12. The covenants and agreements contained herein shall bind and inure
to the benefit of Sublessor, Sublessee, Sublessee Guarantor and their

THE STATE OF TEXAS
COUNTY OF DALLAS

1989 between Two Galleria Tower Limited, a limited partnership organized
under the Texas Uniform Limited Partnership Act (hereinafter called "Lessor"),
whose address for purposes hereof is 0000 Xxxx Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx
00000-0000, and Arkwright Mutual Insurance Company (hereinafter called
"Lessee").
Lessee's address for purpose hereof until commencement of the term of this
Lease being 12700 Hillcrest, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 and thereafter being that
of the "Building" (thereafter defined).
WITNESSETH:
1.
Leased Premises
1. Subject to and upon the terms, provisions and conditions hereinafter
set forth, and each in consideration of the duties, covenants and obligations
of the other hereunder Lessor does hereby lease, demise and let to Lessee
and Lessee does hereby lease from Lessor those certain premises (hereinafter
sometimes called the "Leased Premises") in the building known as Two Galleria
Tower/13455 Xxxx Road (herein called the "Building") located in Dallas,
Texas, such premises being more particularly described as follows: Twenty two
thousand three hundred sixty nine (22,369) square feet of Net Rentable Area
located on the nineteenth (19th) floor as reflected on the floor plan of such
premises attached hereto and made a part hereof as EXHIBIT A.
2. The term "Net Rentable Area" (NRA) as used herein shall refer to (i) in
the case of single tenancy floor, all floor area measured from the inside
surface of the outer glass or exterior wall of the Building to the inside
surface of the opposite exterior wall, excluding only the areas within the
outside walls used for elevator mechanical rooms, building stairs, fire
towers, elevator shafts, flues, vents, stacks, vertical pipe shafts and
vertical ducts, but including any such areas which are for the specific use
of the particular tenant such as special stairs or elevators, plus an
allocation of the square footage of the Building's elevator and main
mechanical rooms, ground level lobby and basement service area and basement
support facilities for such service area and (ii) in the case of a partial
floor, all floor areas within the inside surface of the outer glass or
exterior wall enclosing the portion of the Leased Premises on such floor and
measured to the mid-point of the walls separating areas leased by or held for
lease to other tenants or from areas devoted to corridors, elevator foyers,
restrooms, mechanical rooms, janitor closets, vending areas and other
similar facilities for the use of all tenants on the particular floor
(hereinafter sometimes called "Common Areas"), but including a proportionate
part of the Common Areas located on such floor based upon the ratio which the
tenant's NRA on such floor bears to the aggregate NRA on such floor plus an
allocation of the square footage of the Building's elevator and main
mechanical rooms, ground level lobby and basement service area and basement
service area and basement support facilities for such service area. No
deductions from NRA are made for columns or projections necessary to the
Building. All parking facilities located within the building are excluded
from NRA. The NRA in the Leased Premises has been calculated on the basis of
the foregoing definition and is hereby stipulated for all purposes hereof to
be 22,369 square feet, whether the same should be more or less as a result of
minor variations resulting from actual construction and completion of the
Leased Premises for occupancy so long as such work is in accordance with the
terms and provisions hereof.
Term
1. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, or
in any exhibit or addendum hereto, this Lease shall continue in force for a
term of One hundred twenty (120) months, beginning on the 1st day of May 1989
and ending on the 30th day of April 1999.
(b) In the event the Leased Premises should not be ready for occupancy
by said commencement date for any reason, Lessor shall not be liable or
responsible for any claims, damages or liabilities in connection therewith or
by reason thereof. This Lease Agreement shall be effective only from the time
that the leased premises are ready for occupancy by Lessee which date shall
be the date of commencement of the term of this lease. Should the term of
this Lease commence on a date other than that specified in Paragraph 1(a)
above, of Article II, Lessor and Lessee will, at the request of either,
