     Pursuant to a lease agreement dated May 23, 2005 and the first amendment thereto dated April 17, 2006 (the “Master Lease”), copies of which are annexed to this Sublease as Exhibit A, between Carr Texas OP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as landlord (“Landlord”) and Sublandlord, as tenant, Sublandlord leased from Landlord a total of approximately thirty-nine thousand two hundred twenty-six (39,226) rentable square feet in the building known as Riata Corporate Park 2 (the “Building”) and having an address at 12301-B Riata Trace Parkway, Austin, Texas (the “Premises”). The term “Master Lease” includes any amendments or modifications thereto and any other agreements concerning the Premises. Sublandlord now desires to sublease to Subtenant and Subtenant desires to sublease from Sublandlord a portion of the Premises described as approximately twenty-one thousand one hundred forty-eight (21,148) rentable square feet on the second floor of the Building (the “Subleased Premises”), as determined in accordance with The Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings (ANSI/BOMA 265.1-1996, published by the Building Owners and Managers Association).
     For good and valuable consideration, the receipt whereof is acknowledged by the parties, Sublandlord and Subtenant agree as follows:

7. Services. Sublandlord shall have no liability or responsibility for the provision of any services to the Subleased Premises. Rather, Landlord will provide such services in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease.

Subtenant shall obtain and maintain in full force and effect throughout the Term of this Sublease a contract with a reputable service company for the upkeep and maintenance of the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system servicing the Subleased Premises to the extent required under the Master Lease, and shall provide a copy of such contract and all renewals to Sublandlord. Sublandlord shall have no liability or responsibility for maintenance, repairs, rebuilding or restoration of the Subleased Premises. No failure of Landlord to provide such maintenance, repairs, rebuilding or restoration shall cause Sublandlord to be in default under this Sublease nor shall Subtenant be entitled to an abatement of rent or to terminate this Sublease.
10. Entry by Landlord and Sublandlord. Subtenant shall permit Landlord and Sublandlord and their agents and representatives to enter upon the Subleased Premises for the purposes and under the conditions set forth in the Master Lease.
11. Environmental Conditions. Subtenant shall not bring or cause to be brought to the Premises, or produce on the Subleased Premises, any hazardous substances (“Hazardous Substances”) which are regulated by any Federal, State or local statutes or ordinances.

Subtenant shall not cause or permit its employees, agents, licensees, contractors, customers, or any other parties coming onto or into the Subleased Premises for any reason, to cause the use, generation, release, manufacture, production, processing, storage, or disposal of any Hazardous Substances on or from the Subleased

3


 

