All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
  • Triple Net Lease. Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
  • Office Space Lease. When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease.

SECTION 1.1  LEASE OF PREMISES, COMMENCEMENT AND EXPIRATION.

1.101   LEASE OF PREMISES.  In consideration of the mutual covenants herein,
        Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord,
        subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease, the portion of
        the Building (as described in Item 1 of the Basic Lease Provisions)
        described as the Premises in Item 2 of the Basic Lease Provisions and
        that is more particularly described by the crosshatched area on Exhibit
        A attached hereto (hereinafter called the "Premises").  The agreed
        rentable area of the Premises is hereby stipulated to be the "Agreed
        Rentable Area" of the Premises set forth in Item 2b of the Basic Lease
        Provisions, irrespective of whether the same should be more or less as a
        result of minor variations resulting from construction of Tenant's
        Improvements (as defined in Exhibit D attached hereto).  The agreed
        rentable area of the Building is hereby stipulated to be the "Agreed
        Rentable Area" of the Building set forth in Item 1b of the Basic Lease
        Provisions, irrespective of whether the same should be more or less as a
        result of minor variations resulting from actual construction or repair
        of the Building.  The Building, the land (the "Land") on which the
        Building is situated (which Land is more particularly described on
        Exhibit B attached hereto) and all improvements and appurtenances to the
        Building and the Land are referred to collectively herein as the
        "Property".  The Property is part of an overall Project known as The
        Centre, Farmers Branch, Texas, currently consisting of eleven (11)
        office buildings totalling 880,940 rentable square feet, together with
        parking facilities, all of which are reflected on the drawing attached
        hereto as Exhibit B-1 (such land and all improvements located thereon
        are herein referred to as the "Project").

1.102   INITIAL TERM AND COMMENCEMENT.  The initial term of this Lease shall be
        the period of time specified in Item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions.
        The initial term shall commence on the Commencement Date (herein so
        called) set forth in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions (as such
        Commencement Date may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3 of Exhibit E
        attached hereto) and, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of
        this Lease, the initial term of this Lease shall expire, without notice
        to Tenant, on the Expiration Date (herein so called) set forth in Item 9
        of the Basic Lease Provisions (as such Expiration Date may be adjusted
        pursuant to Section 3 of Exhibit E attached hereto).


SECTION 1.2  INSPECTION AND DELIVERY OF PREMISES, CONSTRUCTION OF LEASE SPACE
IMPROVEMENTS AND POSSESSION.

1.201   DELIVERY AND COMPLETION.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant has
        inspected the Premises and the Common Area (as hereinafter defined) and,
        except for latent defects discovered and reported to Landlord by Tenant
        within 180 days from the Commencement Date, hereby (i) accepts the
        Common Areas in "as is" condition for all purposes and (ii) subject to
        Landlord's completion of its obligations under the Work Letter (herein
        so called) attached hereto as Exhibit D.  Tenant hereby accepts the
        Premises (including the suitability of the Premises for the Permitted
        Use) for all purposes.  Landlord will perform or cause to be performed
        the work and/or construction of Tenant's Improvements (as defined in the
        Work Letter) in accordance with the terms of the Work Letter and will
        use reasonable efforts to Substantially Complete (as defined in the Work
        Letter) Tenant's Improvements by the Commencement Date.  If Tenant's
        Improvements are not Substantially Complete by the Commencement Date set
        forth in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions for any reason whatsoever,
        Tenant's sole remedy shall be an adjustment of the Commencement Date and
        the Expiration Date as provided in Section 3 of the Work Letter.  The
        Premises shall be delivered to Tenant on the Commencement Date.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Landlord be unable to deliver the
        Premises to Tenant, except in the case of Tenant Delay, within sixty
        (60) days of the stated commencement in Item 8 of the Basic Lease
        Provisions, Tenant shall have the right and option to cancel this Lease.

        Tenant shall be provided access to the space for the purposes of
        installing phone and



                                       3
<PAGE>   4
        computer equipment prior to the actual Commencement Date assuming the
        Tenant Improvements are Substantially Complete.

1.202   ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES MEMORANDUM.  Upon Substantial Completion (as
        defined in the Work Letter) of Tenant's Improvements, Landlord and
        Tenant shall execute the Acceptance of Premises Memorandum (herein so
        called) attached hereto as Exhibit E.  If Tenant occupies the Premises
        without executing an Acceptance of Premises Memorandum except by reason
        of a bona fide dispute regarding the Punch List, Tenant shall be deemed
        to have accepted the Premises for all purposes and Substantial
        Completion shall be deemed to have occurred on the earlier to occur of
        (i) actual occupancy or (ii) the Commencement Date set forth in Item 8
        of the Basic Lease Provisions (as adjusted pursuant to Section 3 of the
        Work Letter).


SECTION 1.3  REDELIVERY OF THE PREMISES.  Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease or upon the exercise by Landlord of its right to
re-enter the Premises without terminating this Lease, Tenant shall immediately
deliver to Landlord the Premises free of offensive odors and in a safe, clean,
neat, sanitary and operational condition reasonable wear and tear, casualty, and
obsolescence excepted, together with all keys and parking and access cards.
Tenant shall, by the Expiration Date or, if this Lease is earlier terminated,
within seven (7) days after the termination, remove from the Premises, at the
sole expense of Tenant: (i) any equipment, machinery, trade fixtures and
personalty installed or placed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant and
(ii) if requested by Landlord, no less than thirty (30) days prior to such
termination or re-entry all or any part of the improvements (other than
Tenant's Improvements and other improvements approved by Landlord without the
requirement that same be removed upon expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease) made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant.  All removals described
above shall be accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner so as not to
damage the Premises or the primary structure or structural qualities of the
Building or the plumbing, electrical lines or other utilities.  Tenant shall,
at its expense, promptly repair any such damage caused by any such removal,
provided that in the case of improvements that Tenant is required to remove
pursuant to the second sentence of this section, Tenant shall restore the
Premises to the condition existing prior to the installation of such
improvements.  If Tenant fails to deliver the Premises in the condition
aforesaid, after Landlord has provided all necessary approvals, access and
reasonable cooperation for such restoration and/or repair then Landlord may
restore the Premises to such a condition at Tenant's expense.  All property
required to be removed pursuant to this Section not removed within time period
required hereunder shall thereupon be conclusively presumed to have been
abandoned by Tenant and Landlord may, at its option, take over possession of
such property and either (a) declare the same to be the property of Landlord by
written notice to Tenant at the address provided herein or (b) at the sole cost
and expense of Tenant, remove and store and/or dispose of the same or any part
thereof in any manner that Landlord shall choose without incurring liability to
Tenant or any other person.

SECTION 1.4  HOLDING OVER.  In the event Tenant or any Party under Tenant
claiming rights to this Lease, retains possession of the Premises after the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, such possession shall
constitute and be construed as a tenancy at will only, subject, however, to all
of the terms, provisions, covenants and agreements on the part of Tenant
hereunder; such parties shall be subject to immediate eviction and removal and
Tenant or any such Party shall pay Landlord as rent for the period of such
holdover an amount equal to one and one-half (1-1/2) times the Basic Annual
Rent and Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined) in effect immediately
preceding expiration or termination, as applicable, prorated on a daily basis.
Tenant shall also pay any and all damages sustained by Landlord as a result of
such holdover.  The rent during such holdover period shall be payable to
Landlord from time to time on demand; provided, however, if no demand is made
during a particular month, holdover rent accruing during such month shall be
paid in accordance with the provisions of Article 2.  In the event of a
holdover, Tenant will vacate the Premises and deliver same to Landlord
immediately upon Tenant's receipt of notice from Landlord to so vacate.  No
holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall
operate to extend the term of this Lease; no payments of money by Tenant to
Landlord after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall
reinstate, continue or extend the term of this Lease; and no extension of this
Lease after the expiration or earlier termination thereof shall be valid unless
and until the same shall be reduced to writing and signed by both Landlord and
Tenant.

Agreement, which monthly installments shall commence on the Commencement Date
and shall continue on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter.
If the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar
month or the Expiration Date occurs on a day other than the last day of a
calendar month, the Basic Monthly Rent for such partial month shall be prorated.

        measured by the rental reserved hereunder or on Landlord's business of
        leasing the Premises, excepting only Landlord's net income, franchise,
        or similar taxes.


