Landlord, in consideration of the Rent and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, leases the Leased Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Leased Premises from Landlord, subject to the terms of this Lease. The number of RENTABLE SQUARE FEET in the Leased Premises and the Project is the square footage of the applicable portion of the Project, is stipulated for all purposes to be the number of Rentable Square Feet set forth in Section 1 and is binding on Landlord and Tenant subject to changes in the size of the Leased Premises. 3. LEASE TERM. (a) The Lease Term begins on the earliest to occur of: (1) the date Tenant occupies any part of the Leased Premises; (2) the Commencement Date; or (3) the Ready for Occupancy Date (defined below); and ends on the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Ready for Occupancy Date occurs before May 22, 1998, then the Lease Term shall begin on the earlier of (i) the date Tenant occupies any part of the Lease Premises or May 25, 1998, and if the Ready for Occupancy Date occurs on or after May 25, 1998 and before July 3, 1998, then the Lease Term shall begin on the earlier of (i) the date Tenant occupies any part of the Lease Premises, or (ii) July 3, 1998. (b) Subject to Paragraph 3(c) below, if the Ready for Occupancy Date does not occur by the Commencement Date for any reason other than omission, delay, or default by any Tenant Party, Tenant's obligation to pay Rent does not commence until the Ready For Occupancy Date occurs and the Expiration Date is extended for a period of time equal to the time period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the day before the Ready for Occupancy Date. This abatement of Rent is Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy and is full settlement of all claims that Tenant has against Landlord by reason of the Leased Premises not being ready for occupancy by Tenant on the Commencement Date. (c) If Tenant occupies any part of the Leased Premises before the Commencement Date or the Ready for Occupancy Date, as applicable, the Lease Term and Tenant's obligation to pay Rent commence on the date Tenant occupies the Leased Premises and the Expiration Date is 126 months after the date on which Tenant's occupancy commences. Tenant is deemed to occupy the Leased Premises when Tenant takes possession of any part of the Leased Premises for any purpose, including placing furniture and installing Tenant's equipment in the Leased Premises. (d) When the first day of the Lease Term is established pursuant to this Paragraph 3, Landlord shall prepare and Landlord and Tenant shall exchange a letter acknowledging that date and, if the Expiration Date changes under this Paragraph, the Expiration Date. PAGE 4 <PAGE> (e) The READY FOR OCCUPANCY DATE is the earlier to occur of: (1) the date that Landlord notifies Tenant that the City of Dallas has approved the Leased Premises for occupancy; or (2) the date the City of Dallas would have approved the Leased Premises for occupancy but for delays caused by any Tenant Party; provided, if Landlord performs any Additional Work (defined in EXHIBIT F), the Ready for Occupancy Date is deemed accelerated by the number of days in the Additional Work Period (defined in EXHIBIT F). 4. ACCEPTANCE OF LEASED PREMISES. Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Premises is conclusive evidence that Tenant: (A) accepts the Leased Premises as suitable for the purposes for which they are leased; (B) accepts the Leased Premises and the Project as being in a good and satisfactory condition; and (C) waives any defects in the Leased Premises and the Project; provided, however, that by occupying the Lease Premises, Tenant shall not be deemed to have accepted or waived any defect therein about Tenant, in the exercise of reasonable care, could not have learned prior to occupying the Leased Premises. 5. RENT PAYMENTS. (a) The installment of Minimum Rent due for the seventh (7th) month of the Lease Term is payable by Tenant when this Lease is executed. Subsequent installments of Minimum Rent are payable by Tenant in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term beginning on the first day of the eighth full calendar month after the Commencement Date (or the Ready for Occupancy Date, if applicable). Minimum Rent for any partial calendar month is prorated on a per diem basis. (b) All Rent is payable by Tenant at the times and in the amounts specified in this Lease in legal tender of the United States of America to Landlord at the following address or to any other person or at any other address as Landlord may from time to time designate by notice to Tenant: F/P/D Master Lease, Inc. P.O. Box 844792 Dallas, Texas 75284-4792 (c) Rent is payable by Tenant without notice, demand, abatement, deduction, or set off. Tenant's obligation to pay Rent is independent of any obligation of Landlord under PAGE 5 <PAGE> this Lease. If any installment of Rent is not paid within 5 days after it is due, Tenant shall pay a late charge in an amount equal to 10% of the delinquent installment of Rent when it pays the delinquent installment. In addition, any Rent not paid when due (and which represents amounts not already specified as bearing interest under other provisions of this Lease) bears interest from the due date until the date paid at a rate (the INTEREST RATE) equal to the lesser of the highest rate allowable under applicable law or 18% per annum. 6. ELECTRICITY. (a) Landlord, subject to payment by Tenant as specified below, shall furnish electricity as follows: - up to 2 watts per Rentable Square Foot in the Leased Premises at 277 volts for lighting; and - up to 1.25 watts per Rentable Square Foot in the Leased Premises at 120 volts for office machines. If Tenant wants to use any office equipment or lighting that will cause Tenant's electricity requirements to exceed the specified levels or that will generate, excess heat, Tenant must give Landlord prior notice specifying Tenant's excess electricity requirements and the specific equipment that generates excess heat. If the excess electricity requirements can be supplied without, in Landlord's sole opinion, overloading the existing Building systems, or if the additional equipment necessary to supply Tenant's excess electricity requirements can be installed without, in Landlord's sole opinion, creating a dangerous condition in the Building, Landlord shall supply Tenant's excess electricity requirements and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost of supplying the excess electricity requirements, including all installation costs, on demand as additional Rent. (b) If Tenant's electricity use exceeds the specified limits, Landlord may, at its sole option, either: - install separate submeter(s) for all or any part of the Leased Premises and Tenant shall pay Landlord the installation cost and the cost of the excess electricity as metered on demand as additional Rent; or - if Landlord does not elect to install separate submeter(s), cause Landlord's engineer to determine the amount of excess electricity to be allocated to Tenant based on the power requirements of the equipment or lighting and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost of the excess electricity as reasonably determined by Landlord's engineer on demand as additional Rent. PAGE 6 <PAGE> (c) If Tenant's electricity use exceeds the specified limits or any of Tenant's equipment generates excess heat, Landlord may also, at its sole option and without any obligation to do so, install supplemental air conditioning units in the Leased Premises to offset the heat-generating effect of Tenant's excess electricity usage and Tenant's equipment and Tenant shall pay Landlord the installation cost and the cost of operation, use, repair, and replacement of the supplemental air conditioning units on demand as additional Rent. (d) The obligation of Landlord to furnish electricity is subject to the rules and regulations of the supplier of electricity and of any municipal or other governmental authority regulating the business of providing electricity. Landlord is not liable to any Tenant Party for any failure or defect in the supply or character of electricity furnished to the Leased Premises due to any requirement, act, or omission of the entity supplying electricity to the Project. (e) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without any set off or deduction, beginning on the Commencement Date, Tenant's Proportionate Share of Total Electricity Costs for the Project (defined below) incurred in the use, occupancy, and operation of the Project and all related improvements and appurtenances, including electricity used for heating and air-conditioning and perimeter lighting for the Project, net of Submetered Power (defined below). (f) The term TOTAL ELECTRICITY COSTS FOR THE PROJECT means the total electricity cost charged to Landlord by the entity supplying electricity to the Building, and the Building's share of electricity costs charged for other portions of the Project, including taxes, but may not include any administrative fee or charge by Landlord. The term SUBMETERED POWER means all supplemental electricity that is separately submetered by Landlord and paid by tenants in the Building or that is separately tracked and calculated by Landlord's engineer and paid by tenants in the Building. (g) If Landlord at any time elects to install submeters measuring electricity used in the Building or the Leased Premises, which may include submeters measuring electricity used for heating and cooling the Building or Leased Premises, then Tenant's Proportionate Share of those actual costs will be based on actual use as measured by the submeters, but, with any areas sharing a submeter being prorated on the basis that the area of the Leased Premises bears to the total area covered by the submeters. (h) Landlord shall bill Tenant for Tenant's electricity charges under this Paragraph monthly and Tenant shall pay its electricity charges within 10 business days after receipt of each bill. Landlord shall bill Tenant for Tenant's electricity charge for the last full or partial month of the Lease Term as soon as practicable after the termination or expiration of this Lease and Tenant shall pay the bill within 10 PAGE 7 <PAGE> business days after receipt. Tenant's obligation to pay the bill survives the termination or expiration of the Lease. 