Premises. Further, Subtenant shall not cause any hazardous condition to occur on the Subleased Premises or conduct any business or operations on the Subleased Premises which are reasonably deemed by Sublandlord’s or Landlord’s insurance carriers to constitute a material increase in the risks initially insured as they pertain to hazardous materials or hazardous activities, or which would increase Landlord’s or Sublandlord’s property or liability insurance premiums. In the event Subtenant breaches the provisions of this Paragraph 11, Subtenant shall, in accordance with applicable laws, promptly remove the Hazardous Substances and cease the business or operations which are hazardous. In the event Subtenant shall fail to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 11, Sublandlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to it in this Sublease, shall have the right to immediately terminate this Sublease and to take all actions legally permissible to remove Subtenant and its property from the Premises. The obligations of this Paragraph 11 are in addition to any provision in the Master Lease concerning environmental conditions or issues. It is expressly agreed by Subtenant that its indemnification obligations under this Sublease, and all the terms and conditions thereof pursuant to Paragraph 19, apply to this Paragraph 11.
12. Surrender of Premises. Subtenant shall immediately vacate and surrender the Subleased Premises on the expiration or any earlier termination date of this Sublease, and shall simultaneously remove all of Subtenant’s furnishings, equipment, and all other personal property from the Subleased Premises. Subtenant also shall comply with all provisions of the Master Lease with respect to the surrender of the Subleased Premises upon expiration of the Master Lease. If Subtenant fails to remove any of its property within five (5) days thereafter, Sublandlord shall have the right, in Sublandlord’s sole discretion, to deem all or any part of such property abandoned and to remove, store, or dispose of Subtenant’s property in any manner it elects without any obligation to account for the value of such property or to make any payment therefor to Subtenant. If Subtenant shall fail to vacate the Subleased Premises or remove any of its property as described above, then Sublandlord, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have pursuant to the Master Lease, this Sublease, or at law or in equity, shall have the right to receive and Subtenant shall pay as penalty and not as Rent, an amount equal to 200% of the Base Rent due for each day after the expiration or termination date that Subtenant and/or its property remains in the Subleased Premises.
13. Incorporation of Master Lease.
     a. This Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Master Lease. Except as may be inconsistent with the terms and provisions hereof, the terms and provisions of the Master Lease shall be applicable to this Sublease and shall be incorporated into this Sublease as if Sublandlord was the lessor under the Master Lease and Subtenant was the lessee under the Master Lease. Where reasonably necessary, the terms of the Master Lease as incorporated into this Sublease shall be construed in light of the fact that Sublandlord (unlike Landlord) does not own a fee interest in the Subleased Premises but only a leasehold interest under the Master Lease.
     b. Landlord’s performance in accordance with the Master Lease shall fulfill the equivalent obligation of Sublandlord hereunder. As between the parties hereto, if the terms of this Sublease conflict with the terms of the Master Lease, then the terms of this Sublease shall control. Subtenant shall perform and observe all the obligations, covenants, indemnities, and conditions contained in the Master Lease on Sublandlord’s part that are incorporated herein above by reference. Subtenant will not cause or allow to be caused any default under the Master Lease. Subtenant hereby indemnifies and holds Sublandlord harmless from and against any claim, loss, damage, expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) or liability arising under the Master Lease, from or related to Subtenant’s failure to perform Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease, or arising from a default under the Master Lease caused by Subtenant, including without limitation those obligations of Sublandlord pursuant to the Master Lease which are incorporated herein by reference. Subtenant acknowledges that it has received and reviewed the Master Lease, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Subtenant is not relying on, and Sublandlord has made no representations regarding, the interpretation of the terms of the Master Lease.
     c. Sublandlord shall be entitled to the same rights, privileges, options, and remedies available to Landlord under the Master Lease and such rights, privileges, options and remedies are

4


 

hereby incorporated in this Sublease. Subtenant acknowledges that it is bound by the same responsibilities, limitations, and duties of the tenant under the Master Lease and that such responsibilities, limitations, and duties are hereby incorporated in this Sublease.
14. Option to Renew or Extend Master Lease. Sublandlord shall retain all right, and Subtenant shall have no right, to exercise any renewal, expansion, refusal, contraction, termination, preferential or other rights contained in the Master Lease to increase or decrease the size of the Premises or the Subleased Premises, extend or shorten the term of the Master Lease, or terminate the Master Lease.
15. Partial Lease Provisions.
     a. Allocation of Rent. To the extent any charges payable under the Master Lease, and payable under this Sublease, are payable on a per square foot basis, such as Additional Rent, then such charges shall also be allocated to the Subleased Premises on a per square foot basis.
     b. Parking. Subtenant shall be entitled to use eighty-five (85) of the parking spaces to which Sublandlord is entitled under the Master Lease, at no additional cost.
     c. Signs. Sublandlord shall retain all signage and building naming rights contained in the Master Lease. Subtenant shall have no right to install any signs on the exterior of the Subleased Premises, the Premises, or the building in which the Premises is located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the prior written approval of both Landlord and Sublandlord, in their respective sole and absolute discretion, Subtenant may install, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, standard directory and suite signage.
     d. Elevator Lobby. Subject to the prior written approval of both Landlord and Sublandlord, in their respective sole and absolute discretion, Subtenant may utilize the elevator lobby of the Building on floor 2 as its reception area; provided, however, that such use shall not interfere with or otherwise disturb the access of other tenants in the Building to their respective leased premises or interrupt the business operations of other tenants in the Building.
16. Insurance.
     a. As of the Effective Date, Subtenant shall provide and keep in force during the Term commercial general liability insurance with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence covering the Subleased Premises, Fire Legal Liability limits of $300,000; Property insurance covering subtenants betterments and improvements and personal property; along with any other insurance required to be maintained by the tenant under the Master Lease. The policies shall name Landlord and Sublandlord as additional insureds and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days written notice before cancellation or material change in the policy. Subtenants policies shall waive all rights of subrogation against Landlord and Sublandlord and shall be primary insurance and not excess over any liability insurance provided by Landlord or Sublandlord. Subtenant shall provide to Sublandlord a certificate of insurance as evidence of coverage prior to Subtenant’s occupancy of the Premises and shall promptly furnish Sublandlord with a renewal certificate on or before the date of the expiration of the policy then in effect.
     b. Anything in this Sublease to the contrary notwithstanding, Sublandlord and Subtenant each hereby waives any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or cause-of-action, against each other, and the Landlord, and their agents (including partners, both general and limited), officers, directors, shareholders, customers, invitees, or employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Subleased Premises, the Premises, and the building in which they are located, or any improvements thereto, or any improvements thereon, or any personal property of such party therein, by reason of fire, the elements or any other cause which is actually insured against by Landlord, Sublandlord or Subtenant, as the case may be, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of the other party hereto, its agents, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, customers, invitees or employees, and covenants that no insurer shall hold any right of subrogation against such other party.

