ARTICLE TWO. LEASE AND LEASE TERM

 

2.01. Lease of Demised Premises for Lease Term

 

Landlord leases the Demised Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Demised Premises from Landlord for the Lease Term stated in Section 1.05.  The Commencement Date is the date specified in Section 1.05, unless advanced or delayed under any provision of this Lease.  Landlord shall deliver exclusive possession of all of the Demised Premises to Tenant in compliance with Applicable Laws in all material respects within five (5) business days after the Effective Date.

 

2.02. Delay in Commencement

 

Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant if Landlord does not deliver possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant on or before the 5th business day after the Effective Date.  Landlord’s failure to deliver exclusive possession of all of the Demised Premises to Tenant in compliance with Applicable Laws will not affect this Lease or the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.  However, the Commencement Date shall be delayed until possession of the Demised Premises is delivered to Tenant.  The Lease Term shall be extended for a period equal to the delay in delivery of possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant, plus the number of days necessary for the lease Term to expire on the last day of a month.  If Landlord does not deliver exclusive possession of all of the Demised Premises to Tenant in compliance with all Applicable Laws in all material respects within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, Tenant may cancel this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord on or before the Possession Delivery Date.  If Tenant gives such notice, this Lease shall be canceled effective as of the date of its execution, and no party shall have any obligations under this Lease.  If Tenant does not give such notice within the time specified, Tenant shall have no right to cancel this Lease as a result of such late delivery, and the Lease Term shall commence on the Possession Delivery Date.  If delivery of possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant is delayed, Landlord and Tenant shall, upon such delivery, execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the revised Commencement Date and Expiration Date of the Lease Term.

 

2.03. Early Occupancy

 

If Tenant occupies the Demised Premises prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant’s occupancy of the Demised Premises shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease other than (i) those applicable to the payment of Base Rent, and (ii) those applicable to the payment for utilities prior to delivery of possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant.  Tenant shall have no obligation to pay any Base Rent prior to the Commencement Date or utility costs/charges for periods prior to delivery of possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant.  Early occupancy of the Demised Premises shall not advance the Expiration Date.

 

2.04. Holding Over

 

Tenant shall vacate the Demised Premises immediately upon the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for and indemnify Landlord against all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of any delay by Tenant in vacating the Demised Premises, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IN NO EVENT SHALL TENANT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND/OR LOST PROFITS SUSTAINED BY LANDLORD AS A RESULT OF ANY HOLDING OVER BY TENANT UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH HOLDING 

 

  

2

  

OVER HAS CONTINUED FOR MORE THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE EXPIRATION OR ANY EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE.  TENANT MAY HOLD OVER FOR A PERIOD OF THIRTY (30) DAYS WITHOUT AN INCREASE OF BASE RENT PROVIDED THAT THE TENANT IS NOT IN DEFAULT AND FURTHER PROVIDED THAT TENANT GIVES WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE HOLDOVER TO LANDLORD AT LEAST 90 DAYS PRIOR TO EXPIRATION OF THE LEASE TERM.  If Tenant does not vacate the Demised Premises upon the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant’s occupancy of the Demised Premises shall be a day-to-day tenancy, subject to all of the terms of this Lease, except that the Base Rent during the holdover period shall be increased to an amount which is one and a half (1.5) times the Base Rent in effect on the expiration or termination of this Lease, computed on a daily basis for each day of the holdover period, plus all additional sums due under this Lease.  This paragraph shall not be construed as Landlord’s consent for Tenant to hold over or to extend this Lease.

 

ARTICLE THREE. RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT

 

3.01. Manner of Payment

 

All sums payable under this Lease by Tenant (the “Rent”) shall be made to the Landlord at the address designated in Section 1.02, unless another person is designated in Section 1.10, or to any other party or address as Landlord may designate in writing.  Any and all payments made to a designated third party for the account of the Landlord shall be deemed made to Landlord when received by the designated third party.  All sums payable by Tenant under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as rent, shall constitute rent for the purposes of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code and for all other purposes.  The Base Rent is the minimum rent for the Demised Premises and is subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Lease, together with the attached Addenda, if any.

 

3.02. Time of Payment

 

Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay the installment of Base Rent for the first month of the Lease Term.  On or before the third day of the second month of the Lease Term and of each month thereafter, the installment of Base Rent and other sums due under this Lease shall be due and payable in advance without off-set deduction or prior demand except as otherwise provided to the contrary in this Lease.  Tenant shall cause payments to be properly mailed or otherwise delivered so as to be actually received by the party identified in 1.10 above on or before the due date (and not merely deposited in the mail).  If the Lease Term commences or ends on a day other than the first or last day of a calendar month, the rent for any fractional calendar month following the Commencement Date or preceding the end of the Lease Term shall be prorated by days.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary to the Lease, payments of rent will be paid by the third day of each month or postmarked 5 days before the due date.  Tenant will be given three (3) exemptions from late fees in the entire Lease Term.  In the event Tenant is delinquent in submitting payment for rent on time after the third occurrence in the Lease Term, payment will be required to be in certified funds only and Tenant will be responsible for late charges as defined in section 3.03

 

3.03. Late Charges

 

Tenant’s failure to promptly pay sums due under this Lease may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs.  The exact amount of those costs is impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain.  The costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease or deed of trust encumbering the Demised Premises.  Payments due to Landlord under this Lease are not an extension of credit.  Therefore, if any payment under the Lease is not actually received on or before the due date (and not merely deposited in the mail), Landlord may, at Landlord’s option and to the extent allowed by applicable law, impose a Late Charge of $50.00 plus on any late payments in an amount equal to 0.5% of the amount of the past due payment (the “Late Charge”) per day for each day after the due date, until the past due amount in Good Funds is received by Landlord, up to a maximum of seventeen percent (17%) of the past due amount.  A Late Charge may be imposed only once on each past due payment.  Any Late Charge will be in addition to Landlord’s other remedies for nonpayment of rent.  If any check tendered to Landlord by Tenant under this Lease is dishonored for any reason, Tenant shall pay to the party receiving payments under this Lease a fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00), plus (at Landlord’s option) a Late Charge as provided above until good funds are received by Landlord.  The parties agree that any Late Charge and dishonored check fee represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment or dishonored check.  Payments received from Tenant shall be applied first to any Late Charges, second to Base Rent, and last to other unpaid charges or reimbursements due to Landlord.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will not impose a Late Charge as to the first late payment in any calendar year, unless Tenant fails to pay the late payment to Landlord within three (3) business days after the delivery of a written notice from Landlord to Tenant demanding the late payment be paid.  However, Landlord may impose a Late Charge without advance notice to Tenant on any subsequent late payment in the same calendar year.

 

3.04. Security Deposit

 

Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a cash Security Deposit in the amount stated in Section 1.08.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default (as defined in Section 11.01 below), Landlord may apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid Rent or other charges due from Tenant or to cure any other defaults of Tenant.  If Landlord uses any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall restore the Security Deposit to its full amount within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written demand.  Tenant’s failure to restore the full amount of the Security Deposit within the time specified shall be a default under this Lease.  No interest will be paid on the Security Deposit.  Landlord will not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts and no trust relationship is created with respect to the Security Deposit.  Upon any termination of this Lease not resulting from Tenant’s default, and after Tenant has vacated the Property and cleaned and restored the Demised Premises in the manner required by this Lease, Landlord shall refund the unused portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within thirty days after the Termination Date or thirty days after Tenant fully complies with the conditions of termination as required in Section 7.05, whichever is later.

 

  

3

  

 

3.05. Good Funds Payments

 

If, for any reason whatsoever, any two or more payments by check from Tenant to Landlord for Rent are dishonored and returned unpaid thereafter Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole option, upon written notice to Tenant, require that all future payments of Rent for the remaining term of the Lease must be made by cash, certified check, cashier’s check, or money order (“Good Funds”) and that the delivery of Tenant’s personal or corporate check will no longer constitute payment of Rent under this Lease.  Any acceptance by Landlord of a payment for Rent by Tenant’s personal or corporate check thereafter shall not be construed as a waiver of Landlord’s right to insist upon payment by Good Funds as set forth herein.

 

ARTICLE FOUR. TAXES

 

4.01. Payment by Landlord

 

Landlord shall pay the real estate taxes on the Property during the Lease Term.

 

4.02. Improvements by Tenant

 

Intentionally omitted.

 

4.03. Joint Assessment

 

Intentionally omitted.

 

4.04. Personal Property Taxes

 

Tenant shall pay all taxes assessed against trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, inventory, products, or any other personal property belonging to Tenant.  Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to have Tenant’s property taxed separately from the Demised Premises.  If any of Tenant’s property is taxed with the Demised Premises, Tenant shall pay the taxes for its property to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives a written statement from Landlord for the property taxes.

