or the Project, the Premises are being leased “AS IS”, with Tenant accepting all defects, if any; and Landlord makes
no warranty of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the Premises (without limitation, Landlord makes no warranty as to
the habitability, fitness or suitability of the Premises for a particular purpose nor as to the absence of any toxic or otherwise
hazardous substances except as expressly set forth in this Lease). This Paragraph 1 is subject to any contrary requirements
under applicable law; however, in this regard Tenant acknowledges that it has been given the opportunity to inspect the Project
and to have qualified experts inspect the Project prior to the execution of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease
to the contrary, as of the Premises Delivery Date, Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that (a) to Landlord’s knowledge,
there are no Hazardous Substances existing on, in, under or about the Premises, Building, or the Project, and (b) the Premises,
Building, Project, and Landlord’s Work shall be in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes,
codes, rules, regulations, orders, permits and other restrictions applicable thereto, including without limitation, the Americans

The covenant of Tenant to pay Rent hereunder is and shall be deemed a separate and individual covenant, and Tenant shall have no
right to deduction or setoff whatsoever, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease.


 


(a) Base
Rent and Tenant’s pro rata share of Additional Expenses (collectively, “Rent”) shall be due on the first (1st)
day of each calendar month and shall be deemed delinquent if not paid by the fifth (5th) day of such month. If any Rent is not
received by Landlord in full on or before the fifth (5th) day of each month, Tenant shall pay a late charge of five percent (5%)
of the unpaid Rent. Such late payment charges are due immediately when incurred.

the cost of Landlord’s insurance as provided for in Paragraph 15 of this Lease. In the event that any such use or
act is performed or permitted by Tenant, Tenant will pay to Landlord promptly upon demand the amount of any such increase in Landlord’s
insurance costs. Tenant will not, in any event, permit or perform any use or act within the Premises which will cause the cancellation

transformers, poles or the cost of any other equipment necessary to increase the amount or type of utilities available to the Premises
which Tenant requires. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure any and all necessary permits, licenses or other authorizations
required for the lawful and proper installation and maintenance upon the Premises of all wires, pipes, conduits, tubes and other
equipment and appliances for use in the supply of all utilities and services to and upon the Premises which Landlord is not otherwise

    PAGE 5


     


    

 


7.3 Electrical Supply.
In the event Tenant desires electric power in excess of the existing condition within the Premises or available from Landlord (“Additional
Electrical Supply”), Tenant may, at its own expense, elect to make direct arrangements to obtain such Additional Electric
Supply directly, if feasible. Landlord makes no representations or warranties regarding such arrangements (including their feasibility),
but agrees to cooperate with Tenant reasonably and in good faith in this regard. The plans and specifications for any new vault
or transformer space (including, but not limited to, the location of such space within the Building, which shall be initially designated
by mutual agreement of Landlord and Tenant, provided that Landlord is willing to make such apace available) and for any transformer,
related equipment, facilities or connections to provide the Additional Electrical Supply, shall be subject to Landlord’s
prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant agrees to pay all bills for such
direct electrical service when due and shall pay a reasonable rental as established by Landlord in its good faith, but sole, discretion
for any new vault or transformer space used by Tenant to provide the Additional Electrical Supply. The initial transformer to be
installed by Tenant as described above, and any subsequent transformers and other electrical equipment which Tenant elects to install
to provide Additional Electrical Supply to the Premises, shall sometimes be referred to herein collectively as the “Electrical
Equipment.” Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, commencing on the earlier to occur of (i) the date
which is the twenty-fourth (24th) month of the Term, and (ii) the date upon which Tenant has placed ninety percent (90%) of its
trade equipment in the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to meter and test Tenant’s connected peak amperage load used
at the Premises, and in the event that over a thirty (30) day period, Landlord’s metering and testing procedures demonstrate
that Tenant is not utilizing on a daily average business day basis, all of the amps initially reserved by Tenant in this Subsection
(d), Landlord may reclaim up to seventy-five percent (75%) of any amperage Landlord reasonably determines through such process
is being unused by Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall bear the cost of replacement of lamps, starters and ballasts for lighting
fixtures within the Premises.


 


8.
Additional Expenses.


 


8.1 Pro Rata Share.
Tenant shall also be obligated to pay to Landlord, Tenant’s pro rata share of Common Area Services costs, Real Property Taxes
and Insurance, such share being the percentage that the square foot area of the Premises bears to the total square foot area of
the building(s) comprising the Project. The Real Property Taxes, Insurance and Common Area Services costs are herein called the
“Additional Expenses”. Tenant’s estimated pro-rata share is 36.11%. If the Project size increases
or decreases, Tenant’s pro-rata share shall be adjusted accordingly. The total square foot area of the buildings comprising
the Project at the time of the execution of the Lease is approximately 231,180 sq. ft.


