If the reasonably estimated cost to repair such damage exceeds fifty (50%) percent of the replacement cost of the Building, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant. If the Repair Period is determined to be longer than one hundred eighty (180) days or if Landlord fails to deliver such statement within sixty (60) days, after the date of the damage, and Tenant determines in its 12 15 reasonable business judgment that such damage will prevent Tenant from carrying on its normal business operations for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days or more, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord. Upon such termination, Tenants shall be afforded a reasonable amount of time and reasonable opportunity to remove its personality from the Premises, and Tenant's obligations hereunder, including the obligation to pay the Rent, shall cease as of the date of termination, provided however, that the Rent shall abate equitably from the date of the damage.

(c) If Landlord undertakes but fails to repair and restore the Building, the Premises, and the Appurtenances as required by this Section 9 within the time period estimated by Landlord's contractor (which time period shall be extended one day for each day of delay due to Tenant), Tenant may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days notice to Landlord, provided further, however, that if Landlord is prevented from completing the repair and restoration within said period due to causes beyond Landlord's control, including labor disputes, civil commotion, hostilities, sabotage, weather delays, governmental regulations or controls (collectively, "Force Majeure Events"), Landlord shall have an additional period of sixty (60) days to repair or restore. Anything in the foregoing which may be to the contrary notwithstanding, Force Majeure Events shall not include shortage of funds (whether due to the insufficiency of insurance proceeds or otherwise), nor inability to obtain financing nor inability to obtain materials, labor or services due to Landlord's failure to provide for such matters in a timely manner. Upon such termination, Tenant's obligations hereunder, including the obligation to pay the Rent, shall cease as of the 13 16 expiration of such notice period. Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of the damage and all prepaid Rent shall be repaid to Tenant. (d) Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, if the damage by fire or other casualty occurs within the last year of the Term (as may be extended by the provisions of this Lease), then if the Repair Period is such that the balance of the Term after such Repair Period is less than one hundred eighty (180) days, then either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to the other, except that Tenant may nullify Landlord's election by exercising an available option to extend the term of this Lease within thirty (30) days of Landlord's notice to terminate. Upon such termination, Tenant shall be afforded a reasonable amount of time and reasonable opportunity to remove its personality from the Premises, and Tenant's obligations hereunder, including the obligation to pay the Rent, shall cease as of the date of termination, provided however, that the Rent shall abate equitably from the date of the damage. 10. Insurance and Indemnity (a) Landlord shall, from and after the date hereof, maintain insurance policies covering the Building, (including Rental Interruption coverage) the Appurtenances and anything that is, or by operation of this Lease becomes Landlord's property against loss, damage, or destruction caused by boiler explosion or machinery breakdown, fire and the perils specified in the standard extended coverage endorsement, by vandalism and malicious mischief, and by sprinkler, gas, water, steam, glass breakage and sewer leakage, and shall also maintain when appropriate builder's risk insurance.

(iii) Business interruption insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or assumed by Tenant pursuant to this Lease. (iv) automobile insurance covering owned, non-owned and hired vehicles in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 combined single limit. (d) All policies of insurance which Tenant is obligated to maintain according to this Lease (other than any policy of workman's compensation insurance) will name Landlord and Landlord's lenders of which Landlord shall notify Tenant from time to time, as additional insureds, but only as their interest may appear. Certificates of Insurance which evidence Tenant's insurance and evidence of the payment of all premiums of such policies will be delivered to Landlord prior to Tenant's occupancy of the Premises and from time to time at Landlord's request made not more often than once per Lease Year. All such policies maintained by Tenant will provide that they may not be terminated or amended except after 30 day's prior notice to Landlord. All commercial general liability, and personal property maintained by Tenant will be written as primary policies, not contributing with and supplemental to the coverage that Landlord may carry. Insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under subsections (c) (i) hereof may be subject to a deductible of up to $100,000.00. 15 18 (e) Landlord and Tenant each waive any and all rights to recover against the other, or against the officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, joint venturers, employees, agents, for any loss or damage to such waiving party arising from perils covered by property insurance and required to be carried by such party to the extent of the limits of such policy. Landlord and Tenant shall cause their respective insurers to issue appropriate waivers of subrogation rights endorsements to all such property policies of insurance. Tenant agrees to cause all other occupants of the Premises by, under or through Tenant to execute and deliver to Landlord such a waiver of subrogation rights endorsement. (f) Tenant shall not do anything in or about the Premises which would cause an increase in the insurance rates above the rate in effect for Tenant's lawful use of the Premises as general office use for any policies of insurance carried by Landlord covering the Building or the Premises. If, as the result of any failure by Tenant to comply with the terms of this Section 10(f), the insurance rates applicable to any policy of insurance carried by Landlord covering the Building or the Premises shall be increased, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as additional rent, within 30 days after Landlord's demand therefor, the increment in cost of the premiums for such insurance above the cost which Landlord would have paid absent Tenant's actions due solely to Tenant's actions. This additional rent shall be computed exclusive of the computation in Rider 1, and the liability hereunder, shall accrue notwithstanding Rider 1. A schedule or rule book issued by the Insurance Services Office, Inc. or any other comparable insurance rating organization, or the rating procedures or rules of Landlord's insurance companies shall be evidence of any items and charges which make up the insurance rates and premiums for the Premises and the Building. Landlord agrees that Tenant's use of the Premises for the uses set forth in this Lease shall not subject