held and delivered by Title Company as provided below.
3. TITLE EXCEPTIONS.
(a) Attached as EXHIBIT I is a Commitment for Title Insurance (the "TITLE
COMMITMENT") issued by Republic Title of Texas, Inc., as agent for First
American Title Insurance Company ("TITLE COMPANY"), which was delivered to Buyer
pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 5(a)(xiv)
below). At Buyer's request and to the extent available, a supplemental title
commitment shall be issued from the Title Company with the following
endorsements: comprehensive, survey amendment, access and such other
endorsements as may be available in Texas. In addition, Seller has delivered to
Buyer pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement that certain Survey of the
Property (the "SURVEY") prepared by Carter & Burgess, Inc.
(b) At Closing, provided that neither Buyer nor Seller has terminated this
Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof, Seller shall transfer title to the
Property to Buyer pursuant to the Deed, subject only to (i) the Existing Leases
(as defined in Section 5(a)(iii) below) as such are converted to subleases under
the Lease or otherwise subordinated to the Lease as provided in Section
5(a)(iii) hereof, (ii) any matter shown on the Title Commitment to which Buyer
does not object pursuant to Section 3(c) below, (iii) any matter shown on the
Survey to which Buyer does not object pursuant to Section 3(c) below, and (iv)
any other matter which appears on any supplemental title commitment issued by
Title Company or any new or revised Survey (a "TITLE UPDATE") subsequent to the
date hereof to which Buyer does not object pursuant to Section 3(c) below or to
which Buyer initially objects but such objection is thereafter waived by Buyer
pursuant to Section 3(d) below ("PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES").
(c) Title Company will deliver all Title Updates and all other related
documents (including copies of all title exception documents) simultaneously to
Seller and Buyer. Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Buyer
shall forward to Seller a written statement ("TITLE DEFECT NOTICE") specifying
all exceptions to title identified in the Title Commitment, the Survey or the
Title Update (as applicable) which are objectionable to Buyer in Buyer's sole
and absolute discretion ("TITLE DEFECTS"), it being acknowledged and agreed that
Buyer may notify
-3-
Seller of any Title Defects determined by Buyer in its sole and absolute
discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall be
obligated to cure the following title exceptions or defects affecting the
Property that exist of record prior to Closing: (i) liens and security interests
securing any loan to Seller, and any other liens or security interests created
by documents executed by Seller to secure monetary obligations, other than liens
for ad valorem taxes and assessments for the current calendar year and (ii) any
liens or encumbrances resulting from Seller's intentional breach of its covenant
not to encumber the Property pursuant to Section 13 hereof.
(d) If Buyer timely gives a Title Defects Notice to Seller, Seller shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Title Defects, and Seller
agrees to notify Buyer in writing no later than three (3) business days after
its receipt of the Title Defect Notice whether or not it intends to cure same.
If Seller notifies Buyer within such three (3) business day period of its intent
to cure any such Title Defects on or before Closing, then Seller shall on or
before Closing cure the same so that the Title Company will omit the same from
the Owner Policy (as defined in Section 8(b)(3) below) or endorse over or
affirmatively insure the same for the benefit of Buyer in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to Buyer. If Seller fails to so notify Buyer of Seller's intent to
cure any such Title Defects within such three (3) business day period, Seller
shall be deemed to have elected not to cure such Title Defects and Buyer, as
Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, shall have the right to either (i)
terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller and Title
Company at any time within three (3) business days after the expiration of such
three (3) business day period, in which case Buyer shall be entitled to a full
refund of the Earnest Money and neither party will have any further obligations
one to the other except as set forth in Sections 4(c)(1), 4(c)(3), 12 and 15, or
(ii) waive such Title Defects and consummate the purchase of the Property
subject to such Title Defects which shall be deemed to be Permitted
Encumbrances, but with no change in any of Buyer's obligations hereunder and
with no reduction in the Purchase Price attributable to the Title Defects. A
failure to terminate within such three (3) business day period shall be deemed
an election by Buyer to waive such Title Defects.
(e) The failure of Buyer to timely give a Title Defect Notice on or before
the applicable deadline specified in Section 3(c) above shall be deemed an
irrevocable waiver of Buyer's right to object to any Title Defects set forth in
such Title Update or any new or revised Survey (as applicable) issued prior to
such deadline. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
Seller agrees that at or prior to the Closing, Seller shall take such action as
is necessary to cause the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in items 1,
2, 4, 5, 7 and 8 of Schedule C of the Title Commitment so that the Owner Policy
(as defined in Section 8(b)(3) below) delivered to Buyer at the Closing contains
no exception to coverage for any such items.
4. FEASIBILITY PERIOD.
(a) As used in this Agreement, "FEASIBILITY PERIOD" means the period
beginning on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m., Fort Worth, Texas time,
on the third (3rd) business day after the Effective Date.
-4-
(b) Buyer may terminate its obligation to purchase the Property at any
time during the Feasibility Period if Buyer, in its sole discretion, concludes
that the Property is not suitable for any reason. Buyer must exercise its
termination rights under this Section 4(b) by delivering written notice to
Seller and the Title Company at any time prior to the expiration of the
Feasibility Period. Upon Title Company's receipt of such a notice during the
Feasibility Period, Title Company shall deliver the Earnest Money to Buyer, and
neither party will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement,
except as set forth in Sections 4(c)(1), 4(c)(3), 12 and 15. If Buyer does not
send such a notice prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, it will be
deemed to have elected to proceed with purchasing the Property, and Buyer and
Seller shall continue to comply with all applicable provisions of this Agreement
including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the Closing in
Sections 7 and 8.
(c) (1) Seller will permit Buyer and its contractors and agents to enter
upon the Property to inspect and test the Property (including soil borings
and environmental tests) as Buyer deems necessary or desirable, and all at
Buyer 's sole cost and expense. Buyer must repair any damages to the
Property resulting from any inspection or testing conducted by it or at
its direction. Buyer shall provide reasonable advance notice (no less than
24 hours) to Seller, and the parties shall cooperate in the scheduling of
any such inspections and tests. BUYER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND DEFEND
SELLER, AND HOLD SELLER HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST, ALL LIENS, CLAIMS, AND
LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BUYER'S OR ITS CONTRACTORS' OR
AGENTS' INSPECTIONS AND TESTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 4(c),
INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURIES OR DEATH.
(2) Before Buyer or any of its contractors or agents may enter onto
the Property for its inspections or tests or otherwise, Buyer shall
provide Seller with certificates of insurance evidencing that each of
Buyer's contractors and/or agents who enter upon the Property carries
commercial general liability insurance (on an occurrence basis) with a
combined single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
per occurrence during the period that these parties are on the Property.
Each policy must be issued by an insurance company licensed to do business
in the State of Texas and reasonably acceptable to Seller and under a form
of policy reasonably satisfactory to Seller. Seller must be included as an
additional insured under all insurance policies. The insurance may not be
cancelled or amended except upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to
Seller.
(3) In connection with the Confidentiality Agreement and Buyer's
inspection of the Property pursuant to this Section 4, Seller has provided
or made available to Buyer true and complete copies of the documents,
materials, records, data, drawings, specifications, engineering and
environmental reports and other documents listed on SCHEDULE 4(c)(3)
(collectively "DOCUMENTS"), which shall be deemed to be "Confidential
Information" under the Confidentiality Agreement. Buyer will require its
contractors, agents, investors, and prospective lenders to keep
confidential all information set forth in the Documents as provided in the
Confidentiality Agreement.
(4) Buyer's obligations and indemnity under this Section 4(c)
survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement. Buyer shall
return to Seller its copies of
-5-
all Documents if Buyer terminates its obligation to purchase the Property
under Section 4(b) hereof.
(d) As consideration for holding the Property available for its purchase
during the Feasibility Period, Buyer has paid Seller $100.00 ("INDEPENDENT
CONTRACT CONSIDERATION"), which Seller may retain even if this Agreement is
terminated. The Independent Contract Consideration does not apply to the
Purchase Price.

10. DISCLAIMER.
(a) Subject to the representations and warranties of Seller contained in
Section 5 hereof, Buyer expressly acknowledges that the Property is being sold

UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL RIGHTS
BUYER MIGHT HAVE REGARDING ANY FORM OF WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR ARISING
BY OPERATION OF LAW, INCLUDING, BUT IN NO WAY LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF
CONDITION, HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
relating to the Property, its Improvements or the Property Conditions, such
waiver being absolute, complete, total and unlimited in any way.
-14-
(b) Subject to Seller's representations and warranties set forth in
Section 5 above, Buyer acknowledges that the Property may not be in compliance
with all regulations, rules, laws and ordinances that may apply to the Property
or any part thereof and the continued ownership, maintenance, management and
repair of the Property ("REQUIREMENTS"). Subject to Seller's obligations under
the Lease, Buyer shall be solely responsible for any and all Requirements,
Property Conditions, and all other aspects of the Property, whether the same
shall be existing as of the Closing Date or not. To the fullest extent permitted
by law, Buyer hereby waives any and all rights and benefits which it now has, or
in the future may have, conferred upon it by virtue of any applicable state,
federal, or local law, rule, or regulation as a result of any alleged inaccuracy
or incompleteness of the Confidential Information (as defined in the
Confidentiality Agreement) or the purchase of the Property, including, without
limitation, (i) the provisions of the Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer
Protection Act of the State of Texas, (ii) any other comparable statute of the
State of Texas, and (iii) any environmental law, rule, or regulation whether
federal, state or local, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601 et
seq.) as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986,
and any analogous federal or state laws, including without limitation, the Texas
Solid Waste Disposal Act. With respect to Buyer's waiver of the above, Buyer
represents and warrants to Seller that: (a) Buyer is not in a significantly
disparate bargaining position; (b) Buyer is represented by legal counsel in
connection with the sale contemplated by this Agreement; and (c) Buyer is
knowledgeable and experienced in the purchase, operation, ownership,
refurbishing and sale of commercial real estate, and is fully able to evaluate
the merits and risks of this transaction. As part of the provisions of this
Section 10(b), but not as a limitation thereon, Buyer hereby agrees, represents
and warrants that the matters released herein are not limited to matters which
are known or disclosed. In this connection, to the extent permitted by law,
Buyer hereby agrees, represents, and warrants that it realizes and acknowledges
that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise
to causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs,
losses and expenses which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected,
and Buyer further agrees, represents and warrants that the waivers and releases
herein have been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that realization and
that Buyer nevertheless hereby intends to release, discharge and acquit Seller
from any such unknown causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies,
damages, costs, losses and expenses which might in any way be included in the
waivers and matters released as set forth in this Section 10(b) above, subject
to the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 5 hereof.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges
that except with respect to any Seller's representations and warranties set
forth in Section 5 above, Seller does not make any representations whatsoever as
to the presence or absence of hazardous substances or toxic wastes on the
Property, nor as to any disposal or release thereof on the Property at any time.
Other than as may arise in connection with a breach of a representation or
warranty of Section 5 hereof, BUYER HEREBY KNOWINGLY WAIVES AND RELEASES SELLER
FROM ALL CLAIMS THAT BUYER MAY NOW HAVE OR MAY BE ABLE TO ASSERT IN THE FUTURE
(INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY ACTIONS BASED ON FEDERAL, STATE OR COMMON
LAW AND ANY COST-RECOVERY OR CONTRIBUTION CLAIM OR OTHER PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION
UNDER
-15-
THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION, AND LIABILITY ACT OF
1980, AS AMENDED ("CERCLA"), THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT OF 1976,
AS AMENDED, THE TEXAS SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL ACT, AS AMENDED, OR ANY OTHER STATE
OR FEDERAL LAW TO WHICH THE PROPERTY IS OR MAY BE SUBJECT, INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS
BASED ON THE STRICT LIABILITY OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF SELLER) REGARDING THE
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OR CONDITION (INCLUDING THE PRESENCE OR RELEASE IN THE
SOIL, AIR, STRUCTURES, SURFACE OR SUBSURFACE WATERS, OR ELSEWHERE ON THE
PROPERTY, OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES (AS DEFINED BY CERCLA) OR SUBSTANCES THAT HAVE
BEEN OR MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DETERMINED TO BE TOXIC, HAZARDOUS, UNDESIRABLE OR
SUBJECT TO REGULATION, TREATMENT OR REMOVAL), VALUATION, SALABILITY OR UTILITY
OF THE PROPERTY, OR ITS SUITABILITY FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER. Buyer further
hereby assumes the risk of changes in applicable laws and regulations relating
to past, present and future environmental conditions on the Property.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all of the terms and provisions
of this Section 10 shall survive the Closing.
11. DEFAULT; REMEDIES.
(a) In the event Buyer fails to close this transaction by the Closing
Date, other than due to Seller's default or termination hereof by Buyer pursuant
to the applicable provisions hereof, Seller shall be entitled to receive the
Earnest Money as liquidated damages as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy,
Seller and Buyer agreeing that actual damages due to Buyer's default hereunder
would be difficult and inconvenient to ascertain and that such amount is not a
penalty and is fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances. This
Section 11(a) shall in no way limit Seller's remedies relating to any claim by
Seller arising under Sections 4(c)(1), 4(c)(3), 12 or 15 hereof.
(b) In the event that the closing of this transaction does not occur by
reason of Seller's default hereunder, Buyer may, at its option and as its sole
and exclusive remedy, either terminate this Agreement and receive a full and
immediate refund of the Earnest Money previously deposited, together with its
documented direct costs and expenses incurred in connection with its inspection
of the Property and negotiations of the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement, not to exceed $100,000.00, or seek to enforce specific performance of
this Agreement. In no event shall any consequential damages be recovered by
Buyer against Seller arising out of any alleged default under this Agreement.
12. CONFIDENTIALITY. Buyer agrees that the terms and provisions set forth in
this Agreement and in any exhibits or schedules attached hereto, including but
not limited to, the Lease, shall be deemed Confidential Information under the
Confidentiality Agreement. Buyer may disclose any Confidential Information
contained herein to Buyer's lender and to the employees, consultants,
accountants, investors, partners, and attorneys of Buyer or as required by
applicable law in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. Buyer agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless
-16-
Seller from and against any and all losses, damages, claims and liabilities of
any kind (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out
of Buyer's breach of this Section 12.
13. PROPERTY MAINTENANCE. Seller shall maintain the Property from the date of
the full execution and delivery of this Agreement until the Closing in
substantially the same manner and condition (reasonable wear and tear, casualty,
depreciation and obsolescence excepted) as immediately before the full execution
and delivery of this Agreement. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided
herein, Seller shall not intentionally execute and record any documents in the
real property records which result in any liens or other encumbrances on the
Property which are not released on or prior to Closing; provided, however,
Seller may record that certain Easement for Public Access attached hereto as
EXHIBIT J on or prior to the Closing.