 

ARTICLE FIVE. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

 

5.01. Casualty Insurance

 

During the Lease Term, Landlord shall maintain policies of insurance covering loss of or damage to the Demised Premises in an amount or percentage of replacement value as Landlord deems reasonable in relation to the age, location, type of construction and physical condition of the Demised Premises and the availability of insurance at reasonable rates.  The policies shall provide protection against all perils included within the classification of fire and extended coverage and any other perils which Landlord deems necessary.  Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, obtain insurance coverage for Tenant’s fixtures, equipment or building improvements installed by Tenant in or on the Demised Premises.  If requested in writing by Tenant during the Lease Term, (but not more than once in a 12 month period), Landlord will provide Tenant with evidence that Landlord is maintaining the insurance required by this section 5.01; provided, however, Landlord shall have no obligation to furnish the foregoing evidence of Landlord’s insurance at any time in which an event of default (as defined in section 11.01) has occurred and is continuing.  If, within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of a written request therefor, Landlord fails to provide Tenant with evidence that Landlord is maintaining the insurance required by this section 5.01, and such failure continues for more than five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant that Landlord has failed to timely deliver evidence of insurance, Landlord will be conclusively deemed to have failed to obtain and maintain such required insurance.  Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, maintain insurance on its fixtures, equipment and building improvements as Tenant deems necessary to protect tenant’s interest.  Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which invalidates any insurance policies.  Any casualty insurance carried by Landlord or Tenant shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying the insurance and under its sole control.

 

5.02. Increase in Premiums

 

Tenant shall not permit any operation or activity to be conducted, or storage or use of any volatile or any other materials, on or about the Demised Premises other than the Permitted Use that would cause suspension or cancellation of any fire and extended coverage insurance policy carried by Landlord, or increase the premiums therefore, without the prior written consent of Landlord.  If Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises other than the Permitted Use causes an increase in the premiums for any fire and extended coverage insurance policy carried by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rental, the amount of the increase within ten days after demand and presentation by Landlord of written evidence of the increase.

 

5.03. Liability Insurance

 

During the Lease Term Tenant shall maintain a commercial general liability policy of insurance, at Tenant’s expense, insuring Landlord against liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy, or maintenance of the Demised Premises.  The initial amounts of the insurance must be at least:  $500,000 for Each Occurrence, $1,000,000 General Aggregate per policy year, $100,000 Property Damage for the Demised Premises, and $10,000 Medical Expense; plus a $5,000,000 commercial general liability umbrella, and shall be subject to periodic increases based upon economic factors as Landlord may determine, in Landlord’s discretion, exercised in good faith.  However, the amounts of the insurance shall not limit Tenant’s liability nor relieve Tenant of any obligation under this Lease.  The policies must contain cross-liability endorsements, if applicable, and must insure Tenant’s performance of the indemnity provisions of Section 5.04.  The policies must contain a provision which prohibits cancellation or modification of the policy except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord.  Tenant may discharge Tenant’s obligations under this Section by naming Landlord as an additional insured under a comprehensive policy of commercial general liability insurance maintained by Tenant and containing the coverage and provisions described in this Section.  Tenant shall deliver a copy of the policy or certificate (or a renewal) to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date and prior to the expiration of the policy during the Lease Term.  If Tenant fails to maintain the policy, Landlord may elect to maintain the insurance at Tenant’s expense.  Tenant may, at Tenant’s expense, maintain other liability insurance as Tenant deems necessary.

 

5.04. Indemnity

 

Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or to Tenant’s employees, agents, invitees or visitors, or to any other person, for any injury to persons or damage to property on or about the Demised Premises or any adjacent area owned by Landlord caused by the negligence or misconduct of Tenant,

 

  

4

  

Tenant’s employees, subtenants, agents, licensees or concessionaires or any other person entering the Demised Premises under express or implied invitation of Tenant or arising out of the use of the Demised Premises by Tenant and the conduct of Tenant’s business, or arising out of any breach or default by Tenant in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any loss, expense or claims arising out of such damage or injury.  Tenant shall not be liable for any injury or damage caused by the negligence or misconduct of Landlord, or Landlord’s employees or agents, and Landlord agrees to indemnity and hold Tenant harmless from any loss, expense or damage arising out of such damage or injury.

 

5.05. Comparative Negligence

 

Tenant and Landlord hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agree to indemnify, defend and hold each other and their officers, agents, directors, subsidiaries, partners, employees, licensees and counsel harmless to the extent of each party’s comparative negligence, if any, from and against any and all loss, liability, demand, damage, judgment, suit, claim, deficiency, interest, fee, charge, cost or expense (including, without limitation, interest, court costs and penalties, reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements and amounts paid in settlement, or liabilities resulting from any change in federal, state or local law or regulation or interpretation of this Lease) of whatever nature, (each a “Claim”) on a comparative negligence basis, even when caused in part by Landlord’s or Tenant’s negligence or the joint or concurring negligence of Landlord, Tenant, and any other person or entity, which may result or to which Landlord or Tenant and/or any of their officers, agents, directors, employees, subsidiaries, partners, licensees and counsel may sustain, suffer, incur or become subject to in connection with or arising in any way whatsoever out of the leasing, operation, promotion, management, maintenance, repair, use or occupation of the Demised Premises, or any other activity of whatever nature in connection therewith, or arising out of or by reason of any Investigations litigation or other proceedings brought or threatened, arising out of or based upon the leasing, operation, promotion, management, maintenance, repair, use or occupancy of the Demised Premises, or any other activity on the Demised Premises.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING IN NO EVENT SHALL TENANT’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE COVER (1) CLAIMS WAIVED BY LANDLORD IN SECTION 5.06 BELOW, (2) CLAIMS ARISING DUE TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LANDLORD, ITS OFFICERS, AGENTS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, SUBSIDIARIES, PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, LICENSEES AND COUNSEL (COLLECTIVELY, “LANDLORD PARTIES”) OR (3) CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN SECTION 2.04 ABOVE.  This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

5.06. Waiver of Subrogation

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant releases all Landlord Parties from, and waives, and shall cause its insurance carrier(s) and any other party claiming through or under Tenant and/or such carrier(s) by way of subrogation or otherwise, to waive, any and all rights of recovery (including without limitation, a direct action for damages and all rights of their respective insurance carrier(s) based upon an assignment from its insured), Claim, action or causes of action against all Landlord Parties for any loss or damage to Tenant’s business, any loss of use of the Demised Premises, and any loss, theft or damage to Tenants trade fixtures, equipment, furniture and other personal property within the Demised Premises, INCLUDING ALL RIGHTS (BY WAY OF SUBROGATION OR OTHERWISE) OF RECOVERY, CLAIMS, ACTIONS OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY LANDLORD PARTY, which loss or damage is (or would have been, had the insurance required by this Lease been maintained) covered by insurance, including any deductible (provided, however, that the portion of the cost of any repairs covered by insurance but attributable to a commercially reasonable deductible amount may be included in Operating Expenses to the extent permitted by the Addendum A attached hereto).  In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord releases Tenant and its officers, agents, directors, members, subsidiaries, partners, employees, licensees, sublessees and counsel (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) from and waives, and shall cause its insurance carrier(s) and any other party claiming through or under Landlord and/or such carrier(s), by way of subrogation or otherwise, to waive, any and all rights of recovery (including, without limitation, a direct action for damages and all rights of their respective insurance carrier(s) based upon an assignment from its insured), Claim, action or causes of action against all Tenant Parties for any loss of or damage to or loss of use of the building in which the Demised Premises is located (the “Building”), any additions or improvements to the Property or any contents thereof, INCLUDING ALL RIGHTS (BY WAY OF SUBROGATION OR OTHERWISE) OF RECOVERY, CLAIMS, ACTIONS, OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY TENANT PARTY which loss or damage is (or would have been, had the insurance required by this Lease been maintained) covered by insurance, including any deductible.  These mutual waivers shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of any other waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect to any loss of or damage to, property of the parties.  Inasmuch as these mutual waivers will preclude the assignment of any aforesaid claim by way of subrogation or otherwise to an insurance company (or any other person), each party hereby agrees to give immediately to each insurance company (which has issued to such party policies of fire and extended coverage insurance) written notice of the terms of such mutual waivers, and to cause such policies to be properly endorsed to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage by reason of these waivers.

 

ARTICLE SIX. USE OF DEMISED PREMISES

 

6.01. Permitted Use

 

Tenant may use the Demised Premises only for the Permitted Use stated in Section 1.09.  The parties to this Lease acknowledge that the current use of the Demised Premises or the improvements located on the Demised Premises, or both, may or may not conform to the city zoning ordinance with respect to the permitted use, height, setback requirements, minimum parking requirements, coverage ratio of improvements to total area of land, and other matters which may have a significant economic impact upon the Tenant’s intended use of the Demised Premises.  Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has or will independently investigate and verify to Tenant’s satisfaction the extent of any limitations or non-conforming uses of the Demised Premises.  Tenant further acknowledges that Tenant is not relying upon any warranties or representations of the Brokers who are participating in the negotiation of this Lease concerning the Permitted Use of the Demised Premises, or with respect to any uses of the improvements located on the Demised Premises.

6.02 Compliance with Law

 

Subject to Landlord’s satisfaction of its delivery of possession of the Demised Premises obligations set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall comply with all governmental laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to the use of the Demised Premises and shall promptly comply with all governmental orders and directives for the correction, prevention and abatement of nuisances and other activities in or upon, or connected with the Demised Premises, all at Tenant’s sole expense, including any expense or cost resulting from the construction or installation of fixtures and improvements or other accommodations for handicapped or disabled persons required for compliance with governmental laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Texas Architectural Barriers Act (Article 9102 and any successor statute) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”).  To the extent any alterations to the Demised Premises are required by the ADA or other applicable laws or regulations, Tenant shall bear the expense of the alterations.  To the extent any alterations to areas of the Property outside the Demised Premises are required by Title III of the ADA or other applicable laws or regulations (for “path of travel” requirements or otherwise), Landlord shall bear the expense of the alterations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Tenant be obligated to remedy any non-compliance with Applicable Laws (including the TABA and/or the ADA) existing on the Possession Delivery Date, except Applicable Laws which are specific to Tenant’s use of Demised Premises.

 

6.04. Certificate of Occupancy

 

.  If required by Applicable Laws, Tenant shall obtain a Certificate of Occupancy from the municipality in which the Property is located prior to occupancy of the Demised Premises, which Certificate of Occupancy can be issued on a date prior to Tenant’s commencement of construction of interior leasehold improvements and will for all purposes satisfy Tenant Certificate of Occupancy delivery obligation.  Tenant may apply for a Certificate of Occupancy prior to the Commencement Date and, if Tenant is unable to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord if Landlord or Tenant is unwilling or unable to cure the defects which prevented the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy.  Landlord may, but has no obligation to, cure any such defects, including any repairs, installations, or replacements of any items which are not presently existing on the Demised Premises, or which have not been expressly agreed upon by Landlord in writing.

 

6.04. Signs

 

Without the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Tenant may not place any signs, ornaments or other objects upon the Demised Premises or on the Property, including but not limited to the roof or exterior of the Building or other improvements on the Property, or paint or otherwise decorate or deface the exterior of the Building.  Any signs installed by Tenant must conform with applicable laws, deed restrictions on the Property, and other applicable requirements.  Tenant must remove all signs, decorations and ornaments at the expiration or termination of this Lease and must repair any damage and close any holes caused by the removal.

 

6.05. Utility Services

 

Tenant shall pay the cost of all utility services exclusively servicing the Demised Premises and which are separately metered, and Tenants pro rata share of utilities which are included in CAM expenses, including but not limited to initial connection charges, all charges for gas, water, sewerage, storm water disposal, communications and electricity used on the Demised Premises, and for replacing all electric lights, lamps and tubes within the Demised Premises.

 

6.06. Landlord’s Access

 

Landlord and Landlord’s agents shall have the right to, upon 24 hour notice made by fax, telephone or e-mail to Tenant and during normal business hours and without unreasonably interfering with Tenant’s business, or in the event of an emergency whereby the 24 hour notice is waived, enter the Demised Premises:  (a) to inspect the general condition and state of repair of the Demised Premises, (b) to make repairs required or permitted under this Lease, (c) to show the Demised Premises or the Property to any prospective tenant or purchaser, and (d) for any other reasonable purpose.  If Tenant changes the locks on the Demised Premises, Tenant must provide Landlord with a copy of each separate key.

6.07. Possession

 

If Tenant pays the rent, properly maintains the Demised Premises, and complies with all other terms of this Lease, Tenant may occupy and enjoy the Demised Premises for the full Lease Term, subject to the provisions of this Lease.

 

6.08. Exemptions from Liability

 

Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury to the persons, business (or any loss of income), goods, inventory, furnishings, fixtures, equipment, merchandise or other property of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, invitees, customers or any other person in or about the Demised Premises, whether the damage or injury is caused by or results from:  (a) fire, steam, electricity, water, gas or wind; (b) the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures or any other cause; (c) conditions arising on or about the Demised Premises or upon other portions of any building of which the Demised Premises is a part, or from other sources or places; or (d) any act or omission of any other tenant of any building on the Property.  Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury even though the cause of or the means of repairing the damage or injury are not accessible to Tenant.  The provisions of this Section 6.08 shall not, however, exempt Landlord from liability for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any other Landlord Parties.

 

ARTICLE SEVEN.  PROPERTY CONDITION MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS

 

7.01. Property Condition

Tenant shall not create any openings in the roof or exterior walls, or make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Demised Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to non-structural alterations, additions or improvements and, provided that roof exhausts are installed in a manner that does not adversely affect Landlord’s roof warranty, consent is hereby given with respect to the roof exhausts to be created in connection with the initial improvements (collectively, the “Tenant Improvements”) to be made by or on behalf of Tenant to the Demised Premises.  If Landlord does not consent or affirmatively withhold its consent to any proposed alteration, addition or improvement to the Demised Premises (each an “Alteration” and collectively “Alterations”), or the plans and/or specifications with respect thereto, in writing within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of a written request therefor together with, as applicable, plans and specifications related thereto, and such failure continues for five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice thereof (such written request and such subsequent notice shall each note on the first page thereof, in bold and capitalized letters, that the failure of Landlord to provide written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s decision to give or withhold its consent to the proposed Alterations will constitute a deemed written consent by Landlord to the proposed Alterations and the plans and specifications, if any, with respect thereto), such Alterations, and the plans and specifications, if any, with respect thereto, shall be deemed to have been consented to in writing by Landlord.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall have no right to condition its consent to any Alterations (including, without limitation, the Initial Alterations) to (i) the requirement that such Alterations be completed/performed under the direct supervision of Landlord or Landlord’s agent or representative and/or that the cost of supervision of any Alterations be paid for by Tenant, (ii) a requirement that Tenant pay to Landlord any construction management fee or other similar type of compensation in connection therewith unless Tenant has requested and Landlord has agreed to directly supervise and/or manage the construction of the applicable Alterations, (iii) a requirement that such Alterations be performed at a time or times specified by Landlord except as otherwise permitted above in this subsection, or (iv) a requirement that Tenant remove such Alterations upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease except to the extent Landlord is permitted to do so pursuant to Section 7.05 below.  If Landlord elects not to consent to any proposed Alterations and/or any plans and specifications submitted to Landlord with respect thereto, Landlord will identify in its written notice of such election the reasons for the same.  Tenant may erect or install trade fixtures, shelves, bins, machinery, heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment and, provided that Tenant complies with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, codes, and regulations; provided, however, Landlord agrees that Tenant’s contractor and its subcontractors can construct the initial Tenant Improvements without complying with permitting requirements of the City of Addison, Texas.  At the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the restrictions of Section 7.05 below, have the right to remove items installed by Tenant, provided Tenant is not in default at the time of the removal and provided further that Tenant shall, at the time of removal of the items, repair in a good and workmanlike manner any damage caused by the installation or removal.  Tenant shall pay for all costs incurred or arising out of alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Demised Premises and shall not permit any mechanic’s or material man’s lien to be filed against the Demised Premises or the Property in connection with any of the foregoing performed by or on behalf of Tenant excluding, however, any of the foregoing performed by or on behalf of the Landlord.

In addition, Landlord may require Tenant to remove any alterations, additions or improvements (whether or not made with Landlord’s consent) prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease and to restore the Demised Premises to its prior condition, all at Tenant’s expense; provided, however, in no event will Tenant be required to remove any of the following:  (1) any of the Tenant Improvements; or (2) any of the alterations, additions or improvements to the Demised Premises unless the same are installed by or for the benefit of Tenant and in Landlords’ reasonable judgment are of a nature that would require removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal and repair costs associated with standard office and / or warehouse improvements and if requested in writing by Tenant, Landlord has notified Tenant of the foregoing prior to the completion of the applicable alteration, addition or improvement.  All alterations, additions and improvements which Landlord has not required Tenant to remove shall become Landlord’s property and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or termination of this Lease.  In no event, however, shall Tenant remove any of the following materials or equipment without Landlord’s prior written consent:  (i) electrical wiring or power panels; (ii) lighting or lighting fixtures; (iii) wall coverings, drapes, blinds or other window coverings; (iv) carpets or other floor coverings; (v) heating, ventilating, or air conditioning equipment; (vi) fencing or security gates; or (vii) any other fixtures, equipment or items which, if removed, would affect the operation or the appearance of the Property.

If any buildings or other improvements situated on the Property are damaged or destroyed by fire, flood, windstorm, tornado or other casualty, Tenant shall immediately give written notice of the damage or destruction to Landlord.

 

8.02. Partial Damage

 

In the event the Demised Premises sustains damage from herein said events (excluding damage caused by Tenant or by any Tenant Parties) and the Demised Premises is unsafe to occupy or unable to serve the day to day requirements of the Tenant, and cannot reasonably be repaired within 120 days after the date of damage, Tenant may at its discretion terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within 30 days after the date of damage in order to relocate into property which can service the day to day needs of the Tenant.  If the Building or other improvements situated on the Property are damaged by fire, tornado or other casualty, each a “Casualty”, but not to such an extent that rebuilding or repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date Landlord receives written notification by Tenant of the occurrence of the damage, this Lease shall not terminate, but Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild or repair the Building and other improvements on the Property (other than leasehold improvements made by Tenant or any assignee, subtenant or other occupant of the Demised Premises) to substantially the condition in which they existed prior to the damage.  If the casualty occurs during the final eighteen (18) months of the Lease Term, Landlord shall not be required to rebuild or repair the damage unless Tenant exercises Tenant’s renewal option (if any) within fifteen (15) days 

 

  

8

  

after the date of receipt by Landlord of the notification of the occurrence of the damage. If Tenant does not exercise its renewal option or if there is no renewal option contained in this Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, terminate this Lease by promptly delivering a written termination notice to Tenant in which event the Rent shall be abated for the unexpired portion of the Lease Term, effective from the date of receipt by Landlord of the written notification of the damage.  To the extent the Demised Premises cannot be occupied (in whole or in part) following the casualty, the Rent payable under this Lease during the period in which the Demised Premises cannot be fully occupied shall be adjusted equitably.