In the event Subtenant desires to exercise the Subtenant Renewal Right, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice of its intent to renew.

     12. Tenant shall cause all doors to the Premises to be closed and securely locked and shall turn off all utilities, lights and machines before leaving the Building at the end of the day.
     13. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall not use the name of the Building or the Project or any picture of the Building or the Project in connection with, or in promoting or advertising the business of, Tenant, except Tenant may use the address of the Building as the address of its business.
     14. Tenant shall cooperate fully with Landlord to assure the most effective operation of the Premises’ or the Building’s heating and air conditioning, and shall refrain from attempting to adjust any controls, other than room thermostats installed for Tenant’s use. Tenant shall keep corridor doors closed.
     15. Tenant assumes full responsibility for protecting the Premises from theft, robbery and pilferage, which may arise from a cause other than Landlord’s negligence, which includes keeping doors locked and other means of entry to the Premises closed and secured.

The use thereof, if permitted, shall be subject to control by Landlord to the end that others shall not be disturbed.
     27. Tenant shall promptly remove all rubbish and waste from the Premises.
     28. Tenant shall not exhibit, sell or offer for sale, rent or exchange in the Premises or at the Project any article, thing or service, except those ordinarily embraced within the use of the Premises specified in Section 6 of this Lease, without the prior written consent of Landlord.

APPENDIX C
TENANT IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT
     1. INITIAL IMPROVEMENTS. Landlord shall cause to be constructed, in a good workmanlike manner, the improvements (the “Initial Improvements”) in the Premises in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Tenant and Landlord (the “Plans”), which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Initial Improvements shall be performed at the Landlord’s cost.
     Landlord shall cause the Plans to be prepared by a professional architect, and mechanical and electrical engineer(s) and based upon the space plans as shown on Appendix C-1 attached hereto using building standard finishes. Within ten (10) business days after the later to occur of (i) the mutual execution of the Lease or (ii) Tenant’s providing to Landlord the preliminary space plans for the Premises and such other information reasonably required by Landlord to commence preparation of the Plans, Landlord shall furnish the initial draft of the Plans to Tenant for Tenant’s review and approval. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt, either provide comments to such Plans or approve the same. Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such Plans if it does not timely provide comments on such Plans. If Tenant provides Landlord with comments to the initial draft of the Plans, Landlord shall provide revised Plans to Tenant incorporating Tenant’s comments within one (1) week after receipt of Tenant’s comments. Tenant shall, within five (5) business days after receipt, then either provide comments to such revised Plans or approve such Plans. Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such revised Plans if Tenant does not timely provide comments on such Plans. The process described above shall be repeated, if necessary, until the Plans have been finally approved by Tenant and Landlord; provided, however, if Landlord and Tenant cannot, despite using good faith efforts, reach agreement with respect to the Plans by June 15, 2005, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease upon delivery of written notice to the other, whereupon (i) Landlord shall return to Tenant any prepaid Rent and (ii) the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Lease. Landlord hereby agrees that the Plans for the Initial Improvements shall comply with all applicable Governmental Requirements.
     Once the Plans have been finally approved, Landlord will promptly prepare all necessary construction drawings for the construction of the Initial Improvements. Upon the completion of such construction drawings, Landlord shall submit the same to Tenant for its approval. Tenant shall, within five (5) days after receipt, then either provide comments to such drawings or approve the same. Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such drawings if Tenant does not timely provide comments thereto. If Tenant timely provides any comments to such drawings, Landlord shall revise such drawings and resubmit the same to Tenant for its review and approval. Until such time as Landlord and Tenant mutually approve such construction drawings, the process described above shall be repeated as reasonably necessary, and both Landlord and Tenant agree to act in good faith in order to derive mutually acceptable construction drawings for the construction of the Initial Improvements.
     Once the Plans and all construction drawings relative thereto have been finalized and approved by Tenant and Landlord, Landlord shall promptly (i) submit the same to the appropriate governmental authorities for the issuance of all necessary building permits, and (ii) select a contractor to perform the construction of the Initial Improvements. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Improvements to be substantially completed, except for

