or authority, by other tenants of the Office Building or any other matter beyond the control of
Landlord.



(b) Landlord’s liability to Tenant for any default by Landlord under the Lease or for any other
claim arising out of Tenant’s occupancy, possession or use of the Leased Premises shall be limited

Premises without Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Sale, transfer, or merger of the majority of the voting shares or voting partnership
interests in Tenant (if a corporation or partnership) shall be considered an assignment; likewise
for issuance of treasury stock or admission of a new general partner. However, if Landlord gives
such approval, Landlord shall be entitled to (1) the excess between Tenant’s rental per square
foot under the lease and the rental per square foot under the sublease or assignment, and (2) any
other consideration flowing directly or indirectly from the subtenant or assignee to Tenant or
Tenant’s agents provided that Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from the sum of (1) and (2) an
amount equal to Tenant’s actual reasonable out of pocket expenses paid to third parties in
connection with the assignment or sublease including construction, commission and legal expenses.
The foregoing is in consideration of additional management performed or to be performed by
Landlord under such sublease or assignment. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord may charge
Tenant a one-time fee equal to one month’s lease rental for such additional administrative,
investigative, and management services. Violation of this lease by subtenants or assignees shall
be deemed a violation by Tenant. Approval by Landlord of any sublease or assignment shall not
release Tenant from any obligation under this lease and shall not constitute approval for
subsequent subletting or assignment. Subtenants or assignees shall be liable for all of Tenant’s
obligations under this lease unless otherwise specified in writing. Upon default by Tenant any
subtenant shall pay all sublease rentals and other sums due Landlord, direct to




-7-









 








Landlord, to be credited against sums owed to Landlord by Tenant under this lease. Unless otherwise
agreed in writing, no sublease or assignment shall be valid unless (1) a copy of this lease is
attached thereto, (2) the subtenant or assignee agrees in writing to be liable for all of Tenant’s
obligations under this lease, and (3) Landlord’s written approval is attached to the sublease or
assignment.



16.1. DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY. (a) Total destruction, rent abatement, and
restoration. If Tenant’s Office Space is totally damaged by fire or other casualty so that it cannot reasonably be
used by Tenant and if this lease is not terminated as provided in subparagraph (d) below, there
shall be a total abatement of Tenant’s rent and Tenant’s obligation to pay Office Building
Operating Expenses until Tenant’s Office Space is restored by Landlord and Tenant.



(b) Partial destruction, rent abatement, and restoration. If Tenant’s Office Space is partially
destroyed or damaged by fire or other hazard so that it can be only partially used by Tenant for
the purposes allowed in this lease and if this lease is not terminated as provided in subparagraph
(d) below, there shall be a partial abatement of Tenant’s rent and Tenant’s obligation to pay
Office Building Operating Expenses which fairly and reasonably corresponds to the time and extent
to which Tenant’s Office Space cannot reasonably be used by Tenant.



(c) Restoration. Landlord’s obligation to restore shall be limited to the condition of the Leased
Premises as constructed by Landlord or as otherwise delivered to Tenant by Landlord on the
commencement date . Landlord shall proceed with diligence to restore the Leased Premises to its
condition on the commencement date. Landlord shall not be liable for or responsible for repair or
replacement of furniture, fixtures or equipment placed on the Leased Premises by Tenant. During
restoration, Tenant shall continue business to the extent practical in Tenant’s reasonable
judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any mortgagee under a deed of trust, security
agreement or mortgage on the Office Building should require that any insurance proceeds be used to
retire mortgage debt, Landlord shall not be required to rebuild and this Lease shall terminate
effective on the date of such casualty.



(d) Lease termination. If Tenant’s Office Space or the Office Building is so badly damaged that
restoration and repairs cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the fire or
casualty, then this lease may be terminated by Landlord or Tenant as of the date of the destruction
by Landlord by serving written notice upon the other party. Termination notice must be delivered
within 30 days after the casualty. In the event neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate the
Lease, Landlord shall be obligated to restore the Leased Premises pursuant to subparagraph (c)
above.



17.1. CONDEMNATION. If any part of Tenant’s Office Space is taken by condemnation or by deed in
lieu of condemnation by any governmental authority, this lease shall terminate one day prior to
such taking. If any part of the Office Building’s parking building is so taken, Tenant’s right to
use such portion shall terminate one day prior to such taking; and Tenant’s rent shall be reduced
only to the extent that such partial taking reduces the fair market value of Tenant’s Office
Space. Landlord shall pay all costs associated with construction reasonably necessary to render
the Leased Premises usable for Tenant’s permitted purposes after such partial taking. All
compensation awarded for any partial or total taking of the Property shall be the property of
Landlord. If Landlord has received written notice of intent to condemn, Tenant shall upon ten (10)
days written request by Landlord execute an acknowledgement that the lease terminates one day
prior to the condemnation or deed in lieu of condemnation and that Tenant claims no interest in
the condemnation award. Landlord shall have no interest in any monies paid by the condemning
authorities to Tenant for Tenant’s leasehold estate, moving costs or for the other personal
property within the Leased Premises (excluding leasehold improvements) if a separate award for
such items is made to Tenant.



18.1. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. If Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within
thirty (30) days following written notice from Tenant specifying such failure, or if such failure
cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) days and Landlord fails to diligently prosecute
the curing of such failure until completion, then Tenant’s exclusive remedy shall be an action for
damages.