        (d)  "Permitted Capital Pass Through Costs" shall mean the following
        costs and expenses incurred by Landlord from and after January 1, 1998:
        (i) the cost of any capital improvement made to the Property by Landlord
        that is required under any governmental law or regulation which was not
        promulgated, or which was promulgated but was not applicable to the
        Building, at the time the Building was constructed, amortized over its
        useful life in accordance with GAAP, together with an amount equal to
        interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (the "Amortization
        Rate") on the unamortized balance thereof, (ii) the cost of any
        labor-saving or energy-saving device or other equipment installed in the
        Building (provided Landlord reasonably anticipates that the installation
        thereof will reduce Operating Expenses), amortized over its useful life
        in accordance with GAAP, together with an amount equal to interest at
        the Amortization Rate on the unamortized balance thereof, and (iii) all
        other capital costs and expenses consisting of new or upgraded items in
        amounts not to exceed $10,000.00 which would generally be regarded as
        ownership, operating, maintenance and management costs and expenses
        which would normally be amortized over a period not to exceed five
        (5) years.




                                       5
<PAGE>   6
2.202   GROSS-UP.  Operating Expenses shall be adjusted to include all
        additional costs and expenses for owning, operating, maintaining and
        managing the Building which Landlord reasonably determines that it would
        have incurred, paid or been obligated to pay during such year if the
        Building had been one hundred percent (100%) occupied.  Real Estate
        Taxes shall be adjusted to include the ad valorem taxes that would have
        been assessed if the Building had been fully assessed for ad valorem tax
        purposes.

2.203   PAYMENT OBLIGATION.  In addition to the Basic Rent specified in this
        Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Additional Rent, in each
        calendar year or partial calendar year during the term of this Lease,
        payable in monthly installments as hereinafter provided.  On or prior to
        the Commencement Date and at least thirty (30) days prior to each
        calendar year thereafter (or as soon thereafter as is reasonably
        possible), Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Tenant's
        estimated Additional Rent (as reasonably estimated by Landlord) for the
        applicable calendar year and the amount of the monthly installment due
        for each month during such year.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the
        Commencement Date and on the first day of each month thereafter the
        amount of the applicable  monthly installment, without demand, offset or
        deduction, provided, however, if the applicable installment covers a
        partial month, then such installment shall be prorated on a daily basis.
        Within ninety (90) days after the end of (i) each calendar year and (ii)
        the Expiration Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible,
        Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant a statement showing
        Tenant's actual Additional Rent for the applicable calendar year,
        provided that with respect to the calendar year in which the Expiration
        Date occurs, (x) that calendar year shall be deemed to have commenced on
        January 1 of that year and ended on the Expiration Date (the "Final
        Calendar Year") and (y) Landlord shall have the right to estimate the
        actual Operating Expenses allocable to the Final Calendar Year but
        which are not determinable within such ninety day period.  If Tenant's
        total monthly payments of Additional Rent for the applicable year are
        less than Tenant's actual Additional Rent, then Tenant shall pay to
        Landlord the amount of such underpayment.  If Tenant's total monthly
        payments of Additional Rent for the applicable year are more than
        Tenant's actual Additional Rent, then Landlord shall credit against the
        next Additional Rent payment or payments due from Tenant the amount of
        such overpayment, provided, however, with respect to the Final Calendar
        Year, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of such excess payments,
        less any amounts then owed to Landlord.  Unless Tenant takes written
        exception to any item within ninety (90) days after the furnishing of an
        annual statement, such statement shall be considered as final and
        accepted by Tenant. Any amount due Landlord as shown on any such
        statement shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) day after it is
        furnished to Tenant (See Rider No. 7 attached hereto).

2.204   REVISIONS IN ESTIMATED ADDITIONAL RENT.  If Real Estate Taxes, Insurance
        Premiums, Utility Expenses or Permitted Capital Pass Through Costs
        increase during a calendar year or if the number of square feet of
        rentable area in the Premises increases, Landlord may revise the
        estimated Additional Rent during such year by giving Tenant written
        notice to that effect and thereafter Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in
        each of the remaining months of such year, an additional amount equal to
        the amount of such increase in the estimated Additional Rent divided by
        the number of months remaining in such year.

SECTION 2.3 RENT DEFINED AND NO OFFSETS.  Basic Annual Rent, Additional Rent
and all other sums (whether or not expressly designated as rent) required to
be paid to Landlord by Tenant under this Lease (including, without limitation,
any sums payable to Landlord under any addendum, exhibit, rider or schedule
attached hereto) shall constitute rent and are sometimes collectively referred
to as "Rent".  Each payment of Rent shall be paid by Tenant when due, without
prior demand therefor and without deduction or setoff, except as provided in
this Lease Agreement.

SECTION 2.4 LATE CHARGES.  If any installment of Basic Annual Rent or
Additional Rent or any other payment of Rent under this Lease shall not be paid
within ten (10) days of the date when due, a "Late Charge" of five cents ($.05)
per dollar so overdue may be charged by Landlord to defray Landlord's
administrative expense incident to the handling of such overdue payments.  Each
Late Charge shall be payable on demand.

                                SECURITY DEPOSIT

Tenant will pay Landlord on the date this Lease is executed by Tenant the
Security Deposit set forth in Item 10 of the Basic Lease Provisions as security
for the performance of the terms hereof by Tenant.  Tenant shall not be
entitled to interest thereon and Landlord may commingle such Security Deposit
with any other kinds of Landlord.  The Security Deposit shall not be considered
an advance payment of rental or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of
default by Tenant.  If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this
Lease, which is not cured within the applicable cure period, Landlord may, but
shall not be required to, from time to time, without prejudice to any other
remedy, use, apply or retain all or any part of this Security Deposit for the
payment of any Rent or any other sum in default or for the Payment of any other
amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of
Tenant's default or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which
Landlord may suffer by reason of



                                       6
<PAGE>   7
Tenant's default, including, without limitation, costs and attorneys' fees
incurred by Landlord to recover possession of the Premises. If Tenant shall
fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by
it, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant within sixty (60) days
after the Expiration Date. Tenant agrees that it will not assign or encumber or
attempt to assign or encumber the monies deposited herein as the Security
Deposit and that Landlord and its successors and assigns shall not be bound by
any such actual or attempted assignment or encumbrance. Regardless of any
assignment of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord may return the Security Deposit to
the original Tenant, in the absence of evidence satisfactory to Landlord of an
assignment of the right to receive the Security Deposit or any part of the
balance thereof.

                               OCCUPANCY AND USE

SECTION 4.1 USE OF PREMISES.

4.101   GENERAL. The Premises shall, subject to the remaining Provisions of this
        Section, be used solely for the purpose specified in Item 12 of the
        Basic Lease Provisions. Without in any way limiting the foregoing,
        Tenant will not use, occupy or permit the use or occupancy of the
        Premises for any purpose which is forbidden by or in violation of any
        law, ordinance or governmental or municipal regulation, order, or
        certificate of occupancy, or which may be dangerous to life, limb or
        property; or permit the maintenance of any public or private nuisance;
        or do or permit any other thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of
        any other tenant of the Building; or keep any substance or carry on or
        permit any operation which might emit offensive odors or conditions from
        the Premises; or commit or suffer or permit any waste in or upon the
        Premises; or sell, purchase or give away, or permit the sale, purchase
        or gift of food in any form by or to any of Tenant's agents or employees
        or other parties in the Premises except through vending machines in
        employee lunch or rest areas within the Premises for use by Tenant's
        employees only; or use any apparatus which might make undue noise or set
        up vibrations in the Building; or permit anything to be done which would
        increase the fire and extended coverage insurance rate on the Building
        or Building contents and, if there is any increase in such rate by
        reason of acts of Tenant, then Tenant agrees to pay such increase upon
        demand therefor by Landlord. Payment by Tenant of any such rate increase
        shall not be a waiver of Tenant's duty to comply herewith. Tenant shall
        indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and all costs, expenses
        (including reasonable attorneys' fees), claims and causes of action
        arising from Tenant's failure to comply with this Section without
        limitation upon Landlord's obligation under Section 5.105. Tenant shall
        keep the Premises neat and clean at all times. Tenant shall promptly
        correct any violation of a governmental law, rule or regulation relating
        to the Premises.  Tenant shall comply with any direction of any
        governmental authority having jurisdiction which imposes any duty upon
        Tenant or Landlord with respect to the Premises or with respect to the
        occupancy or use thereof.

