WITNESETH:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Unless otherwise clearly indicated by the context, the following terms shall have the meanings specified below when they are used in the Lease:

1.1 Leased Premises and Related Terms.

The term “Land” shall mean the real property described in Exhibit “A” which is attached to this Lease and incorporated by reference.

The term “Building” shall mean the Land and all improvements located on the Land, including the office and retail building and the parking Parking Areas now located on the Land.

The term “Leased Premises” shall mean the following described office space located within the Building:

Approximately 5,449 square feet of Net Rentable Area (defined below) being Suite 215, located on the 2^nd. floor of the Building, as reflected on the floor plan(s) attached to and made a part of this Lease as Exhibit “B”.

The term “Net Rentable Area,” as used herein, shall mean: (i) in the case of a floor leased to a single tenant, all floor area measured from the inside surface of the outer glass line of the Building to the inside surface of the opposite outer glass line, excluding only Service Areas and General Common Areas (defined below), plus an allocation of the square footage of the General Common Areas; and (ii) in the case of a floor leased to more than one tenant, all floor areas within the inside surface of the outer glass line of the Building enclosing the Leased Premises and measured to the midpoint of demising walls {i.e., walls separating the Leased Premises from areas leased to or held for lease to other tenants, from On-Floor Common Areas (defined below) and from General Common Areas}, excluding only Service Areas, plus an allocation of the square footage of the General Common Areas and an allocation of the square footage of the On-Floor Common Areas. No deductions from Net Rentable Area shall be made for columns or projections necessary to the Building. The Net Rentable Area has been calculated based on BOMA standards.

1

“Service Areas” shall mean the areas within (and measured from the midpoint of the walls enclosing) the Building’s stairs, fire towers, elevator shafts, flues, vents, stacks, pipe shafts and vertical ducts. Areas for the specific use of Tenant and installed at the request of Tenant, such as special stairs or elevators, are not included within the definition of Service Areas.

“General Common Areas” shall mean those areas within (and measured from the midpoint of the walls enclosing) the Building’s elevator machine rooms, main mechanical and electrical rooms, public lobbies, management office and other areas not leased or held for lease within the Building but which are necessary or desirable for the proper utilization of the Building or to provide customary services to the Building. The allocation of the square footage of the General Common Areas shall be equal to the total General Common Areas within the Building multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Net Rentable Area of the Leased Premises (excluding only the allocation of the General Common Areas) and the denominator of which is the Net Rentable Area (excluding only the General Common Areas) of all office space leased or held for lease in the Building.

“On-Floor Common Areas” shall mean all areas within (and measured from the midpoint of the walls enclosing) public corridors, elevator foyers, restrooms, mechanical rooms, janitor closets, telephone and equipment rooms, and other similar facilities for use of all tenants on the floor on which the Leased Premises are located. In the case of a floor leased to more than one tenant, the allocation of the square footage of the On-Floor Common Areas on said floor shall be equal to the total On-Floor Common Areas on said floor multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Net Rentable Area of the portion of the Leased Premises (excluding the allocation of the General Common Areas and excluding the allocation of the On-Floor Common Areas) and the denominator of which is the Net Rentable Area (excluding the allocation of the General Common Areas and excluding the allocation of the On-Floor Common Areas) of all office space leased or held for lease on said floor.

The Net Rentable Area of the Leased Premises has been calculated on the basis of the foregoing definition and a multi-tenant floor add-on factor of 15% and is stipulated to be 5,449 square feet.

1.2 Lease Year. The term “Lease Year” shall mean the twelve (12) month period beginning January 1 and ending December 31 of the applicable calendar year.

1.3 Base Operating Cost. The term “Base Operating Cost” shall mean the aggregate of all expenditures incurred by Landlord to maintain and operate the Building in a first class manner. All such expenses shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which shall be consistently applied. Base Operating Cost, as used in this Lease, shall mean all expenses, costs, and disbursements of every kind and nature which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay because of or in connection with the ownership and operation of the Building and the Parking Areas, including but not limited to, the following:

(a)Wages, salaries and any ancillary expenses of all employees actually engaged in operation and maintenance of the Building and the Parking Areas, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating thereto.

(b)All supplies and materials used in operation and maintenance of the Building and the Parking Areas.

2

(c)Cost of all utilities for the Building and Parking Areas, including, but not limited to, electric, gas, water, heating lighting, air conditioning and ventilating the Building as provided pursuant to Article 5.2, below.

(d)Cost of all maintenance, service, and operating agreements for the Building and Parking Areas and the equipment therein, including, but not limited to security service, window cleaning, elevator maintenance, landscaping, janitorial service and Parking Area operation.

(e)The gross cost of casualty and liability insurance applicable to the Building and Parking Areas and Landlord’s personal property used in connection therewith as provided in Article VI below.

(f)All taxes and assessments and governmental charges whether federal, state, county or municipal, and whether they be by taxing districts or authorities presently taxing the Leased Premises or by others, subsequently created or otherwise, and any other taxes and assessments attributable to the Building and Parking Areas or their operation, excluding, however, federal and state taxes on income.

(g)Cost of repairs and general maintenance undertaken by Landlord in its sole discretion on or of the Building and Parking Areas (excluding only: (i) repairs and general maintenance to the structure, foundation, and exterior walls of the Building and Parking Areas; (ii) repairs and general maintenance paid by proceeds of insurance or by Tenant or other third parties; and (iii) alterations attributable solely to tenants of the Building other than Tenant).

(h)Amortization of the cost of installation of capital investment items which are installed for the purpose of reducing operating expenses or which may be required by governmental authority. All such costs shall be amortized over the reasonable life of the capital investment item, together with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on the unamortized balance, with the reasonable life and amortization schedule being determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and in no event to extend beyond the reasonable life of the Building or Parking Areas. In the case of installations for the purpose of reducing operating expenses, Landlord at Tenant’s request shall provide cost justifications showing that the anticipated reduction in operating expenses is greater than the annual amortization amount related to the capital investment item.

(i)All commercially reasonable management fees incurred by Landlord for the management of the Building and Parking Areas.

(j)Landlord’s central accounting costs applicable to the Land, the Building and the Parking Areas, together with any costs incurred by Landlord to prepare any audit required pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

(k)Any costs incurred by Landlord to furnish any specific service or repair required by Section 5.2 of this Lease.

(l)Any and all other expenses paid in connection with the operation of the Building and the Parking Areas which are properly chargeable against the income therefrom.