execute a declaration specifying the beginning date of the term of this Lease
Agreement. In such event, rental under this Lease shall not commence until
said revised commencement date, and the stated term in this Lease shall
thereupon commence and the expiration date shall be extended so as to give
effect to the full stated term.
Use
2. The Leased Premises are to be used and occupied by Lessee for the
purpose of office space.
Base Rental
3. Lessee hereby agrees to pay a base annual rental (herein called "Base
Rental") in the sum of ** per year. Lessee shall pay, as additional rent, all
other sums of money as shall become due and payable by Lessee to Lessor
under this Lease. The Lessor shall have the same remedies of default for the
payment of additional rent as are available to Lessor in the case of a default
in the payment of Base Rental. Such Base Rental, together with any
adjustments of rent provided for herein then in effect, shall be due and
payable in twelve (12) equal installments on the first day of each
calendar month during the initial term or any extensions or renewals thereof,
and Lessee hereby agrees to pay such rent to Lessor at such address as may be
designated by lessor monthly in advance without demand. If the term of this
Lease as heretofore established commences on other than the first day of a
month or terminates on other than the last day of a month, then the installment
of Base Rental of such month or months shall be prorated and the installment
or installments so prorated shall be paid in advance. All past due
installments of rent shall bear interest at the maximum lawful rate* per annum
until paid. *not to exceed 18% per annum. **See Addendum Paragraph 2.
4. The Base Rental Adjustment shall be calculated in accordance with the
following:
(a) Lessee's Base Rental includes a component applicable to Basic
Costs (hereafter defined) equal to *$6.15/square foot of NRA of the Leased
Premises. This amount is an estimate of Basic Costs as if the Building,
Parking Garage(s) in which tenants of the Building are authorized to park
from time to time, and skywalks (the "Office Project") were in operation
in 1988.
(b) Prior to the Lessee's occupancy of the Leased Premises, Lessor
will provide an updated estimate of Basic Costs for the year in which
occupancy occurs. If this estimate exceeds *$6.14/square foot of NRA, then
Lessee's Base Rental shall be adjusted upward by the amount of this excess.
(c) Prior to the commencement of each calendar year of Lessee's
occupancy, Lessor shall provide an estimate of Basic Costs for said calendar
year. Lessee shall pay a Base Rental for said calendar year adjusted upward
or downward, as appropriate, by the amount of difference between the prior
calendar year's estimated Basic Costs and the coming year's estimated Basic
Costs.
(d) Within 150 days or as soon thereafter as possible of the
conclusion of each calendar year of the lease term, Lessor shall furnish to
Lessee a statement of Lessor's Basic Costs for said lease year. A lump sum
payment will be made from Lessor to Lessee for from Lessee to Lessor, as
appropriate, within 30 days of the delivery of such statement equal to the
difference in actual Basic Costs and estimated Basic Costs for which payments
have been included in the adjusted Base Rental set forth above for the just
completed year. The effect of this reconciliation payment is that lessee will
pay during the lease term its share of Basic Costs increases over the
original *$6.15/square foot estimate and no more.
*Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Lessee shall only be responsible
for increases in basic costs beyond base year 1989.
(e) All increases in Basic Costs shall be paid by Lessee in the
proportion which Lessee's Net Rentable Area bears to 95% of the total Net
Rentable Area in the Building or to the total Net Rentable Area leased in the
Building (if such total leased is greater than 95% of the total Building NRA).
Nothing contained in this Paragraph 4 shall be construed at any time so to
reduce the monthly installments of Base Rental payable hereunder below the
amount set forth in Article II, Paragraph 3, of this lease.
2
*To the extent expenses outlined herein and incurred for the benefit of
other portions of the Complex in addition to the Office Project then the
Office Project will only be billed its proportionate share of such
expense.
BASIS COSTS DEFINED
5. "Basic Costs" as said term is used herein shall consist of all
operating expenses of the Office Project, which shall be computed on the
accrual basis and shall include all expenditures by Lessor to maintain and