19.1. DEFAULT BY TENANT. If Tenant defaults, Landlord shall have any or all remedies set forth
below.



(a) Definition of default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by
Tenant: (1) failure to pay rent or any other sum due by Tenant under this lease; (2) failure to
vacate on or before the last day of the lease term, renewal term, or extension period; (3) failure
to pay rent in advance on a daily basis in the event of unlawful holdover by Tenant; (4)
unauthorized early move-out or notice of same as set forth below; (5) acquisition of Tenant’s
interest




-8-









 








in the lease by a third party by judicial or non-judicial process; or (6) failure to comply with
any other provision of the lease (including rules). However, Tenant shall not be in default under
subclause (6) above if Tenant promptly commences to cure such noncompliance and diligently proceeds
in good faith to cure same after receiving written notice of such default.



(b) Door Locks. If Tenant is in default for nonpayment of rent or other sums due and if Tenant
fails to pay same in full within three (3) days after Landlord delivers to Tenant or to Tenant’s
Office Space written demand or notice of nonpayment, then Landlord shall be entitled to change or
modify door locks on all entry doors of Tenant’s Office Space until all such sums are paid in full;
provided, however, Landlord shall immediately thereafter post a notice on the primary entry door to
Tenant’s Office Space, stating that Landlord has expressed such lockout rights. No other notice
requirements or lockout laws shall apply. Landlord’s right to modify or change locks shall occur
automatically and without notice if Tenant’s rent is accelerated under subparagraph (e) below,
relating to unlawful early move-out. If Tenant moves out or abandons Tenant’s Office Space for ten
(10) consecutive days, Landlord may permanently change the locks without notice to Tenant, and
Tenant shall not be entitled to a key or to reentry.



(c) Utilities and services. If Tenant is in default for nonpayment of rent or other sums due and if
Tenant fails to pay same in full within three (3) days after Landlord hand delivers to Tenant or to
Tenant’s representative written notice of Landlord’s intent to terminate utilities or services
which are furnished by Landlord, then Landlord may terminate such utilities or services after such
three (3) day notice period, without further notice. Landlord’s right to terminate such utilities
or services shall occur automatically and without notice if Tenant’s rent is accelerated under
subparagraph (e) below, relating to unlawful early move-out.



(d) Acceleration after notice of rental delinquency. If Tenant is in default for nonpayment of rent
or other sums due and if Tenant fails to pay same in full within three (3) days after Landlord
delivers to Tenant or to Tenant’s Office Space a written notice of Landlord’s intent to accelerate,
then all rent for the remainder of the lease term shall be accelerated, due, and delinquent at the
end of such three (3) day notice period without further demand or notice. Such acceleration rights
are in consideration of the rentals for the entire term being payable in monthly installments
rather than in one lump sum at the beginning of the lease term. If Tenant has already vacated the
Leased Premises, notice of acceleration may be delivered to Tenant pursuant to paragraph 29.1.
Liability for additional rents accruing in the future (over and above any Base Rents) shall not be
waived by such acceleration.



(e) Acceleration upon early move-out. If Tenant is lawfully evicted, or if Tenant moves out or
gives verbal or written notice (in person or by an employee or agent) of intent to move-out prior
to the end of the lease term without the rent being paid in full for the entire remainder of the
lease term or renewal or extension period or without prior written consent of Landlord, all
remaining rents for the remainder of the lease term shall be accelerated immediately and
automatically, without demand or notice. Such accelerated rents shall be due and delinquent without
notice before or after such acceleration. Such acceleration shall occur even if the rent for the
current month has been paid in full.



(f) Termination of possession. If Tenant is in default as defined in subparagraph (a) above and if
Tenant remains in default for three (3) days after Landlord gives notice of such default to Tenant,
or if Tenant abandons the Leased Premises, Landlord may (with or without demand for performance)
terminate Tenant’s right of possession by giving one day’s written notice to vacate; and Landlord
shall be entitled to immediate possession without termination of Tenant’s obligations under the
lease. Landlord’s repossession shall not be considered an election to terminate this lease unless
written notice of such intention to terminate is given to Tenant by Landlord. Repossession may be
by voluntary agreement or by eviction lawsuit. Commencement of an eviction lawsuit shall not
preclude other Landlord remedies under this lease or other laws.



(g) Reletting costs. if Tenant is in default as defined in subparagraph (a) above and if Landlord
terminates Tenant’s right of possession without terminating this lease, Tenant shall pay upon
Landlord’s demand the following: (1) all costs of reletting (which in no event shall be less than
one month’s rent), including leasing commissions, rent concessions (whether in the form of assuming
or buying out lease remainders elsewhere, free rent for a period of time, or reduced rental rates),
utilities during the vacancy, advertising costs, administrative overhead, and all costs of repair,
remodeling, or redecorating for replacement tenants in Tenant’s Office Space, (2) all rent and
other indebtedness due from Tenant to Landlord through the date of termination of Tenant’s right of
possession, and (3) all rent and other sums required to be paid by Tenant during the remainder of
the entire lease term, subject to the acceleration paragraphs above.



-9-









 





(h) Termination of Lease. Landlord may terminate this lease (as contrasted to termination of
possession rights only) upon default by Tenant or at any time after Landlord’s lawful re-entry or
repossession following default by Tenant. Landlord’s agents have authority to terminate the Lease
only by written notice given pursuant to paragraph 29.1.



(i) Re-Entry, Waiver and Damages. No re-entry or taking possession of the Leased Premises by
Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this lease, unless a written
notice of such intention is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such reletting or re-entry or
taking possession, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this lease for a
previous default. Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of
the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law, nor shall pursuit of any
remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord hereunder or
of any damages occurring to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions
and covenants herein contained. Landlord’s acceptance of rent following an event of default
hereunder shall not be construed as Landlord’s waiver of such event of default. No waiver by
Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained
shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or default. The loss or
damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of termination of this lease or the deficiency from any
reletting as provided for above shall include the expense of repossession and any repairs or
remodeling undertaken by Landlord following repossession. Should Landlord at any time terminate
this lease for any default, in addition to any other remedy Landlord may have, Landlord may
recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by reason of such default, including the cost
of recovering the Leased Premises and the loss of rental for the remainder of the lease term.
Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate damages, except for as required by Texas law.