 

8.03. Substantial or Total Destruction

 

If the Building or other improvements situated on the Property are substantially or totally destroyed by fire, tornado, or other casualty, or so damaged that rebuilding or repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date Landlord receives written notification by Tenant of the occurrence of the damage, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by promptly delivering a written termination notice to the other party, in which event the monthly installments of Rent shall be abated for the unexpired portion of the Lease Term, effective from the date of the damage or destruction provided that Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease if the damage does not materially affect Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises.  If neither party promptly terminates this Lease, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild and repair the Building and other improvements (except that Tenant shall rebuild and repair Tenant’s fixtures and improvements in the Demised Premises).  To the extent the Demised Premises cannot be occupied (in whole or in part) following the casualty, the Rent payable under this Lease during the period in which the Demised Premises cannot be fully occupied shall be adjusted equitably.

 

8.04. Failure to Complete Repairs

 

If Landlord is obligated to repair damage to the Demised Premises (including the improvements located therein at the time of the Casualty), the Building or other portions of the Property pursuant to this Article 8 (collectively, the “Damaged Improvements”), Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to complete or cause the completion of the repairs to the same on or before the expiration of the Casualty Repair Delivery Date (as defined below).  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Lease, if (1) Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot complete or cause the completion of the repair of the applicable damage to the Damaged Improvements required by this Lease on or before the Casualty Repair Delivery Date, and (2) such damage was not caused by an act of Tenant or any other Tenant Party, then, in addition to all other remedies available to Tenant at law or in equity (including, without limitation, the recovery of special and/or consequential damages), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, effective as of the date of the occurrence of the applicable damage, by giving Landlord written notice thereof within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Casualty Repair Delivery Date; provided, however, if Tenant delivers such written termination notice to Landlord and on the date of such delivery Landlord is continuing with commercially reasonable diligence to cause such damage to the Damaged Improvements to be repaired as required hereby, then such termination shall not be effective; provided further, however, if (a) Tenant’s termination notice is not effective due to the foregoing, and (b) thereafter Landlord fails to continue with commercially reasonable diligence to cause such damage to the Damaged Improvements to be repaired as required hereby, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written notice thereof within thirty (30) days after the date on which Tenant first becomes aware of such failure.  As used herein, the term “Casualty Repair Delivery Date” will mean the date that is the 180th day after the date the Damaged Improvements have been damaged by fire or other Casualty, as extended by the number of days that Landlord is delayed and/or prevented from completing or causing the completion of the required repair of the applicable damage to the Damaged Improvements as a result of delays due to force majeure excluding, however, delays caused by the negligence or misconduct of any contractor(s) of Landlord and/or subcontractor(s) of such contractor(s).

 

ARTICLE NINE. CONDEMNATION

 

If, during the Lease Term or any extension thereof all or a substantial part of the Demised Premises are taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation or by right of eminent domain, or are conveyed to the condemning authority under threat of condemnation, this Lease shall terminate and the monthly installments of Rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of the Lease Term, effective from the date of the taking.  If less than a substantial part of the Demised Premises is taken for public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or is conveyed to the condemning authority under threat of condemnation, Landlord, at its option, may by written notice terminate this Lease.  If Landlord does not terminate this Lease, Landlord shall promptly, at Landlord’s expense, restore and reconstruct the buildings and improvements (other than leasehold improvements made by Tenant or any assignee, subtenant or other occupant of the Demised Premises) situated on the Property in order to make the same reasonably tenantable and suitable for the use for which the Demised Premises is leased as defined in Section 6.01.  The monthly installments of Rent payable under this Lease during the unexpired portion of the Lease Term shall be adjusted equitably.  Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to receive and retain such separate awards and portions of lump sum awards as may be allocated to their respective interests in any condemnation proceeding.  The termination of this Lease shall not affect the rights of the parties to such awards.

 

ARTICLE TEN. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

 

Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, assign this Lease or sublet the Demised Premises or any portion thereof.  Any assignment or subletting shall be expressly subject to all terms and provisions of this Lease, including the provisions of Section 6.01 pertaining to the use of the Demised Premises.  In the event of any assignment or subletting, Tenant shall remain fully liable for the full performance of all Tenants’ obligations under this Lease; however, a sublessee shall not be obligated to pay more rent than as stated in the applicable sublease, provided that Landlord shall be entitled in all events to receive the full amount of Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease in the time and manner provided in this Lease.  Tenant shall not assign its rights under this Lease or sublet the Demised Premises without first obtaining a written agreement from the assignee or sublessee whereby the assignee or sublessee agrees to assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease and to be bound by the terms of this Lease.  If an event of default occurs and continues while the Demised Premises is assigned or sublet, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, in addition to any other remedies provided in this Lease or by law, collect directly from the assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due under the terms of the assignment or subletting and apply the rent against any sums

 

  

9

  

due to Landlord under this Lease.  No direct collection by Landlord from any assignee or subtenant will release Tenant from Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.  If Landlord fails to respond to any written request by Tenant for Landlord’s consent to any assignment of this Lease or subletting of all or any portion of the Demised Premises (each a “Transfer”) within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of such written request, and such failure continues for five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice thereof (such subsequent notice shall note on the first page thereof, in bold and capitalized letters, that the failure of Landlord to provide written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s decision to give or withhold its consent to the proposed Transfer will constitute a deemed written consent by Landlord to the proposed Transfer), Landlord will be deemed to have consented in writing to the applicable proposed Transfer.  Consent or deemed consent by Landlord to one or more Transfer(s) shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord’s rights to approve any subsequent Transfers.  Tenant may assign its entire interest under this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Demised Premises to its Affiliate (defined below) or to a successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization without the consent of Landlord, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied in Landlord’s reasonable discretion (a “Permitted Transfer Without Landlord Consent”):  (1) no uncured event of default (as defined in Section 11.1) exists under this Lease; (2) Tenant’s successor by purchase shall own all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; (3) Tenant’s successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization shall have a net worth which is at least equal to Tenant’s net worth as of the day prior to the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization; (4) no portion of the Building or Demised Premises will become subject to additional or different laws as a consequence of the proposed Transfer; (5) such Affiliate’s or Tenant’s successor’s use of the Demised Premises shall not conflict with the Permitted Use or any exclusive usage rights granted to any other tenant in the Building provided that such tenant’s lease is in effect on the Effective Date; and (6) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least five (5) business days prior to the effective date of a Transfer to an Affiliate or the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization unless such advance notice cannot be given by Tenant pursuant to any applicable law or other legal requirement, in which case Tenant shall give Landlord such notice as soon as practicable after the effective date of the proposed Transfer, along with all applicable documentation and other information necessary for Landlord to determine that the requirements of this Article 10 have been satisfied.  The term “Affiliate” means any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant or Landlord, as applicable.

 

ARTICLE ELEVEN. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

 

11.01. Default

 

Each of the following events is an event of default under this Lease:

 

A. Failure of Tenant to pay any installment of the Rent or other sum payable to Landlord under this Lease on the date that it is due and the continuance of that failure for a period of five (5) days after Landlord delivers written notice of the failure to Tenant.  This clause shall not be construed to permit or allow a delay in paying Rent beyond the due date and shall not affect Landlord’s right to impose a Late Charge as permitted in Section 3.03.

 

B. Failure of Tenant to comply with any term, condition or covenant of this Lease, other than the payment of Rent or other sum of money, and the continuance of that failure for a period of thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers written notice of the failure to Tenant; provided, however, if Tenant’s failure cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, Tenant shall be allowed additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure the failure so long as; (1) Tenant commences to cure the failure within the 30 day period following Landlord’s initial written notice, and (2) Tenant diligently pursues a course of action that will cure the failure and bring Tenant back into compliance with this Lease

 

C. Intentionally omitted.

 

  

10

  

    D.The commencement by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease of any case, proceeding or other action seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property:

 

    E. The commencement of any case, proceeding or other action against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease seeking to have an order for relief entered against it as debtor, or seeking reorganization arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property, and Tenant or any guarantor:  (i) fails to obtain a dismissal of such case, proceeding, or other action within one hundred twenty (120) days of its commencement; or (ii) converts the case from one chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code to another chapter; or (iii) is the subject of an order of relief which is not fully stayed within seven (7) business days after the entry thereof; and

 

F. Intentionally omitted.

 

11.02. Remedies

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the events of default listed in Section 11.01, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any prior notice or demand.

 

A. Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord.  If Tenant fails to so surrender the Demised Premises, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession of the Demised Premises or Rent in arrears, enter upon and take possession of the Demised Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Demised Premises or any part thereof, by force if necessary, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of the termination, whether through inability to re-let the Demised Premises on satisfactory terms or otherwise.

 

B. Enter upon and take possession of the Demised Premises, by force if necessary, without terminating this Lease and without being liable for prosecution or for any claim for damages, and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Demised Premises or any part thereof Landlord may re-let the Demised Premises and receive the rent therefore.  Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord monthly or on demand from time to time any deficiency that may arise by reason of any such re-letting.  In determining the amount of the deficiency, the professional service fees, attorneys’ fees, court costs, remodeling expenses and other costs of re-letting shall be subtracted from the amount of rent received under the re-letting.