 


8.2 Real Property

the Premises, the leasehold estate created, or which may arise out of the use and operation by Tenant of the Premises, or which
may be imposed against the Project as a whole. Real Property Tax does not, however, include Landlord’s federal or state or
local income, franchise, inheritance, gift, estate, rollback, rent, or margin taxes, or any other tax based on revenues of the
Landlord. If the Project is not separately assessed, Tenant’s share of the Real Property Taxes payable by Tenant shall bear

to be subject to adjustment from time to time upon written notice to Tenant. Upon determination by Landlord of the actual Additional
Expenses, a cash adjustment shall be made between Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after request by either party if

glass windows and doors) and all structural portions of the roof, exterior walls (excluding glass windows and doors), floors and
foundations of the Premises, except for any repairs caused by the negligent acts or omissions of Tenant, Tenant’s agents,
employees or invitees. All requests for repairs or maintenance that are the responsibility of Landlord hereunder must be made to
Landlord in writing, and Landlord shall have a reasonable time within which to perform such repairs or maintenance. If Landlord
fails to make such repairs within a reasonable time, then Tenant may notify Landlord in writing of the need for such repairs, and
if such repairs are not made within seven (7) days after the date of Tenant’s letter, Tenant may proceed to make such repairs
and deduct the reasonable and documented costs of such repairs from the amount of Base Rent next coming due. In the event of a
bona fide emergency where immediate action is required, no prior notice from Tenant shall be required but Tenant shall attempt
to notify Landlord as soon as reasonably practical under the circumstances.


 


9.2 Tenant’s
Duties. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall provide interior pest extermination services and shall maintain in a clean
and sanitary condition and in a good state of repair all other portions of the Premises, including, but in no way limited to, all

interior surface of exterior walls, all fixtures, fire protection systems, equipment and signs, except for repairs caused by the
negligent acts or omissions of Landlord and its agents. Tenant shall assume the responsibility for repairs and replacement of heating

preceding sentence: (a) Tenant shall replace all filters in the HVAC systems as recommended by the manufacturer’s specifications;
and (b) Tenant shall have the entire heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment maintained by a qualified or licensed
HVAC contractor, as required, but at least quarterly. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the invoice or report from the
company engaged for maintenance of the HVAC, giving evidence that the system has been properly maintained. If Landlord has not
received from Tenant within thirty (30) days of the end of each quarter, a copy of the invoice or report, then Landlord shall have
the right to have the HVAC inspected and/or maintained if required by a company to be selected by Landlord. Landlord shall bill
Tenant for the cost of this inspection and/or maintenance, which shall be paid within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord’s
invoice. Landlord covenants and agrees that Tenant shall have the full benefit of any warranty applicable to the HVAC or any other
items for which Tenant is responsible to maintain under this Lease.


 


9.3 Parking Lot

9.4 Failure to Perform.
In the event Tenant fails to maintain the Premises pursuant to the above provisions, Landlord shall give Tenant notice to do such
acts as are reasonably required to so maintain the Premises. In the event Tenant fails to promptly commence such work and diligently
pursue it to completion, then Landlord shall have the right to do such acts and expend such funds at the expense of Tenant as are
reasonably required to perform such work. Any amount so expended by Landlord shall be paid by Tenant promptly after demand or deducted
by Landlord from the Security Deposit. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any damage, inconvenience, or interference
with the use of the Premises by Tenant as a result of performing any such work.


 


9.5 Condition at
End of Term. Upon the termination of this Lease or upon the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall surrender the Premises in
the same condition as received, normal wear and tear and damage by earthquake, act of God or the elements alone or other casualty
excepted. Specifically, Tenant agrees to reasonably clean such surfaces of dirt, grease, paint, tire marks or other discoloration
prior to surrendering the Premises to Landlord upon the termination of this Lease. Tenant’s duties hereunder shall include
the duty to clean the Premises and to deliver the current keys to Landlord. Failure to do so shall constitute a failure to perform
under Paragraph 9.4 above. This Paragraph 9.5 shall be applicable to any construction items that Landlord may approve
of in writing during the Term.


 


10.
Alterations. Excluding the work to be performed under Exhibit “B” attached hereto, •
Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any alterations or changes in or additions to the exterior or structural interior of
the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,
except for non-structural alterations which do not exceed $25,000 in any single instance, which shall not require the consent of
the Landlord. If Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant shall, unless otherwise specifically waived in writing by Landlord
prior to the expiration of this Lease or any extension thereof, remove all trade fixtures, equipment and improvements which Tenant
has placed in the Premises, and repair all damages to the Premises caused by such removal and restore the Premises to their original
condition (the condition existing as of the Commencement Date) as provided in Paragraph 9.5 above. All remaining alterations,
additions, improvements and fixtures shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises and become the property of Landlord
at the termination of this Lease, unless Landlord requests their removal, in which event Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, shall remove the same and restore the Premises to its original condition at Tenant’s expense, provided that Landlord
notifies Tenant in writing of such removal requirement of such alterations, additions, improvements or fixtures.


 


11.
Liens. Tenant shall keep the Premises, and any building of which the Premises is a part, free and clear of any liens
arising out of work performed or caused to be performed by Tenant and shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord from any
liens and encumbrances arising out of any work performed or materials furnished by or at the direction of Tenant. In the event
any lien is filed, Tenant shall do all acts necessary to discharge or bond over such lien within thirty (30) days of filing; or,
if Tenant desires to contest any lien, then Tenant shall deposit with Landlord such security as Landlord shall reasonably demand
to ensure the payment of the lien claim. In the event Tenant shall fail to pay or bond over any lien claim when due or shall fail
to deposit the security with Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to expend all sums reasonably necessary to discharge
the lien claim, and Tenant shall pay promptly after demand all sums expended by Landlord in discharging any lien, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs.