Tenant to any obligation for payment of increased insurance rates pursuant to this Section. (g) Tenant indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold harmless Landlord and its agents, licensees, employees and contractors from all claims or losses (other than those for which liability is waived by express provision in this Lease) resulting from any injury in or upon the Land or Building to property or persons due to any negligence or intentional or willful acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, licensees, employees or contractors, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Landlord indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold harmless Tenant and its agents, licensees, employees and contractors from all claims and 16 19 losses (other than those for which liability is waived by express provision in this Lease) resulting from any injury in or upon the Land or the Building to property or persons due to any negligence intentional or willful acts or omissions of Landlord, its agents, licensees, employees or contractors, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Neither party's indemnification of the other party as provided in this Section 10 shall be applicable with respect to claims resulting in whole or in part from the willful acts or omissions or the breach of this Lease by the other party, or acts or omissions for which a party is strictly liable, nor shall either party in any event be liable to the other for indirect or consequential damages. 11. Condemnation (a) If all of the Land, the Building, the Premises or the, Parking Area, Appurtenances shall be condemned for public use, whether such use be temporary or otherwise, or damaged by any public use, including damage resulting from the alteration of the location or grade of any street or public way, or voluntarily transferred to a public or quasi-public body in lieu of condemnation (any of which occurrences is hereafter referred to as a "taking"), this Lease shall terminate as of the date of taking and the Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination. If a portion of the Building, the Premises or the Appurtenances shall be taken, and if Tenant determines, in its reasonable business judgment, that the taking will prevent Tenant from carrying on its normal business operations for a period of ninety (90) days or more, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord. Upon such termination, Tenant's obligations hereunder, including the obligation to pay the Rent, shall cease as of the date of taking. (b) If Tenant shall not terminate this Lease: (i) the Rent shall abate for the period the Premises are untenantable, and, thereafter, Tenant shall pay the Rent for only such portion of the Premises which Tenant, in its reasonable business judgment, determines it may occupy; and, (ii) all repairs necessary to restore the Building, the Premises and the Appurtenances as nearly as possible to their original condition shall be : (A) commenced within sixty (60) days after the actual taking; (B) performed in a reasonably diligent and workmanlike manner with material of at least similar or equivalent quality as that originally utilized in the construction of the Building, the Premises and the Appurtenances; and, (C) completed by Landlord at its expense using reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant's normal business operations. 17 20 (c) If Landlord undertakes but fails to repair and restore the Building, the Premises, and the Appurtenances as required by this Section 11 within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the taking (which 180-day period shall be extended one day for each day of delay due to Tenant), and if Tenant determines, in its reasonable business judgment, that such failure will prevent Tenant from carrying on its normal business operations for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days or more from the date of the taking, then Tenant may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days notice to Landlord. Upon such termination, Tenant's obligations hereunder, including the obligation to pay the Rent, shall cease as of the expiration of such notice period. Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of the taking and all prepaid Rent shall be repaid to Tenant. (d) Tenant shall not be entitled to any portion of Landlord's award or settlement resulting from the taking of its fee interest, provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed in any way to restrict or limit Tenant from asserting a claim for any damages resulting from the taking of its leasehold or any moving expenses, or otherwise permitted by law. 12. Default (a) If Tenant shall default in the payment of the Rent and additional rent and such default shall continue for ten (10) days after notice therefor from Landlord or if Tenant shall default in the performance of any of its other obligations under this Lease and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord specifying Tenant's default (except that if such default cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, this period shall be extended for a reasonable additional time, provided that Tenant commences to cure such default within the thirty-day (30 day) period and proceeds diligently thereafter to effect such cure) or if Tenant shall be adjudged bankrupt or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver of any property of Tenant in or upon the Premises shall be appointed in any action, suit or proceeding by or against Tenant and is not removed within thirty (30) days after appointment, then, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving Tenant notice of such election to terminate. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant: (i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus 18 21 (ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (iv) At Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under the Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, costs to repair, remodel, and relet Premises. (Such as brokerage fees, legal fees, etc.) Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages in the event of Tenant's default. As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the Default Interest Rate. As used in subparagraph (iii) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City at the time of award plus one percent (1%) (the "Discount Rate"). (b) If Landlord shall default in the performance of any of its obligations, agreements or covenants under this Lease, and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant specifying Landlord's default (except that if such default cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, this period shall be extended for a reasonable additional time, provided that Landlord commences to cure such default within the thirty (30) day period and proceeds diligently thereafter to effect such cure), then, in addition to other remedies available to Tenant at law or in equity, Tenant may, without prejudice to any of its other rights under this Lease or without waiving any claim for damages for such breach: (1) withhold payment of the Rent due and to accrue hereunder (to the extent necessary to cover the costs reasonably estimated by Tenant to cure such default) so long as Landlord remains in default, subject to the arbitration provisions in Section 26 if Landlord disputes such default or the cost to cure such default; (2) proceed judicially or otherwise, either at law or in equity, to enforce any rights and remedies which Tenant may have under this Lease or at law; or (3) to cure such default for the account of Landlord and any amount paid or any contractual liability incurred by Tenant in so doing may 19 22 be, subject to the arbitration provisions of Section 26 if Landlord disputes such default or the cost to cure such default, deducted by Tenant from the next or any succeeding payment of the Rent due hereunder. Tenant shall act reasonably in curing such default and in incurring costs to effect such cure. Tenant may correct such default prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period upon giving notice to Landlord that the curing of such default prior to the expiration of such will materially interfere with Tenant's operations in the Building. 