 [Complete the amount of the first Base Rent payment to be due, as well as estimated amounts of any other monthly payments that start at the beginning of the Term of this Lease. Put NIA or strike through the rest. Any estimated amounts are subject to adjustment pursuant to other provisions of this Lease. If any expense payments are not due at the beginning of the Term, they may begin later in the Term pursuant to other provisions of this Lease.]
  
 F.Expense Reimbursement Payments. Tenant agrees to pay any end-of-year lump sum Expense Reimbursement within 30 days after receiving an invoice from Landlord. Any time during the Term, Landlord may direct Tenant to pay monthly an estimated portion of the projected future Expense Reimbursement amount. Any such payment directed by Landlord will be due and payable monthly on the same day that the Base Rent is due. Landlord may, at Landlord's option and to the extent allowed by applicable law, impose a Late Charge on any Expense Reimbursement payments that are not actually received by Landlord on or before the due date, in the amount and manner set forth in Section 3.03 of this Lease. Any Expense Reimbursements relating to partial calendar years will be prorated accordingly. If Tenant's Pro Rata Share is not expressed in Section 1.04.E of this Lease, then Tenant's Pro Rata Share of such Expense Reimbursements will be based on the square footage of useable area contained in the Premises in proportion to the square footage of useable building area of the Property. Tenant may audit or examine those items of expense in Landlord's records that relate to Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant any overpayment that is established by an audit or examination. If the audit or examination reveals an error of more than 5% over the figures billed to Tenant, Landlord shall pay the reasonable cost of the audit or examination. 
  
 G.☐ Gross-Up Provisions. [Check this only if applicable.] If the Property is a multi-tenant building and is not fully occupied during the Base Year or any portion of the Term, an adjustment will be made in computing the variable costs for the Base Year and each applicable calendar year of the Term. Variable costs will include only those items of expense that vary directly proportionately to the occupancy of the Property. Variable costs that are included in the CAM Expenses, Operating Expenses and Utilities will be increased proportionately to the amounts that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, would have been incurred had 95% of the useable area of the Property been occupied during those years.

 ARTICLE TWO
  
 LEASE AND TERM
  
 2.01Lease of Premises for Term. Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Premises from Landlord for the Term stated in Section 1.05. The Commencement Date is the date specified in Section 1.05, unless advanced or delayed under any provision of this Lease. 
  
 2.02Delays in Commencement. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant if Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date specified in Section 1.05 above. Landlord's non-delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date will not affect this Lease or the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. However, the Commencement Date will be delayed until possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant. The Term will be extended for a period equal to the delay in delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant, plus the number of days necessary for the Term to expire on the last day of a month. If Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant within 60 days after the Commencement Date specified in Section 1.05. Tenant may cancel this Lease by giving a written notice to Landlord at any time after the 60-day period ends, but before Landlord actually delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. If Tenant gives such notice, this Lease will be canceled effective as of the date of its execution, any prepaid amounts will be reimbursed to Tenant, and no party will have any rights or obligations under this Lease. If Tenant does not give such notice within the time specified, Tenant will have no right to cancel this Lease, and the Term will commence upon the delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. If delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant is delayed, Landlord and Tenant shall, upon such delivery, execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the revised Commencement Date and Expiration Date of the Term. 
  
 2.03Early Occupancy. If Tenant occupies the Premises before the Commencement Date, Tenant's occupancy of the Premises will be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease. Early occupancy of the Premises will not advance the Expiration Date. Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall pay Base Rent and all other charges specified in this Lease for the period of occupancy. 
  
 2.04Holding Over. Tenant shall vacate the Premises immediately upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for and indemnify Landlord against all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of any delay by Tenant in vacating the Premises. If Tenant does not vacate the Premises upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant's occupancy of the Premises will be a day-to-day tenancy, subject to all of the terms of this Lease, except that the Base Rent during the holdover period will be increased to an amount that is one-and-one-half (11⁄2) times the Base Rent in effect on the expiration or termination of this Lease, computed on a daily basis for each day of the holdover period, plus all additional sums due under this Lease. This Section will not be construed as Landlord's consent for Tenant to hold over or to extend this Lease. 
 
 COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 8
 
  
 
 ARTICLE THREE
  
 RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT
  
 3.01Manner of Payment. Tenant shall pay the Rent to Landlord at the address set forth in Section 1.02, unless another person is designated in Section 1.11, or to any other party or address Landlord may designate in any written notice delivered to Tenant. Landlord may designate, in a written notice delivered to Tenant, the party authorized to receive Rent and act on behalf of Landlord to enforce this Lease. Any such authorization will remain in effect until it is revoked by Landlord in a subsequent written notice delivered to Tenant. Any payments made to a third party designated by Landlord will be deemed made to Landlord when received by the designated third party. All sums payable by Tenant under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as Rent, will constitute rent for the purposes of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code and for all other purposes. 
  
 3.02Time of Payment. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay the installment of Base Rent for the first month of the Term for which Base Rent is due (which may be later than the first month of the Term, if there is a free rent period). On or before the first day of the next month and each month thereafter, the installment of Base Rent and other sums due under this Lease will be due and payable, in advance, without off-set, deduction or prior demand. Tenant shall cause payments to be properly mailed or otherwise delivered so as to be actually received (and not merely deposited in the mail) by Landlord (or the party identified in Section 1 11, or any other third party designated by Landlord) on or before the due date. If the Term commences or ends on a day other than the first or last day of a calendar month, the rent for any partial calendar month following the Commencement Date or preceding the end of the Term will be prorated. Tenant shall pay any such prorated portion for a partial calendar month at the beginning of the Term on the Commencement Date. Tenant shall pay any such prorated portion for a partial calendar month at the end of the Term on the first day of that calendar month. 
  
 3.03Late Charges. Tenant's failure to promptly pay sums due under this Lease may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount of those costs is impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. The costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease or deed of trust encumbering the Premises. Payments due to Landlord under this Lease are not an extension of credit. Therefore, if any payment under this Lease is not actually received on or before the due date (and not merely deposited in the mail), Landlord may, at Landlord's option and to the extent allowed by applicable law, impose a Late Charge on any late payments in an amount equal to 10% of the amount of the past due payment (the "Late Charge") after the payment is more than five days past due. A Late Charge may be imposed only once on each past due payment. Any Late Charge will be in addition to Landlord's other remedies for nonpayment of Rent. If any check tendered by Tenant under this Lease is dishonored for any reason, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a dishonored check fee of $30.00, plus (at Landlord's option) a Late Charge as provided above until Good Funds (defined below) are received by Landlord. The parties agree that any Late Charge and dishonored check fee represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment or dishonored check. If there are any Late Charges, dishonored check fees, installments of Base Rent, and any other unpaid charges or reimbursements due to Landlord, then Landlord may apply any payments received from Tenant to any amounts due in any order Landlord may choose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will not impose a Late Charge as to the first late payment in any calendar year, unless Tenant fails to pay the late payment to Landlord within three business days after the delivery of a written notice from Landlord to Tenant demanding the late payment be paid. However, Landlord may impose a Late Charge without advance notice to Tenant on any subsequent late payment in the same calendar year. 
  