C-1


 

mechanical adjustments or minor details of construction (“Punch List Items”), on or before July 1, 2005 (the “Intended Completion Date”), subject to Tenant Delay (as defined in Section 4 hereof) and Force Majeure.
     2. CHANGE ORDERS. If, prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall require improvements or changes (individually or collectively, “Change Orders”) to the Premises in addition to, revision of, or substitution for the Initial Improvements, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for its approval plans and specifications for such Change Orders. If Landlord does not approve of the plans for Change Orders, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the revisions required. Tenant shall revise and redeliver the plans and specifications to Landlord within five (5) business days of Landlord’s advice or Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned its request for such Change Orders. Tenant shall pay for all preparations and revisions of plans and specifications, and the construction of all Change Orders.
     3. TURN KEY. Landlord shall complete the Initial Improvements on a “turn key” basis; provided, however, Landlord has no obligation to pay for costs of (i) Change Orders or (ii) costs associated with cabling, telecommunications equipment, furniture, appliances and Tenant’s move into the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a moving allowance of up to $355,000.00 for Tenant’s moving expenses, which allowance shall be provided to Tenant within ten (10) days after Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises.
     4. COMMENCEMENT DATE DELAY. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Commencement Date of the Lease shall not occur prior to the date that the Initial Improvements have been substantially completed (the “Completion Date”); provided, however, the Commencement Date shall not be deferred to or beyond the Completion Date to the extent that any one or more of the following (a “Tenant Delay”), has caused the Completion Date to occur after the Intended Completion Date:
          (a) Tenant’s request for Change Orders to the extent such Change Orders actually cause a delay; or
          (b) Contractor’s performance of any Change Orders, to the extent a delay results therefrom; or
          (c) Tenant’s request for materials, finishes or installations requiring unusually long lead times; or
          (d) Tenant’s delay in reviewing, revising or approving plans and specifications beyond the periods set forth herein; or
          (e) Tenant’s delay in providing information critical to the normal progression of the project. Tenant shall provide such information as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event longer than one week after receipt of such request for information from the Landlord; or
          (f) Tenant’s delay in making payments to Landlord for costs of the Change Orders; or

C-2


 