13. Holdover Any holding over after the expiration of the Term or extensions thereof, shall be deemed and construed to be a tenancy from month to month and shall not be construed to be a renewal and extension of the Lease, and shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified so far as applicable. The Fixed Rent payable during the holding over shall be equal to one hundred fifty (150%) of the Fixed Rent paid for the last full month of the Term. In addition, the Tenant shall hold the Landlord harmless from any and all actual damages to new tenant resulting from Tenant's holdover. 14. Assignment and Subletting Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises in whole or in part at any time during the Term with the prior written consent of Landlord given in accordance with Section 22, Notices, of this Lease which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In such event, Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof and shall remain primarily liable for the faithful performance of all of the covenants, terms and conditions hereof on Tenant's part to be performed. Landlord agrees that if Tenant assigns this Lease and the assignee defaults and fails to cure such default within the applicable grace period, Tenant shall have the right to recover possession of the Premises by curing the assignee's default within a reasonable time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, without Landlord's consent, assign or sublet the Premises to any company controlled by, in control of, or under common control with Tenant or to a transferree by reason of the merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all the assets of Tenant. In such event, Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof and shall remain responsible for the faithful performance of all of the covenants, terms and conditions hereof on Tenant's part to be performed. In the event Tenant assigns or sublets the Premises with Landlord's consent to other than a company controlled by, in control of, or under common control with Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any rent or additional rent received by Tenant in excess of the Fixed Rent, additional 20 23 rent, costs of subletting or assigning this Lease (amortized with interest at the Prime Rate as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal) or any other sum payable under this Lease (the "Excess Rent"). 15. Quiet Enjoyment So long as Tenant is not in default beyond the applicable grace periods in the payment of the Rent or in the performance of any other covenant or agreement herein contained, Landlord covenants that Tenant may peaceably and quietly have, hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises. 16. Subordination Tenant agrees that this Lease and its interest in the Premises may, at Landlord's option, be made subordinate to any mortgages or underlying leases now or hereafter covering the Premises, provided, however, that such subordination shall be contingent upon Tenant's receipt of a non-disturbance agreement in form reasonably acceptable to it, providing that so long as Tenant shall not be in default under the Lease beyond the applicable grace periods, Tenant shall not be disturbed in its occupancy of the Premises and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. The form of the Non-Disturbance Agreement shall be substantially the same as the attached Exhibit E. 17. Rules and Regulations Tenant shall abide by and observe the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit D, as well as such other reasonable rules and regulations as may be promulgated from time to time by Landlord, provided the same are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease, and apply uniformly to all tenants and occupants of the Building, and provided further that a copy thereof is received by Tenant. 18. Estoppel Certificate Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) business days prior notice from Landlord, deliver to Landlord a statement in writing (a) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and to Tenant's knowledge, in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications); (b) stating the dates to which the Rent has been paid by Tenant; (c) stating whether or not Tenant has knowledge that Landlord is in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease, and, if Tenant has knowledge of such a default, specifying each such default; (d) stating the address to which notices to Tenant shall be 21 24 sent and (e) such other statements of facts as shall be reasonably required concerning this Lease or Tenant's tenancy hereunder, which statement shall be to the best of Tenant's knowledge. Landlord shall, at any time and from time to time upon not less than fifteen (15) business days prior notice from Tenant, deliver to Tenant an estoppel certificate, in substance and form similar to that described above, relative to the status of this Lease and any ground lease, underlying lease or mortgage encumbering the Building or Land. 19. Signage; Change of Name Tenant shall not place or cause to be placed on the outside of the Building, inside the common areas of the Building, or on the Land, any signs, notices or other media of advertising, unless approved by Landlord. 20. Mechanics' Liens Tenant shall discharge by payment, bond or otherwise, mechanics' liens filed against the Building for work, labor, services or materials claimed to have been performed at or furnished to the Premises for or on behalf of Tenant, except when the mechanics' liens are filed by a contractor, subcontractor, materialman or laborer of Landlord, in which event Landlord shall discharge the liens by payment, bond or otherwise. If, however, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing that Tenant refuses to pay any such claim and desires to contest the same, unless required by notice to Tenant from the holder of a first mortgage on the Building, Tenant shall not be required to discharge such lien but shall diligently prosecute the contest thereof to final judgment and decision, and shall pay any judgment that may be rendered on account thereof, and shall cause said property to be freed and discharged from any lien or charge adjudged against the same; provided, however, in no event shall the time to discharge settlement extend beyond the Term or extensions as provided herein. 21.