15. BROKERS. Seller and Buyer represent and warrant to each other that neither
party has engaged any agent, broker, or other similar party in connection with
this transaction except Eastdil Realty Company, L.L.C. ("BROKER"), which
represents Seller. Seller shall pay to Broker a commission pursuant to separate
agreement. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from the
claims of any other agent, broker, or other similar party claiming by, through,
or under the indemnifying party. Buyer has been and is advised that it should
have the abstract
-18-
covering the Property examined by an attorney of its selection or that it should
be furnished with a policy of title insurance. By signing this Agreement, Buyer
acknowledges that it has been so advised in compliance with The Texas Real
Estate License Act. The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive the Closing
or any termination of this Agreement.
16. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER. Buyer represents and warrants that:
(a) Buyer is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, and has
or will have by Closing, all requisite power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery
of this Agreement by Buyer has been duly authorized. This Agreement, and all
other agreements executed in connection herewith, have been duly executed and
delivered by Buyer, and are legally valid obligations of Buyer, enforceable in
accordance with their terms.
(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and all related
agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder on
the part of Buyer does not and will not violate any applicable law, ordinance,
statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or judgment, conflict with or, as of
the Closing, result in the breach of any material terms or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, or, as of the Closing, result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any of the property or
assets of the Buyer by reason of the terms of any contract, mortgage, lien,
lease, agreement, indenture, instrument or judgment to which Buyer is a party or
which is or purports to be binding upon Buyer or which otherwise affects Buyer,
which will not be discharged, assumed or released at Closing. Except as follows
in this Section 16(b), no action by any federal, state or municipal or other
governmental department, commission, board, bureau or instrumentality is
necessary to make this Agreement a valid instrument binding upon Buyer in
accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or after the
Effective Date, Buyer shall request the approval of the transactions described
herein from (a) the Supervisory Board of the Fund and (b) M.M. Warburg & Co
KGaA, acting as the Depositary Bank of the Fund under the German law known as
the Investmentgesetz. If, prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period,
Buyer notifies Seller in writing that the transactions described herein have
been disapproved by the persons or entities referred to in the preceding
sentence, then the Earnest Money will be refunded in full to Buyer and thereupon
this Agreement will be null and void and of no further force and effect
whatsoever, except as set forth in Sections 4(c)(1), 4(c)(3), 12 and 15.
(c) Buyer hereby acknowledges that, as of the Effective Date, Buyer has
been advised in writing that Buyer should have an abstract covering the Land
examined by an attorney of Buyer's own selection or that Buyer should be
furnished with or obtain a policy of title insurance.
(d) Buyer is not: (i) a plan which is subject to Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), as defined in
Section 3(3) of ERISA, nor a plan as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (each of the foregoing hereinafter
referred to collectively as a "PLAN"); (ii) a "governmental plan" as defined in
Section 3(32) of ERISA; or (iii) a "party in interest," as defined in Section
3(14) of ERISA, to a Plan, except with respect to plans, if any, maintained by
Buyer, nor do the assets of
-19-
Buyer constitute "plan assets" of one or more of such Plans within the meaning
of Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101. Buyer is acting on its
own behalf and not on account of or for the benefit of any Plan. Buyer has no
present intent to transfer the Property to any entity, person or Plan which will
cause a violation of ERISA. Buyer shall not assign its interest under this
Agreement to any entity, person or Plan which will cause a violation of ERISA.
17. ASSIGNMENT. Buyer may not assign or transfer all or any portion of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other individual, entity or
other person without the consent thereto by Seller; provided, however, Buyer may
assign or transfer such rights and obligations to (x) any entity in which Buyer
holds a majority of equity interests, directly or indirectly (any such entity, a
"BUYER AFFILIATE"), without the consent of Seller, or (y) any entity approved by
Seller. No assignment or transfer by Buyer will be permitted if such assignment
or transfer would, in Seller's opinion, cause this transaction to violate any
provision of applicable law, including, without limitation, ERISA. Buyer
contemplates assigning this Agreement on or before the Closing to a special
purpose Delaware limited partnership to be formed by Buyer as a Buyer Affiliate,
and such Delaware limited partnership will acquire the Property pursuant to this
Agreement and enter into the Lease at the Closing. Seller shall not assign or
transfer all or any portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement.
18. RISK OF LOSS.
(a) In the event of loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof
which is not "major" (as hereinafter defined), this Agreement will remain in
full force and effect provided Seller performs any necessary repairs or, at
Seller's option, assigns to Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest to
any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance
policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. Seller
agrees to maintain the insurance currently in place with respect to the Property
during the term of this Agreement. In the event that Seller elects to perform
repairs upon the Property, Seller will use reasonable efforts to complete such
repairs promptly and the date of Closing will be extended a reasonable time (but
not more than thirty (30) days) in order to allow for the completion of such
repairs. If Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Buyer, the Purchase
Price will be reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller's
insurance policy. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property
will pass to Buyer.
(b) In the event of a "major" loss or damage, either Seller or Buyer may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, in which event
the Earnest Money will be returned to Buyer. If neither Seller nor Buyer elects
to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days after Seller sends Buyer
written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Seller and Buyer
will be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Seller
will, at Seller's option, either (a) perform any necessary repairs, or (b)
assign to Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest to any claims and
proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or
condemnation awards relating to the portion of the Property in question. In the
event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller will use
reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing
will be extended for a reasonable period of time not to exceed one hundred
twenty (120) days in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If
Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Buyer, the Purchase
-20-
Price will be reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller's
insurance policy.
(c) For purposes of Sections 18(a) and (b), "major" loss or damage refers
to the following: (i) loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof such
that the cost of repairing or restoring the portion of the Property in question
to a condition substantially identical to that of the premises prior to the
event of damage would be, in the opinion of an architect selected by Seller and
reasonably approved by Buyer, equal to or greater than $3,000,000.00, (ii) loss
or damage constituting a basis for Seller, in its capacity as tenant under the
Lease, to terminate the Lease (unless such right to terminate is waived or not
timely exercised) or to be entitled to an abatement of rent under the Lease or
(iii) any loss due to a condemnation which permanently and materially impairs
the current use of the Property.
19. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas and
shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns and personal
representatives.
(b) This Agreement or any notice or memorandum hereof shall not be
recorded in any public record. A violation of this prohibition by Buyer shall
constitute a material breach of Buyer, entitling Seller to terminate this
Agreement.
(c) Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Whenever a date specified in
this Agreement falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday, the date will be
extended to the next business day.
(d) The headings preceding the text of the sections hereof are inserted
solely for convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of this
Agreement, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction or effect.
(e) This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument. To expedite the transaction contemplated herein,
telecopied signatures may be used in place of original signatures on this
Agreement and on any written notice delivered pursuant hereto. Seller and Buyer
intend to be bound by the signatures on the telecopied document, are aware that
the other party will rely on the telecopied signatures, and hereby waive any
defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement based on the form of
signature.
(f) All Exhibits which are referred to herein and which are attached
hereto or bound separately and initialed by the parties are expressly made and
constitute a part of this Agreement.
(g) Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, each of the
warranties and representations of Seller and of Buyer made hereunder shall
survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed and other closing documents by
Seller to Buyer, and shall not be deemed to have merged therewith; provided,
however, that any suit or action for breach of any of the
-21-
representations or warranties set forth herein must be commenced within one (1)
year after the Closing or any claim based thereon shall be deemed irrevocably
waived provided that this Section 18(g) shall not be deemed to modify or affect
or limit the survival of any separate representations in the Lease. Unless
expressly made to survive, all obligations and covenants of Seller contained
herein shall be deemed to have been merged into the Deed and shall not survive
the Closing.
(h) To enable Seller to make the conveyance as herein provided, Seller
may, at the time of Closing, use the Purchase Price or any portion thereof to
clear the title of any or all encumbrances or interests affecting the issuance
of the Owner Policy and/or Buyer's lender's title policy, provided that
provision reasonably satisfactory to the Title Company is made for prompt
recording of all instruments required in accordance with conveyancing practice
in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located.
(i) Any provision of this Agreement that shall be prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction, and each party hereto shall remain liable to perform its
obligations hereunder except to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereby
waives any provision of law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or
unenforceable in any respect.
(j) The submission of this Agreement or a summary of some or all of its
provisions for examination or negotiation by Buyer or Seller does not constitute
an offer by Seller or Buyer to enter into an agreement to sell or purchase the
Property, and neither party shall be bound to the other with respect to any such
purchase and sale until a definitive agreement satisfactory to the Buyer and
Seller in their sole discretion is executed and delivered by both Seller and
Buyer.
(k) Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, this Agreement and the
Exhibits hereto set forth all of the promises, covenants, agreements, conditions
and undertakings between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and
understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written,
except as contained herein. This Agreement may not be changed orally but only by
an agreement in writing, duly executed by or on behalf of the party or parties
against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, consent or
discharge is sought.
(l) Seller and Buyer, at the cost and expense of the requesting party
(except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement to the contrary), will cause to
be promptly and duly taken, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such
further acts, documents and assurances as the other reasonably may request from
time to time to carry out more effectively the intent and purposes of this
Agreement.
(m) In the event that litigation is instituted by one party against the
other in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled
to reimbursement from the other party for all of its reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses.
-22-
20. REA. Seller and Buyer agree to execute, deliver and record at Closing the
Reciprocal Easement Agreement with Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions in the
form attached hereto as EXHIBIT H (the "REA"), with such immaterial corrections
and conforming changes as may be reasonably required by Seller or Buyer and
reasonably acceptable to the other party.
21. PLATTING. Buyer acknowledges that Seller is in the process of replatting the
Property and Seller's Adjacent Property. A preliminary plat of the Property and
the two adjacent parcels to be retained by Seller ("SELLER'S ADJACENT PROPERTY")
has been or will be submitted to the City of Fort Worth, Texas, copies of which
were delivered to Buyer pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement and are
attached hereto as EXHIBIT L (the plat of the Property may be referred to herein
as the "PLAT"). Buyer acknowledges that it has reviewed and approved such
preliminary plat of the Property and Seller's Adjacent Property. Buyer agrees to
reasonably cooperate with Seller (including the execution of any necessary
documents) to cause the Property to be fully and finally platted in accordance
with the terms of this Section 21 and the applicable ordinances, rules,
regulations, requirements and procedures of the City of Fort Worth and/or other
Governmental Authorities ("CITY AUTHORITIES"), in the form approved by Seller
and Buyer, in as expeditious a manner as is reasonably practicable, but at no
cost to Buyer. Seller shall pay all application fees and other charges payable
in order to initiate and complete the platting process required by City
Authorities to be paid in connection therewith. If amendments to the Plat are
required by City Authorities, Seller will submit such changes to Buyer for
Buyer's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed; provided, however, in no event shall the single lot that includes
the Land and all Improvements be further subdivided without the prior approval
of Buyer, which approval may be granted or withheld in Buyer's sole discretion.
Seller agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain final approval of the
Plat by the City Authorities and record that Plat as soon as possible after the
Effective Date and prior to December 21, 2005. Promptly after final approval of
the Plat by the City Authorities, Seller shall cause the Plat to be recorded in
the Plat Records of Tarrant County, Texas. Seller will keep Buyer fully informed
of the status of such final approval and recording of the Plat and will notify
Buyer promptly upon receipt of such final approval and recording of the Plat. If
the Plat has not been finally approved by the City Authorities and recorded at
least three (3) business days prior to the scheduled Closing Date of December
21, 2005, then the Closing and the Closing Date shall be extended automatically
until the third (3rd) business day after such final approval and recording of
the Plat; provided, however, if such final approval and recording of the Plat
has not occurred by July 1, 2006, then this Agreement shall automatically
terminate as of July 1, 2006, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in their
sole discretion, and the Earnest Money shall be returned in full to Buyer and
neither party will have any further obligations one to the other except as set
forth in Sections 4(c)(1), 4(c)(3), 12 and 15 and any remedies Buyer may have
under Section 11(b) hereof if Seller has defaulted under this Section 21.
Notwithstanding anything to the Contrary, if the Plat is not finally approved
and recorded on or before January 31, 2006, Buyer may terminate this Agreement
at its sole option by delivering written notice to Seller any time thereafter
and prior to such final approval and recording of the Plat, in which case Buyer
shall be entitled to a full refund of the Earnest Money and neither party will
have any further obligations one to the other except as set forth in Sections
4(c)(1), 4(c)(3), 12 and 15 and any remedies Buyer may have under Section 11(b)
hereof if Seller has defaulted under this Section 21.

22. ESCROW AGREEMENT.
(a) The Title Company has agreed to act as escrow agent for the
convenience of the parties without fee or other charges for such services as
escrow agent. The Title Company will not be liable: (i) to any of the parties
for any act or omission to act except for its own gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct; (ii) for any legal effect, insufficiency, or undesirability
of any instrument deposited with or delivered by the Title Company or exchanged
by the parties hereunder, whether or not the Title Company prepared such
instrument (except for the Commitment, the Owner Policy of any mortgage title
policy); (iii) for any loss or impairment of funds that have been deposited in
escrow while those funds are in the course of collection, or while those funds
are on deposit in a financial institution, if such loss or impairment results
from the failure, insolvency or suspension of a financial institution, unless
the Title Company fails to move such funds to another financial institution in
accordance with joint written instructions from Seller and Buyer to the Title
Company, (iv) for the expiration of any time limit or other consequence of
delay, unless a properly executed written instruction, accepted by the Title
Company, has instructed the Title Company to comply with such time limit; or (v)
for the default, error, action or omission of either Seller or Buyer to the
escrow. The Title Company will be entitled to rely, in good faith, on any
document or paper received by it, believed by the Title Company, in good faith,
to be bona fide and genuine.
(b) In the event of any dispute as to the disposition of the Earnest Money
or any other monies held in escrow, the Title Company will give written notice
to all parties advising same that, in the absence of written instructions signed
by both Purchaser and Seller received within the next ten (10) days, the Title
Company may interplead the Earnest Money by filing an interpleader action in the
Superior Court of Tarrant County, Texas (to the jurisdiction of which both
parties hereby consent) or may continue to hold the Earnest Money and take no
action until the Title Company receives such joint written instructions or an
order of a court as to the disposition of same. If the Title Company receives
the aforesaid written instructions, it will continue to hold the Earnest Money
pursuant to such written instructions. If the Title Company does not receive the
aforesaid written instructions, it may pay into the registry of the court the
Earnest Money and any other monies held in escrow or may continue to hold the
Earnest Money and take no action until the Title Company receives such joint
written instructions or an order of a court as to the disposition of same,
whereupon the Title Company will be relieved and released from any further
liability as escrow agent hereunder. The Title Company will not be liable for
the Title Company's compliance with any legal process, subpoena, writs, orders,
judgments and decree of any court, whether issued with or without jurisdiction,
and whether or not subsequently vacated, modified, set aside or reversed.

LEASE
This LEASE, dated as of _______________, 2005, between __________
___________, a(n) ____________________ (herein, as further defined in
Subparagraph 33(d), called "LANDLORD"), having an address at _____________, and
RADIOSHACK CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (herein called "TENANT"), having
an address at 300 RadioShack Circle, Fort Worth, Texas 76102-1964.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as
follows:
1. DEMISE OF PREMISES.
In consideration of the rents and covenants herein stipulated to be
paid and performed, Landlord hereby demises and lets to Tenant, and Tenant
hereby lets from Landlord, for the Term herein described, the premises (herein
called the "PREMISES") consisting of:
1.1 That parcel of land containing approximately 18.688 acres, with
the corresponding legal description and address listed on EXHIBIT 1.1 attached
hereto and made a part hereof, together with all of Landlord's right, title and
interest, if any, in and to all easements, rights of way, appurtenances, strips
and gores of land, water rights and other interests, rights and benefits
thereunto belonging, and to all public or private streets, roads, avenues,
alleys, or passageways, open or proposed, on or abutting the parcel of land, and
to any award made to or to be made in lieu thereof, and in and to any award for
damage to the parcel of land or any part thereof by reason of a change of grade
in any street, alley, road or avenue, as aforesaid (collectively, the "LAND").
For purposes of this Lease, the Land shall not include any mineral rights or
interest in, to or underlying the Land.
1.2 All buildings on and other improvements now or hereafter located
on, over or to the Land, including a five building office campus containing
approximately 875,694 square feet (the "BUILDINGS"); a 2,362 space structured
garage and all parking areas on the Land; all landscaped and hardscaped areas
and features; and Landlord's right, title and interest in all systems, building
fixtures, amenities, facilities, machinery and equipment used in the operation
of the facility and other improvements, conduits, ducts, hot water heaters, oil
burners, domestic water systems, and installations including those used to
provide fire protection, heat, exhaust, ventilation, air conditioning,
electrical power, security, light, plumbing, refrigeration, gas, sewer and water
thereto, all elevators, escalators, canopies, and the physical structure of all
signs (excluding any right to use any trade names, trademarks or service marks
of Tenant depicted on the signs), which are used for the operation of the
Buildings (collectively, the "IMPROVEMENTS"); but, excluding Tenant's trade
fixtures, office equipment (including audio/video meeting and conferencing
equipment), furniture, signs, decorations, furnishings, interior and exterior
artwork, except for items of personal property used in the operation of the
Improvements (all such personal property and trade fixtures, together with
Severable Additions (as defined in Subparagraph 11(d)), being referred to as
"EXCLUDED FIXTURES"), which are and shall remain the sole property of Tenant.
2. TITLE AND CONDITION.
(a) The Premises are demised and let subject to (i) the rights of
any parties in possession and the existing state of the title as of the
commencement of the Term of this Lease, including the Permitted Exceptions
(as defined in EXHIBIT 9), (ii) any state of facts which an accurate
survey or physical inspection thereof might show, (iii) all zoning
regulations, restrictions, rules and ordinances, building restrictions and
other laws and regulations now in effect or hereafter adopted by any
Governmental Authority (as defined in Subparagraph 33(b)) having
jurisdiction, and (iv) the condition of the Buildings, and other
Improvements located thereon, as of the commencement of the Term of this
Lease, without representation or warranty by Landlord. Tenant represents
that it is in possession of the Premises and is fully familiar with the
Premises in all respects, having owned the Premises immediately prior to
the commencement of the Term of this Lease and having caused the
construction of the Improvements thereon. Tenant further represents that
it has examined the title to, zoning of and other restrictions applicable
to, and the condition of, the Premises and has found the same to be
satisfactory to it. Tenant has unconditionally accepted the Premises in
all respects.
(b) During the Term, Tenant shall retain all economic development
incentives including, but not limited to, economic development grants and
property tax abatements and reimbursements previously or at any time
granted to Tenant by the City of Fort Worth, the Tax Increment
Reinvestment Zone Number Six, City of Fort Worth, Texas, or any other
Governmental Authority.
3. USE OF PREMISES.
Subject to applicable Legal Requirements (as defined in Subparagraph
33(f)) and Subparagraph 7(e)(iv), Tenant may use the Premises for general office
use, including executive, managerial, administrative and sales offices, media
and broadcast production, cafeteria, training and testing facilities, retail
sales activities, employee fitness center, employee related services, parking,
and uses ancillary thereto, and otherwise in conformity with this Lease, but for
no other purposes.
4. TERM.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Tenant shall have and
hold the Premises for an interim term (herein called the "INTERIM TERM")
commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the last day of the calendar
month in which the date hereof occurs (provided that if the Lease commences on
the first day of a calendar month there shall be no Interim Term) and a primary
term (herein called the "PRIMARY TERM") commencing on the first day of the first
calendar month following the date hereof (except if this Lease commences on the
first day of a calendar month, the Primary Term shall commence on said first
day), and continuing for twenty (20) years. Tenant shall have the option to
extend this Lease for four (4) consecutive terms of five (5) years each (herein
individually called an "EXTENDED TERM" and, together with the Interim Term, if
any, and the Primary Term, called the "TERM"), unless this Lease shall expire or
be sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. In the event Tenant elects to
extend the Term for an Extended Term, Tenant shall give a written notice to
Landlord (an "EXTENSION NOTICE") no
-2-
later than twelve (12) months prior to the then-scheduled expiration of the
Term. Upon the giving of an Extension Notice, the Term shall be automatically
extended for such Extended Term on the terms and conditions provided in this
Lease, except that Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term beyond
said four (4) additional periods of five (5) years each. Upon the request of
Landlord or Tenant, the parties hereto will execute and exchange an instrument
in recordable form setting forth any extension of the Term in accordance with
this Paragraph 4. If (i) an Event of Default shall exist as of the giving of the
Extension Notice, or (ii) Tenant does not timely give an Extension Notice in
accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 4, then, unless Landlord and
Tenant otherwise agree in writing, Tenant shall thereafter have no right to
extend the Term for the subject or any succeeding Extended Term.
5. RENT.
(a) Tenant covenants to pay to Landlord, as rent for the Premises
during the Interim Term, the Primary Term and each Extended Term of this
Lease (if Tenant extends the Term in accordance with Paragraph 4) the
amounts set forth on EXHIBIT 5 attached hereto (herein called the "Basic
Rent") in monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each
calendar month (herein called the "BASIC RENT PAYMENT DATES") by wire or
other electronic transfer of immediately available funds to the Landlord
at the address set forth above or to such other person or such other place
or account as Landlord from time to time may designate to Tenant in
writing; provided, Landlord may designate to Tenant in writing that all
but not less than all of the monthly Basic Rent be paid directly to a
Mortgagee (as defined in Subparagraph 23(a)) or an institutional payment
agent.
(b) Tenant covenants that all other amounts, liabilities and
obligations which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay or discharge pursuant to
this Lease together with every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may
be added for nonpayment or late payment thereof, shall constitute
additional rent hereunder (herein called "ADDITIONAL RENT"). In the event
of any failure by Tenant to pay or discharge any Additional Rent, Landlord
shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided herein or by law in
the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. Tenant further covenants to pay to
Landlord on demand interest on all Basic Rent and Additional Rent due to
Landlord from the date due until such amount is paid in full at the per
annum rate of interest (the "DEFAULT RATE") equal to the annual "prime
rate" identified in the "Money Rates" column in the Wall Street Journal
(the "PRIME RATE") plus four percent (4%), but in no event shall the
Default Rate exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. If the Wall Street
Journal is no longer published or the Wall Street Journal discontinues
publication of the "prime rate," then Landlord shall designate a
reasonably comparable source to identify the Prime Rate.
6. NET LEASE; NON-TERMINABILITY.
(a) This is an absolutely net lease to Landlord. It is the intent of
the parties hereto that the Basic Rent payable under this Lease shall be
an absolutely net return to Landlord and that Tenant shall pay all costs
and expenses relating to the Premises and the business carried on therein,
unless otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease. Any
amount or obligation relating to the Premises which is not expressly
declared to be that of Landlord shall be deemed to be an obligation of
Tenant to be performed by