20.1. LIEN FOR RENT. Tenant gives to Landlord a contractual lien on all of Tenant’s property which
may be found on the Leased Premises to secure payment of all monies and damages owed by Tenant
under the Lease. Such lien also covers all insurance proceeds on such property. Tenant shall not
remove such property while rent or other sums remain due and unpaid to Landlord and such property
shall not be removed until all Tenant’s obligations under the Lease have been complied with. This
lien is in addition to Landlord’s statutory lien under Section 54.021 of the Texas Property Code.
If Tenant is in default for nonpayment of rent or any other sums due by Tenant, Landlord’s
representatives may peacefully enter the Leased Premises and remove and store all property. If
Landlord removes any property under this lien, Landlord shall leave the following information in a
conspicuous place inside Tenant’s Office Space: (1) written notice of exercise of lien, (2) a list
of items removed, (3) the name of Landlord’s representative who removed such items, and (4) the
date of such removal. Landlord shall be entitled to reasonable charges for packing, removing, or
storing abandoned or seized property, and may sell same at public or private sale (subject to any
properly recorded chattel mortgage or recorded financing statement) after 30 days’ written notice
of time and place of sate is given to Tenant by certified mail, return receipt requested. Upon
request by Landlord, Tenant shall acknowledge the above lien rights by executing a UCC-1 form or
similar form reflecting same. Upon Tenant’s request Landlord shall subordinate its liens against
Tenant’s property to a third party lien holder with a first lien against such property.



21.1. ATTORNEY’S FEES, INTEREST, AND OTHER EXPENSES. If Tenant or Landlord is in default and if
the nondefaulting party places the Lease in the hands of an attorney in order to enforce lease
rights or remedies, the nondefaulting party may recover reasonable attorney’s fees from the
defaulting party even if suit has not been filed. In any lawsuit enforcing lease rights, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees from the nonprevailing
party, plus all out-of-pocket expenses. Ail delinquent sums due by Landlord or Tenant shall bear
interest at the maximum lawful rate of interest, compounded annually, from date of default until
paid, plus any late payment fees. Late payment fees as set forth in paragraph 3.2 shall be
considered reasonable liquidated damages for the time, trouble, inconvenience, and administrative
overhead expense incurred by Landlord in collecting late rentals, such elements of damages being
uncertain and difficult to ascertain. Late payment fees shall not be liquidated damages for
attorney’s fees or for Landlord’s loss of use of such funds during the time of delinquency.



22.1. NONWAIVER. The acceptance of monies past due or the failure to complain of any action,
nonaction, delayed payment, or default, whether singular or repetitive, shall not constitute a
waiver of rights or obligations under the Lease. Landlord’s or Tenant’s waiver of any right or any
default shall not constitute waiver of other rights, violations, defaults, or subsequent rights,
violations, or defaults under this Lease. No act or omission by Landlord or Landlord’s agents
shall be deemed an acceptance of surrender by Tenant of the Leased Premises, and no agreement by
Landlord to accept a surrender of the Leased Premises shall be valid unless it is in writing and
signed by a duly authorized agent of Landlord.




-10-









 








23.1. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Landlord and Tenant shall each comply with all laws, ordinances, rules
and regulations (state, federal, municipal and other agencies or bodies having any jurisdiction
hereof, relating to the use, condition or occupancy of the Office Building and the Leased
Premises.) If the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”) now or hereafter applies to
the Leased Premises, Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, be responsible for (a) complying
with all aspects of the ADA governing design or construction of any improvements or alterations to
the Leased Premises now or hereafter made by Tenant and (b) comply with all other aspects of the
ADA applicable to Tenant’s business upon the Leased Premises. If the ADA now or hereafter applies
to the Office Building of which the Leased Premises are a part, Landlord shall, at its sole cost
and expense, be responsible for (i) compliance with all aspects of the ADA governing design or
construction of any improvements or alterations to the Office Building (other than the Leased
Premises) now or hereafter made by Landlord, and (ii) compliance with all other aspects of the ADA
applicable to the Office Building (other than the Leased Premises). Each party (for purposes of
this paragraph (“Indemnitor”) hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless and defend the other,
its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents from and against any and ail claims,
suits, damages, fines, penalties, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and other related charges of outside counsel) resulting from or arising out of or in connection
with any failure by the Indemnitor to comply with its obligations pursuant to this paragraph. In
the event either party fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 23.1 and such failure
continues for a period of thirty (30) days following delivery of written notice from the other
party, such failure shall constitute an event of default under this Lease, but shall not entitle
the non-defaulting party to pursue any special cause of action, remedies or damages under the ADA.



23.2 COMPLIANCE WITH RULES OF OFFICE BUILDING. Tenant will comply with the rules of the Office
Building adopted by Landlord which are set forth in Exhibit F-2 attached hereto. Separate parking
rules are contained in Exhibit F-1. Landlord shall have the right, if necessary, to change such
rules and regulations or amend them in any reasonable manner and for preservation of good order
therein, all of which changes and amendments will be sent by Landlord to Tenant in writing and
shall be thereafter carried out and observed by Tenant. Tenant shall further be responsible for
the compliance with such rules and regulations by its employees, servants, authorized agents,
visitors and invitees.



24.1. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP BY LANDLORD. If Landlord transfers ownership of the Property (other
than as security for a mortgage) and if Landlord has delivered to the transferee all of Tenant’s
security deposits and any prepaid rents, Landlord shall be released from all liability under the
Lease; and such transferee shall become liable as Landlord. Such right to be released of liability
shall accrue to subsequent owners only if such transfer is in good faith and for consideration.