3

Tenant, at Tenant’s option and expense, may audit Landlord’s accounts to substantiate any costs claimed.

If any of the factors included in “Base Operating Cost” are not payable, billed, or otherwise due so as to allow an accurate calculation of said factors annually (e.g., ad valorem taxes and long-term contracts), Landlord, in its sole discretion, may estimate and prorate said factors on an annual basis, and said factors shall be properly adjusted by Landlord when they actually become due and payable.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Lease to the contrary, it is agreed that in the event the Building is not fully occupied during any calendar year or in the event the entire Building is not provided with Building standard services during any calendar year, an adjustment shall be made in computing such component of the Base Operating Cost for such year so that the actual operating expenses shall be computed for such year as though the Building had been fully occupied during such year and as though the entire Building had been provided with Building standard services during such year.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.3, Base Operating Cost shall not include any costs incurred in the replacement of capital investment items except those made for the purposes of reducing operating expenses, nor Landlord’s home office expense nor specific costs specially billed to specific tenants nor commissions paid for the leasing or renting of space in the Building.

1.4 Proportionate Share. Tenant’s “Proportionate Share” of the Base Operating Cost or other charges to be borne by Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof shall be the amount obtained by multiplying the total sum of such Base Operating Cost or other charges by the percentage obtained by dividing the Net Rentable Area in the Leased Premises (5,449) by the total number of square feet of Net Rentable Area in all office space leased or held for lease in the Building (149,894) (such percentage being referred to as Tenant’s “Pro Rata Share”). Tenant’s Pro Rata Share is stipulated to be 3.6%.

1.5 Hazardous Materials. The term “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any substance, materials and wastes that are or become regulated, restricted or prohibited as hazardous, toxic or polluting substances under any applicable federal, state or local law, regulation, ordinance or order.

ARTICLE II

Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, or in any exhibit attached hereto, the primary term of this Lease shall commence on the “Commencement Date” as defined below, and shall terminate on the Last days of the 36 month of the Lease Term. The “Lease Term” of this Lease shall be the primary term specified in this Section 2.1, unless renewed or otherwise extended or earlier terminated pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Lease. The Commencement Date of this Lease shall be the date the Leased Premises are deemed to be ready for occupancy by Tenant upon the first to occur of (i) the date that there is delivered to Tenant a certificate of substantial completion of the improvements in and to the Leased Premises from Landlord’s architect, which certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon Tenant; or (ii) the date on which Tenant, or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, occupies any portion of the Leased Premises.

ARTICLE III

RENT

3.1 Rental Payments.

(a)Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing thereafter throughout the Lease Term, Tenant agrees to the Base Rental as described in Section 3.2, plus Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental and Tenant’s Additional Rental as described in Section 3.3. The Base Rental together with Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental shall be due and payable in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term. Tenant agrees to pay such rent to Landlord at Landlord’s address for notice as provided herein (or such other address as may be designated by Landlord from time to time). If the term of the Lease is deemed to have commenced on a date other than the first date of a calendar month, the expiration date of the primary term shall be extended so as to give effect to the full term specified in 2.1 above in addition to the remainder of the calendar month during which the Lease is deemed to have commenced.

(b)If the Lease Term as described above commences on other than the first day of a calendar month or terminates on other than the last day of a calendar month, then the installments of Base Rental and Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental for such month or months shall be prorated and the installment or installments so prorated shall be paid in advance. The payment for such prorated month shall be calculated by multiplying the monthly installment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days of the Lease Term occurring during said commencement or termination month, as the case may be, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days occurring in said commencement or termination month. Also, if the Lease Term commences or terminates on other than the first day of a calendar year, Tenant’s Additional Rental (defined below) shall be prorated for such commencement or termination year, as the case may be, by multiplying each by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days of the Lease Term during the commencement or termination year, as the case may be, and the denominator of which shall be 365, and the calculation described in Section 3.3(c) below shall be made as soon as possible after the termination of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions relating to said calculation shall survive the termination of this Lease.

(c)Tenant shall pay all rent and other sums of money as same shall become due from and payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease at the times and in the manner provided in this Lease, without demand, set-off or counterclaim.

(d)Tenant shall pay all applicable bank charges incurred by Landlord plus Twenty-five and No/100 Dollars ($25.00) for each returned check. Tenant’s right to possession and all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease are expressly contingent on the prompt payment of rent, and the use of the Leased Premises is obtained only on the condition that rent is paid on time. Payment of rent by Tenant shall be an independent covenant. In the event Tenant has not timely paid rent or other sums due on two or more occasions, or in the event a check is returned for insufficient funds or no account, Landlord may thereafter require that all rent and other sums due be paid by cashier’s check, certified check, or money order, without further notice.

(e)In the event that Tenant fails to pay any installment of Base Rental, or any Additional Rental or other sums of whatever nature owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease within ten (10) days of the date such amount is due, there shall be added to such unpaid amount a late charge of ten percent (10%) of the past due amount in order to compensate Landlord for the extra administrative expenses associated with the collection of such late payment. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord interest on any past due amount owed under this Lease at the maximum lawful rate allowed by applicable law from the date due until paid.

3.2 Base Rental. Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a base annual rental (“Base Rental”) in an amount of $9.10 Net Average per square foot of Net Rentable Area within the Leased Premises per year, or an amount as outlined below per calendar month commencing on the Commencement Date:

Months 1- 36 $9.10 per square foot

3.3 Additional Rental.

(a)Commencing with the Lease Year in which the Commencement Date occurs and continuing thereafter for each Lease Year during the Lease Term, Landlord shall present to Tenant prior to the beginning of said Lease Year (or for the first Lease Year, prior to the commencement of said term) a statement of Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental (defined below). In Landlord’s best estimate as of the date of this Lease, Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental for the first Lease Year is estimated to be $8.90 per square foot of Net Rentable Area in the Leased Premises per year , which shall not be increased during the calendar year of 2004. Tenant Agrees to pay Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental according to the terms of Section 3.1 (that is, in equal monthly installments in advance). “Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental” shall mean Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Additional Rental (defined below).

(b)“Tenant’s Additional Rental,” as used herein, shall mean for each Lease Year or partial Lease Years during the Lease Term, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Base Operating Cost.