 

C. Enter upon the Demised Premises, by force if necessary, without terminating this Lease and without being liable for prosecution or for any claim for damages, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease.  Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand for expenses which Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, together with for any interest thereon at the rate of seventeen percent (17%) per annum from the date expended until paid.  Landlord shall not be liable damages resulting to Tenant from such action, whether caused by negligence of Landlord or otherwise.

 

D. Accelerate and declare the Rent for the entire Lease Term, and all other amounts due under this Lease, at once due and payable, and proceed by attachment, suit or otherwise, to collect all amounts in the same manner as if all such amounts due or to become due during the entire Lease Term were payable in advance by the terms of this Lease, and neither the enforcement or collection by Landlord of such amounts nor the payment by Tenant of such amounts shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of any breach, existing or in the future, of any of the terms or provisions of this Lease by Tenant or a waiver of any rights or remedies which the Landlord may have with respect to any such breach.

 

E. In addition to the foregoing remedies, Landlord shall have the right to change or modify the locks on the Demised Premises in the event Tenant fails to pay the monthly installment of Rent when due.  Landlord shall not be obligated to provide another key to Tenant or allow Tenant to regain entry to the Demises Premises unless and until Tenant pays Landlord all Rent which is delinquent.  Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to the Tenant from the lockout.  At such time that Landlord changes or modifies the locks Landlord shall post a “ Notice of Change of Locks” on the front of the Demised Premises.  Such Notice shall state that:

 

(1) Tenant’s monthly installment of Rent is delinquent, and therefore, under authority of Section 11.02.E of Tenant’s Lease, the Landlord has exercised its contractual right to change or modify Tenant’s door locks;

 

(2) The Notice has been posted on the Tenant’s front door by a representative of Landlord and Tenant should make arrangements with the representative to pay the delinquent installments of Rent and a $300.00 lockout fee when Tenant picks up the key; and

 

(3) The failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions of the Lease and the Notice and/or tampering with or changing the door lock(s) by Tenant may subject Tenant to legal liability.

 

F. No re-entry or taking possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of that intention is given to Tenant.  Notwithstanding any such re-letting 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 other remedies provided by law, nor shall pursuit of any remedy provided in this Lease constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any monthly

 

  

11

  

installment of Rent due to Landlord under this Lease or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Lease.  Failure of Landlord to declare any default immediately upon its occurrence, or failure to enforce one or more of Landlord’s remedies, or forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of Landlord’s remedies upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of default or waiver of any violation or breach of the terms of this Lease.  Pursuit of any one of the above remedies shall not preclude pursuit by Landlord of any of the other remedies provided in this Lease.  The loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of termination of this Lease or the deficiency from any re-letting as provided for above shall include the expense of repossession and any repairs or remodeling undertaken by Landlord following possession.  If Landlord terminates this Lease at any time for any default:  in addition to other Landlord’s remedies, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by reason of the default, including the cost of recovering the Demised Premises and the Rent then remaining unpaid.

 

If Landlord exercises one or more of its available remedies during the continuance of an event of default listed in Section 11.01, the subsequent curing of such default will not affect Landlord’s right to continue the exercise of such remedies which were commenced prior to the curing of the default.

 

11.03. Notice of Default

 

Tenant shall give written notice of any failure by Landlord to perform any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease to Landlord and to any ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under any deed of trust encumbering the Demised Premises whose name and address have been furnished to Tenant in writing.  Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord (or such, ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary) fails to cure the nonperformance within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice.  However, if the nonperformance reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days to cure, Landlord shall not be in default if the cure is commenced within the 30-day period and is thereafter diligently pursued to completion (each a “Landlord Default”).  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Landlord Default, Tenant may, in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have under this Lease or at law or in equity, at its option (i) if such default is a failure by Landlord to perform any repair, maintenance or warranty obligation of Landlord under this Lease, then to the extent Tenant is prevented from using the Demised Premises in the ordinary course of its business as a result thereof (and does not so use the Demised Premises or a part thereof), abate proportionately payment of the monthly installments of Base Rent and additional Rent to Landlord until such default is cured, or (ii) cure such default and obtain reimbursement for all costs incurred in connection therewith as set forth below.  It after the occurrence of a Landlord Default which is not cured as provided above, Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant for the costs incurred by Tenant to remedy Landlord’s breach within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of written evidence of the amount of such costs, or if Landlord otherwise fails to pay to Tenant any other amount payable by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Lease within 10 days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice that such sum is past due, then Tenant may recover any such amounts owing from Landlord, plus interest thereon at 12% per annum.

 

11.04. Limitation of Landlord’s Liability

 

As used in this Lease, the term “Landlord” means only the current owner or owners of the fee title to the Demised Premises or the leasehold estate under a ground lease of the Demised Premises at the time in question.  Each Landlord is obligated to perform the obligations of Landlord under this Lease only during the time such Landlord owns such interest or title.  Any Landlord who transfers its title or interest is relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations of Landlord under this Lease accruing on or after the date of transfer provided that the applicable transferee assumes all of the obligations of the landlord under this Lease from and after the effective date of the applicable transfer, and Tenant agrees to recognize the transferee as Landlord under this Lease.  However, each Landlord shall deliver to its transferee the Security Deposit held by Landlord if such Security Deposit has not then been applied under the terms of this Lease.

 

ARTICLE TWELVE. LANDLORD’S CONTRACTUAL LIEN

 

Landlord waives, disclaims, relinquishes and releases all prejudgment statutory, constitutional and/or contractual liens and any other interests or rights granted to Landlord by or under present or future laws with respect to this Lease and any property of Tenant or any permitted transferees located at the Demised Premises.  Landlord agrees, within ten (10) days after written request from Tenant, to execute an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in favor of any lender, lessor, vendor or supplier of Tenant, confirming Landlord’s waiver and relinquishment of Landlord’s rights with respect to property owned by Tenant and located at the Property (collectively, “Tenant’s Personalty”).

ARTICLE THIRTEEN. PROTECTION OF LENDERS

 

13.01. Subordination and Attornment

 

Landlord shall have the right to subordinate this Lease to any future ground Lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Demised Premises, and advances made on the security thereof and any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, whenever made or recorded.  Landlord’s right to obtain such a subordination is subject to Landlord’s providing Tenant with a written Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement from the ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee wherein Tenant’s right to peaceable possession of the Demised Premises during the Lease Term shall not be disturbed if Tenant pays the Rent and performs all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and is not otherwise in default in which case Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or successor to Landlord’s interest in the Demised Premises and recognize the transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease.  If any ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee elects to have this Lease superior to the lien of its ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage and gives Tenant written notice thereof, this Lease shall be deemed superior to the ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of the ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage or the date of recording thereof.  Tenant’s rights under this Lease, unless specifically modified at the time this Lease is executed, are subordinated to any existing ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Demised Premises.

 

13.02. Signing of Documents

 

Tenant shall sign and deliver any instruments or documents necessary or appropriate to evidence any attornment or subordination or any agreement to attorn or subordinate.  If Tenant fails to do so within ten (10) business days after written request, and such failure continues for more than five (5) business days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice thereof, Tenant hereby makes, constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord, or any transferee or successor of Landlord, the attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and deliver the attornment or subordination document or agreement.  Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that Genworth Financial (the “Existing Lender”) currently has a lien on the Property and that there are no other loans secured by a lien on the Property.  Landlord agrees to deliver to Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from the Existing Lender in the form of Rider No. 1 attached hereto (the “Initial SNDA”).  Tenant agrees to execute the Initial SNDA concurrently with its execution and delivery of this Lease.  It is understood and agreed that the delivery of the Initial SNDA pursuant to this Section constitutes a material consideration to Tenant in entering into this Lease.  Consequently, if Landlord fails for any reason whatsoever to obtain and deliver to Tenant the Initial SNDA signed by Landlord and the Existing Lender within ten (10) days after the date on which Tenant has delivered to Landlord at least two (2) originals of this Lease each executed by Tenant and at least three (3) originals of the Initial SNDA each executed by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right, as its sole remedy, at law or in equity, in its sole discretion by written notice to Landlord to terminate this Lease at any time prior to the Commencement Date, in which case Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant all amounts theretofore paid to or deposited with Landlord by Tenant.

Tenant shall deliver the statement to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request.  Landlord may forward any such statement to any prospective purchaser or lender of the Demised Premises.  The purchaser or lender may rely conclusively upon the statement as true and correct.

 

B. If Tenant does not deliver the written statement to Landlord within the ten (10) day period and such failure continues for more than five (5) business days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice thereof, Landlord and any prospective purchaser or lender, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts:  (1) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (2) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (3) that not more than one monthly installment of Base Rent and other charges have been paid in advance; (4) there are no claims against Landlord nor any defenses or rights of offset against collection of Rent or other charges; and (5) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease.  In such event, Tenant shall be estopped from denying the truth of the presumed facts.

 

13.04. Tenant’s Financial Condition

 

Provided that no event of default (as defined in Section 11.01 above) has occurred and within ten (10) days of written request from Landlord and not before 90 days after the end of the previous calendar year, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an unaudited balance sheet as of the end of the previous calendar year which reflects the net worth of Tenant, or any assignee, subtenant, or guarantor of Tenant.

Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that each unaudited balance sheet is a true, complete, and accurate statement as of the date thereof.  All financial information shall be confidential and shall be used only for the purposes set forth in this Lease.