 3.04Security Deposit. Upon execution of this Lease, in addition to the installment of Base Rent due under Section 3.02 and in addition to any other amounts that are due from Tenant upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a Security Deposit in the amount stated in Section 1.08. Landlord may apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid Rent, and damages and charges for which Tenant is legally liable under this Lease, and damages and charges that result from a breach of this Lease, including but not limited to, the cost to cure Tenant's failure to comply with Section 7.05 and any other provision that requires Tenant to leave the Premises in a certain condition upon the expiration or termination of this Lease. If Landlord uses any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall restore the Security Deposit to its full amount within 10 days after Landlord's written demand. Tenant's failure to restore the full amount of the Security Deposit within the time specified will be a default under this Lease.  
 
 COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 9
 
  
No interest will be paid on the Security Deposit. Landlord will not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts, and no trust relationship is created with respect to the Security Deposit. After the expiration of this Lease, Landlord shall refund the unused portion of the Security Deposit, if any, to Tenant within 60 days after the date Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises and provides a written notice to Landlord of Tenant's forwarding address for the purpose of refunding the Security Deposit. The provisions of this Section will survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
  
 3.05Good Funds Payments. If any two or more payments by check from Tenant to Landlord for Rent are dishonored and returned unpaid, thereafter Landlord may, at Landlord's option, by the delivery of a written notice to Tenant, require that all future payments of Rent for the remaining Term of this Lease must be made by cash, certified check, cashier's check, official bank check, money order, wire transfer or automatic electronic funds transfer ("Good Funds"), and that the delivery of Tenant's personal or corporate check will no longer constitute payment of Rent under this Lease. Any acceptance by Landlord of a payment for Rent by Tenant's personal or corporate check thereafter will not be construed as a waiver of Landlord's right to insist upon payment by Good Funds as set forth in this Section. 
  
 ARTICLE FOUR
  
 TAXES
  
 4.01Payment by Landlord. Landlord shall pay the real estate taxes on the Premises during the Term, subject to reimbursement by Tenant pursuant to any other provision in this Lease. 
  
 4.02Improvements by Tenant. If the real estate taxes levied against the Premises for the year in which the Term commences are increased as a result of any additions or improvements made by Tenant, or by Landlord at Tenant's request, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the amount of the increase and continue to pay the increase during the Term. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from the tax assessor a written statement of the amount of the increase due to such additions or improvements. 
  
 4.03Joint Assessment. If the real estate taxes are assessed against the Premises jointly with other property that is not part of the Premises, the real estate taxes applicable to the Premises will be equal to the amount bearing the same proportion to the aggregate assessment that the total square feet of building area in the Premises bears to the total square feet of building area included in the joint assessment. If there are no improvements on the Property or the other property, then land area will be used instead of building area for the calculation of the proportional assessment. If there are improvements on one of the jointly assessed properties but not on the other property, then the calculation of the proportional assessment must be done in a reasonable manner. 
  
 4.04Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay all taxes assessed against trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, inventory, products, or any other personal property belonging to Tenant. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to have Tenant's property taxed separately from the Premises. If any of Tenant's property is taxed with the Premises, Tenant shall pay the taxes for Tenant's property to Landlord within 15 days after Tenant receives a written statement from Landlord for the property taxes. 
  
 4.05Waiver of Right to Protest Taxes. Unless otherwise provided in this Lease: (i) Landlord retains the right to protest the tax assessment of the Property, and Tenant waives the right to protest; and (ii) Tenant waives Landlord's obligation to provide Tenant with a notice of the tax valuation of the Property. 
  
 ARTICLE FIVE
  
 INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY
  
 5.01Property Insurance. During the Term, Landlord shall maintain insurance policies covering damage to the Premises in an amount or percentage of replacement value as Landlord deems reasonable in relation to the age, location, type of construction and physical condition of the Premises and the availability of insurance at reasonable rates. The policies will provide protection against risks and causes of loss that Landlord reasonably deems necessary. Landlord may, at Landlord's option, obtain insurance coverage for Tenant's fixtures, equipment and improvements in or on the Premises. Promptly after the receipt of a written request from Tenant, Landlord shall provide a certificate of insurance showing the insurance coverage then in  
 
 COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 10
 
  
effect. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, obtain and maintain insurance on Tenant's fixtures, equipment and improvements in or on the Premises as Tenant reasonably deems necessary to protect Tenant's interest. Any property insurance carried by Landlord or Tenant will be for the sole benefit of the party carrying the insurance and under its sole control.
  
 5.02Increases in Premiums. Tenant shall not conduct or permit any operation or activity, or store or use any materials, in or around the Premises that would cause suspension or cancellation of any insurance policy carried by Landlord. If Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises causes Landlord's insurance premiums to increase, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional Rent, the amount of the increase within 10 days after Landlord delivers written evidence of the increase to Tenant. 
  
 5.03Liability Insurance. During the Term, Tenant shall maintain a commercial general liability insurance policy, at Tenant's expense, insuring Tenant against liability arising out of the use or occupancy of the Premises, and naming Landlord as an additional insured. The initial amounts of the insurance must be at least $1,000,000 or, if the following blank is completed $____________________ for Each Occurrence, $2,000,000 or, if the following blank is completed $_______________________ General Aggregate per policy year, and $10,000 for Medical Expense. If Tenant's liability insurance coverage is less than $5,000,000, and if this box ☐ is checked, then Tenant must also maintain a commercial liability umbrella policy in amount to provide a combination of liability insurance coverage to equal a $5,000,000 total limit. The coverage amounts will be subject to periodic increases as Landlord may reasonably determine from time to time. The amounts of the insurance will not limit Tenant's liability or relieve Tenant of any obligation under this Lease. The policies must contain cross-liability endorsements and must insure Tenant's performance of the indemnity provisions of Section 5 04. The policies must contain a provision that prohibits cancellation or modification of the policy except upon 30 days' prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall deliver a copy of the policy or certificate of insurance to Landlord before the Commencement Date and before the expiration of the policy during the Term. If Tenant fails to maintain the policy, Landlord may elect to maintain the insurance at Tenant's expense. 
  