Operating expenses shall not include expenses for any capital improvements or capital items or the replacement of a capital item or of a major component of a capital item or major repairs to a capital item in lieu of replacement; the cost of rental equipment used regularly for the repair and maintenance of the Building that is customarily owned by landlords of Class A office 31 34 buildings (which, when purchased, would be a capital equipment item); depreciation; expenses for which Landlord is entitled to be reimbursed or indemnified (either by an insurer, condemnor, tenant, contractor who is obligated under any warranty or guaranty, or otherwise); expenses incurred in leasing or procuring tenants (including lease commissions, advertising expenses and expenses of renovating space for tenants); legal expenses arising out of the construction, operation, use, leasing, occupation or maintenance of the Building or Land or the enforcement of the provisions of any agreements affecting the Land or the Building; interest or amortization payments on any mortgage or mortgages, and rental under any ground or underlying lease or leases; wages, salaries or other compensation paid to any executive employees above the grade of building manager; wages, salaries or other compensation paid for clerks or attendants in concessions or newsstands operated by Landlord; expenses in connection with maintaining and operating any parking facility operated by Landlord that generates parking fee income; the cost of any work or service performed for or facilities furnished to a tenant at the tenant's cost; the cost of correcting defects (latent or otherwise) in the construction of the Building or in the building equipment, except that conditions (not occasioned by construction defects) resulting from ordinary wear and tear shall not be deemed defects; the cost of installing, operating and maintaining a specialty improvement (unless such specialty improvements results in a cost savings to the Building and Appurtenances, in which case the cost may be including in operating expenses but only to the extent of the cost savings) including an observatory or broadcasting, cafeteria or dining facility or club, or athletic or recreational club (unless such athletic or recreational club is provided without charge to all tenants of the Building); and any cost or expense representing an amount paid to a related or affiliated person or entity which is in excess of the amount which would reasonably have been paid in the absence of such relationship, costs of environmental testing, remediation not caused by Tenant; and reserves. (d) "Real estate taxes" are defined as all real estate taxes and assessments (except as hereinafter provided) that are levied or assessed against the Property or any taxes which shall be levied on the rentals of the Building in lieu of or in addition to any such real estate taxes. The tax during any calendar year in respect to which Tenant is obligated to pay its proportionate share of an increase in real estate taxes shall be subject to adjustment to take into account the final determination in the event that real estate taxes are contested. In no event shall Tenant be obligated to pay any interest or penalties imposed upon Landlord for late payment or otherwise. 32 35 (e) Following the end of the calendar year in which the Commencement Date occurs and each calendar year thereafter during the Term, Landlord shall cause its actual Excess Expenses for the Building and Land to be certified by an officer of Landlord, who shall prepare an itemized statement of the operating expenses for the previous calendar year, together with, following the end of the calendar year after which the Commencement Date occurs, a computation of the Excess Expenses and additional rent due, if any, and who shall certify that the statement fairly and accurately presents the Operating Expenses for such calendar year, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. No later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year during the Term (the "Statement Due Date"), Tenant shall be furnished a copy of the statement, and, within thirty (30) days after its receipt (except as provided below) Tenant shall pay Landlord the additional rent specified in the statement. If Tenant has not received a statement by the end of the calendar year in which the statement is due from Landlord, it shall be conclusively presumed that Landlord has waived its claim against Tenant for Tenant's proportionate share of Excess Expenses that would have been set forth in such statement. (f) In order to provide for reasonably current payments on account of the Excess Expenses, Tenant shall pay as additional rent, Landlord's reasonable estimate of its Proportionate Share of the Excess Expenses in twelve (12) monthly equal installments, commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which Tenant receives the notice of such estimate. No new estimate of the Excess Expenses shall be effective until one year after Tenant's receipt of the preceding estimate, and Tenant shall pay as additional rent any estimated increase in such cost commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which Tenant receives such estimate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant has not received the statement of actual operating expenses by the end of the calendar year in which the statement is due from Landlord, then Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any additional rent based on Landlord's estimate of Excess Expenses until such statement is received. If Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Excess Expenses for the previous calendar year exceeds the aggregate of the monthly payments made by Tenant for such year, if any, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the statement, tender to Landlord an amount equal to such excess as additional rent. If such aggregate of the estimated monthly payments exceeds the Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Excess Expenses for such calendar year, then Landlord shall, together with the statement, tender 33 36 to Tenant an amount equal to such difference or such difference shall be a credit against the next and each successive payment of Rent becoming due until such credit is exhausted. The obligations of Tenant and Landlord to make payments or credits required by this Rider shall survive the Expiration Date. (g) Landlord shall, at Tenant's request, forward copies of all records reasonably