7. SERVICES BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall maintain the Building, the On-Site Garage, the Off-Site Garage and all common areas (exclusive of those portions of the Lease Premises Tenant is obligated to maintain hereunder) in accordance with standards customarily followed in the maintenance of first-class buildings comparable to the Building in the downtown Dallas central business district. Landlord, subject to payment by Tenant as specified below, shall furnish the following services for the Leased Premises: - air conditioning, both heating and cooling (as required by the seasons), from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., except on Holidays (as defined below) (the HVAC Standard Hours) amounts as are in the sole judgment of Landlord reasonably required for comfortable use and occupancy under normal business operations. Circulating air is not available other than through the Building's HVAC system. If Tenant requires HVAC services at any time other than HVAC Standard Hours, Landlord shall furnish after-hours HVAC service for the times specified in a request by Tenant received by the Project manager before 2:00 p.m. on the business day the extra usage is required. Requests received after that deadline will be handled in accordance with Landlord's Building Policies in effect at the time. Tenant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the current Building Policies. Landlord may make changes in the Building Policies and the changes become effective when a copy of the revised Building Policies is delivered to Tenant. Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional Rent for extra service within 5 days after receipt of a bill therefor the greater of (A) the actual cost of the extra service [if more than one tenant has requested and is furnished after-hours HVAC service for the same hour(s) the charge will be prorated if reasonably possible], or (B) $50 per hour per floor (whole or partial) of after-hours HVAC service. HOLIDAYS are New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS. (a) Landlord does not warrant that the services provided by Landlord will be free from any slow-down, interruption, or stoppage by governmental bodies, regulatory agencies, utility companies, and others supplying services or caused by the maintenance, repair, replacement, or improvement of any equipment involved in the furnishing of the services or caused by changes of services, alterations, strikes, lock-outs, labor controversies, fuel shortages, accidents, acts of God, the elements, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Landlord shall use due diligence to resume the service upon any slowdown, interruption, or stoppage. (b) No slow-down, interruption, or stoppage of the services may be construed as an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant or cause an abatement of Rent or in any manner or for any purpose relieve Tenant from its obligations under this Lease. Landlord is not liable for damage to persons or property, or in default under this Lease, as a result of any slow-down, interruption, or stoppage. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there occurs an interruption in HVAC, electricity, water or elevator services ("ESSENTIAL SERVICES"), such interruption is not caused by Tenant or a Tenant Party, such interruption renders at least 50% of the Leased Premises untenantable, and such interruption continues to render at least 50% of the PAGE 9 <PAGE> Lease Premises untenantable for (i) 5 consecutive business days if caused by Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) 30 consecutive days if not caused by Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct, then Rent shall abate as to that portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable from the 6th consecutive business day or the 31st day, as the case may be, of such interruption and for as long as such interruption continues thereafter. The foregoing remedies shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedies with respect to interruption of services. 9. OPERATING COSTS. (a) The term OPERATING COSTS means those expenses (other than expenses for electricity) directly incurred in the management, operation, maintenance, repair, and security of the Project, including but not limited to the cost of all utilities, building supplies, janitorial service, maintenance, repairs, fire and extended coverage, public liability, and other insurance costs, all labor and employee benefit costs (including wages, salaries, and fees of all personnel engaged in the management, operation, maintenance, repair, and security of the Project), ad valorem taxes and assessments (both regular and special), costs that reduce operating expenses or are required to meet Applicable Laws [defined in Paragraph 14(a)], management fees, consulting fees, legal fees, accounting fees, the Building's share of fees, charges, taxes, expenses and other amounts due in connection with pedestrian tunnels, pedestrian skybridges, parking-garages, City of Dallas property required to be maintained or operated by Landlord, and other elements of the Project or other facilities that benefit the Building, and the fair market rental of the Project managers' offices, together with payments or credits Landlord makes to any tenant or tenants in the Project in lieu of Landlord providing any of the services or paying for any of the costs. If for any time period in question the Project is less than 95% occupied, Landlord shall increase Operating Costs as though the Project were 95% occupied. (b) The term EXCESS OPERATING COSTS means the amount by which the Operating Costs for any calendar year after the Base Year exceed the Operating Costs for the Base Year. Landlord shall calculate Operating Costs and Excess Operating Costs on a Rentable Square Foot basis by dividing the aggregate costs by the Total Building Area. If the amount of ad valorem taxes and assessments for the Base Year is subsequently modified, the modified amount is deemed to be the ad valorem taxes and assessments for the Base Year and is substituted for the original amount of taxes and assessments in the calculation of Operating Costs for the Base Year. (c) If there are Excess Operating Costs for any calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional Rent an amount equal to the product of the Excess Operating Costs (on a Rentable Square Foot basis) multiplied by the number of Rentable Square Feet in the Leased Premises. If the amount of ad valorem taxes and assessments for the Base Year is reduced under subparagraph (b), Tenant shall pay to Landlord as PAGE 10 <PAGE> additional Rent any underpayment in Excess Operating Costs resulting from the recalculation of the Operating Costs for the Base Year within 30 days after delivery of any invoice therefor. (d) On or before December 1 of the Base Year and each subsequent calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord's reasonable estimate of the Excess Operating Costs for the next calendar year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly as additional Rent, in advance on or before the first day in each succeeding calendar month, an amount equal to one twelfth (l/12th) of the product of the number of Rentable Square Feet in the Leased Premises times Landlord's estimated Excess Operating Costs for the applicable calendar year. Landlord may adjust its estimate by notice to Tenant at any time during the applicable calendar year if actual Excess Operating Costs are substantially different from the estimate, and thereafter payments by Tenant under this Paragraph adjust accordingly. The term CALENDAR YEAR includes partial calendar years. (e) No later than July 1 of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement (EXCESS OPERATING COSTS STATEMENT) certified by an authorized representative of Landlord setting out in reasonable detail the actual Excess Operating Costs for the prior calendar year. If the estimated payments made by Tenant during the prior calendar year exceed Tenant's share of actual Excess Operating Costs for that year, Landlord shall credit the difference against the next ensuing installments of estimated payments by Tenant under this Paragraph. If the estimated payments made by Tenant during the prior calendar year under this Paragraph are less than Tenant's share of the actual Excess Operating Costs for that year, Tenant shall pay the amount of the difference to Landlord in cash within 30 days after delivery of any invoice therefor by Landlord accompanied by a statement of the actual Excess Operating Costs for that year as additional Rent. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Costs that are controllable (which excludes electricity, taxes, utilities and insurance) shall not increase, on a cumulative compounded basis by more than eight percent (8%) per year during the Lease Term. (g) If Operating Costs for any calendar year (other than taxes, utility or insurance) increase by more than 5%, Tenant, at its expense, may inspect, audit, and copy Landlord's books and records concerning the applicable Excess Operating Costs Statement at Landlord's Project Manager's offices during normal office hours within 6 months after the date of the Excess Operating Costs Statement by giving Landlord at least 30 days' prior notice. Tenant may not be in Landlord's Project Manager's offices for more than a total of 5 business days. Tenant shall make reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to Landlord's business while in Landlord's project manager's offices. Landlord will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the conduct PAGE 11 <PAGE> of such audit. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the audit within 10 days after it is finalized. - If Tenant disputes any Excess Operating Costs Statement as a result of its audit and Landlord does not contest the accuracy of Tenant's dispute, within 10 business days after demand, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the amount of any overpayment or Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment, together with interest thereon from the date due until paid at the Interest Rate. If Landlord contests the results of Tenant's audit, Landlord and Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to resolve their differences. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve their differences after using reasonable efforts, then, prior to the institution of legal action, Landlord and Tenant agree to attempt to resolve such dispute by participating in non-binding mediation. If Tenant retains a third party (AUDITOR) to audit any Excess Operating Costs Statement, the Auditor must be a nationally recognized accounting firm that is not being compensated by Tenant on a contingency fee basis. Prior to conducting an audit, Tenant and any Auditor shall execute Landlord's standard form of confidentiality agreement relating to the audit. - Tenant may not conduct an audit of any Excess Operating Costs Statement if Tenant is in default under this Lease at the time Tenant delivers its notice to Landlord requesting the audit or at the time the audit would be conducted. Except for Affiliate, as hereinafter defined, sublessees or assignees, no subtenant may conduct an audit and no assignee may conduct an audit for any period during which the assignee was not in possession of the Leased Premises. 10. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Intentionally Deleted. 11. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. (a) Tenant may not, without Landlord's prior written consent, except as specified in subparagraph 11(i) below; (1) assign or transfer this Lease or any interest therein; (2) permit any assignment of this Lease or any interest therein by operation of law; (3) sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof; (4) grant any license, concession, or other right of occupancy of any portion of the Leased Premises; (5) mortgage, pledge, or otherwise encumber its interest in this Lease; or (6) permit the use of the Leased Premises by any parties other than Tenant and its employees. Landlord's consent to any assignment, subletting, or reorganization is not a waiver of Landlord's right to approve or disapprove any subsequent assignment, subletting, or reorganization. Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease (GUARANTOR, whether one or more) shall remain jointly and severally liable for the PAGE 12 <PAGE> payment of Rent and performance of all other obligations under this Lease after any assignment or subletting. If Tenant is a partnership, Tenant, Guarantor, and the general partners of Tenant prior to its reorganization shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment of Rent and performance of all other obligations under this Lease after any reorganization. (b) If an Event of Default (defined in Paragraph 27) occurs while the Leased Premises or any part thereof are assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies under this Lease or provided by law, may at its option collect directly from the assignee or sublessee all rents payable to Tenant under the assignment or sublease and apply the rent against any sums due to Landlord under this Lease. Tenant authorizes and directs any assignee or sublessee to make payments of rent directly to Landlord upon receipt of notice from Landlord. No direct collection of rent by Landlord from any assignee or sublessee is a novation or a release of Tenant or Guarantor from the performance of their obligations under this Lease or under any guaranty executed by Guarantor. Receipt by Landlord of rent from any assignee, sublessee, or occupant of the Leased Premises is not a waiver of the covenant against assignment and subletting or a release of Tenant or Guarantor. (c) If Tenant wants to assign or sublease all or part of the Leased Premises, it shall deliver a notice to Landlord specifying the name of, financial information for, and the nature of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and the proposed effective date of the assignment or sublease. Tenant may not assign or sublease all or any part of the Leased Premises at any time when Tenant is in default under this Lease, whether or not an Event of Default has occurred. (d) Landlord has a period of 20 days from receipt of Tenant's notice to notify Tenant that Landlord elects, in Landlord's sole discretion, to: (1) terminate this Lease as to the space that is the subject of Tenant's notice as of the date specified by Tenant, and if more than thirty percent (30%) of the Leased Premises, whether through one or more transactions, will be subject to assignments or subleases as a results of the proposed sublease or assignment, Landlord shall have the right to terminate the Lease in its entirety; (2) consent to the assignment or sublease; provided, if the rent payable to the Tenant by the sublessee is greater than the Minimum Rent, fifty percent (50%) of the excess rent is payable by Tenant as additional Rent to Landlord on the same dates Tenant pays Minimum Rent; or (3) refuse to consent to Tenant's assignment or sublease of that space and to continue this Lease in effect. PAGE 13 <PAGE> If Landlord does not notify Tenant of Landlord's election within the 20-day period, Landlord is deemed to elect option (3). (e) Any change in a majority of the voting rights or other control rights of Tenant is an assignment for purposes of this Paragraph, If Tenant is a partnership, then any transfer of a general partnership interest is an assignment for purposes hereof. (f) As a condition to the effectiveness of each assignment or subletting, and whether or not Landlord's prior consent is required for the assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its reasonable administrative and legal costs in connection therewith, not to exceed $1,000.

If Landlord is advised of any increase in property valuation which could give rise to a property tax increase for which Landlord is entitled to indemnification under this Paragraph 23, then Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of such increase and Tenant shall thereafter have the right to contest such increase provided Tenant contests such increase in accordance with all applicable laws as to Tenant's personal property only and Tenant either pays the resulting tax increase before it becomes due or provides Landlord with adequate security for the payment of such tax and any penalty and interest should the contest be denied. 24. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Each party waives all claims that arise or may arise in its favor against the other party, or anyone claiming through or under them, by way of subrogation or otherwise, during the Lease Term or any extension or renewal thereof, for all losses of, or damage to, any of its property (whether or not the loss or damage is caused by the fault or negligence of the other party or anyone for whom the other party is responsible), which loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible fire and extended coverage insurance policies, to the extent that the loss or damage is recovered under the insurance policies. These waivers are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other waiver or release in this Lease with respect to any loss or damage to property of the parties. Since these mutual waivers preclude the assignment of any claim by way of subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), each party shall immediately give each insurance company issuing to it policies of fire and extended coverage insurance written notice of the terms of these mutual waivers, and have the insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverages by reason of these waivers. 25. SURRENDER UPON TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION; HOLDOVER. (a) Upon the Expiration Date or any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall: (1) surrender to Landlord possession of the Leased Premises in good repair and condition, reasonable wear and tear and damages or destruction by any insured casualty excepted, and (2) deliver to Landlord all keys to the Leased Premises and all parking access cards. If Tenant does not immediately surrender possession, Landlord may enter upon and take possession of the Leased Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, by force if necessary, without having any civil or criminal liability therefor. (b) If Tenant or any of its successors in interest continues to hold any part of the Leased Premises after the termination of this Lease, the holding over is a tenancy at sufferance at a monthly rental equal to 175% of the monthly Minimum Rent payable at the time of termination, plus the payment of all other Rent payable under this Lease. While Tenant or its successor continues to hold the Leased Premises after the PAGE 29 <PAGE> termination of this Lease, the tenancy is subject to all terms of this Lease; provided, all expansion rights, first refusal rights, first notice rights, first offer rights, and renewal rights automatically terminate. Landlord shall have the right to terminate such tenancy at any time at will on one (1) day notice. (c) No payments of money by Tenant to Landlord after the termination of this Lease reinstate, continue, or extend the Lease Term and no extension of this Lease after the termination or expiration thereof is valid unless it is reduced to writing and signed by Landlord and Tenant. Nothing in this Paragraph may be construed to give Tenant the right to hold over beyond the Expiration Date or any earlier termination of this Lease or preclude Landlord from having the right to dispossess or otherwise terminate Tenant's right of possession. Any month-to-month tenancy is terminable upon notice from Landlord. 26. REMOVAL OF TENANT'S PROPERTY. (a) All furniture, movable trade fixtures, and equipment installed by or on behalf of Tenant remains the property of Tenant and must be removed by Tenant at its sole risk and expense at the termination of this Lease, but may not be removed prior to the termination of this Lease without Landlord's prior consent. Any removal of Tenant's property must be accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner so as not to damage the Leased Premises or the Project. Tenant, or Landlord at Tenant's expense, shall repair any damage to the Leased Premises or the Project caused by any removal. All furniture, movable trade fixtures, and equipment installed by Tenant not removed within 15 days after termination of the Lease are conclusively presumed to be abandoned by Tenant. Landlord may, at its option, take the possession of the property (including any special use improvements) and either (1) declare it to be the property of Landlord by notice to Tenant or (2) at the sole risk and expense of Tenant and without payment of any compensation to Tenant, remove it or any part thereof in any manner, that Landlord chooses and store, sell, or otherwise dispose of it without incurring liability to Tenant or any other person. All amounts payable to Landlord under this Paragraph plus interest at the Interest Rate from date of payment by Landlord until paid by Tenant are due on demand as additional Rent. (b) Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall also remove, at its sole risk and expense, any special use improvements installed by or on behalf of Tenant in connection with the completion of the Tenant Finish Work (as defined in EXHIBIT F), any Additional Work, or otherwise. The term SPECIAL USE IMPROVEMENTS means all special improvements installed specifically for use by Tenant and includes, without limitation, telephone and data cables, computer floors and cables, cafeteria equipment, telephones and telephone equipment, supplemental air conditioning units and related equipment, equipment supplying excess electricity to the Leased Premises, and similar items. Any removal must be accomplished in a good and PAGE 30 <PAGE> workmanlike manner so as not to damage the Leased Premises or the Project. Tenant, or Landlord at Tenant's expense, shall repair any damage to the Leased Premises or the Project caused by any removal. 27. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following are events of default (EVENTS OF DEFAULT) by Tenant under this Lease: (a) Tenant fails to pay any Rent when due and the failure continues for a period of 5 days. (b) Tenant fails to comply with any of the terms of this Lease, other than the payment of Rent, and does not cure the failure within 20 days after Landlord delivers notice of the failure to Tenant or, if such failure is one which cannot be cured within such 20 day period, Tenant fails to begin curing such failure within such 20 day period and diligently pursue such cure to completion within 40 days after the expiration of such 20 day period. (c) Tenant or Guarantor becomes insolvent, makes a transfer in fraud of creditors, commits any act of bankruptcy, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due. (d) Tenant or Guarantor files a petition under any section or chapter of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof, or Tenant or Guarantor is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against Tenant or Guarantor, or a petition or answer proposing the adjudication of Tenant or Guarantor as a bankrupt or its reorganization under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy or similar law is filed in any court and the petition or answer is not discharged or denied within 120 days after filing. (e) A receiver or trustee is appointed for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or Guarantor or of the Leased Premises or of any of Tenant's property located therein in any proceeding brought by Tenant or Guarantor, or any receiver or trustee is appointed in any proceeding brought against Tenant or Guarantor and is not discharged within 120 days after appointment or Tenant or Guarantor shall consent to or acquiesce in the appointment. (f) Tenant, if a natural person, dies or becomes incapacitated or, if Tenant is not a natural person, Tenant is dissolved or ceases to exist. (g) Tenant's leasehold estate is taken on execution or other process of law in any action against Tenant. PAGE 31 <PAGE> (h) Tenant does not conduct its business in any substantial portion of the Leased Premises for more than 5 days. 28. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may then or any time thereafter while the Event of Default continues and without any further notice or opportunity to cure except as expressly set forth in this Paragraph pursue any one or more of the following remedies: (a) Terminate this Lease (without terminating Tenant's obligation to pay Rent for the balance of the Lease Term) by giving notice to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to surrender the Leased Premises, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy it has for possession or arrearages in Rent, take possession of the Leased Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person occupying the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim of damages. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand as additional Rent the amount of all loss and damage Landlord suffers by reason of the termination, whether through inability to relet the Leased Premises on satisfactory terms or otherwise. Except to the extent required by law, Landlord has no duty to re-let the Leased Premises. Landlord's damages specifically include, but are not limited to: (1) all reasonable expenses necessary to re-let the Leased Premises including the cost of renovating, repairing, and altering the Leased Premises for a new tenant or tenants, advertisements, and brokerage fees; and (2) any increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of the Leased Premises. Nothing in this Lease limits Landlord's right to prove and obtain in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings damages by reason of the termination of this Lease in an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount is greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above. (b) Take possession of the Leased Premises and remove Tenant or any other person occupying the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, without having any civil or criminal liability and without terminating this Lease. Landlord may (but is under no obligation, except as may be required by law, to) re-let the Leased Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant, in the name of Tenant or Landlord or otherwise, without notice to Tenant for a term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period that would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term) and on conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) and for uses as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine. Landlord may collect and receive any rents payable by reason of any re-letting. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand as additional Rent all reasonable expenses necessary to re-let the Leased Premises, which includes the cost of renovating, repairing, and altering the Leased Premises for a new tenant or tenants, advertisements, and brokerage fees, as well as any deficiency PAGE 32 <PAGE> that may arise by reason of the reletting. Landlord is not liable for any failure to re-let the Leased Premises or any part thereof or for any failure to collect any Rent due upon any re-letting. No taking of possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord is an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease unless a notice of termination is given to Tenant under subparagraphs (a) or (e). (c) Enter upon the Leased Premises without having any civil or criminal liability and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand as additional Rent for any expenses Landlord incurs in performing Tenant's obligations under this Lease, together with interest at the rate of 18% per annum from the date incurred until repaid by Tenant. Landlord is not liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from Landlord's actions or omissions in performing Tenant's obligations, whether caused by the negligence of Landlord or otherwise. (d) Interrupt or cause the interruption of any utility service serving the Leased Premises, deactivate Tenant's parking access cards, suspend elevator service to the Leased Premises, remove, alter, or change any door, window, attic hatchway cover to the Leased Premises, or any lock, latch, hinge, hinge pin, doorknob, or other mechanism connected to any door, window, or attic hatchway cover to the Leased Premises, and intentionally prevent Tenant from entering the Leased Premises without resort to judicial process. Landlord is under no obligation to restore any door, window, or attic hatchway cover or any lock, latch, hinge, hinge pin, doorknob, or other mechanism attached thereto or to deliver or make available to Tenant any key to any door, window, or attic hatchway cover until Tenant fully cures all Events of Default then existing under this Lease. (e) Terminate this Lease and forthwith repossess the Leased Premises and remove all persons or property therefrom, and be entitled to recover forthwith as damages a sum of money equal to the total of (i) the cost of recovering the Leased Premises (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs of suit), (ii) the cost as reasonably estimated by Landlord of any alterations of, or repairs to, the Leased Premises which are necessary or proper to prepare the same for reletting, (iii) the unpaid Rent owed at the time of termination, plus interest thereon from due date at the rate of 18% per annum, (iv) the present value of the balance of the Rent for the remainder of the Term less the present value of the fair market rental value (and in computing the fair market rental value the factors taken into account shall include without limitation the market rental concessions and the time necessary to relet the Leased Premises) of the Leased Premises for said period (in each case using a discount rate of 8% per annum), and (v) any other sum of money and damages owed by Tenant to Landlord. PAGE 33 <PAGE> (f) If Tenant violates Section 27 (h), then Landlord, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right, but not the obligation, at Landlord's sole option, to terminate this Lease by delivering to Tenant 30 days' prior written notice of the effective date of such termination. No repossession of or reentering all or any part of the Leased Premises, and no re-letting of the Leased Premises or any part thereof, relieves Tenant or Guarantor of any liabilities or obligations under this Lease, all of which survive repossession or re-entering by Landlord. If Landlord repossesses or re-enters all or any part of the Leased Premises after an Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Rent required to be paid by Tenant. No right or remedy of Landlord under this Lease is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy. Each right and remedy of Landlord is cumulative and all other rights or remedies under this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute. In addition to other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord is 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 terms of this Lease, or to a decree compelling specific performance of the terms of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord is deemed to have a duty to mitigate its damages arising from a default by Tenant under this Lease, then Landlord's duty to mitigate shall be limited to using reasonable and good faith efforts to relet the Leased Premises, which duty to relet the Leased Premises shall not (i) require Landlord to give priority to the Leased Premises over other premises owned or managed by Landlord or its affiliates, (ii) require Landlord to relet for less than market rent, or (iii) require Landlord to relet to a tenant (or for a use) which is not in keeping with the first-class character of the Project. 29. NO IMPLIED WAIVER. The failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any of the terms of this Lease or to exercise any option, right, power, or remedy contained in this Lease is not a waiver of the right or remedy for the future. The waiver of any breach of this Lease or violation of the Rules and Regulations attached to this Lease does not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a breach or violation, from having all the force and effect of an original breach or violation. No express waiver affects any terms other than the ones specified in the waiver and those only for the time and in the manner specifically stated. Acceptance by Landlord of any Rent after the breach of any of the terms of this Lease or violation of any Rule or Regulation is not a waiver of the breach or violation or the right to collect applicable late charges and interest, and no waiver by Landlord of any of the terms of this Lease is effective unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. PAGE 34 <PAGE> 30. WAIVER BY TENANT. Tenant waives and surrenders for itself and all persons or entities claiming by, through, and under it, including creditors of all kinds: (A) any right and privilege which it or any of them has under any present or future constitution, statute, or rule of law to redeem the Leased Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the Lease Term after termination of Tenant's right of occupancy by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, or under the terms of this Lease; (B) the benefits of any present or future constitution, statute, or rule of law that exempts property from liability for debt or for distress for Rent; (C) any provision of law relating to notice or delay in levy of execution in case of eviction of a tenant for nonpayment of Rent; (D) any rights, privileges, and liens set out under Sections 91.004 and 93.003 of the Texas Property Code (as amended), and Tenant exempts Landlord from any liability or duty thereunder; and (E) any rights of Tenant to contest reappraisals of the Project (but not ad valorem taxes on Tenant's personal property in the Leased Premises) under Sections 41.143 and 42.015 of the Texas Tax Code (as amended). 