25.1. GROUND LEASES; MORTGAGES. (a) This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and
future ground and underlying leases of the Property and to the lien of any mortgages or trust
deeds, now or hereafter enforced against the Property, and to all renewals, extensions,
modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to
be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds. Tenant shall simultaneously with the
execution hereof execute a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit L. In the event of execution by Landlord after the date of this Lease
of any mortgage, deed of trust, security instrument, ground or primary lease, renewal, replacement
or extension, Tenant agrees to execute a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement
with the holder thereof in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L.



     This Lease is further subject and subordinate to: (x) all applicable ordinances of the city
of San Antonio and all easements, franchises, and other interests or rights upon, across or
pertinent to the Property; and (y) all utility easements and agreements.



(b) Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing provisions of paragraph 25.1 (a) above, any
such mortgagee or ground or primary lessor shall have the right at any time to subordinate any
such ground or primary leases or such deeds of trusts, mortgages or other security instruments to
this Lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as such ground or primary lessor or such
mortgagee may consider appropriate in its discretion. At any time, before or after the institution
of any proceedings for the foreclosure of any such deed of trusts, mortgages or any other security
instruments or sale of the Property under any such deeds and trusts, mortgages, or other security
instruments, or termination of any ground or primary lease, Tenant shall attorn to such ground or
primary lessor or such purchaser upon any sale or the grantee under a deed in lieu of foreclosure
and shall recognize any such ground or primary lessor, purchaser or grantee as Landlord under this
Lease. The agreement of Tenant to attorn contained in the immediately




-11-









 








preceding sentence shall survive any such termination of ground or primary lease, foreclosure sale,
trustee sale or conveyance in lieu thereof. Tenant shall upon demand at any time, before or after
such termination of ground or primary lease, foreclosure sale, trustee sale or conveyance in lieu
thereof, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord’s mortgagee or the ground or primary lessor
as, the case may be, any written instruments or certificates evidencing such attornment as
Landlord’s mortgagee or ground or primary lessor may be reasonably require.



26.1. SURRENDER OF PREMISES. When Tenant moves out, Tenant shall surrender Tenant’s Office Space
in the same condition as on the date of lease commencement by Tenant (as changed or improved from
time to time in accordance with this lease), less ordinary wear and
shall return all keys and/or
access cards. Removal of property from the Leased Premises is subject to paragraph 14.1 above.



27.1. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration or
mutually-agreed termination date of the Lease, without the execution by Landlord and Tenant of a
new lease or a renewal or extension of the Lease, then (1) Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying
the Leased Premises as a tenant-at-sufferance on a daily basis, subject to all obligations of the
Lease, (2) Tenant shall pay rent daily for the entire holdover period at a daily rate equal to
175% of the last monthly payment of Base Rent plus Additional Rent divided by thirty (30), (3)
Tenant shall be subject to all other remedies of Landlord as provided in paragraph 19.1, (4)
Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and/or prospective tenants for damages, including lost rentals,
storage expenses, and attorney’s fees, and (5) at Landlord’s sole option, Landlord may extend the
Lease term for a period of one month at the then current rental rates for the Office Building, as
reasonably determined by Landlord, by delivering written notice to Tenant or to Tenant’s Office
Space while Tenant is holding over. Holdover rents shall be immediately due on a daily basis and
delinquent without notice or demand; and the prior written notice and waiting period requirements
of this Lease shall not be necessary in order for Landlord to exercise remedies thereunder.



28.1. SIGNS AND BUILDING NAME. Except for standard suite signage and Office Building directory
listings, there shall be no signs, symbols, or identifying marks on or in the Office Building,
halls, elevators, staircases, entrances, parking areas, landscape areas, doors, walls, or windows
without prior written approval of Landlord. All signs or lettering shall conform to the sign and
lettering criteria established by Landlord. Unless otherwise stated in the rules, suite signage and
Office Building directory changes shall be done exclusively by Landlord and at Tenant’s expense.
Landlord may remove all unapproved signs without prior notice to Tenant and at Tenant’s expense.
Landlord may at any time change the name of the Office Building upon fifteen (15) days’ written
notice to Tenant.



28.2. TENANT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Prior to execution of the Lease and thereafter from time to time
(but not more frequently than two (2) times per twelve (12) month period), Tenant shall, upon
written request, furnish to Landlord a current statement of Tenant’s financial condition in a form
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. All financial statements shall be originally signed by Tenant
or Tenant’s certified public accountant. Tenant may satisfy the requirements of this Section 28.2
by providing Landlord with a copy of Tenant’s financial statements for Tenant’s most recently ended
fiscal year.



29.1. NOTICES. Whenever notice is required or permitted under this lease, such notice shall be in
writing and shall be either (a) delivered personally to the party being notified, (b) delivered to
or inside such party’s mailing address, or (c) delivered at such party’s mailing address by
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. The mailing address of Landlord shall
be the address to which Tenant normally mails or delivers the monthly rent unless Landlord
notifies Tenant of a different address in writing. The mailing address of Tenant shall be Tenant’s
Office Space under this lease. However, if Tenant moves out, it shall be Tenant’s last address
known by Landlord. Hand delivered notice is required only when expressly required in the Lease.
Notice by noncertified mail is sufficient if actually received by the addressee or an employee or
agent of addressee. The term “notice” shall be inclusive of notices, billings, requests, and
demands.



