	 	(5)	RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. As long as Tenant is not in default and Tenant has not been in monetary default two (2) times during the term then Tenant shall have an ongoing right of first refusal
(“ROFR”) to lease up to 9,562 square feet on the first (1st) floor; provided, however, that Landlord shall be obligated and entitled to comply with any rights of existing tenants. Tenant’s right of first refusal may be exercised
only upon Landlord’s presentation to Tenant of a third party’s offer (“Offer”) to lease ROFR space containing the relevant terms satisfactory to Landlord. Upon receipt of such Offer, Tenant shall have seven (7) days in which
to accept or reject said Offer (a failure to respond within said period shall be deemed a rejection). 

 Should Tenant reject
said Offer, Landlord shall be relieved of any further rights of first offer; should Tenant accept said Offer, Landlord will within five (5) business days, prepare an amendment to the Lease (the “Amendment”) reflecting the third
party’s terms and Tenant will execute the Amendment within ten (10) days following the receipt of such Amendment. 
 The
commencement date of the ROFR space shall be the earlier of (i) the third party’s commencement date or (ii) thirty (30) days after the execution of the Amendment. 

This ROFR shall (a) be subject to the Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s current financial conditions of Tenant being that of the
same or better quality as of the date of the signing of the Lease and (b) shall not be valid if Tenant has subleased or assigned any portion of the Leased Premises. Landlord agrees to offer the ROFR premises on the first floor at the same rate
as the outlined herein with a tenant improvement allowance of $15.00 per square foot. The allowance shall be pro-rated based on the remaining term of the lease at the time of Tenant’s exercise of said right. 

 

	 	(6)	LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS. Landlord shall tender and Tenant shall accept the Combined Leased Premises “AS-IS” CONDITION, with all FAULTS, and without any warranty, express, implied, or statutory
(including implied warranties of habitability, suitability, condition, and fitness for a particular purpose, all of which are hereby disclaimed). 


Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with an allowance of $10.00 per square foot which shall be used for improvements to the Combined Premises.
Tenant shall have the right to utilize the $10.00 per RSF at any time during the Term. In the event Tenant utilizes the $10.00 per RSF allowance within the first eighteen (18) months of the Term and then elects to terminate the lease, Tenant
shall reimburse the Landlord the unamortized portion of the allowance. In addition, Tenant shall have the right to cross-utilize the allowance for the Combined Leased Premises towards any expansion space Tenant may elect to lease within the Building
at its option. Landlord and Tenant mutual agree the Tenant Improvement Allowance may not be applied to Termination Penalty Fee. 
  

	 	(7)	TERMINATION OPTION: Tenant shall have a one-time option to terminate the Lease with a penalty consisting of unamortized tenant improvement and leasing commissions plus one month of Base Rent
(“Termination Penalty Fee”) on the last day of the eighteenth (18th) month of the term (“Termination Date”). Tenant will have the right to terminate the Lease with respect to the entire Premises (“Termination
Option”) upon not less than nine (9) months prior written notice to Landlord. If Tenant does not exercise its option to terminate upon the Termination Date, then Tenant will have waived its right to terminate and the Lease will remain in
full force and effect. Payment of the penalty shall be due and payable simultaneously with Tenant’s written notice of intent to terminate or Tenant’s termination rights shall be null and void. 


 

	 	(8)	CONFIDENTIALITY. Tenant shall not, at any time either during or subsequent to the negotiations of a Lease and/or Lease Amendment between Landlord and Tenant, disclose to any person or entity any of the
contents of the negotiations between Landlord and Tenant, if a Lease and/or Lease Amendment is entered into between Landlord and Tenant, any terms of the Lease. 

  

	 	(8)	 BROKERS. Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this
Amendment except MRIO, Inc. (on behalf of the Landlord) and Cushman & Wakefield (on behalf of the Tenant), and that it knows of no other real estate

brokers or agents who are or might be entitled to a commission in connection with this Amendment. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any liability or claim
arising in respect to any other brokers or agents claiming a commission in connection with this Amendment through Tenant. Landlord agrees to pay Tenant’s broker a commission based on a separate agreement.

of Delaware, (ii) Tenant has and is qualified to do business in Texas, (iii) Tenant has the full right and authority to enter into this Amendment, and (iv) each person signing on behalf of Tenant was and continues to be authorized to

Amendment, this Amendment shall control.
