(g) Subsection 7.b. of the Lease is amended by deleting all the language added to the end of such Subsection pursuant to Subsection 2(k) of the First Amendment.
(h) Subsection 7.c. of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following:
“c. Repairs; Maintenance. Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain the Premises to the Zale Headquarters Standard and, except as hereinafter expressly provided, in good repair and condition, and perform routine care of landscaping and regular mowing of grass, and servicing, maintenance, repair and replacements of all aspects of the Premises including, without limitation, servicing, maintenance, and repairs of Tenant Capital Items and Landlord Capital Items, and replacements of Tenant Capital Items (but not replacements of Landlord Capital Items), all in a manner consistent with the Zale Headquarters Standard, subject to ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation. Landlord, at its expense, shall replace Landlord Capital Items (if necessary during the Term) in accordance with the Zale Headquarters Standard. As used in this Lease, “Landlord Capital Items” shall mean the roof, roof membrane, foundation slab, foundation, curtain wall, interior permanent load-bearing walls and support columns and other structural components of the Building and parking structure. As used in this Lease, “Tenant Capital Items” shall mean all non-structural components and all operating systems and components of the Building, including without limitation the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, the plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems, all other Building systems, elevators, escalators, the paved parking areas, sidewalks and driveways, all non-structural aspects of the parking structure, and any above-ground storage tanks now existing or hereafter placed in or on the Premises, including without limitation any such tanks installed to replace those described in Section 24 of this Lease. Regarding the parking structure, for example (without limitation), crack(s) in the façade(s), tier(s), and/or column(s) of the parking structure capable of being repaired by patching, sealing or replacements of immaterial areas or sections of concrete of the parking structure shall be considered non-structural repairs or
-4-
replacements and accordingly are Tenant Capital Items for which Tenant shall be responsible at its cost. Serious structural defects requiring replacements of major portions or the entirety of the façade(s), tier(s) and/or column(s) or material areas or sections of concrete of the parking structure would be examples of replacements of Landlord Capital Items for which Landlord would be responsible at its cost. Tenant Capital Items shall also include any utility lines, conduits, meters or other equipment located on lands abutting or adjacent to the Premises that are owned or leased by Tenant or its affiliate(s) to the extent that same pertain to utilities serving the Premises. “Casualty” shall include damage by fire, storm, flood, explosion, falling objects, riot, insurrection, acts of war and acts of God. Tenant shall, throughout the Term, take good care of the Premises and keep them free from waste or nuisance and, at the end of the Term, deliver the Premises and all improvements and equipment therein (other than Tenant’s Property that Tenant elects to remove or Landlord requires be removed) clean and free of trash and in good repair and condition, except for ordinary wear and tear and casualty between the last necessary repair, replacement, or restoration made by Tenant or Landlord pursuant to such party’s respective obligations under this Lease. On the first day of each month during the Term, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a completed maintenance checklist, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C, together with copies of all Service Contracts (defined below) that have not previously been delivered by Tenant to Landlord, including, without limitation, for janitorial, landscaping, elevator and escalator service, and for routine maintenance of all Building systems including, without limitation, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, and life-safety and HVAC systems. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, may from time to time inspect the Premises to ensure Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Section 7 and the other provisions of this Lease; currently, Landlord anticipates making such inspections on a quarter-annual basis, but may make such inspections more frequently in its reasonable discretion. Any entry by Landlord under this Section 7 shall be during Tenant’s normal business hours, following reasonable oral notice by Landlord to Tenant. Landlord’s representatives shall be accompanied at all times during such inspections by representatives designated by Tenant, and Landlord shall strictly observe all security procedures reasonably promulgated by Tenant from time to time during the Term applicable to such visits. If any inspection reveals that Tenant is not properly and timely performing any maintenance, repair and/or replacement obligations with respect to the Premises including, without limitation, its servicing, maintenance, and repair (but not replacement) obligations with respect to Landlord Capital Items, in