 


12.
Entry. Landlord and its agents shall have the right at any reasonable time to enter upon the Premises upon no less
than 24-hours’ prior written notice for the purposes of inspection, construction, serving or posting notices, showing to
a prospective purchaser or tenant (within the last 6 months of the Term), or making any changes or alterations or repairs which
Landlord shall deem reasonably necessary for the protection, improvement or preservation of the Premises or the building of which
the Premises are a part, or for any lawful purpose. At any time within one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of
the Term of the Lease, Landlord may place on the Premises any usual or ordinary “For Lease” signs.

13.
Assignment and Subletting. Except for a Permitted Transfer described below, Tenant shall not assign, pledge or encumber
this Lease, or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned, or delayed. This prohibition against assigning or subletting shall be construed to include a prohibition
against any assignment or subletting by operation of law. In the event any assignment or subletting of this Lease is made with
or without Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall nevertheless remain liable for the performance of all of the terms, conditions
and covenants of this Lease. Tenant shall promptly remit to Landlord all sums which Tenant receives as the result of any such subletting
or assignment in excess of the fixed rental payments to Landlord required hereunder, whether or not such subletting or assignment
is consented to by Landlord. Any assignment or subletting without the prior written consent of Landlord shall be void and constitute
a breach of the Lease and shall, at the option of the Landlord, terminate the Lease. No consent to any assignment, voluntarily
or by operation of law, of this Lease or any subletting of said Premises shall be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment
or subletting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant may assign this Lease without the approval
or consent of Landlord and without charge to: (a) any entity resulting from a merger, reorganization or consolidation of or with
Tenant, (b) any entity succeeding to the business of Tenant and acquiring substantially all of the assets of Tenant or a majority
of the equity interests of Tenant, or (c) any entity controlled, controlling or under common control with Tenant, provided that:
(i) Tenant shall not then be in default under this Lease beyond expiration of any applicable notice, grace or cure period, (ii)
in each instance, the succeeding entity shall assume in writing all of the obligations of this Lease on the part of Tenant, and
(iii) Tenant provides Landlord with (a) a copy of the instrument effectuating such transfer or subletting, and (b) reasonable evidence
supporting the basis on which such transfer or subletting does not require Landlord’s prior written consent (each a “Permitted
Transfer”). Such assignment or transfer shall in no manner relieve Tenant of any of the obligations undertaken by it
under this Lease.


 


14.
Indemnification.


 


14.1 Tenant’s
Obligation. During the Term, Tenant shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Landlord and Landlord’s management company
and their employees, agents, owners, directors and officers against all claims, demands and actions for loss, liability, damage,
cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from (i) injury or death to any person on the Premises
and damage to property on the Premises caused by the act or omission of any person, or (ii) injury or death to any person on the
Project and damage to property on the Project caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any employees, agents, owners, directors,
or officers of Tenant, excepting from both (i) and (ii) above in this Section 14.1, any loss or damage caused by an act or omission
of Landlord and/or Landlord’s management company, or any employees, agents, owners, directors or officers of any of the foregoing.


 


14.2 Landlord’s
Obligation. Landlord shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Tenant, its employees, agents, owners, directors and officers
against all claims, demands and actions for loss, liability, damage, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)

willful act or negligence of Landlord, its employees, agents, owners, directors or officers while in, upon, or connected in any
way with the Project during the term.

15.2 Policy Requirements.


 


(a) Insurance
policies required by this Lease shall:


 


(i) Be issued
by insurance companies licensed to do business in the State of Texas, with general policyholder’s ratings of at least A and
a financial rating of at least XI in the most current “Best Key Rating Guide” available on the date hereof; if the
‘Best’s” ratings are changed or discontinued, the parties shall agree to an equivalent method of rating insurance
companies;


 


(ii) Provide
that the insurance may not be cancelled or not renewed or materially reduced in the scope or amount of coverage unless thirty (30)
days’ prior written notice is given to Landlord;


 


(iii) Have
deductibles not greater than $10,000 (or such greater amount with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);


 


(iv) Be
primary insurance for all claims under such insurance and must provide that any insurance carried by Landlord or Landlord’s
manager is strictly excess, secondary and noncontributing with any insurance carried by Tenant; and


 


(v) Be maintained
during the entire Term and any Renewal Terms.


 


(b) By
the Commencement Date and at least five (5) business days prior to each renewal of its insurance policies, Tenant’s insurance
producer shall deliver certificates of insurance directly to Landlord, and not through Tenant. The certificate shall specify amounts,
types of coverage, all additional insured endorsements, all loss payee endorsements, all mortgagee clauses, and all waivers of
subrogation, and the insurance criteria listed in Section 15.2(a), above. The policies shall be renewed or replaced and maintained

(c) In

specified in this Lease, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation), at any time and from time to time, and without
notice, to procure such insurance and/or pay the premiums for such insurance, in the event that Landlord procures such insurance
or pays such premiums, Tenant shall repay Landlord, immediately upon demand by Landlord, as additional rent, all sums so paid by
Landlord together with interest thereon and any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, without prejudice
to any other rights and remedies of the Landlord under this Lease, but Tenant will nevertheless be in default hereunder (such failure
to be deemed an Event of Default) until Landlord is fully reimbursed for all such costs.