ADDENDUM “B” TO LEASE

 

RENEWAL OPTIONS

 

Address of the Premises:  9,957 sf at 4251 Kellway

 

1. Option to Extend the Term

 

 Landlord grants to Tenant one (1) option(s) (each an “Option”) to extend the Term for an additional term of sixty (60) months each (the “Extension”), on the same terms, conditions and covenants set forth in this Lease, except as provided below.  Each Option may be exercised only by written notice delivered to the Landlord no earlier than three hundred (300) days before, and no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days before, the expiration of the Term or the preceding Extension of the Term, whichever is applicable.  If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord a written notice of the exercise of an Option within the prescribed time period, such Option and any succeeding Options will lapse, and there will be no further right to extend the Term.  Each Option may only be exercised by Tenant on the express condition that, at the time of the exercise, no event of default (as defined in Section 11.01) has occurred and is continuing under any of the provisions of this Lease.

 

2. Calculation of Rent

 

The Base Rent during the Extension(s) will be determined by one of the following methods [check one]:

 

X      A.      Fair Market Rental.  The Base Rent during the Extension will be the Fair Market Rental determined as follows:

 

a. The “Fair Market Rental” of the Premises means the price that a ready and willing tenant would pay as of the commencement of the Extension as monthly rent to a ready and willing landlord of Premises comparable to the Premises if the property were exposed for lease on the open market for a reasonable period of time, and taking into account the term of the Extension, the amount of improvements made by Tenant at its expense, the creditworthiness of the Tenant, and all of the purposes for which the property may be used and not just the use proposed to be made of the Premises by Tenant.  Upon proper written notice by Tenant to Landlord of Tenant’s intention to elect to exercise the renewal Option, Landlord shall, within twenty (20) days thereafter, notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s proposed Fair Market Rental amount, and Tenant shall thereupon notify Landlord of Tenant’s acceptance or rejection of Landlord’s proposed amount.  Failure of Tenant to reject Landlord’s Fair Market Rental amount within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice will be deemed Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s proposed Fair Market Rental amount.

 

b. If Landlord and Tenant have not been able to agree on the Fair Market Rental amount within forty (40) days following the exercise of the Option, the Fair Market Rental for the Extension will be determined by the following appraisal process.  Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor in good faith to select a single Appraiser, The term “Appraiser” means a State Certified Real Estate Appraiser licensed by the State of Texas to value commercial property.  If Landlord and Tenant are able to agree upon and select a single Appraiser, that Appraiser will determine the Fair Market Rental for the Extension.

 

If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single Appraiser within ten (10) days after the end of the forty day period, each will then appoint one Appraiser by written notice to the other, given within seven (7) days after the end of the forty day period.  Within five (5) business days after the two Appraisers are appointed, the two Appraisers will appoint a third Appraiser.  If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint its Appraiser within the prescribed time period, the single Appraiser appointed will determine the Fair Market Rental amount of the Premises.  Each party will bear the cost of the appraiser appointed by it and the parties will share equally the cost of the third appraiser.  The Fair Market Rental of the Premises will be the average of two of the three appraisals that are closest in amount and the third appraisal will be disregarded.

 

c. In no event will the Base Rent be reduced for any Extension, regardless of the Fair Market Rental determined by any appraisal.  If the Fair Market Rental is not determined before the commencement of the Extension, then Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord the Base Rent applicable to the Premises immediately before the Extension until the Fair Market Rental amount is determined, and when it is determined, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the Base Rent actually paid by Tenant to Landlord and the new Base Rent.

(e) Liable for any obligation of Landlord under the Lease with respect to any property other than the Property given as security for the Loan, and Tenant will look solely to Landlord for performance and observance of any and all such obligations.

 

If Lender becomes the owner of the Property and thereafter sells or otherwise transfers its interest in the Property, Lender shall have no liability with respect to obligations of the lessor under the Lease which arise following the sale or other transfer of the Property by Lender.

 

4. Third-Party Owner

 

 If someone acquires the Property through Lender, whether at a trustee or foreclosure sale or otherwise, that person shall have the same rights and obligations to continue the Lease with Tenant as Lender would have under this agreement.

 

5. Purchase Options

 

Any option to purchase, right of first refusal, or other right that Tenant has to acquire all or any of the Property is set forth in the Lease.  Tenant agrees that, under paragraph 1 above, any such option or right is hereby made subject and subordinate to the lien of the Deed of Trust / Mortgage and any and all other instruments held by Lender as security for the Loan, and to any and all renewals, modifications and extensions thereof.  Foreclosure of the Deed of Trust / Mortgage or a deed in lieu of foreclosure shall not entitle Tenant to exercise any such option or right, but such option or right shall remain exercisable, upon and subject to the terms of the Lease, after foreclosure of the Deed of Trust / Mortgage or deed given in lieu of foreclosure.

 

6. Covenants of Tenant

 

Tenant covenants as follows:

 

(a) Tenant shall pay to Lender all rent and other payments otherwise payable to Landlord under the Lease upon written demand from Lender.  By its signature below, Landlord consents to Tenant’s payment of rent to Lender upon Lender’s written demand,

  

29

  

 agrees that Tenant may rely solely upon Lender’s written demand regardless of any dispute between Landlord and Tenant, and releases and discharges Tenant from all liability to Landlord for any payment of rent made as instructed by Lender in writing.

 

(b) Tenant shall not subordinate its rights under the Lease to any other mortgage, Deed of Trust / Mortgage or other security instrument without the prior written consent of Lender.

 

(c) Tenant shall notify Lender if Landlord is in default under the Lease and will give Lender thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice in which to cure the default before Tenant invokes any of its remedies under the Lease.

 

7. Assignment of Lease

 

Tenant understands that Landlord’s interest in the Lease has been assigned to Lender in connection with the Loan.  Until Lender becomes owner of the Property, however, Lender assumes no duty, liability or obligation to Tenant under the Lease.

 

8. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees

 

In the event of any claim or dispute arising out of this agreement, the party that substantially prevails shall be awarded, in addition to all other relief, all attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the claim or dispute, including without limitation those fees, costs and expenses incurred before, during or after suit, in any arbitration, in any appeal, in any proceedings under any present or future bankruptcy act or state receivership, and in any post-judgment proceedings.

 

9. Notices

 

Any notices under this agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.  Any notice sent to a party shall be sent to the party at its address below its signature hereon.  Each mailed notice shall be deemed given three (3) days after its postmark.  Any party may change its address by notice to the other parties.

 

10. Miscellaneous

 

This agreement may not be modified except in a writing executed by the parties or their successors in interest.  This agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, administrators, representatives, successors, and assigns.  This agreement may be executed in counterparts, in which case all originals together shall constitute a single instrument.

Oryon Technologies LLC

Tenant Improvement Plan

March 10, 2010

 

This document accompanies the attached drawings for 4251 Kellway and represents the improvements that Oryon currently intends to make.

 

These improvements represent the initial work we intend to do but not the entire work that we may ultimately do.  This initial work will enable us to be operational in the space.

 

The following is a more detailed description of the work and references the attached drawings.

 

Page titled “Addison Site, As Is” Each page title is placed at the bottom center of each page and is what we are using to describe each set of descriptions for the work being done.  “As Is” shows the space as it is today and is our guide for how the space is today against the other 3 pages which shows where we want to modify the space to meet our use.

 

Page titled “Addison Site, Patch and Epoxy Floor”

 

This page shows the area of the space that we would like to have cleaned, prepped, patched and epoxy treated with a non-slip, chemical resistant application.  You will notice that since we have elected not to have the new offices installed at this time, the coverage area is larger than our previous plan.

 

Page titled “Addison Site, Add Walls”

This page shows all the work on walls in the space.  Some of the work requires some demolition work and some of the work requires building of new walls.  Here are the detailed requests.

	
  

	
1)

	
At the front entrance, remove the glass reception window that is currently in place and finish that as a wall that matches the current wall.

 

	
  

	
2)

	
At the intersection just beyond the entrance to the offices from the reception door way, we need to demolish part or the entire closet that is currently in place and make this the entrance to the bathroom which is currently accessible from the break room.  We want to be in compliance with ADA codes so that we won’t have to do work in the future on this bathroom entrance.

 

	
  

	
3)

	
In the break room, the door to the bathroom will be removed as well as the frame and the present door will be replaced with a wall.

 

	
  

	
4)

	
The water heater will be moved to the “mop closet” that is near the southern entrance to the warehouse.  In place of the current water heater will be some mill work to finish the counter top of the sink and have a dishwasher put in its place.  If the current wall that is to the left of the sink can remain in place without it causing an issue to put in the dishwasher, we are fine with that.

 

	
  

	
5)

	
Add the new wall which will make the conference / show room as a finished closed room.  We will need to add a door to this room near the entrance to the offices from the reception area.

 

	
  

	
6)

	
We will need to have electrical outlets placed in the conference / show room as detailed on Page 4 — “Proposed Layout”

 

	
  

	
7)

	
We will need to have a wall built at the roll-up door of the southernmost roll-up door and the vinyl curtain placed from the wall to the wall between the door and the roll-up door.

March 10, 2010

8)           We will leave the door that is currently in place between the office and the warehouse.  This is the only office that has a door that opens into the warehouse.

 

Page titled “Addison Site, Proposed Layout”

This page shows where the equipment will be placed and where we need to have the required power drops as currently listed as alternative #2.  This is a required improvement in order for us to move in.  Here are the additional requirements related to page 4.