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.
(i) Lessor's central accounting costs applicable to the Office Project.
(j) Any allocation of expenditures for service or operation of the
Complex attributable to the Office Project, determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

other parts of a larger development bounded by Dallas Parkway, Alpha Road,
Xxxx Road, and LBJ Freeway which from time to time are subject to reciprocal
easement arrangements for common use of certain areas in an integrated
mixed-use Complex.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, it is agreed
that in the event the Building is not fully occupied during any year of the
lease term, an adjustment shall be made in computing the Basic Costs for such
year so that the Basic Costs shall be computed for such year as though the
Building had been fully occupied during such year.
3
Lessee at its expense shall have the right at any reasonable time
within twelve months after the end of a year in which additional rental
is due, to retain an independent certified public accountant to audit
Lessor's books and records relating to this Lease for any year or years
for which additional rental payments become due or at Lessor's sole
discretion. Lessor will provide such audit prepared by a certified public
accountant. If Lessee's audit reveals a discrepency by more than 5%, then
Lessor shall bear the full cost of such audit.

are other than building standard. Lessee shall pay the additional cleaning
cost attributable thereto as additional rent. Lessee shall pay said
additional rent upon presentation of a statement therefor by Lessor and

the obligation of Lessee.
(d) All building standard fluorescent bulbs replacement in all areas
and all incandescent bulb replacement in public areas, toilet and restroom
areas and stairwells.

person or property, nor be construed as an eviction of Lessee, nor work an
abatement of rent, nor relieve Lessee from fulfillment of any covenant or
agreement thereof. Should any of the equipment or machinery serving the
Office Project break down, or for any cause cease to function properly,
Lessee shall have no claim for rebate of rent or damages on account of an
interruption in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom. In the
event the Leased premises are rendered untenantable for a period of more than
five (5) business days as a result thereof rent shall be abated during such

and made a part hereof as Schedule II. After receipt of the approved tenant
pricing letter described in said Schedule II, Lessor will partition and
prepare said Leased Premises in accordance therewith; however, Lessor shall
not be required to install any partitions or improvements which are not in
conformity with the plans and specifications for the Building or which are not
approved by Lessor and Lessor's architect. It is stipulated that time is of
the essence in connection with Lessee's compliance with the terms of Schedule
II. The provisions of Schedule II or payments by Lessee to Lessor for failure
to comply with the provisions of Schedule II shall not alter Lessor's right to
treat any such default by Lessee as a complete default under this Lease.

Limitation of Lessor's Personal Liability
9. Lessee specifically agrees to look solely to Lessor's interest in the
Building for the recovery of any judgment from Lessor, it being agreed that
Lessor shall never be personally liable for any such judgment. The provision
contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit
any right that Lessee might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against
Lessor or Lessor's successors in interest, or any other action not involving
the personal liability of Lessor to respond in monetary damages from assets
other than Lessor's interest in the Building or any suit or action in
connection with enforcement or collection of amounts which may become owing or
payable under or on account of insurance maintained by Lessor.
Parking
10. Lessee shall at all times during the term of this Lease lease parking
rights for at least 71 regular/9 executive vehicles in the Parking Garage
located adjacent to the Building. Lessee shall have the right to lease up to
*5 additional parking rights during the lease term at the then prevailing
market rate for parking spaces in the Garage. No specific spaces in the
Parking Garage are to be assigned to Lessee but Lessor will issue to Lessee
the aforesaid number of parking stickers each of which will authorize parking
in the Parking Garage of a vehicle on which the sticker is displayed, or
Lessor will provide a reasonable alternative means of identifying or
controlling vehicles authorized to be parked in the Parking Garage. Lessor may
designate the area within which each such vehicle may be parked, and Lessor
may change such designations from time to time. Lessor may make, modify and
enforce rules and regulations relating to the parking of automobiles in the
Parking Garage, and Lessee will abide by such rules and regulations. Lessor
also reserves the right to increase the size of the Parking Garage.

the term of the lease. The five (5) additional spaces will also be provided at
no charge for the term of the lease.