Tenant at Tenant's expense. Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid
by Tenant without notice or demand (except as expressly provided herein),
setoff, counterclaim, abatement, suspension, deduction or defense;
provided, however, that overpayments of Basic Rent or Additional Rent, as
reasonably substantiated in writing by Tenant, shall be subject to a right
of offset against subsequent payments of Basic Rent or Additional Rent.
(b) This Lease shall not terminate, nor shall Tenant have any right
to terminate this Lease (except as otherwise expressly provided to the
contrary in Paragraph 15), nor shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement
of rent, nor shall the obligations of Tenant under this Lease be affected,
by reason of any of the following: (i) the condition of the Premises at
the commencement of the Term; (ii) any damage to or destruction of all or
any part of the Premises from whatever cause regardless of whether the
Improvements may be rebuilt following such damage or destruction to be the
same as they were before such event because of applicable Legal
Requirements or otherwise; (iii) the taking of the Premises or any portion
thereof by condemnation, eminent domain, requisition or otherwise; (iv)
the prohibition, limitation or restriction of Tenant's use or occupancy of
all or any part of the Premises, or any interference with such use or
occupancy; (v) any eviction by paramount title or otherwise; (vi) Tenant's
acquisition or ownership of all or any part of the Premises, except as
expressly provided herein; (vii) any default on the part of Landlord under
this Lease or under any other agreement to which Landlord and Tenant may
be parties; or (viii) any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to the
foregoing, any present or future law to the contrary notwithstanding. It
is the intention of the parties hereto that the obligations of Tenant
hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, that
the Basic Rent and the Additional Rent shall continue to be payable in all
events, and that the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall continue
unaffected in all events, unless the requirement to pay or perform the
same shall have been terminated pursuant to an express provision of this
Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this
Paragraph 6, Tenant retains a separate and independent right to sue
Landlord or seek equitable remedies against Landlord with respect to any
claim Tenant may have against Landlord in any way relating to this Lease
or the Premises; provided, however, any judgment, order or injunctive or
equitable relief granted in favor of Tenant shall not abate, be set off
against, reduce or otherwise affect Tenant's obligation to pay Basic Rent
or Additional Rent or terminate this Lease or reduce or otherwise affect
any of Tenant's obligations hereunder.
(c) Tenant agrees that it will remain obligated under this Lease in
accordance with its terms, and that it will not take any action to
terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding (i) the
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment,
liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up or other proceeding affecting
Landlord or its successors in interest, or (ii) any action with respect to
this Lease which may be taken by any trustee or receiver of Landlord or
its successors in interest or by any court in any such proceeding, so long
as Tenant is undisturbed in its right to occupy and use the Premises.
(d) Tenant waives, to the extent permitted by law, all rights which
may now or hereafter be conferred by law (i) to quit, terminate or
surrender this Lease or the Premises
-4-
or any part thereof, or (ii) to any abatement, suspension, deferment or
reduction of the Basic Rent or Additional Rent.
7. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS; COMPLIANCE WITH LAW; ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
(a) Subject to Paragraph 18 below, Tenant shall pay or discharge all
Impositions (as defined in Subparagraph 33(c)) when due. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provision of this Subparagraph 7(a), Tenant shall not be
required to pay any franchise, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession,
net income or excess profits taxes of Landlord hereunder (other than (i)
transfer and documentary taxes, if any, recording fees, or similar charges
payable in connection with a conveyance to Tenant pursuant to this Lease,
the execution of this Lease or the recording of any memorandum or notice
of this Lease, and (ii) any such tax, assessment, charge or levy imposed
or levied upon or assessed against Landlord in substitution for or in
place of an Imposition). Tenant agrees to furnish to Landlord, within
thirty (30) days after written request therefor, evidence of the payment
of all Impositions. Subject to Paragraph 18 below, Tenant shall pay all
Taxes (as defined in Subparagraph 33(c)) and charges for utilities
consumed on the Premises which become due during the Term (even if such
Taxes and charges accrued or pertain to a period prior to the commencement
of the Term) and also all Taxes which are allocable to the period prior to
the expiration of the Term and charges which relate to utilities consumed
during the Term even if payable after the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term. Taxes shall be prorated at the end of the Term,
and Tenant shall pay its estimated share of unpaid Taxes which will accrue
through the end of the Term with the last installment of Basic Rent due
hereunder (such share to be reprorated upon issuance of the actual bill
therefor and adjustment payments made by the parties as necessary to
adjust payments made pursuant to the reproration). In the event that any
special assessment levied or assessed against the Premises during the Term
hereof may be legally paid in installments, Tenant shall have the option
to pay such special assessment in installments. In such event, Tenant
shall be liable only for those installments of the special assessment, and
any accrued interest and penalties relating thereto, which become due and
payable prior to the expiration of the Term.
(b) Tenant shall pay all Taxes prior to the past due date thereof
and give evidence of payment of each such item to Landlord no later than
twenty (20) Business Days following the past due date thereof.
(c) Landlord agrees, to the extent reasonably necessary for Tenant
to continue to prosecute any tax abatement proceedings or to obtain any
economic development grants and/or tax incentives granted to Tenant by any
Governmental Authority, to reasonably cooperate with Tenant, at no cost to
Landlord, and also agrees to promptly endorse or pay over to Tenant any
such abatement amounts, grants and/or incentives for such years received
by Landlord.
(d) Tenant shall, at its expense, make all payments required under
and otherwise comply with, cause the Premises to comply with, and cause
the use of the Premises to comply with, all Legal Requirements, including
those which require the making of any structural, unforeseen or
extraordinary changes, whether or not any of the
-5-
same involve a change of policy on the part of the body enacting the same,
including but not limited to, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990
(42 U.S.C. Section 12101 et seq.). Tenant shall, at its expense, comply
with all changes required in order to obtain and maintain the Required
Insurance (as defined in Paragraph 12), and comply with the provisions of
all contracts, agreements, instruments and restrictions existing at the
commencement of this Lease and included in the Permitted Exceptions or
thereafter created pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease. Each
party shall provide the other party(ies) with notice as soon as reasonably
possible of any written complaints from any Governmental Authority
pertaining to any alleged violation of any Legal Requirements and/or the
commencement of any proceedings or investigation (of which the notifying
party has knowledge) under any Legal Requirements affecting or pertaining
to the Premises.
(e) Tenant shall:
(i) Not cause, suffer or permit any Hazardous Material (as
defined below) to exist on or be discharged from or be released at
the Premises in violation of Environmental Laws (as defined below)
(whether originating thereon or brought onto the Premises by third
parties), and shall promptly: (A) remove, remediate and dispose of
any such Hazardous Material in compliance with all Environmental
Laws, (B) pay any claim against Tenant, any Indemnified Party (as
defined below) or the Premises arising therefrom, (C) remove any
charge or lien upon any of the Premises relating thereto, (D) prior
to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, remove and
dispose of all Hazardous Material which then exists on the Premises,
in compliance with all Environmental Laws, and (E) without
limitation of the foregoing comply, at its sole cost and expense,
during the Term in all respects with all Environmental Laws
applicable to the Premises in regard to all Hazardous Materials.
(ii) Notify Landlord in writing of any Hazardous Material
(other than Hazardous Material stored or transported to or from the
Premises in the ordinary course of Tenant's or Tenant's sublessee's
business and in compliance with all Environmental Laws) that exists
on or is discharged from or onto or released at the Premises
(whether originating thereon, placed thereon by third parties or
migrating to the Premises from other property) within twenty (20)
days after Tenant first has actual knowledge of such existence or
discharge.
(iii) DEFEND (WITH COUNSEL SELECTED BY TENANT AND REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO LANDLORD), INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS LANDLORD, ANY
MORTGAGEE AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, TRUSTEES,
MEMBERS, PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, BENEFICIARIES, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS
(HEREIN COLLECTIVELY CALLED "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES" AND INDIVIDUALLY
AN "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS,
EXPENSES, LIABILITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE (INCLUDING ALL REASONABLE
ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES) RESULTING FROM THE FAILURE OF TENANT
OR THE PREMISES TO COMPLY DURING THE TERM WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.
TENANT SHALL GIVE LANDLORD NOTICE AS SOON AS REASONABLY POSSIBLE OF
(A) ANY PROCEEDING OR INQUIRY OF WHICH TENANT
-6-
BECOMES AWARE DURING THE TERM BY ANY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY WITH
RESPECT TO THE PRESENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIAL ON, UNDER, FROM OR
ABOUT THE PREMISES, (B) ALL CLAIMS MADE BY ANY THIRD PARTY AGAINST
TENANT OR THE PREMISES RELATING TO ANY LOSS OR INJURY RESULTING FROM
ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIAL OF WHICH TENANT BECOMES AWARE, AND (C)
TENANT'S DISCOVERY OF ANY OCCURRENCE OR CONDITION ON ANY REAL
PROPERTY ADJOINING OR IN THE VICINITY OF THE PREMISES THAT TENANT
REASONABLY DETERMINES IS LIKELY TO CAUSE THE PREMISES TO BE SUBJECT
TO ANY INVESTIGATION OR CLEANUP PURSUANT TO ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW.
TENANT SHALL PERMIT LANDLORD TO JOIN AND PARTICIPATE IN, AS A PARTY
IF IT SO ELECTS, ANY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR ACTION INITIATED WITH
RESPECT TO THE PREMISES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW OR
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL, AND TENANT SHALL PAY ALL REASONABLE ATTORNEYS'
FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS INCURRED BY LANDLORD IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
TO THE EXTENT SUCH PROCEEDINGS OR ACTION RELATES TO TENANT'S
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS LEASE.
(iv) Not change the use of the Premises or permit the use of
the Premises to be changed to any purpose other than the use on the
date hereof, or change the Tenant's business operations conducted at
the Premises from that conducted on the date hereof, if any such
change of use or operations would (A) increase the risk of any
Hazardous Material being released or discharged at or from the
Premises in violation of any Environmental Laws, (B) result in
Tenant or Landlord being obligated to perform any remediation of any
Hazardous Material, or (C) result in the rescinding or adverse
modification of any waiver or stand-still agreement as to
environmental compliance matters granted by any Governmental
Authority.
For purposes of this Lease, the following terms shall have the following
meanings: (1) "HAZARDOUS MATERIAL" means any hazardous or toxic material,
substance or waste which is defined by those or similar terms and is
regulated as such under any Environmental Laws, except for cleaning
solvents, paints, construction materials, fuel supplies, and similar
materials used in the ordinary course of business and in compliance with
all applicable laws (including Environmental Laws) with respect thereto;
and (2) "ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS" means any statute, law, ordinance, rule or
regulation of any local, county, state or federal authority having
jurisdiction over the Premises or any portion thereof or its use, which
pertains to environmental, health or safety matters and/or the regulation
of any Hazardous Materials, including but not limited to: (a) the Federal