          (g) Any other act or omission by Tenant, its agents, contractors or persons employed by any of such persons, to the extent a delay results therefrom.
          Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify Tenant of any circumstances or acts or omissions of Tenant that constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder. If the Completion Date occurs after the Intended Completion Date, and such delay has resulted from a Tenant Delay, then, for purposes of this Lease, the Completion Date shall be deemed to be the date, determined in Landlord’s sole discretion, on which the Initial Improvements would have been substantially completed but for any Tenant Delay. For purposes hereof, the Initial Improvements shall be deemed to be “substantially completed” at such time as Landlord has certified to Tenant that (i) Landlord has completed the Initial Improvements in substantial conformance with the Plans, subject only to Punch List Items, (ii) Landlord has tendered possession of the Premises to Tenant, and (iii) Landlord has obtained any required certificates of occupancy necessary to permit Tenant to occupy the Premises.
          Landlord shall complete Punch List Items within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, and, for a period of one (1) year after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall promptly repair or correct any latent defects in the Initial Improvements, provided that Tenant gives Landlord written notice thereof within said one-year period.
     5. ACCESS BY TENANT PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF TERM. Landlord at its discretion may permit Tenant and its agents to enter the Premises prior to the Completion Date to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy. Any such permission shall constitute a license only, conditioned upon Tenant’s:
          (a) working in harmony with Landlord and Landlord’s agents, contractors, workmen, mechanics and suppliers and with other tenants and occupants of the Building;
          (b) obtaining in advance Landlord’s approval of the contractors proposed to be used by Tenant and depositing with Landlord in advance of any work the contractor’s statement of the scope of work to be performed (or a copy of its construction contract with Tenant) and the form of lien waivers intended to be utilized by the contractor and all subcontractors and suppliers of material; and
          (c) furnishing Landlord with such insurance as Landlord may require against liabilities which may arise out of such entry.
          Landlord shall have the right to withdraw such license for any reason upon twenty-four (24) hours’ written notice to Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable in any way for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant’s property or installations in the Premises prior to the Commencement Date. Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord from all liabilities, costs, damages, fees and expenses arising out of the activities of Tenant or its agents, contractors, suppliers or workmen in the Premises or the Building. Any entry and occupation permitted under this Section shall be governed by Section 5 and all other terms of the Lease.
     6. MISCELLANEOUS. Terms used in this Appendix C shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Lease. The terms of this Appendix C are subject to the terms of the Lease.

APPENDIX F
SPECIAL PROVISIONS
1. EXTENSION OPTION. Subject to Subsection B below, Tenant may at its option extend the Term of this Lease for two (2) periods of five (5) years each (each, a “Renewal Term”). Each Renewal Term shall be upon the same terms contained in this Lease excluding Appendix C of this Lease and except for the payment of Base Rent during the Renewal Term; and any reference in the Lease to the “Term” of the Lease shall be deemed to include each Renewal Term and apply thereto, unless it is expressly provided otherwise. Tenant shall have no additional extension options.
     A. The Base Rent during each Renewal Term shall be the Market Rate (defined hereinafter) for such space for a term commencing on the first day of the Renewal Term. “Market Rate” shall mean the then prevailing market rate for a comparable term commencing on the first day of the Renewal Term for tenants of comparable size for comparable space (giving due consideration to existing tenant improvements) in the Building and other first class office buildings in the vicinity of the Building, as reasonably determined by Landlord.
     B. To exercise any option, Tenant must deliver a binding notice to Landlord not less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term of this Lease. Thereafter, the Market Rate for the Renewal Term shall be calculated pursuant to Subsection C below and Landlord shall inform Tenant of the Market Rate. Such calculations shall be final and shall not be recalculated at the actual commencement of the Renewal Term. If Tenant fails to timely give its notice of exercise, Tenant will be deemed to have waived its option to extend.
     C. Market Rate shall be determined as follows:
     (i) If Tenant provides Landlord with its binding notice of exercise pursuant to Subsection B above, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, Landlord shall calculate and inform Tenant of the Market Rate. If Tenant rejects the Market Rate as calculated by Landlord, Tenant shall inform Landlord of its rejection within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s calculation, and Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to agree upon the Market Rate. If Tenant fails to timely reject Landlord’s calculation of the Market Rate it will be deemed to have accepted such calculation. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of rejection, then the Market Rate shall be determined in accordance with (ii) below.
     (ii) If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement on the Market Rate within said fifteen (15) day period, then within five (5) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously submit to the other in a sealed envelope its good faith estimate of the Market Rate. If the higher of such estimates is not more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower, then the Market Rate shall be the average of the two. Otherwise, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with (iii) and (iv) below.