4.102   HAZARDOUS AND TOXIC MATERIALS.

        (a)  Tenant shall not knowingly incorporate into, or use or otherwise
        place or dispose of at, the Premises, the Building or on the Land any
        hazardous or toxic materials, except for use and storage of cleaning and
        office supplies used in the ordinary course of Tenant's business and
        then only if (i) such materials are in small quantities, properly
        labeled and contained, (ii) such materials are handled and disposed of
        in accordance with the highest accepted industry standards for safety,
        storage, use and disposal, (iii) notice of and a copy of the current
        material safety data sheet is provided to Landlord for each such
        hazardous or toxic material and (iv) such materials are used,
        transported, stored, handled and disposed of in accordance with all
        applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. Landlord shall have
        the right to periodically inspect, take samples for testing and
        otherwise investigate the Premises for the presence of hazardous or
        toxic materials. Landlord shall not knowingly dispose of at the
        Premises, Building or the Land any hazardous or toxic materials and
        shall otherwise deal with all hazardous or toxic materials at the
        Premises, Building or Land in a manner that will not materially and
        adversely affect Tenant's access, use or occupancy of the Premises. If
        Landlord or Tenant ever has knowledge of the presence in the Premises or
        the Building or the Land of hazardous or toxic materials which affect
        the Premises, the party having knowledge shall notify the other party
        thereof in writing promptly after obtaining such knowledge. For purposes
        of this Lease, hazardous or toxic materials shall mean asbestos
        containing materials ("ACM") and all other materials, substances, wastes
        and chemicals classified as hazardous or toxic substances, materials,
        wastes or chemicals under then-current applicable governmental laws,
        rules or regulations or that are subject to any right-to-know laws or
        requirements.

        (b)  Prior to commencement of any tenant finish work to be performed by
        Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to make such studies and
        investigations and conduct such tests and surveys of the Premises from
        an environmental standpoint as permitted under Rider H-2 attached
        hereto. If Tenant requests that Landlord commence construction of
        Tenant's Improvements prior to 



                                       7
<PAGE>   8
        exercising such right, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived the
        termination right set forth in Rider H-2.

        (c)  If Tenant or its employees, agents or contractors shall ever
        violate the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subsection 4.102 or
        otherwise contaminate the Premises or the Property, then Tenant shall
        clean-up, remove and dispose of the material causing the violation, in
        compliance with all applicable governmental standards, laws, rules and
        regulations and then prevalent industry practice and standards and shall
        repair any damage to the Premises or Building within such period of time
        as may be reasonable under the circumstances after written notice by
        Landlord. Tenant shall notify Landlord of its method, time and procedure
        for any clean-up or removal and Landlord shall have the right to require
        reasonable changes in such method, time or procedure or to require the
        same to be done after normal business hours. Tenant's obligations under
        this subsection 4.102(c) shall survive the termination of this Lease.
        Tenant represents to Landlord that, except as has been disclosed to
        Landlord, Tenant has never been cited for or convicted of any hazardous
        or toxic materials violations under applicable laws, rules or
        regulations.

Tenant.

        abatement or reduction of Rent by reason of; Landlord's failure to
        maintain temperature or electrical constancy levels or to furnish any of
        the foregoing services when such failure is caused by accident,

        dispute of any character, governmental regulation, moratorium or other
        governmental action, inability by exercise of reasonable diligence to

        the obligation to perform any covenant or agreement herein and in no
        event shall Landlord be liable for damage to persons or property

         agents or employees, Tenant shall be entitled to a fair partial
         abatement of Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent for any such portion
         of the Premises from the failure of such service until such portion is
         again fit for occupancy until such service is restored.

        connection with such maintenance, repairs, replacements, damage or
        injury or Tenant's breach of its obligations under this subsection
        6.201. All repairs and replacements performed by or on behalf of Tenant
        shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance
        with the standards applicable to alterations or improvements performed
        by tenant. Tenant shall continue to pay Rent, without abatement, during

        performed by Tenant under this Section 6.2.

        repairs performed by Tenant as Landlord has with respect to improvements
        and alterations performed by Tenant under subsection 6.303 below. In the
        event Tenant fails, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, to maintain
        the Premises in good order, condition and repair, or otherwise satisfy
        its repair and replacement obligations under subsection 6.201 above,
        after five (5) days written notice, Landlord shall have the right to
        perform such maintenance, repairs and replacements at tenant's expense.
        Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand any such cost or expense incurred
        by Landlord, together with interest thereon at the rate specified in
        Section 15.10 below from the date of demand until paid.

        obligation under this Lease is as set forth in the Work Letter attached

        Building and (v) repair, change, modify, alter, improve, renovate or

        changes, modifications, alterations, additions or improvements (other
        than Tenant's Improvements under the Work Letter) to, or install any
        equipment or machinery (other than office equipment and unattached
        personal property) on, the Premises (all such changes, modifications,
        alterations, additions, improvements (other than Tenant's Improvements
        under the Work Letter) and installations approved by Landlord are herein
        collectively referred to as "Installations") if any such Installations
        would (i) affect structural or load bearing portions of the Premises,
        (ii) result in a material increase of electrical usage above the normal
        type and amount of electrical current to be provided by Landlord, (iii)
        result in a material increase in Tenant's usage of heating or air

        provision in Article 4 above or Rider H-1 or Rider H-2 attached hereto.
        As to Installations not covered by the preceding sentence, Tenant will
        not perform same without the prior written consent of Landlord, which
        consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All Installations
        shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Without in any way limiting
        Landlord's consent rights, Landlord shall not be required to give its
        consent until (a) Landlord approves the contractor or person making such
        Installations and approves such contractor's insurance coverage to be
        provided in connection with the work, (b) Landlord approves final and
        complete plans and specifications for the work and (c) the appropriate
        governmental agency, if any, has approved the plans and specifications

        overhead. Each payment shall be made to Landlord within ten (10) days
        after receipt of an invoice from Landlord. All Installations that
        constitute improvements constructed within the Premises shall be

        from any and all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees),
        demands, claims, causes of action and liens arising from or in
        connection with any Installations performed by or on behalf of Tenant.
        All Installations performed by or on behalf of Tenant will be performed
        diligently and in a first-class workmanlike manner and in compliance
        with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and rules of any
        public authority having jurisdiction over the Building and/or Tenant's
        and Landlord's insurance carriers. Landlord will have the right, but not
        the obligation, to inspect periodically the work on the Premises and may
        reasonably require changes in the method or quality of the work.

        engineers) of any of Tenant's contractors or Tenant's drawings, plans or
        specifications which are prepared in connection with any construction of
        improvements (including without limitation, Tenant's Improvements) in
        the Premises shall not in any way be construed as or constitute a
        representation or warranty of Landlord as to the abilities of the
        contractor or the adequacy or sufficiency of such drawings, plans or
        specifications or the improvements to which they relate, for any use,
        purpose or condition.