(b) the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et
seq.) as amended; (c) the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq.) as
amended; (d) the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. Section 2601 et
seq.), as amended; and (e) the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. Section 7401 et
seq.), as amended. The Tenant's obligations and liabilities under this
Subparagraph 7(e) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease with respect to any obligation accruing prior to the end of the
Term (or if earlier, the date on which Landlord actually retakes
possession of the Premises under clause (ii) of Subparagraph 19(b)) and
any Hazardous Material which exists or is discharged from or onto or
released at the Premises prior to the end of the Term (or if earlier, the
date on which Landlord actually retakes possession of the Premises under
clause (ii) of Subparagraph 19(b)) in violation of any Environmental Law.
-7-
(f) Upon Landlord's request, at any time an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and at such other times as Landlord has
reasonable grounds to believe that (A) Hazardous Material has been
released, stored or disposed on or around the Premises (other than as
permitted under this Lease or by applicable Environmental Laws) or (B) the
Premises may be in violation of any Environmental Laws, Tenant shall, at
Tenant's sole cost, deliver to Landlord a current inspection or audit of
the Premises prepared by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or
other appropriate consultant reasonably approved by Landlord indicating
the presence or absence of Hazardous Material at the Premises, including
the presence or absence of toxic mold, friable asbestos or substances
containing asbestos at the Premises. If Tenant fails to provide any
required inspection or audit within sixty (60) days after any such
request, Landlord may order same, in which event (1) Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord upon demand for the cost thereof, and (2) Landlord, any
first Mortgagee and such hydrogeologists, engineers and/or consultants
shall have the right to come onto the Premises with reasonable prior
notice to Tenant to perform such inspection and/or audit in which case
Tenant shall be provided with a complete copy of all such inspections
and/or audits within five (5) Business Days of completion thereof. Tenant
shall promptly deliver to Landlord copies of all monitoring results and
environmental inspections and reports which Tenant performs or receives
with respect to Hazardous Material at the Premises. The obligations of
Tenant under this Subparagraph 7(f) shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
8. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) TENANT AGREES TO PAY, AND TO PROTECT, DEFEND (WITH COUNSEL
REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO LANDLORD), INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS LANDLORD
AND THE OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL
LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES, COSTS, EXPENSES (INCLUDING ALL REASONABLE
ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES), CAUSES OF ACTION, SUITS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS OR
JUDGMENTS OF ANY NATURE (HEREIN COLLECTIVELY CALLED "DAMAGES") WHATSOEVER
ARISING FROM (i) ANY USE, CONDITION OR EVENT OCCURRING ON THE PREMISES
PRIOR TO OR DURING THE TERM (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE
CONSTRUCTION OR EXISTENCE OF ANY ALTERATIONS), (II) ANY INJURY TO, OR THE
DEATH OF, ANY PERSON OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY ON THE PREMISES PRIOR TO OR
DURING THE TERM, (III) ANY VIOLATION BY TENANT OF ANY AGREEMENT OR
CONDITION OF THIS LEASE, OR ANY CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT TO WHICH TENANT IS A
PARTY OR WHICH PERTAINS TO THE PREMISES OR ANY PART THEREOF OR THE
OWNERSHIP, OCCUPANCY OR USE THEREOF, AND (IV) ANY VIOLATION BY TENANT OF
ANY LEGAL REQUIREMENT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL
NOT APPLY AS TO AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS ARISING FROM
THE NEGLIGENT ACTS OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY. IF AN
INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL BE MADE A PARTY TO ANY SUCH LITIGATION COMMENCED
AGAINST TENANT, TENANT SHALL, AT ITS OPTION, EITHER DEFEND, AT TENANT'S
SOLE COST AND EXPENSE, SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH COUNSEL SELECTED BY
TENANT REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY OR PAY ALL COSTS
AND REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES INCURRED OR PAID BY SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LITIGATION. IN THE EVENT TENANT
SHALL, PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH 8, DISCHARGE ANY CLAIM AGAINST AN
INDEMNIFIED PARTY, TENANT SHALL BE SUBROGATED TO THE RIGHTS OF THE
INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT THERETO, EXCEPT THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL
TENANT BE THEREBY SUBROGATED TO A CLAIM AGAINST ANOTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTY.
-8-
(b) TENANT SHALL INDEMNIFY EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO
ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY LANDLORD OR SUCH OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTY BY
REASON OF ANY MATERIAL INACCURACY OR MISSTATEMENT IN ANY REPRESENTATION OR
WARRANTY OF TENANT SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE OR IN ANY CERTIFICATE DELIVERED
TO ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS LEASE.
(c) TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH 8
SHALL SURVIVE EXPIRATION OR EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE.
(d) EACH PERSON OR ENTITY THAT IS AT ANY TIME AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY
SHALL REMAIN AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO THE PERIOD WHICH IT HELD
AN INTEREST IN THE PREMISES, THE MORTGAGE, LANDLORD OR MORTGAGEE,
NOTWITHSTANDING THE CONVEYANCE OR OTHER TRANSFER BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY
OF ITS INTEREST IN THE PREMISES, THE MORTGAGE, LANDLORD OR MORTGAGEE, OR
THE RELEASE OF ANY MORTGAGE.
9. LIENS.
Tenant will not, directly or indirectly, create or permit to be
created and to remain for more than thirty (30) days after the creation thereof,
and will, subject to Paragraph 18 below, promptly discharge, at Tenant's
expense, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof, any mortgage,
lien, encumbrance or charge on, pledge of, or conditional sale or other title
retention agreement with respect to, the Premises or any part thereof or
Tenant's interest therein or the Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other sums
payable by Tenant under this Lease, other than any Mortgage (as defined in
Subparagraph 23(a)) or other encumbrance created by Landlord or the Permitted
Exceptions set forth in EXHIBIT 9. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be
construed as constituting the consent or request, expressed or implied, by
Landlord to or for the performance of any labor or services or of the furnishing
of any materials for any construction, alteration, addition, repair or
demolition of or to the Premises or any part thereof by any contractor,
subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor. Notice is hereby given that
Landlord will not be liable for any labor, services or materials furnished or to
be furnished to Tenant, or to anyone holding the Premises or any part thereof,
and that no mechanic's, construction or other liens for any such labor, services
or materials shall attach to or affect the interest of Landlord in and to the
Premises.
10. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.
(a) Tenant acknowledges that, with full awareness of its obligations
under this Lease, Tenant has accepted the condition, state of repair and
appearance of the Premises.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 15, Tenant agrees
that, at its expense, it shall put, keep and maintain the Premises,
including any altered, rebuilt or additional buildings, structures and
other improvements thereto or thereon, in good and safe condition, repair
and appearance, reasonable wear and tear excluded, and in a manner at
least equal to the way in which the Premises (as of the commencement of
the Term) is currently maintained, and shall make all repairs and
replacements necessary therefor including (without limitation) any needed
capital repairs, replacements or improvements. Tenant will keep the
Premises orderly and free and clear of rubbish. Tenant covenants to
-9-
perform or observe all terms, covenants and conditions of any easement,
restriction, covenant, reciprocal easement agreement, declaration and
maintenance agreement (collectively, "EASEMENTS") to which it may at any
time be a party or to which the Premises are currently subject or become
subject pursuant to this Lease (including easements created pursuant to
the REA (as defined in Subparagraph 38(b)) whether or not such performance
is required of Landlord under such Easements, including without
limitation, payment of all amounts due from Landlord or Tenant (whether as
assessments, service fees or other charges) under such Easements. Tenant
shall, at its expense, use reasonable efforts to enforce compliance with
any Easements benefiting the Premises by any other person or entity or
property subject to such Easement. Landlord shall not be required to
maintain, repair or rebuild, or to make any alterations, replacements,
improvements or renewals of any nature to the Premises, or any part
thereof, whether ordinary or extraordinary, expense items or capital
items, structural or nonstructural, foreseen or not foreseen, or to
maintain the Premises or any part thereof in any way or to correct any
patent or latent defect therein. Tenant hereby expressly waives any right
to make repairs at the expense of Landlord which may be provided for in
any law in effect at the time of the commencement of the Term or which may
thereafter be enacted. If Tenant shall vacate or abandon the Premises, it
shall give Landlord notice thereof as soon as reasonably possible, but no
abandonment or vacating of all or any portion of the Premises shall
release or relieve Tenant from any obligations under this Lease, and
Tenant shall continue to fully and timely perform all obligations of
Tenant under this Lease.
(c) Subject to Paragraph 18 below, if any Improvements situated on
the Premises at any time during the Term shall encroach upon any property,
street or right of way adjoining or adjacent to the Premises, shall
violate any Legal Requirement or shall impair the rights of others under
or hinder or obstruct any Easement or right of way to which the Premises
is subject, then, promptly after the written request of any applicable
Governmental Authority, Landlord or any other person or entity affected by
any such encroachment, violation, impairment, hindrance or obstruction
(which other person or entity may be Landlord with respect to any such
encroachment, violation or impairment which first arises after the date of
this Lease), Tenant shall, at its expense, exercise commercially
reasonable efforts to either (i) obtain legally effective variances of
such legal requirements or waivers or settlements of all claims,
liabilities and damages resulting from each such encroachment, violation,
impairment, hindrance or obstruction whether the same shall affect
Landlord, Tenant or both, or (ii) make such changes in the Improvements on
the Premises and take such other action as shall be necessary to remove
such encroachments, hindrances or obstructions and to end such violations
or impairments, including, if necessary, the alteration or removal of any
Improvement on the Premises; provided, however, Tenant shall do so only
(1) in a manner that does not lessen the market value of the Premises and
(2) in conformity with the requirements of Paragraph 11 to the same extent
as if such alteration or removal were an alteration subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 11.
(d) Landlord, any Mortgagee and their respective agents and
designees may, in the company of a representative of Tenant if Tenant so
requires, enter upon and inspect the Premises at reasonable times and on
reasonable prior notice and show the Premises to prospective Mortgagees
and/or purchasers. Tenant may designate an employee to
-10-
accompany Landlord, any Mortgagee and their respective agents and
designees on such examinations. Tenant will provide, upon Landlord's
written request, records for the prior twelve (12) months with respect to
operating expenses (such as utility costs and maintenance expenses) of the
Premises and for the prior five (5) years, where applicable, with respect
to repair and replacement of structural elements, roof and mechanical
systems in the Premises, provided, except as may be explicitly required
elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant shall have no obligation to disclose
records relating solely to the operation of Tenant's business as opposed
to the operation, repair or replacement of the Premises. All such
information will be certified as true, complete and correct to the best of
Tenant's knowledge.
11. ALTERATIONS.
(a) Tenant may make or suffer to be made any non-structural
alterations, additions or improvements in, on or to the Premises or any
part thereof ("ALTERATIONS"), provided Tenant shall not make any
Alterations which would (i) reduce by more than $250,000 (as determined
with respect to each Alterations project) the fair market value of the
Premises (determined without regard to the existence of this Lease), (ii)
create a hazardous or illegal condition or violate any Legal Requirements,
(iii) change the intended use of the Premises from the use permitted under
Paragraph 3, (iv) increase the risk of a violation of any Environmental
Law or otherwise increase any environmental risk to the Premises, (v)
result in the rescinding or adverse modification of any waiver or
stand-still agreement as to environmental compliance matters, zoning or
any other Legal Requirements granted by any Governmental Authority,
without, in each such case, submitting a written request for and obtaining
the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in
Landlord's absolute discretion (Alterations described in any one or more
of the foregoing clauses (i) -- (v) being referred to as "RESTRICTED
ALTERATIONS"). Redecoration of the interior of the Premises, such as
painting, wallpapering, replacement of light fixtures or floor covering,
and installation or deinstallation of artworks shall not constitute
Alterations for purposes of this Lease. Moreover, Tenant shall not be
required to obtain the prior written consent of Landlord as to
non-structural alterations consisting solely of the reconfiguration of
offices, workstations, support spaces and common areas in the Premises
which are not Restricted Alterations ("PERMITTED OFFICE
RECONFIGURATIONS"). Without limitation of Landlord's right to withhold its
consent to Restricted Alterations, (A) Landlord may withhold its consent
if an Event of Default then exists and (B) any consent to the making of
Restricted Alterations may be conditioned on the requirement that Tenant
remove any such Restricted Alterations at the end of the Term (as it may
be extended) and put the Premises back into its former condition, and
repair any damage to the Premises caused thereby. In the event that the
projected cost of any proposed Alterations (exclusive of Permitted Office
Reconfigurations) exceeds $10,000,000, (i) Tenant shall not commence the
work until and unless Landlord shall have approved plans and
specifications for such Alterations, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) upon Landlord's written
request, Tenant shall submit the written opinion of an MAI appraiser
reasonably acceptable to Landlord (or other evidence reasonably acceptable
to Landlord) that the proposed Alterations shall not reduce the fair
market value of the Premises (determined without regard to the existence
of this Lease) by more than $250,000. In the
-11-
event Tenant makes any changes in or to any mechanical component of the
Premises (for example, a portion of the HVAC system), Tenant shall install
mechanical equipment of equal or greater quality, functionality and
utility. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, without
Landlord's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned), no Alterations shall be made to the
Premises that consist of (i) the construction of any new or additional
buildings or major structures or material additions to or expansions of
any existing Improvements, (ii) the demolition of any Improvements or any
material portions thereof, or (iii) the material modification of any
structural components of the Improvements.
(b) All Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike
manner in compliance with all Legal Requirements. Tenant shall satisfy the
following conditions in connection with all Alterations, including
Permitted Office Reconfigurations:
(1) Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid the entire cost of such
Alterations;
(2) Tenant shall take all necessary steps to prevent the imposition
of liens against the Premises as a result of such Alterations;
(3) Tenant shall obtain and pay for all building, occupancy and
other required permits and shall comply with all applicable Legal
Requirements and deliver copies of all such permits to Landlord as soon as
reasonably possible following issuance thereof;
(4) Tenant shall cause the construction of Alterations, once
commenced, to be diligently pursued to completion;
(5) If the Alterations include any changes or new matter which would
be shown on an updated ALTA/ACSM Class A Urban survey of the Premises
(including Table A and other items customarily required by institutional
lenders), then Tenant shall obtain and submit to Landlord, promptly
following substantial completion of the Alterations, a revised ALTA/ACSM
Class A Urban survey of the Premises certified, and in a form reasonably
satisfactory, to Landlord;
(6) Except for Permitted Office Reconfigurations, Tenant shall
provide Landlord with plans and any change orders for all Alterations as
soon as reasonably possible following substantial completion of the
Alterations; and
(7) If the Alterations, together with any other related Alterations
or series of related Alterations are reasonably expected to cost in excess
of $10,000,000 in the aggregate, Tenant shall provide to Landlord (i) a
construction budget showing all "hard" and "soft" costs to be incurred in
connection with all such Alterations, plus a reasonable contingency, and
(ii) a proposed schedule of construction for the Alterations.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this
Paragraph 11, in the event Tenant is required to make Alterations to the
Premises in order to comply with any Legal Requirements, Tenant shall (to
the maximum extent reasonably possible in compliance with all Legal
Requirements) satisfy the conditions specified in clauses (1) through (7)
of this Paragraph 11 with respect to such Alterations and make or cause to
-12-
make such Alterations in the manner which will have the least negative
impact on the market value of the Premises.
(d) Except as Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree in writing, all
Alterations other than Severable Additions shall at once become a part of
the realty and belong to Landlord. Severable Additions, movable furniture,
furnishings, decorations, art work, trade fixtures and other personal
property of Tenant and its sublessees may be removed from the Premises
upon or at any time prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, provided that Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises
resulting from such removal. For purposes of this Lease, the term
"SEVERABLE ADDITIONS" shall mean all additions to the Premises prior to or
during the Term which (1) are readily removable without causing more than
de minimus damage to the Premises, (2) will not reduce the value, useful
life or utility of the Premises if removed, (3) are not required for
lawful occupancy of the Premises, and (4) have been paid for by Tenant
after the date of this Lease. The obligations of Tenant under this
Paragraph 11 shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease.
12. INSURANCE.
(a) Tenant shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, at its sole
expense, the following insurance on the Premises (herein called the
"REQUIRED INSURANCE"):
(i) Property insurance insuring the Improvements for risks of
direct physical loss and for perils covered by the causes of
loss-special form (all risk, extended coverage) and, in addition,
change in ordinances or laws coverage and boiler and machinery
coverage (if applicable). Such insurance shall be written on a
replacement cost basis with an agreed value equal to the full
insurable replacement value of the Improvements. The policy shall
name Landlord and any first Mortgagee as "additional insureds and
loss payees" as to the Premises only and as their interests may
appear. The loss payable endorsement in favor of the first Mortgagee
shall be on form 438BFU or such other form as shall be specified by
the first Mortgagee and acceptable to the insurance carrier.
(ii) Commercial general liability insurance naming the
Landlord and any Mortgagee as additional insureds against any and
all claims as are customarily covered under a standard policy form
routinely accepted, for bodily injury, death and property damage
occurring in or about the Premises. Such insurance shall have a
combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence
with a minimum $10,000,000 aggregate limit and excess umbrella
liability insurance in the amount of at least $20,000,000. If Tenant
has other locations that it owns or leases, the liability insurance
provided by this clause (ii) policy may be a so-called blanket
policy. Tenant shall be required to increase its insurance limits
from time to time consistent with coverage on properties similarly
constructed, occupied and maintained. Such liability insurance shall
be primary and not contributing to any insurance available to
Landlord, and Landlord's insurance, if any, shall be in excess
thereto. In no event shall the limits of such insurance be
considered as limiting the liability of Tenant under this Lease.
-13-
(iii) During any period of construction on the Premises,
builder's risk insurance insuring perils covered by the loss-special
form (all risk, extended coverage) shall be purchased for the value
of the alteration and/or additions made to the Premises when the
work is not insured under the Tenant's property insurance policy.
Each builder's risk policy shall name Landlord and any first
Mortgagee as additional insureds and loss payees as their interests
may appear.
(iv) Flood insurance in a commercially reasonable amount if
the Premises are located in a special flood hazard zone.
(v) Rental value insurance in an amount equal to at least
twelve (12) months of Basic Rent and Additional Rent (as reasonably
estimated by Landlord) due and payable under this Lease.
(b) The policies required to be maintained by Tenant shall conform
to S&P and Moody's securitization guidelines and shall be with companies
having (i) an insurance company claims paying rating equal to or greater
than A- by Standard & Poor's Corporation or A2 by Moody's Investment
Service, or (ii) a general policy rating of A or better and a financial
class of X or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. Insurers shall be licensed
to do business in the State of Texas and domiciled in the USA. Except as
may be otherwise specified in Subparagraph 12(a), any deductible amounts
under any insurance policies required hereunder shall not exceed
$5,000,000. Certificates of insurance (as to property insurance, using
Accord Form No. 27 (or the equivalent thereof), and as to liability
insurance, using Accord Form 25-S (or the equivalent thereof)), together
with reasonable evidence of payment of the premiums therefor, shall be
delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement date of this Lease and
thereafter at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of each
required policy. Tenant shall have the right to provide insurance coverage
which it is obligated to carry pursuant to the terms hereof in a blanket
policy, provided such blanket policy expressly affords coverage to the
Premises and to Landlord and any Mortgagee as required by this Lease. Each
policy of insurance shall provide notification to Landlord and any first
Mortgagee at least thirty (30) days prior to any non-renewal, cancellation
or modification to reduce the insurance coverage.
(c) Insurance claims by reason of damage to or destruction of any
portion of the Premises shall be adjusted by Tenant if an Event of Default
does not then exist and the reasonable estimate by Tenant of the cost to
repair the damage does not exceed $10,000,000, or by Landlord and Tenant
jointly if an Event of Default does not then exist and the reasonable
estimate by Tenant of the cost to repair the damage exceeds $10,000,000,
or by Landlord alone if an Event of Default then exists. Tenant shall, as
soon as reasonably possible, advise Landlord of such damage or
destruction. Landlord shall not be required to prosecute any claim
against, or to contest any settlement proposed by, an insurer. Tenant may,
at its expense, prosecute any such claim or contest any such settlement in
the name of Landlord, Tenant or both, and Landlord will join therein at
Tenant's written request upon the receipt by Landlord of an indemnity from
Tenant against all costs, liabilities and expenses in connection
therewith. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 13, if an Event of
Default does not then exist and the cost of
-14-
repair and restoration (as reasonably determined by Tenant) is estimated
to be less than $10,000,000, proceeds from the property insurance policy,
net of Tenant's and Landlord's expenses incurred in adjusting and
collecting such proceeds (such net amount being the "NET INSURANCE
PROCEEDS"), shall be paid to Tenant to pay the cost of restoration at
Tenant's direction. Otherwise, the Net Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to
Landlord and Landlord shall make such proceeds available to Tenant to pay
the cost of such repair and restoration promptly upon submission to
Landlord of the following: (A) prior to commencement of work, plans and
specifications covering all repair and restoration work in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (B) prior to each
periodic disbursement: (1) certificates of Tenant delivered to Landlord
from time to time as such work or repair progresses, each such certificate
describing the work or repair for which Tenant is requesting payment and
the cost incurred by Tenant in connection therewith and stating that
Tenant has not previously received payment for such work, (2) owner's and
contractor's sworn statements in customary form and appropriate waivers of
mechanic's or construction liens, and (3) architect's certificates in
customary form covering the work for which payment is requested. Subject
to the provisions of Paragraph 13, any portion of the Net Insurance
Proceeds remaining after Tenant has repaired the Premises pursuant to
Paragraph 13 shall be delivered to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Subparagraph 12(c), (i) Net Insurance Proceeds shall
not include the proceeds of business interruption insurance maintained for
Tenant's benefit or property damage insurance with respect to Tenant's
Excluded Fixtures and (ii) insurance proceeds payable for or attributable
to the rental value insurance maintained pursuant to Subparagraph 12(a)(v)
shall be paid to Landlord if Tenant delivers a Termination Notice pursuant
to Subparagraph 15(a), but otherwise shall be paid to Tenant.
(d) In the event Tenant does not purchase the insurance required by
this Lease or keep the same in full force and effect, Landlord may, but
shall not be obligated to, purchase the necessary insurance and pay the
premium therefor. Tenant shall repay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the
amount so paid promptly upon demand together with interest at the Default
Rate on such payment from the date expended until the date reimbursed. In
addition, Landlord may recover from Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay, as
Additional Rent, any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) and damages which Landlord may sustain by reason of the failure of
Tenant to obtain and maintain such insurance.
(e) Landlord shall not be limited in the proof of any damages which
Landlord may claim against Tenant arising out of or by reason of Tenant's
failure to provide and keep in force any of the Required Insurance to the
amount of the insurance premium or premiums not paid or incurred by Tenant
and which would have been payable under such insurance; but Landlord shall
also be entitled to recover as damages for such breach, the uninsured
amount of any loss to the extent of any deficiency in the Required
Insurance, and damages, costs and expenses of suit suffered or incurred by
reason of or damage to, or destruction of the Premises, occurring during
any period when the Tenant may have failed or neglected to obtain the
Required Insurance. TENANT SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS LANDLORD AND
ANY MORTGAGEE FOR ANY LIABILITY INCURRED BY LANDLORD OR ANY MORTGAGEE
ARISING OUT OF ANY DEDUCTIBLES FOR REQUIRED INSURANCE.
-15-
(f) At Tenant's option, Tenant may elect to self-insure all or any
portion of the Required Insurance described in Subparagraph 12(a)(ii) if,
and only for so long as, no Event of Default exists and Tenant carries a
senior unsecured long term credit rating of BBB/Baa2 (S&P/Moody's) or
higher, or in the event no such rating is available, a comparable Issuer
Rating as provided by either S&P or Moody's and Tenant complies with any
reasonable and customary conditions or requirements of Landlord in
connection with the provision of such self-insurance to confirm an
appropriate self-insurance program. Tenant may not self-insure any of the
other Required Insurance without Landlord's prior written consent. During
any period that Tenant is self-insuring, Tenant shall not be required to
deliver any third party policies, certificates or other evidence of third
party insurance pertaining thereto. If Tenant elects to self-insure, it
shall be obligated to use, or deliver to Landlord (if applicable) or pay
to third parties, all amounts that Landlord, or such third parties, would
have received had Tenant not self-insured. Sums due from Tenant in lieu of
insurance proceeds because of Tenant's self-insurance program shall be
treated as insurance proceeds for all purposes under this Lease, including
Paragraph 13.
(g) Nothing in this Paragraph 12 shall prohibit Tenant from
maintaining at its expense insurance on or with respect to the Premises,
naming Tenant as insured and/or loss payee for any amount greater than the
insurance required to be maintained under this Paragraph 12, unless such
insurance would conflict with or otherwise limit the availability of or
coverage afforded by insurance required to be maintained under this
Paragraph 12.
13. CASUALTY.
If all or a part of the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by
casualty ("CASUALTY"), subject to the provisions of Paragraph 15, (i)
Tenant shall, with reasonable promptness and diligence, rebuild, replace
and repair any damage or destruction to the Premises, at its expense, in
conformity with the requirements of Paragraph 11 (as if such work were
Alterations) in such manner as to restore the same to the same or better
condition and equivalent or better value, as nearly as reasonably
practicable, as existed immediately prior to such casualty and (ii) there
shall be no abatement or reduction whatsoever of Basic Rent or Additional
Rent. If the estimated cost of rebuilding, replacing and repairing any
damage or destruction to the Premises caused by a Casualty, as reasonably
determined by Tenant, shall exceed $10,000,000, Tenant shall promptly
notify Landlord thereof. In the event of a Casualty which results in
damage or destruction to the Premises which Tenant reasonably estimates
will cost $10,000,000 or more to rebuild, replace and repair and which
occurs within the last two (2) years of the Term, Landlord or Tenant may,
by written notice to the other given within sixty (60) days following such
Casualty, elect that Tenant not be required to rebuild, replace and repair
any damage or destruction caused by such Casualty (such notice being a
"RESTORATION WAIVER"). In the event Landlord gives Tenant a Restoration
Waiver and provided an Event of Default does not then exist, Tenant may
render such Restoration Waiver ineffective by giving to Landlord an
Extension Notice with respect to the next remaining Extended Term, if any
then remains, such Extension Notice to be given, notwithstanding any
contrary notice period specified in Paragraph 4, within thirty (30) days
following
-16-
receipt by Tenant of Landlord's Restoration Waiver. In the event that
Tenant gives an Extension Notice pursuant to this Subparagraph 13(a) (that
is, following receipt of a Landlord's Restoration Waiver), then (1)
notwithstanding any contrary provision in Paragraph 4, the Term shall be
deemed extended for the subject Extended Term at the Basic Rent set forth
in EXHIBIT 5, and (2) Tenant shall not thereafter be entitled to withdraw
its Extension Notice for any reason whatsoever. In the event Landlord or
Tenant gives a Restoration Waiver (other than a Landlord's Restoration
Waiver which is rendered ineffective pursuant to this Paragraph 13(a)),
(A) Tenant shall assign and release to Landlord all insurance proceeds
payable in respect of such Casualty and pay to Landlord the amount of any
deductibles; and (B) Tenant shall pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent and
otherwise comply with the terms of this Lease through the expiration of
the Term of this Lease. This Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall vacate
the Premises on the expiration date of the Term. The obligations of Tenant
under this Paragraph 13 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term with respect to any Casualty which occurs prior to
such expiration or earlier termination.
14. CONDEMNATION.
(a) Subject to the rights of Tenant set forth in this Paragraph 14
and in Paragraph 15, Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord any
award or payment to which Tenant may be or become entitled with respect to
the taking of the Premises or any part thereof, by condemnation or other
eminent domain proceedings (or under threat thereof) pursuant to any law,
general or special, or by reason of the temporary taking of any interest
in or the use or occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof, by any
Governmental Authority, whether the same shall be paid or payable in
respect of Tenant's leasehold interest hereunder or otherwise; provided,
however, the foregoing assignment shall not apply to any separate award
which Tenant may be entitled to claim against the condemnor with respect
to Tenant's relocation expenses or with respect to the value of Tenant's
personal property and Excluded Fixtures, so long as such separate award
does not reduce the Net Award (as defined below) to which Landlord is
otherwise entitled. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to claim, retain
or receive any award for loss of its leasehold interest in the Premises.
Landlord and any first Mortgagee shall be entitled to participate in, and
shall consult with Tenant regarding, any such proceeding.
(b) For purposes of this Lease, "CONDEMNATION" shall mean a
governmental taking (other than a temporary taking) of all or any material
portion of the Premises or the principal points of ingress or egress of
the Premises to all public roads or to all of the entrances and exits to
and from the parking garage. If during the Term a portion of the Premises
shall be taken by condemnation or other eminent domain proceedings which
taking does not result in a termination of this Lease pursuant to
Paragraph 15 (a "NON-TERMINATION TAKING"), then this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect without abatement or reduction of Basic Rent or
Additional Rent notwithstanding such taking; provided, however, that in
the event of a Non-Termination Taking, then to the extent usable square
footage of the Improvements is taken and cannot be repaired as required
herein, then the Basic Rent shall be equitably reduced from and after the
date of the Condemnation, based upon the part of the Improvements so
taken, to the extent that any portion of the Improvements is not usable by
Tenant for the purposes for which it was
-17-
originally leased. Tenant shall, promptly after any Non-Termination Taking
(including after the cessation of any temporary taking), at its expense,
repair any damage caused thereby in conformity with the requirements of
Paragraph 11 (as if such work were Alterations) so that, thereafter, the
Premises shall be, to the extent reasonably practicable, in a condition as
good as the condition thereof immediately prior to such taking. In the
event of any Non-Termination Taking, Landlord shall make so much of the
Net Award available to Tenant as is required to make such repair (the
"REPAIR PORTION") at Tenant's direction. Any Net Award in excess of the
Repair Portion shall be delivered to and retained by Landlord as
compensation to Landlord for loss of value to the remainder, except that
in the event of any temporary Non-Termination Taking, Tenant shall be
entitled to receive the entire Net Award so remaining to the extent
applicable to the Term, less any costs incurred by Landlord in connection
therewith. If the cost of any repairs required to be made by Tenant
pursuant to this Subparagraph 14(b) shall exceed the amount of the Net
Award, the deficiency shall be paid by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything in
this Paragraph 14 to the contrary, if any Event of Default then exists,
then Landlord shall make any Net Award available to Tenant for the
rebuilding or restoration of the damaged portion of the Premises only in
accordance with those provisions of Subparagraph 12(c) applicable to
casualty damage in excess of $10,000,000.
(c) For the purposes of this Lease the term "NET AWARD" shall mean:
(i) all amounts payable as a result of any condemnation or other eminent
domain proceeding, less all reasonable expenses for such proceeding not
otherwise paid by Tenant in the collection of such amounts (including
without limitation, all costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by Landlord in participating in any
condemnation or eminent domain proceedings) plus (ii) all amounts payable
pursuant to any agreement with any condemning authority (which agreement
shall be deemed to be a taking) which has been made in settlement of or
under threat of any condemnation or other eminent domain proceeding
affecting the Premises, less all reasonable expenses incurred as a result
thereof not otherwise paid by Tenant in the collection of such amounts
(including without limitation, all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by Landlord in
participating in any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings).
15. TERMINATION OF LEASE FOLLOWING MAJOR CASUALTY OR CONDEMNATION.
(a) If (1) a Casualty or (2) Condemnation shall occur and:
(i) in the case of an insured Casualty, such Casualty shall
render the Premises unsuitable for restoration for continued use and
occupancy in the business of Tenant and shall (y) be a loss of such
dimension that the Premises cannot be completely restored or rebuilt
within two years computed from the hypothetical date of commencement
of such construction assuming a normal 40 hour per week building
schedule, AND (z) materially damage or destroy more than
seventy-five percent (75%) of the total usable square footage of the
Premises (as determined as of the date of the Casualty) (a Casualty
described in clauses (y) and (z) being a "MAJOR CASUALTY");
-18-
(ii) in the case of a Condemnation (other than a temporary
taking), such Condemnation shall render the Premises unsuitable for
restoration for continued use and occupancy in the business of
Tenant and shall constitute a permanent taking of more than
seventy-five percent (75%) of the total usable square footage of the
Premises (as determined as of the date of the Condemnation) (a
Condemnation described in this subparagraph (ii) being a "MAJOR
CONDEMNATION").
then Tenant may, at its option, exercisable not later than ninety (90)
days after the date of such Major Casualty or Major Condemnation, deliver
to Landlord all of the following: (A) notice (a "TERMINATION NOTICE") of
its election to terminate this Lease on the next rental payment date (as
designated by Tenant) that occurs not less than three (3) months or more
than nine (9) months after the delivery of such notice (the "TERMINATION
DATE"); and (B) in the case of a Major Casualty, the certificate of an
architect licensed in the state in which the Premises is located and
approved by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld)
stating that the architect has determined, in its good faith judgment,
both (1) that the Premises cannot be completely restored or rebuilt for
continued use and occupancy in the business of Tenant within a building
construction period of two years computed from the hypothetical date of
commencement of such construction assuming a normal 40 hour per week
building schedule and (2) the Casualty has damaged or destroyed more than
seventy-five percent (75%) of the total usable square footage of the
Premises. As used in this Subparagraph 15(a), the term "usable square
footage of the Premises" shall mean the area of the office, common areas
and other common space in the Buildings (which is approximately 875,694 as
of the date of this Lease) and shall not include any portion of any
parking garage or other parking areas constituting a part of the Premises.
(b) If Tenant delivers to Landlord a Termination Notice, (i) this
Lease shall terminate on the Termination Date, except with respect to
obligations and liabilities of Tenant or Landlord hereunder, actual or
contingent, which have arisen on or prior to the Termination Date, (ii)
the Net Award or Net Insurance Proceeds (including, without limitation,
all rental value insurance proceeds), as the case may be, shall belong and
be paid to Landlord, (iii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Basic Rent and
Additional Rent and other sums then due and payable or accrued hereunder
to and including the Termination Date, and (iv) Tenant shall, on or before
the Termination Date, execute and deliver to Landlord an outright
assignment of such award or proceeds in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Landlord and pay to Landlord an amount equal to any
applicable insurance deductible. In the event Tenant fails to deliver the
Termination Notice in accordance with the time deadline set forth in this
Paragraph 15, then Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 15, and the Lease will continue in full force
and effect.
16. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
(a) Provided no Event of Default then exists, Tenant may sublet all
or any part of the Premises (provided, that each such sublease shall
expressly be made subordinate to this Lease and subject to the provisions
of this Lease, including Paragraph 3, and no
-19-
sublease term shall extend beyond the last day of the then scheduled
expiration of the Term) and may assign all its rights and interests under
this Lease without Landlord's prior consent, except as may be required
below in this Subparagraph 16(a) provided that the use of the Premises by
any such assignee or subtenant continues to comply with the provisions of
Paragraph 3 and any such assignee or subtenant is of a type or character
that is customarily found in Class A office complexes comparable to the
Premises. If Tenant assigns all of its rights and interests under this
Lease, the assignee under such assignment shall expressly assume all the
obligations of Tenant under this Lease in an instrument, approved by
Landlord as to form and substance (which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) and delivered to Landlord at the time of
such assignment. No assignment or sublease made as permitted by this
Subparagraph 16(a) shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant
hereunder and the Tenant shall remain unconditionally liable, and all such
obligations shall continue in full force and effect as obligations of a
principal and not as obligations of a guarantor or surety, to the same
extent as though no assignment or subletting had been made; provided that
performance by any such assignee or sublessee of any of the obligations of
Tenant under this Lease shall be deemed to be performance by Tenant.
Tenant shall be entitled to retain any excess of the rent payable under
any sublease over the Basic Rent payable under this Lease. No sublease or
assignment made as permitted by this Subparagraph 16(a) shall impose any
obligations on Landlord or otherwise affect any of the rights of Landlord
under this Lease. Neither this Lease nor Tenant's leasehold estate shall
be mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated by Tenant or any assignee or
sublessee, nor shall Tenant mortgage or pledge the interest of Tenant in
and to any sublease or assignment of the Premises or the rentals payable
thereunder. Any mortgage, pledge, sublease or assignment made in violation
of this Subparagraph 16(a) shall be void. Tenant shall, within ten (10)
days after the execution and delivery of any such assignment of this Lease
or sublease of all or a portion of the Premises, deliver a conformed copy
thereof to Landlord.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, Tenant shall have the right to assign and/or sublease, and
Landlord's consent shall not be required to any such assignment and/or
subletting, to any corporation or other entity which succeeds to all or
substantially all of the assets and business of Tenant, whether by merger,
consolidation, purchase of assets or other similar corporate
restructuring. In such event, the successor entity shall automatically
become the Tenant under this Lease and if the credit rating of the
successor entity is investment grade and at least equal to Tenant's credit
rating prior to such merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or other
similar corporate restructuring, the prior Tenant hereunder shall have no
further obligations, duties or liabilities under this Lease.
17. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies (in either print or electronic
form) of all 8-K, 10-K and 10-Q reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") by Tenant, in each case within fifteen (15)
days following delivery to the SEC; provided, however, reports filed
electronically with the SEC shall be considered delivered to Landlord for
purposes of this Paragraph 17 provided that (i) Tenant provides to
Landlord
-20-
notice by electronic mail, at an e-mail address provided to Tenant by
Landlord, of each such electronic filing within five (5) days after the
making of any such filing, and (ii) upon written request by Landlord
provides to Landlord a copy of any such filing in print form. If Tenant is
not required to file such reports with the SEC, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord the following:
(i) QUARTERLY STATEMENTS. Within forty-five (45) days after
the end of each quarterly fiscal period (except the last) in each
fiscal year of Tenant, copies of:
(A) a consolidated balance sheet of Tenant and its
consolidated subsidiaries as at the end of such quarter,
(B) a consolidated statement of profits and losses of
Tenant and its consolidated subsidiaries for the current
quarter and the portion of the fiscal year ending with such
quarter, and
(C) a consolidated statement of cash flows of Tenant and
its consolidated subsidiaries for the portion of the fiscal
year ending with the current quarter;
setting forth in each case, in comparative form the figures for the
corresponding periods a year earlier, all in reasonable detail and certified as
having been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied and certified as complete and correct by a senior financial
officer of Tenant;
(ii) ANNUAL STATEMENTS. Within ninety (90) days after the end
of each fiscal year of Tenant, duplicate copies of:
(A) a consolidated balance sheet of Tenant and its
consolidated subsidiaries as at the end of such year,
(B) consolidated statements of profits and losses of
Tenant and its consolidated subsidiaries for such year, and
(C) a consolidated statement of cash flows of Tenant and
its consolidated subsidiaries for such year;
setting forth in each case, in comparative form, the figures for the previous
fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and accompanied by the report thereon,
containing an opinion prepared by a firm of independent certified public
accountants selected by Tenant which opinion shall state that the consolidated
financial statements of Tenant and its consolidated subsidiaries fairly present
the financial condition of the companies (including the results of their
operations and changes in financial position) being reported upon, have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied and that the examination of such accounts in connection
with such financial statements has been made in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the
accounting records and such other auditing procedures as were considered
necessary in the circumstances. If Tenant becomes a
-21-
privately-held company, Landlord agrees that all financial statements and other
financial information delivered by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease
will be deemed confidential information (the "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION").
Landlord will not disclose or use, and will cause its officers, directors,
partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors not to disclose or
use, any Confidential Information except in connection with this Lease;
provided, however, Landlord may provide copies of the Confidential Information
to any prospective Mortgagee or prospective purchasers of or investors in the
Premises, subject to such parties executing a confidentiality agreement
reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall also
provide Landlord (i) access to Tenant's books and records and relevant financial
information with respect to the operation and maintenance of the Premises as is
necessary for Landlord to fulfill any reporting requirements applicable to
Landlord and (ii) an annual budget (containing both operating and capital
budgets) for the operation and maintenance of the Premises. At Landlord's
request, on an annual basis, Tenant will make appropriate representatives of
Tenant available to review and discuss any such budget and any items therein in
light of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
18. PERMITTED CONTESTS.
So long as no Event of Default then exists, Tenant shall not be required
to (i) pay any Imposition (as defined in Subparagraph 33(c)); (ii) comply with
any Legal Requirements; (iii) discharge or remove any lien, encumbrance or
charge; or (iv) obtain any waivers or settlements or make any changes to the
physical condition of the Premises or take any other action with respect to any
encroachment, hindrance, obstruction, violation or impairment referred to in
Subparagraph 10(c), so long as Tenant shall contest, in good faith and at its
expense, the existence, the amount or the validity thereof, the amount of the
damages caused thereby, or the extent of its liability therefor, by appropriate
proceedings provided that (A) during the pendency of the contest there is
prevented (1) the collection of, or other realization upon, the tax, assessment,
levy, fee, rent or charge or lien, encumbrance or charge so contested (or in the
alternative, Tenant pays the full amount in dispute under protest); (2) the
sale, forfeiture or loss of the Premises, or any part thereof, or the Basic Rent
or any Additional Rent, or any portion thereof; (3) any interference with the
payment of the Basic Rent or any Additional Rent, or any portion thereof; and
(4) any impairment of the fair market value of the Premises; and (B) such
contest shall not subject Landlord or any Mortgagee to the risk of any criminal
liability. While any such proceedings are pending, so long as all of the
foregoing conditions continue to be met, Landlord shall not pay, remove or cause
to be discharged the tax, assessment, levy, fee, rent or charge or lien,
encumbrance or charge thereby being contested. Tenant further agrees that each
such contest shall be prosecuted to a final conclusion as soon as reasonably
possible. TENANT SHALL PAY, INDEMNIFY, DEFEND (WITH COUNSEL SELECTED BY TENANT
AND REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO LANDLORD) AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES
(AS DEFINED IN SUBPARAGRAPH 7(e)) AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, JUDGMENTS,
DECREES AND COSTS (INCLUDING ALL REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES) IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH CONTEST AND SHALL, PROMPTLY AFTER THE FINAL SETTLEMENT,
COMPROMISE OR DETERMINATION OF SUCH CONTEST, FULLY PAY AND DISCHARGE THE AMOUNTS
WHICH SHALL BE LEVIED, ASSESSED, CHARGED OR IMPOSED OR BE DETERMINED TO BE
PAYABLE THEREIN OR IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, TOGETHER WILL ALL PENALTIES, FINES,
INTERESTS, COSTS AND EXPENSES THEREOF OR IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND PERFORM
ALL ACTS, THE PERFORMANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE ORDERED OR DECREED AS A RESULT
THEREOF. The obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 18 shall survive
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
-22-
19. DEFAULT PROVISIONS.
(a) Any of the following occurrences or acts shall constitute an
event of default (herein called an "EVENT OF DEFAULT") under this Lease:
(i) If Tenant, at any time during the continuance of this
Lease (and regardless of the pendency of any bankruptcy,
reorganization, receivership, insolvency or other proceedings, at
law, in equity, or before any administrative tribunal, which have or
might have the effect of preventing Tenant from complying with the
terms of this Lease), shall (A) fail to make any payment when due of
Basic Rent and such failure continues for ten (10) Business Days
following written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying such
failure, (B) fail to make any payment when due of Additional Rent
and such failure continues for twenty (20) Business Days following
written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying such failure, (C)
fail to maintain any insurance required under this Lease and such
failure continues for ten (10) Business Days following written
notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying such failure, or (D) fail
to observe or perform any other material provision hereof for thirty
(30) Business Days following written notice from Landlord to Tenant
specifying such failure, provided, that in the case of any default
referred to in this Lease which is reasonably susceptible of cure
but cannot with diligence be cured within such thirty (30) Business
Day period, then, upon receipt by Landlord of a certificate of
Tenant signed by an officer of Tenant stating the reason such
default cannot be cured within thirty (30) Business Days, describing
the efforts being undertaken by Tenant to cure such default and
reasonably estimating the cure period, and provided that Tenant at
all times proceeds with good faith due diligence to cure such
default, the time within which such failure may be cured shall be
extended for such period as may be necessary to complete the curing
of the same with continuous, good faith due diligence (provided
further that Tenant shall provide Landlord with an update of such
original certificate, signed by an officer of Tenant, no less
frequently than monthly, which update shall include a reasonably
detailed description of what Tenant is continuing to do and what
Tenant has then accomplished, and a reasonable estimate of how long
it will take to complete the cure); or
(ii) If any representation or warranty of Tenant set forth in
this Lease or in any written certificate delivered pursuant to, or
in connection with, this Lease shall prove to be incorrect in any
material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made
and as of the time when the incorrectness shall be discovered and if
reasonably susceptible of cure shall not have been cured within
thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of written notice to Tenant
thereof, provided that, upon receipt by Landlord of a certificate of
Tenant signed by an officer of Tenant stating the reason such
incorrectness has not been cured within such thirty (30) Business
Day period, describing the efforts being undertaken by Tenant to
cure such default and reasonably estimating the cure period, and
provided that Tenant at all times proceeds with good faith due
diligence to cure such default, the time within which such
incorrectness may be cured shall be extended for such period as may
be necessary to complete the curing of the same
-23-
with continuous, good faith due diligence (provided further that
Tenant shall provide Landlord with an update of such original
certificate, signed by an officer of Tenant, upon Landlord's
request, which update shall include a reasonably detailed
description of what Tenant is continuing to do and what Tenant has
then accomplished, and a reasonable estimate of how long it will
take to complete the cure); or
(iii) If Tenant shall file a petition commencing a voluntary
case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state
law (as now or hereafter in effect) relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, winding-up or adjustment of debts
(hereinafter singly a "BANKRUPTCY LAW" and collectively "BANKRUPTCY
LAWS") or if Tenant shall (A) apply for or consent to the
appointment of, or the taking of possession by, any receiver,
custodian, trustee, United States Trustee or liquidator (or other
similar official) of the Premises or any part thereof or of any
substantial portion of Tenant's property or (B) make a general
assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or
(iv) If an order for relief against Tenant shall be entered in
any involuntary case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any
similar order against Tenant shall be entered pursuant to any other
Bankruptcy Law, or if a petition commencing an involuntary case
against Tenant or proposing the reorganization of Tenant under any
Bankruptcy Law shall be filed and not be discharged or denied within
ninety (90) days after such filing, or if an order, judgment or
decree by any court of competent jurisdiction approving or ordering
(A) the liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding-up or
adjustment of debts of Tenant, or (B) the appointment of a receiver,
custodian, trustee, United States Trustee or liquidator (or any
similar official) of the Premises or any part thereof or of Tenant
or of any substantial portion of Tenant's property shall be entered
and continue unstayed and in effect for ninety (90) days.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Landlord shall have, in its sole discretion, the following rights:
(i) To terminate the Term of this Lease by written notice to
Tenant. Thereupon, the Term of this Lease and the estate hereby
granted shall terminate on the date on which Landlord designates in
such notice as completely and with the same effect as if such date
were the date fixed herein for the expiration of the Term of this
Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall terminate, but
Tenant shall remain liable as provided herein. In the event of
Landlord's termination of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
all Basic Rent and Additional Rent to and including the date of
termination.
(ii) If Landlord has terminated the Lease pursuant to clause
(i) above, to (A) re-enter and repossess the Premises or any part
thereof by summary proceedings, ejections or otherwise and (B)
remove all persons and property therefrom.
-24-
(iii) To use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises or any
part thereof for the account of Tenant, in the name of Tenant or
Landlord or otherwise, without notice to Tenant, for such term or
terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would
otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease)
and on such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent)
and for such uses as Landlord, in its absolute discretion, may
determine; provided Landlord shall not be required to make any
effort to relet the Premises except as required by applicable law.
Landlord may collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such
reletting. If the Premises are relet by Landlord for the account of
Tenant, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to
Landlord, as damages (A) all Basic Rent and all Additional Rent as
and when such amounts would be payable under this Lease by Tenant in
the absence of any such reletting, together with all reasonable
expenses of Landlord in connection with such reletting efforts, if
any (including, without limitation, all reasonable repossession
costs, brokerage commissions, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, and reasonable repair costs), less (B) the net proceeds,
if any, of any reletting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event any such reletting is for a term longer than the balance of
the Term, Tenant shall be responsible for only a proportionate part
of the expenses based on the balance of the Term as compared to the
fixed minimum term of the reletting. Tenant shall pay such damages
on the dates on which Rent would be payable under this Lease in the
absence of such reletting, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover
the same from Tenant on each such date.
(iv) without thereby waiving such Event of Default, Landlord
may, but shall not be obligated to, take all action, including,
without limitation, entry upon the Premises, to perform the
obligation of Tenant hereunder immediately and without notice in the
case of any emergency as may be reasonably determined by Landlord
and upon five (5) business days' notice to Tenant in other cases.
All reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in connection
therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
to the extent actually incurred and expenses (including, without
limitation, those incurred in connection with any appellate
proceedings), shall constitute Additional Rent under this Lease and
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.
(v) In the event of the termination of the Term by reason of
the occurrence of an Event of Default, whether or not Landlord shall
have collected any damages pursuant to clause (i) above with respect
to the period prior to such termination, Landlord shall be entitled
to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand,
as damages for Tenant's default and in lieu of all liquidated and
other damages in respect of Basic Rent and Additional Rent due
beyond the date of such termination, an amount equal to the sum of:
(I) the excess of (a) the aggregate of all Basic Rent
and Additional Rent, in each case from the date of such
termination for what is or would have been, in the absence of
such termination, the then unexpired Term, discounted on a
monthly basis at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (1) the
interest rate then chargeable prior to a default under the
note
-25-
secured by the first Mortgage less one percent (1%) or (2) the
then quoted semi-annual yields (which shall be converted to
monthly yields) on U.S. Treasury securities maturing nearest
the end of the Term (as if no termination had occurred) (the
"DISCOUNT RATE") over (b) the then fair rental value of the
Premises for the same period, discounted on a monthly basis at
the Discount Rate, plus
(II) Landlord's other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred as a result of such Event of Default. If any
applicable law shall limit the amount of damages described in
this Subparagraph 19(b) to less than the foregoing amount,
Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable
under such law.
(c) No termination of this Lease pursuant to Subparagraph 19(b)(i),
by operation of law or otherwise, and no repossession of the Premises or
any part thereof pursuant to Subparagraph 19(b)(ii) or otherwise, and no
reletting of the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to Subparagraph
19(b)(iii), and no payment of any amounts by Tenant under Subparagraph
19(b) or the exercise by Landlord of any of its other rights under
Subparagraph 19(b) shall relieve Tenant of any liabilities under this
Lease which by express provision of this Lease survive such expiration,
termination, repossession, reletting or purchase. Nothing in this
Paragraph 19 shall be deemed to waive any duty of Landlord under
applicable law to mitigate damages as a result of an Event of Default.
(d) In the event of litigation between the parties with respect to
the enforcement of Landlord's remedies under this Lease, the losing party
shall reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses incurred by the prevailing party with respect thereto.
20. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF LANDLORD.
(a) The rights and remedies set forth in Subparagraph 19(b) may be
exercised in any order and in any combination whatsoever. No right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and
remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. The
failure of Landlord to insist at any time upon the strict performance of
any covenant or agreement or to exercise any option, right, power or
remedy contained in this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver or a
relinquishment thereof for the future. A receipt by Landlord of any Basic
Rent, any Additional Rent or any other sum payable hereunder with
knowledge of the breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this
Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by
Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made
unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. In addition to other
remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, to injunctive relief in case of the
violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the covenants,
agreements, conditions or provision of this Lease, or to a decree or
judgment compelling performance of any of the covenants, agreements,
conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to any other remedy allowed to
-26-
Landlord at law or in equity.
(b) Tenant hereby waives and surrenders (i) any right or privilege
which it or any of them may have under any present or future constitution,
statute or rule of law to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of
this Lease for the Term hereby demised or for a lesser period after
termination of Tenant's right of occupancy: (1) by order or judgment of
any court, (2) by any legal process or writ, or (3) under the terms of
this Lease or after the termination of the Term of this Lease as herein
provided and (ii) the benefits of any present or future constitution,
statute or rule of law which exempts property from liability for debt or
for distress for rent.
(c) Tenant shall promptly (upon receipt of any invoices therefor)
reimburse Landlord and each Mortgagee for any reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord and each such Mortgagee in connection with
any consents, approvals, waivers or amendments requested by Tenant of
Landlord and/or any Mortgagee or otherwise required under or in connection
with this Lease.