*$45.00 per month plus any applicable Sales Tax for each of the parking
stickers to be issued by Lessor as herein provided, such sum to be payable
monthly in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during
the lease term, and a pro rata portion of such sum shall be payable for the
first partial calendar month in the event the lease term commences on a date
other
5
than the first day of a calendar month, Lessee's obligation to pay the Parking
Charge shall be considered an obligation to pay rent for all purposes
hereunder and shall be secured in like manner as is Lessee's obligation to pay
rent. Default in payment of such Parking Charge (after notice as hereinafter
provided) shall be deemed a default in payment of rent.
IV.
Lessee covenants and agrees with Lessor:
Payments by Lessee
1. To pay all rent and sums provided to be paid to Lessor hereunder at the
times and in the manner herein provided.
Repairs by Lessor
2. Unless otherwise stipulated herein, Lessor shall not be required to make
any improvements or repairs of any kind or character on the Leased Premises
during the term of this lease, except such repairs as may be required for
normal maintenance operations. The obligation of Lessor to maintain and repair
the Leased Premises shall be limited to building standard items. Special
leasehold improvements will, at Lessee's written request, be maintained by
Lessor at Lessee's costs, plus an additional charge, to cover overhead.
Repairs by Lessee
3. At its own cost and expense, to repair and replace any damage or injury
to the Building, or any part thereof, caused by Lessee or Lessee's agents,
employees, invitees or visitors; provided, however, if Lessee fails to make
such repairs or replacement promptly Lessor may, at its option, make such
repairs or replacements, and Lessee shall repay the cost thereof to the Lessor
on demand, subject to Article V, paragraph 15.
Care of the Lease Premises
4. Not to commit or allow any waste or damage to be committed on any
portion of the Leased Premises, and at the termination of this Lease, by lapse
of time or otherwise, to deliver up said Leased Premises to Lessor in as good
condition as at date of possession by Lessee, ordinary wear and tear excepted,
and upon such termination of this Lease, Lessor shall have the right to
re-enter and resume possession of the Leased Premises.
Assignment or Sublease
5. In the event Lessee should desire to assign this Agreement or sublet the
Leased Premises or any part thereof, Lessee shall give Lessor written notice
of such desire at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date on which
Lessee desires to make such assignment or sublease. Lessor shall then have a
period of fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice within which to
notify Lessee in writing that Lessor elects either (1) to terminate this
agreement as to the space so affected as of the date so specified by Lessee in
which event Lessee will be relieved of all further obligation hereunder as to
such space, or (2) to permit Lessee to assign or sublet such space, subject,
however, to subsequent written approval of the proposed assignee or sublessee
by Lessor which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
provided such sublessee or assign is of character consistent with other
tenants in the building; if however, the rental rate agreed upon between
Lessee and Sublessee is greater than the rental rate that Lessee must pay
Lessor, then such excess rental shall be deemed additional rent owed by Lessee
to Lessor and shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor in the same manner that Lessee
pays the base rent as outlined in Section II, Paragraph 3 (such excess rental
shall be due and payable to Lessor after Lessee has been reimbursed for
reasonable out of pocket expenses and attorney's fees relating to the
assignment or sublease) or (3) to refuse to consent which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided such sublessee or assign is of
character consistent with other tenants in the building (with cause only) to
Lessee's assignment or subleasing such space and to continue this Lease in
full force and effect as to the entire Leased Premises. If Lessor should fail
to notify Lessee in writing of such election within said fifteen (15) period.
Lessor shall be deemed to have elected option (2) above. Excluding the Xxxxx
Group, if Lessor elects to exercise option (2) above, Lessee agrees to provide
at its expense, direct access from such sublet space to a public corridor of
the Building. No assignment or subletting by Lessee shall relieve Lessee of
any obligation under this Lease. Any attempted assignment or sublease by
Lessee in violation of the terms and covenants of this paragraph shall be
void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall be entitled to assign or
sublease this Lease without Lessor's prior written approval to an affiliate or
subsidiary of Arkwright Mutual Insurance Company, provided however, no such
assignment or sublease shall relieve Lessee of any obligation under this Lease.

