 Exhibit 10.2 

SIXTH AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE 

THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE (“Sixth Amendment”) is executed this 18th day of December, 2015 (the “Sixth
Amendment Effective Date”), by and between Hines VAV III Energy Way LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and Pier 1 Services Company, a Delaware statutory trust (“Tenant”). 

WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, Chesapeake
Plaza, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Original Landlord”) and Tenant entered into that certain Office Lease dated effective June 9, 2008 (the “Original Lease”) for certain space (the
“Premises”) in the office building currently known as the Pier 1 Imports Building located at 100 Energy Way, Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas (the “Building”); and 

WHEREAS, the Original Lease has been amended by (i) that certain First Amendment to Office Lease dated June 20, 2008 (the
“First Amendment”); (ii) that certain Second Amendment to Office Lease dated July 1, 2011 (the “Second Amendment”); (iii) that certain Third Amendment to Office Lease dated January 28, 2013 (the
“Third Amendment”); (iv) that certain Fourth Amendment to Office Lease dated May 1, 2013 (the “Fourth Amendment”); and (v) that certain Fifth Amendment to Office Lease dated July 14, 2014 (the
“Fifth Amendment”, and the Original Lease, as so amended, the “Lease”); 
 WHEREAS, Landlord has succeeded
to all of Original Landlord’s right, title and interest in and to the Building and as landlord under the Lease; 
 WHEREAS, the
Premises currently contains 385,623 Rentable Square Feet, located in the Lobby, on the mezzanine and on the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th floors of the
Building; 
 WHEREAS, following the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, Landlord may sell to a third-party buyer (the “Buyer”)
a portion of the Property located to the southeast of the Building and generally depicted and described on Exhibit A attached hereto (such area, subject to Section 2.1 below, the “Property Reduction Area”; the remainder
of the Property not included in the Property Reduction Area is occasionally referred to herein as the “Remaining Property”) on which is currently located, inter alia, a surface parking lot currently designated for
non-exclusive, unrestricted use of the guests, visitors and invitees of Landlord, Tenant and other tenants of the Building (as the same may be relocated in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, the “Visitor Parking
Area”), a paved area containing three flag poles and flags (collectively, the “Flags”) and certain signage; 

WHEREAS, in the event Landlord consummates the sale of the Property Reduction Area, the Property Reduction Area will no longer be available
for use as a Visitor Parking Area or to contain the Flags or such signage; 
 WHEREAS, in connection with any such sale, Landlord intends to
relocate the Visitor Parking Area to a new surface visitor parking lot to be constructed by Landlord on that portion of the Project located as generally depicted on Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Replacement Parcel”) and to
relocate the Flags to the Replacement Parcel; and 

  

					
		 	1	 	

 WHEREAS, the parties hereto have now agreed to further modify the Lease to provide for, among
other things, the relocation of the Visitor Parking Area and the Flags, on the terms and conditions as set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants herein set forth, and for such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree to amend the Lease as
follows: 
 1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms used but not defined herein will have the same meanings as ascribed to
them in the Lease. 
 2. Property. 