22. TRANSFER BY LANDLORD.
Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 39, when applicable, Landlord
shall be free to transfer its fee interest in the Premises or any part thereof
or interest therein. Landlord shall be released from the responsibility for the
performance of any liabilities and obligations which shall arise under the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease subsequent to the date of any such
permitted transfer. In no event shall a transfer or sale of the Premises be
binding upon Tenant until Tenant has received a copy of the original instrument
assigning Landlord's interest in this Lease. Such instrument shall evidence the
fact that such assignee or transferee has assumed full and complete liability
for all future obligations and responsibilities of Landlord, which will arise
under, out of and/or in connection with this Lease from and after the effective
date of such assignment or transfer; provided, however, that such assignee shall
not be liable for the obligations and responsibilities of Landlord arising
under, out of and/or in connection with this Lease prior to the effective date
of such assignment or transfer. In the event that, in compliance with this
Paragraph 22, Landlord transfers its interest in this Lease, Tenant agrees to
attorn to such assignee or transferee with respect to Tenant's obligations under
this Lease provided such assignee or transferee recognizes Tenant's rights under
this Lease. Tenant shall, upon Landlord's or such transferee's written request,
enter into an attornment agreement providing for such attornment.
23. MORTGAGING BY LANDLORD.
(a) Landlord shall be free to grant one or more mortgages, deeds of
trust or like security interest in the Premises and this Lease
(individually a "MORTGAGE") to one or more mortgagees, deed of trust
trustees or other grantees (individually, together with each holder of any
note secured thereby, a "MORTGAGEE") on the condition that either (i) this
-28-
Lease shall be superior to the Mortgage, or (ii) if this Lease is to be
subordinate to the Mortgage, Tenant receives from the Mortgagee a
subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement (an "SNDA")
substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT 23. Tenant agrees,
within fifteen (15) Business Days after request by Landlord, to execute
and deliver an SNDA substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT
23 and to cooperate with Landlord and any Mortgagee and consider in good
faith any changes to the form of SNDA attached hereto as EXHIBIT 23
reasonably requested by such Mortgagee. Tenant agrees to attorn, at the
request of any Mortgagee, to such Mortgagee or other transferee upon a
transfer of title by reason of foreclosure of such Mortgage or deed in
lieu of foreclosure thereof. No such transfer shall be effective as to
Tenant until Tenant receives written notice thereof and a certified copy
of the recorded deed or other instrument evidencing such transfer. In
connection with any proposed transfer, pledge or mortgage of Landlord's
fee interest in the Premises or any portion of the ownership interests in
Landlord, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of
Landlord's written request therefor, provide Landlord and the proposed
transferee and/or Mortgagee with confirmation in writing that subject to
the applicable provisions of Subparagraph 23(a), Tenant shall recognize
such transferee and Mortgagee as such in the event of the consummation of
the transaction described in such notice.
(b) Any Mortgagee which becomes an assignee of Landlord's interest
in this Lease, whether by foreclosure of a Mortgage or pursuant to a deed
in lieu thereof, or any successor to such assignee, shall not be obligated
to perform any duty, covenant or condition required to be performed by
Landlord under any of the terms hereof (except for obligations that first
arise on and after such time as the Mortgagee shall obtain title to the
Premises following foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure), but on the
contrary, Tenant and Landlord, by their respective executions hereof, each
acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding any such assignment each and
all of such duties, covenants or conditions required to be performed by
Landlord shall survive any such assignment and shall be and remain the
sole liability of Landlord. Subject to the prior sentence, any transferee
of Landlord's interest which acquires such interest from a Mortgagee, and
any purchaser of such interest at a foreclosure sale in respect of a
Mortgage (or transferee of a deed in lieu of such a foreclosure), shall
not be obligated to any duty, covenant or condition required to be
performed by Landlord under any of the terms hereof, which obligation
first arises prior to said transferee's or purchaser's acquisition of
Landlord's interest under this Lease and shall not otherwise be liable for
the defaults of any prior Landlord hereunder. Without limiting the
foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the rights of all such
assignees, purchasers and transferees in and to Basic Rent and Additional
Rent shall not be subject to any abatement whatsoever, or be subject to
any defense, setoff, counterclaim or recoupment or reduction of any kind
by reason of any event or circumstance which occurred prior to the date
upon which any such assignee, purchaser or transferee obtained title to
the Premises or the Landlord's interest in this Lease. Tenant shall pay
when due all reasonable fees and expenses of any Mortgagee and its
attorneys which are payable by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the
Mortgage and which arise by reason of any default of Tenant under this
Lease or any request by Tenant for any amendment or modification of, or
waiver or consent relating to, the terms of this Lease, any assignment or
subletting or any action otherwise affecting the Premises.
-29-
24. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.
(a) Tenant shall at any time and from time to time, within twenty
(20) days following receipt by Tenant of a written request therefor from
Landlord or any Mortgagee, execute, acknowledge and deliver to such
requesting party executed Tenant's Certificates substantially in the forms
attached hereto as EXHIBIT 24-1 and EXHIBIT 24-2, and confirming or
addressing any other facts, circumstances or matters relating to the Lease
that may be reasonably requested so long as such other facts,
circumstances or matters do not include a waiver of any rights of Tenant.
Any such certificate may be relied upon by any Mortgagee, prospective
purchaser or prospective Mortgagee of the Premises or any interest in
Landlord.
(b) Landlord shall at any time and from time to time, within twenty
(20) days following receipt by Landlord of a written request therefor from
Tenant, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Tenant (or as Tenant may
reasonably direct), a certificate reciting factually correct information
pertaining to this Lease as reasonably requested by Tenant, including,
without limitation, whether to Landlord's actual knowledge Tenant is then
in default hereunder, the last dates and amounts of Rent paid hereunder
and the dates of any modifications to this Lease. Such certificates may be
relied upon by the parties to whom Tenant requests that they be addressed,
including Tenant's lenders or a potential purchaser of Tenant.
25. NO MERGER.
There shall be no merger of this Lease or the leasehold estate
hereby created with the fee estate in the Premises or any part thereof by reason
of the same person acquiring or holding, directly or indirectly, this Lease or
the leasehold estate hereby created or any interest in this Lease or in such
leasehold estate as well as the fee estate in the Premises or any portion
thereof.
26. SURRENDER.
Upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this
Lease, Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Premises to Landlord in the
condition in which the Premises is to be kept under the other provisions of this
Lease, including without limitation, Paragraph 10. There shall be no renewal of
this Lease by operation of law. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, remove from
the Premises prior to such termination all property not owned by Landlord, and
immediately repair any damage caused by such removal. Any such Property not so
removed shall, at Landlord's election, become the property of Landlord. Landlord
may thereafter cause such property to be removed and disposed of and the cost of
repairing any damage caused by such removal shall be borne by Tenant.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon termination of
this Lease, all building fixtures and mechanical systems, including, but not
limited to, the plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning
systems, shall remain on the Premises and shall become the property of Landlord.
-30-
27. SEVERABILITY.
Each and every covenant and agreement contained in this Lease is
separate and independent, and the breach of any thereof by Landlord shall not
discharge or relieve Tenant from any obligation hereunder. If any term or
provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or
circumstances shall at any time be invalid and unenforceable, the remainder of
this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or
circumstances or at any time other than those to which it is invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such remaining term and
provision of this Lease shall be valid and shall be enforced to the extent
permitted by law.
28. SAVINGS CLAUSE.
No provision contained in this Lease which purports to obligate the
Tenant to pay any amount of interest or any fees, costs or expenses which are in
excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law shall be effective to the
extent that it calls for payment of any interest or other sums in excess of such
maximum.
29. BINDING EFFECT.
Subject to Paragraphs 16, 22 and 23, all of the covenants,
conditions and obligations contained in this Lease shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of Landlord and
Tenant. No amendment of this Lease shall be effective unless expressed in
writing executed by Landlord and Tenant. Time is of the essence of this Lease.
30. MEMORANDUM OF LEASE.
Simultaneously with the execution and delivery hereof, Landlord and
Tenant shall enter into and record, at Tenant's expense, a memorandum of this
Lease in the form of EXHIBIT 30 attached hereto. Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term, Tenant, upon request by Landlord, shall promptly
execute and deliver any documentation reasonably requested by Landlord to
cancel, terminate and release such memorandum from the Real Property Records of
Tarrant County, Texas and any other public records in which it has been
recorded.

35. REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES.
To induce Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant makes the
representations and warranties set forth in EXHIBIT 35 to this Lease.

the express terms and conditions of this Lease.
38. EASEMENTS.
(a) Landlord shall in good faith consider the execution and delivery
of, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Mortgagee to join
in and subordinate the Mortgage to, any amendments to or replacements of
existing Easements (as defined in Subparagraph 10(b) above), but not the
creation of additional easements, reasonably required for or beneficial to
Tenant's use and operation of the Premises or the development and use of any
property adjacent to the Premises owned by Tenant, or any affiliate of Tenant
(the "ADJACENT PARCELS"), provided such amendment is in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and such Mortgagee and does not (i) reduce
the value of the Premises or the projected value of the Premises at the end of
the Term or (ii) adversely affect the current or future use and operation of the
buildings, structures, improvements and facilities located on or constituting a
part of the Premises. All costs associated with respect to the relocation of any
Easements including, but not limited to, the construction of improvements
associated therewith, shall be borne by Tenant or the applicable owner of the
Adjacent Parcel.
(b) Prior to or contemporaneous with the execution of this Lease,
Landlord and Tenant have entered into that certain Reciprocal Easement Agreement
with Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (the "REA") binding upon the
Premises and the Adjacent Parcels and all present and future owners, occupants
and lienholders of such parcels. Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree that
each will comply with and/or enforce, as the case may require, all rights,
covenants, and agreements granted in or created by the REA. Tenant, as part of
Additional Rent hereunder, shall be responsible for and pay any costs and
expenses incurred or payable by the owner of the Premises with respect to any
obligations under the REA during the Term.
-34-
39. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.
(a) Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 39, Tenant shall have a right of
first offer as described in this Paragraph 39 with respect to any sale or
transfer of the Premises, or any interest therein, to any person or entity;
provided, however, said right of first offer shall not apply to any Excluded
Transaction as provided in Section 39(e) below. If Landlord intends to offer for
sale the Premises, or any interest therein, to any party (other than in
connection with an Excluded Transaction), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a
written notice (constituting an offer) stating the sales price and all other
material terms for the sale of the Premises (or such interest) that Landlord
would accept (the "FIRST OFFER"). Tenant shall have thirty (30) days (the
"ACCEPTANCE PERIOD") from its receipt of the First Offer to accept, by written
notice to Landlord, the First Offer. Landlord may not revoke the First Offer
during the Acceptance Period. If Tenant accepts the First Offer for the
Premises, Tenant must enter into a purchase agreement with Landlord for the
purchase and sale of the Premises by the later of (i) the expiration of the
Acceptance Period or (ii) fifteen (15) days after Tenant has irrevocably
accepted the First Offer by written notice to Landlord as provided above. The
purchase agreement for the sale of the Premises shall provide for closing on the
terms set forth in the First Offer. Landlord and Tenant agree to negotiate any
purchase agreement in good faith. The failure of Tenant to accept the First
Offer by written notice to Landlord within the Acceptance Period as provided
above shall constitute rejection by Tenant of the First Offer.
(b) If Tenant rejects the First Offer or fails to accept the First
Offer prior to the expiration of the Acceptance Period, or if an Event of
Default occurs during the Acceptance Period, Landlord may, subject to the terms
hereof, offer the Premises (or interest therein) for sale to third parties at a
price not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the price and on other economic
terms materially no more beneficial to the third party than those contained in
the First Offer; provided, however, that if Landlord desires to accept an offer
from a third party (the "OFFEREE") at a price that is less than ninety-five
percent (95%) of the price offered to Tenant (including in all cases debt to be
assumed) in the First Offer, then Landlord shall be required to re-offer the
Premises (or interest therein) to Tenant at such reduced price (the "REVISED
FIRST OFFER"), in which event Tenant shall either accept or reject the Revised
First Offer, by written notice to Landlord, within seven (7) days after the date
of its receipt of the Revised First Offer (with the failure of Tenant to accept
the Revised First Offer by written notice to Landlord within the such 7-day
period being deemed to be a rejection by Tenant of the Revised First Offer). If
Landlord desires to accept an offer from any Offeree for a price that is
ninety-five percent (95%) or more of the price offered to Tenant in the First
Offer (or a lower price if Tenant rejects any Revised First Offer), Landlord may
enter into a bona fide agreement to sell, assign or otherwise transfer the
Premises (or such interest therein) to the Offeree no later than two hundred
seventy (270) days after the end of the Acceptance Period and may close such
sale, assignment or other transfer no later than three hundred sixty-five (365)
days after the end of the Acceptance Period. Absent the execution and delivery
of such bona fide agreement to sell, assign or otherwise transfer within such
270-day period and closing of the sale, assignment or transfer within such
365-day period, Landlord shall be required to repeat the procedure set forth in
this Paragraph 39 if it still desires to sell the Premises.
(c) In the event that Landlord shall receive an unsolicited Bona
Fide Offer (as
-35-
defined below) to purchase the Premises at any time and from time to time during
the Term of this Lease from any person or entity, Landlord shall so notify
Tenant together with a true and correct copy of said Bona Fide Offer. For
purposes hereof, a "BONA FIDE OFFER" shall be deemed to be one made in writing
by a person or entity in connection with a transaction that is not an Excluded
Transaction (as hereinafter defined) and which Landlord desires to accept
(subject to this Subparagraph 39(c)). In submitting the Bona Fide Offer to
Tenant, Landlord shall segregate the price and the terms of the offer for the
Premises from the price and other terms connected with any additional property
or properties that such person or entity is offering to purchase from Landlord.
Tenant may, at Tenant's option and within thirty (30) days after receipt of
Landlord's notice of said Bona Fide Offer and receipt of a copy thereof, agree
to purchase the Premises at the price and upon the terms and conditions as are
contained in said Bona Fide Offer, in which event, Landlord shall sell the
Premises to Tenant, and Tenant shall purchase the Premises from Landlord, upon
said terms and conditions and said price. If Tenant fails to respond to
Landlord's notice of said Bona Fide Offer within said thirty (30) day time
period, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right of first refusal
contained in this Subparagraph 39(c), but only as to the transaction
contemplated in the Bona Fide Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the price
that Tenant shall pay for the Premises shall be reduced by an amount equal to
broker's fees or commissions that would have been payable by Landlord if the
Premises were sold pursuant to a Bona Fide Offer, except to the extent that
Landlord is otherwise obligated to pay such fees or commissions to an
unaffiliated third party upon the sale of the Premises to Tenant pursuant to the
provisions of this Subparagraph 39(c). Landlord shall provide Tenant evidence of
the amount of broker's fees or commissions payable in connection with any such
Bona Fide Offer.
(d) Landlord covenants that it shall not convey the Premises until
it has complied with the terms of this Paragraph 39; provided, however, that
after the initial conveyance by Landlord to any third party in connection with a
transaction that is not an Excluded Transaction in compliance with the
provisions of this Paragraph 39 (whether pursuant to the provisions of
Subparagraph 39(b) or (c)), the provisions of this Paragraph 39 shall be void
and of no further force and effect and shall no longer apply to any subsequent
transfer or sale of the Premises by the owner thereof unless any such initial
conveyance occurs on or before the third (3rd) anniversary of the date hereof,
in which event compliance by Landlord with the terms of this Paragraph 39 shall
be required for the immediately succeeding conveyance by Landlord to any third
party in connection with a transaction that is not an Excluded Transaction but
not in connection with any subsequent conveyance or transaction by Landlord
thereafter, and, after such immediately succeeding transaction, the provisions
of this Paragraph 39 shall be void and of no further force and effect and shall
no longer apply to any subsequent transfer or sale of the Premises by the owner
thereof. Upon request by Landlord, in connection with any such initial
conveyance or other transaction for which Tenant has or is deemed to have
rejected or waived its rights pursuant to the provisions of Subparagraph 39(b)
or (c) above, Tenant, within five (5) days after notice from Landlord, shall
execute and deliver an instrument, in recordable form and otherwise in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, evidencing such rejection or
waiver and confirming that Tenant has no rights whatsoever with respect to such
conveyance or other transaction, and in addition, if requested by Landlord,
Tenant shall execute and deliver an amendment to this Lease acknowledging that
the rights of Tenant in this Paragraph 39 are no longer in effect and deleting
this provisions of this Paragraph 39 from this Lease. Tenant may
-36-
enforce this Paragraph 39, without limitation, by injunction, specific
performance or other equitable relief. The terms and conditions contained in
this Paragraph 39 shall be binding upon the heirs, successors and assigns of
Landlord and Tenant.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 39 to the contrary,
the provisions of this Paragraph 39 shall not apply to, and Landlord shall have
no obligation to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 39 in connection
with any of the following (each an "EXCLUDED TRANSACTION"): (i) any transfer or
sale of the Premises, or any interest therein, in conjunction with the joint
marketing or sale of the Premises with one or more other assets or properties of
Landlord or any Landlord Affiliate (as hereinafter defined in Subparagraph
39(f)) if the Premises and such other assets or properties together have a total
aggregate gross purchase price (without deduction for debt) in excess of an
amount equal to Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000.00), as increased on
each anniversary of the date of this Lease by 1.25%; (ii) any transfer,
assignment, issuance or sale of any partnership or other direct or indirect
beneficial ownership interest in Landlord (including in connection with the
admission of additional partners or other beneficial owners) so long as the Fund
(as hereinafter defined in Subparagraph 39(f)) maintains not less than a twenty
percent (20%) direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest in Landlord or
Landlord continues to be controlled by or is under common control with Kan Am
Grund, acting for the benefit of the Fund; (iii) any transfer, assignment or
conveyance of all or any portion of the Premises to a partnership, limited
liability company or other entity controlled by or under common control with
Landlord or Kan Am Grund (as hereinafter defined in Subparagraph 39(f)), acting
for the benefit the Fund, or in which Landlord or the Fund continues to maintain
not less than a twenty percent (20%) direct or indirect beneficial ownership
interest; (iv) any transaction involving an acquisition, disposition, merger,
"roll-up" consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, restructuring, joint
venture, partnership, limited liability company, or any other material corporate
transaction involving the Fund and/or its assets, including, without limitation,
any transfer of all or any portion of the assets of the Fund to a public or
private market vehicle that intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust
or similar entity under German or United States law; (v) the purchase, sale,
redemption, transfer, assignment or other conveyance of all or any interest in
the Fund or in Kan Am Grund, the sponsor of the Fund; (vi) any transaction
involving a sale, disposition, assignment, transfer, consolidation, merger,
reorganization, recapitalization or other restructuring of Kan Am Grund, the
sponsor of the Fund, or any interest in Kan Am Grund; (vii) any transaction
involving a change in the sponsorship or management of the Fund; and (viii) any
sale, transfer or conveyance of Landlord's interest in the Premises in
connection with the foreclosure of any Mortgage whether by judicial or
non-judicial sale, or any deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure.
(f) As used in this Paragraph 39, the following terms shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto below:
"KAN AM GRUND" means Kan Am Grund Kapitalanlagegesellschaft
mbH, a German limited liability company and the sponsor and manager of the
Fund.
"FUND" means Kan Am grundinvest Fonds, a German open-end real
estate fund sponsored by Kan Am Grund.
-37-
"LANDLORD AFFILIATE" means any entity (i) that is controlled
by or under common control with Landlord or Kan Am Grund, acting for the
benefit of the Fund, or (ii) which not less than twenty percent (20%)
direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest is owned by Landlord or
the Fund.
40. NAMING AND SIGNING RIGHTS.
Tenant shall have the sole and exclusive right, at any time and from
time to time, to select the name or names of the Premises and the Improvements,
and the sole and exclusive right to determine not to use any name in connection
with the Premises, as well as all rights in respect of signage for or in
connection with the Premises. Landlord shall not have or acquire any right or
interest with respect to any such name or names used at any time by Tenant, or
any trade name, trademark, service mark or other intellectual property of any
type of Tenant which are and shall remain the sole property of Tenant. Landlord
shall cooperate with Tenant to effectuate Tenant's sign rights hereunder, at no
cost to Tenant.
41. BROKERS.
Tenant has not dealt with anyone other than Eastdil Realty Company,
L.L.C. ("TENANT'S BROKER") in connection with this Lease. Tenant will pay a fee
to Tenant's Broker by separate agreement. Other than Tenant's Broker, Landlord
and Tenant do hereby hold and save each other harmless from any loss, cost,
damage or expense, including attorneys' fees due by virtue of any claim for a
brokerage commission claimed or arising as a consequence of this Lease. Each of
the parties hereto represents and warrants to the other that it has not caused
any other broker, agent, finder, or other party to be entitled to a fee or
commission by reason of this Lease except for Tenant's Broker.
42. FORCE MAJEURE.
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord
and/or Tenant shall be excused for the period of delay in the performance of any
and all of their obligations under this Lease other than the obligation to pay
any monetary amounts as same shall fall due, and shall not be considered in
default when prevented from so performing by cause or causes beyond Landlord's
or Tenant's reasonable control, including, but not limited to, all labor
disputes, civil commotion, war, fire or other casualty, shortage of supplies and
materials, government regulation or through act of God.
43. EXCULPATORY CLAUSE.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, the
liability of Landlord under and with respect to this Lease shall be limited to
the interest of Landlord in the Premises, and any judgment in favor of Tenant or
any party claiming by, through or under Tenant against Landlord shall be
collectable only out of Landlord's interest in the Premises.
44. LETTER OF CREDIT.
(a) Except as hereafter provided in this Paragraph 44, Tenant shall
not be required to deposit with Landlord any security deposit in connection with
this Lease. Upon
-38-
Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant's cost and expense,
deliver to Landlord (or if requested by Landlord, with any Mortgagee designated
by Landlord) an unconditional, clean, irrevocable letter of credit in the amount
of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) (a "LETTER OF CREDIT") that (i)
names Landlord (or if requested by Landlord, any Mortgagee designated by
Landlord) as the beneficiary, (ii) is issued by a federally chartered bank or
trust company having at least $50 billion in assets or by another financial
institution acceptable to Landlord which accepts deposits, maintains accounts,
has an office in one or more of the contiguous forty-eight United States of
America which will negotiate a letter of credit, and whose deposits are insured
by the FDIC, (iii) has an expiry date of not less than one year from the date of
issuance, (iv) permits multiple or partial drawings and permits all drawings by
sight drafts only, (v) is fully transferable by Landlord without the payment of
any fees or charges by Landlord, (vi) contains an "evergreen provision"
providing that the Letter of Credit shall be deemed automatically renewed,
without amendment, for consecutive periods of one year each thereafter during
the remaining Term (and in no event shall the Letter of Credit expire prior to
the 45th day following the expiration of the Term) unless the issuing bank sends
a notice (the "NON-RENEWAL NOTICE") to Landlord by certified mail, return
receipt requested, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the then expiration
date of the Letter of Credit stating that the issuing bank has elected not to
renew the Letter of Credit and (vii) is issued in accordance with the most
recent version of Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits and is
otherwise in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The Letter of
Credit shall be held by Landlord to ensure the performance of Tenant's covenants
and obligations under this Lease.
(b) If at any time during the Term of this Lease, either (i) the senior
unsecured long term credit rating of Tenant is downgraded by both Standard &
Poor's Company ("S&P") and Moody's Investors Service ("MOODY'S") to below
BBB-/Baa3 (S&P/Moody's), or (ii) only one of S&P and Moody's publishes a senior
unsecured long term credit rating for Tenant, such long term credit rating of
Tenant is downgraded below BBB-/Baa3 (S&P/Moody's), as the case may be, or (iii)
neither S&P nor Moody's publishes a senior unsecured long term credit rating for
Tenant, then at any time thereafter upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
by Tenant (and the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period),
Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or by
applicable law and without further notice to Tenant, draw upon the Letter of
Credit and apply the proceeds thereof to the extent necessary to cure any
arrears of Rent or other payments due to Landlord as a result of such Event of
Default as provided herein, and in such event Tenant shall immediately deliver
to Landlord an endorsement of the issuer of the Letter of Credit reinstating and
increasing the credit for the portion thereof so used by Landlord, or an
additional Letter of Credit conforming to the requirements of this paragraph, in
an amount equal to the reduced portion of the original Letter of Credit so used
by Landlord. Tenant shall not encumber the Letter of Credit in any manner (and
Landlord shall not be bound by any purported encumbrance), nor shall Tenant's
obligation to reimburse the issuer of the Letter of Credit be secured by any
collateral, right of offset or otherwise constitute a secured obligation of
Tenant. Tenant shall notify Landlord within five (5) Business Days after any
change in the long term credit rating of Tenant by either S&P or Moody's. If
either Moody's or S&P changes its system or manner of designating or classifying
its senior unsecured long term credit ratings, the rating designation or
classification that most closely describes or resembles the relevant ratings
designation set forth in this Paragraph 44 shall be used for purposes hereof.
(c) If the issuing bank of any Letter of Credit sends a Non-Renewal Notice
and
-39-
Tenant does not deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit conforming in
all respects to the requirements of this Paragraph 44 by the earlier of ten (10)
days after the issuing bank sends such Non-Renewal Notice or the date two (2)
Business Days prior to the expiry date of the Letter of Credit that is the
subject of the Non-Renewal Notice ("ACCELERATED RENT EVENT"), then Landlord
shall have the right to draw upon the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord;
provided, however, any such amount paid to Landlord by the issuer of the Letter
of Credit shall not exceed the sum of (A) three (3) months of Basic Rent for the
immediately subsequent three (3) month period, plus (B) three (3) months of
Taxes, premiums for Required Insurance, maintenance costs and other recurring
items of Additional Rent, as reasonably estimated by Landlord for the
immediately subsequent three (3) month period (collectively, the "ACCELERATED
RENT"). If the amount paid to Landlord by the issuer of the Letter of Credit is
less than the amount necessary to fully fund the Accelerated Rent to the
required balance, then Tenant shall, within five (5) business days after the
Accelerated Rent Event, deposit with Landlord a cash sum necessary to fully fund
the Accelerated Rent to the required balance. Landlord shall have no obligation
to invest the Accelerated Rent and Tenant will not receive any benefit with
respect to any interest or other investment income associated therewith. During
the period of time that an Accelerated Rent Event continues, Tenant shall
receive a credit against monthly payments of Basic Rent equal to the quotient of
the Accelerated Rent divided by the number of months remaining in the Term when
the Accelerated Rent Event occurs. In the event that a replacement Letter of
Credit which complies with the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 44 is
provided to Landlord by Tenant, Tenant shall receive a credit against subsequent
monthly payments of Basic Rent in the amount of the Basic Rent, on a dollar per
dollar basis, until such time as the balance of the Accelerated Rent is fully
expended; provided, however, if an Accelerated Rent Event subsequently occurs,
Landlord shall have the right to draw upon the replacement Letter of Credit then
held by Landlord in an amount necessary to restore the required balance of
Accelerated Rent and, if the proceeds of the replacement Letter of Credit then
held by Landlord are not enough to restore the required balance of the
Accelerated Rent, then Tenant shall, within five (5) Business Days after the
occurrence of such an Accelerated Rent Event, pay to Landlord an amount
necessary to restore the Accelerated Rent to the required balance. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant (and the expiration of any
applicable notice and cure period), Landlord may, without prejudice to any other
remedy provided herein or by applicable law and without further notice to
Tenant, apply the Accelerated Rent to the extent necessary to cure any arrears
of Rent or other payments due to Landlord as a result of such Event of Default
as provided herein, and in such event Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a cash
sum in the amount of the Accelerated Rent so expended by Landlord. Any balance
of the Accelerated Rent remaining upon the expiration or termination of this
Lease shall be promptly refunded to Tenant provided all of Tenant's obligations
under this Lease have been fulfilled.
(d) Upon any transfer or assignment of this Lease by Landlord (including
to any Mortgagee as security), Landlord shall have the right to transfer or
assign the Letter of Credit or the Accelerated Rent to the transferee or
assignee of the Lease, and in the event of such transfer and assignment, Tenant
shall look solely to such transferee or assignee for the return of the Letter of
Credit or the Accelerate Rent provided that such transferee or assignee
expressly assumes the obligations of Landlord under this Paragraph 44 arising
from and after the date of the transfer or assignment. Tenant shall, within ten
(10) days after request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or
assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm
-40-
Landlord's transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit or the Accelerated
Rent to such transferee or mortgagee, including (without limitation) an
endorsement to or a replacement of any then existing Letter of Credit naming the
transferee or assignee as the beneficiary thereof and otherwise in conformity
with the provisions of this Paragraph 44.
45. WAIVER OF LANDLORD LIENS. Landlord waives all constitutional,
statutory and contractual landlords' liens against any of Tenant's personal
property located at the Premises.