                          INSURANCE, FIRE AND CASUALTY

SECTION 7.1     TOTAL OR PARTIAL DESTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING OR THE PREMISES. In
the event that the Building should be totally destroyed by fire or other
casualty or in the event the Building (or any portion thereof) should be so
damaged that rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed, in Landlord's
reasonable opinion, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such
damage, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease, in which event Basic
Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of
this Lease effective with the date of such damage. Landlord shall exercise the
termination right pursuant to the preceding sentence, if at all, by delivering
written notice of termination to Tenant within ten (10) days after determining
that the repairs cannot be completed within such one hundred eighty (180) day
period. In the event that the Premises should


                                       11
<PAGE>   12
be so damaged by fire or other casualty that rebuilding or repairs cannot be
completed, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, within one hundred eighty (180)
days after the date of such damage, Tenant may, at its option terminate this
Lease, in which event Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated
during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective the date of such damage.
Tenant shall exercise the termination right pursuant to the preceding sentence,
if at all, by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord within
fifteen (15) days after being advised by Landlord that the repairs cannot be
completed within such one hundred eighty (180) day period. In the event the
Building or the Premises should be damaged by fire or other casualty and, in
Landlord's reasonable opinion, the rebuilding or repairs can be completed within
one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such damage, or if the damage
should be more serious but neither Landlord nor Tenant elect to terminate this
Lease pursuant to this Section, in either such event Landlord shall, within
sixty (60) days after the date of such damage, commence to rebuild or repair the
Building and the Premises (including Tenant's Improvements, but only to the
extent of insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for the repair of
Tenant's Improvements), and shall pursue with reasonable diligence the repair
and restoration of the Building and the Premises to substantially the same
condition which existed immediately prior to the happening of the casualty,
except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any
part of the furniture, equipment, fixtures, inventory, supplies or any other
personalty or any other improvements (except Tenant's Improvements, but only to
the extent of insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for the repair of
Tenant's Improvements) which may have been placed by Tenant or other tenants
within the Building or at the Premises. Landlord shall allow Tenant a fair
diminution of Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent during the time the Premises
are unfit for occupancy; provided, that if such casualty was caused by Tenant,
its agents, employees, licensees or invitees, Basic Annual Rent and Additional
Rent shall be abated only to the extent Landlord is compensated for such Basic
Annual Rent and Additional Rent by loss of rents Insurance, if any.
Notwithstanding Landlord's restoration obligation, in the event any mortgagee
under a deed of trust, security agreement or mortgage on the Building should
require that the insurance proceeds be used to retire or reduce the mortgage
debt or if the insurance company issuing Landlord's fire and casualty insurance
policy fails or refuses to pay Landlord the proceeds under such policy, Landlord
shall have no obligation to rebuild and this Lease shall terminate upon notice
by Landlord to Tenant. Any insurance which may be carried by Landlord or Tenant
against loss or damage to the Building or to the Premises shall be for the sole
benefit of the party carrying such insurance and under its sole control.

SECTION 7.4     WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.

Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives any rights it may have against the other
(including, but not limited to, a direct action for damages) on account of any

not such loss or damage is caused by the fault, negligence or other tortious
conduct, acts or omissions of Landlord or Tenant or their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents or invitees), to their respective property, the
Premises, its contents or to any other portion of the Building or the Property
arising from any risk covered by the current Texas State Board of Insurance
promulgated form of property insurance and fire and extended coverage insurance
required to be carried by Tenant and Landlord, respectively, under subsections
7.201(b) and 7.301(b) above. If a party waiving rights under this Section is
carrying a fire and extended coverage insurance policy in the promulgated form
used in the State of Texas and an amendment to such promulgated form is passed,
such amendment shall be deemed not a part of such promulgated form until it
applies to the policy being carried by the waiving party. Without in any way
limiting the foregoing waivers and to the extent permitted by applicable law,
the parties hereto each, on behalf of their respective insurance companies
insuring the property of either Landlord or Tenant against any such loss, waive
any right of subrogation that Landlord or Tenant or their respective insurers
may have against the other party or their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents or invitees and all rights of their respective insurance
companies based upon an assignment from its insured. Each party to this Lease
agrees immediately to give to each such insurance company written notification
of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this Section and to have said
insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation
of said insurance coverage by reason of said waivers. The foregoing waiver
shall be effective whether or not the parties maintain the required insurance.

        Landlord shall not include any Claim waived by Tenant under Section 7.4
        above, any Claim to the extent caused by the negligence, gross
        negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Claim relating to

SECTION 8.1  CONDEMNATION RESULTING IN CONTINUED USE NOT FEASIBLE.  If the
Property or any portion thereof that, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, is
necessary to the continued efficient and/or economically feasible use of the

or sold to a condemning authority in lieu of taking, then the term of this
Lease shall, at the option of Landlord, forthwith cease and terminate.

SECTION 8.2  TOTAL CONDEMNATION OF PREMISES.  In the event that all or
substantially all of the Premises is taken or condemned or sold in lieu thereof
or Tenant will be unable to use a substantial portion of the Premises for
a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days by reason of a temporary
taking, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering
written notice thereof to the other within ten (10) business days after the
taking, condemnation or sale in lieu thereof.

SECTION 8.3  CONDEMNATION WITHOUT TERMINATION.  If upon a taking or condemnation
or sale in lieu of the taking of all or less than all of the Property which
gives either Landlord or Tenant the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to

termination right, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect,
provided that, if the taking, condemnation or sale includes any portion of the
Premises, the Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall be redetermined on the
basis of the remaining square feet of Agreed Rentable Area of the Premises.
Landlord, at Landlord's sole option and expense, shall restore and reconstruct
the Building to substantially its former condition to the extent that the same
may be reasonably feasible, but such work shall not be required to exceed the
scope of the work done by Landlord in originally constructing the Building, nor
shall Landlord in any event be required to spend for such work an amount in

above amounts going to the mortgagee of the property taken) for the part of the
Building or the Premises so taken.

from such authority through a separate award which does not reduce Landlord's
award, any compensation as may be awarded to Tenant on account of moving and
relocation expenses and depreciation to and removal of Tenant's physical

                                     LIENS

Tenant shall keep the Premises free from all liens arising out of any work
performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant and
Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims,
causes of action, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees),
arising from or in connection with any such liens. In the event that Tenant
shall not, within TWENTY (20) DAYS following notification to Tenant of the
imposition of any such lien, cause the same to be released of record by payment
or the posting of a bond in amount, form and substance acceptable to Landlord,
Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by
law, the right but not the obligation, to cause the same to be released by such
means as it shall deem proper, including payment of or defense against the claim
giving rise to such lien. All amounts paid or incurred by Landlord in connection
therewith shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand and shall bear interest
from the date of demand until paid at the rate set forth in Section 15.10 below.
Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way

as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, by
inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialman
for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any
specific improvement, alteration or repair of or to the Building or the Premises
or any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to
contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any
materials that would give rise to the filing of any mechanic's or other liens
against the interest of Landlord in the Property or the Premises.

                           TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY

Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay, prior to their becoming delinquent,
any and all taxes and assessments levied against, and any increases in Real
Estate Taxes as a result of; any personal property or trade or other fixtures
placed by Tenant in or about the Premises and any improvements (other than
Tenant's Improvements) constructed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant. In
the event Landlord pays any such additional taxes or increases, Tenant will,
within ten (10) days after demand, reimburse Landlord for the amount thereof.

                            SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNING

SECTION 11.1    SUBLEASE AND ASSIGNMENT. Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or
allow it to be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise
or mortgage or pledge the same, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof or
permit the Premises to be occupied by any firm, person, partnership or
corporation or any combination thereof, other than Tenant, without the prior
written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
In no event shall any assignment or sublease ever release Tenant from any
obligation or liability hereunder. No assignee or sublessee of the Premises or
any portion thereof may assign or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof.
Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments or sublettings shall not operate
as a waiver of Landlord's rights as to any subsequent assignments and/or
sublettings. All reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with any assignment or sublease proposed by Tenant will be the
responsibility of Tenant and will be paid by Tenant within five (5) days of
receipt of an invoice from Landlord.

SECTION 11.2    LANDLORD'S RIGHTS RELATING TO ASSIGNEE OR SUBTENANT. If this
Lease or any part hereof is assigned or the Premises or any Premises thereof are
sublet, Landlord may at its option collect directly from such assignee or
sublessee all rents becoming due to Tenant under such assignment or sublease and
apply such rent against any sums due to Landlord by Tenant hereunder. Tenant
hereby authorizes and directs any such assignee or sublessee to make such
payments of rent direct to Landlord upon receipt of notice from Landlord and
Tenant agrees that any such payments made by an assignee or sublessee to
Landlord shall, to the extent of the payments so made, be a full and complete
release and discharge of rent owed to Tenant by such assignee or sublessee. No
direct collection by Landlord from any such assignee or sublessee shall be
construed to constitute a novation or a release of Tenant or any guarantor of
Tenant from the further performance of its obligations hereunder. Receipt by
Landlord of rent from any assignee, sublessee or occupant of the Premises or any
part thereof shall not be deemed a waiver of the above covenant in this Lease
against assignment and subletting or a release of Tenant under this Lease. in
the event that, following an assignment or subletting, this Lease or the rights
and obligations of Tenant hereunder are terminated for any reason, including
without limitation in connection with default by or bankruptcy of Tenant (which,
for the purposes of this Section 11.2, shall include all persons or entities
claiming by or through Tenant), Landlord may, at its sole option, consider this
Lease to be thereafter a direct lease to the assignee or subtenant of Tenant
upon the terms and conditions contained in this Lease.

