease to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the real estate located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, and legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein (“Land”), together with all improvements now located or hereafter constructed thereon (“Improvements”), subject to covenants, conditions, agreements, easements, encumbrances and restrictions affecting the Land and the Improvements thereon.

Section 2.2. Premises. The Land and Improvements are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Premises”.

ARTICLE III.

Term

Section 3.1. Term. The Initial Term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date, effective as of the Effective Date, and shall end on the Termination Date,

unless sooner terminated as hereinafter set forth. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant upon the Commencement Date; otherwise, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease within thirty (30) days thereafter.

Section 3.2. Renewal Term. In addition to the Initial Term hereof, Landlord hereby grants Tenant three (3) successive options to renew or extend the term of this Lease from the date upon which it would otherwise expire for three (3) additional periods of five (5) years each (each such period shall be referred to herein as the “Renewal Period.”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.2.

(a) The term “Term” when used in this Lease shall include any and all Renewal Period(s). If Tenant elects to exercise any of such options, it shall do so by giving written notice of such election to Landlord (“Renewal Notice”), on or before the date which is six (6) months before the beginning of the Renewal Period or Renewal Periods for which the term hereof is to be renewed or extended. Each such Renewal Period shall be on the same terms and conditions as set forth herein except for the rent which shall be adjusted commencing on the first year of the Renewal Period, to an amount equal to the then prevailing Market Rental Rate (as hereinafter defined). The Base Rent shall be adjusted annually during each Renewal Period to equal 1.03 times the then applicable Base Rent. The “Market Rental Rate” shall, mean for the purposes of this Section 3.2, the fair market rental rate that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction on or about the date of the Renewal Notice between willing and informed landlords and willing and informed tenants for the Premises or for space of comparable size, age and construction in the regional area where the Premises are located, for a term of similar length to the Renewal Term , with adjustments that could be obtained taking into account items that professional real estate brokers customarily consider, including, but not limited to, rental rates (including any market increases over the applicable term of any such Renewal Period), space availability, tenant size, tenant improvement allowances, freeway visibility, free rent and any other lease concessions, if any, then being charged or granted by Landlord or the landlords of such similar buildings in the regional area where the Premises are located, all as determined in accordance with Section 3.2(b) below.

(b) Upon delivery to Landlord of the Renewal Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to agree upon the Market Rental Rate. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement on the Market Rental Rate within five (5) business days after the date of delivery of the Renewal Notice, then the Market Rental Rate shall be determined as follows:

(i) If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Market Rental Rate within said five (5) business day period, then within five (5) business days thereafter Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously submit to the other in a sealed envelope, its good faith estimate of the Market Rental Rate. If the higher of such estimates is not more than 105% of the lower of such estimates, then the Market Rental Rate shall be the average of the two estimates. If the higher of such estimates is more than 105% of the lower of such estimates, then the Market Rental Rate shall be resolved by arbitration as set forth in subsection (ii) below.

(ii) The parties shall, within ten (10) days after the date of exchange of estimates (provided the provisions of this subsection (ii) are triggered), select as an arbitrator a mutually acceptable commercial real estate leasing broker with at least ten (10) years experience in leasing similar space in the regional area in which the Premises are located. If the parties cannot agree on a broker, then within a second period of ten (10) days, each shall select an independent commercial real estate leasing broker meeting the aforementioned criteria and within a third period of ten (10) days, the two appointed brokers shall select a third broker meeting the aforementioned criteria and the third broker shall be the arbitrator. If one party shall fail to make such appointment within said ten (10) day period, then the commercial real estate leasing broker chosen by the other party shall be the arbitrator. As soon thereafter as practicable but in any case within ten (10) days of being chosen, the arbitrator (as chosen in accordance herewith) shall select one of the two estimates of the Market Rental Rate submitted by Landlord and Tenant, based on which of the two estimates is the closest to what the arbitrator believes is the Market Rental Rate, applying in a good faith exercise of the arbitrator’s best professional judgment applying the standards described in subsection (a), above. The selection of the arbitrator shall be rendered in writing to both Landlord and Tenant and shall be final and binding upon them. The party whose estimate is not chosen by the arbitrator shall pay the costs of the arbitrator. Any fees of counsel or experts engaged directly by Landlord or Tenant, however, shall be borne by the party retaining such counsel or expert.

Section 3.3. Option to Purchase. During the last year of the Initial Term only, Tenant shall have an option to purchase (“Option”) all of Landlord’s right, title and fee simple interest in and to the Premises (the “Property”). The Option is exclusive to Tenant and may not be assigned or conveyed by Tenant to any third party, including without limitation any assignee or subtenant permitted under the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall exercise the Option by (i) giving written notice (“Option Notice”) to the Landlord of its intent to purchase the Property and (ii) submitting to Landlord the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) as a non-refundable ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money deposit (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money”), both of which must be received by Landlord no earlier than the first day of the last year of the Initial Term and no later than that day which is six months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term.