30.1. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. From time to time, upon seven (7) days’ prior written request from
Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord the estoppel certificate attached as
Exhibit G. The form in Exhibit G may be changed as reasonably required by a prospective purchaser
or lender. If any statement in the estoppel certificate form is contrary to the facts existing at
the time of execution of such form, Tenant may correct same before signing. The estoppel
certificate may be conclusively relied upon by Landlord and by any prospective lienholder or
purchaser of the Leased Premises. If Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing by the end of such
seven (7) day period, it shall be conclusively presumed that (1) this Lease is in full force and
effect without any subleases or assignments and is




-12-









 








unamended or modified except for amendments verified by affidavit of Landlord to the prospective
lienholder or purchaser, (2) no rents, or other charges except for security deposits, have been
prepaid, (3) the statements contained in the estoppel certificate form (Exhibit G) are correct, (4)
there are no uncured defaults by Landlord, (5) Tenant has no right of offset or rescission, and (6)
any prospective purchaser or lienholder may conclusively rely on such silence or noncompliance by
Tenant and may conclusively assume no Landlord defaults within the 120 days preceding Tenant’s
receipt of Landlord’s request for an estoppel certificate.



31.1. SUCCESSORS. This Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, any guarantors of
this Lease, and their respective successors and assigns.



31.2. LEASING AGENT COMMISSIONS. No leasing commission shall be due by Landlord to any leasing
agent unless in writing. Commission agreements executed by Landlord shall be binding on subsequent
Property owners if the tenant of the Lease in question is in possession at the time of transfer of
Property ownership.



32.1. BUILDING OPERATING EXPENSES. In addition to the monthly Base Rent in paragraph 2.1, Tenant
shall pay Additional Rent on a monthly basis, equivalent to Tenant’s prorata share of actual
Office Building Operating Expenses as per Exhibit C.



33.1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY LANDLORD. Landlord warrants that Landlord has full right
to enter into this Lease. Landlord’s duties and warranties are limited to those expressly stated
in this Lease and shall not include any implied duties or implied warranties, now or in the
future. No representations or warranties have been made by Landlord other than those expressly
contained in this Lease.



34.1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY TENANT. Tenant warrants to Landlord that (1) the financial
statements of Tenant heretofore furnished to Landlord are true and correct to the best of Tenant’s
knowledge, (2) there has been no significant adverse change in Tenant’s financial condition since
the date of the financial statements, (3) the financial statements fairly represent the financial
condition of Tenant upon those dates and at the time of execution hereof, (4) there are no
delinquent taxes due and unpaid by Tenant, and (5) Tenant and none of the officers or partners of
Tenant (if Tenant is a corporation or partnership) have ever declared bankruptcy. Tenant warrants
that Tenant has disclosed in writing to Landlord all lawsuits pending or threatened against
Tenant, and Tenant has made no material misrepresentation or material omission of facts regarding
Tenant’s financial condition or business operations. All financial statements must be dated and
signed by Tenant or Tenant’s certified public accountant. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has
relied on the above information furnished by Tenant to Landlord and that Landlord would not have
entered into this lease otherwise.



35.1. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this lease, all obligations under
this lease, including payment of rent and other sums due, shall be performed in San Antonio,
Texas, at the address designated from time to time by Landlord.



36.1. MISCELLANEOUS. This Lease contains the entire agreement of the parties. No other written or
oral promises or representations have been made, and none shall be binding. This Lease supersedes
and replaces any previous Lease between the parties on Tenant’s Office Space, including any
renewals or extensions thereunder. Except for reasonable changes in written rules, this Lease
shall not be amended or changed except by written instrument, signed by both Landlord and Tenant,
Landlord’s agents do not and will not have authority to (1) make exceptions, changes or amendments
to this Lease, or factual representations not expressly contained in this Lease, (2) waive any
right, requirement, or provision of this Lease, or (3) release Tenant from all or part of this
Lease, unless such action is in writing. Multiple tenants shall be jointly and severally liable
under this Lease. Notices, requests, or agreements to, from, or with one of multiple tenants shall
be deemed to be to, from, or with all such Tenants. Under no circumstances shall Landlord or
Tenant be considered an agent of the other. The Lease shall not be construed against either party
more or less favorably by reason of authorship or origin of language. Texas law applies. If any
date of performance or exercise of a right ends on a Saturday, Sunday, or state holiday, such date
shall be automatically extended through the next business day. Time is of the essence; and all
performance dates, time schedules, and conditions precedent to exercising a right shall be
strictly adhered to without delay except where otherwise expressly provided, if any provision of
this Lease is invalid under present or future laws, the remainder of this Lease shall not be
affected.

guarantors, if any, shall be pursuant to attached Exhibit H entitled “Lease Guaranty”. Such
guaranty shall continue and shall be unaffected by any modification or amendment to this lease or
any renewal or extension thereof. The signature requirements and corporate resolution requirements
for any guarantors shall conform to the requirements for Tenants in

BUILDING OPERATING EXPENSE PASS THROUGH CALCULATIONS

(see paragraphs 2.1 and 32.1 of lease)




A. In the event that during the term hereof the Office Building Operating Expenses adjusted as
necessary to reflect a 95% occupied Office Building during any Calendar Year shall exceed the
Office Building Operating Expenses during the Base Year adjusted as necessary to reflect a 95%
occupied Office Building, Lessee shall pay in addition to Base Rent as described in Paragraph 2,1
as Additional Rent its Proportionate Share of such excess. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Lease, Office Building Operating Expenses shall be adjusted upward only with regard to
those components of Office Building Operating Expenses that fluctuate with the occupancy level of
the Office Building, including, without limitation, janitorial services, janitorial supplies, trash
hauling, project maintenance, utilities (including, without limitation, water, sewer, and
electricity), and management fees. The following components of the Office Building Operating
Expenses shall be conclusively deemed not to fluctuate with the occupancy of the Office Building:
property taxes and assessments, amortized capital improvement costs, insurance premiums, pest
control, landscaping services, security services and costs associated with the operation and
maintenance of the parking garage area. Landlord shall be entitled to include any and all other
components of the Office Building Operating Expenses in the upward adjustment if Landlord
reasonably determines that such an inclusion is appropriate based on the relationship of such
components to the occupancy level of the Office Building.