                         TENANT'S ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

SECTION 12.1    SALE OF THE PROPERTY. In the event of a sale or conveyance by
Landlord of the Property, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any
and all liability under this Lease arising after the date of such sale, provided
the purchasee is a fully capitalized, ongoing bona fide business entity, which 
in writing assumes all obligations of Landlord hereunder including without 
limitation all obligations regarding the Security Deposit.

SECTION 12.2    SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND NOTICE. This Lease is subject and
subordinate to (i) any lease wherein Landlord is the tenant and to the liens of
any and all mortgages and deeds of trust, regardless of whether such lease,
mortgage or deed of trust now exists or may hereafter be created with regard to
all or any part 



                                       15
<PAGE>   16

of the Property, (ii) any and all advances (including interest thereon) to be
made under any such lease, mortgage or deed of trust and (iii) all
modifications, consolidations, renewals, replacements and extensions of any
such lease, mortgage or deed of trust; provided that the foregoing
subordination in respect of any mortgage or deed of trust placed on the
Property after the date hereof shall not become effective until and unless
the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust delivers to Tenant a
non-disturbance agreement (which may include Tenant's agreement to attorn as
set forth below) permitting Tenant, if Tenant is not then in default under, or
in breach of any provision of, this Lease, to remain in occupancy of the
Premises in the event of a foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust
upon the terms and conditions herein contained. Tenant also agrees that any
lessor, mortgagee or trustee may elect (which election shall be revocable) to
have this Lease superior to any lease or lien of its mortgage or deed of trust
and, in the event of such election and upon notification by such lessor,
mortgagee or trustee to Tenant to that effect, this Lease shall be deemed
superior to the said lease, mortgage or deed of trust, whether this Lease is
dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said lease, mortgage or deed of
trust. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant shall, in the event of the sale or
assignment of Landlord's interest in the Premises (except in a sale-leaseback
financing transaction), or in the event of the termination of any lease in a
sale-leaseback financing transaction wherein Landlord is the lessee, attorn to
and recognize such purchaser, assignee or mortgagee as Landlord under this
Lease. Tenant shall, in the event of any proceedings brought for the
foreclosure of, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under, any
mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises, attorn to and recognize
purchaser at such sale, assignee or mortgagee, as the case may be, as Landlord
under this Lease. The above subordination and attornment clauses shall be
self-operative (Subject to the proviso herein contained) and no further
instruments of subordination or attornment need be required by any mortgagee,
trustee, lessor, purchaser or assignee. In confirmation thereof, Tenant agrees
that, upon the request of Landlord, or any such lessor, mortgagee, trustee,
purchaser or assignee, Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever instruments
may be required for such purposes and to carry out the intent of this Section
12.2. Landlord acknowledges to Tenant, that as of the date of this Lease and as
of the Commencement Date, the Property, or any part thereof, shall be subject
to no ground lease, mortgage, or deed of trust.

SECTION 12.3  TENANTS ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.  Tenant shall, upon the request of
Landlord or any mortgagee of Landlord, without additional consideration,
deliver an estoppel certificate, consisting of reasonable statements required
by Landlord, any mortgagee or purchaser of any interest in the Property, which
statements may include but shall not be limited to the following: this Lease is
in full force and effect, with rental paid through ___________________________;
this Lease has not been modified or amended; and Landlord is not in default and
Landlord has fully performed all of Landlord's obligations hereunder. If Tenant
is unable to make any of the statements contained in the estoppel certificate
because the same is untrue, Tenant shall with specificity state the reason why
such statement is untrue. Tenant shall, if requested by Landlord or any such
mortgagee, deliver to Landlord a fully executed instrument in form reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord evidencing the agreement of Tenant to the mortgage or
other hypothecation by Landlord of the interest of Landlord hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE 13
                                    DEFAULT

SECTION 13.1    DEFAULTS BY TENANT.  The occurrence of any of the events

                Rent not made by Tenant when due in any twelve (12) month
                period, the failure by Tenant to make either such payment to
                Landlord within three (3) business days after Tenant receives
                written notice specifying that the Payment was not made when
                due. With respect to any other payment of Rent, the failure by
                Tenant to make such payment of Rent to Landlord when due, no
                notice of any such failure being required.

13.102          FAILURE TO PERFORM.  Except for a failure covered by subsection
                13.101 above or 13.103 below, any failure by Tenant to observe
                and perform any provision of this Lease to be observed or
                performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30)
                days after written notice to Tenant, provided that if such
                failure cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period,
                Tenant shall not be in default hereunder so long as Tenant
                commences curative action within such thirty (30) day period,
                diligently and continuously pursues the curative action and
                fully and completely cures the failure within sixty (60) days
                after such written notice to Tenant.

13.103          CONTINUAL FAILURE TO PERFORM.  The third failure by Tenant in
                any twelve (12) month period to perform and observe a particular
                provision of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant
                (other than the failure to pay Rent, which in all instances will
                be covered by subsection 13.101 above), no notice being required
                for any such third failure.

                obligations as they become due, (ii) becomes or is declared
                insolvent according to any law, (iii) makes a transfer in fraud

                benefit of creditors or (v) Tenant files a petition for relief
                under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other present or future
                federal or state insolvency, bankruptcy or similar law
                (collectively, "applicable bankruptcy law"); a receiver or


                                       16
<PAGE>   17
        trustee is appointed for Tenant or its property; the interest of Tenant
        under this Lease is levied on under execution or under other legal
        process; any involuntary petition is filed against Tenant under
        applicable bankruptcy law; or any action is taken to reorganize or
        modify Tenant's capital structure if either Tenant be a corporation or
        other entity (provided that no such levy, execution, legal process or
        petition filed against Tenant shall constitute a breach of this Lease if
        Tenant shall vigorously contest the same by appropriate proceedings and
        shall remove or vacate the same within ninety (90) days from the date of
        its creation, service or filing).

13.105  ABANDONMENT.  The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.

13.106  VACATION.  The vacating of the Premises by Tenant, which shall be
        conclusively presumed if Tenant is absent from the Premises for ten (10)
        consecutive days (other than during a period the Premises are unfit
        for occupancy) or more or if Tenant shall fail to move into or take
        possession of the Premises within ten (10) days after the date on which
        Rent is to commence under the terms of this Lease.

13.107  LOSS OF RIGHT TO DO BUSINESS.  If Tenant is a corporation or limited

13.108  DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION.  If Tenant is a corporation or partnership,
        Tenant dissolves or liquidates or otherwise fails to maintain its
        corporate or partnership structure, as applicable.

With respect to the defaults described in subsections 13.103 through 13.108,
Landlord shall not be obligated to give Tenant notices of default and Tenant
shall have no right to cure such defaults.

SECTION 13.2 REMEDIES OF LANDLORD.  Upon the occurrence of any default by Tenant
specified in Section 13.1 above, Landlord, at its option, may in addition to all
other rights and remedies provided herein or at law or in equity, exercise one
or more of the remedies set forth in subsections 13.201, 13.202 or 13.203 below.