2.1 In the event Landlord elects to sell the Property Reduction Area, then effective upon the closing of such sale (the
“Closing”), the description of the Property shall automatically be deemed amended to eliminate the Property Reduction Area for all purposes under the Lease and to add the Landlord’s easement interest in the West 5th Access Tract (defined below) (the description of the Property, as so amended, the “Amended Property Description”), and no portion of the Property Reduction Area shall thereafter
constitute Common Areas under the Lease and, except as expressly set forth in this Paragraph 2 below, Tenant shall have no further rights under the Lease in or to the Property Reduction Area. Following the Closing, should it occur,
Landlord will deliver written notice to Tenant of the occurrence of the Closing and setting forth the final Amended Property Description. From and after the Closing, the term “Property” as used in the Lease shall mean the Property as
described in the Amended Property Description. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that, prior to the sale of the Property Reduction Area, Landlord is required to replat the Property and that, in connection with such replat, the City may require certain
immaterial changes to the boundaries of the Property Reduction Area from those depicted on Exhibit A. As used herein the term “Property Reduction Area” shall mean the Property Reduction Area as depicted on Exhibit A
subject to any such changes required by the City in connection with the replat. 
 2.2 Landlord anticipates that the Property Reduction Area
will include a portion of the existing access driveway connecting to West 5th Street as generally depicted on Exhibit B attached hereto (as such portion will be more particularly defined by Landlord and such Buyer in connection with the
definition of the Property Reduction Area, the “West 5th Access Tract”), which driveway is currently used for pedestrian and vehicular ingress and egress to and from the Property and West 5th Avenue. Accordingly, in the event that
the Closing occurs, Landlord will obtain, for the benefit of the Remaining Property, a non-exclusive access easement (the “Access Easement”), in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, over and across the West 5th Access Tract
for ingress and egress to and from the Remaining Property and West 5th Street. Tenant and its employees and invitees shall be permitted, subject to compliance with any reasonable rules and regulations established by Landlord and/or the owner, from
time to time, of the Property Reduction Area (the “Adjacent Owner”) for the use thereof, to use the West 5th Access Tract for vehicular and pedestrian ingress and egress to and from the Remaining Property on a non-exclusive basis in
common with Landlord, Adjacent Owner, their respective tenants and invitees and other visitors of the Remaining Property and the Property Reduction Area. 

  

					
		 	2	 	

 2.3 Certain equipment and infrastructure exclusively servicing the Building and/or the Remaining
Property (the “Infrastructure”) that is currently situated on the Property Reduction Area will remain on the Property Reduction Area to support the operation of the Building and the Remaining Property notwithstanding any sale of the
Property Reduction Area to Buyer, and the costs associated with the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of such Infrastructure shall continue to be included in Operating Expenses (subject to the limitations and exclusions on the
definition of Operating Expenses set forth in the Lease). In addition, if any infrastructure is installed on the Property Reduction Area in the future that provides services to the Building or to the Remaining Property, then the costs associated
with the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of such Infrastructure shall continue to be included in Operating Expenses (subject to the limitations and exclusions on the definition of Operating Expenses set forth in the Lease), it being
understood that such costs shall be shared on an equitable basis with the Adjacent Owner if any such infrastructure also provides service to the Property Reduction Area. Except as expressly provided in this Paragraph 2, after Closing,
should it occur, no costs or expenses for the use, operation or maintenance of the Property Reduction Area or any improvements that may be constructed thereon by the Buyer, will be charged to Tenant as Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses or electrical
costs described in Section 4.H of the Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord agrees that, from and after the Closing, Tax Expenses shall not include any real estate taxes assessed on the Property Reduction Area with respect to the
period after the Closing. 
 2.4 In the event that the Closing occurs, Landlord shall enter into an agreement binding on the Adjacent
Property containing (i) construction covenants governing construction activities on the Adjacent Property, (ii) certain approval rights regarding the design of improvements to be built on the Adjacent Property, and (iii) restrictions
limiting the permissible uses on the Adjacent Property, in each case, as Landlord may deem appropriate in the exercise of its good faith judgment. In addition, Landlord agrees that, during the initial construction of a project on the Property
Reduction Area by Buyer, Landlord shall take into account any unusual amounts of dirt or dust that may be blown onto the Building as a result of such construction in determining the intervals at which Landlord provides exterior window washing of the
Building in accordance with Section 7.A(6) of the Lease and in evaluating the necessity of increasing the frequency, scope or nature of janitorial and maintenance and repair services required in order to maintain services provided by Landlord
pursuant to Section 7.A of the Lease to a standard comparable to those of Comparable Buildings and to maintain the Common Areas in good repair and working order in accordance with Section 9.B of the Lease. 