	
  

	
1)

	
The electrical drops and air drops are reflected on this page.  We may need to move equipment slightly but the drops should not be affected as we have discussed having flexibility on connecting our equipment in this area.

 

	
  

	
2)

	
New outlets in the conference room / show room as reflected on page 4.

 

	
  

	
3)

	
We will utilize the outlets that are on the wall where the “mushroom” like work stations will be placed.  We just need to confirm that these outlets are “hot” and can be used.

 

	
  

	
4)

	
We need to confirm that all the outlets in all the offices and throughout the warehouse are functioning.

 

	
  

	
5)

	
We need to ensure that the air/heating ducts in the break room and new conference room are in place.

 

	
  

	
6)

	
We need additional outlets placed in the warehouse along the south side wall and east side wall where the 3 offices that are NOT being installed were previously proposed.  See new drawings.  The new outlets are marked in purple dots.  The dot that appears in the center of the room in near the new wall that will make up the conference room is a pole and we would like a double outlet placed on that pole.

 

Additional details on requested work:

	
  

	
1)

	
The outside fenced cage needs to be redone so it can be secure and hold the air compressor and 55 gallon drum.

 

	
  

	
2)

	
The 2 northernmost restrooms need to have toilets placed and bars that meet ADA compliance.  We intend on making both of these bathrooms unisex and will need the urinal currently in the northern-west restroom removed and have the plumbing capped.  The sinks in both are OK.  Please confirm that the height of the sinks in both rest rooms is an acceptable height for ADA compliance.

 

	
  

	
3)

	
The remaining smaller southernmost restrooms which are accessed through the hallway that leads from the reception to the warehouse and will be defined as the restrooms nearest the conference room should have the doors replaced and mirrors placed above each sink respectively.

 

	
  

	
4)

	
The millwork to place the upper and lower cabinets in the break room and the water line for the refrigerator and the coffee maker should be included in our scope of work.

 

	
  

	
5)

	
In the area of the warehouse which has the drops for power and air, we require the lighting to be fixed to the total brightness that is currently seen in the back northern-east corner of the warehouse.  The entire section where the equipment is placed in that section of the warehouse, we will need the UV protective lenses that are placed on those ballasts.

6)

	
New ventilation hole placed in the roof for heat exhausts.  This is required and needs to meet Walters’s approval to ensure it does not impact the warranty currently in place for the roof.

 

	
  

	
7)

	
Flexible ducting that will allow us to place the flexible ducting over the equipment for proper dissipation of heat generated by these machines.  Proposed hoods are to be priced separately as we may not require the hoods.

 

	
  

	
8)

	
We will require the washer and dryer hook-up for power, water and ventilation to be placed on the wall just outside the door to the janitor closet.

 

	
  

	
9)

	
We will want to have a emergency eye wash station placed at the location of the water line that is currently located on the easternmost wall next to the current GE compressor fuse box.

 

	
  

	
10)

	
Insulation of both roll-up dock doors so that no wind or debris can enter the warehouse when they are closed.

 

	
  

	
11)

	
For clarification, all paint and carpet that will be used should match the existing paint and carpet in the building currently.

 

	
  

	
12)

	
We need to have the bathroom toilets in the 2 northern most bathrooms replaced with fixtures that are ADA approved and the bars behind and on the side of each toilet.  We need to make sure that the flushing handle is placed away from the wall for easy access.

 

	
  

	
13)

	
If the door to the bathrooms on the north most side do not provide for 18 inch clearance from the wall to the handle then we need to make these doors push in doors that have a lock on the inside.

 

This revised plan details the scope of work that we need done in order to be operational in the building.

 

Please contact Sam Aloni (office 214-267-1321 or cell 408-627-1608) with any questions or clarifications that are needed.

ORYONTECHNOLOGIES, LLC

 

SERIES C-1 CONVERTIBLE NOTE

 

For value received, OryonTechnologies, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Payor”), promises to pay to ____________________________, a ________________ company, or its assigns (“Holder”), the principal sum of $_______________, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon as set forth below.

 

This Series C-1 Convertible Note (this “Note”) is one of multiple Series C Convertible Notes consisting of Series C-1, Series C-2 and Series C-3 Notes (collectively, the “Series C Notes”) issued by the Payor.  Holder acknowledges and agrees that this Note is issued to Holder, and shall be held by Holder pursuant to the terms of a Subscription Agreement of even date herewith between Payor and Holder and pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), as amended, as of the date hereof between Payor and M. Richard Marcus (“Collateral Agent”).  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Regulations of the Payor, as may be amended from time to time.

 

Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall accrue at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, compounded annually, commencing on the date hereof, and shall be payable quarterly at the election of the Payor on the last day of each calendar quarter commencing with the first quarter of 2011; provided, however, that all accrued unpaid interest shall be payable on December 31, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”) and all accrued unpaid interest shall be converted to Common Membership Units of the Payor (the “Membership Units”) if the principal is converted to Membership Units.  If not sooner converted, the entire unpaid balance of principal and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.  If not sooner converted or paid as of the Maturity Date, any accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be added to the principal and the then outstanding principal balance shall be payable in two (2) substantially equal annual installments on December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014 (the “Principal Installment Dates”), together with interest earned thereon at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, compounded annually, which interest shall be paid quarterly commencing with the first quarter of 2013. Payment of principal and interest hereunder shall be made by check delivered to Holder at the address furnished to Payor for the purpose of payment.

 

All or part of the outstanding balance of principal and accrued and unpaid interest of this Note may be prepaid (a “Prepayment”) by the Payor at any time, and from time to time upon ten (10) days notice to Holder, without penalty or additional fees; provided, however, that upon such notice of Prepayment to the Holders, the Holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate combined outstanding principal amount of the Series C Notes of the Payor (the “Majority Holders”) may elect to convert the Prepayment amount into Membership Units of Payor (a “Prepayment Group Conversion”).  Any Prepayment Group Conversion approved by the Majority Holders shall be binding on all Holders of the Series C Notes including the Holder of this Note.  After the Maturity Date, any partial payment of the outstanding principal under this Note made prior to a Principal Installment Date shall be credited against the scheduled installment of principal due on such Principal Installment Date.

 

  

1

  

At the occurrence of a Conversion Event (as defined below), on or before the Maturity Date, the entire outstanding principal balance of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, this Note shall be automatically converted at the rate equal to the lesser of (i) $0.50 per Membership Unit and (ii) if the Conversion Event is a Qualified Financing, the lowest price per Membership Unit issued in a Qualified Financing or issuable upon the conversion to, or upon the exercise of rights to acquire, Membership Units pursuant to securities issued in a Qualified Financing (the “Conversion Rate”) at the option of the Payor into the number of Membership Units calculated as hereinafter provided.

 

The number of Membership Units issuable upon the conversion of this Note shall be obtained by dividing the outstanding principal balance of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, this Note as of the closing date of the Conversion Event by the Conversion Rate.  The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted to reflect any Membership Unit split, Membership Unit combination or Membership Unit dividend affecting the number of Membership Units (or securities convertible into Membership Units) outstanding. Cash will be paid by the Payor in lieu of any fractional Membership Unit.

 

A “Conversion Event” shall mean:  (a) the determination by Payor to require conversion of the Series C Notes, in the sole discretion of the Board of Managers of Payor, if Payor issues any equity or debt securities in a single transaction or a series of related transactions pursuant to an agreement with one or more investors to provide at least $2 million of debt or equity capital to the Company (which may be provided in tranches or installments and subject to various conditions or contingencies) within eighteen (18) months after the initial date of issuance of Series C Notes (a “Qualified Financing”); (b) a “Liquidity Event” pursuant to which the Members of Payor receive (directly or by distribution by the Payor) proceeds or securities in respect of the Member’s Membership Units as a result of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Payor having a value per Membership Unit not less than the Conversion Rate; or (c) a “Change of Control” pursuant to which a party other than an existing Member of the Payor or such Member’s affiliates acquires more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting control of the Payor individually or in connection with any group as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

If no Conversion Event or Prepayment Group Conversion occurs prior to the Maturity Date, the Majority Holders may elect to convert all of the Series C Notes into Membership Units of the Payor upon five (5) days prior written notice to Payor commencing after the Maturity Date (a “Post-Maturity Group Conversion”).  Any Post-Maturity Group Conversion approved by the Majority Holders shall be binding on all Holders of the Series C Notes including the Holder of this Note.

 

If this Note is automatically converted, written notice shall be delivered to Holder of the Note at the address last shown on the records of Payor for Holder or given by Holder to Payor for the purpose of such notice or, if no such address appears or is given, at the place where the principal executive office of Holder is located, notifying Holder of the conversion, specifying the principal amount of the Note converted, the amount of accrued and unpaid interest converted, the date of such conversion and calling upon such Holder to surrender this Note to the Payor in exchange for Membership Units of the Payor as provided herein, in the manner and at the place designated by Payor.

 

  

2

  

 

Subject to the terms of this Note, all or part of this Note may be converted to Membership Units at any time or from time to time at the Conversion Rate at the option of the Holder upon written notice by the Holder (a “Conversion Election”) to the Payor requesting such conversion and specifying the principal amount and amount of accrued unpaid interest to be converted.  The Conversion Election shall be accompanied by surrender of this Note.  In no event may the Holder elect to convert less than the lesser of (i) twenty-five percent of the original principal amount of this Note and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of this Note.  The conversion of this Note at the option of the Holder shall be effective five business days after receipt by the Payor of the Conversion Election.