31. ATTORNEYS' FEES AND LEGAL EXPENSES. If either party files litigation concerning the interpretation or enforcement of this Lease, the prevailing party is entitled to recover from the losing party the prevailing party's reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and expenses, whether at the trial or appellate level. 32. SUBORDINATION. (a) This Lease and all rights of Tenant under this Lease are subject and subordinate to: (1) any mortgage or deed of trust secured by a first lien against the Project; (2) all increases, renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions of any first lien mortgage or deed of trust; (3) all ground, primary, or master leases now or hereafter affecting the Building, the Project, or any portion thereof; and (4) all leases, restrictions, easements, and encumbrances recorded in the Real Property Records of Dallas County, Texas, to the extent they validly affect the Project. Tenant shall, upon demand at any time or times, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord, or to Landlord's first mortgagee or any lessor, any instruments that may be necessary or proper to more effectively effect or evidence this subordination to any first mortgage, first deed of trust, or ground, primary, or master lease. PAGE 35 <PAGE> (b) If any first mortgage or first deed of trust against the Project is foreclosed, or if any ground, primary, or master lease is terminated, Tenant shall, upon request by the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or the lessor under any ground, primary or master lease: (1) attorn to the purchaser or lessor and recognize the purchaser or lessor as "Landlord" under this Lease; and (2) execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the purchaser or lessor an instrument in appropriate form acknowledging the attornment. (c) Tenant waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law, now or hereafter in effect, that may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease if any foreclosure sale or ground, primary, or master lease termination occurs. This Lease is not affected in any way whatsoever by any foreclosure sale or ground, primary or master lease termination unless the holder(s) of the indebtedness or other obligations secured by the mortgages or deeds of trust declare otherwise. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such first mortgagee or holder of a first deed of trust or lessor under a ground, primary, or master lease shall have the right, unilaterally, at any time to fully or partially subordinate any such mortgage, deed of trust, or ground, primary or master lease or other security instruments to this Lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as such first mortgagee or ground, primary, or master lessor may consider appropriate in its sole discretion. Upon request, Tenant shall execute an instrument confirming any such full or partial subordination. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to approve any subordination and non-disturbance agreements required of Tenant, provided that Tenant hereby approves any subordination and non-disturbance agreement that is not materially different from the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement entered into by Tenant and Landlord's First Mortgagee in connection with the execution and delivery of this Lease. 33. QUIET ENJOYMENT. If Tenant pays the Rent when due and timely performs all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease, then Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Leased Premises during the Lease Term without any disturbance from Landlord or from any other person claiming by, through, or under Landlord, but not otherwise, subject to the terms of this Lease and of the deeds of trust, mortgages, ground, primary, or master leases, pedestrian tunnel agreements, PAGE 36 <PAGE> skybridge agreements, parking garage operating agreements, ordinances, leases, utility easements, and agreements affecting the Project. 34. NOTICE OF LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. If any act or omission by Landlord occurs that would give Tenant the right to damages from Landlord or the right to terminate this Lease due to constructive or actual eviction from all or part of the Leased Premises or otherwise, Tenant may not sue for damages or exercise any right to terminate until (A) it gives notice of the act or omission to Landlord and Landlord's first mortgagee, or ground, primary, or master lessor, if any, and (B) a reasonable period of time for remedying the act or omission elapses following the giving of the notice, during which time Landlord, its agents, employees, first mortgagee or ground, primary, or master lessor, are entitled to enter the Leased Premises and cure the act or omission. During the period after the giving of the notice and during the curing of the act or omission, the Rent payable by Tenant abates only to the extent that any part of the Leased Premises is untenantable. For purposes of this Paragraph, Landlord's first mortgagee's name and address for notice purposes are: Pacific-St. Paul Partners, L.P., c/o Dang Phan, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, 277 Park Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, NY 10172. 35. RULES AND REGULATIONS. All Tenant Parties must comply with the Rules and Regulations (as changed from time to time as hereinafter provided) attached as EXHIBIT C. Landlord may at any time make reasonable changes to the Rules and Regulations or promulgate other Rules and Regulations as Landlord deems advisable for the safety, care, cleanliness, or orderliness of the Project. No changes are effective until a copy of the changes is delivered to Tenant. Tenant is responsible for the compliance with the Rules and Regulations by all Tenant Parties. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to enforce compliance by all other tenants with the Rules and Regulations from time to time in effect, but Landlord is not responsible to Tenant for failure of any person to comply with the Rules and Regulations. 36. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant shall, from time to time on not less than 10 days' prior notice by Landlord, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord an Estoppel Certificate in substantially the form attached as EXHIBIT E. 37. NOTICES. All notices, requests, approvals, and other communications required or permitted to be delivered under this Lease must be in writing and are effective: PAGE 37 <PAGE> (a) on the business day sent if sent by telecopier prior to 5:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, and the sending telecopier generates a written confirmation of sending; (b) the next business day after delivery on a business day to a nationally-recognized- overnight-courier service for prepaid overnight delivery; (c) if orderly delivery of the mail is not then disrupted or threatened, in which event some method of delivery other than the mail must be used, 3 days after being deposited in the United States mail, certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (d) upon receipt if delivered personally or by any method other than by telecopier (with written confirmations nationally-recognized-overnight-courier service, or mail; in each instance addressed to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, at the address specified in Paragraph 1 of this Lease, or to any other address either party may designate by 10 days' prior notice to the other party. With respect to any default notice to Landlord, a copy of the notice must be sent on the same date as sent to Landlord to: Baker & Botts, L.L.P. 800 Trammell Crow Center 2001 Ross Avenue Dallas, Texas 75201 Attention: Jonathan W. Dunlay Telecopier No.: (214) 953-6503 38. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. (a) Tenant may not: (1) cause or permit the escape, disposal, or release in the Leased Premises or the Project of any biologically active, chemically active, or hazardous substances or materials (collectively, HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES); or (2) bring, or permit any other Tenant Party to bring, any hazardous substances into the Leased Premises or the Project. The term HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES includes, but is not limited to, those described in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq., the Texas Water Code, PAGE 38 <PAGE> the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act, and other applicable state or local environmental laws and the regulations adopted under those acts. (b) If any lender or governmental agency requires testing to ascertain whether or not a release of hazardous substances has occurred in or on the Leased Premises or the Project based on probable cause that a release occurred and was caused by any Tenant Party, then Tenant shall reimburse the reasonable costs of the testing to Landlord on demand as additional Rent. (c) Tenant shall execute affidavits, representations, and the like from time to time at Landlord's request concerning Tenant's best knowledge and belief regarding the presence of hazardous substances in the Leased Premises and the Project. (d) Tenant shall indemnify Landlord in the manner elsewhere provided in this Lease from any release of hazardous substances in or on the Leased Premises or the Project caused or permitted by any Tenant Party. (e) Landlord shall not cause or permit the escape, disposal or release in the Leased Premises or the Project of any hazardous substances in violation of law or bring any hazardous substances into the Leased Premises or the Project in violation of laws. (f) These covenants survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 39. BUSINESS PURPOSE. Tenant represents that this Lease is executed by Tenant, and all obligations of Tenant arising out of this Lease are, primarily for business or commercial purposes and not for personal, family, or household purposes. 