 






    PAGE 13


     


    

 


15.3 Legal Use and
Violations of Insurance Coverage. Tenant covenants and agrees with Landlord not to occupy or use, or permit any portion of
the Premises to be occupied for any business or purpose which is unlawful, disreputable, or deemed to be extra-hazardous on account
of fire, or permit anything to be done which would in any way increase the rate of fire or liability or any other insurance coverage
on the Building and/or its contents. If Tenant does anything, or permits anything to be done, on the Premises which may or does
cause the rate of fire or other insurance on the Premises or on other property of Landlord or of others within the Building to
be increased beyond the rate which would otherwise have been from time to time applicable to the Premises or any other portion
of the Project absent such action by Tenant, Tenant will have thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord to
remedy such conditions, and if it fails to do so, Tenant will pay, as additional rent, the amount of any such increase within ten
(10) days after Landlord’s written demand. However, if Tenant takes any such action without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, such action shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder
irrespective of whether Tenant pays such increase in insurance costs (after expiration of the notice and cure periods set out in
Section 16 below).


 


15.4 Blanket Policy.
Any insurance required of Tenant under this Lease may be furnished by Tenant under a `Blanket Policy” carried by it. Such
Blanket Policy shall contain an endorsement that names Landlord as an additional insured, references the Premises, guarantees a
minimum limit available for the Premises equal to the insurance amounts required in this Lease, and otherwise satisfy each and
every policy requirement required for the insurance policies to be provided by Tenant as provided herein.


 


15.5 Landlord’s
Insurance. Landlord shall, during the Term, insure the Project on a replacement cost basis in such amounts as Landlord may
deem reasonably appropriate in its sole discretion, and the cost of such insurance shall be an Additional Expense hereunder. Landlord
does not undertake any responsibility to insure any leasehold improvements. Landlord will, upon written request, provide Tenant
with copies of insurance certificates for any such coverage.


 


15.6 Waiver of Claims
and Subrogation.


 


(a) All
insurance policies (other than worker’s compensation insurance) which Tenant must carry pursuant to Article 15 of this Lease
shall contain one of the following provisions and/or endorsements (“Waiver Provision”):


 


(i) An express
waiver of any right of subrogation by the insurance company against Landlord and its agents and employees; or


 


(ii) A statement
that the policy shall not be invalidated should the insured waive in writing, prior to a loss, any or all rights of recovery against
any party for losses covered by such policies.


 


(b) To
the extent obtainable, Landlord’s property insurance policy covering the building shall also contain a Waiver Provision in
one of the alternative forms provided in subsection 15.6(a), above. Any increased premium cost incurred by Landlord by reason of
such Waiver Provision shall be paid by Tenant, provided, however, if Landlord is unable to obtain a waiver of subrogation from
its insured, then any agreement to obtain such a waiver shall be null and void.


 


16.
Default and Remedies.


 


16.1 Default by
Tenant. Tenant shall be deemed in default (an “Event of Default”) hereof in the event Tenant should:


 


(a) Default in
the prompt payment of Total Rent or any Additional Expenses when the same is due and continue in such default for ten (10) days
after Tenant’s receipt of written notice from Landlord describing such amount; or


 


(b) Remain in
violation of any other of the covenants to be performed by Tenant hereunder after the expiration of twenty (20) days following
the receipt of notice of such violation, except if such violation is not reasonably capable of being cured within said 20-day period,
then so long as Tenant has commenced to cure such violation within said 20-day period, then Tenant shall have an additional thirty
(30) days takes to cure such violation provided that Tenant diligently pursues such cure to completion; or


 






    PAGE 14


     


    

 


(c) Generally
fail to pay its debts as they become due or admit in writing its inability to pay debts; or


 


(d) File a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy, be adjudged bankrupt, be placed in or subjected to receivership, or make an assignment for benefit of creditors;
or


 


16.2 Landlord Remedies.
Upon an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any notice
or demand whatsoever:


 


(a) Landlord
may terminate this Lease, or terminate Tenant’s rights (including, but not limited to, Tenant’s right of possession)
under this Lease (but not Tenant’s obligations), and in either event Landlord shall have the right to immediate possession
of the Premises and may reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property therefrom by any lawful means, without being guilty
in any manner of trespass or otherwise; and any and all damages to Tenant, or persons holding under Tenant, by reason of such re-entry
are hereby expressly waived; and any such termination or re-entry on the part of Landlord shall be without prejudice to any remedy
available to Landlord for arrears of Rent, breach of contract, damages or otherwise, nor shall the termination of this Lease or
of Tenant’s rights under this Lease by Landlord acting under this subsection be deemed in any manner to relieve Tenant from
the obligation to pay the Rent and all other amounts due or to become due as provided in this Lease for and during the entire unexpired
portion then remaining of the Term; and


 


(b) Without terminating
this Lease, enter upon the Premises, by any lawful means, and without being guilty in any manner of trespass or otherwise and without
liability for any damage to Tenant or persons holding under Tenant by reason of such re-entry, all of which are hereby expressly
waived, and do or perform whatever Tenant is obligated hereunder to do or perform under the terms of this Lease; and Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses or other sums which Landlord may reasonably incur or expend (), pursuant to this
Subsection (c), and Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action, unless caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord; provided, however, nothing in this subsection shall be deemed an obligation or undertaking
by Landlord to remedy any such defaults of Tenant.