the manner required hereunder, Landlord may notify Tenant as to such matters, and Tenant shall promptly perform the applicable servicing, maintenance, repair and/or replacement obligations in a manner as necessary to maintain the Premises to the Zale Headquarters Standard and all improvements and equipment therein in good order and condition. If such failure by Tenant pertains to (i) any of the matters described on Exhibit C attached hereto, (ii) any servicing, repair or maintenance obligations of Tenant hereunder with respect to Tenant Capital Items and/or Landlord Capital Items, (iii) any replacement obligations with respect to Tenant Capital Items, or (iv) any of the other matters necessary to maintain the Premises to the Zale Headquarters Standard (any of such matters constituting and being hereinafter referred to as a “Material Tenant Repair”), Landlord shall notify Tenant of such failure in writing. If Tenant fails to perform a Material Tenant Repair after receipt
-5-
of written notice from Landlord describing the work to be performed, within the period specified in such notice by Landlord (which specified period shall be a commercially reasonable length of time given the scope of the work to be performed, sufficient to complete the type of work described in such notice and may vary from notice to notice) (the “Designated Cure Period”), and such failure continues for an additional ten (10) day period following Landlord’s second written notice of the need for such Material Tenant Repair, Landlord shall be entitled to (y) cause such specific Material Tenant Repair to be performed as required under the terms of this Lease and/or (z) declare an Event of Default under this Lease, without any further notice, grace or cure rights. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt from Landlord of Landlord’s written demand therefor, the actual costs incurred by Landlord in performing the Material Tenant Repair (collectively, the “Maintenance Charges”).
In addition, if Landlord reasonably determines that emergency repairs are necessary to avoid imminent personal injury or imminent substantial damage to the Premises (an “Emergency Repair”), and Landlord is unable to contact Tenant, despite Landlord’s reasonable, good faith efforts to do so given the circumstances of the specific emergency, or if, after contacting Tenant, Tenant refuses or fails to act promptly and appropriately, Landlord shall be entitled to cause the Emergency Repair to be made in a manner that complies, as closely as possible given the circumstances, with all of Tenant’s security procedures. Landlord shall notify Tenant as soon as practicable of the Emergency Repair and the work undertaken to alleviate the immediate emergency. Tenant shall pay Landlord within thirty (30) days following written demand, for the actual cost of work performed by or on behalf of Landlord to effect the Emergency Repair.
For purposes of this Lease, the “Zale Headquarters Standard” shall be as described on Exhibit E, attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes.
With respect to any improvement, alteration or addition proposed by Tenant pursuant to Subsection 7.b. and/or any Material Tenant Repair required to be made by Tenant pursuant to this Subsection 7.c. of an estimated cost exceeding $500,000.00, Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant, prior to commencement of such work, to comply with one of the following at Landlord’s election: (i) to post payment and/or performance bonds or (ii) to provide other assurances reasonably acceptable to Landlord (such as a letter of credit or other security) to ensure timely payment and performance of such items.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, during the final five (5) years of the Term, if Tenant is obligated to make (and makes) a replacement of a Tenant Capital Item the cost of which exceeds $250,000.00, that has a useful life that extends beyond the Expiration Date, Landlord will reimburse Tenant proportionately for the cost of the replacement within thirty (30) days following completion thereof, to the extent that the remaining useful life of such Tenant Capital Item (assuming normal use and proper maintenance and repair), extends beyond the Expiration Date. The useful lives of certain replacement Tenant Capital Item shall be determined by reference to the estimated service lives of various system components surveyed and compiled by the Technical
-6-
Committee of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (“ASHRAE”) and set forth in Chapter 36 of the 2003 ASHRAE Handbook, Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning Applications, Inch-Pound Edition, adjusted for local conditions (“ASHRAE Standards”), as same may be updated from time to time during the Term. If the useful life of the replacement Tenant Capital Item is not addressed by ASHRAE Standards, the useful life of such replacement Tenant Capital Item shall be determined by Landlord in its reasonable judgment. For purposes of the calculation of the reimbursement obligation of Landlord pursuant to this paragraph, the useful life of such replacement item shall be the lesser of (i) the actual useful life of such item or (ii) seven (7) years, notwithstanding that a longer useful life may be indicated by ASHRAE Standards (if applicable) or may otherwise apply.”