payable during last year of Extended Term 3.
The following provisions shall govern the determination of the Fair Market Basic
Rent during any applicable Extended Term:
(a) The term "FAIR MARKET BASIC RENT" as used herein shall mean the annual
Basic Rent (projected to the date of the commencement of, and payable throughout
the applicable Extended Term, without any periodic escalation) that Tenant would
expect to pay and Landlord would expect to receive under triple net leases
similar to this Lease for campus corporate headquarters of comparable size and
quality, and on other terms and conditions comparable to
-2-
this Lease, constituting premises similar to the Premises in comparable real
estate markets as the market in which the Premises are located and having
tenants with credit status comparable to Tenant's then credit status, adjusted
to fairly reflect the square footage of the Buildings and the size and quality
of the Improvements of the Premises compared to comparable premises.
(b) Within thirty (30) days of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's Extension
Notice, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a proposal containing Landlord's good
faith determination of the Fair Market Basic Rent for the Premises for the
applicable Extended Term. Within fifteen (15) days after Tenant's receipt of
Landlord's determination of the Fair Market Basic Rent, Tenant shall notify
Landlord, in writing, whether Tenant accepts or rejects the Fair Market Basic
Rent determined by Landlord. The failure of Tenant to so notify Landlord of such
acceptance or rejection shall be deemed an acceptance by Tenant of Landlord's
determination of the Fair Market Basic Rent. If Tenant rejects the Fair Market
Basic Rent as determined by Landlord, Tenant shall specify in its rejection
notice Tenant's good faith determination of the Fair Market Basic Rent for the
applicable Extended Term, together with its selection of a real estate
appraiser, who shall act on Tenant's behalf in determining the Fair Market Basic
Rent if Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the Fair Market Basic Rent within
the ensuing thirty (30) day period. For thirty (30) days after Landlord's
receipt of Tenant's determination of the Fair Market Basic Rent, Landlord and
Tenant shall negotiate in good faith (neither party acting arbitrarily or
capriciously) in an effort to reach agreement as to such Fair Market Basic Rent.
(c) If at the end of such thirty (30) day negotiation period, Landlord and
Tenant have not agreed on the amount of the Fair Market Basic Rent, Landlord,
within fifteen (15) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period, shall
designate, by written notice to Tenant, a real estate appraiser who shall act on
Landlord's behalf in the determination of the Fair Market Basic Rent. Within
thirty (30) days after the selection of Landlord's appraiser, the two appraisers
thus designated by Landlord and Tenant shall render a joint written
determination of the amount Fair Market Basic Rent, which if agreed upon by the
two appraisers shall be the Fair Market Basic Rent hereunder. If the two
appraisers are unable to agree upon a joint written determination within such
thirty (30) day period, each appraiser shall render his or her own written
determination and the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser within such
thirty (30) day period. If the two appraisers are unable to agree on the third
appraiser within such thirty (30) day period, then within five (5) days
thereafter, either Landlord or Tenant shall apply to the District Vice President
or comparable executive officer of the Dallas, Texas office of the American
Arbitration Association for the selection of a third appraiser, which third
appraiser shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after such application.
All appraisers selected in accordance herewith as Landlord's appraisers,
Tenant's appraiser or such third appraiser, as the case may be, shall be
independent third party appraisers that are unaffiliated with either Landlord or
Tenant or each other and have at least ten (10) years prior experience in the
metropolitan Dallas/Ft. Worth commercial office leasing market and shall be
members of one or more of the National Association of Industrial and Office
Properties, the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or similar
professional organizations. Landlord shall bear the fees and expenses of its
appraiser; Tenant shall bear the fees and expenses of its appraiser; and
Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the fees and expenses of the third
appraiser, if any.
-3-
(d) Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third appraiser, a
majority of the appraisers shall agree upon the Fair Market Basic Rent. If a
majority of the appraisers are unable to agree within the stipulated time, then
each appraiser shall render his separate appraisal within such time, and the
three appraisals shall be averaged in order to establish the Fair Market Basic
Rent; provided, however, if either the low appraisal or the high appraisal or
both are more than ten percent (10%) lower or higher than the middle appraisal
such lower or higher appraisal or appraisals shall be disregarded. If only one
appraisal is disregarded, the remaining two appraisals shall be averaged in
order to establish such Fair Market Basic Rent. If both the low appraisal and
the high appraisal are disregarded, the middle appraisal shall establish such
Fair Market Basic Rent.
(e) If the Fair Market Basic Rent has not been determined as provided in
prior to the commencement of the applicable Extended Term, Tenant shall pay the
then current Basic Rent for such prior Extended Term until such time as the Fair
Market Basic Rent shall have been established for the current Extended Term,
provided that such interim rental payments shall be adjusted by the parties, by
applicable cash payments from one party to another, to correct any underpayment
or overpayment within ten (10) days of the date on which the Fair Market Basic
Rent shall have been determined.

Landlord shall be in all respects bound by the Lease as Landlord and by all of
Tenant's rights thereunder. Successor Landlord's remedies pursuant to the Lease
will be in full force and
effect once Successor Landlord succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the
Lease and once Successor Landlord is bound by all of the terms and conditions of
the Lease.
3. So long as Successor Landlord shall be bound by the terms and
conditions of the Lease, Tenant shall attorn to Successor Landlord when
Successor Landlord is in possession of the Leased Premises, whether such
possession is pursuant to Mortgagee's rights under the Mortgage (which such
attornment shall be effective and self operative without the execution of any
further instrument on the part of any of the parties hereto), or otherwise, and
will continue occupancy of the Leased Premises under the same terms and
conditions of the Lease.
4. Mortgagee shall not include Tenant in any foreclosure proceeding
involving the Leased Premises, unless required by applicable state law for
Mortgagee to accomplish the foreclosure and then not to interfere with or
diminish Tenant's rights under the Lease or disturb Tenant's possession.
5. In the event that Successor Landlord succeeds to the interest of
Landlord under the Lease, Successor Landlord shall not be:
(a) Liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including
Landlord) or subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against
any prior landlord (including Landlord), except for any defaults or remedies of
which Tenant has notified Mortgagee prior to Successor Landlord becoming bound
by the Lease in accordance with paragraph 2. Successor Landlord will not be held
liable for any consequential damages for defaults of any prior Landlord; or
(b) Bound by any payment of any rent or additional rent which Tenant might
have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord (including
Landlord); or
(c) Bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made hereafter
without Mortgagee's written consent.
6. Tenant hereby agrees that upon receipt of written notice from Mortgagee
of a default by Landlord under the Mortgage, all checks for rent and other sums
payable by Tenant under the Lease to Landlord shall, from the date of Tenant's
receipt of such written notice, be delivered to and drawn to the exclusive order
of Mortgagee until Mortgagee or a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct
otherwise. Such an assignment of rent shall not relieve Landlord of any of its
obligations under the Lease and shall not modify or diminish any rights granted
to Tenant by the Lease or this Agreement. Landlord hereby consents and agrees to
the provisions of this paragraph and hereby authorizes Tenant to direct all
rental and other payments under the Lease as provided by this paragraph.
Landlord hereby relieves Tenant from any liability by reason of Tenant's payment
of any sums under the Lease as required by this paragraph. Tenant shall have no
obligation to verify the existence of any such default stated in the notice from
Mortgagee under this paragraph.
7. In the event Successor Landlord acquires title or right of possession
of the Leased Premises, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the liability of
such Successor Landlord under
-2-
the Lease shall be limited to its interest in the property described on Exhibit
"A" and the rents, income and profits therefrom. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, Tenant shall have all of its equitable remedies against
Successor Landlord. Nothing contained herein shall otherwise limit Tenant's
rights or remedies as provided in the Lease.
8. All notices under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been duly
given if made in writing and sent by United States certified or registered mail,
postage prepaid, or by overnight delivery service providing proof of receipt,

9. Tenant agrees that the right of first refusal shall not apply to
Successor Landlord through a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or any
other enforcement action under the Mortgage; provided, however, such right of
first refusal shall apply to subsequent purchasers of the Leased Premises. It is

party of the right, title, interest and estate of the other party in and to the
Leased Premises shall not result in termination or cancellation of the Lease by
operation of the principle of merger of estates or otherwise, notwithstanding
any applicable law to the contrary.

contained herein, the Owners hereby grant, establish, covenant and agree
that the Lots, and all Owners and Permittees of the Lots, shall be

Owners of the other Lots agree to cooperate in good faith with the Owner
of any Adjacent Lot being developed with respect to the relocation of any
portion of the Access Easement Area reasonably required for or beneficial
to the use and development of the Adjacent Lot being developed including,
but not limited to, joining in, and using its best efforts to cause any
mortgagee to join in and subordinate any mortgage then affecting such
other Lot to any new easement or any amendment to this Agreement, provided
such amended easement does not materially reduce the value of the other
Lots or adversely affect the current or future use and operation of the
buildings, structures, improvements and facilities located on Lot 1. All
costs associated with respect to the relocation of any easements
including, but not limited to, the construction of improvements associated
therewith, shall be borne by the Owner of the Adjacent Lot being