 


(c) Landlord
may alter any and all locks and other security devices denying access to the Premises without notice; In the event that Landlord
has repossessed the Premises as aforesaid or has elected to terminate this Lease by reason of Tenant’s default, Landlord
shall not thereafter be obligated to provide Tenant with a key to the Premises at any time, regardless of amounts subsequently
paid by Tenant; provided, that in any such instance, during Landlord’s normal business hours and at the convenience of Landlord,
and upon receipt of a written request from Tenant accompanied by such written waivers and releases as Landlord may require, Landlord
may, at its option, (1) escort Tenant or its authorized representative to the Premises to retrieve any personal belongings or other
property of Tenant not subject to the Landlord’s lien or security interest described herein, or (2) obtain a list from Tenant
of such personal property Tenant intends to remove, whereupon Landlord shall remove such property mid make it available to Tenant
at a time and place designated by Landlord. In the event Landlord elects option (2) above, Tenant shall pay, in cash and in advance,
all reasonable costs and expenses estimated by Landlord to be incurred in removing such property and making it available to Tenant,
including, but not limited to all moving and/ or storage charges theretofore incurred by Landlord. If Landlord elects to exclude
Tenant from the Premises without permanently repossessing the Premises or terminating this Lease pursuant to the foregoing, then
Landlord shall not be obligated to permit Tenant entry into the Premises or provide Tenant with a key to re-enter the Premises
until such time as all delinquent rental and other sums, including interest and late charges thereon, if any, due under this Lease
have been fully paid, and all other defaults, if any, have been completely cured to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, and
Landlord has been given. assurances by Tenant reasonably satisfactory to Landlord evidencing Tenant’s ability to satisfy
its remaining obligations under this Lease. Landlord’s remedies hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any
of its other remedies set forth in this Lease, or otherwise available to Landlord at law or in equity. It is intended that this
paragraph, and the provisions herein contained, shall supersede and be paramount to any conflicting provisions of the Texas Property
Code, as well as any successor statute governing the rights of landlords to change locks of commercial tenants; and


 






    PAGE 15


     


    

 


(d) Pursuit of
any of the foregoing remedies by Landlord shall not preclude pursuit of any other remedies herein provided Landlord or any other
remedies provided by law, nor shall pursuit of any of the other remedies herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any
Rent due Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and
covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an Event of Default
shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default.


 


In the event of termination
of this Lease or of Tenant’s rights under this Lease by Landlord as provided in this subsection, Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to relet the Premises upon such terms, conditions and covenants as are deemed proper in Landlord’s sole discretion
for the account of Tenant, and in such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs of renovating and altering the Premises for
a new tenant or tenants (but not beyond returning the Premises to a shell condition) in addition to all brokerage and/or legal
fees reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, and Landlord shall credit Tenant only for such amounts as are actually
received from such reletting during the remainder of the Term. Alternatively, at the election of Landlord, Tenant covenants and
agrees to pay as damages to Landlord, upon any such termination by Landlord of this Lease or of Tenant’s rights under this
Lease, such sum as at the time of such termination equals the amount of the excess, if any, of the then present value of all the
Rent which would have been due and payable hereunder during the remainder of the full Term (had Tenant kept and performed all agreements
and covenants of Tenant set forth in this Lease) over and above the then present rental value of the Premises for said remainder
of the Term. For purposes of present value calculations, Landlord and Tenant stipulate and agree to a discount rate of six percent
(6%) per annum. In the event of termination or repossession of the Premises due to an Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages.


 


16.3 Landlord’s
Lien. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a lien and security interest in and on all personal property (excluding inventory) of
Tenant now or hereafter placed in or upon the Premises or its common areas, and such property shall be and remain subject to such
lien and security interest of Landlord for payment of all Rent and other sums agreed to be paid by Tenant. Such lien and security
interest shall be in addition to and cumulative of Landlord’s statutory liens. The provisions of this paragraph relating
to such lien and security interest shall constitute a security agreement under the Texas Business and Commerce Code, however any
Landlord’s statutory or contractual lien rights of Landlord to Tenant’s personal property shall be automatically subordinate
to any third party lenders having a purchase-money security interest or other interest in any such personal property of Tenant
(“Superior Rights Holders”), and Landlord agrees to promptly execute and return within ten (10) days after receipt
thereof, any documents reasonably requested by Tenant or any Superior Rights Holder to reflect the foregoing subordination of Landlord’s
security interest in Tenant’s personal property as set forth in this Section 16.3.


 






    PAGE 16


     


    

 


17.
Bankruptcy of Tenant. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq., any and all funds payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment
shall be paid or delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord, and shall not constitute property
of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any and all funds or other considerations constituting
Landlord’s property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit
of Landlord and be promptly paid or delivered to Landlord. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed without further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under
this Lease on and after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall upon demand execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument
confirming such assumption.