 5.04Indemnity. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant or to Tenant's employees, agents, invitees or visitors, or to any other person, for any injury to persons or damage to property on or about the Premises or any adjacent area owned by Landlord caused by the negligence or misconduct of Tenant, Tenant's employees, subtenants, agents, licensees or concessionaires or any other person entering the Premises under express or implied invitation of Tenant, or arising out of the use of the Premises by Tenant and the conduct of Tenant's business, or arising out of any breach or default by Tenant in the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any loss, expense or claims arising out of such damage or injury. Tenant will not be liable for any injury or damage caused by the negligence or misconduct of Landlord, or Landlord's employees or agents, and Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from any loss, expense or damage arising out of such damage or injury. 
  
 5.05Waiver of Subrogation. Each party to this Lease waives any and every claim that arises or may arise in its favor against the other party during the Term of this Lease for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of its property located within or upon, or constituting a part of, the Premises, to the extent the loss or damage is covered by and recoverable under valid and collectible insurance policies. These mutual waivers are in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any other waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect to any loss of, or damage to, property of the parties. Inasmuch as these mutual waivers will preclude the assignment of any such claim by way of subrogation to an insurance company (or any other person), each party agrees to immediately give to each insurance company that has issued an insurance policy to such party written notice of the terms of such mutual waivers, and to cause the policies to be endorsed to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage by reason of these waivers.

 USE OF PREMISES
  
 6.01Permitted Use. Tenant may use the Premises only for the Permitted Use stated in Section 1,10. Tenant acknowledges that: (i) the current use of the Premises or the improvements located on the Premises, or both, may not conform to city ordinances or restrictive covenants with respect to the permitted use, zoning, height limitations, setback requirements, minimum parking requirements, coverage ratio of improvements to land area, and other matters that may have a significant impact upon the Tenant's intended use of the Premises; (ii) Tenant has independently investigated and verified to Tenant's satisfaction the extent of any limitations or non-conforming uses of the Premises; and (iii) Tenant is not relying upon any representations of Landlord or the Brokers with respect to any such matters. 
  
 6.02Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall comply with all governmental laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to the use of the Premises, and will promptly comply with all governmental orders and directives for the correction, prevention and abatement of nuisances and other activities in or upon, or connected with the Premises, all at Tenant's sole expense, including any expense or cost resulting from the construction or installation of fixtures and improvements or other accommodations for handicapped or disabled persons required for compliance with governmental laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Texas Architectural Barriers Act (the “TABA") and the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”). To the extent any alterations to the Premises are required by the TABA, the ADA or other applicable laws or regulations, Tenant shall bear the expense of the alterations. To the extent any alterations to areas of the Property outside the Premises are required by the TABA, the ADA or other applicable laws or regulations (for "path of travel" requirements or otherwise), Landlord shall bear the expense of the alterations. 
  
 6.03Certificate of Occupancy. If required, Tenant shall apply for Certificate of Occupancy from the municipality in which the Property is located before the Commencement Date, and obtain a Certificate of Occupancy before Tenant occupies the Premises. If Tenant is unable to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy after making an application and diligently pursuing it, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering a written notice to Landlord, unless either Landlord or Tenant is willing and able to cure the defects that prevented the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy. Either Landlord or Tenant may cure any such defects, at their own expense, including any repairs, replacements, or installations of any items that are not presently existing on the Premises, but neither of them have any obligation to do so (unless another provision of this Lease states otherwise). If Tenant delivers a written termination notice to Landlord under this Section, and then any defects are cured and a Certificate of Occupancy is issued within 15 days after Tenant delivered the notice, then this Lease will remain in force. If this Lease is terminated because Landlord and Tenant cannot get a Certificate of Occupancy, then Landlord will return to Tenant any prepaid rent and any Security Deposit, and the parties will have no further obligations under this Lease. References in this Lease to a "Certificate of Occupancy" mean a Certificate of Occupancy sufficient to allow the Tenant to occupy the Premises for the Permitted Use. 
  
 6.04Signs. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant may not place any signs, ornaments or other objects on the Premises or the Property, including but not limited to the roof or exterior of the building or other improvements on the Property, or paint or otherwise decorate or deface the exterior of the building or other improvements on the Property. Any signs installed by Tenant must conform to applicable laws, deed restrictions, and other applicable requirements. Tenant must remove all signs, decorations and ornaments at the expiration or termination of this Lease, and must repair any damage and close any holes caused by installation or removal. 
  
 6.05Utility Services. Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall pay the cost of all Utilities used for the Premises, and the cost of replacing light bulbs and tubes. Unless otherwise required by law, Landlord is the party entitled to designate utility and telecommunication service providers to the Property and the Premises. Landlord may, at Landlord's option, allow Tenant to select the provider. If Tenant selects the provider, any access or alterations to the Property or the Premises necessary for the Utilities may be made only with Landlord's prior consent, which Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay. If Landlord incurs any utility or connection charges that Tenant is responsible to pay and Landlord pays the charges, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating the amount of the charges. 
 
 COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 12
 
  
 
 6.06Landlord's Access. Landlord and Landlord's agents will have the right to, upon reasonable advance notice, and without unreasonably interfering with Tenant's business, enter the Premises: (a) to inspect the general condition and state of repair of the Premises, (b) to make repairs required or permitted under this Lease, (c) to show the Premises or the Property to any prospective tenant or purchaser, and (d) for any other reasonable purpose. If Tenant changes the locks on the Premises, Tenant must provide Landlord with a copy of each separate key upon Landlord's request. During the last 150 days of the Term, Landlord and Landlord's agents may erect signs on or about the Premises advertising the Premises for lease or for sale. 
  
 6.07Possession. If Tenant pays the Rent, properly maintains the Premises, and complies with all other terms of this Lease, Tenant may occupy and enjoy the Premises for the full Term, subject to the provisions of this Lease. 
  
 6.08Exemptions from Liability. Landlord will not be liable for any damage to the business (including any loss of income), goods, inventory, furnishings, fixtures, equipment, merchandise or other property of Tenant, Tenant's employees, invitees or customers, or for any injury to Tenant or Tenant's employees, invitees, customers or any other person in or about the Premises, whether the damage or injury is caused by or results from: (a) fire, steam, electricity, water, gas or wind; (b) the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures or any other cause; (c) conditions arising on or about the Premises or other portions of the Property, or from other sources or places; or (d) any act or omission of any other occupant of the Property. The provisions of this Section will not, however, exempt Landlord from liability for Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 7.02Acceptance of Premises. Tenant has inspected, or has had an opportunity to inspect, the Premises, before the execution of this Lease.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Tenant waives any implied warranties of Landlord as to the quality or condition of the Premises or the Property, or as to the fitness or suitability of the Premises or the Property for any particular use. 
  