(c)Within one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of the first Lease Year in which the Commencement Date occurs and of each Lease Year thereafter during the Lease Term, or as soon as possible thereafter, Landlord shall provide Tenant a statement showing the Base Operating Cost for said Lease Year and a statement prepared by Landlord comparing Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental with Tenant’s Additional Rental for said Lease Year. In the event that Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental exceeds Tenant’s Additional Rental for said Lease Year, Landlord shall pay Tenant (in the form of a credit against rentals next due) an amount equal to such excess. In the event that Tenant’s Additional Rental exceeds Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental for said Lease Year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within ten (30) days of receipt of the statement, an amount equal to such difference.

3.4First Month’s Rent and Security Deposit. At the time of execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay in advance the first monthly installment of Base Rental and Tenant’s Forecast Additional Rental. On the same date, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, an amount equal to $8,173.00 (the “Security Deposit”) as security for Tenant’s faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations herein contained. If Tenant defaults in any manner in the performance of Tenant’s obligations contained in this Lease, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent, or other sum in default or for the payment of any other sum or expense to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of such default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby. Landlord shall not be required to separately account for the Security Deposit nor to maintain an escrow or separate account therefor. If Tenant performs all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as has not been applied by Landlord, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Tenant (or, at Tenant’s option, the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest hereunder) within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Lease Term, and after Tenant has vacated the Leased Premises. Landlord’s right to so apply the Security Deposit shall in no manner limit, impair or otherwise affect any of Landlord’s remedies set forth in this Lease.

4.4 Assignment and Subletting.

(a)Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet these Leased Premises or any part thereof, or mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its leasehold interest without the prior express written permission of Landlord, which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and any attempt to do any of the foregoing without the prior express written permission of Landlord shall be void and of no effect. This Section 4.4 shall apply to the hypothecation of any of Tenant’s interest in the leasehold estate, including, but not limited to, sale of more than 50% of stock in a non-publicly traded corporate tenant and sale of more than 50% of a partnership interest in a partnership tenant. In the event Tenant should desire to assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice (which shall specify all of the terms of said proposed sublease or assignment as well as the name and address of each proposed assignee or subtenant, and current and complete financial statements [including a balance sheet, income statement and copies of Federal tax returns for the previous three (3) years] of each proposed assignee or subtenant) of such desire at least sixty (60) days in advance of the date on which Tenant desires to make such assignment or sublease. Landlord shall then have a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice within which to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects: (1) to terminate this Lease as to the space so affected as of the date so specified by Tenant in its notice, in which event Tenant will be relieved of all obligations hereunder as to such space; (2) to permit Tenant to assign this Lease or sublet such space for the duration specified by Tenant in its notice; or (3) to reject the proposed assignment or sublease, for reasonable cause, explained to Tenant. If Landlord should fail to notify Tenant in writing of such election within the thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected option (3) above. In addition, no space shall be listed or offered to any broker for listing or advertisement, nor shall Tenant advertise for subletting without prior written approval of Landlord.

(b)If Landlord exercises its right as of the requested effective date of such assignment, sublease or other transaction to cancel and terminate this Lease as set forth in subparagraph (a) above, Landlord shall not be obligated to pay any consideration to effect such cancellation as to the portion of the Leased Premises and the term of Lease with respect to which Landlord has been requested to permit such assignment, sublease, or other transaction; and if Landlord elects to cancel and terminate this Lease as to the aforesaid portion of the Leased Premises and for the term proposed to be assigned or subleased, then the rent and other charges payable hereunder shall thereafter be proportionately reduced. In addition to the right of Landlord to withhold its consent to the assignment or subletting of the Leased Premises by Tenant as described in Section 4.4, Landlord shall be deemed to have reasonably withheld its consent to any assignment or subletting which would involve a different use of the Leased Premises, any material alteration of the Leased Premises or any impairment of Landlord’s security interest.

(c)In any case where Landlord consents to an assignment or sublease of the leasehold, the undersigned Tenant will remain liable for the performance of all of the covenants, duties, and obligations in this Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay all rent and other sums to be paid, and Landlord shall be permitted to enforce the provisions of this instrument against the undersigned Tenant and/or any assignee or sublessee without demand upon or proceeding in any way against any other person. In addition, if Landlord consents to such an assignment or sublease, Tenant shall enter into a written agreement with Landlord where it is agreed that any profit realized by Tenant as a result of said assignment or sublease (that is, after deducting all of Tenant’s costs associated therewith, including reasonable brokerage fees and the reasonable cost of remodeling or otherwise improving the Leased Premises for said assignee or sublessee) shall be payable to Landlord as it accrues as additional rent hereunder. If Tenant refuses to execute such written agreement, Landlord shall be deemed to have reasonably withheld its consent to the proposed assignment or sublease.

9

(d)In any case where Landlord consents to any such assignment, sublease, or other transaction, Landlord requires consent to sublease executed by Landlord, Tenant and Sublessee and may require that Tenant pay to Landlord a reasonable sum as attorney’s fees (attorney fees shall not exceed $750.00) or other fees and costs to change the lobby directory and tenant signage arising incident to such transaction, and that the assignee or subtenant pay Landlord a reasonable sum incurred by Landlord in moving the assignee or subtenant in and out of the Leased Premises should Landlord provide such assistance; however, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide such service.

(e)Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the consummation of any assignment or sublease consented to by Landlord; furnish to Landlord copies of all assignments, transfers, subleases and other documents executed in connection with such assignment or sublease; and notify Landlord in writing of the date the assignee or subtenant takes possession of the Leased Premises or a portion thereof.

(f)Each sublessee or assignee shall fully observe all covenants of this Lease, including, without limitation, the use restrictions of this Lease and provisions of this Lease pertaining to Tenant signage and alteration of the Leased Premises, and no consent by Landlord to an assignment or sublease shall be deemed in any manner to be consent to a use not permitted under this Lease. Any consent by Landlord to a particular assignment or sublease shall not constitute Landlord’s consent to any other or subsequent assignment or sublease, and any proposed assignment or sublease by an assignee or sublessee of Tenant shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 4.4 as if it were a proposed assignment or sublease by Tenant.

(g)As a condition precedent to any actual or deemed consent of Landlord to any assignment or subletting, Tenant shall cause the assignee or subtenant to take all action necessary to assure that the statutory and contractual Landlord’s liens apply to property of the subtenant or assignee to the same or greater extent, for the same or greater value of property, and with the same or better priority than Tenant’s property which is subject to such landlord’s liens. Tenant shall furnish a current UCC Search of the proposed subtenant or assignee and shall cause the assignee or subtenant to execute financing statements pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

Landlord shall retain the right to monitor the performance of any alterations or additions to the Leased Premises after the plans and specifications for same have been approved by Landlord.