 


18.
Settlements of Disagreements. In the case of any and all claims or disputes arising between or among any two (2)
or more parties in interest, if the parties in interest are unable to resolve the matter within a reasonable period of time, all
of the parties in interest hereby agree to submit such claim or dispute to mediation in accordance with the rules and procedures
set forth in Chapter 154 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, as amended from time to time. The parties in interest hereby
agree that all such claims and/or disputes will be submitted to mediation before any lawsuit is filed, or other formal action is
taken, to resolve such claim or dispute by or through the litigation or arbitration processes; provided, however, that the provisions
hereof shall not prevent any party from filing a lawsuit, or taking any other action, as may be necessary to preserve the legal
rights of that party from impairment or extinction under any applicable statute of limitation, or other similar statue or rule
of law. Each of the parties in interest hereby agrees to give the other parties in interest written notice of any claim or dispute
which the parties in interest desires to submit to mediation under the procedures contained herein. Upon the giving of such written
notice, the parties in interest shall first seek to agree on the person or persons who shall function as the mediator or mediators
in connection with the mediation proceeding. If, after a reasonable period of time, the parties in interest are unable to agree
on a suitable mediator, they shall request the judge of the Presiding District Court of Bexar County, Texas, to appoint a duly
qualified mediator to conduct the mediation. The parties in interest shall bear equally the fees charged by the mediator and other
associated costs of the mediation process. In connection with any such mediation, the parties in interest hereby agree to make
a good faith effort to settle their disputes and resolve any claims through the mediation process. If, however, after a good faith
effort to resolve any such dispute or claim through mediation, no settlement or resolution is achieved, the parties in interest
shall be free to initiate litigation or to take whatever other action they may desire or deem appropriate in the circumstances,
if the amount in controversy exceeds $20,000.00. If, however, the amount in controversy is $20,000.00 or less, the parties in interest
shall submit their dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules and regulations then currently published by the
American Arbitration Association, except to the extent that the parties in interest are able to agree to alternative procedures.
For example, notwithstanding the rules established by the American Arbitration Association, if the parties in interest can agree
upon one or more arbitrators to decide their dispute, such arbitrator or arbitrators are hereby vested with the authority to hear
and resolve the dispute or claim between the parties in interest in accordance with any rules and procedures agreed to by the parties
to the dispute. In the absence of such agreement, or to the extent the parties cannot agree, the rules and procedures of the American
Arbitration Association shall govern.

19.
Damage to Premises By Fire or Other Casualty.


 


19.1 Restoration
of the Premises. In the event that the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate written
notice of such damage to Landlord and to any mortgagee of the Premises whose address shall have been furnished it, and Landlord
shall proceed with all reasonable diligence to commence and complete restoration of the Premises within one hundred eighty (180)
days from the date of such damage, during which restoration period this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that
Total Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the percentage which the area of the unusable portion of the Premises bears to the
area of the entire Premises. Landlords obligation to restore the Premises shall be limited to the scope of Landlord’s original
work and to the amount of insurance proceeds actually received, and Tenant shall be entirely responsible for the restoration of
improvements by Tenant or Tenant’s personal property. In the event that the Premises cannot be restored within one hundred
eighty (180) days of such damage, then either Landlord or Tenant may cancel this Lease effective upon written notice of such cancellation
given to the other party.

request by Tenant. Tenant will cause the approved Plans to be filed with the appropriate governmental agencies in order to obtain
the Building Permit, in such form as may be required for construction and occupancy. Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to submit the Plans to the appropriate governmental agencies no later than March 15, 2018, and shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain the Building Permit no later than May 15, 2018. Any delay by Tenant in submitting the Plans by March 15, 2018
or obtaining the Building Permit by May 15, 2018 shall be deemed as a Tenant Delay (as defined herein), but shall not be considered
a default by Tenant.


 


(e) Landlord shall approve
or provide modifications to Tenant regarding the form of Construction Drawings. Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree on the
form of plans for Landlord’s Work, and the approved plans shall be known as the “Plans”, and the resulting documents
necessary for construction of the Plans shall constitute the “Construction Documents”.


 


(g) Landlord shall designate
engineers who shall complete, at Landlord’s initial expense, building standard construction of the Plans (“Landlord’s
Work”), which shall include, but not be limited to:


 


i. _____________________;


ii. _____________________;


iii. _____________________;


iv. _____________________;


v.
_____________________; and


vi. _____________________;


 


2. Any redrawing occasioned
by Tenant after its prior approval, and any changes requested thereafter in plans and specifications, shall be at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense and shall be subject to Landlord’s written approval.

3. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in the Lease, the Premises shall be tendered to Tenant (or made available to Landlord’s contractors which
may be performing the work) in their “AS-IS” condition at the time of such tender.


 


4. The term “building
standard” shall mean standard build out finishes for premises leased in the Project as established by Landlord from time
to time.