Within sixty (60) days following the date of the Option Notice, the parties will enter into a purchase and sale contract for the Property on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to both parties and incorporating the terms and conditions set forth herein. If the parties are unable to enter into such a contract within such time period after good faith efforts to do so, the Option shall terminate and be considered null and void; provided, however, that if such negotiations extend beyond the date that is six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, the deadline for delivery of a Renewal Notice shall be automatically extended until the date that is fourteen (14) days after the termination of the Option. The purchase price for the Property (the “Option Purchase Price”) shall be paid in immediately available funds at the closing and shall be an amount equal to the greater of (i) fair market value of the Property, as determined herein below or (ii) the purchase price paid by the then existing Landlord to acquire the Property. The fair market value of the Property shall be determined as of the date of the Option Notice, as

determined by an independent appraisal. Such appraisal shall be by agreement of two appraisers, one of whom shall be selected by each party hereto. If said appraisers fail to agree, they shall mutually appoint a third appraiser, and the value as determined by two of said three appraisers shall constitute the fair market value for the purposes hereof. Each party shall bear the expense of its own appraiser and shall pay one-half of the expenses of any third appraiser. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall apply to the Option Purchase Price at closing.

In addition, the following terms shall apply: (i) Tenant, as purchaser, shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of closing, including but not limited to survey, title, closing escrows, appraisal, environmental due diligence, all other due diligence and Landlord’s attorneys fees and expenses; (ii) Tenant, as purchaser, shall be responsible for any and all prepayment penalties incurred by Landlord, as seller, to repay any financing on the Property; (iii) due to the existence of this Lease, there shall be no prorations and/or credits given at closing for taxes or insurance; (iv) as a part of the closing, the parties shall terminate this Lease in writing as of the closing date; and (v) except for a representation that Landlord has authority to sell the Property and is the fee simple owner of the Property, Landlord makes no representations or warranties regarding the Property which shall be purchased by Tenant in an as is, where is, condition and state, including without limitation any and all environmental conditions and matters. The closing on the purchase and sale of the Property shall occur within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the Option Notice. If the closing does not occur within such time period and such delay is not caused by the Landlord, Landlord shall have the option to terminate the purchase and sale contract, retain the non-refundable ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money and the Tenant’s Option shall thereafter terminate and be considered null and void; provided, however, that if the closing does not occur within such time period, the deadline for delivery of a Renewal Notice shall be automatically extended until the date that is fourteen (14) days after the termination of the Option. If the closing does not occur within such time period and such delay is caused by the Landlord, the one hundred twenty (120) day period will be extended by the number of days of delay attributable to Landlord.

ARTICLE IV.

Condition of Demised Premises

Section 4.1. Condition of Premises. Tenant agrees to accept the Premises in an absolutely “as-is” condition, and Tenant acknowledges that Landlord, its agents, attorneys, representatives and employees have not and do not make any representations or warranties, express or implied, to Tenant regarding the Premises, including, but not limited to: (i) the zoning of the Premises; (ii) the condition of any underground, above ground or surface improvements; (iii) the size, area, use or type of the Premises or the fitness of the Premises for any intended or particular use; or (iv) the nature of the soil on and underlying the Premises or its suitability for development or any other use thereof. Tenant waives any claim that may exist for patent and/or latent defects or for mutual or unilateral mistake of fact. No promise of Landlord to alter, remodel, decorate, clean or improve the Premises or any portion thereof and no representation respecting the condition of the Premises or any portion thereof have been made by Landlord to Tenant.

ARTICLE V.

Rent

Section 5.1. Base Rent. In consideration of the leasing aforesaid, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, without offset or deduction, base rent for the Initial Term (“Base Rent”), payable monthly in advance in the amount of the Monthly Base Rent set forth in the Base Rent Schedule commencing on the Effective Date and continuing on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter for the balance of the Term of this Lease, and in addition thereto, shall pay such charges as are herein described as “Additional Rent.” The term “Rent” when used in this Lease shall include all Base Rent payable under this Section 5.1, as well as the charges herein described as Additional Rent. All Rent payable hereunder shall be payable to Landlord at Landlord’s Mailing Address, or as Landlord may otherwise from time to time designate in writing.

Section 5.2. Interest and Late Charges on Late Payments. Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal from time to time, plus 300 basis points per annum, from the date when the same is payable under the terms of this Lease until the same shall be paid (the “Default Rate”). Tenant further acknowledges that its late payment of any Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult or impracticable to fix. Such costs and expenses will include, without limitation, loss of use of money, administrative and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses. Therefore, if any installment of Monthly Base Rent or any other sum due hereunder is not paid and received by Landlord within seven (7) days after being due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid amount. Such late charge is in addition to any interest due pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.2. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of costs and expenses incurred by Landlord from, and is fair compensation to Landlord for, its loss suffered, by such non-payment by Tenant. Acceptance of the late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such non-payment by Tenant or prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Failure to pay the late charge shall constitute a default under this Lease.

Section 5.3. Prior Occupancy. In the event the Premises are delivered to and are occupied by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date of the Term of this Lease, such occupancy shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease.