7
thereto, shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any
such reletting, including, but not limited to, the reasonable cost of

termination of this Lease without the written consent of Lessor, Lessee shall

or if any petition shall be filed by or against Lessee to declare Lessee a
bankrupt or to delay, reduce or modify Lessee's debts or obligations, or if
any petition shall be filed or other action taken to reorganize or modify
Lessee's capital structure if Lessee be a corporation or other entity; or if
Lessee be declared insolvent according to law, or if any assignment of

receiver or trustee is appointed for Lessee or its property, or if Lessee
shall abandon (The Leased Premises shall not be considered as abandoned as
long as rent is being paid.) the Leased Premises during the term of this
Lease or any renewals or extensions thereof, then Lessor 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 Lessee shall constitute a breach of this Lease if Lessee 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 Lessor's option, 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:
or five (5) days after receipt of written notice by Lessee, such notice being
delivered by Lessor on the eleventh (11th) day after rent is not received,
and such notice shall not be required of Lessor more than twice per annum
(a) Lessor may terminate this Lease and forthwith repossess the
Leased Premises and be entitled to recover forthwith as damages a sum of
money equal to the total of (i) the cost of recovering the Leased Premises,
(ii) the unpaid rent earned at the time of termination, plus interest thereon
at the
8
maximum lawful rate per annum from the due date, (iii) the balance of the
rent for the remainder of the term less the fair market rental value of the
Leased Premises for said period and (iv) any other sum of money and damages
owed by Lessee to Lessor.
(b) Lessor may terminate Lessee'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 Lessee and without
terminating this Lease, in which event Lessor may but shall be under no
obligation to do so, relet the same for the account of Lessee for such rent
and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Lessor. For the purpose of
such reletting Lessor is authorized to decorate or to make any repairs,
changes, alterations or additions in or to Leased Premises that may be
necessary or convenient, and (i) if Lessor shall fail or refuse to relet the
Leased Premises, or (ii) if the same are relet and a sufficient sum shall not
be realized from such reletting after paying the unpaid basic and additional
rent due hereunder earned but unpaid at the time of reletting plus ten per
cent per annum thereon, the cost of recovering possession, and all of the
costs and expenses of such decorations, repairs, changes, alterations and
additions and the expense 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 Lessee shall pay to Lessor 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 have been relet, the Lessee shall satisfy and pay any such
deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time and Lessee agrees that
Lessor may file suit to recover any sums falling due under the terms of this
Article V, Paragraph 9(b) from time to time; and that no delivery to or
recovery of any portion due Lessor hereunder shall be any defense in any
action to recover any amount not therefore reduced to judgment in favor of
Lessor, nor shall such reletting be construed as an election on the part of
Lessor to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be
given by Lessor to Lessee. Notwithstanding any such reletting without
termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease
for such previous breach.
NON-WAIVER
10. Failure of Lessor to declare any default immediately upon
occurrence thereof, or delay in taking action in connection therewith, shall
not waive such default, but Lessor 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. Lessor agrees to disclose to Lessee
within sixty (60) days any default after it comes to Lessor's attention.

11. Lessor shall maintain fire and extended coverage insurance on the
portion of the Building constructed by Lessor, including additions and
improvements by Lessee which are required to be made by Lessee by this Lease

insurance company authorized to do business in Texas, in amounts and with
deductibles desired by Lessor and at the expense of Lessor and payments for

property, including removable trade fixtures, located in the Leased Premises
and on all additions and improvements made by Lessee and not required to be
insured by Lessor above. If the annual premiums to be paid by Lessor shall
exceed the standard rates because Lessee's operations, contents of the Leased
Premises, or improvements with respect to the Leased Premises beyond building
standard, result in extra hazardous exposure, Lessee shall promptly pay the
excess amount of the premium upon request by Lessor.
LIABILITY INSURANCE
12. Lessor shall, at its expense, maintain a policy or policies of
comprehensive general liability insurance with the premiums thereon fully
paid on or before due date, issued by and binding upon some solvent insurance
company, such insurance to afford minimum protection of not less than Three
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000,000) in respect of personal injury or
death in respect to any one occurrence, and of not less than One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000,000) for property damage in any one occurrence.
HOLD HARMLESS
13. Lessee shall not be liable to Lessor, or to Lessor's agents,
servants, employees, customers or invitees for any damage to person or
property caused by any act, omission or neglect of Lessor, its servants or
employees, and Lessor agrees to indemnify and hold Lessee harmless from all
claims for such damage. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee, or to Lessee's
agents, servants, employees, customers or invitees for any damage to person or
property caused by any act, omission or neglect of Lessee, its agents,
servants or employees, and Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless
from all liability and claims for any such damage.
9
WAIVER OF SUBROGATION RIGHTS
14. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessor and
Lessee each hereby 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 premises hereby demised, 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 could be
insured against under the terms of standard fire and extended coverage
insurance policies referred to in Article V, Paragraph II, hereof, regardless
of cause or origin including negligence of the other party hereto, its
agents, officers or employees, and covenants that no insurer shall hold any
right of subrogation against such other party. This waiver of subrogation
provision shall be effective to the full extent, but only to the extent, that
the same does not impair the effectiveness of insurance policies of Lessor
and Lessee.
NOTICE
15. All notices, demands, consents and approvals which may or are
required to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in