 


5. Landlord agrees
to install, supply and otherwise undertake to do the work contemplated by the Construction Documents, at Landlord’s cost
up to the amount of $36.50 per square foot of the Premises ($3,046,655.00) (the “Improvement Allowance”) utilizing
a contractor chosen by Landlord; provided that Landlord shall require its contractor to obtain competitive bids from at least three
(3) independent subcontractors for any costs in excess of $50,000. The selected contractor shall contract for such work directly
with the Landlord. If Landlord (or Landlord’s contractors) agrees to perform at Tenant’s request and upon submission
by Tenant of necessary plans and specifications, any additional work over and above the Plans or the Improvement Allowance, such
work shall be performed by Landlord (or Landlord’s contractors) at Tenant’s sole expense. Prior to commencing any of
the foregoing work, Landlord will submit to Tenant written estimates of the cost of any such work. If Tenant shall fail to approve
any such estimates within ten (10) business days from the date of submission thereof in writing by Landlord, then same shall be
deemed disapproved in all respects by Tenant, and Landlord shall not be authorized to proceed thereon. Prior to Landlord’s
(or Landlord’s contractors) commencing any such work, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or make financial arrangements acceptable
in all respects to Landlord to pay for) the amount by which the approved estimated costs exceeds the Improvement Allowance.


 


6. Except where such
entry would (in Landlord’s reasonable determination) cause difficulty, burden or interference with the construction of the
any part of the Premises, Landlord will permit Tenant and its agents to enter the Premises prior to Landlord’s Tender (as
hereinafter defined), in order that Tenant may perform, through its own contracts, such other work and decorations in the Premises
prior to Landlord’s Tender; provided, however, this is conditioned upon (a) Tenant’s workmen and mechanics working
in harmony and not interfering with the work progress of Landlord (or Landlord’s contractors) engaged in the performance
of the work, (b) such workmen and mechanics being an approved contractor of Landlord prior to proceeding with the work, (c) such
workmen and mechanics furnishing evidence of insurance acceptable in all respects to Landlord prior to proceeding with the work;
(d) such workmen and such work otherwise complying with the provisions of this Lease; and (e) any work creating noise, vibrations,
or odors shall be conducted during hours designated by Landlord. If at any time such workmen and contractors fail to meet these
conditions, this license may be withdrawn by Landlord immediately upon notice to Tenant. Such entry shall be subject to all of
the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Lease, except as to the covenant to pay Rent. Landlord (or Landlord’s
contractors) shall not be liable in any way for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant’s installations
or decoration, even if the same is caused in whole or in part by the negligence (but
not the gross negligence) of Landlord or Landlord’s Permittees.


 


7. The term “Landlord’s
Tender” shall mean the date on which Landlord tenders the Premises to Tenant with the work contemplated by the Construction
Documents substantially complete, as reasonably determined by Landlord obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises, subject
only to minor punch-list or corrective items; provided, however, that in the event any Tenant Delays are the sole cause of a delay
in Landlord’s Tender, then the Commencement Date shall nevertheless occur as if there were no Tenant Delays. The existence
of construction work in other portions of the Project shall not affect the determination of the date of substantial completion
of the Premises. The term “Tenant Delays” shall mean delays in the design, engineering and construction of the
leasehold improvements, or approval or submission of Plans, caused by Tenant, Tenant’s permittees, or caused by any engineer,
architect, consultant, contractor, sub-contractor, materialmen, vendor or supplier of Tenant.


 


8. All work performed
by Tenant shall be done in a manner which does not interfere with completion of any work being done by Landlord or other tenants
or occupants of the Project or with the use of the Project by Landlord, other tenants, occupants or guests, and all such work shall
be in compliance with all rules and regulations established by Landlord, any governmental authority, any insurance company insuring
Landlord or Tenant, and otherwise in full compliance with the other provisions of the Lease. Tenant warrants that (i) all leasehold
improvements by Tenant shall have been fully and finally completed, (ii) all of Tenant’s contractors, sub-contractors, materialmen,
vendors and suppliers shall have been paid (as evidenced by full and final lien waivers and releases if required by Landlord),
and (iii) all documents required by Landlord in connection with the construction of the leasehold improvements shall have been
executed, completed, and received by Landlord, all to Landlord’s satisfaction, prior to the Commencement Date.

SECURITY GUIDELINES


FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDING OCCUPANTS


 


In cooperation with the Texas Building
Owners & Managers Association, the management would like you to be aware of some important guidelines for the safety of you,
your employees, and your property. These suggestions have been approved by the Texas Police Association and the Sheriffs Association
of Texas. We recommend that you consider following these guidelines, in addition to other common sense safety practices. You may
want to distribute copies of these guidelines to your employees.


 


While inside Your Office...


 


		1.	Lock your office entry doors at closing time.



 


		2.	Keep office entry doors locked when any of your office
employees are there after normal hours working.



 


		3.	Be careful to whom you give or lend your keys to your
office.



 


		4.	Do not put markings on your office key to identify your
name or address. Ask your employees who have office keys to make sure they are not identified as such on their personal key rings.



 


		5.	Evaluate the necessity of rekeying entry door locks when
an employee resigns or is fired.



 


		6.	Keep the phone numbers for emergency medical services,
police, and building security handy at each telephone station in your office.



 


		7.	Immediately report to the management office any needed
repairs of locks, latches, doors or windows. 8 Immediately report to the management office any malfunction of other items affecting
safety, such as burned out lights in stairwells, hallways and parking lots, etc.