3. Relocation of Visitor Parking Area. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, but subject to the terms and provisions
of this Paragraph 3, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows: 
 3.1 In the event Landlord elects to sell the Property Reduction
Area, Landlord shall construct on the Replacement Parcel a new Visitor Parking Area for the non-exclusive, unrestricted use of the guests, visitors and invitees of Landlord, Tenant and other tenants of the Building. Such new Visitor Parking Area
will be constructed in the location and configuration generally depicted on Exhibit C hereto. If construction of the relocated Visitor Parking Area on the 

  

					
		 	3	 	

 
Replacement Parcel is not complete (including receipt of all necessary governmental permits) by the Closing, then Landlord shall have the right to temporarily relocate the Visitor Parking Area,
for a period of no more than one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of Closing (such period to be extended on a day-for-day basis by the number of days Landlord’s construction of the relocated Visitor Parking Area on the
Replacement Parcel is delayed due to Force Majeure, if applicable), to the top level of the existing parking garage in the Building pursuant to the “temporary visitor parking logistics plan” delivered to Tenant by Landlord on or prior to
the Sixth Amendment Effective Date until Landlord completes construction of the new Visitor Parking Area on the Replacement Parcel. 
 3.2
In connection with any relocation of the Visitor Parking Area contemplated under Paragraph 3.1 above, (i) Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable advance written notice of Landlord’s intent to relocate the Visitor Parking Area
and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption in access to visitor parking to Tenant and its guests, visitors and invitees caused by any such relocation, (ii) any relocated Visitor Parking Area may contain
fewer parking spaces than the existing Visitor Parking Area but shall be adequate, in Landlord’s good faith judgment, to accommodate customary visitor parking demands at the Building and will contain at least ninety (90) parking spaces in
all circumstances, (iii) Landlord shall design any relocated Visitor Parking Area to be consistent in quality to surface parking areas for Comparable Buildings and to be complementary in appearance to the remainder of the Property (including,
by way of example, by installing appropriate landscaping thereon), and (iv) any such relocation shall be at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not constitute an Operating Expense). 

3.3 Landlord will install appropriate directional signage or modify existing directional signage to direct Tenant’s guests, visitors and
invitees to the temporary Visitor Parking Area in the existing Building Garage, if applicable, and thereafter to the relocated Visitor Parking Area on the Replacement Parcel. In the event Landlord elects to remove any existing directional signage
containing the Pier 1 Logo and does not transfer such Pier 1 Logo to any new or modified directional signage, Landlord will deliver possession of such removed Pier 1 Logo to Tenant. Prior to the initial installation of such signage, Landlord will
provide Tenant, for informational purposes, with a drawing identifying the intended location of such signage. 
 4. Relocation of Flags;
Monument Signs. 
 4.1 In the event Landlord elects to sell the Property Reduction Area, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense
(and not as an Operating Expense), relocate the Flags to the Replacement Parcel. 
 4.2 From and after the Closing, Tenant shall continue to
have the right, in accordance with and subject to the terms and provisions of the Lease, to display and maintain the Pier 1 Logo on the existing monument sign that currently contains the Pier 1 Logo on the east side of the Building (immediately
adjacent to the access driveway connecting the Property to Summit Avenue) and on the existing monument sign on the southwest corner of the Property (adjacent to the intersection of West 5th Street and Forest Park Boulevard). Tenant acknowledges that
the existing monument sign currently located on the Property Reduction Area (which currently does not display the name or logo of any tenant of the Building) will be removed by Landlord prior to the Closing. 

  

					
		 	4	 	

 5. Right of Negotiation. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that its Right of
Negotiation set forth in the Fifth Amendment shall no longer apply to the Property Reduction Area or otherwise be binding on the Buyer following the Closing, should it occur. However, nothing in this Sixth Amendment shall affect Tenant’s Right
of Negotiation in the event that Landlord elects to build a Future Building on the Property (including any such Future Building that Landlord may elect to construct on the Property Reduction Area if the Closing fails to occur) in accordance with the
terms of Exhibit D of the Fifth Amendment. 
 6. No Broker. Landlord and Tenant each hereby represent and warrant to the
other that no commission is due and payable to any broker or other leasing agent in connection with this Sixth Amendment as a result of its own dealings with any such broker or leasing agent, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to indemnify and
hold each other harmless from and against all loss, damage, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered by the other party as a result of a breach of the foregoing representation and warranty. 

7. Entire Agreement; Supercession. This Sixth Amendment shall become effective only upon its full execution and delivery by Landlord
and Tenant. This Sixth Amendment contains the parties’ entire agreement regarding the subject matter covered herein, and supersedes all prior correspondence, negotiations, and agreements, if any, whether oral or written, between the parties
concerning such subject matter. There are no contemporaneous oral agreements, and there are no representations or warranties between the parties not contained in this Sixth Amendment. In all respects, except as specifically amended hereby, the terms
and conditions of the Lease remain in full force and effect and unabated and the Lease, as amended by this Sixth Amendment, shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns. 