ADDENDUM TO LEASE AGREEMENT
1. Lessee shall pay at lease signing the first four month's rent in the
amount of $29,527.08.
2. Reference Section II, page 2, paragraph 3 of the Lease Agreement. Annual
Base Rental shall be as follows:
Months 1 - 8 $ 3.96 per square foot of NRA
Months 9 - 20 9.50 per square foot of NRA
Months 21 - 36 16.00 per square foot of NRA
Years 4 - 7 17.00 per square foot of NRA
Years 8 - 10 18.00 per square foot of NRA
3. Lessee shall be granted a $2.00 per square foot of NRA moving allowance,
payable within thirty (30) days following occupancy by Lessee.
4. Lessee shall be granted a $15.00 per square foot of NRA construction
allowance (the "Construction Allowance") for demolition and buildout.
In the event such demolition and buildout costs exceed the Construction
Allowance (the "Excess Costs") such Excess Costs, not to exceed $5.00
per square foot of NRA, shall be paid by Lessee as additional Base
Rental to yield a fully amortized 10% (ten percent) return to the Lessor
on the Excess Costs from the 21st through the 120th month of the Lease
term. If the Construction Allowance is not completely utilized in
demolition and buildout, any remaining monies ("Savings") will be
applied as a Base Rental reduction based on a 10% discount rate from the
21st through the 120th month of the Lease term. Such increase or
decrease (as the case may be) in Base Rental shall be calculated as
follows (the "Base Rental Adjustment Formula"): For each $1.00 per
square foot of NRA of Excess Costs or Savings, as the case may be, the
Base Rental rate shall be increased or decreased by $.21 per square foot
of NRA per year from the 21st through the 120th month of the Lease term.
Such increase or decrease in the Base Rental rate shall be proportional
to the ratio of the Excess Costs or Savings, as the case may be, per
square foot of NRA to $1.00 per square foot of NRA.

