to Tenant which is left in the Premises at the end of the Term will be governed
by the provisions of Section 52 of Title 41 of the Oklahoma Statues, as the
same may be amended from time to time. If Tenant remains in possession of the
Premises after any applicable Expiration Date and continues to pay Rent, and
Landlord accepts such Rent, without any express written agreement as to such

ARTICLE IV

 

RENT

 

4.1                                 Base Rent.  Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the applicable
Base Rent specified in Section 1.2 above. All Base Rent shall be paid in
advance commencing on the Commencement Date and on the first (1st)
day of each calendar month thereafter during the Term If the Commencement Date
is on other than the first day of a calendar month, the first installment of
Base Rent shall be prorated based on the number of days from the Commencement
Date to the first day of the next succeeding calendar month. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Rent for the 703 sq ft
occupied by Landlord on the t floor of the Building described in Exhibit A
until such time as Landlord completely vacates such space and makes available
such space for Tenant’s quiet enjoyment and peaceful possession.

4.3                                 Delinquent
Rent.  If any Ease Rent is
not paid within ten (10) days of the day on which it becomes due (i.e. the
first of each month), Landlord may collect a late charge in any amount equal to
ten percent (10%) of the delinquent sum. Late charges shall be considered
Additional Rent and failure to pay the same shall be considered a default
hereunder. Any Rent which remains unpaid fur more than thirty (30) days
following its due date shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the
rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum (the “Default Rate”) based on a
360-day year. Payment of such late charges and/or interest shall, at Landlord’s
option, be a condition precedent to curing any default hereunder. Landlord’s
acceptance of subsequent installments of Rent without having received any
accrued late charges or interest will not waive Landlord’s right to collect
such late charges and interest at any time thereafter, including if applicable,
at the expiration or sooner termination of the Team

 

4.4                                 Payments
Under Lease.  Except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay all Rent
provided for herein without demand. The obligations of the Tenant to pay Rent
under this Lease is an independent covenant and no act or circumstance
whatsoever (whether constituting a default by Landlord or not) will release
Tenant from the obligation to pay Rent timely or give rise to any deduction
from or setoff against Rent payable hereunder.

ARTICLE V

 

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

 

5.1                                 Construction
and Installation of the Tenant Improvements. The construction and
installation of Tenant improvements shall be governed by the Work Letter, if
any, attached to this Lease as Exhibit D. Except as may be specifically set
forth in any such Work Letter, Landlord shall have no obligation for the
construction and installation of Tenant improvements or the completion or
remodeling of the Premises. Tenant agrees to accept the Premises in their “as
is” condition after completion of any portion of the work to be performed by
Landlord. If Landlord is delayed in delivering the Premises to Tenant due to
the failure of a prior occupant to vacate or remove its property from the same,
then Landlord’s obligation to commence its portion of its work if any, shall be
delayed by a like period of time. The postponement of Tenant’s obligation to
pay Rent and other sums hereunder shall be in full settlement of all claims which
Tenant may otherwise have by reason of such delay of delivery.

 

5.2                                 Acceptance
of Premises. Except as provided in the Work Letter, taking
possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence as against
Tenant that the Premises were in the condition agreed upon between Landlord and
Tenant and acknowledgment of satisfactory completion of any work to be
performed by Landlord.

default under this Lease. Landlord agrees to apply the Rules and Regulations in

the Estimated Expense Increase. In the event that a comparative statement
evidences that the Actual Expense Increase with respect to each quarter was
greater than the Estimated Expense Increase for such calendar quarter, then
Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such excess as Additional Rent with the
next quarterly installment of additional rent pursuant to this Paragraph. In
the event that a comparative statement shall show that the Actual Expense
Increase amount for a calendar quarter was less than the Estimated Expense.
Increase amount for such quarter, then Tenant shall receive a credit for such
amount from Landlord to the extent that Tenant has paid the Estimated Expense
Increase amount pursuant to this Paragraph.

 

“Actual
Expense Increase” The amount by which Operating Expenses in any particular
calendar year exceed Operating Expenses incurred in the Base Expense Year but
shall, in no event, exceed five percent (5%) of Operating Expenses actually
incurred in the prior calendar year.

 

“Estimated
Expense Increase” Landlord’s estimate of the amount by which Operating Expenses
for any particular calendar year will exceed Operating Expenses for the Base
Expense Year but shall, in no event, exceed five percent (5%) of the Operating
Expenses actually incurred in the prior calendar year.

 

(b)                                 Landlord’s
and Tenant’s responsibilities with respect to the Operating Expense adjustment
described herein shall survive the expiration or early termination of this
Lease. If Tenant shall dispute the amount of an adjustment by Landlord or any
proposed estimated increase or decrease in the Estimated Operating Expenses, or
comparative statement, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such
dispute within thirty (30) days after Landlord advises of such comparative
statement, adjustment or proposed increase or decrease. If Tenant does not give
Landlord such notice within such time, Tenant shall have waived its right to dispute
the amounts so determined. If Tenant timely objects, Tenant shall have the
right, at its own expense (except as set forth below), to engage its own
accountants for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the statement
complained of or the reasonableness of the estimated increase or decrease. If
Tenant determines that an error has been made, Landlord and Tenant shall
endeavor to agree upon the matter, failing which the parties shall subject such
matter to an independent certified public accountant selected by landlord and
reasonably acceptable to Tenant, for a determination which shall be final,
conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Notwithstanding the tendency
of any dispute over any particular statement, Tenant shall continue to pay
Landlord the amount of the quarterly installments of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of
Operating Expenses determined by Landlord until the adjustment has been
determined to be

 

6

 

incorrect. If it shall be determined that any
portion of the Operating Expenses were not properly chargeable to Tenant, then
Landlord shall promptly credit or refund the appropriate sum to Tenant and if
such improperly chargeable amounts exceed five percent (5%) of total Operating
Expenses, Landlord shall be responsible for the reasonable costs of such
verification and determination.

performance of any obligation and the performance of such obligation is made