 7.03Maintenance and Repairs. Landlord will not be required to perform any maintenance or repairs, or management services, in the Premises, except as otherwise provided in this Lease.

 A.Landlord's Obligations. 
  
 (1) Subject to the provisions of Article Eight (Damage or Destruction) and Article Nine (Condemnation) and except for damage caused by any act or omission of Tenant, Landlord shall keep the roof, skylights, foundation, structural components and the structural portions of exterior walls of the Premises in good order, condition and repair. Landlord will not be obligated to maintain or repair windows, doors, overhead doors, plate glass or the surfaces of walls. In addition, Landlord will not be obligated to make any repairs under this Section until a reasonable time after receipt of written notice from Tenant of the need for repairs. If any repairs are required to be made by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, promptly remove Tenant's furnishings, fixtures, inventory, equipment and other property, to the extent required to enable Landlord to make repairs. Landlord's liability under this Section will be limited to the cost of those repairs or corrections. Tenant waives the benefit of any present or future law that might give Tenant the right to repair the Premises at Landlord's expense or to terminate this Lease because of the condition.
  
 (2)                       All repairs, maintenance, management and other services to be performed by Landlord or Landlord's agents involve the exercise of professional judgment by service providers, and Tenant expressly waives any claims against Landlord for breach of warranty arising from the performance of those services. 
  
 B.Tenant's Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7,01, Section 7,03A, Article Eight (Damage or Destruction) and Article Nine (Condemnation), Tenant shall, at all times, keep all other portions of the Premises in good order, condition and repair (except for normal wear and tear), including, but not limited to, maintenance, repairs and all necessary replacements of the windows, plate glass, doors, overhead doors, HVAC equipment, electrical and lighting systems, fire protection sprinkler system, dock levelers, elevators, interior and exterior plumbing, the interior and exterior of the Premises in general, pest control and extermination, down spouts, gutters, paving, railroad siding, care of landscaping and regular mowing of grass. In addition, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, repair any damage to any portion of the Property, including the roof, skylights, foundation, or structural components and exterior walls of the Premises, caused by Tenant's acts or omissions. If Tenant fails to maintain and repair the Property as required by this Section, Landlord may, on 10 days' prior written notice, enter the Premises and perform the maintenance or repair on behalf of Tenant, except that no notice is required in case of emergency, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord immediately upon demand for all costs incurred in performing the maintenance or repair, plus a reasonable service charge. 
  
 C.HVAC Service. This Section pertains to the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning ("HVAC") systems and equipment that service the Premises. [Check one box only.] 
  
 ☐(1) Landlord is obligated to provide the HVAC services to the Premises only during the operating hours of the Property (as described below). 
  
 ☐(2) Landlord will provide the HVAC services to the Premises during the operating hours of the Property (as described below) for no additional charge and will, at Tenant's request, provide HVAC services to the Premises during other hours for an additional charge of $_______________ per hour. Tenant will pay Landlord the charges under this paragraph promptly after receipt of Landlord's invoice. Hourly charges are charged on a half-hour basis. Any partial hour will be rounded up to the next half hour. Tenant will comply with Landlord's procedures to make a request to provide the additional HVAC services in advance. 
  
 ☒(3) Tenant will pay for the HVAC services under this Lease. For any HVAC system that services only the Premises, Tenant shall, at Tenant's own cost and expense, enter into a regularly scheduled preventative maintenance and service contract for all such HVAC systems and equipment during the Term.

 D.Operating Hours of the Property. The operating hours of the Property are the times reasonably determined by Landlord unless they are specified here. [specify the operating hours of the Property including the days of the week, and whether Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are included]: N/A Tenant shall have 24 hour access 
  
 E.Cleaning. Tenant must keep the Premises clean and sanitary and promptly dispose of all trash in appropriate receptacles. Tenant will provide, at Tenant's expense, janitorial services to the Premises, unless this box ☐ is checked, in which case Landlord will provide janitorial services to the Premises that are customary for the property type. Tenant will maintain, at Tenant's expense, any grease trap on the Property that Tenant uses, including but not limited to periodic emptying and cleaning, as well as making any modification to the grease trap that may be necessary to comply with any applicable law. 
  
 7.04Alterations, Additions and Improvements. Tenant may not create any openings in the roof or exterior walls without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant may not make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises ("Alterations") without the prior written consent of Landlord. However, Tenant is not required to obtain the Landlord's prior written consent for non-structural Alterations that do not cost more than $5,000 and that do not modify or affect the roof, plumbing, HVAC systems or electrical systems. Consent for non-structural Alterations in excess of $5,000 or that modify or affect plumbing, HVAC systems or electrical systems will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord. Tenant may erect or install trade fixtures, shelves, bins, machinery, HVAC systems, and refrigeration equipment, provided that Tenant complies with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, codes, and regulations. At the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant may, subject to the restrictions of Section 7.05, remove items installed by Tenant, provided Tenant is not in default at the time of the removal and Tenant repairs, in a good and workmanlike manner, any damage caused by the installation or removal. Tenant shall pay for all costs incurred or arising out of Alterations and will not permit any mechanic's or materialman's lien to be filed against the Premises or the Property. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord proof of payment, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, of all costs incurred in connection with any Alterations. 
  
 7.05Condition upon Termination. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord broom clean and in the same condition as received, except for normal wear and tear and any damage caused by a casualty that Tenant is not otherwise obligated to repair under any provision of this Lease. Tenant will not be obligated to repair any damage that Landlord is required to repair under Article Seven (Property Condition) or Article Eight (Damage or Destruction). In addition, Landlord may require Tenant to remove any Alterations before the expiration or termination of this Lease and to restore the Premises to their prior condition, all at Tenant's expense. However, Tenant will not be required to remove any Alterations that were made with Landlord's consent or that were otherwise permitted under the terms of this Lease. All Alterations that Tenant does not remove will become Landlord's property upon the expiration or termination of this Lease. In no event may Tenant remove any of the following items without Landlord's prior written consent: (i) electrical wiring or power panels; (ii) lighting or lighting fixtures; (iii) wall coverings, drapes, blinds or other window coverings; (iv) carpets or other floor coverings; (v) HVAC equipment; (vi) plumbing equipment; (vii) fencing or gates; or (viii) any fixtures, equipment or other items that, if removed, would affect the operation or the appearance of the Property.

 ARTICLE EIGHT
  
 DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
  
 8.01Notice. If any buildings or other improvements situated on the Property are damaged or destroyed by fire, flood, windstorm, tornado or other casualty, Tenant shall immediately give written notice of the damage or destruction to Landlord. 
  