Section 5.4. Security Deposit. Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Tenant has deposited with Landlord one month’s Base Rent in the amount of Eighteen Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($18,500.00), which amount shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to separate such security from. Landlord’s general funds and no interest shall be payable thereon. In the event Tenant shall default in any of such terms, covenants, conditions, or agreements, including, but not limited to, the payment of any Rent hereunder, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the security required for the payment of any Rent or any other sum expended by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default. Tenant, within five (5) days after written demand by Landlord, shall replenish the

security or any portion thereof so used or applied by Landlord; Tenant’s failure to restore such security shall constitute a material breach of the Lease. The security deposit shall not be deemed an advance payment of Rent. If Lessee shall faithfully comply with all terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of this Lease, any balance of the security deposit then due shall be returned within fourteen (14) days after termination of this Lease, but only after delivery of entire possession of the Premises to Landlord and other performance by Tenant of all obligations required hereunder. In the event of sale of the Premises or of a sale of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the security deposit to its transferee, and upon such transfer, Landlord shall be released by Tenant form all liability with regard thereto, Tenant looking solely to the new landlord for the return of said security.

ARTICLE VI.

Taxes and Impositions; Utilities; Other Expenses

Section 6.1. Taxes. Tenant further agrees to pay before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto for the nonpayment thereof, as Additional Rent for the Premises, all Taxes (as hereinafter defined) levied, assessed or imposed upon the Premises or any part thereof accruing during the Term of this Lease, notwithstanding that such Taxes may not be due and payable until after the expiration of the Term of this Lease; provided, however, that the Taxes levied against the Premises shall be prorated between Landlord and Tenant for the first year of the Initial Term hereof as of the Effective Date, and as of the date of expiration of the Term of this Lease for the last year of said Term, all on the basis of the most recent ascertainable taxes as applied to the most recent assessed valuation of the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for all increases in Taxes based upon Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises. After the expiration of the Term hereof, Tenant hereby agrees to reprorate Taxes. In the event of any increase in Taxes from the Taxes reflected on the proration made upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease, Tenant agrees to immediately pay to Landlord such sums as reflected by such reproration. In the event of any decrease in Taxes from the Taxes reflected on the proration made upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease, Landlord agrees to immediately pay to Tenant such sums as reflected by such reproration. Benefit may be taken by Tenant of the provisions of any statute or ordinance permitting any special assessment to be paid over a period of years; provided, however, Tenant shall pay all installments of special assessments due during the Term hereof. Tenant shall, in addition to the foregoing, pay any new Tax of a nature not presently in effect but which may hereafter be levied, assessed or imposed upon Landlord or upon the Premises, if such tax shall be based upon or arise out of the ownership, use or operation of the Premises; provided, however, that for the purpose of computing Tenant’s liability for such new type of Tax, the Premises shall be deemed the only property of Landlord. As used herein, the term “Taxes” shall mean real estate taxes, assessments, sewer rents, rates and charges, permit and license fees, transit taxes, taxes based upon the receipt of rent, and any other federal, state or local governmental charge, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, which may now or hereafter be assessed against the Premises or any portion thereof in any year during the Term hereof, and shall also include any personal property taxes (attributable to the year in which paid) imposed upon the furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and appurtenances used in connection with the operation of the Premises.

Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require Tenant to pay any franchise, inheritance, estate, succession or transfer tax of Landlord or any income or excess profits tax assessed upon or in respect of all income of Landlord or chargeable to or required to be paid by Landlord unless such tax shall be specifically levied against the rental income of Landlord derived hereunder (as opposed to a general income tax), which tax shall be paid by Tenant as part of Taxes hereunder, provided said rental income shall be considered as the sole income of Landlord.

Section 6.2. Estimated Payments. Following a noncompliance by Tenant of its obligations to pay Taxes or Insurance Premiums as and when due, Landlord may request (which request shall be in writing) as security for the obligations contained in Section 6.1 above, that Tenant shall deposit monthly with Landlord, or such other entity as Landlord may designate, on the first day of each and every month of the Term, a sum equal to one-twelfth of the last ascertainable amount (or at Landlord’s election; if Landlord’s interest hereunder is at any time subject to the lien of a mortgage or trust deed, a sum equal to one-twelfth of the mortgagee’s estimate of the current amount) of general real estate taxes and annual installments of special assessments levied with respect to the Premises (and, also Insurance Premiums as required under the terms of Section 10.3 of this Lease), which monthly deposits shall be held by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee in such account or accounts as may be authorized by then current state or federal banking laws, rules or regulations and which monthly deposits, subject to any provisions to the contrary in documentation securing Landlord’s mortgage indebtedness, shall be used as a fund to be applied, to the extent thereof, to the payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums as the same become due and payable. The existence of said fund shall not limit or alter Tenant’s obligation to pay the Taxes and Insurance Premiums respecting which the fund was created; provided, however, that so long as Tenant shall not be in default hereunder, said fund shall be fully utilized for the payment of such Taxes and Insurance Premiums; provided, further that the disposition of any funds held by Landlord’s mortgagee shall be governed by the loan and mortgage documentation entered into by Landlord and said mortgagee. The amount of the fund shall be readjusted annually, on such date as Landlord shall determine, to reflect the actual amount of Taxes and Insurance Premiums. Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on said fund.