necessary for Tenant to verify the accuracy of the statement of Excess Expenses. Further, Landlord shall, at Tenant's request, make available to Tenant for inspection and examination, all the books and records that relate to such statement of Excess Expenses. However, if the books and records are not made available at Landlord's offices upon reasonable request by Tenant during Landlord's business hours, then the additional rent due in that year shall, in no event, be due and payable earlier than 20 days after Tenant's request is honored. Tenant shall have the right to cause and Landlord shall permit audits to be made of the statement and such books and records by Tenant's auditors or by independent auditors or accountants of Tenant's choosing. Any statement period used as a base year for the purpose of calculating Excess Expenses may be audited at any time; an audit of any statement must begin no more than six (6) months after Tenant's receipt of such statement from Landlord. Landlord shall cooperate with such auditors and accountants and shall promptly (but in no event later than ten business days after request) make such additional records of Landlord as they shall reasonably request available for examination at the Landlord's offices. If the results of such audit indicate the statement for any calendar year overstated Operating Expenses for such calendar year by five percent (5%) or more, Landlord shall pay Tenant the reasonable cost of such audit in addition to any overpayment made by Tenant within 10 days of demand therefor. A report of the findings of the auditors or accountants shall be provided to both Landlord and Tenant and shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant. (h) Landlord shall use best efforts to operate the Building and the Appurtenances at costs comparable for similar types of Class A office buildings in Oklahoma City, and at the same time keep operating expenses at a reasonable minimum. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that during the Term costs necessary to provide the same general level of services provided during the first calendar year may thereafter increase. 34 37 RIDER 2 Attached To And Made Part Of Lease Dated As Of February 13, 1998. Made Between TMJ PROPERTIES, L.L.C. (Landlord) and WILLIAMS-SONOMA, INC. (Tenant) Expansion Premises. Tenant shall have the option (Expansion Option") to cause Landlord to expand the Premises to accommodate an additional 15,000 rentable square feet of improved space, together with Overflow Parking (minimum of thirteen (13) parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of building), in the location depicted on Exhibit "B" attached hereto and described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto (the "Expansion Premises"). The Expansion Option shall not, at Landlord's election, be exercisable if Tenant is in default under Paragraph 12 of this Lease at the time Tenant attempts to exercise the Expansion Option. In order to exercise the Expansion Option, Tenant must deliver written notice ("Expansion Notice") thereof to Landlord prior to the expiration of the third (3rd) Lease Year. Upon Tenant's timely exercise of the Expansion Option, Landlord shall cause the construction of the Expansion Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Subject to Applicable Laws, the improvements provided by Landlord for the Expansion Premises shall be substantially the same as the Base Improvements provided by Landlord for the original Improvements. The estimated Commencement Date for the Expansion Premises will be twelve (12) months following the date of Landlord's receipt of the Expansion Notice; provided, however, that upon request from Tenant, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accelerate construction of improvements in the Expansion Premises. The actual Commencement Date for Tenant's lease of the Expansion Premises will be the date upon which the Expansion Premises has been substantially completed as that term is defined in this Lease. The Term of Tenant's lease of the Expansion Premises shall be co-terminous with the Term of Tenant's lease of the original Premises. Effective upon the Commencement Date for the Expansion Premises, (I) the Expansion Premises shall become a portion of the Premises for all purposes under this Lease, and (ii) annual Fixed Rent shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of the then-current Annual Fixed Rent (on a rentable square foot basis) multiplied by the rentable square footage 35 38 contained in the improvements constructed for the Expansion Premises. The then-current Annual Fixed Rent shall be adjusted for construction cost increases from January 1, 1998 to the date that Tenant notifies Landlord of its intention to exercise the Expansion Option under this Section. The index used to determine the construction cost increases shall be the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (Revised Series). The CPI for a specific date shall be deemed to mean the CPI published on that date or, if not published on that date, the most recent publication of the CPI prior to such date. If publication of the CPI shall be discontinued, "CPI" shall be such other source as is most nearly comparable to the CPI as defined above. Fixed Rent for the Expansion Space may also be adjusted based on increases and/or decreases in the prime rate charged by NationsBank, N.A. from the date this lease was executed to the date Tenant notifies Landlord of its intention to exercise this Expansion Option. Delay in Delivery. The term "Outside Date" shall mean August 15, 1998; provided, however, that such August 15, 1998 date shall be extended on a day-for-day basis to the extent that Landlord is delayed in substantially completing the Improvements as a result of Tenant not executing the Lease by February 9, 1998, any Tenant delays, and/or Force Majeure. In the event that the Commencement Date does not occur on or before the Outside Date (as so extended), then (i) Tenant's obligation to pay Monthly Fixed Rent shall not commence until the commencement Date, (ii) for each week after the Outside Date (as so extended) in which the Commencement Date has not occurred, (a) Tenant's first obligations to pay Monthly Fixed Rent shall be reduced by the sum of $20,000 and (b) the date of expiration of the initial Term shall be extended for two (2) weeks. The term "Outside Training Date" shall mean September 1, 1998; provided, however, that such September 1, 1998 date shall be extended on