13.201  TERMINATION OF THE LEASE.  Upon the occurrence of a default by Tenant
        hereunder, Landlord may, without judicial process, terminate this Lease
        by giving written notice thereof to Tenant (whereupon all obligations
        and liabilities of Landlord hereunder shall terminate) and, without
        further notice and without liability, repossess the Premises. Landlord
        shall be entitled to recover all loss and damage Landlord may suffer by
        reason of such termination, whether through inability to relet the
        Premises on satisfactory terms or otherwise, including without
        limitation, the following (without duplication of any element of
        damages):

        (a)  accrued Rent to the date of termination and Late Charges, plus
        interest thereon at the rate established under Section 15.10 below from
        the date due through the date paid or date of any judgment or award by
        any court of competent jurisdiction, the unamortized cost of Tenant's
        Improvements, brokers' fees and commissions, attorneys' fees, moving
        allowances and any other costs incurred by Landlord in connection with
        making or executing this Lease, the cost of recovering the Premises and
        the costs of reletting the Premises (including, without limitation,
        advertising costs, brokerage fees, leasing commissions, reasonable
        attorneys' fees and refurbishing costs and other costs in readying the
        Premises for a new tenant);

        (b)  the Present Value of the Rent (discounted at a rate of interest
        equal to eight Percent [8%] per annum [the "Discount Rate"]) that would
        have accrued under this Lease for the balance of the Lease term but for
        such termination, reduced by the reasonable fair market rental value of
        the Premies for such balance of the Lease term (determined from the
        present value of the actual base rents, discounted at the Discount Rate,
        received and to be received from Landlord's reletting of the Premises,
        or, if the Premises are not relet, the base rents, discounted at the
        Discount Rate, that would be received from a comparable lease and
        comparable tenant for a comparable term and taking into account among
        other things, the condition of the Premises, market conditions and the
        period of time the Premises may reasonably remain vacant before Landlord
        is able to re-lease the same to a suitable replacement tenant, it being
        agreed that Landlord shall have no obligation to relet or attempt to
        relet the Premises);

        (c)  plus any other costs or amounts necessary to compensate Landlord
        for its damages.

13.202  REPOSSESSION AND RE-ENTRY.  Upon the occurrence of a default by Tenant
        hereunder, Landlord may, without judicial process, immediately terminate
        Tenant's right of possession of the Premises (whereupon all obligations
        and liability of Landlord hereunder shall terminate), but not terminate
        this Lease, and, without notice, demand or liability, enter upon the
        Premises or any part thereof, take absolute possession of the same,
        expel or remove Tenant and any other person or entity who may be
        occupying the Premises and change the locks. If Landlord terminates
        Tenant's possession of the Premises under this subsection 13.202, (i)
        Landlord shall have no


                                       17
<PAGE>   18
        obligation whatsoever to tender to Tenant a key for new locks installed
        in the Premises, (ii) Tenant shall have no further right to possession
        of the Premises and (iii) Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever
        to relet or attempt to relet the Premises.  Landlord may, however, at
        its sole option relet the Premises or any part thereof for such terms
        and such rents as Landlord may in its sole discretion elect.  If
        Landlord elects to relet the Premises, rent received by Landlord from
        such reletting shall be applied first, to the payment of any
        indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord (in
        such order as Landlord shall designate), second, to the payment of any
        cost of such reletting, including, without limitation, refurbishing
        costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, advertising costs, brokerage fees and
        leasing commissions and third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid
        hereunder (in such order as Landlord shall designate), and Tenant shall
        satisfy and pay to Landlord any deficiency upon demand therefor from
        time to time.  Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any
        failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof or for any failure to
        collect any rent due upon any such reletting.  No such re-entry or
        taking of possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as
        an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease unless a written
        notice of such termination is given to Tenant pursuant to subsection
        13.201 above.  If Landlord relets the Premises, either before or after
        the termination of this Lease, all such rentals received from such lease
        shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and Tenant shall
        not be, at any time, entitled to recover any such rental.  Landlord may
        at any time after a reletting elect to terminate this Lease.

13.203  CURE OF DEFAULT.  Landlord may, without judicial process, enter upon the
        Premises, without having any liability therefor and so whatever Tenant
        is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease and Tenant agrees to
        reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur
        in effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and
        Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages
        resulting to Tenant from such action, whether caused by the negligence
        of Landlord or otherwise.

13.204  CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS.  No repossession of or re-entering upon the
        Premises or any part thereof pursuant to subsection 13.202 or 13.203
        above or otherwise and no reletting of the Premises or any part thereof
        pursuant to subsection 13.202 above shall relieve Tenant of its
        liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such
        repossession or re-entering.  In the event of any such repossession or
        re-entering upon the Premises or any part thereof by reason of the
        occurrence of a default, Tenant will continue to pay to Landlord Rent
        required to be paid by Tenant.

13.205  CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or
        reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
        remedy and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in
        addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or
        hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.  In addition to
        the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled,
        to the extent permitted by applicable law, to injunctive relief in case
        of the violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the
        covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to a
        decree compelling performance of any of the covenants, agreements,
        conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to any other remedy allowed
        to Landlord at law or in equity.

SECTION 13.3 DEFAULTS BY LANDLORD.  Except as set forth in Section 5.4,
Landlord shall be in default under this Lease if Landlord fails to perform any
of its obligations hereunder and said failure continues for a period of thirty
(30) days after Tenant delivers written notice thereof to Landlord (to each of
the addresses required by this Section) and each mortgagee who has a lien
against any portion of the Property and whose name and address has been
provided to Tenant, provided that if such failure cannot reasonably be cured
within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not be in default hereunder
if the curative action is commenced within said thirty (30) day period and is
thereafter diligently pursued until cured.  Except as set forth in Section 5.4,
in no event shall (i) Tenant claim a constructive or actual eviction or that
the Premises have become unsuitable hereunder or (ii) a constructive or actual
eviction or breach of the implied warranty of suitability be deemed to have
occurred under this Lease, prior to the expiration of the notice and cure
periods provided under this Section 13.3.  Any notice of a failure to perform
by Landlord shall be sent to Landlord at the addresses and to the attention of
the parties set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions.  Any notice of a failure
to perform by Landlord not sent to Landlord at all addresses and/or to the
attention of all parties required under this Section and to each mortgagee who
is entitled to notice or not sent in compliance with Article 14 below shall be
of no force or effect.

SECTION 13.4 LANDLORD'S LIABILITY.

13.401  TENANT'S RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF LANDLORD DEFAULT.  Tenant is granted no
        contractual right of termination by this Lease, except to the extent 
        and only to the extent set forth in Sections 5.4, 7.1, 8.2 and 12.2 
        above and Rider H-2 attached hereto.  In the event that Landlord 
        commits a default hereunder, Tenant may pursue any remedies available 
        to Tenant at law or in equity; provided, however, Landlord's liability
        hereunder shall be limited as provided in Section 13.402 hereof. If 
        Tenant shall recover a money judgment against Landlord, such

                                       18
<PAGE>   19
        judgment shall be satisfied only out of the right, title and interest of
        Landlord in the Property as the same may then be encumbered and Landlord
        shall not be liable for any deficiency. If Landlord is found to be in
        default hereunder by reason of its failure to give a consent that it is
        required to give hereunder, Tenant's sole remedy will be an action for
        specific performance or injunction. The foregoing sentence shall in no
        event be construed as mandatorily requiring Landlord to give consents
        under this Lease. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for
        consequential or special damages by reason of a failure to perform (or a
        default) by Landlord hereunder or otherwise. In no event shall Tenant
        have the right to levy execution against any property of Landlord other
        than its interest in the Property as hereinbefore expressly provided.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Tenant shall also have the right
        to satisfy a judgment against Landlord out of (a) the proceeds collected
        by Landlord or which Landlord has the right to collect from any insurer
        with respect to damage or destruction of all or any part of the Project;
        (b) the proceeds of any sale of all or any part of Landlord's right,
        title and interest in all or any part of the Project; (c) the proceeds
        of any loan secured in whole or in part by the project or all or any
        part of Landlord's right, title or interest in the Project; and (d) any 
        and all rents collected by Landlord or which Landlord has the right to
        collect with respect to all or any part of the Project.

13.402  CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. Unless covered by
        subsection 7.502 above or caused by Landlord's gross negligence or
        willful misconduct, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any
        claims, actions, demands, costs, expenses, damage or liability of any

        Tenant's residence and that, with respect to this Lease, Tenant is a
        business consumer as that term is used in the DTPA (i.e. Tenant is an
        individual, partnership or corporation who seeks or acquires by purchase
        or lease, any goods or services for commercial or business use).

        (d) Landlord and Tenant agree that the total consideration paid or to be

        counsel sign this Lease in the space provided on the signature page
        hereof. Tenant further represents that it has knowledge and experience
        in financial and business matters that enable it to evaluate the merits
        and risks of this transaction.