 8.02Partial Damage. If the Premises are damaged by fire, tornado or other casualty, and rebuilding and repairs can be completed within 120 days after the date Landlord receives written notification from Tenant of the occurrence of the damage, then this Lease will not terminate, but Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild and repair the Premises (other than leasehold improvements made by Tenant or any assignee, subtenant or other occupant of the Premises) to substantially the condition they were in before the damage. To the extent the Premises cannot be occupied (in whole or in part) after the casualty, the Rent payable under this Lease during the period the Premises cannot be fully occupied will be adjusted equitably. 
  
 If the casualty occurs during the last 18 months of the Term, Landlord will not be required to rebuild or repair the damage unless Tenant exercises Tenant's renewal option (if any) within 15 days after the date Landlord receives written notification of the occurrence of the damage. If the casualty occurs during the last 18 months of the Term and Tenant does not so exercise Tenant's renewal option, or if there is no renewal option in this Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, terminate this Lease by delivering a written termination notice to Tenant, in which case the Rent will be abated for the unexpired portion of the Term, effective on the date Landlord received written notification of the damage.
  
 8.03Substantial or Total Destruction. If the Premises are substantially or totally destroyed by fire, tornado, or other casualty, or so damaged that rebuilding and repairs cannot reasonably be completed within 120 days after the date Landlord receives written notification from Tenant of the occurrence of the damage, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by promptly delivering a written termination notice to the other party, in which event the monthly installments of Rent will be abated for the unexpired portion of the Term, effective on the date of the damage or destruction. If neither party promptly terminates this Lease, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild and repair the Premises (except that Tenant shall rebuild and repair Tenant's fixtures and improvements in the Premises). To the extent the Premises cannot be occupied (in whole or in part) after the casualty, the Rent payable under this Lease during the period the Premises cannot be fully occupied will be adjusted equitably. 
  
 ARTICLE NINE
  
 CONDEMNATION
  
 If, during the Term, all or a substantial part of the Premises are taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation or by right of eminent domain, or are conveyed to the condemning authority under threat of condemnation, this Lease will terminate and the monthly installments of Rent will be abated during the unexpired portion of the Term, effective on the date of the taking. If less than a substantial part of the Premises is taken for public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or is conveyed to the condemning authority under threat of condemnation, Landlord shall promptly, at Landlord's expense, restore and reconstruct the Premises (other than leasehold improvements made by Tenant or any assignee, subtenant or other occupant of the Premises) in order to make the Premises reasonably suitable for the Permitted Use. The Rent payable under this Lease during the unexpired portion of the Term will be adjusted equitably. If there is a taking of the Property that has a material, adverse effect on the operation of Tenant's business in the Premises, then the Rent will be adjusted equitably. Landlord and Tenant will each be entitled to receive and retain such separate awards and portions of lump sum awards as may be allocated to their respective interests in any condemnation proceeding. The termination of this Lease will not affect the rights of the parties to those awards.

 ARTICLE TEN
  
 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
  
 Tenant may not assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any assignment or subletting will be expressly subject to all terms and provisions of this Lease, including the provisions of Section 6.01 pertaining to the use of the Premises. In the event of any assignment or subletting, Tenant will remain fully liable for the full performance of all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant may not assign Tenant's rights under this Lease or sublet the Premises without first obtaining a written agreement from the assignee or sublessee whereby the assignee or sublessee agrees to assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease and to be bound by the terms of this Lease. If a Default occurs while the Premises is assigned or sublet, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, in addition to any other remedies provided in this Lease or by law, collect directly from the assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due under the terms of the assignment or subletting and apply the rents against any sums due to Landlord under this Lease. No direct collection by Landlord from any assignee or subtenant will release Tenant from Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
  
 ARTICLE ELEVEN
  
 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
  
 11.01Default. Each of the following events is a default under this Lease (a "Default"): 
  
 A.Failure of Tenant to pay any installment of the Rent or other sum payable to Landlord under this Lease on the date that it is due, and the continuance of that failure for a period of five days after Landlord delivers written notice of the failure to Tenant. This clause will not be construed to permit or allow a delay in paying Rent beyond the due date and will not affect Landlord's right to impose a Late Charge as permitted in Section 3.03; 
  
 B.Failure of Tenant to comply with any term, condition or covenant of this Lease, other than the payment of Rent or other sum of money, and the continuance of that failure for a period of 30 days after Landlord delivers written notice of the failure to Tenant; 
  
 C.Failure of Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease to pay its debts as they become due or an admission in writing of inability to pay its debts, or the making of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; 
  
 D.The commencement by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease of any case, proceeding or other action seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property; 
  
 E.The commencement of any case, proceeding or other action against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease seeking to have an order for relief entered against it as debtor, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property, and Tenant or any guarantor: (i) fails to obtain a dismissal of such case, proceeding, or other action within 60 days of its commencement; or (ii) converts the case from one chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code to another chapter; or (iii) is the subject of an order of relief that is not fully stayed within seven business days after the entry thereof; and 
  
 F.Vacancy or abandonment by Tenant of any substantial portion of the Premises or cessation of the use of the Premises for the purpose leased, and the continuance of that vacancy, abandonment or cessation for a period of 30 days after Landlord delivers a written notice to Tenant. 
 
 COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 17
 
  
11.02Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Default listed in Section 11.01, Landlord may pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any prior notice or demand. 
  
 A.Landlord may terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy that Landlord may have for possession of the Premises or Rent in arrears, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for any claim for damages due to the termination of this Lease or termination of possession. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all Rent and loss and damage Landlord may suffer by reason of the termination or inability to relet the Premises up to the date of termination, in addition to any other liabilities that survive the termination of this Lease. 
  
 B.Landlord may enter upon and take possession of the Premises, without terminating this Lease and without being liable for any claim for damages due to termination of possession, and expel Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof. Landlord may relet the Premises and receive rent from the new occupant. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord monthly, or on demand from time to time, any deficiency that may arise by reason of any such reletting. In determining the amount of the deficiency, professional service fees, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, remodeling expenses and other costs of reletting will be subtracted from the amount of rent received from the new occupant. 
  
 C.Landlord may enter upon the Premises, without terminating this Lease and without being liable for any claim for damages due to such entry, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand for expenses that Landlord incurs in performing Tenant's obligations under this Lease, together with interest thereon at the rate of 12% per annum from the date spent until paid. 
  