a day-for-day basis to the extent that Landlord is delayed in substantially completing the Improvements as a result of Tenant not executing the Lease by February 9, 1998, any Tenant delays, and/or Force Majeure. In the event that the Commencement Date does not occur on or before the Outside Training Date (as so extended), then in addition to Tenant's rights under preceding paragraph, (I) Landlord shall reimburse Tenant, within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of a reasonably particularized invoice and other evidence of payment reasonably requested by Landlord, for the excess ("Training Excess") of any actual, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in order to train 36 39 Tenant's employees who will be working from the premises as of the Commencement Date over and above the amount of actual, out-of-pocket expenses Tenant would have incurred in order to train such employees had the Commencement Date occurred on or before the Outside Training Date (as so extended), and (ii) the date of expiration of the Initial Term shall be extended (in addition to the extension described in the preceding paragraph) for a sufficient number of days so that the monthly Fixed Rent paid by Tenant for the Premises during such extension shall be equivalent to the amount of the Training Excess so paid by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the portion of the Building designed for training (including adequate restroom facilities) in the Tenant's floor plans is made available prior to September 1, 1998, then in that event Landlord shall not be required to reimburse Tenant for the Training Excess of any actual, out-of-pocket cost incurred by Tenant. 37 40 EXHIBIT A [MAP OF SITE PLAN] 36 41 [COON ENGINEERING, INC.

("Tenant"), TJM Properties, L.L.C. ("Landlord"), and Local Federal Bank, F.S.B., ("Mortgagee"). WHEREAS, Mortgagee is the owner of a promissory note (herein, as it may have been or may be from time to time renewed, extended, amended or supplemented, called the "Note") dated February 23, 1998, executed by TJM Properties, L.L.C. payable to the order of Local Federal Bank, F.S.B., in the principal amount of $3,590,000, bearing interest and payable as therein provided, secured by, among other things, a Deed of Trust (herein, as it may have been or may be from time to time renewed, extended, amended or supplemented, called the "Mortgage"), recorded in Volume 7252, Page 148, real property records of Oklahoma County, OK, covering, among other property, the land (the "Land") described in Exhibit "A" which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and the improvements ("Improvements") thereon (such Land and Improvements being herein together called the "Property"); WHEREAS, Tenant is the tenant under a lease which, including all amendments and supplements thereto, is described as follows: Williams-Sonoma Building - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (herein, as it may from time to time be renewed, extended, amended or supplemented, called the "Lease"), covering a portion of the Property (said portion being herein referred to as the "Premises"); and WHEREAS, the term "Landlord" as used herein means the present landlord under the Lease or, if the landlord's interest is transferred in any manner, the successor(s) or assign(s) occupying the position of landlord under the Lease at the time in question: THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1. Subordination. Tenant agrees and covenants that the Lease and the rights of Tenant thereunder, all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to the property covered by the Lease, and any lease thereafter executed by Tenant covering any part of the Property, are and shall be subordinate and inferior to (a) the Mortgage and the rights of Mortgagee thereunder, and all right, title and interest of Mortgagee in the Property, and (b) all other security documents now or hereafter securing payment of any indebtedness of the Landlord (or any prior landlord) to Mortgagee which cover or affect the Property (the "Security Documents"). This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to subordinate the Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other security document other than those referred to in the preceding sentence, securing the indebtedness to Mortgagee. Without limitation of any other provision hereof, Mortgagee may, at its option and without joinder or further consent of Tenant, Landlord, or anyone else, at any time after the date hereof subordinate the lien of the Mortgage (or any other lien or security interest held by Mortgagee which covers or affects the Property) to the Lease by executing an instrument which is intended for that purpose and which specifies such subordination; and, in the event of any such election by Mortgagee to subordinate, Tenant will execute any documents required to evidence such subordination; provided however, notwithstanding that the Lease may by unilateral subordination by Mortgagee hereafter be made superior to the lien of the Mortgage, the provisions of the Mortgage relative to the rights of Mortgagee with respect to proceeds arising from an eminent domain taking (including a voluntary conveyance by Landlord) and/or insurance payable by reason of damage to or destruction of the Premises shall be prior and superior to and shall control over any contrary provisions in the Lease. 2. Non-Disturbance. Mortgagee agrees that so long as the Tenant is not in default in the payment of rent, additional rent, or other payments or in the performance of any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant's part to be performed (beyond the period, if any, specified in the Lease within which Tenant may cure such default), (a) Tenant's possession of the Premises under the Lease shall not be disturbed or interfered with by Mortgagee in the exercise of any of its rights under the Mortgage, including any foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, and (b) Mortgagee will not join Tenant as a party defendant for the purpose of terminating Tenant's interest and estate under the Lease in any proceeding for foreclosure of the Mortgage. 