Section 6.3. Tax and Insurance Statement. If Landlord exercises its right to require monthly payments under Sections 6.2, then Landlord, as soon as reasonably feasible after the expiration of each calendar year contained within the Term (“Lease Year”), will furnish Tenant a statement (“Tax and Insurance Statement”) showing the following:

(i) Actual Taxes and Insurance Premiums for the Lease Year last ended and the amount of Taxes and Insurance Premiums payable by Tenant for such Lease Year; and

(ii) The amount of Additional Rent due Landlord for the Lease Year last ended, less credit for any items paid directly or deposited pursuant to Section 6.2 above.

Section 6.4. Adjustment Payments. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of any Tax and Insurance Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of Additional Rent shown on said Tax and Insurance Statement to be due Landlord for the Lease Year last ended. Tenant’s obligation to pay such Additional Rent shall survive the Term. If Tenant’s deposits

made pursuant to Section 6.2 above exceed Tenant’s obligation, the excess amount shall be credited against the next installment of Rent coming due, with any balance to be paid directly to Tenant.

Section 6.5. Right to Pay. Landlord shall, at its option, have the right, without notice to Tenant, at all times during the Term to pay any such Taxes not timely paid by Tenant, and the amounts so paid, including reasonable expenses, shall be so much Additional Rent due at the next rent day after any such payments with interest at the Default Rate from the date of payment thereof.

Section 6.6. Landlord’s Contest of Taxes. To the extent Landlord desires, in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, to contest the imposition of any Taxes against the Land and Improvements, Landlord shall proceed with such protest in accordance with applicable law. Tenant agrees Taxes shall include all of Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses, including legal fees and court costs, in pursuing any such contest to the extent that Landlord is successful in such contest. There shall be deducted from Taxes the amount of any Taxes refunded in any Lease Year, provided said refund relates to an assessment year included within the Term of this Lease. Tenant, at is sole cost and expense, may initiate a tax contest with Landlord’s prior written consent.

Section 6.7. Utilities. Tenant shall pay, directly to the appropriate supplier, all costs of natural gas, electricity, heat, light, power, sewer service, telephone, water, refuse disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises. Landlord shall not in any way be liable or responsible to Tenant for any cost or damage or expense which Tenant may sustain or incur if either the quality or character of such service is changed or is no longer available or suitable for Tenant’s requirements; provided that Landlord shall be liable for the gross negligence and willful misconduct of Landlord, its affiliates and their employees.

Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises or permit the Premises to be used or occupied contrary to any statue, rule, order, ordinance, requirement, regulation or restrictive covenant applicable thereto or in any manner which would violate any certificate of occupancy affecting the same or which would render the insurance thereon void or the insurance risk more hazardous than on the Effective Date, or which would cause structural injury to the Improvements or cause the value of the Premises or any part thereof to decrease, ordinary wear and tear excepted, or which would constitute a public or private nuisance or waste, and Tenant agrees that it will,

All such repairs and replacements shall be of first class quality and sufficient for the proper maintenance and operation of the Premises. Tenant shall keep and maintain the Premises, including the Improvements and all sidewalks, vault space, parking areas and areas adjacent thereto, safe, secure and clean, specifically including, but not by way of limitation, snow and ice clearance, landscaping and removal of waste and refuse matter.

Landlord shall not be responsible for any loss or damage to the person or property of Tenant, any guests or invitees, any persons using or working on the Premises, or any persons claiming by, through or under, or any agents, employees, heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns of, any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be responsible for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its affiliates and their employees.

Tenant’s Insurance

Section 9.1. Commercial General Liability and Workers Compensation Insurance. At all times during the Term of this Lease, Tenant, at its own expense, shall maintain, with insurance companies which are authorized to do business in the State of Texas and which are reasonably acceptable to Landlord, the following commercial general liability and workers compensation insurance (including employer’s liability insurance):

(a) Commercial General Liability Insurance. Written on an occurrence basis, insuring against claims for bodily and personal injury, death and property damage occurring in connection with the use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant and shall name by specific endorsement Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee, if any, as additional insureds. The coverage afforded the additional insureds under the Tenant’s policy shall be primary insurance. Commercial General Liability Insurance shall afford a limit of at least $2,000,000.00 for each occurrence and at least a $5,000,000.00 annual aggregate with respect to bodily injury or death to persons and at least $2,000,000.00 for each occurrence and at least a $2,000,000.00 annual aggregate with respect to property damage.

(b) Workers Compensation Insurance. Workers compensation insurance shall meet or exceed the statutory requirements set by the state where the Premises is located and shall include occupational disease insurance and employer’s liability insurance.

(c) Contents Insurance. Insurance in commercially reasonable amounts and on commercially reasonable terms, against fire, sprinkler leakage, vandalism, and the

extended coverage perils for the full insurable value of all contents of Tenant within the Premises, and of all office furniture, trade fixtures, office equipment, merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s property on the Premises and business interruption insurance in commercially reasonable amounts and on commercially reasonable terms.

Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the earlier of (i) the Commencement Date of this Lease or (ii) the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises, certificates of the insurance required by this Section 9.1 and evidence of payment of all premiums. Such policies of insurance shall be renewed and certificates of the new policies and evidence of payment of all premiums shall be deposited with Landlord at least forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration of the old policies.

Section 9.2. Policies. All insurance policies shall be written with insurance companies and shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. All insurance policies shall name Landlord as an additional insured and loss payee as its interest may appear and shall provide that they may not be terminated or modified in any way which would materially decrease the protection afforded Landlord under this Lease without thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Landlord. All policies shall also contain an endorsement that Landlord, although named as an additional insured, shall nevertheless be entitled to recover for damages caused by the negligence of Tenant. The minimum limits of insurance specified in this Article IX shall in no way limit or diminish Tenant’s liability under this Lease. Upon Tenant’s default in obtaining or delivering the certificates for any such insurance or Tenant’s failure to pay the charges therefor, Landlord may, at its option, on or after the tenth (10th) day after written notice thereof is given to Tenant, procure or pay the charges for any such policy or policies and the total cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) thereof shall be immediately paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent upon receipt of a ▇▇▇▇ therefor, and any amount not so paid shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate from the date advanced. Any minimum amount of coverage specified above shall be subject to increase at any time, and from time to time, if Landlord shall reasonably deem same to be necessary for adequate protection. Within thirty (30) days after demand by Landlord that the minimum amount of any coverage be so increased, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with evidence of Tenant’s compliance with such demand. Tenant may maintain the insurance required under this Section 9 as part of a blanket policy covering all of Tenant’s property and businesses, provided that the coverages required under Section 9.1 are maintained.

Section 9.3. Adjustment. So long as this Lease remains in effect, the proceeds of any such insurance which are received by Tenant shall be used by Tenant to repair or replace the property so insured.

ARTICLE X.

Hazard Insurance

Section 10.1. Kinds and Amounts. Tenant, at its sole cost, shall at all times during the Term of this Lease keep in full force and effect insurance on all Improvements against loss by fire and lightning, the risks covered by what is commonly known as extended coverage, malicious mischief and vandalism, and all other risks of direct physical loss in an amount equal to the full replacement value on the replacement form basis, of such Improvements. The policy

or policies evidencing such insurance shall be written by a company or companies reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and to Landlord’s mortgagee, if any, and authorized to do business in the state where the Premises is located, shall name Landlord as the insured thereunder, and shall provide that losses shall be paid to Landlord or its mortgagee, if applicable. At the request of Landlord, a mortgage clause shall be included in said policies covering Landlord’s mortgagee, if any. Tenant shall provide evidence of such policy or policies to Landlord at any time and in any event within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy or policies.

Section 10.2. Insurance Appraisals. From time to time during the Term hereof (but in no event more frequently than once every two (2) years) upon the request of Landlord, or Landlord’s mortgagee, if any, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, insurance appraisals, satisfactory to Landlord, as such are regularly and ordinarily made by or for the benefit of insurance companies, in order to determine the then replacement value of the Improvements.

Section 10.3. Waiver of Recovery. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive all claims for recovery from the other party for any loss or damage (whether or not such loss or damage is caused by negligence of the other party and, notwithstanding any provision or provisions contained in this Lease to the contrary) to any person or property insured under valid and collectible insurance policies to the extent of any recovery collectible under such insurance, subject to the limitation that this waiver shall apply only when it is permitted by the applicable policy of insurance. Each policy of insurance shall either (i) contain a waiver of subrogation by insurer against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, or (ii) include the name of the Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, as an additional insured, but not as a party to whom any loss shall be made payable.

ARTICLE XI.

Damage or Destruction

Section 11.1. Damage or Destruction by Fire or Casualty. In the event the Premises are damaged by fire, explosion or other casualty, Landlord shall diligently proceed with respect to the proposed restoration promptly after receipt of the insurance proceeds. Landlord shall commence the repair, restoration or rebuilding thereof and shall complete such restoration, repair or rebuilding within twelve (12) months after the receipt of such proceeds, subject to extension due to delay because of changes, deletions, or additions in construction requested by Tenant, acts of Tenant, strikes, lockouts, casualties, acts of God, war, fuel or energy shortages, material or labor shortages, governmental regulation or control, severe weather conditions or other causes beyond the control of Landlord (“Extension Events”). In the event of any such casualty all insurance proceeds shall be payable to Landlord. In no event shall Landlord be required to repair or replace any alterations or improvements made by Tenant which are not related to the Improvements, Tenant’s Equipment (as hereinafter defined) or any other fixtures, furnishing and personal property of Tenant. Tenant agrees that in the event the amount of the insurance proceeds received by Landlord are less than the amount required to be expended to restore the Premises, Landlord or Tenant, at its election made within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of written notice of the insufficiency of insurance proceeds, may terminate this Lease. Landlord’s obligation to repair, restore or rebuild the Premises shall be limited to

restoring the Premises to substantially the condition in which the same existed prior to the casualty. Rent and all other charges payable by Tenant hereunder shall ▇▇▇▇▇ on a prorata basis during the period of such repair, restoration or rebuilding such that Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent with respect to the portion of the Premises that are not useable by Tenant during such period. In the event the casualty causes fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises to be untenantable, as determined by an independent contractor, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty by providing notice to the other within thirty (30) days after such determination has been made by the independent contractor, in which event, all insurance proceeds shall be paid to Landlord.

ARTICLE XII.

Liens

Section 12.1. Lien Claims. Tenant shall not do any act which shall in any way encumber the title of Landlord in and to the Premises, nor shall any interest or estate of Landlord in the Premises be in any way subject to any claim by way of lien or encumbrance, whether by operation of law or by virtue of any express or implied contract by Tenant, and any claim to or lien upon the Premises arising from any act or omission of Tenant shall accrue only against the leasehold estate of Tenant and shall in all respects be subject and subordinate to the paramount title and rights of Landlord in and to the Premises, Tenant will not permit the Premises to become subject to any mechanics’, laborers’ or materialmen’s lien on account of labor or material furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to Tenant in connection with the work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed on the Premises by or at the direction or sufferance of Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to contest in good faith and with reasonable diligence, the validity of any such lien or claimed lien if Tenant shall first either (a) give to Landlord an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of the lien or claimed lien which, together with interest earned thereon, which amount shall be held by Landlord as security to insure payment thereof and to prevent any sale, foreclosure or forfeiture of the Premises by reason of non-payment thereof or (b) provide title insurance or bond over such lien in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The amount so deposited with Landlord shall be held by Landlord in an account established at a federally insured banking institution until satisfactory removal of said lien or claim of lien. On any final determination of the lien or claim for lien, Tenant will immediately pay any judgment rendered, with all proper costs and charges, and will, at its own expense, have the lien released and any judgment satisfied. Should Tenant fail to diligently contest and pursue such lien contest, Landlord may, at its option, use the sums so deposited to discharge any such lien and upon the satisfaction of such lien or encumbrance Landlord shall pay all such sums remaining on deposit to Tenant.

Section 12.2. Landlord’s Right to Cure. If Tenant shall fail to contest the validity of any lien or claimed lien or fail to give security to Landlord to insure payment thereof, or shall fail to prosecute such contest with diligence, or shall fail to have the same released and satisfy any judgment rendered thereon, then Landlord may, at its election (but shall not be so required), remove or discharge such lien or claim for lien (with the right, in its discretion, to settle or compromise the same), and any amounts advanced by Landlord, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, for such purposes shall be so much Additional Rent due from Tenant to Landlord at the next

rent date after any such payment, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date so advanced.

ARTICLE XIII.

Alterations and Improvements

Section 13.1. Alterations. Tenant shall not at any time during the Term of this Lease make any openings in the roof or exterior walls of the Building or make any alteration, addition or improvement to the Premises (collectively, “Alterations”) or any portion thereof without, in each instance, the prior written consent of Landlord which consent, as to non-structural or non-systems repairs, shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Tenant may make non-structural Alterations without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, provided the total cost of such non-structural Alteration is less than Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) per occurrence and less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) in the aggregate per calendar year. No Alteration to the Premises for which Landlord’s consent is required shall be commenced by Tenant until Tenant has furnished Landlord with a satisfactory certificate or certificates from an insurance company acceptable to Landlord, evidencing workmen’s compensation coverage, and insurance coverage in amounts satisfactory to Landlord and protecting Landlord against public liability and property damage to any person or property, on or off the Premises, arising out of and during the making of such Alterations. Any Alteration by Tenant hereunder shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner in compliance with any applicable governmental law, statute, ordinance or regulation. Upon completion of any Alteration by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a copy of the “as built” plans covering such construction. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will make all Alterations on the Premises which may be necessary by the act or neglect of any other person or corporation (public or private), except for Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors. Before commencing any Alterations (a) plans and specifications therefor, prepared by a licensed architect, shall be submitted to and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (b) Tenant shall furnish to Landlord an estimate of the cost of the proposed work, certified by the architect who prepared such plans and specifications; (c) all contracts for any proposed work shall be submitted to and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (d) Tenant shall either furnish to Landlord a bond in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, or such other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to insure payment for the completion of all work free and clear of liens. Tenant further agrees that all contractors engaging in any construction activity by and for the benefit of Tenant for which Landlord’s consent shall be required shall obtain commercial general liability, worker’s compensation and such other liability insurance in such amounts as may be reasonably required by Landlord naming Landlord as an additional insured and providing liability coverage during all phases of construction including, without limitation: (a) contractor’s and owners protection; (b) blanket contractual liability coverage; (c) broad form property damage insurance; and (d) statutory worker’s compensation coverage and employer’s liability coverage. Prior to the commencement of any construction activity, certificates of such insurance coverages shall be provided to Landlord. Before commencing any Alteration, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written certification that the Alteration does not have any adverse environmental impact on the Premises.