40. SEVERABILITY. Each of the terms of this Lease is, and must be construed to be, separate and independent. If any of the terms of this Lease or its application to any person or circumstances is to any extent invalid and unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of that term to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, are not affected thereby. 41. NO MERGER. The fact that the same person may acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created or any interest in this Lease or in the leasehold estate as well as the fee estate in the Leased Premises or any interest in the fee estate does not cause a PAGE 39 <PAGE> merger of this Lease or of the leasehold estate hereby created with the fee estate in the Leased Premises. 42. FORCE MAJEURE. When this Lease prescribes a period of time for action to be taken by Landlord or Tenant, Landlord or Tenant is not liable or responsible for, and there is excluded from the computation for the period of time, any delays due to strikes, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental laws, regulations, restrictions, or any other cause of any kind that is beyond the control of Landlord or Tenant, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to Tenant's obligation to pay amounts payable under this Lease, which amounts shall be paid on the dates and within the time periods provided in this Lease without extension or delay, except as provided in Section 8(c). 43. BROKERAGE; MUTUAL INDEMNITIES. (a) Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Lease other than Tenant's Broker and Landlord's Broker (collectively, BROKERS). Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless against all costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, or other liability for commissions or other compensation or charges claimed by any broker or agent other than Brokers claiming by, through, or under Tenant with respect to this Lease or any renewal or extension or with respect to any expansion of the Leased Premises. (b) Landlord warrants that it has had no dealings with any broker or agent in connection with the negotiations or execution of this Lease other than Brokers. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, and hold Tenant harmless against all costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, or other liability for commissions or other compensation or charges claimed by any broker or agent, including Brokers, claiming by, through or under Landlord with respect to this Lease or any renewal or extension or with respect to any expansion of the Leased Premises. (c) Any brokerage commissions payable to Brokers are payable by Landlord pursuant to the terms of separate agreements between Landlord and Brokers. 44. GENDER. Words of any gender used in this Lease include any other gender and words in the singular number include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires. PAGE 40 <PAGE> 45. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If there is more than one Tenant, the obligations imposed upon Tenant under this Lease are joint and several. If Tenant is a general or limited partnership, each general partner of Tenant is jointly and severally liable for the obligations imposed upon Tenant under this Lease. 46. No REPRESENTATIONS. LANDLORD OR LANDLORD'S AGENTS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR PROMISES WITH RESPECT TO THE LEASED PREMISES OR THE PROJECT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE. NO RIGHTS, EASEMENTS, OR LICENSES ARE ACQUIRED BY TENANT BY IMPLICATION OR OTHERWISE EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE. 47. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Lease is the entire agreement between the parties. All negotiations, considerations, representations, and understandings between Landlord and Tenant are incorporated in this Lease. No act or omission of any employee or agent of Landlord or of Landlord's Broker may alter, change, or modify any of the terms of this Lease. No amendment or modification of this Lease is binding unless expressed in a written instrument executed by Landlord and Tenant. 48. PARAGRAPH HEADINGS. The paragraph headings in this Lease are for convenience only and in no way enlarge or limit the scope or meaning of the paragraphs in this Lease. 49. BINDING EFFECT. All terms of this Lease are binding upon the respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, and, to the extent assignment is permitted, assigns of Landlord and Tenant. 50. EXHIBITS. The following exhibits are attached to and made a part of this Lease: EXHIBIT A [Leased Premises], EXHIBIT B [Land], EXHIBIT C, [Project Rules and Regulations], EXHIBIT D [Contractor Insurance Requirements], EXHIBIT E [Estoppel Certificate), EXHIBIT F [Tenant Finish Construction,] and PAGE 41 <PAGE> EXHIBIT G [Janitorial Specifications] 51. COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which is deemed an original and all of which together constitute one and the same instrument. 52. RENTAL TAX. Tenant shall pay as additional Rent all licenses, charges, and other fees of every kind and nature as and when they become due arising out of or in connection with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Leased Premises and the Project (including the parking garages), including but not limited to license fees, business license taxes, and privilege, sales, excise, or other taxes (other than income) imposed upon Rent or upon services provided by Landlord or upon Landlord in an amount measured by Rent received by Landlord. 53. PARKING. (a) During the Lease Term, Landlord shall provide, twenty-seven (27) unreserved parking spaces in the Off-Site Garage and four (4) spaces in the On-Site Garage, which four (4) spaces shall, at Tenant's option, be either reserved or unreserved spaces, and, subsequent to availability, on a month-to-month basis, up to sixty (60) additional unreserved spaces in the Off-Site Garage ("Temporary Spaces"), specified by Landlord and issue to Tenant one parking access card for each parking space. As rental for the parking spaces, Tenant shall pay (i) $75.00 per month (plus any applicable sales tax) for the first twenty-four (24) months of the Lease Term, $90.00 per month (plus any applicable sales tax) for months twenty-five (25) through sixty (60) of the Lease Term, and the parking charge (plus any applicable sales tax) then imposed by Landlord thereafter for the unreserved parking spaces in the Off-Site Garage, (ii) $125.00 per month (plus any applicable sales tax) for the first twenty-four (24) months of the Lease term, $135.00 per month (plus any applicable sales tax) for months twenty-five (25) through sixty (60) of the Lease Term, and the parking charge (plus any applicable sales tax) then imposed by Landlord thereafter for the unreserved parking spaces in the On-Site Garage, and (iii) $225.00 per month (plus any applicable sales tax) for the first twenty-four (24) months of the Lease Term, $235.00 per month (plus any applicable sales tax) for months twenty-five (25) through sixty (60) of the Lease Term, and the parking charge (plus any applicable sales tax) then imposed by Landlord thereafter for the reserved parking spaces in the On-Site Garage. Prior to issuance of the parking access cards, Tenant must deliver to Landlord a list of the automobile license numbers of Tenant's employees who will be using the cards, together with Landlord's then current per card deposit. This deposit is forfeited to Landlord if any card is lost or damaged or not returned to PAGE 42 <PAGE> Landlord on request and a new deposit must be delivered to Landlord before a replacement card is issued to Tenant.

If for any reason Landlord fails or is unable to provide parking spaces to Tenant or parking spaces in the parking garage are not available for use by Tenant Parties, this failure or inability is not a default by Landlord under this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord shall not intentionally transfer the parking garages in a manner designed to terminate Tenant's parking rights. If parking spaces are not available to Tenant due to intentional acts of Landlord for more than 10 consecutive days, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to make available to Tenant sufficient substitute unassigned parking spaces (in the amount of those spaces not available to Tenant) within a one-half (1/2) mile radius until such parking spaces are again available to Tenant. (c) All Tenant Parties must comply with all traffic, security, safety, and other rules and regulations promulgated from time to time by the operator of the garage.

SECURITY DISCLAIMER. ANY SECURITY MEASURES PROVIDED BY LANDLORD MAY NOT BE TREATED BY TENANT AS A GUARANTEE AGAINST CRIME. LANDLORD DOES NOT MAKE, AND TENANT WAIVES, ANY GUARANTY OR WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO SECURITY AT THE PROJECT OR IN THE BUILDING, PAGE 43 <PAGE> OR THAT ANY SECURITY MEASURES WILL PREVENT OCCURRENCES OR CONSEQUENCES OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. ANY MECHANICAL SECURITY DEVICES CAN BE RENDERED INOPERATIVE AT ANY TIME. LANDLORD IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR A TEMPORARY FAILURE OF SUCH DEVICES. IF SUCH DEVICES ARE IN NEED OF REPAIR, TENANT WAIVES ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO LANDLORD'S REPAIR OF SUCH DEVICES. LANDLORD'S INSTALLATION OR USE OF ANY SECURITY MEASURE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A VOLUNTARY UNDERTAKING OR AGREEMENT BY LANDLORD TO PROVIDE SECURITY TO ANY TENANT PARTY. LANDLORD MAY MODIFY, REDUCE OR ELIMINATE THE USE OF ANY SECURITY MEASURE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE TO TENANT. NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR REPRESENTATIVES ARE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR ANY DISRUPTION IN THE OPERATION OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY SECURITY MEASURE. LANDLORD DOES NOT MAKE, AND TENANT WAIVES, ANY GUARANTY OR WARRANTY THAT THE PRESENCE OF ANY SECURITY MEASURE AT THE PROJECT OR IN THE BUILDING IN ANY WAY INCREASES THE PERSONAL SECURITY OF ANY TENANT PARTY OR ITS PROPERTY. LANDLORD IS NOT LIABLE TO ANY TENANT PARTY FOR ANY INJURY, DAMAGE OR LOSS WHATSOEVER WHICH IS CAUSED (A) AS A RESULT OF ANY PROBLEM, DEFECT, MALFUNCTION OR THE FAILURE OF THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY SECURITY MEASURE OR (B) BY ANY PERSON ENGAGING IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. 