        (f) Landlord and Tenant hereby agree, for themselves, their agents,
        property managers, brokers and contractors and their respective heirs,
        personal representatives, successors and assigns, that all of the
        provisions of the DTPA (except for Section 17.555 thereof) which 



                                       19

SECTION 15.1    BUILDING NAME AND ADDRESS.  Tenant shall not, without the
written consent of Landlord, use the name of the Building for any purpose other

which the Building is known.

the Premises.  REFERENCE IS MADE TO RIDER NO. 5.

SECTION 15.3    NO WAIVER.  No waiver by Landlord or by Tenant of any provision
of this Lease shall be deemed to be a waiver by either party of any other
provision of this Lease.  No waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant shall
be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same or any other
provision.  No waiver by Tenant of any breach by Landlord shall be deemed a
waiver of any subsequent breach by Landlord of the same or any other
provision.  The failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist at any time upon the
strict performance of any covenant or agreement or to exercise any option,

<PAGE>   21
waiver or a relinquishment thereof for the future. Landlord's consent to or
approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall
not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord's consent to or
approval of any subsequent act of Tenant. Tenant's consent to or approval of
any act by Landlord requiring Tenant's consent or approval shall not be deemed
to render unnecessary the obtaining of Tenant's consent to or approval of any
subsequent act of Landlord. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's
agents during the term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a
surrender of the Premises, unless done in writing signed by Landlord. The
delivery of the keys to any employee or agent of Landlord shall not operate as
a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises. The acceptance of
any Rent by Landlord following a breach of this Lease by Tenant shall not
constitute a waiver by Landlord of such breach or any other breach. The payment
of Rent by Tenant following a breach of this Lease by Landlord shall not
constitute a waiver by Tenant of any such breach or any other breach. No waiver
by Landlord or Tenant of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have
been made unless such waiver is expressly stated in writing signed by the
waiving party. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount
than stated in writing signed by the waiving party. No payment by Tenant or
receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of Rent due
under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest
Rent due hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any
letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and
satisfaction and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to
Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy
which may be available to Landlord.

Texas (the "Building").  Pursuant to subsection 1.201 of the Supplemental Lease
Provisions, Landlord and Tenant are entering into this Work Letter (this
"Agreement").  Any capitalized term not defined herein shall have the meaning
assigned to it in the Supplemental Lease Provisions.  Landlord and Tenant
mutually agree as follows:

1.      Plans.

1.1     Approved Plans.  Landlord and Tenant have agreed that the Premises will
be improved in accordance with the plans and specifications (or description
thereof) approved and initialed by Landlord and Tenant (the "Construction
Plans" and all improvements required thereby, "Tenant's Improvements").  Tenant
represents to Landlord that Tenant has furnished to Landlord and the party
preparing the Construction Plans all information necessary such that (following
construction of Tenant's Improvements in accordance with the Construction
Plans) Tenant, the Premises and Tenant's Improvements will be in compliance
with the Disability Acts.  Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord
from and against any and all claims, liabilities and expenses (including,
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by or
asserted against Landlord by reason of or in connection with any violation of
the Disability Acts by Tenant and/or Tenant's Improvements.  The foregoing
indemnity shall not include any claims, liabilities or expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) arising out of the negligence or
gross negligence of Landlord or Landlord's employees, agents or contractors.

1.2     Changes to Approved Plans.  If any re-drawing or re-drafting of either
the Space Plan or the Construction Plans is necessitated by Tenant's requested
changes (all of which shall be subject to Landlord's approval), the expense of
any such re-drawing or re-drafting required in connection therewith and the
expense of any work and improvements necessitated by such re-drawing or
redrafting will be charged to Tenant.

1.3     Coordination of Planners and Designers.  If Tenant shall arrange for
interior design services, whether with Landlord's space planner or any other
planner or designer, it shall be Tenant's responsibility to cause necessary
coordination of its agents' efforts with Landlord's agents to ensure that no
delays are caused to either the planning or construction of the Tenant's
Improvements.

2.      Construction and Cost of Tenant's Improvements.

2.1     Construction Obligation and Finish Allowance.  Landlord agrees to
construct, based upon the lowest of five (5) competitive bids for such work,
Tenant's Improvements, at Tenant's cost and expense; provided, however,
Landlord shall provide Tenant with an allowance up to $7.00 per square foot of
Agreed Rentable Area (the "Finish Allowance"), which allowance shall be
disbursed by Landlord, from time to time, for payment of (in the following
priority) (i) the contract sum required to be paid to the general contractor
engaged to construct Tenant's Improvements (the "Contract Sum"), (ii) the fees
of the preparer of the Construction Plans and (iii) payment of the Construction
Management Fee (hereinafter defined).  Upon completion of Tenant's Improvements
and in consideration of Landlord administering the construction of Tenant's
Improvements, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord a fee equal to five percent (5%) of
the Contract Sum to construct Tenant's Improvements (the "Construction
Management Fee") (the foregoing costs are collectively referred to as the
"Permitted Costs").

2.2     Excess Costs.  If the sum of the Permitted Costs exceeds the Finish
Allowance, then Tenant shall pay all such excess costs ("Excess Costs"),
provided, however, Landlord will, prior to the commencement of construction of
Tenant's Improvements, advise Tenant of the Excess Costs, if any, and the
Contract Sum.  Tenant shall have two (2) business days from and after the
receipt of such advice within which to approve or disapprove the Contract Sum
and Excess Costs.  If Tenant fails to approve same by the expiration of the
second such business day, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the
Proposed Contract Sum and Excess Costs.  If Tenant disapproves the Contract Sum
and Excess Costs within such two (2) business day period, then Tenant shall
either reduce the scope of Tenant's Improvements such that there shall be no
Excess Costs or, at Tenant's option, Landlord shall obtain two (2) additional
bids, provided that each day beyond such two (2) business day period and until
the rebid is accepted by Tenant shall constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder.
Subject to the last sentence of this subsection, the foregoing process shall
continue until a Contract Sum and resulting Excess Costs, if any, are accepted
or deemed accepted by Tenant.  Landlord and Tenant must approve (or be deemed to
have approved the Contract Sum for the construction of Tenant's Improvements in
writing prior to the commencement of construction.  If Tenant fails to accept a
Contract Sum by November 25, 1996, Landlord shall have the right to terminate
this Lease.

2.3     Liens Arising from Excess Costs.  Tenant agrees to keep the Premises
free from any liens arising out of nonpayment of Excess Costs.  In the event
that any such lien is filed and Tenant, within ten (10) days following such

                                       25
<PAGE>   30
filing fails to cause same to be released of record by payment or posting of a
proper bond, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided
herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause the same to be
released by such means as it in its sole discretion deems proper, including
payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to such lien.  All sums
paid by Landlord in connection therewith shall constitute Rent under the Lease
and a demand obligation of Tenant to Landlord and such obligation shall bear
interest at the rate provided for in Section 15.10 of the Supplemental Lease
Provisions from the date of payment by Landlord until the date paid by Tenant.

2.4     Construction Deposit.  Tenant shall remit to Landlord an amount (the
"Prepayment") equal to the projected Excess Costs, if any, within five (5)
working days after commencement of construction by Landlord.  On or prior to
the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the actual Excess
Costs, minus the Prepayment previously paid.  Failure by Tenant to timely
tender to Landlord the full Prepayment shall permit Landlord to stop all work
until the Prepayment is received.  All sums due Landlord under this Section 2.4
shall be considered Rent under the terms of the Lease and nonpayment shall
constitute a default under the Lease and entitle Landlord to any and all
remedies specified in the Lease.

3.      Delays.  Delays in the completion of construction of Tenant's
Improvements or in obtaining a certificate of occupancy, if required by the
applicable governmental authority, caused by Tenant, Tenant's Contractors
(hereinafter defined) or any person, firm or corporation employed by Tenant or
Tenant's Contractors shall constitute "Tenant Delays".  In the event that
Tenant's Improvements are not Substantially Complete by the Commencement Date
referenced in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions, then the Commencement Date
referenced in Item 8 shall be amended to be the Adjusted Substantial Completion
Date (hereinafter defined) and the Expiration Date referenced in Item 9 of the
Basic Lease Provisions shall be adjusted forward by the same number of days as
is the Commencement Date, so that the term of the Lease will be the term set
forth in Item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions.  The Adjusted Substantial
Completion Date shall be the date Tenant's Improvements are Substantially
Complete, adjusted backward, however, by one day for each day of Tenant Delays,
if any.  The foregoing adjustments in the Commencement Date and the Expiration
Date shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy in the event Tenant's
Improvements are not Substantially Complete by the initial Commencement Date
set forth in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions.