F-1


 

     (iii) Within seven (7) days after the exchange of estimates, the parties shall select as an arbitrator an independent MAI appraiser with at least ten (10) years of experience in appraising office space in the metropolitan area in which the Project is located (a “Qualified Appraiser”). If the parties cannot agree on a Qualified Appraiser, then within a second period of seven (7) days, each shall select a Qualified Appraiser and within ten (10) days thereafter the two appointed Qualified Appraisers shall select a third Qualified Appraiser and the third Qualified Appraiser shall be the sole arbitrator. If one party shall fail to select a Qualified Appraiser within the second seven (7) day period, then the Qualified Appraiser chosen by the other party shall be the sole arbitrator.

The arbitrator shall notify Landlord and Tenant of its decision, which shall be final and binding. If the arbitrator believes that expert advice would materially assist him, the arbitrator may retain one or more qualified persons to provide expert advice. The fees of the arbitrator and the expenses of the arbitration proceeding, including the fees of any expert witnesses retained by the arbitrator, shall be paid by the party whose estimate is not selected. Each party shall pay the fees of its respective counsel and the fees of any witness called by that party.
          D. Tenant’s option to extend this Lease is subject to the conditions that: (i) on the date that Tenant delivers its binding notice exercising an option to extend, Tenant is not in default under this Lease after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, and (ii) except to a Permitted Transferee, Tenant shall not have assigned the Lease, or sublet any portion of the Premises under a sublease which is effective at any time during the final twelve (12) months of the initial Term.
2. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Subject to Subsection B below, and subject to any renewal options of any current tenant in the Building (a “Prior Tenant”), Landlord hereby grants to Tenant for the Term of the Lease a recurring right of first refusal to lease the portion of the first (1st) floor of the Building immediately contiguous to the portion of the original Premises on the first (1st) floor (collectively, the “RFR Space”), to be exercised in accordance with Subsection A below.
     A. In the event Landlord receives a bona fide offer or proposal from a third party to lease all or a portion of the RFR Space acceptable to Landlord, which may be evidenced by a written proposal from a prospective tenant detailing all substantive lease terms, Landlord shall so notify Tenant (“Landlord’s RFR Notice”), identifying the available RFR Space and setting forth the business terms of such offer or proposal. Tenant shall notify Landlord within five (5) business days of receipt of Landlord’s RFR Notice whether it desires to lease such RFR Space on the terms set forth in Landlord’s RFR Notice. If Tenant does not notify Landlord within said 5-day period that it will lease such RFR Space, Tenant shall have no further right of first refusal for such RFR Space unless Landlord fails to enter into a lease for such RFR Space substantially on such terms within six (6) months following Landlord’s RFR Notice, in which case the RFR Space shall again be subject to Tenant’s right of first refusal as set forth herein after such 6-month period. Furthermore, if at any time during the Lease Term the RFR Space or any portion of it subsequently becomes available for rent, Tenant’s recurring right of first refusal shall again become applicable with respect to such space. If Tenant exercises its right of first refusal with respect to the RFR Space, such space shall be

added to the Premises for all purposes of this Lease on (a) the terms specified in Landlord’s RFR Notice (except that the lease term for such RFR Space shall be coterminous with the Term of the Lease), and (b) the terms of this Lease to the extent that they do not conflict with the terms specified in Landlord’s RFR Notice.
     B. Tenant’s right of first refusal is subject to the conditions that: (i) on the date that Tenant delivers its notice exercising its right of first refusal, Tenant is not in default under this Lease after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, and (ii) except to a Permitted Transferee, Tenant shall not have assigned the Lease, or sublet any portion of the Premises under a sublease which is in effect at any time during the period commencing with Tenant’s delivery of its notice and ending on the date the RFR Space is added to the Premises.
     C. Promptly after Tenant’s exercise of its right of first refusal, Landlord shall execute and deliver to Tenant an amendment to the Lease to reflect changes in the Premises, Base Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share and any other appropriate terms changed by the addition of the RFR Space. Within fifteen (15) business days thereafter, Tenant shall execute and return the amendment, or be deemed not to have elected to exercise its right of first refusal as to the RFR Space, and Landlord shall thereafter be free to lease the RFR Space to such third party offeror.
3. SIGNAGE.
     A. Subject to provisions of this Section 3, Landlord grants Tenant the nonexclusive right to place a building sign identifying the tenancy of Tenant on the Building (the “Sign”). For purposes of this Section and Tenant’s right to the Sign, “Tenant” shall mean only the original party who signed this Lease on the execution date as the tenant.
     B. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that:
     (i) The size, dimensions, material, content, design, construction, location and method of installation of the Sign shall be as depicted on Schedule F-1 (location) and Schedule F-2 (plans and specifications) attached hereto. Any changes or additions to such exhibit shall require Landlord’s prior written consent;
     (ii) Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring that the Sign is in compliance with all applicable codes, ordinances, statutes, rules and regulations, including any action or rule of any landmark and/or historical commission having jurisdiction;
     (iii) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain and comply with all consents, approvals and permits necessary from all governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and landmark and/or historical commissions having jurisdiction;
     (iv) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall insure the Sign as part of its property and shall also carry liability and property damage insurance with respect to the Sign in amounts equal to full replacement and reinstallation costs of the Sign; and
     (v) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall clean and maintain the Sign on a regular basis so as to ensure that the Sign retains an attractive appearance at all times.