B. As promptly as practical following the close of the Base Year and each Calendar Year thereafter,
Lessor shall furnish to Lessee, in reasonable detail, a schedule of the Office Building Operating
Expenses adjusted as necessary to reflect a 95% occupied Office Building for such year, including
the Base Rent. Failure of Lessee to notify Lessor in writing of any objections to the schedule of
Office Building Operating Expenses within thirty (30) days of receipt of the schedule by Lessee
shall conclusively constitute acceptance by Lessee of such schedule. In the event of a timely
objection by Lessee, Lessee shall have the right, at its expense and reasonable time, to review
Lessor’s Office Building Operating Expense invoices or checks relating to the year for which such
schedule was prepared. Lessor shall cause to be kept books and records showing Office Building
Operating Expenses in accordance with an appropriate system of accounts and accounting practices
consistently maintained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Lessor provide Lessee with an
audited schedule of Office Building Operating Expenses certified by an independent certified public
accountant, such schedule of Office Building Operating Expenses shall be deemed final and
conclusive on Lessee.



C. At such time as Lessor delivers the schedule of Office Building Operating Expenses for a year
other than the Base Year, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a computation notice setting forth:




1) the adjustment for the Additional Rent, if any, due Lessor resulting from the Office
Building Operating Expenses for the immediately preceding Calendar Year (“Lump Sum
Adjustment”);




2) an adjustment in the monthly Base Rent for the current Calendar Year resulting from the
Office Building Operating Expenses for the immediately preceding year (“Catch Up
Adjustment”); and




3) an adjustment in the monthly Base Rent for the current Calendar Year based upon
Landlord’s estimate of the increase in Office Building Operating Expenses for the current
Calendar Year (“Estimate Adjustment”).



-1-









 






	 	(a)	 	In determining the Lump Sum Adjustment for the immediately preceding
Calendar Year:






	 	(1)	 	a comparison shall be made between the Office
Building Operating Expenses for such Calendar Year and the Office
Building Operating Expenses for the immediately preceding Calendar
Year; and
	 
	 	(2)	 	a credit against the Lump Sum Adjustment
shall be provided Lessee for the Estimate Adjustment, if any, made by
Lessee, attributable to such Calendar Year. Lessee shall pay in full
the Lump Sum Adjustment attributable to the previous Calendar Year
within thirty (30) days from receipt of the computation notice from
Landlord.






	 	(b)	 	In addition to the Lump Sum Adjustment, on the first day for
the payment of a monthly Base Rent installment following the furnishing to
Lessee of the computation notice for the immediately preceding Calendar Year,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to






	 	(1)	 	One-twelfth (1/12) of the Lump Sum Adjustment
(prior credit for the Estimate Adjustment), multiplied by
	 
	 	(2)	 	the number of months of the lease term elapsed
during the current Calendar Year.






	 	(c)	 	Thereafter, commencing with the next due installment of monthly
Base Rent for the current Calendar Year and continuing monthly thereafter,
until a different computation notice is received by Lessee, the monthly Base
Rent shall be increased by






	 	(1)	 	an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the
Lump Sum Adjustment (prior credit for the Estimate Adjustment, and
	 
	 	(2)	 	the Estimate Adjustment, if any.





D. in the event that Office Building Operating Expenses for a Calendar Year are less than Office
Building Operating Expenses for the immediately preceding Calendar Year, and/or the Lump Sum
Adjustment for any Calendar Year is less than the Estimate Adjustment
for such year, Lessee shall
receive a lump sum payment refunding such excess payments within one hundred twenty (120) days
after the close of the Calendar Year:



E. Definitions:




	 	(1)	 	“Base Year” shall mean Calendar Year 1997;
	 
	 	(2)	 	“Calendar Year” shall mean each calendar year or part thereof during the Term
of this Lease;
	 
	 	(3)	 	“Proportionate Share” shall be the percentage calculated by dividing the
Rentable Area of the Leased Premises by 95% of the Rentable Area of the Office
Building;




-2-









 






	 	(4)	 	(a) “Office Building Operating Expenses” shall mean Taxes and all cost of operation and

of capital investment items that (i) are intended to primarily reduce operating costs for
the Leased Premises or the Property as a whole or that (ii) are required by any
governmental authority, provided that the cost of such capital improvements shall be
included in the Office Building Operating Expenses only to the extent of the annual
amortization of such cost over a period equal to the greater of (X) the remaining term of
the Lease or (Y) the useful life of such improvement;
	 
	 	(5)	 	(b) The following are specifically excluded from the definition of Office Building Operating

the costs of which are reimbursed or reimbursable to Landlord by insurers or by

electricity and other services to the common areas) for which Landlord is entitled
to be reimbursed by tenants (whether or not actually collected by Landlord) as a
separate additional charge or rental;

capital equipment and capital tools all in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied except as set forth in
subparagraph E(4)(a) above;




(vii) expenses in connection with services or other benefits of a type which are
not building standard but which are provided to another tenant or occupant, and
the excess cost of any work or services performed for a facility furnished to any
tenant of the Office Building to a greater extent or in a manner more favorable to
such tenant than that performed for or delivered to Tenant;



-3-









 






(viii) costs incurred due to the violation by Landlord or any tenant of the terms and conditions
of any lease pertaining to the Office Building or of any valid, applicable building code,
regulation, or law or incurred due to the Office Building being in violation of any such code,
regulation or law which exists as of the date construction of the Office Building commences;