4.      Substantial Completion and Punch List.  The terms "Substantial
Completion" and "Substantially Complete," as applicable, shall mean when
Tenant's Improvements are completed in accordance with the Construction Plans
subject only to minor items ("Punch List Items") which may be completed in a
manner so that Tenant can reasonably use the Premises for the Permitted Use (as
described in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Provisions) without material
interruption.  When Landlord considers Tenant's Improvements to be
Substantially Complete, Landlord will notify Tenant and within two (2) business
days thereafter, Landlord's representative and Tenant's representative shall
conduct a walk-through of the Premises and identify any necessary touch-up work
repairs and minor completion items as are necessary for final completion of
Tenant's Improvements.  Neither Landlord's representative nor Tenant's
representative shall unreasonably withhold his agreement on punch list items.
Landlord will use reasonable efforts to cause the contractor to complete all
punch list items within thirty (30) days after agreement thereon.

5.      Tenant's Contractors.  If Tenant should desire to enter the Premises or
authorize its agent to do so prior to the Commencement Date of the Lease, to
perform approved work not requested of the Landlord, Landlord shall permit such
entry if:

        (a)     Tenant shall use only such contractors which Landlord shall
                approve in its reasonable discretion and Landlord shall have
                approved the plans to be utilized by Tenant, which approval will
                not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and

        (b)     Tenant, its contractors, workmen, mechanics, engineer, space
                planners or such others as may enter the Premises (collectively,
                "Tenant's Contractors"), work in harmony with and do not in any
                way disturb or interfere with Landlord's space planners,
                architects, engineers, contractors, workmen, mechanics or other
                agents or independent contractors in the performance of their
                work (collectively, "Landlord's Contractors"), it being
                understood and agreed that if entry of Tenant or Tenant's
                Contractors would cause, has caused or is causing a material
                disturbance to Landlord or Landlord's Contractors, then Landlord
                may, with notice, refuse admittance to Tenant or Tenant's
                Contractors causing such disturbance; and

        (c)     Tenant (notwithstanding the first sentence of subsection 7.201
                of the Supplemental Lease Provisions), Tenant's Contractors and
                other agents shall provide landlord sufficient evidence that
                each is covered under such Workers' Compensation, public
                liability and property damage insurance as Landlord may
                reasonably request for its protection.

Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage to any of Tenant's
installations or decorations made prior to the Commencement Date and not
installed by Landlord's contractors.  Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless
Landlord and Landlord's Contractors from and against any and all costs,
expenses, claims, liabilities and causes of action arising out of or in
connection with work performed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant (but
excluding work performed by Landlord or Landlord's Contractors).  Landlord is
not responsible for the function and maintenance of improvements, equipment,
cabinets or fixtures not installed by Landlord.  Such entry by Tenant and
Tenant's Contractors pursuant to this Section 5 shall be deemed to be under all
of the terms, covenants, provisions and


                                       26
<PAGE>   31
conditions of the Lease except the covenant to pay Rent.

coordination of construction and approval of change orders will be as follows,

                                 RENEWAL OPTION

        occupies and the Premises then consist of at least all the original
        Premises and (iii) this Lease is in full force and effect, then Tenant,

        an option to renew this Lease for one (1) additional term of five (5)
        years (the "Renewal Term") upon the same terms and conditions contained

        months of the initial term of the Lease. The Renewal Rental Rate is
        hereby defined to mean the then prevailing rents (including, without
        limitation, those similar to the Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent)
        payable by renewal tenants having a credit standing substantially
        similar to that of Tenant, for properties of equivalent quality, size,

                        TENANT'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

Prior to leasing any of the area described on Schedule A attached to this Rider
("Right of First Refusal Space"), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written
statement ("Statement") which shall reflect Landlord's and the prospective
tenant's agreement with respect to rent, term, finish allowances, tenant
inducements and the description of the applicable Right of First Refusal Space.
Tenant shall have five (5) business days after receipt of the Statement within
which to notify Landlord in writing that it desires to lease the applicable
Right of First Refusal Space upon the terms and conditions contained in the
Statement. Failure by Tenant to notify Landlord within such five (5) business
day period shall be deemed an election by Tenant not to lease the applicable
Right of First Refusal Space at that time and Landlord shall have the right to
lease such space to the proposed tenant upon the terms and conditions contained
in the Statement. Should a lease not be consummated with the proposed tenants,
the aforementioned rights will remain in full force and effect.

Notwithstanding the above, Tenant's right of opportunity on the First Right of
Refusal Space will be subordinate to any and all existing renewal, expansion
and refusal rights of existing tenants.

Furthermore, Landlord shall have the right to renew, expand, or extend the
lease of any existing tenant in the Building without offering such premises to
Tenant pursuant to this Rider No. 3.

Landlord agrees to use its best efforts to provide Tenant with as much notice
as possible as it relates to non-renewing tenants.

If a statement reflecting annual Operating Expenses is delivered to Tenant
pursuant to subsection 2.202 of the Supplemental Lease Provisions, Tenant shall

shall be conducted by a certified Public accountant and further provided that
the auditor's report reflecting the results of such audit shall be promptly
delivered to Landlord. Any such audit shall be conducted, if at all, (i) within
ninety (90) days after the receipt of the annual statement of actual Additional
Rent from Landlord, (ii) during Landlord's normal business hours, (iii) at the
place where Landlord maintains its records (or such other place as Landlord

undercharged in the audited calendar year and provided Landlord agrees with
such audit, Tenant shall within twenty (20) days after receipt of such report
pay to Landlord the amount of any underpayment or, if applicable, Landlord
shall allow Tenant a credit against the next accruing installment of Additional

expressly stated in the next following sentence, Landlord makes no
representations or warranties whatsoever (express or implied) to Tenant
regarding (x) the Survey (including, without limitation, the contents, accuracy
and/or scope thereof) or the Written Report or (y) the presence or absence of
hazardous or toxic materials or wastes in, at, or under the Premises or the
Property, Landlord is not aware of (i) any written reports or surveys concerning
the Building other than the Written Report and the Survey on file with the
Property Manager and (ii) any fact that makes the Written Report or Survey
inaccurate in any material respect. Tenant (a) shall not rely on and has not
relied on the Survey or the Written Report, the same having been provided for
information purposes only and (b) acknowledges that Tenant has taken such
actions as Tenant deems appropriate to fairly evaluate the Premises and has
otherwise satisfied itself that the Premises are acceptable and suitable from an
environmental perspective without limiting Landlord's obligations under the
Lease. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a complete and legible copy of any
study, report, test, survey or investigation performed by or on behalf of Tenant
at any time involving the Premises and shall fully restore all areas and
improvements where samples were taken or work was performed and repair all
damage resulting from any of the same and shall indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from any against all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses,
injuries or deaths in connection with or arising out of or from any inspection,
testing, sampling or similar or dissimilar activity conducted by or on behalf of

                 TENANT'S STUDY, TESTING AND INSPECTION RIGHTS

Prior to commencement of any tenant finish work to be performed by Landlord,
Tenant shall have the right to make such studies and investigations and conduct
such tests and surveys of the Premises from an environmental standpoint as
Tenant deems necessary or appropriate, subject to the condition that all such
studies and investigations shall be completed prior to the commencement of any
tenant finish work to be performed by Landlord. Tenant shall restore the Premies
and hold Landlord harmless from and indemnify Landlord against all loss, damages
and claims resulting from or relating to Tenant's studies, tests and
investigations. If such study, test, investigation or survey evidences hazardous
or toxic materials which effect the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease provided such right shall be exercised, if at all, prior to
the commencement of any tenant finish work to be performed by Landlord and
within five (5) days after Tenant receives the evidence of hazardous or toxic
materials. If Tenant does not exercise such right prior to commencement of any
such tenant finish work and within such five (5) day period, Tenant's right to
terminate this Lease shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.