10

(b)All alterations, physical additions or improvements in or to the Leased Premises (including fixtures) shall, when made, become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon termination of this Lease; provided, however, this clause shall not apply to movable trade fixtures, equipment or furniture owned by Tenant as long as Tenant restores the Leased Premises to its initial improved condition after the removal of any such property by Tenant.

(c)Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against all costs (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit), losses, liabilities or causes of action arising out of or relating to any alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, any mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens asserted in connection therewith.

(d)Should any mechanic’s or other lien or liens be filed against any portion of the Building by reason of Tenant’s acts or omissions or because of a claim against Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be canceled or discharged of record by bond or otherwise within ten (10) days after notice by Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to cancel or discharge said lien or liens within said ten-day period, Landlord may, at its sole option, cancel or discharge the same and, upon Landlord’s demand, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred in canceling or discharging such liens.

4.7 Taxes Payable By Tenant. In addition to all other sums to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or assessed during the Lease Term on inventory, equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Leased Premises, and shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes paid or payable by Landlord (other than state and federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources) whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties to this Lease:

(a)upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof;

(b)upon, measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures, inventory and other personal property located in the Leased Premises or the cost or value of any leasehold improvements within the Leased Premises; and

(c)upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Leased Premises.

If it is not lawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for any of the foregoing taxes, the rental payable to Landlord under this Lease shall be revised to net to Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord before the imposition of any such tax.

4.8Condition of Leased Premises. Tenant has full knowledge of all matters pertaining to the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, the condition of the tenant improvements therein. Accordingly, Tenant hereby acknowledges that it is leasing the Leased Premises on an “AS IS” basis in whatever physical condition the same may be, and Landlord makes no warranties of any kind or nature, express, implied, or otherwise, or any covenants of any kind or nature, in connection therewith. Tenant expressly waives and disclaims all representations, warranties (express or implied) and agreements not expressly set forth in this Lease, including but not limited to any implied warranty of suitability of the Leased Premises for the intended commercial use of Tenant.

(a)No activity will be conducted on the Leased Premises that will produce any Hazardous Materials;

(b)The Leased Premises will not be used for the storage of any Hazardous Materials except for the temporary storage of minimal amounts of such materials that are used in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business, provided that such Hazardous Materials are properly stored in a manner and location meeting all applicable laws concerning Hazardous Materials and approved in advance and in writing by Landlord;

(c)Tenant will not permit any Hazardous Materials to be brought on to the Leased Premises, except to the extent authorized in item (b) described above.

If at any time during or after the Lease Term the Leased Premises is found to be contaminated by Hazardous Materials, Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and obligations of any nature arising from or as a result of the breach of the provisions of this paragraph by Tenant. The foregoing indemnification shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

Landlord shall also have, at all times, the keys and/or combination necessary to deactivate any on-Premises audible fire or burglary alarm system and Landlord shall have the right to turn off the audible alarm once it has sounded.

In the event of any such interruption, malfunction, diminution or termination, however, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to restore such service. In addition to the foregoing, should any of the equipment or machinery break down or for any cause cease to function properly, Tenant shall have no claim for rebate of rent or damages on account of an interruption in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom.

ARTICLE VI

INSURANCE, DAMAGE, AND CONDEMNATION

6.1 Indemnity and Hold Harmless. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, contractors, customers, or invitees, for any damage to persons or property caused by any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, contractors, customers, or invitees, and Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all liability and claims for any such damage. Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord, or to Landlord’s agents, servants, employees, contractors, customers or invitees for any damage to person or property caused by any negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants, employees, contractors, customers, or invitees, and Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from all claims for such damage. The preceding sentences shall apply only when the injury, death or damage is caused only by the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnitor or when the cause is the concurrent result of the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnitor, its agents, servants, employees, contractors, customers, or invitees or other third party and not of any negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnitee or its agents, servants, employees, contractors, customers or invitees. In any situation involving injury, death or damage resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnitor and the indemnitee, or any of their agents, servants, employees, contractor, customers or invitees, each party as indemnitor shall indemnify the other party as the indemnitee to the extent, but only to the extent, of the liability attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct or the negligence or willful misconduct of its agents, servants, employees, contractors, customers or invitees. The foregoing indemnity obligations shall include reasonable attorney’s fees, investigation costs, court costs and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any claim or demand which is covered by the indemnities hereunder. Tenant agrees that all personal property upon the Leased Premises shall be at the risk of Tenant only, and that Landlord shall not be liable for any damage thereto or loss, theft or disappearance thereof. The provisions under this Lease shall survive the termination of this Lease with respect to any damage, injury or death occurring prior to such termination, or after such termination during any period during which Tenant is in possession of the Leased Premises or engaged in removing any property it is permitted to remove under this Lease.

14

6.2 Property Insurance by Landlord. Landlord shall maintain fire and extended coverage insurance on: (i) the structural components and common areas of the Building; and (ii) tenant finish improvements within the Leased Premises with a value of fifteen dollars ($15.00) per square foot of usable area within the Leased Premises (the “Covered Tenant Improvements”). Said insurance shall be maintained with any insurance company authorized to do business in the State of Texas, in amounts desired by Landlord and at the expense of Landlord and payment for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord; subject, however, to the rights of the Mortgagees (defined below). If the annual premiums to be paid by Landlord shall exceed the standard rates because Tenant’s operations result in extra hazardous exposure, Tenant shall promptly pay the excess amount of the premium upon the request of Landlord.

6.3 Property Insurance by Tenant. Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease Term, at its own expense, maintain a policy or policies of insurance with premiums fully paid in advance, insuring the following against loss or damage by fire, explosion, or other hazards and contingencies for the full insurable value thereof: (i) all of Tenant’s contents located in the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and other items of personal property; and (ii) all tenant improvements within the Leased Premises with a total value in excess of the stated value for the Covered Tenant Improvements.

6.4 Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, obtain, maintain, and keep in full force and effect during the Lease Term, commercial general liability insurance (including premises operation, bodily injury, personal injury, death, independent contractors, products, and completed operations, broad form contractual liability and broad form property damage coverages) in a combined single limit amount of not less than $3,000,000, against all claims, demands or actions with respect to damage, injury or death made by or on behalf of any person or entity, arising from or relating to the conduct and operation of Tenant’s business in, on or about the Leased Premises, or arising from or related to any act or omission of Tenant or any person within Tenant’s control. Whenever, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, good business practice and changing conditions indicate a need for additional amounts or different types of insurance coverage, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s request, obtain such insurance coverage, at Tenant’s expense.