2.3 The Owner of each Lot shall, at the sole expense of such Owner,

3. Drainage Easement.

and establishes, and covenants and agrees that Lot 1 and the Owner of Lot
1 shall be benefited by, nonexclusive, perpetual easements for Utility
Lines under, through and across the Utility Easement Areas for the
installation, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of Utility
Lines (the "Utility Easements"; collectively, the Access Easement,
Drainage Easement and the Utility Easements may be referred to herein as
the "Easements", and each an "Easement"). The Utility Easements shall
include the right of reasonable ingress and egress with respect to the
Utility Easement Areas as may be required to maintain the same. Each
portion of the Utility Easement Areas shall be of a reasonable width, but
in any event at least twenty feet (20') in width, ten feet (10') on each
side of the centerline of the applicable Utility Line, as such Utility
Lines are currently located and depicted on Exhibits "E" and "F" attached
hereto.
4.2 The cost of maintaining, repairing and replacing the Separate Utility
Lines shall be borne solely by the Owner of the Lot serviced thereby. The
cost of maintaining, repairing and replacing Common Utility Lines ("Common
Utility Maintenance") shall be borne solely by the Owners served thereby
and all costs associated therewith shall be allocated among the Owners of
the Lots served thereby in proportion to the total land area of each Lot
served. Except in the case of emergencies, the Owner performing such
Common Utility Maintenance shall notify any other Owners of Lots served by
the affected Common Utility Lines of the need for such maintenance, repair
and replacement at least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of
any such work. The Owner performing such Common Utility Maintenance shall
bill the other obligated Owners for their proportionate share(s) of the
actual costs of such work, and each such Owner shall pay its bill within
thirty (30) days after receipt of the same. Bills shall be accompanied
with reasonable supporting information establishing the full amount of the
costs for Common Utility Maintenance and the billed Owner's proportionate
share.
4.3 Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date hereof, the Owner
of the Adjacent Lots shall, at its expense, cause to be prepared and
delivered to the Owner of Lot 1 a survey showing the actual location of
the Utility Lines and the associated Utility Easement Areas located on the
Lots and the Owners agree to execute and deliver any
-4-
amendment to this Agreement necessary or desirable to more precisely
describe or delineate the Utility Easement Areas.
4.4 All Utility Lines shall be installed and maintained below the ground
level or surface of the Utility Easement Areas except for surface
stormwater drainage facilities that by necessity must be located on the
surface of a Lot and ground mounted electrical transformers and such other
facilities necessary to be located above ground by the utility providing
such service. The operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of
Utility Lines (i) may be performed by the Owner of any Lot served thereby
(and in the case of any Common Utility Lines in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.2 above) and (ii) shall not unreasonably interfere
with the use or occupancy of any other Lot.
4.5 At any time and from time to time the Owner of a Lot shall have the
right to relocate on its Lot any Utility Line installed pursuant to the
Utility Easements which is then located on the Lot of such Owner, provided
that such relocation (i) shall be performed only after sixty (60) days'
written notice of the Owner's intention to undertake the relocation shall
have been given to the Owner of each other Lot served by the Utility Line,
(ii) shall not interfere with or diminish utility service to the Lot(s)
served by the Utility Line, (iii) shall not reduce or impair the
usefulness or function of the Utility Line, and (iv) shall be performed
without cost or expense to the Owner or occupant of any other Lot.
5. Indemnification. Each Owner having rights with respect to any Easement
shall indemnify and hold the Owner whose Lot is subject to the Easement
harmless from and against all claims, liabilities and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) relating to accidents, injuries, loss, or
damage of or to any person or property arising from the negligent,
intentional or willful acts or omissions of such indemnifying Owner, its
contractors, employees, agents, or others acting on behalf of such Owner.
6. Maintenance.
6.1 Until such time as improvements are constructed on a Lot, the Owner
thereof shall maintain such Lot in a clean and neat condition. Upon
construction of any buildings or other improvements upon a Lot, the Owner
of such Lot covenants to keep and maintain, at its sole cost and expense,
such buildings or other improvements located from time to time thereon in
good order, condition and repair.
6.2 Each Owner covenants at all times during the term hereof to operate
and maintain or cause to be operated and maintained at its expense all
Exterior Areas located on its Lot in good order, condition and repair.
Following the construction of improvements thereon, maintenance of
Exterior Areas shall include, without limitation, maintaining and
repairing all sidewalks and the surface of the parking and driveway areas,
maintaining appropriate lighting fixtures for the parking areas and
driveways, maintaining marking, directional signs, lines and striping as
needed, maintaining landscaping, maintaining signage in good condition and
repair, and performing any and all such other duties as are
-5-
necessary to maintain such Exterior Areas in a clean, safe and orderly
condition. Each Owner reserves the right to alter, modify, reconfigure,
relocate and/or remove the Exterior Areas or building areas on its Lot
provided that the Easements shall not be materially impaired.
6.3 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as affecting or limiting
RadioShack's obligations as tenant under the RadioShack Lease.
7. Construction of Improvements. All buildings, structures and other
improvements now or in the future constructed on the Lots shall be
constructed, operated and maintained so that the same are in compliance
with all applicable governmental requirements.
8. Restrictions Regarding Minerals Extraction. It is expressly agreed that
neither all nor any portion of the Lots shall be used to maintain any
structures, improvements, equipment or pipelines or to erect or install
any fixtures or facilities used or to be used in connection with the
exploration and/or removal of any oil, gas or other minerals either at the
surface of below the surface of any Lot. Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, such restrictions will not prohibit subterranean underground
directional drilling activities for the extraction of oil or natural gas
under any Lot that begin upon and are conducted from the surface of real
property other than the Lots provided that (i) such drilling activities at
all times are sufficiently below the surface of the Lots as to not
interfere with or disturb in any manner the present or future use to which
the Owners of the Lots or the Owner's successors and assigns may desire to
devote such Lots; provided, however, in no event shall the directional
drilling or sub-surface activities be at depths less than one thousand
(1,000) feet below the overlying surface of any Lot, (ii) no pooling
and/or directional drilling arrangement with other landowners shall permit
any above ground structures, improvements, equipment, pipelines, fixtures
or facilities to be erected, installed or maintained on any Lot and if any
such above ground structures, improvements, equipment, pipelines, fixtures
or facilities are erected, installed or maintained on any property within
six hundred (600) feet of the any property line of Lot 1 the same shall be
erected, installed and maintained in accordance with requirements no less
stringent than those for high impact gas well permits as set forth in
subsections (d) through (j) of Section 15-36.1 of the Code of the City of
Fort Worth, Texas in effect as of the date hereof (and regardless of
whether such provisions actually apply to the drilling operations and
activities actually being conducted); (iii) RadioShack, any other
applicable Owner of an Adjacent Lot or any holder of the right to extract
any oil or natural gas provides the Owner of any affected Lot copies of
any mineral leases or pooling agreements within thirty (30) days after
execution of the same, and all such mineral leases and pooling agreements
shall affirmatively provide that they are subject to the terms and
provisions of this Agreement. RadioShack hereby represents and warrants to
Kan Am that RadioShack has no present intentions or arrangements to
conduct any extraction of oil or natural gas from any Lot. At the request
of the Owner of Lot 1, each of RadioShack, any other Owner of any Adjacent
Lot and any holder of the mineral rights in and to any Lot hereby
covenants and agrees to keep the Owner of Lot 1 informed of any pooling
negotiations
-6-
concerning the extraction, or any intention to conduct activities to
extract, oil or natural gas from any Lot.
9. Insurance. Throughout the term of this Agreement, each Owner shall procure
and maintain general and/or comprehensive public liability and property
damage insurance against claims for personal injury (including contractual
liability arising under the indemnity contained in Section 5 above),
death, or property damage occurring upon such Owner's Lot. Such insurance
shall have a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence with a minimum $5,000,000 aggregate limit and excess umbrella
liability insurance in the amount of at least $10,000,000. Each Owner
shall be required to increase its insurance limits from time to time
consistent with coverage on properties similarly constructed, occupied and
maintained provided that any such increased coverage shall be obtainable
at commercially reasonable rates. In no event shall the limits of such
insurance be considered as limiting the liability of any Owner under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, during the term of
the RadioShack Lease, the insurance required to be carried by RadioShack
under the RadioShack Lease will be deemed to satisfy the obligations of
the Owner of Lot 1 under this Section 9.
10. Taxes and Assessments. Each Owner shall pay all taxes, assessments, or
charges of any type levied or made by any governmental body or agency with
respect to its Lot; provided, however, that for so long as the RadioShack
Lease is in effect, RadioShack shall pay such taxes, assessments and
charges levied with respect to Lot 1 in accordance with the provisions of
the RadioShack Lease.
11. Right of First Offer.
11.1 Subject to the provisions of this Section 11, the Owner of Lot 1
shall have a right of first offer as described in this Section 11 with
respect to any sale or transfer of any Adjacent Lot, or any portion
thereof or interest therein, to any person or entity. If the Owner of an
Adjacent Lot ("Selling Owner") intends to offer for sale the Adjacent Lot,
or any portion thereof or interest therein, to any party (other than in
connection with an Excluded Transaction, as hereinafter defined), the
Selling Owner shall deliver to the Owner of Lot 1 a written notice
(constituting an offer) stating the sales price and all other material
terms for the sale of the Adjacent Lot (or such interest) that the Selling
Owner would accept (the "First Offer"). The Owner of Lot 1 shall have
thirty (30) days (the "Acceptance Period") from its receipt of the First
Offer to accept, by written notice to Landlord, the First Offer. The
Selling Owner may not revoke the First Offer during the Acceptance Period.
If the Owner of Lot 1 accepts the First Offer, the Owner of Lot 1 must
enter into a purchase agreement with the Selling Owner for the purchase
and sale of the Adjacent Lot, or any portion thereof or interest therein,
by the later of (i) the expiration of the Acceptance Period or (ii)
fifteen (15) days after the Owner of Lot 1 has irrevocably accepted the
First Offer by written notice to Landlord as provided above. Such purchase
agreement shall provide for closing on the terms set forth in the First
Offer. The Selling Owner and the Owner of Lot 1 agree to negotiate any
purchase agreement in good faith. The failure of the Owner of Lot 1 to
accept the First Offer by
-7-
written notice to Landlord within the Acceptance Period as provided above
shall constitute rejection by the Owner of Lot 1 of the First Offer.
11.2 If the Owner of Lot 1 rejects the First Offer or fails to accept the
First Offer prior to the expiration of the Acceptance Period, the Selling
Owner may, subject to the terms hereof, offer the Adjacent Lot (or portion
thereof or interest therein) for sale to third parties at a price not less
than ninety-five percent (95%) of the price and on other economic terms
materially no more beneficial to the third party than those contained in
the First Offer; provided, however, that if the Selling Owner desires to
accept an offer from a third party (the "Offeree") at a price that is less
than ninety-five percent (95%) of the price (including in all cases debt
to be assumed) offered to the Owner of Lot 1, then the Selling Owner shall
be required to re-offer the Adjacent Lot (or portion thereof or interest
therein) to the Owner of Lot 1 at such reduced price (the "Revised First
Offer"), in which event the Owner of Lot 1 shall either accept or reject
the Revised First Offer, by written notice to the Selling Owner, within
seven (7) days after the date of its receipt of the Revised First Offer
(with the failure of the Owner of Lot 1 to accept the Revised First Offer
by written notice to Landlord within the such 7-day period being deemed to
be a rejection by the Owner of Lot 1 of the Revised First Offer). If the
Selling Owner desires to accept an offer from any Offeree for a price that
is ninety-five percent (95%) or more of the price offered to the Owner of
Lot 1 (or a lower price if the Owner of Lot 1 rejects any Revised First
Offer), the Selling Owner may enter into a bona fide agreement to sell,
assign or otherwise transfer the Adjacent Lot (or such portion thereof or
interest therein) to the Offeree no later than two hundred seventy (270)
days after the end of the Acceptance Period and may close such sale,
assignment or other transfer no later than three hundred sixty-five (365)
days after the end of the Acceptance Period. Absent the execution and
delivery of such bona fide agreement to sell, assign or otherwise transfer
within such 270-day period and the closing of the sale, assignment or
transfer within such 365-day period, the Selling Owner shall be required
to repeat the procedure set forth in this Section 11 if it still desires
to sell the Adjacent Lot or such portion thereof or interest therein.
11.3 In the event that the Selling Owner shall receive an unsolicited Bona
Fide Offer (as defined below) to purchase the Adjacent Lot or any portion
thereof or interest therein at any time and from time to time during the
term of this Agreement from any person or entity, the Selling Owner shall
so notify the Owner of Lot 1 together with a true and correct copy of said
Bona Fide Offer. For purposes hereof, a "Bona Fide Offer" shall be deemed
to be one made in writing by a person or entity in connection with a
transaction that is not an Excluded Transaction which the Selling Owner
desires to accept (subject to this Section 11). In submitting the Bona
Fide Offer to the Owner of Lot 1, the Selling Owner shall segregate the
price and the terms of the offer for the Adjacent Lot from the price and
other terms connected with any additional property or properties that such
person or entity is offering to purchase from the Selling Owner. The Owner
of Lot 1 may, at the Owner of Lot 1's option and within thirty (30) days
after receipt of the Selling Owner's notice of said Bona Fide Offer and
receipt of a copy thereof, offer to purchase the Adjacent Lot at the price
and upon the terms and conditions as are contained in said Bona Fide
Offer, in which event, the Selling Owner shall sell the Adjacent Lot to
the
-8-
Owner of Lot 1, and the Owner of Lot 1 shall purchase the Adjacent Lot
from the applicable Owner of the Adjacent Lot, upon said terms and
conditions and said price. If the Owner of Lot 1 fails to respond to the
Selling Owner's notice of said Bona Fide Offer within said thirty (30) day
time period, the Owner of Lot 1 shall be deemed to have waived its right
of first refusal contained in this Section 11.3, but only as to the
transaction contemplated in the Bona Fide Offer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the price that the Owner of Lot 1 shall pay for the Adjacent
Lot shall be reduced by an amount equal to broker's fees or commissions
that would have been payable by the Selling Owner if the Adjacent Lot were
sold pursuant to a Bona Fide Offer, except to the extent that the Selling
Owner is otherwise obligated to pay such fees or commissions to an
unaffiliated third party upon the sale of the Adjacent Lot to the Owner of
Lot 1 pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.3. The Selling Owner
shall provide the Owner of Lot 1 evidence of the amount of broker's fees
or commissions payable in connection with any such Bona Fide Offer.
11.4 The Selling Owner covenants that it shall not convey all or any
portion of any Adjacent Lot until it has complied with the terms of this
Section 11; provided, however, that after the initial conveyance by the
Selling Owner of any portion of an Adjacent Lot to any third party in
connection with a transaction that is not an Excluded Transaction in
compliance with the provisions of this Section 11 (whether pursuant to the
provisions of Section 11. 1, Section 11.2 or Section 11.3), the provisions
of this Section 11 shall be void and of no force and effect and shall no
longer apply to any subsequent transfer or sale of such portion of the
Adjacent Lot by the Owner thereof, unless any such initial conveyance
occurs on or before the third (3rd) anniversary of the date hereof, in
which event compliance by the Selling Owner with the terms of this Section
11 shall be required for the immediately succeeding conveyance by the
Selling Owner to any third party in connection with a transaction that is
not an Excluded Transaction but not in connection with any subsequent
conveyance or transaction by the Selling Owner thereafter, and, after such
immediately succeeding transaction, the provisions of this Section 11
shall be void and of no further force and effect and shall no longer apply
to any subsequent transfer or sale of the Adjacent Lot by the Owner
thereof. Upon request by the Selling Owner, in connection with any such
initial conveyance or other transaction for which the Owner of Lot 1 has
or is deemed to have rejected or waived its rights pursuant to the
provisions of Section 11.1, Section 11.2 or Section 11.3 above, the Owner
of Lot 1, within five (5) days after notice from Landlord, shall execute
and deliver an instrument, in recordable form and otherwise in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, evidencing such rejection
or waiver and confirming that the Owner of Lot 1 has no rights whatsoever
with respect to such conveyance or other transaction, and in addition, if
requested by the Selling Owner, the Owner of Lot 1 shall execute and
deliver an amendment to this Agreement acknowledging that the rights of
the Owner of Lot 1 in this Section 11 are no longer in effect, and
deleting this provisions of this Section 11 from this Agreement, as they
relate to the Adjacent Lot or portion thereof or interest therein to which
such rejection or waiver applies. The Owner of Lot 1 may enforce this
Section 11, without limitation, by injunction, specific performance or
other equitable relief. The terms and
-9-
conditions contained in this Section 11 shall be binding upon the heirs,
successors and assigns of the Owners.
11.5 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11 to the contrary, the
provisions of this Section 11 shall not apply to, and the Owner of an
Adjacent Lot shall have no obligation to comply with the provisions of
this Section 11 in connection with any of the following (each an "Excluded
Transaction"): (i) any transfer, assignment or conveyance of all or any
portion of an Adjacent Lot to an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined); (ii)
any transaction involving a sale, disposition, assignment, transfer,
consolidation, merger, reorganization, recapitalization or other
restructuring of RadioShack; or (iii) any sale, transfer or conveyance of
the interest of an Owner of an Adjacent Lot in such Adjacent Lot in
connection with the foreclosure of any mortgage or deed of trust whether
by judicial or non-judicial sale, or any deed or assignment in lieu of
foreclosure. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Section 11 to
the contrary, the terms and provisions of this Section 11 shall not apply
to, and the rights of the Owner of Lot 1 under this Section 11 shall be
deemed permanently extinguished and of no further force and effect after,
any sale, ground lease or other transfer of the Adjacent Lots (or any
portion thereof or interest therein) that is associated with the Trinity
River Vision project contemplated by the City of Fort Worth, Texas or
other applicable governmental authority other than any such sale, ground
lease or other transfer of the Adjacent Lots (or any portion thereof or
interest therein) on which there is then located or proposed to be
developed or constructed (A) any "stand alone" office building or (B) any
other improvements or facilities owned or leased by RadioShack or any of
its Affiliates. Each of RadioShack and any other Owner of any Adjacent Lot
hereby agrees to keep the Owner of Lot 1 informed of any material
discussions or negotiations by such parties pertaining to, or contemplated
development associated with, the Trinity River Project. As used in this
Section 11, "Affiliate" means any entity that is controlled by or under
common control with RadioShack or in which not less than a twenty percent
(20%) direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest is owned by
RadioShack.
12. Use Restrictions. None of the Lots nor any portions thereof shall be used
(i) in violation of any applicable legal requirements of governmental
authorities with respect to the use of or any activities conducted on such
Lot or any portion thereof, or (ii) for any other use not compatible with
the operation of retail and Class A commercial facilities. Without
limiting the generality of the provisions of the immediately preceding
sentence, the following uses shall not be permitted within any Lot (unless
otherwise indicated below):
(a) Any use which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which emits

FORM T-7 CA Commitment for Title Insurance (04-04-02)
TEXAS TITLE INSURANCE INFORMATION
Title insurance insures you against loss resulting from certain risks to your
title.
The Commitment for Title Insurance is the title insurance company's promise to
issue the title insurance policy. The Commitment is a legal document. You should
review it carefully to completely understand it before your closing date.
El seguro de titulo le asegura en relacion a perdidas resultantes de ciertos
riesgos que pueden afectar el titulo de su propiedad.
El Compromiso para Seguro de Titulo es la promesa de la companla aseguradora de
titulos de emitir la poliza de seguro de titulo. El Compromiso es un documento
legal. Usted debe leerlo cuidadosamente y entenderlo completamente antes de la
fecha para finalizar su transaccion.
Your Commitment for Title Insurance is a legal contract between you and us. The
Commitment is not an opinion or report of your title. It is a contract to issue
you a policy subject to the Commitment's terms and requirements.
Before issuing a Commitment for Title Insurance (the Commitment) or a Title
Insurance Policy (the Policy), the Title Insurance Company (the Company)
determines whether the title is insurable. This determination has already been
made Part of that determination involves the Company's decision to insure the
title except for certain risks that will not be covered by the Policy. Some of
these risks are listed in Schedule B of the attached Commitment as Exceptions.
Other risks are stated in the Policy as Exclusions. These risks will not be
covered by the Policy.
Another part of the determination involves whether the promise to insure is
conditioned upon certain requirements being met. Schedule C of the Commitment
lists these requirements that must be satisfied or the Company will refuse to
cover them. You may want to discuss any matters shown in Schedules B and C of
the Commitment with an attorney. These matters will affect your title and your
use of the land.
When your Policy is issued, the coverage will be limited by the Policy's
Exceptions, Exclusions and Conditions, defined below.
-- EXCEPTIONS are title risks that a Policy generally covers but does not
cover in a particular instance. Exceptions are shown on Schedule B or
discussed in Schedule C of the Commitment. They can also be added if you
do not comply with the Requirements section of the Commitment. When the
Policy is issued, all Exceptions will be on Schedule B of the Policy.
-- EXCLUSIONS are title risks that a Policy generally does not cover.
Exclusions are contained in the Policy but not shown or discussed in the
Commitment.
-- CONDITIONS are additional provisions that qualify or limit your
coverage. Conditions include your responsibilities and those of the
Company. They are contained in the Policy but not shown or discussed in
the Commitment. The Policy Conditions are not the same as the Commitment
Conditions.
You can get a copy of the policy form approved by the State Board of Insurance
by calling the Title Insurance Company at 1-800-347-7826 or by calling the title
insurance agent that issued the Commitment. The State Board of Insurance may
revise the policy form from time to time.
You can also get a brochure that explains the policy from the Texas Department
of Insurance by calling 1-800-252-3439.
Before the Policy is issued, you may request changes in the policy. Some of the
changes to consider are:
-- Request amendment of the "area and boundary" exception (Schedule B,
paragraph 2). To get this amendment, you must furnish a survey and comply
with other requirements of the Company. On the Owner Policy, you must pay
an additional premium for the amendment. If the survey is acceptable to
the Company and if the Company's other requirements are met, your Policy
will insure you against loss because of discrepancies or conflicts in
boundary lines, encroachments or protrusions, or overlapping of
improvements. The Company may then decide not to insure against specific
boundary or survey problems by making special exceptions in the Policy.
Whether or not you request amendment of the "area and boundary" exception,
you should determine whether you want to purchase and review a survey if a
survey is not being provided to you.
-- Allow the Company to add an exception to "rights of parties in
possession." If you refuse this exception, the Company or the title
insurance agent may inspect the property. The Company may except to and
not insure you against the rights of specific persons, such as renters,
adverse owners or easement holders who occupy the land. The Company may
charge you for the inspection. If you want to make your own inspection,
you must sign a Waiver of Inspection form and allow the Company to add
this exception to your Policy.
The entire premium for a Policy must be paid when the Policy is issued. You will
not owe any additional premiums unless you want to increase your coverage at a
later date and the Company agrees to add an Increased Value Endorsement.

POLICY NO. 05R21235
DELETION OF ARBITRATION PROVISION
(Not applicable to the Texas Residential Owner Policy)
ARBITRATION is a common form of alternative dispute resolution. It can be a
quicker and cheaper means to settle a dispute with your Title Insurance Company.
However, if you agree to arbitrate, you give up your right to take the Title
Company to court and your rights to discovery of evidence may be limited in the
arbitration process. In addition, you cannot usually appeal an arbitrator's
award.
YOUR POLICY CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION PROVISION (SHOWN BELOW). IT ALLOWS YOU OR
THE COMPANY TO REQUIRE ARBITRATION IF THE AMOUNT OF INSURANCE IS $1,000,000 OR
LESS. IF YOU WANT TO RETAIN YOUR RIGHT TO SUE THE COMPANY IN CASE OF A DISPUTE
OVER A CLAIM, YOU MUST REQUEST DELETION OF THE ARBITRATION PROVISION BEFORE THE
POLICY IS ISSUED. YOU CAN DO THIS BY SIGNING THIS FORM AND RETURNING IT TO THE
COMPANY AT OR BEFORE THE CLOSING OF YOUR REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION OR BY WRITING
TO THE COMPANY.
The arbitration provision in the Policy is as follows:
"Unless prohibited by applicable law or unless this arbitration section is
deleted by specific provision in Schedule B of this policy, either the
Company or the Insured may demand arbitration pursuant to the Title
Insurance Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
Arbitrable matters may include, but are not limited to, any controversy or
claim between the Company and the Insured arising out of or relating to
this Policy, and service of the Company in connection with its issuance or
the breach of a policy provision or other obligation. All arbitrable
matters when the Amount of Insurance is $1,000,000 or less SHALL BE
arbitrated at the request of either the Company or the Insured, unless the
Insured is an individual person (as distinguished from a corporation,
trust, partnership, association or other legal entity). All arbitrable
matters when the Amount of Insurance is in excess of $1,000,000 shall be
arbitrated only when agreed to by both the Company and the Insured.
Arbitration pursuant to this Policy and under the Rules in effect on the
date the demand for arbitration is made or, at the option of the Insured,
the Rules in effect at the Date of Policy shall be binding upon the
parties. The award may include attorneys' fees only if the laws of the
state in which the land is located permit a court to award attorneys' fees
to a prevailing party. Judgment upon the award rendered by the
Arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
The Law of the situs of the land shall apply to any arbitration under the
Title Insurance Arbitration Rules.
A copy of the Rules may be obtained from the Company upon request."
I request deletion of the Arbitration provision.

Gentlemen and Ladies:
This letter confirms our agreement that at any time on or before March 31,

the Landlord will work together in good faith with the Tenant to develop an
alternative arrangement with respect to the subject matter of any applicable
Letter of Credit Provision (and to amend the Lease in accordance therewith)
provided that such alternative arrangement does not, in Landlord's sole
discretion, diminish or impair the security or the economic protections afforded
to the Landlord by the Letter of Credit Provisions in the Lease.
Further, the Tenant agrees that it will pay or reimburse to the Landlord
all fees and expenses payable to the Landlord's attorneys, accountants and other
professionals and consultants for their services rendered to the Landlord after