 D.Landlord may sue Tenant for damages for breach of this Lease after Tenant's Default and abandonment of the Premises, or after Landlord terminates Tenant's possession and Tenant vacates the Premises, in which case the measure of damages is the sum of: (i) the unpaid Rent up to the date of the abandonment or vacancy, plus (ii) the difference between the Rent for the remainder of the Term after abandonment or vacancy, and the fair market rental value of this Lease for the remainder of the Term after abandonment or vacancy, such difference to be discounted to present value at a rate equal to the rate of interest that is allowed by law in the State of Texas when the parties to a contract have not agreed on any particular rate of interest (or, in the absence of such law, at the rate of 6% per annum). Neither the enforcement or collection by Landlord of those amounts nor the payment by Tenant of those amounts will constitute a waiver by Landlord of any breach, existing or in the future, of any of the terms or provisions of this Lease by Tenant or a waiver of any rights or remedies that the Landlord may have with respect to any breach. 
  
 E.In addition to the foregoing remedies, Landlord may change or modify the locks on the Premises if Tenant fails to pay the Rent when due. Landlord will not be obligated to provide another key to Tenant or allow Tenant to regain entry to the Premises unless and until Tenant pays Landlord all Rent that is delinquent. Tenant agrees that Landlord will not be liable for any damages resulting to the Tenant from the lockout. When Landlord changes or modifies the locks, Landlord or Landlord's agent shall post a written notice in accordance with Section of the Texas Property Code, or its successor statute. Tenant may be subject to legal liability if Tenant or Tenant's representative tampers with any lock after the locks have been changed or modified. 
  
 F.No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord will be construed as an election to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of that intention is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any re-entry, taking possession or reletting, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, elect to terminate this Lease for a previous Default. Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies will not preclude pursuit of any other remedies provided by lawl nor will pursuit of any remedy provided in this Lease constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any Rent due to Landlord under this Lease or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the provisions in this Lease. Failure of Landlord to declare any Default immediately upon its occurrence1   or failure to enforce one or more of Landlord's remedies, or forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of  
 
 COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 18
 
  
Landlord's remedies upon a Default, will not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of Landlord's remedies for any Default. Pursuit of any one of the remedies will not preclude pursuit by Landlord of any of the other remedies provided in this Lease. The loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of a Default by Tenant under this Lease, or the deficiency from any reletting, will include the expense of taking possession and any repairs performed by Landlord after a Default by Tenant. If Landlord terminates this Lease at any time for any Default, in addition to other Landlord's remedies, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by reason of the Default, including the cost of recovering the Premises and the Rent then remaining unpaid.
  
 G.Nothing in this Lease will be construed as imposing any duty upon Landlord to relet the Premises. Landlord will have no duty to mitigate Landlord's damages except as required by applicable law. Any duty imposed by law on Landlord to mitigate damages after a Default by Tenant will be satisfied if Landlord undertakes to lease the Premises to another tenant (a "Substitute Tenant") in accordance with the following criteria: 
  
 (1) Landlord will have no obligation to solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenant for the Premises until Landlord obtains full possession of the Premises including, without limitation, the final and unappealable legal right to relet the Premises free of any claim of Tenant;
  
 (2) Landlord will not be obligated to lease or show the Premises on a priority basis, or offer the Premises to a prospective tenant when other space in the Property suitable for the prospective tenant's use is (or soon will be) available;
  
 (3) Landlord will not be obligated to lease the Premises to a Substitute Tenant for an amount less than the current fair market rent then prevailing for similar uses in comparable buildings in the same market area as the Property, nor will Landlord be obligated to enter into a new lease under other terms and conditions that are unacceptable to Landlord under Landlord's then current leasing policies for comparable space in the Property;
  
 (4)                      Landlord will not be obligated to enter into a lease with a Substitute Tenant whose use would: 
  
 (i) violate any restriction, covenant, or requirement contained in the lease of another tenant of the Property;
  
 (ii) adversely affect the reputation of the Property; or
  
 (iii) be incompatible with other uses of the Property.
  
 (5) Landlord will not be obligated to enter into a lease with a Substitute Tenant that does not have, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, sufficient financial resources to pay the Rent under the new lease and operate the Premises in a first class manner; and
  
 (6) Landlord will not be required to spend any amount of money to alter, remodel, or otherwise make the Premises suitable for use by a proposed Substitute Tenant unless:
  
 (i) Tenant pays any such sum to Landlord in advance of Landlord's execution of a lease with the Substitute Tenant (which payment will not be in lieu of any damages or other sums to which Landlord may be entitled as a result of Tenant's Default under this Lease); or
 
 COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 19
 
  
 
  
 (ii) Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, determines that any such expenditure is financially justified in connection with entering into a lease with the Substitute Tenant.
  
 H.No right or remedy of Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy will be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy now or hereafter existing under this Lease, at law, in equity or by statute. Landlord will not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from any right or remedy exercised by Landlord, regardless of the cause, even if it is caused by the sole, joint or concurrent negligence of Landlord. 
  
 11.03Notice of Default. Tenant shall give written notice of any failure by Landlord to perform any of Landlord's obligations under this Lease to Landlord and to any ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under any deed of trust encumbering the Premises whose name and address have been furnished to Tenant in writing. Landlord will not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord (or the ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary) fails to cure the nonperformance within 30 days after receipt of Tenant's notice. However, if the nonperformance reasonably requires more than 30 days to cure, Landlord will not be in default if the cure is commenced within the 30-day period and is thereafter diligently pursued to completion. 
  
 11.04Limitation of Landlord's Liability. As used in this Lease, the term "Landlord" means only the current owner or owners of the fee title to the Premises, or the leasehold estate under a ground lease of the Premises, at the time in question. Each Landlord is obligated to perform the obligations of Landlord under this Lease only during the time such Landlord owns such title or estate. Any Landlord who transfers its title, estate or other interest is relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations of Landlord under this Lease accruing on or after the date of the transfer, and Tenant agrees to recognize the transferee as Landlord under this Lease. However, each Landlord shall deliver to its transferee the Security Deposit held by Landlord, to the extent the Security Deposit has not then been applied under the terms of this Lease.

 LANDLORD'S CONTRACTUAL LIEN
  
 In addition to the statutory Landlord's lien, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest to secure payment of all Rent and other sums of money becoming due under this Lease from Tenant, upon all inventory, goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture and all other personal property of Tenant situated in or on the Premises, together with the proceeds from the sale thereof. Tenant may not remove such property without the consent of Landlord until all Rent in arrears and other sums then due to Landlord under this Lease have been paid. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies provided in this Lease or by law, enter upon the Premises and take possession of any and all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture and other personal property of Tenant situated in or on the Premises without liability for trespass or conversion, and sell the property at public or private sales, with or without having the property at the sale, after giving Tenant reasonable notice of the time and place of any such sale. Unless otherwise required by law, notice to Tenant of the sale will be deemed sufficient if given in the manner prescribed in this Lease at least 10 days before the time of the sale. Any public sale made under this Article will be deemed to have been conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held on the Premises or where the property is located, after the time, place and method of sale and a general description of the types of property to be sold have been advertised in a daily newspaper published in the county where the Premises is located for five consecutive days before the date of the sale. Landlord or its assigns may purchase at a public sale and, unless prohibited by law, at a private sale. The proceeds from any disposition pursuant to this Article, less any and all expenses connected with the taking of possession, holding and selling of the property (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), will be applied as a credit against the indebtedness secured by the security interest granted in this Article. Any surplus will be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by law, and Tenant shall promptly pay any deficiencies. Landlord is authorized to file a financing statement to perfect the security interest of Landlord in the aforementioned property and proceeds thereof under the provisions of the Texas Business and Commerce Code in effect in the State of Texas. Provided Tenant is not in default under any of the terms of this Lease, upon written request by Tenant, Landlord shall deliver a written subordination of Landlord's statutory and contractual liens to any liens and security interests securing any institutional third party financing of Tenant. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay the delivery of Landlord's written subordination.

 13.01Subordination and Attornment. Landlord may subordinate this Lease to any future ground Lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises, and advances made on the security thereof and any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, whenever made or recorded. Landlord's right to subordinate is subject to Landlord providing Tenant with a written Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement from the ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee wherein Tenant's right to peaceable possession of the Premises during the Term will not be disturbed if Tenant pays the Rent and performs all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and is not otherwise in default, in which case Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or successor to Landlord's interest in the Premises and recognize the transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease. Tenant’s rights under this Lease are subordinate to any existing ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises. However, if any ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee elects to have this Lease be superior to its ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage and gives Tenant written notice thereof, then this Lease will be deemed superior to the ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of the ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage or the date of recording thereof. 
  
 13.02Signing of Documents. Tenant shall sign and deliver any document that may be requested to evidence any attornment or subordination, or any agreement to attom or subordinate, as long as the document is consistent with the provisions of Section 13.01. If Tenant fails to do so within 10 days after a written request, Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver the attornment or subordination document. 
  
 13.03Estoppel Certificates. 
  
 A.Upon Landlord's written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a written statement (an "Estoppel Certificate") certifying: 
  
 (1) whether Tenant is an assignee or subtenant;
 (2) the Expiration Date of this Lease;
 (3) the  number  of  renewal  options  under  this  Lease,  if  any1     and  the  total  period  of  time covered by the renewal options;
 (4) that none of the terms or provisions of this Lease have been changed since the original execution of this Lease, except as shown on any attached amendments or modifications;
 (5) that no default exists under the terms of this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant;
 (6) that Tenant has no claim against Landlord under this Lease and has no defense or right of offset against collection of Rent or other charges accruing under this Lease;

 (8) the amount of any Security Deposit and other deposits, if any; and
 (9) the identity and address of any guarantor of this Lease.
  
 Tenant shall deliver the statement to Landlord within 10 days after Landlord's request. Landlord may forward any such statement to any prospective purchaser or lender of the Premises. The purchaser or lender may rely conclusively upon the statement as true and correct.
  
 B.If Tenant does not deliver the Estoppel Certificate to Landlord within the 10-day period, Landlord, and any prospective purchaser or lender, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (1) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (2) that this Lease has not been terminated except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (3) that not more than one monthly installment of Base Rent and other charges have been paid in advance; (4) there are no claims against Landlord nor any defenses or rights of offset against collection of Rent; and (5) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease.

C.Also, if Tenant does not deliver the Estoppal Certificate to Landlord within the 10-day period, Landlord may deliver a written notice to Tenant stating that Tenant must deliver an Estoppel Certificate under this Section within five days after Tenant receives the notice. If Tenant does not deliver an Estoppal Certificate to Landlord within five days after Tenant receives the notice. then Tenant's failure to deliver an Estoppal Certificate will constitute a Default under this Lease, notwithstanding any longer period of time under Section 11.01 that Tenant would otherwise be allowed to cure a failure before the failure would become a Default. 
  
 13.04Tenant's Financial Condition. Within 10 days after a written request from Landlord, but not more than two times in any calendar year, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord financial statements as are reasonably required by Landlord to verify the net worth of Tenant, or any assignee, subtenant, or guarantor of Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall deliver to any lender designated by Landlord any financial statements required by the lender to facilitate the financing or refinancing of the Premises. Tenant represents to Landlord that each financial statement is a true, complete, and accurate statement as of the date of the statement. All financial statements will be confidential and will be used only for the purposes set forth in this Lease.

 ADDENDUM "A" TO LEASE
 RENEWAL OPTIONS
  
  
 Address of the Premises:  4139 Centurion Way Suite 400. Addison, TX  75001
  
 1. Option to Extend the Term. Landlord grants to Tenant  TWO  option(s) (each an "Option") to extend the Term for an additional term of  60  months each (the "Extension"), on the same terms, conditions and covenants set forth in this Lease, except as provided below. Each Option may be exercised only by written notice delivered to the Landlord no earlier than  One Hundred Eighty  (180) days before, and no later than  One Hundred Eighty (180) days before, the expiration of the Term or the preceding Extension of the Term, whichever is applicable. If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord a written notice of the exercise of an Option within the prescribed time period, such Option and any succeeding Options will lapse, and there will be no further right to extend the Term. Each Option may only be exercised by Tenant on the express condition that, at the time of the exercise, Tenant is not in default under any of the provisions of this Lease. The Options are personal to Tenant and may not be exercised by an assignee or subtenant without Landlord's written consent.
  
 2. Calculation of Rent. The Base Rent during the Extension(s) will be determined by one of the following methods [check one]:
  
 ☒ A. Fair Market Rental. The Base Rent during the Extension will be the Fair Market Rental determined as follows:
  
 a. The "Fair Market Rental" of the Premises means the price that a ready and willing tenant would pay as of the commencement of the Extension as monthly rent to a ready and willing landlord of Premises comparable to the Premises if the property were exposed for lease on the open market for a reasonable period of time, and taking into account the term of the Extension, the amount of improvements made by Tenant at its expense, the creditworthiness of the Tenant, and all of the purposes for which the property may be used and not just the use proposed to be made of the Premises by Tenant. Upon proper written notice by Tenant to Landlord of Tenant's intention to elect to exercise the renewal Option, Landlord shall, within  10  days thereafter, notify Tenant in writing of Landlord's proposed Fair Market Rental amount, and Tenant shall thereupon notify Landlord of Tenant's acceptance or rejection of Landlord's proposed amount. Failure of Tenant to reject Landlord's Fair Market Rental amount within  10  days after receipt of Landlord's notice will be deemed Tenant's acceptance of Landlord's proposed Fair Market Rental amount.
  
 b.  If Landlord and Tenant have not been able to agree on the Fair Market Rental amount within 40 days following the exercise of the Option, the Fair Market Rental for the Extension will be determined by the following appraisal process. Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor in good faith to select a single Appraiser. The term "Appraiser" means a State Certified Real Estate Appraiser licensed by the State of Texas to value commercial property. If Landlord and Tenant are able to agree upon and select a single Appraiser, that Appraiser will determine the Fair Market Rental for the Extension.
  