6.5 General Insurance Requirements. The policy or policies of insurance to be maintained by Tenant shall name Landlord, the Managing Agent, and the Mortgagees as co-insured and shall contain an endorsement that such policies cannot be canceled, amended or modified as to Landlord or the Mortgagees, if any, without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and the Mortgagees. Tenant shall deliver certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the old policies. The insurance required under this Lease, shall be insured by such good and responsible companies qualified to do and doing business in the State of Texas as may be approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each policy of insurance required to be carried under this Lease or a duplicate or certificate thereof, shall be delivered to Landlord for retention by it. If Tenant shall fail to insure or shall fail to furnish to Landlord any such policy, duplicate policy or certificate as required, Landlord may, from time to time, effect such insurance for the benefit of Tenant or Landlord, or both of them, for a period not exceeding one (1) year, and any premium paid by Landlord shall be recoverable from Tenant as additional rent on demand.

15

6.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant each waives any and all rights of recovery, claim, action, or cause of action, against the other, its agents, officers, or employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Leased Premises, or any improvements thereto, or said Building of which the Leased Premises are a part, or any improvements thereto, or any personal property of such party therein, by reason of fire, the elements, or any other cause which are insured against under the terms of standard fire and extended coverage insurance policies, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of the other party to this Lease, its agents, officers, or employees, and covenants that no insurer shall hold any right of subrogation against such other party.

6.7 Fire or Other Casualty. In the event of a fire or other casualty in the Leased Premises, Tenant shall immediately give notice thereof to Landlord. If the Leased Premises is partially damaged by fire or other casualty, whether or not such casualty is an insured or insurable risk, so as to render the Leased Premises untenantable in whole or in part, the rental provided for shall abate thereafter as to the portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable until such time as the Leased Premises are made tenantable as determined by Landlord, and Landlord agrees to commence and prosecute such repair work promptly and with all due diligence; provided, however, in the event such destruction results in the Leased Premises being untenantable in whole or in substantial part for a period reasonably estimated by a responsible contractor selected by Landlord to be one hundred twenty (120) days or longer after Landlord’s insurance settlement, or in the event of total or substantial damage or destruction of the Leased Premises or the remainder of the Building from any cause and if Landlord shall decide not to rebuild, then in either event all rent owed up to the time of such destruction or termination shall be paid by Tenant and thenceforth this Lease shall cease and come to an end. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its decisions, estimates or elections hereunder within sixty (60) days after receipt by Landlord of notice of settlement from Landlord’s insurance carrier. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease, Landlord shall only be obligated to restore or rebuild: (i) the structural components and common areas of the Building; and (ii) the Covered Tenant Improvements.

6.8 Condemnation and Loss or Damage. If the Leased Premises or any part hereof shall be taken or condemned for any public purpose to such an extent as to render the remainder of the Leased Premises, in the opinion of Landlord, not reasonably suitable for Tenant’s occupancy, this Lease shall, at the option of either party, forthwith cease and terminate. All proceeds from any taking or condemnation of the Leased Premises shall belong to and be paid to Landlord, including any and all compensation, damages, income, rent, awards or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection therewith, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired portion of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prevent Tenant from seeking a separate award from the condemning authority for any matters which will not interfere with or reduce any award to Landlord. In the event of a partial taking of the Leased Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, the Base Rental shall be reduced in the proportion that the area of the portion of the Leased Premises so taken bears to the total area of the Leased Premises before such taking. Landlord shall not be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage to any property or persons occasioned by theft, fire, act of God, public enemy, injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order, requisition or order of governmental body or authority, force majeure or any other cause beyond the control of Landlord, or for any damage or inconvenience which may arise through repair, alteration, or improvements of all or any part of the Building, or failure to make such repairs.

ARTICLE VII

DEFAULT

7.1 Default by Tenant. If (1) default is made in the payment of any sum to be paid by Tenant under this Lease (no notice being required for default in payment), (2) default is made in the performance of any of the other covenants or conditions which Tenant is required to observe and to perform under this Lease, and such non-monetary default shall continue for twenty (20) days after written notice to Tenant, (3) the interest of Tenant under this Lease is levied on under execution or other legal process, (4) any petition is filed by or against Tenant to declare Tenant bankrupt or to delay, reduce, or modify Tenant’s debts or obligations, (5) any petition is filed or other action taken to reorganize or modify Tenant’s capital structure, (6) Tenant is declared insolvent according to law, (7) any assignment of Tenant’s property is made for the benefit of creditors, (8) a receiver or trustee is appointed for Tenant or its property, (9) Tenant abandons the Leased Premises (which shall mean that Tenant is absent from the Leased Premises for ten (10) consecutive days), , then Landlord may treat the occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing events as a breach of this Lease (provided that no such levy, execution, legal process, or petition filed against Tenant shall constitute a breach of this Lease if Tenant shall vigorously contest the same by appropriate proceedings and shall remove or vacate the same within thirty (30) days from the date of its creation, service, or filing) and thereupon, at its option Landlord may have any one or more of the following described remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law or in equity:

(a)Landlord may terminate this Lease and repossess the Leased Premises and be entitled to recover as damages a sum of money equal to the total of: (i) the cost of recovering the Leased Premises (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit); (ii) the unpaid rent earned at the time of termination, plus interest thereon at the rate provided herein; (iii) the present value of the balance of the rent for the remainder of the term less the present value of the fair market rental value of the Leased Premises for said period; and (iv) any other sum of money and damages owed by Tenant to Landlord.

(b)Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right of possession (but not the Lease) and may repossess the Leased Premises by forcible entry or detainer suit or otherwise, without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant and without terminating this Lease, in which event Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the same for the account of Tenant for such rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord. For the purpose of such reletting Landlord is authorized to decorate or to make any repairs, changes, alterations, or additions in or to the Leased Premises that may be necessary or convenient, and, if Landlord shall fail or refuse to relet the Leased Premises, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the amount of the rental reserved in this Lease for such period or periods, or, if the Leased Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from such reletting after paying the unpaid Base and Additional Rent due hereunder plus interest thereon at a maximum lawful rate, plus the cost of recovering possession, and all of the costs and expenses of such decorations, repairs, changes, alterations, and additions and the expenses of such reletting and of the collection of the rent accruing therefrom to satisfy the rent provided for in this Lease to be paid, then Tenant shall satisfy and pay any such deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time, and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due under the terms of this paragraph from time to time, and that no delivery or recovery of any portion due Landlord hereunder shall be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord, nor shall such reletting be construed as an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant by Landlord. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.