(ix) overhead and profit increment paid to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for services on
or to the Office Building, to the extent that the costs of such services exceed competitive costs
for such services rendered by persons or entities of similar skill, competence and experience;

ground or underlying leases or lease pertaining to the Office Building, parking areas or the land

right to manage the Office Building and impute management fees to the Office Building Operating
Expenses which fees however, may not exceed five percent (5%) of the gross aggregate rental income
for the Office Building for any given year and Landlord agrees that a management fee of five
percent (5%) of the gross aggregate rental income for the Office Building will be imputed to the
Office Building Operating Expenses for the Base Year;




(xii) any compensation paid to clerks, attendants or other persons in commercial concessions
operated by Landlord;




(xiii) rentals and other related expense, if any, incurred in leasing air conditioning systems,
elevators or other equipment ordinarily considered to be of a capital nature, except equipment

other provisions of this Lease, or for which Tenant or another tenant pays third persons;

-4-









 






(xviii) any fee payable to the operator of the parking facilities located within
or connected to the building;




(xix) any costs attributable to electrical consumption in the Office Building by
other tenants, which consumption is in excess of the amounts of allocation of
electrical capacity set out in this Lease for such other tenant space, regardless

(xxiii) Landlord shall apply and use all reasonable efforts to cause the Office
Building to be operated in an efficient and economical manner in keeping with the
usual standard for comparable first-class office buildings in San Antonio, Texas
under similar conditions, to take all reasonable available discounts, to resist
with all reasonable efforts any increases in valuation for ad valorem tax
purposes, and to negotiate with all reasonable efforts any contract for services
or supplies pertaining to the Office Building and its operation. Any discounts or
cost savings resulting from such negotiations shall be passed on to tenants. If
any expenditure relates to any period beyond the then current year (whether the
base year or any subsequent year), the portion of the expenditure attributable to
the then current year shall be allocated in accordance with accepted accounting
principles for the purpose of determining the portion thereof to constitute Office
Building Operating Expenses for the then current year, and allocated to subsequent
year or years upon the same basis for determining Office Building Operating
Expenses for those years;




	 	(6)	 	“Taxes” shall mean all real estate taxes and assessments, special or otherwise, levied or
assessed upon or with respect to the Property and ad valorem taxes
for any personal property
used in connection therewith. Should, by way of substitution, for such real estate taxes and
ad valorem personal property taxes, the State in which the Property is located, or any
political subdivision thereof, or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction over
the Property, impose a tax, assessment, charge or fee, including but not limited to an
income or franchise tax or a tax on rents, all such taxes, assessments, fees or charges
(hereinafter defined as “in lieu Taxes”) shall be deemed to constitute Taxes hereunder.
Taxes may also include all fees and costs incurred by Lessor in seeking to obtain a
reduction of, or a limitation on the increase in, any taxes, regardless of whether any
reduction or limitation is obtained. Except as hereinabove provided with regard to “in lieu
Taxes”. Taxes shall not include any inheritance, estate, succession, transfer, gift,
franchise, net income or capital stock tax. The tax




-5-









 






	 	 	 	component of the Office Building Operating Expenses shall be established based on
the greater of the following:






(i) the actual 1997 tax for the land, the Office Building, and all parking
areas including the garage and the surface parking lot; or

Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($6,750,000.00) for
the land, the Office Building, the garage and the surface parking lot; or




(iii) on a per square foot basis, the applicable 1997 tax rate based on the
average of the greater of (A) the 1996 assessment or (B) the 1997

F. Any payment to be made pursuant to this Section with respect to the Calendar Year in which the
Lease commences and/or terminates shall be prorated if less than a full year, with such proration
to be calculated on a daily basis. Any obligations of Tenant applicable to the Calendar Year in
which this Lease terminates shall survive the expiration of this Lease.



G. At Lessor’s option, adjustments may be delayed. Lessor’s delay in implementing such adjustments
shall not waive Lessor’s right thereto, and the most recent monthly rental figures shall continue
to be paid during such delay. If Lessor delays in timely calculating adjustments, such adjustments
shall be retroactive to the respective date on which Lessor had a right to make such adjustment;
and such delayed rent adjustments shall become due upon written notice to Lessee.

1. STANDARD CONSTRUCTION BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall construct and furnish all common facilities,
the building shell, and office finish work as set forth below. All construction work and finish
work and other improvements to the Leased Premises will be performed by Landlord’s employees or
contractors.



2. PLANS FOR TENANT’S OFFICE SPACE. Final plans and specifications approved by both Landlord and
Tenant for improvements to Tenant’s Office Space to be furnished or installed by Landlord are
attached as Exhibit K to this lease and incorporated herein for all purposes (the “Plans”).



3. LANDLORD’S WORK. Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost, will finish Tenant’s space in
accordance with the Plans (“Landlord’s Work”). All costs of additional finish work in excess of
the work described in the Plans shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) days following
delivery of a statement therefor and prior to construction of such improvements. All additional or
nonstandard finish work items must be approved by Landlord’s architect in advance.



4. ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE. Landlord’s estimated Completion Date for finishing
Landlord’s Work shall be May 1, 1997. If construction pursuant to change orders for
Tenant’s Office Space will cause delay in such estimated completion date and if Landlord and Tenant
mutually note on such change orders that same will cause a specified number of days of delay, the
estimated completion date above shall be extended by such specified number of days. The
“Completion Date” means, the date of substantial completion of the Landlord’s Work in the Leased
Premises in compliance with the following procedures and standards:




     A. When Landlord believes that Landlord’s Work in the Leased Premises has been substantially
completed in accordance with the Plans, Landlord, Tenant, and a representative of Insite
Architects, Inc. shall walk through and observe Landlord’s Work in the Leased Premises. Landlord
shall provide Tenant with at least ten (10) days prior written notice before the estimated date of
the substantial completion of the Landlord’s Work.



