Agreement (“Lease”) is made and entered into in on this the 30th day of September, 2009 (the “Effective Date”) by and between CONTROL AND INSTRUMENTATION HOLDING COMPANY, LTD,
A TEXAS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (“Lessor”), and ECONTROLS, LLC, A TEXAS LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (“Lessee”). 

R E C I T A L S 

A. Lessor has agreed to lease to Lessee the property located at 3523 Crosspoint, San Antonio, Texas 78217 (the “Real Property”) and
more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof. 
 B. Lessor and Lessee are
willing to enter into this Lease for the foregoing purposes, all subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. This Lease expressly supplants and supersedes any prior lease for the Real Property and Demised Premises (hereinafter defined).

 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and with the recitals above incorporated herein, Lessor
and Lessee agree as follows: 
 1. DEMISED PREMISES. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee the Real Property, together with all improvements
located thereon (collectively, the “Demised Premises”). 
 2. LEASE TERM. This Lease shall begin on the Effective Date and
shall continue until December 31, 2014, such term being defined herein as the “Term”. Provided Lessee is not in default under this Lease, Lessee shall have the option to extend for Term for an unlimited number of successive one
(1) year periods on the same terms and conditions set forth herein (each, an “Extension Option”). Lessee must exercise each Extension Option by written notice to Lessor on or before sixty (60) days prior to expiration of
the Term, as same may have been previously extended. 
 3. RENT. As base rent for the Demised Premises, beginning on the Effective
Date and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter during the first two years of the Term, Lessee will pay to Lessor the monthly sum of $17,347.00. The base rent shall be increased on the second anniversary of the Effective Date and every
two years thereafter to an amount equal to the “Fair Market Value” of rental amounts of comparable properties in the area of the Real Property. In the event the Effective Date falls on a day other than the first day of a month,
Lessee’s first base rent payment shall be prorated accordingly. In addition to such base rent, within ten (10) business days following receipt of an invoice from Lessor, Lessee shall pay, as additional rent, to the extent not paid directly
by Lessee, the cost of Lessor’s insurance on the Demised Premises as provided in Section 10, all real property taxes on the Demised Premises, and all utility, repair and maintenance expenses incurred by Lessor to the extent not covered by
the insurance carried by Lessor under this Lease. It is intended by the parties hereto that this Lease is a “net” Lease. Lessor and Lessee shall attempt in good faith to agree as to Fair Market Value. In the event Lessor and Lessee cannot
so agree within twenty (20) days after such discussions commence, Lessor and Lessee shall each select one real estate broker licensed in the state of where the Demised Premises is located (collectively, the “Brokers”) within ten
(10) days 

  
 1 








 
after the twenty (20) day period stated above; following which Brokers shall attempt in good faith to determine the Fair Market Value. In the event the Brokers cannot so agree within twenty
(20) days after such discussion commence, the Brokers shall select a third real estate broker licensed in the state where the Demised Premises is located (“Third Broker”) within ten (10) days after the twenty (20) day period
stated above. Each of the Brokers shall submit their figure for Fair Market Value to the Third Broker within ten (10) days after the selection of the Third Broker. Within twenty (20) days after such submittals to the Third Broker, the
Third Broker shall produce its own figure for Fair Market Value. The Fair Market Value for shall be conclusively determined by averaging the Third Broker’s determination of Fair Market Value with that determination previously submitted by the
Brokers which is numerically closest to the Third Broker’s determination. 
 4. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay when due all utility
bills for electricity, water, gas and any other services consumed by Lessee at the Demised Premises. In no event shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for an interruption or failure in the supply of any such utilities to the Demised Premises, except to
the extent such interruption or failure is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor. 
 5. LAWS. Throughout the
term of this Lease, the Lessee will promptly observe and comply with all laws, orders, regulations, rules and ordinances required by each and every governmental authority. 

6. USE. Lessee will use the Demised Premises solely for manufacturing and ancillary office and warehouse purposes thereto.

condition, subject to normal wear and tear, all non-structural components of the Demised Premises, including interior wall finishes, carpet or other flooring, and windows. In the event Lessee or Lessor fails to so maintain the applicable elements of
the Demises Premises as set forth hereinabove, after ten (10) days prior notice from the other party, or such other period of time as may be reasonable to perform such repair and maintenance, provided such party promptly commences and
diligently pursues same to completion, the other party may perform such maintenance or repair, and the party that failed to so maintain the applicable elements of the Demises Premises shall pay the costs incurred by the other party within ten
(10) business days upon receipt of invoice.