17

(c)At any time after an event of breach or default by Tenant has occurred, Landlord shall have the right to change or modify door locks on entry doors to the Leased Premises, and/or terminate all utility services to the Leased Premises, and such right to modify or change locks and/or terminate utility services shall continue so long as Tenant is in default hereunder. Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish Tenant with a new key or to allow Tenant to enter the Leased Premises, or to reinstate any terminated utility services until and unless Tenant has cured such default. Landlord may take such action as is required to cure any breach or default by Tenant hereunder and bill Tenant for any expenses incurred by Landlord in curing such breach, and Tenant shall be obligated to pay such bill immediately upon its receipt by Tenant.

(d)Landlord shall have the right to cause a receiver to be appointed in any action against Tenant to take possession of the Leased Premises and/or to collect the rents or profits derived therefrom. The appointment of such receiver shall not constitute an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless notice of such intention is given to Tenant.

(e)After terminating this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may remove any and all personal property located in the Leased Premises and place such property in a public or private warehouse or elsewhere. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs of such removal and storage upon demand. Tenant waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Landlord’s removing or storing the property as herein provided, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord free and harmless from and against any and all damages, including without limitation all costs of court and attorney’s fees of Landlord occasioned thereby.

(f)In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to injunctive relief in case of the violation or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the provisions of this Lease, or to a decree compelling performance of any other provisions of this Lease, or to any other remedy allowed at law or in equity.

7.2 Holding Over. In the event of holding over by Tenant after expiration or termination of this Lease without the written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall pay 150% of the rent (including all Base Rental and Additional Rental then payable) for the entire holdover period. No holding over by Tenant after the Lease Term shall operate to extend the Lease.

7.3 Non-Waiver. Failure of Landlord to declare any default immediately upon occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall not waive such default, but Landlord shall have the right to declare any such default at any time and take such action as might be lawful or authorized hereunder, either in law or in equity.

7.4 Attorney’s Fees. In the event either party defaults in the performance of any of the terms, agreements or conditions contained in this Lease and the other party places the enforcement of this Lease, or any part thereof, or the collection of any rent due or to become due hereunder, or recovery of the possession of the Leased Premises, in the hands of an attorney who files suit upon the same, and should such non-defaulting party prevail in such suit, the defaulting party agrees to pay the other party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

18

7.5 Landlord’s Lien. IN ADDITION TO THE STATUTORY LIEN, LANDLORD IS HEREBY GRANTED AND SHALL HAVE, AT ALL TIMES, A VALID SECURITY INTEREST UNDER THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OF TEXAS (ARTICLE 9 OF THE BUSINESS AND COMMERCE CODE V.A.T.S.) TO SECURE PAYMENT OF ALL RENTALS AND OTHER SUMS OF MONEY BECOMING DUE UNDER THIS LEASE FROM TENANT, AND TO SECURE PAYMENT OF ANY DAMAGES OR LOSS WHICH LANDLORD MAY SUFFER BY REASON OF THE BREACH BY TENANT OF ANY COVENANT, AGREEMENT OR CONDITION CONTAINED HEREIN, UPON ALL GOODS, WARES, EQUIPMENT, FIXTURES, FURNITURE, IMPROVEMENTS AND OTHER PERSONAL PROPERTY OF TENANT PRESENTLY OR WHICH MAY HEREAFTER BE SITUATED ON THE LEASED PREMISES, AND ALL PROCEEDS THEREOF. TENANT SHALL NOT ALLOW SUCH PROPERTY TO BE REMOVED THEREFROM WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LANDLORD UNTIL ALL ARREARAGES IN RENT AS WELL AS ANY AND ALL OTHER SUMS OF MONEY THEN DUE OR TO ACCRUE AND BECOME DUE UNDER THIS LEASE TO LANDLORD SHALL FIRST HAVE BEEN PAID AND DISCHARGED AND ALL THE COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS AND CONDITIONS HEREOF HAVE BEEN FULLY COMPLIED WITH AND PERFORMED BY TENANT. Upon the occurrence of an event of default by Tenant, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies provided herein, enter upon the Leased Premises and take possession of any and all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture, improvements and other personal property of Tenant situated on the Leased Premises, without liability for trespass or conversion, and sell the same at public or private sale, with or without having such property at the sale, after giving Tenant reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale is to be made, at which sale Landlord or its assigns may purchase unless otherwise prohibited by law. Unless otherwise provided by law, and without intending to exclude any other manner of giving Tenant reasonable notice, the requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given at least five (5) days before the time of any sale. The proceeds from any such disposition, less any and all expenses connected with the taking of possession, holding and selling of the property (including reasonable attorney’s fees and other expenses), shall be applied as a credit against the indebtedness secured by the security interest granted in this section. Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by law; and Tenant shall pay any deficiencies forthwith. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord a financing statement in form sufficient to perfect the security interest created herein under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code in force in the State of Texas, or Landlord may file this Lease or a copy hereof as a financing statement. The statutory lien for rent is not hereby waived; on the contrary, the security interest herein granted shall be in addition to and supplementary of said statutory lien. Notwithstanding anything containing in this Section 7.5 to the contrary, Landlord agrees to subordinate its liens and security interest to any lender of Tenant which has a lien or shall be given a lien by Tenant on Tenant’s personal property.

7.6 Default by Landlord. Tenant shall provide to Landlord written notice of any alleged breach or default by Landlord under this Lease, stating with specificity the nature of such alleged breach or default. Landlord shall not be considered to be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to commence the cure of any such default within thirty (30) days after such written notice has been delivered to Landlord by Tenant or unless Landlord fails to pursue such cure to completion. In the event of any default by Landlord hereunder, Tenant’s exclusive remedy shall be an action for damages, and in consideration of the execution of the Lease by Landlord, Tenant waives any right to injunctive or other equitable relief.

19

7.7 Limitation on Liability of Landlord. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord in and to the Building in the event of breach or default by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or any agreement or instrument executed in connection herewith, and Tenant agrees that the liability of Landlord under this Lease or any such agreement or instrument shall not exceed the value of such equity of Landlord in and to the Building. Without limitation to the foregoing, no properties or assets of Landlord other than the Building shall be subject to levy, execution, or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) arising out of or in connection with this Lease.

This Lease is executed by a representative of Landlord solely in the representative capacity of such party, and not in such party’s own individual capacity. No owner, partner, joint venturer, shareholder, representative, advisor, trustee, director, officer, beneficiary, participant, or agent of Landlord shall be personally liable in any manner or to any extent under or in connection with this Lease.