8. Multiple Counterparts. The parties may execute this Sixth Amendment in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and
all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. To facilitate execution of this Sixth Amendment, the parties may execute and exchange, by telephone facsimile or electronic mail PDF, counterparts of the signature
pages.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ECHO THERAPEUTICS INC., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Borrower”), with its principal place of business at 99 Wood Avenue South, Suite 302, Iselin, New Jersey 08830, promises to pay to the order of _________together with any successors or assigns, the “Lender”) at the office of the Lender, __________, the sum of ______________ DOLLARS and ZERO cents ($__0,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid balance and all other charges, as provided below.  Commencing on the date hereof, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum equal to The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, compounding monthly.   The Borrower shall pay all outstanding principal and interest on the Maturity Date.  “Maturity Date” is defined as earlier of (i) the consummation of the sale by the Borrower of equity securities in an offering, with gross proceeds to the Borrower (before deduction of underwriter’s commissions, offering expenses and the like) of not less than $500,000 and (ii) thirty (30) days from the date hereof.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default (whether or not the Lender has accelerated payment of this Note), interest on principal shall be payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to 12% per annum, compounding monthly.

 

Default.  If (a) the interest hereon or any commitment or other fee shall not be paid in full punctually when due and payable, and/or (b) the principal hereof shall not be paid in full punctually when due and payable, it shall constitute an Event of Default (“Event of Default”) under this Note.  Upon an Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, at the option of the Lender, all obligations hereunder shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand and the Lender shall then have in any jurisdiction where enforcement hereof is sought.  All rights and remedies of the Lender are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by laws or any other agreement, and may be exercised separately or concurrently.

 

Waiver; Amendment.  No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right under this Note.  No waiver of any right contained in, consent to any departure from, or amendment to any provision contained in this Note shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Lender, nor shall a waiver on one occasion be construed as a waiver of any such right on any future occasion.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the acceptance by the Lender of any late payment shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the Event of Default arising as a consequence thereof.  The Borrower waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and assents to any extensions or postponements of the time of payment or any and all other indulgences under this Note, or to any and all additions or releases of any other parties or persons primarily or secondarily liable under this Note, which from time to time be granted by the Lender in connection herewith regardless of the number or period of any extensions.

 

Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.  This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflict of laws provisions that might result in the application of the laws of another state.  The Borrower agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Note may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or any federal court sitting in such state and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of each such court and to service of process in any such suit being made upon the Borrower by mail at the address set forth above.  The Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit was brought in an inconvenient court.

{00145512.1}

  

  

  

 

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS NOTE, HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR ARISING OUT OF:  (A) THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER; (B) THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF; OR (C) ANY OTHER CLAIM OR DISPUTE HOWEVER ARISING BETWEEN THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER.

 

Severability; Authorization to Complete; Paragraph Headings.  If any provision of this Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the remainder of this Note and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  Paragraph headings are for the convenience of reference only and are not a part of this Note and shall not affect its interpretation.All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person, persons, entity or entities may require.  The terms “herein,” “hereof” or “hereunder” or similar terms used in this Note refer to this entire Note and not only to the particular provision in which the term is used.

 

Exchange Right.  For so long as this Note is outstanding, if the Company enters into any subsequent equity or equity-linked financing on terms more favorable than the terms governing this Note (a “Subsequent Financing”), as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion, then the Lender in its sole discretion may exchange the outstanding principal and interest under this Note for the securities issued or to be issued in the Subsequent Financing.   In no event shall any such exchange be permitted to the extent such exchange results in the Lender beneficially owning (for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 9.99% or more of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

 

Assignments.  Neither this Note nor the proceeds hereof shall be assignable by the Borrower without the Lender’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment without the Lender’s prior written consent shall create a default under this Note.  This Note may be assigned, in whole or in part, by the Lender and its successors or assigns.  The Borrower’s consent shall not be required for any such assignment.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has caused this Note to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