50 53 3. Attornment. (a) Tenant covenants and agrees that in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, whether by power of sale or by court action, or upon a transfer of the Property by conveyance in lieu of foreclosure (the purchaser at foreclosure or the transferee in lieu of foreclosure, including Mortgagee if it is such purchaser or transferee, being herein called "New Owner:"), Tenant shall attorn to the New Owner as Tenant's new landlord, and agrees that the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Tenant and New Owner upon all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements set forth in the Lease and this Agreement, except for provisions which are impossible for Mortgagee to perform; provided, however, that in no event shall the New Owner be: (i) liable for any act, omission, default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty, of any previous landlord (including Landlord) or obligations accruing prior to New Owner's actual ownership of the property; (ii) subject to any offset, defense, claim or counterclaim which Tenant might be entitled to assert against any previous landlord (including Landlord); (iii) bound by any payment of rent, additional rent or other payments, made by Tenant to any previous landlord (including Landlord) for more than one (1) month in advance; (iv) bound by any amendment, or modification of the Lease hereafter made, (including Landlord) under the Lease to any assignment or sublease hereafter granted, without the written consent of Mortgagee; or (v) liable for any deposit that Tenant may have given to any previous landlord (including Landlord) which has not, as such, been transferred to New Owner. (b) The provisions of this Agreement regarding attornment by Tenant shall be self-operative and effective without the necessity of execution of any new lease or other document on the part of any party hereto or the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns of any such party. Tenant agrees, however, to execute and deliver at any time and from time to time, upon the request of Landlord or of any holder(s) of any of the indebtedness or other obligations secured by the Mortgage, any instrument or certificate reasonably may be necessary to appropriate in any such foreclosure proceeding or otherwise to evidence such attornment, including, if requested, a new lease of the Premises on the same terms and conditions as the Lease for the then unexpired term of the Lease. 4. Estoppel Certificate. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of Landlord or of any holder(s) of any of the indebtedness or other obligations secured by the Mortgage, a certificate regarding the status of the Lease, consisting of statements, if true (or it not, specifying why not), (a) that the Lease is in full force and effect, (b) the date through which rentals have been paid, (c) the date of the commencement of the term of the Lease, (d) the nature of any amendments or modifications of the Lease (e) that to Tenant's knowledge no default, or state of facts which with the passage of time or notice (or both) would constitute a default, exists under the Lease, and (f) such other matters as may be reasonably requested. 5. Acknowledgement and Agreement by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees as follows: (a) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will execute and deliver to Mortgagee in connection with the financing of the Property [AN ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS ASSIGNING ABSOLUTELY THE RENT AND ALL OTHER SUMS DUE UNDER THE LEASE] [A COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, AND ALL OTHER SUMS DUE UNDER THE LEASE TO MORTGAGEE AS ADDITIONAL SECURITY]. Tenant hereby expressly consents to such (absolute assignment) (collateral assignment) and agrees that such assignment shall, in all respects, be superior to any interest Tenant has in the Lease or the Property, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Tenant shall not prepay any rents or other sums due under the lease for more than one (1) month in advance of the due date therefor. Tenant acknowledges that Mortgagee will rely upon this instrument in connection with such financing. (b) Mortgagee, in making any disbursements to landlord, is under no obligation or duty to oversee or direct the application of the Proceeds of such disbursements, and such proceeds may be used by Landlord for purposes other than improvement of the Property. (c) From and after the date hereof, in the event of any act or omission by Landlord which would give Tenant the right, either immediately or after the lapse of time, to terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant will not exercise any such right (I) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to the Mortgagee; and (ii) until the same period of time as is given to Landlord under the Lease to cure such act or omission shall have elapsed following such giving of notice to Mortgagee and following the time when Mortgagee shall have 51 54 become entitled under the Mortgage to remedy the same, but in any event 30 days after receipt of such notice during which period of time Mortgagee shall be permitted to cure or remedy such default, act, or omission; provided, however, that Mortgagee shall have no duty or obligation to cure or remedy and breach or default. It is specifically agreed that Tenant shall not, as to Mortgagee, require cure of any such default which is personal to Landlord and therefore not susceptible to cure by Mortgagee. (d) In the event that Mortgagee notifies Tenant of a default under the Mortgage, Note, or Security Documents and demands that Tenant pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Mortgagee, Tenant shall honor such demand and pay the full amount of its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Mortgagee or as otherwise required pursuant to such notice beginning with the payment next due after such notice of default, without inquiry as to whether a default actually exists under the Mortgage, Security documents or otherwise in connection with the Note, and notwithstanding any contrary instructions of or demands from Landlord, and without any liability to Landlord for making such payment to Mortgagee. (e) Tenant shall send a copy of any notice or statement of Landlord's default under the Lease to Mortgagee at the same time such notice or statement is sent to Landlord. (f) Tenant has no right or option of any nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, to purchase the Premises or the Property, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, and to the extent that Tenant has had, or hereafter acquires, any such right or option, same is hereby acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and is hereby waived and released as against Mortgagee. (g) This