8.1 The Landlord’s Mortgagee.

This provision shall be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to effect such subordination of this Lease. Tenant shall, however, upon demand at any time or times, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any and all instruments and certificates that may be necessary or proper to more effectively document the subordination of this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder to any Mortgage or to confirm or evidence such subordination. If Tenant fails or neglects to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any such subordination instrument or certificate, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies it may have, may, as the agent and attorney-in-fact of Tenant, execute, acknowledge and deliver the same, and Tenant hereby irrevocably nominates, constitutes, and appoints Landlord as Tenant’s proper and legal agent and attorney-in-fact for such purpose. Tenant covenants and agrees, in the event of the foreclosure of or trustee’s sale under any Mortgage (“Foreclosure Sale”), to attorn to the purchaser upon any Foreclosure Sale, if so requested by such purchaser, and to recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of Landlord or of any holder or holders of any Mortgage, any instrument or certificate which, in the sole judgment of Landlord or of such holder or holders, may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment.

(b)This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are further subject and subordinate, to the extent that the same relate to the Premises, to all applicable ordinances of the City of Austin, Texas, relating to easements, franchises, and other interests or rights upon, across, or appurtenant to the Building or the Land.

8.2 Estoppel.

8.5 Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a)ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Lease, together with the Exhibits and Riders attached hereto, embody the entire contract between the parties of this Lease relative to the subject matter hereof, and this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings if any between Landlord and Tenant, or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter of this Lease or the Building. There are no representations or warranties between Landlord and Tenant other than those contained in this Lease and all reliance with respect to any representations or warranties is solely upon the representations and warranties contained herein. This Lease may not be altered, changed, or amended, except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties to the Lease.

(b)SEVERABILITY CLAUSE. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, under present or future laws effective during the term of this Lease, then it is the intention of the parties to this Lease that the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and it is also the intention of both parties that, in lieu of each clause or provision that is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, there be added as a part of this Lease a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable clause or provision as possible but enforceable.

(c)BINDING EFFECT. The provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of the parties, but this provision shall in no way alter the restrictions in the Lease in connection with assignment and subletting by Tenant.

(d)GOVERNING LAW. All rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other rights or remedies allowed by law. This Lease is construed according to the laws of the State of Texas and is performable in Travis County, Texas. Further, the terms and provisions of this Lease shall not be construed against or in favor of a party hereto merely because such party is the “Landlord” or the “Tenant” hereunder or such party or its counsel is or was the draftsman of this Lease.

(e)CAPTIONS. All paragraph captions in this Lease are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Lease.

(f)NUMBER AND GENDER. The words “Landlord” and “Tenant” as used herein shall include the plural as well as the singular. If there be more than one Tenant, the obligations under this Lease imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and several.

(g)TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its provisions. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for lease, and it is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.

(h)FORCE MAJEURE. Whenever a period of time is prescribed for the taking of any action by Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation of such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental laws, regulations or restrictions, or any other cause whatsoever beyond the control of Landlord.

22

(i)SUBSTITUTION OF LEASED PREMISES. In the event Landlord determines to utilize all of the Leased Premises for another single tenant during the Lease Term, Tenant agrees to relocate to other space in the Building designated by Landlord, provided such other space is of equal or larger size than the Leased Premises, unless Tenant agrees to relocate to smaller space. If the relocation space is larger than Tenant’s Premises Tenant’s rental obligation shall not be increased over the amount Tenant would normally be obligated to pay under this lease for the Premises. The relocation space shall be, or made to be substantially the same configuration and finishes as the Premises. Landlord shall pay all reasonable out of pocket expenses of any such relocation, including but not limited to the expenses of moving and reconstruction of all Tenant finished and Landlord finished improvements, replacing telephone and computer cabling and related services, replacing a reasonable amount of paper products that have Tenant’s address on it . In the event of such relocation, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without any change in the terms or conditions of this Lease, but with the new location substituted for the old location set forth in Section 1.1 of this Lease. Landlord shall be required to give Tenant a ninety day prior written notice of Landlord’s desire to relocate Tenant in accordance to this paragraph (i).

(j)LANDLORD ALTERATIONS OR MODIFICATIONS. Landlord shall have the right at any time to change the arrangement, character, use or location of entrances or passageways, doors, corridors, elevators, escalators, stairs, landscaping, toilets or any other portions of the Building, make additions or other modifications thereto, as Landlord shall deem appropriate, and to change the name or designation by which the Building is commonly known, and none of the foregoing shall be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, entitle Tenant to any reduction of rent hereunder or result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant. Additionally, the description of the Leased Premises and the location of any duct work, electrical wiring, plumbing to other equipment and systems of the Building within the Leased Premises shall be subject to such minor changes as Landlord determines to be necessary or desirable in the course of the construction or maintenance of same, and no such changes shall invalidate or affect this Lease.

(k)BROKERAGE. Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant has only dealt with Trammell Crow Company, Landlord’s exclusive Leasing Agent for Prominent Pointe/Northpoint Centre as broker in connection with this Lease and that, insofar as Tenant knows, no other broker negotiated this Lease or is entitled to any commission in connection herewith. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against all claims (and costs of defending against and investigating such claims, whether meritorious or not) of any other brokers or similar parties claiming by, through, or under Tenant in connection with this Lease. Landlord shall pay Tenant’s exclusive leasing agent, BlueStone Partners, a commission under the terms of a separate agreement.

(l)REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY TENANT. Tenant warrants to Landlord that: (a) the financial statements of Tenant furnished to Landlord are true and correct to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, (b) there has been no significant adverse change in Tenant’s financial condition since the date of the financial statements, (c) the financial statements fairly represent the financial condition of Tenant upon those dates and at the time this Lease is executed, (d) there are no delinquent taxes due and unpaid by Tenant, and (e) Tenant has never voluntarily or involuntarily been named as a debtor in any bankruptcy or involuntary proceedings.

[Tenant/Lessee] will not in the future during the term of the Agreement engage in any transactions or dealings, or be otherwise associated with, any Prohibited Persons in connection with the use or occupancy of the demised premises.

Breach of these representations constitutes a material breach of this Lease and shall entitle [Landlord/Lessor] to any and all remedies available thereunder, or at law or in equity.