56. INTENTIONALLY DELETED 57. RELOCATION OF THE LEASED PREMISES. (a) At any time during the Lease Term or any renewal or extension thereof, Landlord may relocate the Leased Premises within the Building by giving Tenant at least 30 days' prior notice, subject to the following: (1) the premises being substituted for the Leased Premises (the SUBSTITUTE SPACE) may not be lower in the Building than Floor 14, must be in the same elevator bank as the Leased Premises, and must contain approximately the same number of Rentable Square Feet as the original Leased Premises; and (2) Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant's actual out-of-pocket expenses for moving Tenant's furniture, equipment, supplies, telephones, and telephone equipment from the original Leased Premises to the Substitute Space within 30 days after receipt of a certified, itemized statement of those costs, together with paid invoices therefor. PAGE 44 <PAGE> (b) Tenant may, at its option, elect either to accept possession of the Substitute Space in its "AS IS" condition on the effective date of the relocation or to require Landlord to remodel the Substitute Space in the same manner as the original Leased Premises were remodeled under the terms of EXHIBIT F. Tenant may exercise this option by giving notice to Landlord within 10 days after the date of the relocation notice from Landlord. If Landlord does not receive notice of Tenant's exercise of this option within the 10-day period, Tenant is deemed to elect to require remodeling in accordance with EXHIBIT F. (c) The Substitute Space is substituted for the original Leased Premises and becomes the Leased Premises on the Relocation Effective Date (defined below) on the same terms as under this Lease, except that if the Substitute Space contains more Rentable Square Feet than the original Leased Premises, the Minimum Rent, Tenant's Electricity Percentage, and Tenant's Excess Operating Costs Percentage increase proportionately; provided, the Minimum Rent increase is limited to a maximum increase of 5% even if the Substitute Space is more than 5% larger than the original Leased Premises. (d) The RELOCATION EFFECTIVE DATE is: (1) the date specified in Landlord's relocation notice (which date may not be less than 90 days after the date, of the notice) if Tenant elects to take the Substitute Space as-is; or (2) the date, Landlord substantially completes the remodeling of the Substitute Space, subject to the Tenant delay provisions of EXHIBIT F, if Tenant exercises or is deemed to exercise its option to cause Landlord to remodel the Substitute Space. (e) Tenant shall move from the original Leased Premises into the Substitute Space and surrender possession of the original Leased Premises to Landlord no later than the Relocation Effective Date. If Tenant continues to occupy the original Leased Premises after the Relocation Effective Date, then, Tenant shall: (1) pay Rent for both the original Leased Premises and the Substitute Space until Tenant surrenders the original Leased Premises to Landlord; and (2) pay to Landlord on demand as additional Rent any damages that Landlord incurs as a result of Tenant's failure to timely surrender the original Leased Premises, including, but not limited, to attorneys' fees and court costs incurred by Landlord in enforcing Landlord's rights under this Paragraph, together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of demand until repaid by Tenant. PAGE 45 <PAGE> 58. LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. Any claim, demand, right, or defense of Tenant arising out of this Lease is barred unless Tenant commences an action or asserts an affirmative defense within 2 years after the date of the event giving rise to Tenant's claim, demand, right, or defense. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant has consulted with legal counsel regarding the effect of this Paragraph. 59. EXECUTION AND APPROVAL OF LEASE. Employees and agents of Landlord and of Landlord's Broker have no authority to make or agree to make a lease or any other agreement or undertaking in connection herewith. The submission of this Lease for examination and negotiation is not an offer to lease, agreement to reserve, or option to lease the Leased Premises. This Lease is effective and binding on Landlord only upon the execution and delivery of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord's first mortgagee requires any modifications of the terms of this Lease as a condition to approving this Lease, other than a modification of the Minimum Rent, Tenant shall execute and deliver any required modifications within 10 days after receipt of Landlord's demand. 60. RIGHT OF FIRST NOTICE. (a) If during the Lease Term space on floor 15 of the Building (the FIRST NOTICE SPACE) is available for lease and Landlord receives an expression of interest in the First Notice Space from a prospective tenant, Landlord shall deliver a notice to Tenant offering to lease the First Notice Space to Tenant. Landlord's notice must specify the First Notice Rate (defined below). The term AVAILABLE FOR LEASE means that the First Notice Space is not then subject to any existing rights of third parties, including, without limitation, rights of first notice, expansion rights, extension rights, options to lease, or other rights. (b) Tenant may elect to lease the First Notice Space by delivering a notice (the RESPONSE NOTICE) to Landlord within 5 days after the date of Landlord's notice specifying that Tenant elects either (1) to lease all, but not less than all, of the applicable First Notice Space offered or (2) to decline to lease the applicable First Notice Space offered. (c) If (1) Landlord does not receive the Response Notice within the 5-day period or (2) in the Response Notice Tenant does not elect to lease all of the applicable First Notice Space offered, Tenant is deemed to waive its right to lease the First Notice Space and Tenant has no further rights under this Paragraph, but Tenant shall have a continuing right of first notice with respect to the First Notice Space subsequently offered on terms materially different from those contained in Landlord's notice or if PAGE 46 <PAGE> Landlord does not enter into a binding commitment with the prospective tenant within 120 days after delivery of Landlord's notice to Tenant. (d) If Tenant timely delivers a Response Notice electing to lease all of the applicable First Notice Space offered, Tenant's lease of the applicable First Notice Space commences on the earlier of the date that Tenant occupies such First Notice Space or the date 60 days after Landlord's receipt of the Response Notice and is on the same terms as this Lease except that the Rent and other applicable terms for the First Notice Space adjust based on the First Notice Rate. Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment to the Lease adding the First Notice Space to the Leased Premises upon the terms specified in this Paragraph, Tenant shall execute, and deliver the amendment to Landlord within 10 days after Tenant's receipt of the amendment, and Landlord will deliver to Tenant a counterpart of the amendment executed by Landlord. (e) Landlord is not obligated to offer the First Notice Space to Tenant, and Tenant may not exercise its option to lease the First Notice Space, if at the time Landlord would otherwise be obligated to give the Notice to Tenant, Tenant is in default under this Lease. (f) The term FIRST NOTICE RATE means the Market Rate, as defined in Paragraph 61, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion, provided the Rent components of the First Notice Rate will not be less than the Rent then being paid under this Lease. (g) Tenant may not assign this option to lease the First Notice Space to any assignee of the Lease, nor may any sublessee or assignee exercise this option. 61. OPTION TO EXTEND LEASE TERM. (a) If Tenant is not in default under this Lease at the time of the exercise of this option or at the commencement of the extended Lease Term, Tenant may extend the initial Lease Term for 2 extension terms of 5 years each commencing on the next day after the initial Expiration Date as to the first renewal term and on the next day after the expiration of the first renewal term as to the second renewal term by giving Landlord an extension notice at least 12 months, but not more than 15 months, prior to the (i) initial Expiration Date as to the first renewal option, and (ii) the expiration of the first renewal term as to the second renewal option. If Tenant timely gives a valid extension notice, the Lease Term is extended for 5 years upon the same terms as in the Lease, except that the Rent and other applicable terms adjust based on the Market Rate (defined below) and Tenant has no further option to extend the Lease Term after these option's are exercised. PAGE 47 <PAGE> (b) Within 30 days after Landlord receives Tenant's extension notice, Landlord shall deliver a notice to Tenant specifying the Market Rate. If Tenant does not approve Landlord's designation of Market Rate, then Tenant, as its sole remedy, may revoke its exercise notice by delivering a revocation notice to Landlord within 30 days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's notice specifying the Market Rate, but otherwise Tenant may not revoke its extension notice. If Tenant gives a revocation notice, the Lease Term ends on the initial Expiration Date as to the first renewal option or the expiration of the first renewal term as to the second renewal option and Tenant has no further rights under this Paragraph. (c) The term MARKET RATE means the Minimum Rent that Landlord quotes for space similar to the Leased Premises for a 5-year term commencing on the same date as the extension term, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion; provided, the Rent components of the Market Rate will not be less than the Rent being paid under this Lease at the end of the Lease Term. (d) Tenant may not assign this extension option to any assignee of the Lease, nor may any sublessee or assignee exercise this extension option. (e) If the Lease Term is extended under this Paragraph, Landlord shall prepare, and Landlord and Tenant will execute and deliver an amendment to the Lease extending the Lease Term within 30 days after Tenant's election to renew the Lease Term. This Lease is executed in multiple originals as of the date first above set forth. PAGE 48 <PAGE> LANDLORD: F/P/D Master Lease, Inc., a Texas corporation By: /s/ John B.

Landlord is not obligated to perform any Additional Work until Tenant pays Landlord the Actual Cost of the Additional Work, as estimated by Landlord. If the Actual Cost of the Additional Work exceeds the estimated amount paid by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the excess to Landlord. The Additional Work is not part of the Tenant Finish Work. If Landlord agrees to perform any Additional Work, Landlord shall request that its contractor estimate the additional amount of time that will be added to the completion of the Tenant Finish Work because of the Additional Work (the ADDITIONAL WORK PERIOD). This estimate is conclusive and binding on Landlord and Tenant for the purpose of establishing the Ready for Occupancy Date. 4.