Agreement satisfies any condition or requirement in the Lease relating to the granting of a non-disturbance agreement with respect to the subject Mortgage only and Tenant waives any requirement to the contrary in the Lease. (h) Mortgagee and any New Owner shall have no obligation nor incur any liability with respect to the erection or completion of the improvements in which the Premises are located or for completion of the Premises or any improvements for Tenant's use and occupancy, either at the commencement of the term of the Lease or upon any renewal or extension thereof or upon the addition of additional space, pursuant to any expansion rights contained in the Lease. (i) Mortgagee and any New owner shall have no obligation nor incur any liability with respect to any warranties of any nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, including, without limitation, any warranties respecting use, compliance with zoning, Landlord's title, landlord's authority, habitability, fitness for purpose or possession. (j) In the event that Mortgagee or any New Owner shall acquire title to the Premises or the Property, Mortgagee or such New Owner shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Mortgagee's or New Owner's then equity interest, if any, in the Property or the Premises, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such equity interest of Mortgagee or New Owner, if any, for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Mortgagee or New Owner hereunder or under the Lease or for recovery of any judgment from Mortgagee, or New Owner, and in no event shall Mortgagee, New Owner, nor any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives, servants, employees or partners ever be personally liable for such judgement.

(l) Landlord has not agreed to any abatement of rent or other sums or period of "free rent" for the Premises unless same is specifically provided in the Lease, and Tenant agrees that in the event Mortgagee, or any New Owner becomes the owner of the Property, no agreement for abatement of rent or any other sum not specifically provided in the Lease will be binding on Mortgagee or New Owner. 6. Acknowledgement and Agreement by Landlord. Landlord, as landlord under the Lease and grantor under the Mortgage, acknowledges and agrees for itself and its heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, that: (a) this Agreement does not constitute a waiver by Mortgagee of any of its rights under the Mortgage, Note, or Security Documents, or in any way release landlord from its obligations to comply with the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants, agreements and clauses of the Mortgage, Note, and Security Documents; (b) the provisions of the Mortgage, Note, or Security Documents remain in full force and effect and must be complied with by Landlord; and (c) Tenant is hereby authorized to pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Mortgagee upon receipt of a notice as set forth in paragraph 5(d) above from Mortgagee and that 52 55 Tenant is not obligated to inquire as to whether a default actually exists under the Mortgage, Security Documents or otherwise in connection with the Note. Landlord hereby releases and discharges Tenant of and from any liability to Landlord resulting from Tenant's payment to Mortgagee in accordance with this Agreement. Landlord represents and warrants to Mortgagee that a true and complete copy of the Lease has been delivered by landlord to Mortgagee. 7. Lease Status. Landlord and Tenant certify to Mortgagee that neither Landlord nor Tenant has knowledge of any default on the part of the other under the Lease, that the Lease is bonafide and contains all of the agreements of the parties thereto with respect to the letting of the Premises and that all of the agreements and provisions therein contained are in full force and effect. 8. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, demands and other communications required or which any party desires to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by telegram, telex, or facsimile, by expedited delivery service with proof of delivery, or by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, at the addresses specified at the end of this Agreement (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose address is to be changed). Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of delivery service or mail, as of the date first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of telegram, telex or facsimile, upon receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of address shall be effective except upon receipt. This Paragraph 8 shall not be construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided in this Agreement or in the lease or in any document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the loan evidenced by the Note or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any person in any situation or for any reason. 9. Miscellaneous. (a) This Agreement supersedes any inconsistence provision of the Lease. (b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to derogate from or in any way impair or affect the lien, security interest or provisions of the Mortgage, Note, or Security documents. (c) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns, and any New Owner, and its heirs personal representatives, successors and assigns; provided however, that in the event of the assignment or transfer of the interest of Mortgagee, all obligations and liabilities of the assigning Mortgagee under this Agreement shall terminate, and thereupon all such obligations and liabilities shall be the responsibility of the party to whom mortgagee's interest is assigned or transferred. (d) THIS AGREEMENT AND ITS VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA AND APPLICABLE UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW EXCEPT ONLY TO THE EXTENT, IF ANY, THAT THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROEPRTY IS LOCATED NECESSARILY CONTROL. (e) The words "herein", "hereof", "hereunder" and other similar compounds of the word "here" as used in this Agreement refer to this entire Agreement and not to any particular section or provision. (f) This Agreement may not be modified orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. (g) If any provision of the Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not apply to or affect any other provision hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability did not exist.