under this lease, Lessee is hereby granted the option to renew the term
of this Lease for a period of five (5) additional years ("Renewal
Term"), to commence at the expiration of the term of this Lease. Lessee
shall exercise its option to renew by delivering written notice of such
election to Lessor at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration of
the term of this Lease. The renewal of this Lease shall be upon the
same terms and conditions of this Lease, except (a) the Base Rental and
Parking Charge during the Renewal Term shall be at the prevailing market
Base
2
Rental and Parking Charge (similarly defined) at the time the Renewal
Term commences. However, in no event shall such Base Rental be less
than Lessee's Base Rental plus all increases for Base Rental Adjustments
in effect for the calendar year in which the Renewal Term commences; (b)
Lessee shall have no option to renew this Lease beyond the expiration of
the Renewal Term; (c) Lessee shall not have the right to assign its
renewal rights to any sublessee of the Leased Premises or assignee of
the Lease, excepting any subsidiary or associate company; and (d) the
leasehold improvements will be provided in their then existing condition
(on an "as is" basis) at the time the Renewal Term commences. Although
not required, if Lessor and Lessee mutually agree on a finish out
allowance, such allowance will be amortized over the renewal term at
twelve percent (12%) interest.
6. Lessee shall have the right to submit three construction bids from
contractors previously approved by Lessor in addition to the bids
received by Lessor. If Lessee's contractor has the lowest responsible
bid; Lessee shall be allowed to use that contractor, provided such
contractor uses Lessor's required subcontractors for the electrical,
mechanical and plumbing work. Lessor's subcontractors for said
electrical, mechanical and plumbing work must have submitted a bid
within 7% of Lessee's most competitive bid.
7. Lessee shall be granted a $1.75 per square foot of NRA space planning
allowance for the initial 22,369 square feet payable upon receipt of
invoice from Lessee. Any unused monies shall be credited toward Base
Rental over the term of the Lease in accordance with the Base Rental
Adjustment Formula for Savings.
8. Lessor shall pay the initiation costs only for seven (7) Fitness
memberships to the University Club.
9. Lessor shall complete a construction "punch list" within ten (10) days
of Lessee's occupancy of the Lease Premised. Lessor agrees to use
reasonable efforts to complete all work outlined on said punch list
within thirty (30) days after completion of the punch list, provided
there are no change orders requested by Lessee which would cause delays
beyond the 30 days.
10. As long as Lessee is not in default in the performance of its covenants
under this Lease, Lessee shall have a one time option to terminate this
Lease (the "Termination Option") effective as of the expiration of the
sixtieth (60th) calendar month of the term of this Lease, provided
Lessee notifies Lessor in writing on or before the expiration of the
fifty first (51st) calendar month of the term of this Lease of such
intent and such notice is accompanied by a cashier's or certified check
made payable to Lessor in the amount of the Termination Payment
(hereinafter defined). As used herein, the term "Termination Payment"
means the sum of $475,000.00 with respect to the original 22,369 square
feet of NRA of the Leased Premises; provided, however, (i) in the event
the Leased Premises, at the time of the exercise of the Termination
3
Option, exceeds 22,369 square feet of NRA, the Termination Payment shall
be increased by a sum equal to Lessor's unamortized Lease Costs
(hereinafter defined) for such additional NRA. As used herein, the term
"Lease Costs" mean all costs incurred by Lessor in connection with such
additional NRA, including without limitation, all finishout costs and
lease commissions (both external and internal) plus 12% (twelve percent)
per annum self amortizing return from date of expenditure through the
original expiration date of this Lease on such costs; and (ii) in the
event the Base Rental, at the time of the exercise of the Termination
Option, has been adjusted by the Base Rental Adjustment Formula pursuant
to paragraph 4 or 7 of this Addendum, the Termination Payment shall be
adjusted by a sum equal to the unamortized Excess Costs or Savings, as
the case may be based on a 10% return to the Lessor.
11. If Lessee does not exercise the Termination Option at the end of the
fifty first (51st) month of occupancy as set out above, Lessee shall be
granted an additional $55,922.50 refurbishment allowance upon written
request to Lessor.
12. Lessor hereby grants Lessee an ongoing "Right of First Refusal", on all
or part of the 20th floor of Two Galleria Tower as outlined on attached
Exhibit C (approximately 22,248 square feet of net rentable area) which
shall be available August 1, 1991, subject to Southland Corporation NOT
exercising its renewal option. If Southland Corporation's lease
agreement terminates for any reason prior to August 1, 1991, the Right
of First Refusal space shall become available as of such termination or
November 1, 1990, whichever is later, but in no event shall the space be
available prior to November 1, 1990 to any other tenant. Lessee is also
granted ongoing Rights of First Refusal on approximately 2,500 square
feet of NRA on the 4th floor (Exhibit D) and 4,335 square feet of NRA on
the 5th floor (Exhibit E) which are currently vacant. Provided Lessee is
not in default, Lessee may exercise the Right of First Refusal upon the
following terms:
a. The lease term for such Right of First Refusal area shall be
coterminous with the expiration date of this Lease Agreement.
b. After written notification from Lessor to Lessee that Lessor has
another lessee desirous of leasing said space, Lessee shall have
seven (7) days or five (5) working days after receipt from an
overnight carrier, whichever is greater, to exercise its Right of
First Refusal by giving written notice to Lessor of its intent to
exercise said option.
c. The Base Rental for the Right of First Refusal space leased by
Lessee shall be at the same Base Rental then in effect per the
schedule outlined in paragraph 2 of this Addendum plus all Base
Rental Adjustments in effect pursuant to the Lease if exercised
before the 61st month of the lease term. Thereafter, the Base
Rental shall be at the then prevailing market rate, but in no event
shall such Base Rental be less than Lessee's Base Rental per the
schedule outlined in
4
paragraph 2 of this Addendum plus all Base Rental Adjustments In
effect pursuant to this Lease.
d. In the event Lessee exercises a Right of First Refusal pursuant to
the terms hereof, Lessee shall be granted a $15.00 per square foot
of NRA improvement allowance if additional space is leased within
the first 3 years of Lessee's lease term and $12.00 per square foot
of NRA if exercised during years 4 and 5 of the lease term. Right
of First Refusal space shall be taken on an "as is" basis anytime
thereafter. Although not required, if Lessor and Lessee mutually
agree on a finish out allowance after year 5 of the lease term,
such allowance will be amortized over the remaining lease term at
twelve percent (12%) interest.
Any additional improvement dollars expended by Lessor on Right of
First Refusal space during the first five years of lease term shall
be paid by Lessee as additional Base Rental by fully amortizing the
additional costs at 12% over the original lease term.
x. Xxxxxx shall not be liable for failure to give possession of said
Right of First Refusal Space by reason of the holding over or
retention of possession of any previous lessee, lessees or
occupants of same, nor shall such failure impair the validity of
this Lease, nor extend the term hereof, but the rent for such Right
of First Refusal Space shall be abated until possession thereof is
delivered to Lessee. However, Lessor does covenant that it will
use reasonable diligence to deliver possession of such Right of
First Refusal Space to Lessee in a timely manner.
f. Each ongoing Right of First Refusal shall terminate when said lease
premises are leased to another lessee or upon the termination of
Lessee's Lease Agreement, whichever occurs first.
g. The Right of First Refusal shall apply only to each Right of First
Refusal space in its entirety as offered to another potential
lessee, and not to any lesser portion thereof unless Lessor is
willing to lease a lesser portion thereof to such other lessee, in
which event the Right of First Refusal shall apply to such lesser
portion.
h. Lessee shall be granted free parking at the ratio of 1 space per
280 square feet of NRA for the Right of First Refusal space if such
space is taken during the first five (5) years of the lease term.
Anytime after the fifth year of occupancy, parking shall be
provided at the then prevailing market rate at the same ratio as
stated above.
13. Lessor agrees that it will not extend a sublessee of Southland
Corporation which may occupy said 20th floor lease premises beyond
August 1, 1991. However, if Southland Corporation
5
chooses to renew its lease term under renewal rights presently contained
in their lease for its own occupancy or that of one of its subsidiaries
or sublessees, Lessor must honor the renewal.
14. (Reference Section IV, page 7, paragraph 11.) Lessor warrants and
represents to Lessee that as of the date hereof, the Building is not
subject to any lien or encumbrance except: (1) lien for taxes not yet
due and payable and (2) easements not containing any power of sale or
right of foreclosure. This Lease shall automatically become subject and
subordinate to any first lien mortgage or deed of trust ("Lessor's
Mortgage") which may hereafter encumber the Building of which the Leased
Premises form a part and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements and extensions thereof provided that Lessor and the
mortgagee or lender ("Lessor's Mortgagee") shall have executed and
delivered to tenant a Recognition, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessee. Such
agreement at a minimum shall provide that notwithstanding any
enforcement by the trustee or the beneficiary under Lessor's Mortgage,
that Lessee's occupancy of the Lease Premises shall not be disturbed so
long as Lessee is not in default under this Lease. In the event of the
enforcement by the trustee or Lessor's Mortgagee, the successor in
interest shall not be bound by (i) any payment of rent or additional
rent for more than one month in advance except prepayments in the nature
of security for the performance by Lessee of its obligations under this
lease, (ii) such other unperformed obligations of Lessor only requiring
Lessor to pay Lessee a sum of money (for example, return of an
overcharge of additional rent), or (iii) any amendment or modification
of this Lease made (a) after the date Lessee is informed in writing of
the name and address of Lessor's Mortgagee, and (b) without the written
consent of such trustee or such beneficiary or such successor in
interest. However, Lessor's Mortgagee shall be responsible for
non-monetary obligations (i.e. maintenance) of Lessor yet to be
performed by Lessor at the time Mortgagee enforces its right under the
mortgage or deed of trust.