 


		9.	Immediately report any suspicious persons or activity
to the management office or building security.



 


		10.	Mark or engrave identification on valuable office equipment.
Use security cables for computers. Keep purses in drawers, under desks or elsewhere out of sight.



 


		11.	If it is after dark and there are few persons in the
parking lot, consider the advisability of having fellow employees escort ladies to their vehicles.



 


While in Your Car...


 


		12.	Lock your car doors while driving. Lock your car doors
and roll up the windows when leaving your car parked.



 


		13.	Whenever possible, do not leave any visible items in
your car such as audio tapes, wrapped packages, briefcases, purses, etc.



 


		14.	Do not leave your keys in the car.



 


		15.	Carry your key ring in your hand while walking to your
car...whether you are at home, school, work or on vacation.



 


		16.	Consider recommending that all employees carry a small
canister of tear gas or mace in their car or in their purse.



 


		17.	Whenever possible, park your car in an off-street parking
area rather than on the street. If parking on the street, park close to any nearby street light.



 


		18.	Remember to check the back seat before getting into your
car.



 


		19.	Do not stop at gas stations or automatic teller machines
in questionable areas of town or at night if there is any suspicion of danger.



 


There is no such thing as a fail-safe
security system. Even the most elaborate of security precautions (such as alarm systems, security guards, patrol cars and electronic
gates) are not guaranties against crime. You should always proceed as if such security systems did not exist. All systems are subject
to mechanical malfunctions, tampering, human error and personnel absenteeism. Owner makes no express or implied warranties of security.
The best safety measures you can take are the ones you yourself can perform as a matter of common sense and habit. Please carefully
consider and follow these safety suggestions and “help take a bite out of crime”.

RENEWAL TERM


 


Tenant, but not any
assignee or subtenant of Tenant, is granted the option to extend the Term for one (1) consecutive extended term of five (5) years
(the “Renewal Term”), provided (a) Tenant is not in default at the time of exercise of the respective option,
and (b) Tenant gives written notice of its exercise of the respective option at least nine (9) months, but no more than twelve
(12) months, prior to the expiration of the original Term. The Renewal Term shall be upon the same terms and conditions, except
(i) Tenant shall have no further right of renewal after the Renewal Term, and (ii) the monthly Base Rent will be equal to the Market
Rental Rate (as defined below). Tenant shall continue to be responsible for Tenant’s pro rata share of Additional Expenses
during the Renewal Term, if exercised by the Tenant.


 


If Tenant exercises
its option to extend the Term, as set forth herein, the Base Rent for the Premises throughout the Renewal Term shall be equal to
the Market Rental Rate (as hereinafter defined) in effect at the commencement of such Renewal Term. For purposes of this Lease,
the term “Market Rental Rate” shall be defined as the rate of annual base rent being charged to tenants whose renewal
terms have commenced within the preceding six months, for terms of similar length for comparable space in comparably classed buildings
in the Cedar Park market. Landlord shall reasonably determine the Market Rental Rate for the Renewal Term and give Tenant notice
thereof within thirty (30) days following receipt of Tenant’s exercise notice (the “Rental Notice”). If
Tenant shall dispute the proposed rental rate it shall notify Landlord in writing within ten (10) days following receipt of the
Rental Notice (the “Dispute Notice”), and the parties shall negotiate in good faith for thirty (30) days to
determine a mutually agreeable Market Rental Rate (“Negotiation Period”). If the parties cannot agree upon the
Market Rental Rate and concessions within such thirty (30) day Negotiation Period, the Market Rental Rate shall be determined by
a board of three (3) licensed real estate salesmen, one of whom shall be named by Landlord, one by Tenant, and the third shall
be selected by the two so appointed. Each member of the board of brokers shall be licensed in the State of Texas as a real estate
salesmen, specializing in the field of commercial office leasing in the business district in which the Premises is located, having
no less than ten (10) years’ experience in such field, and recognized as ethical and reputable within the field. Landlord
and Tenant agree to make their appointments promptly within five (5) business days after expiration of the thirty (30) day Negotiation
Period, or sooner if mutually agreed upon. The three (3) brokers selected by Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to
reach agreement on the Market Rental Rate. If the brokers so selected are not able to reach agreement on the Market Rental Rate
within five (5) business days after the last such broker is appointed, each broker, within fifteen (15) days after the third broker
is selected, shall submit his or her determination of said Market Rental Rate. The Market Rental Rate shall be the mean of the
two closest rental rate determinations. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the fee of the broker selected by it, and they shall
equally share the payment of the fee of the third broker. If such determination shall not be concluded prior to the commencement
of the Renewal Term, then the initial Base Rent for the Renewal Term shall be the rate proposed by Landlord in the Rental Notice,
which rate shall remain in effect until a ruling is reached by the appointed brokers, and if the determination shall result in
a lower rent, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the next succeeding installments of Base Rent due hereunder for such
overpayment as it shall have theretofore made. If the determination shall result in a higher rent, Tenant shall within ten (10)
days thereafter pay to Landlord the amount of the underpayment. Upon the determination of the Base Rent, Landlord and Tenant shall
enter into an agreement supplementary to the Lease, as amended, setting forth the applicable Base Rent for the Renewal Term, but
the failure to enter into any such supplementary agreement shall not affect the exercise of Tenant’s Renewal Term herein.