Section 13.2. Ownership of Alterations. All Alterations (except Tenant’s Equipment, as defined hereinafter), put in at the expense of Tenant shall become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the termination of this Lease, or at Landlord’s option shall be removed.

Section 13.3. Signs. Tenant shall not place any signs on any part of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 13.4. Environmental Impact. Notwithstanding any other term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease, in the event that any Alteration has any adverse environmental impact on the Premises, Landlord may deny Tenant the right to proceed in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.

ARTICLE XIV.

In the event the whole of the Premises shall be taken as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemned for a public or quasi-public use or purpose or by any competent authority or sold to the condemning authority under threat of condemnation, or in the event a portion of the Premises shall be taken or sold as a result of such event, and as a result thereof, the balance of the Premises cannot be used for the same purpose as before such taking, sale or condemnation, then, and in either of such events, the Term of this Lease shall terminate as of the date of vesting of title pursuant to such proceeding or sale. The total award, compensation or damages received from such proceeding or sale (collectively, the “Award”), shall be paid to and be the property of Landlord, whether the Award shall be made as compensation for diminution of the value of the leasehold or the fee of the Premises or otherwise, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord, all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to the Award. Tenant shall execute, immediately upon demand of Landlord, such documents as may be necessary to facilitate collection by Landlord of any such Award. Tenant may pursue a separate award for improvements made by Tenant and for its moving expenses, provided such award does not reduce Landlord’s Award.

Section 14.2. Taking: Lease to Continue. In the event only a part of the Premises shall be taken as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemned for a public or quasi-public use or purpose by any competent authority or sold to the condemning authority under threat of condemnation, and as a result thereof the balance of the Premises can be used for the same purpose as before such taking, sale or condemnation, this Lease shall not terminate and Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly repair and restore the Premises, subject to any Extension Events and the Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in utility of the Premises caused by such condemnation. Any Award paid as a consequence of such taking, sale, or condemnation, shall be paid to Landlord. Any sums not so disbursed shall be retained by Landlord.

No assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall continue to be liable as a principal and not as a guarantor or surety, to the same extent as though no assignment or sublease had been made, unless specifically provided to the contrary in Landlord’s consent. Consent by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall not be deemed, construed or held to be consent to any additional assignment or subletting, but each successive act shall require similar consent of Landlord. Landlord shall be reimbursed by Tenant for any costs or expenses reasonably incurred pursuant to any request by Tenant for consent to any such assignment or subletting. In consideration of the granting or denying of consent, Landlord may, at its option, take into consideration: (i) the business reputation and credit worthiness of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (ii) any required alteration of the Premises; (iii) the intended use of the Premises by the proposed subtenant or assignee; and (iv) any other factors which Landlord shall deem relevant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Building Fixtures shall not include Tenant’s Equipment, as defined below.

Section 20.2. Tenant’s Equipment. All of Tenant’s trade fixtures and all personal property, fixtures, apparatus, machinery and equipment now or hereafter located upon the

Premises, other than Building Fixtures, shall be and remain the personal property of Tenant, and the same are herein referred to as “Tenant’s Equipment.”

(f) Tenant shall vacate the Premises or abandon same during the Term hereof; or

(g) Tenant shall default in making any payment of Rent or other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder within five (5) days following the date when due as herein provided; or

(h) Tenant shall be in default in the performance of or compliance with any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions in this Lease other than those referred to

in the foregoing subparagraphs (a) through (g) of this Section for a period of thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the items in default.

Section 21.2. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord shall have the right at its election, to give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s intention to terminate the Term hereof on a date specified in such notice. Upon the giving of such notice, the Term of this Lease shall expire and terminate on such date as fully and completely and with the same effect as if such date were the date hereinbefore fixed for the expiration of the Term, and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord shall upon notice to Tenant have the immediate right, whether or not the Term shall have been terminated pursuant to the preceding paragraph, to re-enter, with due process of law, and repossess the Premises or any part thereof by force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise and the right to remove all persons and property therefrom. Landlord shall be under no liability for or by reason of any such entry, repossession or removal. No such re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate the Term unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant pursuant to the preceding paragraph, or unless the termination of this Lease be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

At any time or from time to time after the repossession of the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to the preceding paragraph, whether or not the Term shall have been terminated pursuant to this Section 21.2, Landlord may (but shall be under no obligation to) relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant, in the name of Tenant or Landlord or otherwise, without notice to Tenant, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) and for such uses as Landlord, in its absolute discretion, may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting.

No expiration or termination of the Term pursuant to this Section 21.2, by operation of law or otherwise, and no repossession of the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to this Section 21.2 or otherwise, and no reletting of the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to this Section 21.2, shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such expiration, termination, repossession or reletting.