If during construction the Actual Cost of the Tenant Finish Work exceeds the Work Allowance and all amounts previously paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to the commencement of construction, Landlord shall submit interim statements covering any excess costs incurred by Landlord under this Paragraph and Tenant shall pay the amount of the excess costs to Landlord. If the Actual Cost of the Tenant Finish Work is less than the Work Allowance, such excess, not to exceed $2.00 per rentable square foot, shall be credited against the monthly Minimum Rent first accruing after the Expansion Date hereunder. 3. ADDITIONAL WORK. If Landlord performs, at Tenant's request and upon submission by Tenant and approval by Landlord of necessary plans and specifications (as approved, the "Additional Work Plans"), any work over and above the Tenant Finish Work ("Additional Work"), including any Additional Work approved by change order or work order, the Additional Work is at Tenant's expense, to which of any remaining balance of the Work Allowance may be applied. Landlord is not obligated to perform any Additional Work until Tenant pays Landlord the Actual Cost of the Additional Work, as estimated by Landlord. If the Actual Cost of the Additional Work exceeds the estimated amount paid by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the excess to Landlord. The Additional Work is not part of the Tenant Finish Work. If Landlord agrees to perform any Additional Work, Landlord shall request that its contractor estimate the additional amount of time that will be added to the completion of the Tenant Finish Work because of the Additional Work (the "Additional Work Period"). This estimate is conclusive and binding on Landlord and Tenant for the purpose of establishing the Expansion Space Ready for Occupancy Date. 4. DELAYS: If Landlord is delayed in substantially completing the Tenant Finish Work or any Additional Work as a result of: (a) Tenant's failure to promptly and timely furnish any information required by Landlord; (b) Tenant's delay in approving the Construction Documents or in submitting any Additional Work Plans or in modifying the Additional Work Plans as required by Landlord; (c) Tenant's request for materials, finishes, or installations other than Landlord's Building standard items or for long lead items; B-2 <PAGE> (d) Tenant's changes in the Construction Documents or any Additional Work Plans; (e) interference with Landlord's work by any Tenant Party; or (f) Tenant does not timely obtain the approval, if required, of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation; then the Expansion Space Ready for Occupancy Date is accelerated by the number of days of Tenant delays. 5. EARLY ENTRY: Upon request by Tenant, Landlord shall permit Tenant and its contractors to enter the Expansion Space prior to the Expansion Space Ready for Occupancy Date, in order that Tenant may perform through its own contractor(s) (who must be approved by Landlord) other work and decorations Tenant wants in the Expansion Space while Landlord's contractors are working. This license to enter prior to the Expansion Space Ready for Occupancy Date is subject to the following conditions: (a) Tenant's contractor(s) must work in harmony and not interfere with Landlord's contractors and subcontractors; and (b) Prior to commencement of the work by Tenant's contractor(s), Tenant must deliver evidence to Landlord of compliance with the requirements of Exhibit D of the Lease. Landlord may revoke this license upon 48 hours' notice to Tenant if the entry causes disharmony or interference with the Tenant Finish Work or any Additional Work. Landlord is not liable in any way for any injury, loss, or damage that occurs to any of Tenant's decorations or installations made prior to the Expansion Space Ready for Occupancy Date, the entry being solely at Tenant's risk. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from any claims, demands, actions, losses, and damages arising from activities of Tenant's contractors, workers, and mechanics. 6. PROJECT ENGINEER: Tenant must use the fire alarm, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineer(s) of record for the Project in connection with any Tenant Finish Work or Additional Work affecting the Building's fire alarm, mechanical, electrical, or plumbing systems. Landlord shall designate from time to time (i) the mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineer of record for the Project, and (ii) the fire alarm contractor of record for the Project. 7. PAYMENTS BY TENANT: All amounts payable by Tenant under this Exhibit B are payable to Landlord as additional Rent within 10 days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's demand. B-3 <PAGE> 8. STANDARD IMPROVEMENTS; TENANT IMPROVEMENTS: For purposes of allocating repair and obligations with respect to the Expansion Space, the Standard Improvements shall include, in addition to the Standard Improvements with respect to the Expansion Space, those improvements located in the Expansion Space as of the date of this Amendment (and all other improvements in and to the Expansion Space shall be deemed to be a part of the Tenant Improvements).

Landlord's notice must specify the First Notice Rate (defined below).

Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment to the Lease adding the First Notice Space to the Leased Premises upon the terms specified in this Paragraph, Tenant shall execute, and deliver the amendment to Landlord within 10 days after Tenant's receipt of the amendment, and Landlord will deliver to Tenant a counterpart of the amendment executed by Landlord. (e) Landlord is not obligated to offer the First Notice Space to Tenant, and Tenant may not exercise its option to lease the First Notice Space, if at the time Landlord would otherwise be obligated to give the Notice to Tenant, Tenant is in default under the Lease. (f) The term FIRST NOTICE RATE means the Market Rate, as defined in Paragraph 60 of the Lease, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion, provided the Rent components of the First Notice Rate will not be less than the Rent then being paid under the Lease. -5- <PAGE> (g) Tenant may not assign this option to lease the First Notice Space to any assignee of the Lease, nor may any sublessee or assignee exercise this option. 9. Brokerage Commission. Landlord and Tenant hereby represent and warrant to each other that no commission is due and payable to any broker or other leasing agent in connection with this Amendment as a result of its own dealings with any such broker or leasing agent, except Trinity Advisory Group, Inc. ("Broker"), and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to indemnify and hold each other harmless from and against all loss, damage, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) suffered by the other party as a result of a breach of the foregoing representation and warranty. Landlord has agreed to pay Broker a commission pursuant to a separate agreement between Broker and Landlord. 10. Acceptance of Expansion Space. Tenant's occupancy of the Expansion Space is conclusive evidence that Tenant: (A) accepts the Expansion Space as suitable for the purposes for which they are leased; (B) accepts the Expansion Space as being in a good and satisfactory condition; and (C) waives any defects in the Expansion Space. 11. Full Force and Effect. In the event any of the terms of the Lease conflict with the terms of this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall control. The Lease remains in full force and effect without any further amendments, alterations, or modifications thereto, except as set forth herein, and Landlord and Tenant expressly ratify and confirm the Lease as amended hereby. The Lease, as amended by this Amendment, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto and no further modification of the Lease shall be binding unless evidenced by an agreement in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant.

Tenant's -3- <PAGE> Proportionate Share as recalculated shall be paid in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Lease. The Base Year for the purpose of calculating the Operating Costs shall remain calendar year 1998 and shall be applicable to both the Expansion Space and the Existing Space. 8. Right of First Notice.

Landlord's notice must specify the First Notice Rate (defined below). The term AVAILABLE FOR LEASE means that the First Notice Space is not then subject to any existing rights of third parties, including, without limitation, rights of first notice, expansion rights, extension rights, options to lease, or other rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during the Lease Term Landlord receives an expression of interest in all or a part of floor 20 that also includes an expression of interest in all or a part of any other floor from a prospective tenant, then Landlord shall not be obligated to offer the First Notice Space to Tenant, and Tenant may not exercise its option to lease the First Notice Space in such case. (b) Tenant may elect to lease the First Notice Space by delivering a notice (the RESPONSE NOTICE) to Landlord within 5 days after the date of Landlord's notice specifying that Tenant elects either (1) to lease all, but not less than all, of the applicable First Notice Space offered or (2) to decline to lease the applicable First Notice Space offered. (c) If (1) Landlord does not receive the Response Notice within the 5-day period or (2) in the Response Notice Tenant does not elect to lease all of the applicable First Notice Space offered, Tenant is deemed to waive its right to lease the First Notice Space and Tenant has no further rights under this Paragraph, but Tenant shall have a continuing right of first notice with respect to the First Notice Space subsequently offered on terms materially different from those contained in Landlord's notice or if Landlord does not enter into a binding commitment with the prospective tenant within 120 days after delivery of Landlord's notice to Tenant. (d) If Tenant timely delivers a Response Notice electing to lease all of the applicable First Notice Space offered, Tenant's lease of the applicable First Notice Space commences on the earlier of the date that Tenant occupies such First Notice Space or the date 60 days after Landlord's receipt of the Response Notice and is on the same terms as the Lease except that the Rent and other applicable terms for the First Notice Space adjust based on the First Notice Rate. Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment to the Lease adding the First Notice Space to the Leased Premises upon the terms specified in this Paragraph, Tenant shall execute, and deliver the amendment to Landlord within 10 days after Tenant's receipt of the amendment, and Landlord will deliver to Tenant a counterpart of the amendment executed by Landlord. -4- <PAGE> (e) Landlord is not obligated to offer the First Notice Space to Tenant, and Tenant may not exercise its option to lease the First Notice Space, if at the time Landlord would otherwise be obligated to give the Notice to Tenant, Tenant is in default under the Lease. (f) The term FIRST NOTICE RATE means the Market Rate, as defined in Paragraph 60 of the Lease, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion, provided the Rent components of the First Notice Rate will not be less than the Rent then being paid under the Lease. (g) Tenant may not assign this option to lease the First Notice Space to any assignee of the Lease, nor may any sublessee or assignee exercise this option. 9. Brokerage Commission. Landlord and Tenant hereby represent and warrant to each other that no commission is due and payable to any broker or other leasing agent in connection with this Amendment as a result of its own dealings with any such broker or leasing agent, except Trinity Advisory Group, Inc. ("Broker"), and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to indemnify and hold each other harmless from and against all loss, damage, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) suffered by the other party as a result of a breach of the foregoing representation and warranty. 10. Acceptance of Expansion Space. Tenant's occupancy of the Expansion Space is conclusive evidence that Tenant: (A) accepts the Expansion Space as suitable for the purposes for which they are leased; (B) accepts the Expansion Space as being in a good and satisfactory condition; and (C) waives any defects in the Expansion Space. 11. Full Force and Effect. In the event any of the terms of the Lease conflict with the terms of this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall control. The Lease remains in full force and effect without any further amendments, alterations, or modifications thereto except as set forth herein, and Landlord and Tenant expressly ratify and confirm the Lease as amended hereby. The Lease, as amended by this Amendment, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto and no further modification of the Lease shall be binding unless evidenced by an agreement in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. -5- <PAGE> EXECUTED the day and year first above written.