 If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single Appraiser within  10  days after the end of the 40-day period, each will then appoint one Appraiser by written notice to the other, given within  10  days after the end of the 40-day period. Within five business days after the two Appraisers are appointed, the two Appraisers will appoint a third Appraiser. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint its Appraiser within the prescribed time period, the single Appraiser appointed will determine the Fair Market Rental amount of the Premises. Each party will bear the cost of the appraiser appointed by it and the parties will share equally the cost of the third appraiser. The Fair Market Rental of the Premises will be the average of two of the three appraisals that are closest in amount, and the third appraisal will be disregarded.
 
 ADDENDUM “A” TO LEASE - Page 1
 
  
 
 c. In no event will the Base Rent be reduced for any Extension, regardless of the Fair Market Rental determined by any appraisal. If the Fair Market Rental is not determined before the commencement of the Extension, then Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord the Base Rent applicable to the Premises immediately before the Extension until the Fair Market Rental amount is determined, and when it is determined, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the Base Rent actually paid by Tenant to Landlord and the new Base Rent.
  
 ☐ B. Consumer Price Index Adjustment. The monthly Base Rent during the Extension will be determined by multiplying the monthly installment of Base Rent during the last month of the Term by a fraction determined as follows:
  
 a. The numerator will be the Latest Index that means either [check one]:
  
 ☐ (1) the Index published for the nearest calendar month preceding the first day of the Extension, or
  
 ☐ (2) the Index for the month of Extension. _________________preceding the first day of the
  
 b. The denominator will be the Initial Index that means either [check one]:
  
 ☐ (1) the Index published for the nearest calendar month preceding the Commencement Date, or
  
 ☐(2) the Index for the month of ______________ preceding the Commencement 
  
 [If no blanks are filled in above, the choice (1) including the phrase "the nearest calendar month preceding" will apply. If the Index is not yet published for the nearest calendar month preceding the applicable date, then "the nearest calendar month" means the first month preceding the applicable date for which the Index is published].
  
 c. The Index means the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers (All Items) U.S. City Average (unless this box is checked ☐ in which case the CPI for the Dallas/Fort Worth Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area will be used) published by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (Base Index of 1982-84 =100). If the Index is discontinued or revised, the new index or computation that replaces the Index will be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would have been obtained if it had not been discontinued or revised. If such computation would reduce the Rent for the particular Extension, it will be disregarded, and the Rent during the immediately preceding period will apply instead.
  
 ☐ C. Fixed Rental Adjustments. The monthly installments of Base Rent during the Extension(s) will be increased beginning on the following dates to these amounts:

 Address of the Premises:  4139 Centurion Way Suite 400. Addison, TX  75001
  
 1. In order to induce  Triple D Rosegate, LLC  ("Landlord") to execute the Commercial Lease Agreement (the "Lease") with  Rapid Therapeutic Scientific Laboratories, Inc.  ("Tenant") for the Premises described above in  Dallas  County, State of Texas, the undersigned (the "Guarantor," whether one or more than one) has guaranteed and by this instrument does hereby guarantee the full payment and performance of all liabilities, obligations, and duties (including but not limited to maintenance and the payment of Rent) imposed upon  Tenant  under the terms  of the Lease, as if Guarantor had executed the Lease as Tenant.
  
 2. Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance, modification, extension and default of this Guaranty and all other notices in connection with this Guaranty or in connection with the liabilities, obligations, and duties guaranteed hereby, including notices of default by Tenant under the Lease, and waives diligence, presentment, and suit on the part of Landlord in the enforcement of any liability, obligation, or duty guaranteed hereby. Guarantor waives all rights arising under Chapter 34 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code. Guarantor waives all rights to claim any defense arising out of lack of diligence; any failure to pursue Tenant; loss or impairment of any right of subrogation or reimbursement; release of any other guarantor or collateral; death, insolvency, or lack of corporate authority of Tenant; and waiver, release, or election, based on Landlord's or Tenant's rights and obligations under the Lease and the enforcement of its terms.
  
 3. Landlord will not be first required to enforce against Tenant or any other person any liability, obligation, or duty guaranteed hereby before seeking enforcement thereof against Guarantor. This Guaranty is a primary, irrevocable, and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and is independent of Tenant's obligations under the Lease. Suit may be brought and maintained against Guarantor by Landlord to enforce any liability, obligation, or duty guaranteed hereby without joinder of Tenant or any other person. The liability of Guarantor will not be affected by any indulgence, compromise, settlement, or variation of terms that may be extended to Tenant by Landlord or agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, and will not be impaired, modified, changed, released, or limited in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release, or limitation of the liability of Tenant or its estate in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof. Guarantor will not be released by any extensions, amendments, assignments, subleases, or other modifications of the Lease that Landlord and Tenant may enter into at any time without notice to or consent by Guarantor. Guarantor will remain fully liable for the payment and performance of all liabilities, obligations, and duties of Tenant under the Lease as so extended, amended, assigned, subleased, or otherwise modified.
  
 4. Other agreements similar to this Guaranty may, at Landlord's sole option and discretion, be executed by other persons with respect to the Lease. This Guaranty will be cumulative of any such agreements and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty will not be affected or diminished by reason of such other agreements. Moreover, if Landlord obtains signatures of more than one guarantor on this Guaranty, or Landlord obtains additional guaranty agreements, or both, Guarantor agrees that Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion, may (i) bring suit against all guarantors of the Lease, jointly and severally, or against any one or more of them, (ii) settle with any one or more of the guarantors for such consideration as Landlord may choose, and (iii) release one or more of the guarantors from liability. No such action will impair the rights of Landlord to enforce this Guaranty against any Guarantor.
  
  
  
 
 ADDENDUM “F” TO LEASE - Page 1
 
  
 
  
 5. If Guarantor is a corporation, then the undersigned officer personally represents and warrants that the Board of Directors of the corporation, by unanimous consent or in a duly held meeting, has authorized the execution of this Guaranty and determined that this Guaranty may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation.
  
 6. If Landlord employs an attorney to present, enforce, or defend any of Landlord's rights or remedies under this Guaranty, Guarantor will pay Landlord's reasonable attorney's fees and court costs.
  
 7. This Guaranty will be binding upon Guarantor and Guarantor's successors, heirs, executors, and administrators, and will inure to the benefit of Landlord and Landlord's successors, heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns.