F-3


 

     C. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall:
     (i) Pay all costs associated with creating, designing, manufacturing, installing, cleaning, maintaining, repairing and replacing (if necessary) the Sign; and
     (ii) Be permitted to illuminate the Sign; provided, however, that Tenant pays all costs of such illumination, which costs shall include, without limitation, the installation, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of bulbs and ballasts (“Lighting Costs”). If any of the Lighting Costs are invoiced to Landlord, such costs shall become immediately due upon invoice to Tenant therefor from Landlord.
     D. In the event that Tenant:
     (i) Assigns the Lease (except as may be permitted under Paragraph 17G of the Lease); or
     (ii) Is in default of the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods;
Then, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, Landlord may, but is not required to, terminate Tenant’s rights and privileges pursuant to this Section II and remove the Sign from the Building.
     E. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, or upon termination of Tenant’s rights and privileges in accordance with paragraph D of this Section 2:
     (i) If Landlord desires that the Sign be removed, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove the Sign and restore and repair all parts of the Building affected by the installation or removal of the Sign to the condition existing prior to its installation or to a condition otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord; or
     (ii) If Landlord does not then desire that the Sign be removed, such Sign shall remain until such time as Landlord shall desire that it be removed, in which event Landlord shall remove the Sign and repair and restore all damage caused by such removal, and such removal, repair and restoration costs shall be deemed Additional Rent, due and payable by Tenant upon invoice therefor from Landlord.
     F. Tenant’s rights hereunder shall be subject to the existing signage rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building, and Landlord shall be permitted to grant to other tenants of the Building the right to install signage on or in the Building.
4. TERMINATION RIGHT. To be effective on the last day of the sixtieth (60th) Lease Month (“Termination Date”), so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant shall have a one-time right (“Termination Right”) to terminate this Lease in its entirety by timely providing Landlord written notice of Tenant’s exercise of such Termination Right (the “Termination Notice”), and paying to Landlord the Termination Payment (defined below). The Termination Notice must be

F-4


 

given to Landlord on or before the day which is six (6) months prior to the Termination Date. Once exercised by Tenant, the Termination Right may not be revoked by Tenant without Landlord’s consent. The Termination Payment must be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt from Landlord of its calculation of the amount of the Termination Payment in order for the Termination Notice to be effective. The failure of Tenant to timely give the Termination Notice and/or pay the Termination Payment shall be deemed a waiver by Tenant of the Termination Right.
     As used herein, “Termination Payment” shall mean a cash amount equal to the sum of the (a) six (6) month’s Rent at the rate charged immediately prior to the Termination Date, plus (b) the aggregate of the unamortized portions (as of the Termination Date) of (i) costs incurred by Landlord in the construction and installation of the Tenant Improvements, (ii) leasing commissions paid by Landlord in connection with this Lease, and (iii) moving costs provided by Landlord to Tenant, such amortization being calculated by using a straight line method over the Term of the Lease and a eight percent (8%) per annum interest factor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant has exercised its right to lease any RFR Space in accordance with the terms hereof, the Termination Payment shall also include such amounts relative to the RFR Space.