(c)The waiver by Landlord of any agreement, condition or provision herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other agreement, condition or provision herein contained, nor shall any custom or practice which may grow up between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof be construed to waive or to lessen the right of Landlord to insist on the performance by Tenant in strict accordance with said terms. The subsequent acceptance of rental hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any agreement, condition or provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rental.

(d)It is expressly understood that Landlord does not, in any way or for any purpose, become a partner of Tenant in the conduct of its business, or otherwise, or joint venturer or a member of a joint enterprise with Tenant.

This Tenant Improvement/Construction Agreement (this “Construction Agreement”) is attached to and made a part of the Lease Agreement by and between Landlord and Tenant, and pertains to the design and construction of, and allowances for, certain improvements (the “Tenant Improvements”) in and to Tenant’s Leased Premises located on the second floor of the Building. All capitalized terms not defined in this Construction Agreement shall have the same meanings as used in the Lease.

For and in consideration of the premises, agreements, duties, covenants, obligations and other undertakings of each party to the other provided for in the Lease and in this Construction Agreement, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

1. Design Services. Landlord shall provide Tenant with mechanical and architectural design services for a building standard level of Tenant Improvements, including a complete set of plans and specifications (the “Construction Documents”). Tenant has furnished Landlord with all information necessary for the preparation of the initial Construction Documents. The space plan that is here in attached to Exhibit G-1 reflects the Tenant Improvements that Landlord and Tenant have mutually agreed to. Landlord has prepared and delivered a preliminary estimate for the costs to construct the improvements illustrated in the floor plan on Exhibit G-1 . Landlord will complete competitive bidding of the Construction Documents to determine the actual construction cost. Tenant will inform Landlord of Tenant’s approval or of any corrections required in the Construction Documents within ten (10) days after they are received by Tenant. Upon approval of the Construction Documents in accordance with this section, the Construction Documents shall constitute the Approved Construction Documents. Subsequent revisions or variations, if any, to the Approved Construction Documents shall be mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant. Any re-drawings requested by Tenant to the Approved Construction Documents shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. The Approved Construction Documents shall be attached to and incorporated in this Construction Agreement as Exhibit “G-1”.

3. Construction. Landlord agrees to construct or cause to be constructed the Tenant Improvements pursuant to the Approved Construction Documents. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord contemplates entering into a construction contract (“Construction Contract”) with a third party (“Contractor”) who will perform Landlord’s obligations hereunder. The construction of the Tenant Improvements will be competitively bid to not less than three (3) and no more than five (5) qualified general contractors. The bidders will be selected by Landlord and a summary of those bids will be submitted to Tenant for review and approval by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant and Landlord will mutually agree to the final selection of Contractor to perform the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant agrees to look solely to Contractor for construction of the Tenant Improvements and Landlord’s obligation shall be to use its best efforts to cause Contractor to complete the Tenant Improvements substantially in accordance with the Approved Construction Documents. Landlord shall collect a Construction Management fee, payable to Landlord, equal to five percent (5%) of the total construction costs.

36

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall have fourth five (45) days from the date the Construction Documents are approved to apply for and obtain a construction permit from the City of Austin to construct and complete such Tenant Improvements.

It is agreed and understood that all of the Tenant Improvements shall become the property of Landlord upon expiration of this Lease.

3.Delays. In the event the Contractor shall be delayed in substantially completing the Tenant Improvements and/or any additional work, if any, as a result of:

a) Tenant’s failure to promptly and timely furnish any information required by Landlord hereunder; or

b) Tenant’s delay in approving the plans; or

c) Tenant’s changes in any plans, which changes are contrary to the Construction Documents, including, without limitation, any change orders; or

d) Interference with Landlord’s work by Tenant or any contractor or agent of Tenant; or

e) The performance or lack of performance of any work by a person, firm or corporation employed by Tenant; or

f) Tenant’s request or use of materials, finishes or installations other than building standard; or

g) Tenant’s breach of this Construction Agreement or the Lease,

then the date the Leased Premises are deemed ready for occupancy and the date for payment of rent pursuant to the terms of this Lease shall be accelerated by the number of days of such delays.

4.Early Entry. Landlord will permit Tenant and its agents to enter the Leased Premises prior to the date the Leased Premises are ready for occupancy, in order that Tenant may perform through its own contractors such other work and decorations in and to the Leased Premises as Landlord may approve in writing. The foregoing license to enter the Leased Premises prior to the date the same are ready for occupancy, however, is conditioned upon Tenant’s contractors working in harmony and not interfering with Contractor or any subcontractors. Such license is further conditioned upon workers’ compensation and public liability insurance and property damage insurance, all in amounts and with companies and on forms satisfactory to Landlord, being provided and at all times maintained by Tenant’s contractors and certificates of such insurance being furnished to Landlord prior to Tenant proceeding with any work. Additionally, Tenant’s contractors must notify and coordinate with Contractor for scheduling work in the Leased Premises, prior to completion of the Tenant Improvements. So long as normal day-to-day business activities of Tenant have not commenced during such early entry, Tenant shall not be considered in occupancy of the Leased Premises. Landlord shall not be liable in any way for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to Tenant, its employees, contractors, agents, workmen and mechanics, or any one or more of them, or to any of Tenant’s decorations or installations so made prior to the Commencement Date, the same being solely at Tenant’s risk and Tenant indemnifies and agrees to hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims arising therefrom, regardless of whether such claims or damages are based in whole or in part upon the negligence of Landlord, Contractor or any of their respective employees, agents or contractors.

37

5.Punch List. Prior to occupancy of the Leased Premises by Tenant, Tenant shall submit to Landlord and Contractor a written list of any items that are of inferior workmanship or incomplete requiring “touch up” or minor finish, or items that are not in accordance with the approved Construction Documents (said list being hereinafter referred to as the “Punch List”). Upon receipt of the Punch List, Contractor shall have thirty (30) days thereafter to complete the Punch List items.

6.Tenant Improvement Allowance. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an allowance in an amount not to exceed $10.00 per square foot of Net Rentable Area within the Leased Premises for improvements in and to the Leased Premises (herein referred to as the “Improvement Allowance”). Any unused Improvement Allowance shall become the property of the Landlord.

Upon Tenant’s written request, Tenant shall have the right to amortize, into Tenant’s Basic Rental, up to an additional three dollars ($3.00) per net rentable square foot. Such amortization shall be at an interest rate of 8%. Tenant’s request for such amortization must be received by Landlord within 30 days from the Commencement Date.

7.NO WARRANTIES. LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IN CONNECTION WITH SPACE PLANS, CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS OR TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.
