INTERVEST-XXXXXXX OAKS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, as Lessor, and MULTIMEDIA GAMES,
INC., as Lessee, dated _____________________, 199___, to which reference is
herewith made as if here set forth in full as follows:
Rental Escalation: In the event operating expenses (as defined below)
of Lessor upon the land and building, including parking area, of which the
Leased Premises are part, shall in any calendar year, exceed the sum of $4.16
per square foot (based on net rentable square feet comprising the Building),
the upon written notice to the Lessor, the Lessee agrees to pay as additional
rental, Lessee's probata share of such operating expenses in excess of $4.16.
Lessor shall, within ninety (90) days following the close of any
calendar year for which additional rental is due under this section, give
written notice there to Lessee, provided, however, Lessor may within thirty
(30) days prior to the termination of this Lease estimate Lessee's probata
share of the excess operating expenses for that calendar year and reasonable
detail. Lessee agrees to pay Lessor additional rental within fifteen (15) days
after such written notice. The monthly rental rate for the following year will
be increased by the increased amount of expenses during the current calendar
year. The term "operating expenses" as used herein includes Lessor's cost of
providing heating, air conditioning, utilities, janitorial services and
supplies, snow removal, security services, reasonable management costs,
landscape, and general maintenance and repairs. The term "operating expenses"
also includes all real property taxes which accrue against the building and
land during the term of the Lease as well as all insurance premiums Lessor is
required to pay or deems necessary to pay, including public liability
insurance, with respect to the building and land. If an increase in the fire
and extended coverage insurance premiums paid by Lessor for the building is
caused by Lessee's use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, or if Lessee
vacates the Leased Premises and causes an increase in such premiums, then
Lessee shall pay as additional rental the amount of such increase to Lessor.
In no event shall a single rental escalation cause Lessee's total
monthly rental to increase more than five percent (5%) per year.
-14-

RIDER #2
1. Mechanical. Lessor agrees to use its best efforts to provide Lessee
adequate mechanical in order to meet Lessee's electrical and telephone
requirements for ordinary office usage.
2. Lessor's Insurance Requirements. Lessor, at its sole option, may
procure and maintain at times during the term of this Lease a policy or
policies of insurance covering loss or damages to the Property (exclusive of
Lessee's trade fixtures, equipment, and personal property), providing
protection against those perils as Lessor deems appropriate.
3. Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor warrants that it has full right to execute and
to perform this Lease and to grant the estate Leases, and, that Lessee, upon
payment of the required Rent and performing the terms, conditions, covenants,
and agreements contained in this Lease, shall peaceable and quietly have, hold,
and enjoy the Leased Premises during the full term of this Lease as well as any
extension or renewal thereof. However, Lessee accepts this Lease subject and
subordinate to any underlying Lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien
presently existing upon the Property. Lessor hereby is irrevocably vested with
full power and authority to subordinate Lessee's interest under this agreement
to any underlying Lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien hereafter
placed on the Property, and Lessee agrees upon demand to execute additional
instruments subordinating this Lease as Lessor may require. If the Lessor's
interest under this Lease shall be transferred by reason of foreclosure of
other proceedings for enforcement of any lien, deed of trust, or mortgage on
the Property, Lessee shall be bound to the transferee (sometimes called
"Purchaser") under the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease for the
balance of the term remaining, and any extensions or renewals thereof, with the
same force and effect as if the Purchaser were the Lessor under this Lease.
Lessee agrees to attorn to the Purchasee, as its Lessor, the attornment to be
effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments
upon the Purchase succeeding to the interest of the Lessor under this Lease.
The respective rights and obligations of Lessee and the Purchaser upon the
attornment, to the extent of the then remaining balance of the term of this
Lease, and any extensions and renewals thereof, shall be the same as those
herein contained.
4. Force Majeure. In the event Lessor or Lessee shall be delayed,
hindered, or prevented from the performance of any act required herein by
reason of strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure materials,
failure of power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots,
insurrection, war, or any other reason of a like nature ("Event") that is not
the
-15-
16
fault of the Party delayed in performing the work or doing the acts required
under the terms of this Lease, then said performance of any such act shall be
excused for the period of time the Event takes place. The period for the
performance of any such act shall be extended for a period of time equivalent
to the time period of the Event. The provisions of this section shall not