As promptly as practicable after the conversion of this Note, Payor, at its expense, will issue and deliver to Holder of this Note, upon surrender of this Note, a certificate or certificates for the number of Membership Units issuable upon such conversion and a Note in the amount of the remaining outstanding principal balance of this Note (if any).

 

All payments of interest and principal shall be in lawful money of the United States of America.  All payments shall be applied first to costs of collection, if any, then to accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter to principal.

 

Payor hereby waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor.

 

This Note and the obligations evidenced hereby are secured by a first priority security interest on the assets of the Payor as set forth in the Security Agreement.

 

The Series C Notes will be pari passu such that all Series C Notes will rank equally and no cash payments will be made under any Series C Note unless a pro rata cash payment is simultaneously made under all other Series C Notes.

 

Any provisions herein or any other document executed or delivered in connection herewith, or in any other agreement or commitment, whether written or oral, expressed or implied, to the contrary notwithstanding, no Holder hereof shall in any event be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall or may amounts received hereunder be credited, so that Holder shall be paid, as interest, a sum greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged to the person, partnership, firm or corporation primarily obligated to pay this Note at the time in question.

 

Prior to the occurrence of a Conversion Event, any of the terms of this Note (including, without limitation, the Maturity Date, the rate of interest and the conversion features) may be waived or modified as follows:

 

Any waiver under, or modification of, this Note may be made pursuant to the written agreement of Payor and Holder; or

 

Any waiver, modification or amendment applicable to all of the Series C Notes, and any exchange of the Series C Notes for other securities or any waiver, modification or amendment of the Security Agreement (collectively, a “Group Note Modification”), shall be made if such Group Modification is approved in writing by the Payor and the Majority Holders.  Any Group Note Modification approved by the Payor and the Majority Holders shall be binding on all Holders of the Series C Notes including the Holder of this Note.

In order to effect any Prepayment Group Conversion, Post-Maturity Group Conversion or Group Note Modification approved by the Majority Holders, or the exercise of any rights under the Security Agreement as approved by the Majority Holders, Holder agrees as follows:

 

Holder hereby makes, constitutes and appoints M. Richard Marcus and Mark E. Pape, and each of them, with the power of substitution and full power to act without the other (the “Attorney-in-Fact”), the true and lawful attorney of Holder, with full power and authority in Holder’s name, place and stead to (A) date, execute and deliver for and on behalf of Holder in the name, place and stead of Holder and for the use and benefit of Holder: (i) any documents relating to a Prepayment Group Conversion approved by the Majority Holders; (ii) any documents relating to a Post-Maturity Group Conversion approved by the Majority Holders; (iii) any documents relating to a Group Note Modification approved by the Payor and the Majority Holders; (iv) any signature page or joinder agreement on behalf of the Holder evidencing Holder’s execution of the Regulations of the Payor in effect upon conversion of this Note to Membership Units of the Payor as herein provided; and (v) any other instruments and documents as the Attorney-in-Fact may deem necessary and appropriate in connection with the obligations and rights of Holder under this Note and (B) take any action or exercise any rights under the Security Agreement on behalf of all of the Holders of the Series C Notes, as may be approved by the Majority Holders.

 

Holder hereby grants to the Attorney-in-Fact full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing which may be necessary or convenient, in connection with the foregoing, as fully, to all intents and purposes, as Holder might or could do in connection with this Note hereby ratifying and confirming all that the Attorney-in-Fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by authority hereof.  Any such actions, which are approved by the Majority Holders, shall be binding on all Holders of the Series C Notes including the Holder of this Note.  Holder acknowledges and agrees that Holder shall have no individual right to take any enforcement action under this Note or the Security Agreement other than to vote with respect to any proposed action to be taken by the Attorney-in-Fact on behalf of all Holders of the Series C Notes.

 

This power of attorney granted hereby is irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall not terminate on the disability of Holder, nor shall the authority of said Attorney-in-Fact to act pursuant hereto be affected or terminated by such disability.  Any person, firm or corporation shall be fully protected in relying upon this power of attorney unless and until actual notice of its revocation or actual notice of the death of Holder is received.  The rights, powers and authority of the Attorney-in-Fact herein granted shall commence and be in full force and effect on the date hereof, and such rights, powers and authority shall remain in full force and effect so long as this Note remains outstanding.

 

The Attorney-in-Fact shall submit for approval by the Majority Holders (i)  any proposed Group Note Modification recommended by the Payor, (ii) any proposed Prepayment Group Conversion or Post-Maturity Group Conversion recommended by the Payor by the holders of at least 10% of the aggregate combined outstanding principal amount of the Series C Notes (the “Proposing Holders”), and (iii) any action proposed to be taken under this Note or the Security Agreement recommended by the Proposing Holders.  The Attorney-in-Fact shall submit any proposal for approval by the Majority Holders to each Holder of Series C Notes via e-mail to such Holder’s e-mail address provided on such Holder’s Series C Note subscription agreement promptly after receipt of such proposal from the Payor or the Proposing Holders.  Any approval by the Majority 

 

  

4

  

 

Holders shall be evidenced by a written consent of the Majority Holders.  Such written consent may be executed in counterparts and must be received by the Attorney-in-Fact within five (5) days after submission of such proposal to the Holders of Series C Notes unless an additional time period to return such consents is specified by the Attorney-in-Fact.  Any such consent shall be effective as of the date specified in the consent and shall be binding on all Holders of Series C Notes regardless of whether any such Holders received notice of such proposal or consented to such proposal.  The Attorney-in-Fact shall promptly notify all Holders of Series C Notes of any matter approved by the Majority Holders.

 

The terms of this Note shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas as applied to contracts entered into by Texas residents, which contracts are to be performed entirely within the State of Texas.

A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.

 

(b) Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of Grantor under Section 5 hereof), including, without limitation, (i) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any Collateral; (ii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (i) above; (iii) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral; and (iv) to execute assignments, licenses and other documents to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral.  This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until all of the Obligations are paid in full after the termination of Notes.

 

(c) For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies hereunder, at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Grantor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor, wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, Grantor may exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of its business.  In furtherance of the foregoing, unless a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Collateral Agent shall from time to time, upon the request of Grantor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, which Grantor shall have certified are appropriate (in Grantor’s judgment) to allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to this clause (c) as to any Intellectual Property).  Further, upon the payment in full of all of the Obligations after the cancellation or termination of the Notes, the Collateral Agent (subject to Section 11(e) hereof) shall release and reassign to Grantor all of the Collateral Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property, and the IP Licenses, all without recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever and at Grantor’s sole expense.

Grantor hereby releases the Collateral Agent from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent under the powers of attorney granted herein other than actions taken or omitted to be taken through the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction.

  

12

  

 

(d) If Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, in the name of Grantor or the Collateral Agent, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantor pursuant to Section 8 hereof and shall be secured by the Collateral.

 

(e) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.  Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

 

(f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding (i) Grantor shall remain liable under the IP Licenses and otherwise with respect to any of the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed; (ii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights hereunder shall not release Grantor from any of its obligations under the IP Licenses or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement under the IP Licenses or with respect to any of the other Collateral, nor shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

 

7. Remedies Upon Default.  If any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

 

(a) Subject to Section 7(f) hereof, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into the Collateral Agent’s name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent the Collateral Agent has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the benefit of the Note Holders, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof; (ii) require Grantor to, and Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place or places to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Collateral

Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Collateral shall be required by law, at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent and the Note Holders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, and waive all rights that Grantor may have to require that all or any part of the Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof.  Grantor hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent shall be made without warranty; (ii) the Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like; and (iii) such actions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of the Collateral.  In addition to the foregoing, (i) upon written notice to Grantor from the Collateral Agent, Grantor shall cease any use of the Intellectual Property or any trademark, patent or copyright similar thereto for any purpose described in such notice; (ii) the Collateral Agent may, at any time and from time to time, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Grantor, license, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any of the Intellectual Property, throughout the universe for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (iii) the Collateral Agent may, at any time, pursuant to the authority granted in Section 6 hereof (such authority being effective upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default execute and deliver on behalf of Grantor, one or more instruments of assignment of the Intellectual Property (or any application or registration thereof), in form suitable for filing, recording or registration in any country.

 

(b) Any cash held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral and all Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8 hereof) in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as the Collateral Agent shall elect.  Any surplus of such cash or Cash Proceeds held by the Collateral Agent and remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations after termination of the Notes shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

  

14

  

 

(c) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Collateral Agent and the Note Holders are legally entitled, Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the rate specified in the Notes for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the fees, costs, expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

 

(d) Grantor hereby acknowledges that if the Collateral Agent complies with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.

 

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.  To the extent that Grantor lawfully may, Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Grantor hereby irrevocably waive the benefits of all such laws.

 

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 7 to the contrary, the Collateral Agent agrees that:  (i) nothing herein shall entitle the Collateral Agent to keep the Collateral in lieu of effecting a commercially reasonable sale of the Collateral if the sales proceeds would exceed the amount of the Obligations secured hereby; (ii) the Collateral Agent shall provide not less than thirty (30) days notice to Grantor and the members of Grantor of the time and place of any public sale; and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall provide not less than thirty (30) days notice to Grantor and the members of Grantor of the time after which any private sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made and no such private sale, license or other disposition shall be entered into by the Collateral Agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after such notice is provided to Grantor and the members of Grantor.