In the event Landlord repossesses the Premises or any part thereof by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default but does not terminate the Term hereof, Tenant will pay to Landlord the Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums required to be paid by Tenant to and including the date of such repossession; and, thereafter, until the end of what would have been the Term in the absence of such repossession, and whether or not the Premises or any part thereof shall have been relet, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated and agreed current damages the Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant in the absence of such expiration, termination or repossession, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting effected for the account of Tenant

pursuant to this Section 21.2, after deducting from such proceeds all of Landlord’s reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting (including, without limitation, all repossession costs, customary brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, employees’ expenses, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting). Tenant will pay such current damages on the days on which the Base Rent and Additional Rent would have been payable under this Lease in the absence of such expiration, termination or repossession, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover the same from Tenant on each such day.

In the event that Landlord terminates the Term hereof, Tenant will pay to Landlord all Rent and other sums due and payable by Tenant through the date of termination, plus (1) an amount equal to the present value of the Rent and other sums, provided herein to be paid by Tenant for the remainder of the Term, (taking into account the time and expense necessary to obtain a replacement tenant or tenants, if any, including expenses relating to repossession of the Premises, preparation for reletting and for reletting itself), (2) the unamortized cost of leasehold improvements, additions and Alterations, if any, paid for by Landlord pursuant to this Lease, and (3) the cost of performing any other covenants to be performed by Tenant.

Nothing in this Section 21.2 is intended to, or shall, obviate any statutory or common law duty to mitigate damages incumbent on Landlord upon its exercise of its remedies hereunder.

ARTICLE XXIII.

Exercise of Remedies

Section 23.1. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy contained herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Landlord, shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy, but the same shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given herein, now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, and every power and remedy given by this Lease to Landlord may be exercised from time to time and as often as occasion may arise or as may be deemed expedient. No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or power arising from any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein.

Section 23.2. No Waiver. No waiver of any breach of any of the covenants of this Lease shall be construed, taken or held to be a waiver of any other breach, or a waiver, acquiescence in or consent to any further or succeeding breach of the same covenant. The acceptance by

Landlord of any payment of Rent or other sums payable hereunder after the termination by Landlord of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession hereunder shall not, in the absence of agreement in writing to the contrary by Landlord, be deemed to restore this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession hereunder, as the case may be, but shall be construed as a payment on account and not in satisfaction of damages due from Tenant to Landlord. Receipt of Rent by Landlord, with knowledge of any breach of this Lease by Tenant or of any default by Tenant in the observance or performance of any of the conditions or covenants of this Lease, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any provision of this Lease.

Section 23.3. Equitable Relief. In the event of any breach by Tenant of any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and shall have the right to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings, and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.

Subordination to Mortgages

Section 24.1. Subordination. Landlord may execute and deliver a mortgage or trust deed in the nature of a mortgage (both sometimes hereinafter referred to as a “Mortgage”) against the Premises or any portion thereof. This Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall automatically, and without the requirement of the execution of any further documents, be and are hereby made expressly subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any Mortgage now or hereafter encumbering any portion of the Improvements, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof provided such lender does not disturb Tenant’s possession hereunder as long as (i) Tenant is not in default hereunder, (ii) upon the written direction of mortgagee Tenant pay all rents arising under this Lease as directed by such mortgagee; (iii) in the event such mortgagee enforces its rights under the Mortgage or such lease is terminated due to a default by Landlord, Tenant will, upon request of any person succeeding to the interest of Landlord in the Premises (“successor in interest”) as the result of said enforcement, automatically attorn to such successor in interest, without any change in terms or other provisions of this Lease; provided, however, that said successor in interest shall not be: (a) liable for any previous act or omission of any prior landlord, including Landlord, under this Lease except for acts or omissions that arise and/or exist after such successor in interest takes title to the Premises; (b) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent for more than one month in advance, except payments in the nature of security, but only to the extent such payments have been delivered to such successor in interest; (c) bound by any modifications to the Lease (including any agreement providing for early termination or cancellation of the Lease) made without any requisite consent of the mortgagee or any such successor in interest; (d) bound by any covenant or obligation of Landlord to perform, undertake or complete any work in the Premises or to prepare it for occupancy; (e) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant or to grant any credits, except for service, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for under this Lease to be performed by Landlord after the date of Tenant’s attornment; (f) responsible for any funds, including security deposits, owing to Tenant unless delivered by Landlord to such successor in interest; or (g) subject to any demands, credits, claims, counterclaims, offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord, including Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver such instruments

(which instruments Tenant agrees will be in form and substance satisfactory to the mortgagee of such Mortgage, in its sole discretion) subordinating this Lease to the lien of any Mortgage entered into by Landlord after the execution of this Lease provided that any such instruments shall contain language that such mortgagee shall not disturb Tenant’s possession hereunder as long as Tenant is not in default hereunder and attorns to the record owner of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any mortgagee under a Mortgage may, by notice in writing to the Tenant, subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease.