(i) Subsection 7.d. of the Lease is amended by (1) deleting the phrase “Subject to the provisions of this Lease regarding Hard Construction which is the subject of Reimbursable Tenant Expenditures, all” and replacing it with “All” in the first sentence thereof, (2) to add the phrase “using good quality materials consistent with the Zale Headquarters Standard” after the phrase “good and workmanlike manner” appearing in the fourth (4th) sentence thereof and (3) to delete the last sentence thereof.
(j) A new Subsection 7.f. is added to the Lease as follows:
“f. Annual Budget. No later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of Tenant’s fiscal year (which currently runs August 1 through July 31), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, for its approval, but only as contemplated below, a budget setting forth the repair, maintenance and capital expenditures expected to be incurred by Tenant in connection with the maintenance and operation of the Premises in accordance with the Zale Headquarters Standard during the following fiscal year (including without limitation proposed expenditures for repairs to Landlord Capital Items and Tenant Capital Items and replacements to Tenant Capital Items). Each such budget shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G. In the event that the amount budgeted for repairs and maintenance required by Tenant under this Lease with respect to a specific line item shows a decrease of more than ten percent (10%) for the same line item from the preceding fiscal year, or if the aggregate budget amount for such fiscal year decreases by more than three percent (3%) from the aggregate budget amount from the preceding fiscal year (in either case, “Material Reduction”), Tenant shall include a written justification of such reduced amount. If Landlord, acting reasonably and in good faith, rejects Tenant’s justification of the Material Reduction as being non-compliant with the Zale Headquarters Standard, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s justification that Landlord reasonably disputes same. Thereafter, the parties shall promptly proceed in good faith until an approved budget is achieved. In the event of a budget dispute, the preceding fiscal year’s approved budget shall apply to the fiscal year in dispute until an approved budget is achieved for the fiscal year in dispute. If the approved budget for the fiscal year in dispute is not achieved after good faith efforts by both parties on or prior to the expiration of the third (3rd) month of the applicable fiscal year, then the preceding fiscal year’s approved budget escalated to reflect any net increase in the Consumer Price Index during such fiscal year shall be the revised budget applicable to the fiscal year in dispute. As used herein, “Consumer Price
-7-
Index” or “CPI” shall mean the Consumer Price Index, Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, All Urban Consumers (base index year 1982-84=100), as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics or, if that index is revised or no longer published, such alternative index as Landlord reasonably shall select in good faith to produce results equivalent, as nearly as possible, to those that would have been obtained if the Consumer Price Index had not been so revised or discontinued. The CPI escalation factor shall be the quotient resulting from dividing the CPI number for the first month of the fiscal year in dispute (or latest published CPI number that is available) by the CPI number for the first month of the previous fiscal year. Within sixty (60) days after the expiration of each fiscal year, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a detailed statement (i) setting forth the actual expenses incurred by Tenant in maintaining the Premises during such fiscal year and (ii) stating in comparative form the expenses actually incurred by Tenant in maintaining the Premises during the fiscal year in question and the amounts set forth in such fiscal year’s approved budget. Each such statement shall be certified by the either chief financial officer of Tenant or Tenant’s manager or director over facilities as being true and correct in all material respects. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION 7F, IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT NO APPROVAL BY LANDLORD OF ANY BUDGET OR ANY ITEM THEREIN, NOR ANY FAILURE OF LANDLORD TO OBJECT TO ANY BUDGET OR ANY ITEM THEREIN, NOR ANY REASONS EXPRESSED FOR ANY OBJECTION BY LANDLORD, NOR THE AMOUNT OF ANY BUDGET ITEM, WHETHER LESS THAN OR MORE THAN PRIOR FISCAL YEARS, SHALL IN ANY WAY INDICATE ANY CONSENT OF OR WAIVER BY LANDLORD, OR IN ANY WAY PERTAIN TO OR AFFECT, (1) ANY OF TENANT’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS LEASE WITH RESPECT TO MAINTAINING THE PREMISES AT THE ZALE HEADQUARTERS STANDARD, OR (2) ANY OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS LEASE PERTAINING TO TENANT’S MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OBLIGATIONS.”

-8-
(l) Subsection 10.a. of the Lease is amended by deleting the first sentence thereof and replacing it with the following:
