1. LEASE AGREEMENT.
A. Lease of Premises. On the terms stated in this Lease, Landlord leases
the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant leases the Premises from Landlord, for the
Term beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the Termination Date
unless extended or sooner terminated pursuant to this Lease.
B. Determination of Rentable Square Fee. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge
and agree that the Rentable Square Footage as stated in the Schedule is an
approximation and cannot be conclusively determined until after completion of
construction of the Premises and the Building. Within sixty (60) days of the
Completion Date, the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises shall be determined
and certified in writing by Landlord's architect using the modified "BOMA"
standard, as described below. Upon Tenant's receipt of such certification, Base
Rent, Tenant's Proportionate Share and other appropriate terms contained herein
shall be adjusted accordingly. For purposes of this determination, Rentable
Square Footage for the Premises shall be the sum of (i) the square footage of
Tenant's Usable Area within the first (1st) floor of the Building plus (ii) an
"add-on factor" for Tenant's share of General Common Area and the Floor Common
Area for the 1st floor. The current estimate for the add-on-factor for the 1st
floor of the Building is 18.6 % times Tenant's Usable Area within the 1st floor.
C. Definitions.
(1) Usable Area. "Usable Area" is computed by measuring to the
finished surface of the office side of the corridor and other permanent
walls, to the center of partitions that separate the Premises from
adjoining Usable Areas, and to the inside finished surface of the
dominant portion of the permanent outer building walls. Deductions are
not made for columns and projections necessary to the building.
(2) General Common Areas. "General Common Areas" are defined as
all areas intended for use by all building tenants (including building
lobby, mailroom, elevator equipment rooms, security office and fire
sprinkler rooms).
(3) Floor Common Areas. "Floor Common Areas" are defined as all
areas for use by tenants of a single floor only, and include restrooms,
janitor's closets, mechanical, electrical, telephone rooms and building
corridors, calculated by subtracting all Usable Area on a multi-tenant
floor from the Usable Area for such floor as determined for occupancy by
a single tenant.
2. RENT.
A. Types f Rent. Tenant shall pay the following Rent in the form of a
check to Landlord at the following address:
CarrAmerica Realty, L.P.
t/a Riata Corporate Park
P.O. Box 277709

or by wire transfer as follows:

ABA Number 061-000-052
Account Number 3261312955
or in such other manner as Landlord may notify Tenant:
(1) Base Rent in monthly installments in advance, the first
monthly installment payable concurrently with the execution of this
Lease and thereafter on or before the first day of each month of the
Term in the amount set forth on the Schedule.
(2) Operating Cost Share Rent in an amount equal to the Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs for the applicable Fiscal
Year of the Lease, paid monthly in advance in an estimated amount.
Definitions of Operating Costs and Tenant's Proportionate Share, and the
method for billing and payment of Operating Cost Share Rent are set
forth in Sections 2B, 2C and 2D.
(3) Additional Rent in the amount of all costs, expenses,
liabilities, and amounts which Tenant is required to pay under this
Lease, excluding Base Rent and Operating Cost Share Rent, but including
any interest for late payment of any item of Rent.
(4) Rent as used in this Lease means Base Rent, Operating Cost
Share Rent and Additional Rent. Tenant's"agreement to pay Rent is an
independent covenant, with no right of setoff, deduction or counterclaim
of any kind.
B. Payment of Operating Cost Share Rent.
(1) Payment of Estimated Operating Cost Share Rent. Landlord
shall estimate the Operating Costs of the Project (including Taxes, as
defined below) by April 1 of each Fiscal Year, or as soon as reasonably
possible thereafter. Landlord may revise these estimates whenever it
obtains more accurate information, such as the final real estate tax
assessment or tax rate for the Project.
Within ten (10) days after receiving the original or revised
estimate from Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th)
of Tenant's Proportionate Share of the estimated Operating Costs,
multiplied by the number of months that have elapsed in the applicable
Fiscal Year to the date of such payment including the current month,
minus payments previously made by Tenant for the months elapsed. On the
first day of each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay Landlord
one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's Proportionate Share of this estimate,
until a new estimate becomes applicable.
(2) Correction of Operating Cost Share Rent. Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant a report for the previous Fiscal Year (the "Operating
Cost Report") by May 15 of each year, or as soon as reasonably possible
thereafter, setting forth (a) the actual Operating Costs incurred, (b)
the amount of Operating Cost Share Rent due from Tenant, and (c) the
amount of Operating Cost Share Rent paid by Tenant. Within twenty (20)
days after such
3
<PAGE> 12
delivery, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount due minus the amount
paid. If the amount paid exceeds the amount due, Landlord shall apply
the excess to Tenant's payments of Operating Cost Share Rent next coming
due.
C. Definitions.
(1) Included Operating Costs. "Operating Costs" means any
expenses, costs and disbursements of any kind, paid or incurred by
Landlord in connection with the management [including an annual
management fee, which shall not exceed five percent (5 %) of Rent (net
of the management fee) for such year], maintenance, operation,
insurance, repair, replacement and other related activities in
connection with any part of the Building or the Project and of the
personal property, fixtures, machinery, equipment, systems and apparatus
used in connection therewith, including the cost of providing those
services required to be furnished by Landlord under this Lease.
Operating Costs shall also include Taxes and the costs of any capital
improvements which reduce Operating Costs or improve safety, and those
made to keep the Project in compliance with governmental requirements
applicable from time to time (collectively, "Included Capital Items");
provided, that the costs of any Included Capital Item shall be amortized
by Landlord, together with an amount equal to interest at ten percent
(10%) per annum, over the estimated useful life of such item and such
amortized costs are only included in Operating Costs for that portion of
the useful life of the Included Capital Item which falls within the
Term.
If the Building is not fully occupied during any portion of any
Fiscal Year, Landlord may adjust (an "Equitable Adjustment") Operating
Costs to equal what would have been incurred by Landlord had the
Building been fully occupied. This Equitable Adjustment shall apply only
to Operating Costs which are variable and therefore increase as
occupancy of the Building increases. Landlord may incorporate the
Equitable Adjustment in its estimates of Operating Costs.
If Landlord does not furnish any particular service whose cost
would have constituted an Operating Cost to a tenant other than Tenant
who has undertaken to perform such service itself, Operating Costs shall
be increased by the amount which Landlord would have incurred if it had
furnished the service to such tenant.
(2) Excluded Operating Costs. Operating Costs shall not
include:
(a) costs of alterations of tenant premises;
(b) costs of capital improvements other than Included
Capital Items;
(c) interest and principal payments on mortgages or any
other debt costs, or rental payments on any ground lease
of the Project;
(d) real estate brokers' leasing commissions;
(e) legal fees, space planner fees and advertising expenses
incurred with regard to leasing the Building or portions
thereof;
4
<PAGE> 13
(f) any cost or expenditure for which Landlord is
reimbursed, by insurance proceeds or otherwise, except
by Operating Cost Share Rent;
(g) the cost of any service furnished to any office tenant
of the Building which Landlord does not make available
to Tenant;
(h) depreciation (except on any Included Capital Items);
(i) franchise or income taxes imposed upon Landlord, except
to the extent imposed in lieu of all or any part of
Taxes;
(j) costs of correcting defects in construction of the
Building (as opposed to the cost of normal repair,
maintenance and replacement expected with the
construction materials and equipment installed in the
Building in light of their specifications);
(k) legal and auditing fees which are for the benefit of
Landlord such as collecting delinquent rents, preparing
tax returns and other financial statements, and audits
other than those incurred in connection with the
preparation of reports required pursuant to Section 2B
above;
(l) the wages of any employee for services not related
directly to the management, maintenance, operation and
repair of the Project; and
(m) fines, penalties and interest.
(3) Taxes. "Taxes" means any and all taxes, assessments and
charges of any kind, general or special, ordinary or extraordinary,
levied against the Project, which Landlord shall pay or become obligated
to pay in connection with the ownership, leasing, renting, management,
use, occupancy, control or operation of the Project or of the personal
property, fixtures, machinery, equipment, systems and apparatus used in
connection therewith. Taxes shall include real estate taxes, personal
property taxes, sewer rents, water rents, special or general
assessments, transit taxes, ad valorem taxes, assessments by any
property owners association or under any deed or other restrictive
covenants and any tax levied on the rents hereunder or the interest of
Landlord under this Lease (the "Rent Tax"). Taxes shall also include all
fees and other costs and expenses paid by Landlord in reviewing any tax
and in seeking a refund or reduction of any Taxes, whether or not the
Landlord is ultimately successful.
For any year, the amount to be included in Taxes (a) from taxes
or assessments payable in installments, shall be the amount of the
installments (with any interest) due and payable during such year, and
(b) from all other Taxes, shall at Landlord's election be the amount
accrued, assessed, or otherwise imposed for such year or the amount due
and payable in such year. Any refund or other adjustment to any Taxes by
the taxing authority, shall apply during the year in which the
adjustment is made.
5
<PAGE> 14
Taxes shall not include any net income (except Rent Tax),
capital, stock, succession, transfer, franchise, gift, estate or
inheritance tax, except to the extent that such tax shall be imposed in
lieu of any portion of Taxes.
(4) Lease Year. "Lease Year" means each consecutive twelve-month
period beginning with the Commencement Date, except that if the
Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, then the
first Lease Year shall be the period from the Commencement Date through
the final day of the twelve months after the first day of the following
month, and each subsequent Lease Year shall be the twelve months
following the prior Lease Year.
(5) Fiscal Year. "Fiscal Year" means the calendar year, except
that the first Fiscal Year and the last Fiscal Year of the Term may be a
partial calendar year.
D. Computation of Base Rent and Rent Adjustments.
(1) Prorations. If this Lease begins on a day other than the
first day of a month, Base Rent and Operating Cost Share Rent shall be
prorated for such partial month based on the actual number of days in
such month. If this Lease begins on a day other than the first day, or
ends on a day other than the last day, of the Fiscal Year, Operating
Cost Share Rent shall be prorated for the applicable Fiscal Year.
(2) Default Interest. Any sum due from Tenant to Landlord not
paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at
eighteen percent (18%) per annum.
(3) Rent Adjustments. The square footage of the Premises and the
Building set forth in the Schedule are conclusively deemed to be the
actual square footage thereof, without regard to any subsequent
remeasurement of the Premises or the Building. If any Operating Cost
paid in one Fiscal Year relates to more than one Fiscal Year, Landlord
may proportionately allocate such Operating Cost among the related
Fiscal Years. Operating Costs allocable to the Project as a whole (as
opposed to a single building within the Project), including all
maintenance, repair, replacement, insurance, Taxes and other Operating
Costs associated with the parking and driveway areas, landscaping,
project and directional signage and other common areas within the
Project, shall be allocated among the completed buildings in the Project
based upon the relative Rentable Square Feet within such buildings, and
Operating Cost Share Rent shall include Tenant's Proportionate Share of
such Operating Costs allocated to the Building.
(4) Miscellaneous. So long as Tenant is in default of any
obligation under this Lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to any refund
of any amount from Landlord. If this Lease is terminated for any reason
prior to the annual determination of Operating Cost Share Rent, either
party shall pay the full amount due to the other within fifteen (15)
days after Landlord's notice to Tenant of the amount when it is
determined. Landlord may commingle any payments made with respect to
Operating Cost Share Rent, without payment of interest.

3. PREPARATION AND CONDITION OF PREMISES; POSSESSION SURRENDER OF
PREMISES.
A. Condition of Premises. Except to the extent of the Tenant
Improvements item on the Schedule, Landlord is leasing the Premises to Tenant
"as is", without any obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair or decorate
any part of the Premises. Landlord shall cause the Premises to be completed in
accordance with the Tenant Improvement Agreement attached as Appendix C.
B. Tenant's Possession. Tenant's taking possession of any portion of the
Premises shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises was in good order,
repair and condition. If Landlord authorizes Tenant to take possession of any
part of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date for purposes of doing
business, all terms of this Lease shall apply to such pre-Term possession,
including Base Rent at the rate set forth for the First Lease Year in the
Schedule prorated for any partial month.
C. Maintenance. Throughout the Term, Tenant shall maintain the Premises
in their condition as of the Completion Date, loss or damage caused by the
elements, ordinary wear, and fire and other casualty excepted, and at the
termination of this Lease, or Tenant's right to possession, Tenant shall return
the Premises to Landlord in broom-clean condition. To the extent Tenant fails to
perform either obligation, Landlord may, but need not, restore the Premises to
such condition and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof.
4. PROJECT SERVICES. Landlord shall furnish services as follows:
A. Heating and Air Conditioning. During the normal business hours of
7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on

occupying at least one-half (1/2) of the Rentable Square Feet of office space in
the Building, as announced from time to time by Landlord. Landlord shall furnish
heating and air conditioning to provide a comfortable temperature, in Landlord's
judgment, for normal business operations, except to the extent Tenant installs

supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises, and Tenant shall pay to
Landlord upon demand as Additional Rent the cost of installation, operation and
maintenance thereof.
Landlord shall furnish heating and air conditioning after business hours
if Tenant provides Landlord reasonable prior notice, and pays Landlord all then
current charges for such additional heating or air conditioning.

consumption for operation, without obtaining the prior written consent of
Landlord. If any or all of Tenant's equipment requires electricity consumption
in excess of that which is necessary to operate normal office equipment, such
consumption (including consumption for computer or telephone rooms and special
HVAC equipment) shall be submetered by Landlord at Tenant's expense, and Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for the cost of its submetered
consumption based upon Landlord's average cost of electricity. Such Additional

(including visitor parking spaces) for every one thousand(1,000) Rentable Square
Feet contained within the Premises. Tenant shall have no right to exclusive
parking with respect to any parking spaces within the Project, and Tenant shall
not tow cars or otherwise enforce its parking rights against third parties.
Tenant shall not allow its employees or other invitees to park within any public
streets adjacent to the Project. Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing

numbers for vehicles driven by Tenant's employees, issuance and monitoring of
parking tags or permits and/or designation of exclusive parking spaces.

machinery ceases to function properly for any cause Landlord shall use
reasonable diligence to repair the same promptly. Landlord's inability to
furnish, to any extent, the Project services set forth in this Section 4, or any
cessation thereof resulting from any causes, including any entry for repairs
pursuant to this Lease, and any renovation, redecoration or rehabilitation of
any area of the Project shall not render Landlord liable for damages to either
person or property or for interruption or loss to Tenant's business, nor be
construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor work an abatement of any portion of
Rent, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof.
However, in the event of an interruption in any of the Project services
described in Sections 4A, 4C, 4D and 4E which renders a material portion of the
Premises

<PAGE> 17
untenantable for a period of five (5) consecutive business days or more, then,
provided the restoration of such service(s) is within Landlord's reasonable
control, monthly Rent shall be abated proportionately from the date such
interruption exceeds the 5-business day period until such service(s) are
restored.
5. ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS.
A. Landlord's Consent and Conditions. Tenant shall not make any
improvements or alterations to the Premises (the "Work") without in each
instance submitting plans and specifications for the Work to Landlord and
obtaining Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant shall pay Landlord's standard
charge for review of the plans and all other items submitted by Tenant. Landlord
will be deemed to be acting reasonably in withholding its consent for any Work
which (a) impacts the base structural components or systems of the Building, (b)
impacts any other tenant's premises, or (c) is visible from outside the
Premises.
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for actual costs incurred for review of
the plans and all other items submitted by Tenant. Tenant shall pay for the cost
of all Work, provided that Work in connection with the Initial Improvements
shall be subject to the Tenant Improvement Agreement. All Work shall become the
property of Landlord upon its installation, except for Tenant's trade fixtures
and for items which Landlord requires Tenant to remove at Tenant's cost at the
termination of the Lease pursuant to Section 5E. Tenant shall designate those
items which it considers to be its trade fixtures in any request for Landlord's
approval of alterations. Any alterations not designated as such in Tenant's
request shall be deemed not to be trade fixtures. All Initial Improvements
constructed under Appendix C shall become the property of Landlord upon
installation, and shall be surrendered to Landlord with the Premises at the
termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right to possession.
The following requirements shall apply to all Work:
(1) Prior to commencement, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord
building permits, certificates of insurance satisfactory to Landlord,
and, at Landlord's request, security for payment of all costs.
(2) Tenant shall perform all Work so as to maintain peace and
harmony among other contractors serving the Project and shall avoid
interference with other work to be performed or services to be rendered
in the Project.
(3) The Work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike
manner, meeting the standard for construction and quality of materials
in the Building, and shall comply with all insurance requirements and
all applicable governmental laws, ordinances and regulations
("Governmental Requirements").
(4) Tenant shall perform all Work so as to minimize or prevent
disruption to other tenants, and Tenant shall comply with all reasonable
requests of Landlord in response to complaints from other tenants.
9
<PAGE> 18
(5) Tenant shall perform all Work in compliance with Landlord's
"Policies, Rules and Procedures for Construction Projects" in effect at
the time the Work is performed.
(6) Tenant shall permit Landlord to supervise all Work. Landlord
may charge a supervisory fee not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of
labor, material, and all other costs of the Work, if Landlord's
employees or contractors perform the Work.
(7) Upon completion, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with
contractor's affidavits and full and final statutory waivers of liens
from all contractors and subcontractors, as-built plans and
specifications, and receipted bills covering all labor and materials,
and all other close-out documentation required in Landlord's "Policies,
Rules and Procedures for Construction Projects".
B. Damage to Systems. If any part of the mechanical, electrical or other
systems in the Premises shall be damaged, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord,
and Landlord shall repair such damage. Landlord may also at any reasonable time
make any repairs or alterations which Landlord deems necessary for the safety or
protection of the Project, or which Landlord is required to make by any court or
pursuant to any Governmental Requirement. Tenant shall at its expense make all
other repairs necessary to keep the Premises, and Tenant's fixtures and personal
property, in good order, condition and repair; to the extent Tenant fails to do
so within ten (10) days after written demand by Landlord (or with no demand in
the case of an emergency), Landlord may make such repairs itself. The cost of
any repairs made by Landlord on account of Tenant's default, or on account of
the mis-use or neglect by Tenant or its invitees, contractors or agents anywhere
in the Project, shall become Additional Rent payable by Tenant on demand.
C. No Liens. Tenant has no authority to cause or permit any lien or
encumbrance of any kind to affect Landlord's interest in the Project; any such
lien or encumbrance shall attach to Tenant's interest only. If any mechanic's
lien shall be filed or claim of lien made for work or materials furnished to
Tenant, then Tenant shall at its expense within ten (10) days thereafter either
discharge or contest the lien or claim. If Tenant contests the lien or claim,
then Tenant shall (i) within such ten (10) day period, provide Landlord adequate
security for the lien or claim by bonding in accordance with the Texas Property
Code, (ii) contest the lien or claim in good faith by appropriate proceedings
that operate to stay its enforcement, and (iii) pay promptly any final adverse
judgment entered in any such proceeding. If Tenant does not comply with these
requirements, Landlord may discharge the lien or claim, and the amount paid, as
well as attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by Landlord, shall become
Additional Rent payable by Tenant on demand.
D. Ownership of Improvements. All Work as defined in this Section 5,
partitions, hardware, equipment, machinery and all other improvements and all
fixtures except trade fixtures, constructed in the Premises by either Landlord
or Tenant, (i) shall become Landlord's property upon installation without
compensation to Tenant, unless Landlord consents otherwise in writing, and (ii)
shall at Landlord's option either (a) be surrendered to Landlord with the
Premises at the termination of the Lease or of Tenant's right to possession, or
(b) be removed in accordance with Subsection 5E below (unless Landlord at the
time it gives its consent to the performance of such construction expressly
waives in writing the right to require such removal).
10
<PAGE> 19
E. Removal at Termination. Upon the termination of this Lease or
Tenant's right of possession Tenant shall remove from the Building its trade
fixtures, furniture, moveable equipment and other personal property, any
improvements which Landlord elects shall be removed by Tenant pursuant to
Section 5D, and any improvements made by Tenant to any portion of the Building
or the Project other than the Premises. Tenant shall repair all damage caused by
the installation or removal of any of the foregoing items. If Tenant does not
timely remove such property, then Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have,
at Landlord's election (i) conveyed such property to Landlord without
compensation or (ii) abandoned such property, and Landlord may dispose of or
store any part thereof in any manner at Tenant's sole cost, without waiving
Landlord's right to claim from Tenant all expenses arising out of Tenant's
failure to remove the property, and without liability to Tenant or any other
person. Landlord shall have no duty to be a bailee of any such personal
property. If Landlord elects abandonment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon
demand, any expenses incurred for removal, repair or disposition.
6. USE OF PREMISES. Tenant shall use the Premises only for general
office purposes. Tenant shall not allow any use of the Premises which will
negatively affect the cost of coverage of Landlord's insurance on the Project.
Tenant shall not allow any inflammable or explosive liquids or materials to be
kept on the Premises. Tenant shall not allow any use of the Premises which would
cause the value or utility of any part of the Premises to diminish or would
interfere with any other tenant or with the operation of the Project by
Landlord. Tenant shall not permit any nuisance or waste upon the Premises, or
allow any offensive noise or odor in or around the Premises.
If any governmental authority shall deem the Premises to be a "place of
public accommodation" under the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other
comparable law as a result of Tenant's use, Tenant shall either modify its use
to cause such authority to rescind its designation or be responsible for any
alterations, structural or otherwise, required to be made to the Building, the
Project or the Premises under such laws.
7. GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS AND BUILDING RULES. Tenant shall comply
with all Governmental Requirements applying to its use of the Premises. Tenant
shall also comply with all reasonable rules established for the Project from
time to time by Landlord. The present rules and regulations are contained in
Appendix B. Failure by another tenant to comply with the rules or failure by
Landlord to enforce them shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to comply
with the rules or make Landlord responsible to Tenant in any way. Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to apply the rules and regulations uniformly with respect
to Tenant and tenants in the Project under leases containing rules and
regulations similar to this Lease. In the event of alterations and repairs
performed by Tenant, Tenant shall comply with the provisions of Section 5 of
this Lease and also Landlord's "Policies, Rules and Regulations for Construction

case, Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises and deliver possession to
Landlord, and Landlord may repossess the Premises and may, at Tenant's sole
cost, remove any of Tenant's signs and any of its other property, without
relinquishing its right to receive Rent or any other right against Tenant.

shall pay to Landlord all Rent due on or before the date of termination, plus
Landlord's reasonable estimate of the aggregate Rent that would have been
payable from the date of termination through the Termination Date, reduced by
the rental value of the Premises calculated as of the date of termination for
the same period, taking into account anticipated vacancy prior to reletting,
reletting expenses and market concessions, both discounted to present value at
the rate of five percent (5 %) per annum. If Landlord shall relet any part of
the Premises for any part of such period before such present value amount shall
have been paid by Tenant or finally determined by a court, then the amount of
Rent payable pursuant to such reletting (taking into account vacancy prior to
reletting and any reletting expenses or concessions) shall be deemed to be the
reasonable rental value for that portion of the Premises relet during the period
of the reletting.
C. Possession Termination Damages. If Landlord terminates Tenant's right
to possession without terminating the Lease and Landlord takes possession of the
Premises itself, Landlord may relet any part of the Premises for such Rent, for
such time, and upon such terms as Landlord in its sole discretion shall
determine, without any obligation to do so prior to renting other vacant areas
in the Project. Any proceeds from reletting the Premises shall first be applied
to the expenses of reletting, including redecoration, repair, alteration,
advertising, brokerage, legal, and other reasonably necessary expenses. If the

amount of Rent under this Lease, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord
monthly upon demand as it becomes due. Any excess proceeds shall be retained by
Landlord.
D. Landlord's Remedies Cumulative. All of Landlord's remedies under this
Lease shall be in addition to all other remedies Landlord may have at law or in
equity. Waiver by Landlord of any breach of any obligation by Tenant shall be
effective only if it is in writing, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any
other breach, or any subsequent breach of the same obligation. Landlord's
acceptance of payment by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver of any breach by
Tenant, and if the acceptance occurs after Landlord's notice to Tenant, or
termination of the Lease or of Tenant's right to possession, the acceptance
shall not affect such notice or termination. Acceptance of payment by Landlord
after commencement of a legal proceeding or final judgment shall not affect such
proceeding or judgment. Landlord may advance such monies and take such other
actions for Tenant's account as reasonably may be required to cure or mitigate
any default by Tenant. Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for any such
17
<PAGE> 26
advance, and such sums shall bear interest at the default interest rate under
Section 2D(2) above until paid.
E. Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT
OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE. EACH
PARTY SHALL BRING ANY ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE IN
A FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS, CONSENTS TO THE
JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE ANY PROCEEDING
TRANSFERRED FROM SUCH COURTS ON THE GROUND OF IMPROPER VENUE OR INCONVENIENT
FORUM.

party's reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs in enforcing this Lease,
whether or not suit is filed.

condition, ordinary wear and casualty damage excepted. If Landlord requires

good and workmanlike manner and restore the Premises to its condition prior to
their installation.
15. HOLDOVER. Tenant shall have no right to holdover possession of the
Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease without Landlord's
prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole and
absolute discretion. If, however, Tenant retains possession of any part of the
Premises after the Term, Tenant shall become a month-to-month tenant for the
entire Premises upon all of the terms of this Lease as might be applicable to
such month-to-month tenancy, except that Tenant shall pay all of Base Rent and
Operating Cost Share Rent at 150% of the rate in effect immediately prior to
such holdover, computed on a monthly basis for each full or partial month Tenant
remains in possession. Tenant shall also pay Landlord all of Landlord's direct
and consequential damages resulting from Tenant's holdover. No acceptance of
Rent or other payments by Landlord under these holdover provisions shall operate
as a waiver of Landlord's right to regain possession upon demand, or any other
of Landlord's remedies.
16. SUBORDINATION TO GROUND LEASES AND MORTGAGES.
A. Subordination. This Lease shall be subordinate to any present or
future ground lease or mortgage respecting the Building or any other portion of
the Project, and any amendments to such ground lease or mortgage, at the
election of the ground lessor or mortgagee as the case may be, effected by
notice to Tenant in the manner provided in this Lease. The subordination shall
be effective upon such notice, but at the request of Landlord or ground lessor
or mortgagee, Tenant shall within ten (10) days of the request, execute and
deliver to the requesting party any reasonable documents provided to evidence
the subordination. Any mortgagee has the right, at its option, to subordinate
its mortgage to the terms of this lease, without notice to, nor the consent of,
Tenant.

<PAGE> 27
B. Termination of Ground Lease or Foreclosure of Mortgage. If any ground
lease is terminated or mortgage foreclosed or deed in lieu of foreclosure given
and the ground lessor, mortgagee, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale shall
thereby become the owner of the Building, at the option of such ground lessor,
mortgagee or purchaser, Tenant shall attorn to such ground lessor or mortgagee
or purchaser without any deduction or setoff by Tenant, and this Lease shall
continue in effect as a direct lease between Tenant and such ground lessor,
mortgagee or purchaser. The ground lessor or mortgagee or purchaser shall be
liable as Landlord only during the time such ground lessor or mortgagee or
purchaser is the owner of the Building. At the request of Landlord, ground
lessor or mortgagee, Tenant shall execute and deliver within ten (10) days of
the request any document furnished by the requesting party to evidence Tenant's
agreement to attorn.
C. Security Deposit. Any ground lessor or mortgagee shall be responsible
for the return of any security deposit by Tenant only to the extent the security
deposit is received by such ground lessor or mortgagee.
D. Notice and Right to Cure. The Building is subject to any ground lease
and mortgage identified with name and address of ground lessor or mortgagee in
Appendix D to this Lease (as the same may be amended from time to time by
written notice to Tenant). Tenant agrees to send by registered or certified mail
to any ground lessor or mortgagee identified either in such Appendix or in any
later notice from Landlord to Tenant a copy of any notice of default sent by
Tenant to Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default within the required
time period under this Lease, but ground lessor or mortgagee begins to cure
within ten (10) days after such period and proceeds diligently to complete such
cure, then ground lessor or mortgagee shall have such additional time as is
necessary to complete such cure, including any time necessary to obtain
possession if possession is necessary to cure, and Tenant shall not begin to
enforce its remedies so long as the cure is being diligently pursued.
E. Definitions. As used in this Section 16, "mortgage" shall include
"deed of trust" and "mortgagee" shall include "beneficiary" under such deed of
trust, "mortgagee" shall include the mortgagee of any ground lessee, and "ground
lessor", "mortgagee", and "purchaser at a foreclosure sale" shall include, in
each case, all of its successors and assigns, however remote.
17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE.
A. In General. Tenant shall not, without the prior consent of Landlord
in each case, (i) make or allow any assignment or transfer, by operation of law
or otherwise, of any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease, (ii) grant or
allow any lien or encumbrance, by operation of law or otherwise, upon any part
of Tenant's interest in this Lease, (iii) sublet any part of the Premises, or
(iv) permit anyone other than Tenant and its employees to occupy any part of the
Premises. Tenant shall remain primarily liable for all of its obligations under
this Lease, notwithstanding any assignment or transfer. No consent granted by
Landlord shall be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment or
transfer, lien or encumbrance, sublease or occupancy. Tenant shall pay all of
Landlord's attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any
consent requested by Tenant or in reviewing any proposed assignment or
subletting. Any assignment or transfer, grant of lien or encumbrance, or
sublease or occupancy without Landlord's prior written consent shall be void. If
Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet the
19
<PAGE> 28
Premises in its entirety any rights of Tenant to renew this Lease, extend the
Term or to lease additional space in the Project shall be extinguished thereby
and will not be transferred to the assignee or subtenant, all such rights being
personal to the Tenant named herein.
B. Landlord's Consent. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its
consent to any proposed assignment or subletting. It shall be reasonable for
Landlord to withhold its consent to any assignment or sublease if (i) Tenant is
in default under this Lease, (ii) the proposed assignee or sublessee is a tenant
in the Project or an affiliate of such a tenant or a party that Landlord has
identified as a prospective tenant in the Project, (iii) the financial
responsibility, nature of business, and character of the proposed assignee or
subtenant are not all reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (iv) in the
reasonable judgment of Landlord the purpose for which the assignee or subtenant
intends to use the Premises (or a portion thereof) is not in keeping with
Landlord's standards for the Project or the Building or are in violation of the
terms of this Lease or any other leases in the Project, (v) the proposed
assignee or subtenant is a government entity, or (vi) the proposed assignment is
for less than the entire Premises or for less than the remaining Term of the
Lease. The foregoing shall not exclude any other reasonable basis for Landlord
to withhold its consent.
C. Procedure. Tenant shall notify Landlord of any proposed assignment or
sublease at least thirty (30) days prior to its proposed effective date. The
notice shall include the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant,
its corporate affiliates in the case of a corporation and its partners in a case
of a partnership, an execution copy of the proposed assignment or sublease, and
sufficient information to permit Landlord to determine the financial
responsibility and character of the proposed assignee or subtenant. As a
condition to any effective assignment of this Lease, the assignee shall execute
and deliver in form satisfactory to Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior to
the effective date of the assignment, an assumption of all of the obligations of
Tenant under this Lease. As a condition to any effective sublease, subtenant
shall execute and deliver in form satisfactory to Landlord at least fifteen (15)
days prior to the effective date of the sublease, an agreement to comply with
all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and at Landlord's option, an
agreement (except for the economic obligations which subtenant will undertake
directly to Tenant) to attorn to Landlord under the terms of the sublease in the
event this Lease terminates before the sublease expires.
D. Transfers to Affiliates. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in this Lease, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet all or any
portion of the Premises to an Affiliate without the prior written consent of
Landlord, provided that (i) Tenant notifies Landlord at least thirty (30) days
in advance of such transfer, which notice shall include the identity of the
transferee, (ii) such transferee agrees in writing to assume and fully perform
and observe all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, (iii) Tenant is
not then in default under this Lease, and (iv) Tenant remains liable for the
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. As used herein,
"Affiliate" means any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under
common control with Tenant. "Control" as used herein means the power, directly
or indirectly, to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies
of the controlled person or entity.
E. Excess Payments. If Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet any part
of the Premises for consideration in excess of the pro-rata portion of Rent
applicable to the space
20
<PAGE> 29
subject to the assignment or sublet, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
Additional Rent 50% of any such excess immediately upon receipt.
F. Recapture. Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within
thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's notice of assignment or subletting,
terminate this Lease with respect to the space described in Tenant's notice, as
of the effective date of the proposed assignment or sublease and all obligations
under this Lease as to such space shall expire except as to any obligations that
expressly survive any termination of this Lease.
18. CONVEYANCE BY LANDLORD. If Landlord shall at any time transfer its
interest in the Building or this Lease, Landlord shall be released of any
obligations occurring after such transfer, except the obligation to return to
Tenant any security deposit not delivered to its transferee, and Tenant shall
look solely to Landlord's successors for performance of such obligations. This
Lease shall not be affected by any such transfer.
19. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of
receiving a request from Landlord, execute, acknowledge in recordable form, and
deliver to Landlord or its designee a certificate stating, subject to a specific
statement of any applicable exceptions, that the Lease as amended to date is in
full force and effect, that the Tenant is paying Rent and other charges on a
current basis, and that to the best of the knowledge of Tenant, Landlord has
committed no uncured defaults and Tenant has no offsets or claims. Tenant may
also be required to state the date of commencement of payment of Rent, the
Commencement Date, the Termination Date, the Base Rent, the current Operating
Cost Share Rent estimate, the status of any improvements required to be
completed by Landlord, the amount of any security deposit, and such other
matters as may be reasonably requested. Failure to deliver such certificate and
statement within the time required shall be conclusive evidence against Tenant
that this Lease, with any amendments identified by Landlord, is in full force
and effect, that there are no uncured defaults by Landlord, that not more than
one month's Rent has been paid in advance, that Tenant has not paid any security
deposit, and that Tenant has no claims or offsets against Landlord.
20. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord on the date of
this Lease security (the "Security Deposit") for the performance of all of its
obligations in the amount of $175,000.00, which security shall be in the form of
an unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit") (i)
in the form attached hereto as Appendix G, (ii) naming Landlord as beneficiary,
(iii) expressly allowing Landlord to draw upon it at any time from time to time
by delivering to the issuer notice that Landlord is entitled to draw thereunder,
(iv) drawable on an FDIC-insured financial institution satisfactory to Landlord,
and (v) redeemable in Austin, Texas. If Tenant does not provide Landlord with a
substitute Letter of Credit complying with all of the requirements hereof at
least ten (10) days before the stated expiration date of the current Letter of
Credit then Landlord shall have the right to draw upon the current Utter of
Credit and hold the funds drawn as the Security Deposit. Provided that no
default by Tenant shall then exist under this Lease and no event shall exist
which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would
constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease, at the end of each of the first
four (4) years of the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall accept a replacement
Letter of Credit or an amendment to the Letter of Credit pursuant to which the
Utter of Credit is reduced by $35,000.00. If Tenant defaults under this Lease,
Landlord may use any part of the Security Deposit to make any defaulted payment,
to pay for Landlord's cure of any defaulted
21
<PAGE> 30
obligation, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage resulting from any
default. To the extent any portion of the Security Deposit is used, Tenant shall
within five (5) business days after demand from Landlord restore the Security
Deposit to its full amount. If Tenant shall perform all of its obligations under
this Lease and return the Premises to Landlord at the end of the Term, Landlord
shall cause the Letter of Credit to terminate according to its terms and return
any remaining Security Deposit to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end
of the Term. The Security Deposit shall not serve as a measure of Landlord's
damages for any default under this Lease.
21. FORCE MAJEURE. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease to
the extent Landlord is unable to perform any of its obligations on account of
any strike or labor problem, energy shortage, governmental pre-emption or
prescription, national emergency, or any other cause of any kind beyond the
reasonable control of Landlord ("Force Majeure").

amendment proposed by Landlord to avoid such income, so long as the amendment
does not require Tenant to make more payments or accept fewer services from