     B. Landlord’s Work in the Leased Premises shall be considered substantially completed if they
conform to the Plans and are capable of being occupied for their intended purpose exclusive of
touch-up, minor finish, and similar so-called “punch-list” items that do not unreasonably interfere
with occupancy or Tenant’s business activities. In the event of any dispute between Landlord and
Tenant relating to whether the Landlord’s Work in the Leased Premises is substantially complete, or
relating to what punch-list or other work is required to finally complete such construction in
accordance with the Plans, the reasonable decision of Insite Architects, Inc. shall be controlling,



     C. Upon the Completion Date, Tenant shall cause Tenant’s architect to issue a Certificate of
Substantial Completion and to attach to each such certificate a list of all punch-list items needed
to achieve final completion. Landlord shall cause the contractor to complete all punch-list items
identified in any Substantial Completion Certificate as soon as possible, but in any event within
thirty




-1-









 







(30) days after the Substantial Completion Certificate has been issued or, if such items cannot be
reasonably completed within such 30-day period, then within such longer period of time as may be
reasonably required provided that the Landlord diligently and continuously pursues the same to
completion.



5. CHANGE ORDERS. During the construction of the Landlord’s Work, Tenant shall have the right
to request changes in the Landlord’s Work to the Leased Premises by delivery of written notice to
Landlord (“Change Order Request”) advising Landlord of the requested changes in the work. Tenant
shall include within the Change Order Request such additional plans and specifications as Landlord
may reasonably require with respect to any such proposed changes. Within five (5) business days
after Landlord’s receipt of a Change Order Request, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing
(“Landlord’s Response”) of (i) any increase in the cost of the Landlord’s Work and (ii) any
extension of the Completion Date, which Landlord determines would result from such Change Order
Request. Tenant shall advise Landlord within three (3) days following its receipt of Landlord’s
Response whether Tenant elects to proceed with the changes included in the Change Order Request.
In the event Tenant so elects to proceed with changes. Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord the
amount of the increase in cost attributable thereto and the Completion Deadline shall be extended
by the number of days that the Completion Date is delayed due to such changes as set forth in
Landlord’s Response.



6. DELAY. If the Leased Premises are not ready for occupancy within fifteen (15) days following
the above estimated Completion Date, then, for every day that construction is delayed beyond such
date, Tenant shall have one (1) free day rent with regard to the portion of the Leased Premises
that is required to be completed but is incomplete.

EXHIBIT J

SPECIAL CONDITIONS

(see paragraph 37.2 of lease)



The following special conditions shall apply to this lease and shall prevail on any other
provisions to the contrary.





	 	(1)	 	Early Termination Option. Provided Tenant is not in default under this
Lease, Tenant shall have the one-time option to terminate this Lease on the fifth
anniversary of the commencement date of the Lease (the “Termination Date”) by delivery
of the following to Landlord not less than two hundred and seventy (270) days prior to
the Termination Date: (i) written notice of Tenant’s election to terminate,
(“Termination Notice”) (ii) a termination fee equal to the product of the monthly Base
Rent payable hereunder on the date of the Termination Notice multiplied by six, and
(iii) payment of the Unamortized Cost of Landlord’s Improvement’s (as hereinafter
defined). For the purposes hereof, the Unamortized Cost of Landlord’s Improvements
shall mean the unamortized cost, based on a 10-year amortization, as of the date of
the Termination Notice of the total amount expended by Landlord for the completion of
Landlord’s Improvements described in Exhibit C-1 to this Lease and any
improvements to the Expansion Space paid for by Landlord pursuant to paragraph (2)
below, and all leasing commissions paid in connection with this Lease. Landlord shall
certify to Tenant the amount of the then Unamortized Cost of Landlord’s Improvements
within five (5) business days following Tenant’s request for such certificate from
Landlord. Tenant’s failure to timely deliver to Landlord the Termination Notice and
the payments described in clauses (ii) and (iii) in accordance with this paragraph
shall constitute Tenant’s election not to terminate this Lease and Tenant shall have
no further options to terminate this Lease pursuant hereto.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Expansion Option. Provided Tenant is not in default
hereunder, Tenant
at any time during the lease term may provide Landlord with one or more written
notices of Tenant’s election to lease any or all lease space on the 12th floor which
is vacant and not under lease obligation to another tenant. Any notice of such
election delivered by Tenant shall be referred to herein as the “Expansion Notice”.
Within five (5) days following the receipt of an Expansion Notice, Landlord shall
deliver notice to Tenant stating whether the vacant space is under obligation to
another Tenant (“Landlord’s Notice”). If the space specified in the Expansion Notice
is not under any obligation to another tenant it shall be “Expansion Space” to be
incorporated into the Leased Premises for all purposes. The date on which the
Expansion Space shall be part of the Leased Premises shall be the earlier of the date
of Tenant’s occupancy of the Expansion Space or the date of Substantial Completion for
the Expansion Space determined in accordance with Exhibit E to this Lease (the
“Expansion Space Commencement Date”). If the Expansion Space Commencement Date is on
or before the third anniversary of the commencement date of this Lease, the Base Rent
per square foot of Rentable Area of Expansion Space shall be the monthly Base Rent per
square foot of Rentable Area of the Leased Premises payable for the original Leased
Premises on the Expansion Space Commencement Date, and shall be increased at the same
time and in the same amount per square foot as the Base Rent for the original Leased
Premises is thereafter increased. If the Expansion Space Commencement Date begins
after the third anniversary of the commencement date of this Lease, the Base Rent per
square foot of Rentable Area of the Expansion Space shall equal one hundred fifteen
percent (115%)
