Should Tenant make a partial payment of past due amounts, the amount of such partial payment shall be applied first to reduce all accrued and unpaid late charges, in inverse order of maturity, and then to reduce all other past due amounts, in inverse order of their maturity. 5.

the ownership or voting rights in a controlling interest of the voting stock of Tenant (if Tenant is a corporation), (vi) the transfer of a general partnership interest or the transfer of twenty-five percent (25%) of the limited partnership interests in Tenant (if Tenant is a partnership), (vii) the merger or consolidation of Tenant with or into any other corporation or entity, or (viii) a sale or transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of Tenant's assets, at any time throughout the term of this Lease shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease. 8. HOLDING OVER In the event that Tenant shall not immediately surrender the Premises on the date of expiration of the term, Tenant shall by virtue of the provisions hereof, become a Tenant by the month at the monthly rental rate of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the then current rental amount. Continued occupancy after the expiration of the term of this Lease shall not create a new Lease, and Tenant shall be required to enter into a new Lease in order to preserve any rent rate other than the holdover rate established in the preceding sentence. 9. NOTICES AND TERMINATION All notices or other communications hereunder required shall be by mail, return receipt requested or hand delivered, (i) to Landlord, at Spicewood Professional Offices, at 4408 Spicewood Springs Road, Austin, Texas 77859, and (ii) to Tenant, at 4408 Spicewood Springs Road, Austin, Texas 77859, unless notice of a change of address is given pursuant to the provisions of this article. Mailed notices shall be presumed received three (3) days after mailing. Tenant must give Landlord at least sixty (60) days notice of Tenant's intent to vacate the Premises in all cases (with the termination date to always be on the last day of the month after sixty (60) days), whether at the end of the lease Term, any extension, or thereafter. Landlord may terminate the lease with sixty (60) days notice if the building is sold or if more than thirty percent (30%) of the leasable office space is leased to one Tenant. 10. SUBORDINATION This Lease is subject and subordinate to each ground or land Lease which may now or hereafter cover all or any part of the Premises and to each mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument which may now or hereafter encumber all or any portion of the Premises and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. This shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination need be required by any mortgagee or Landlord. Tenant, however, upon Landlord's request, shall execute promptly any appropriate certificate or instrument in confirmation of such subordination. Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney in fact to execute any such certificate or instrument for and on behalf of Tenant in the event Tenant fails to execute such certificate or instrument within ten (10) days following Landlord's request. In the event of the enforcement by the Landlord under any such ground or land Lease or the trustee, the mortgagee or the beneficiary under any such mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument, Tenant, upon request of any person or party succeeding to the interest of Landlord as a result of such enforcement, automatically will become the Tenant of such successor in interest without change in the terms or other provisions of this Lease; provided, however, that such successor in interest shall not be (a) subject to any credits, offsets, defenses or claims which Tenant may have against any prior Landlord, (b) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one (1) month in advance, except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease which are actually received by such successor in interest, (c) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made after the applicable ground or land Lease, mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument is placed against the Premises (and Tenant has been given notice thereof without the written consent of such Landlord, trustee, mortgagee or beneficiary), (d) liable for any act, omission, neglect or default of any prior Landlord, or (e) required to make any capital improvements to the Premises which Landlord may have agreed to make but had not completed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of any ground or land Lease that may now affect all or any portion of the Premises or the holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument that may now affect all or any portion of the Premises or the instrument that may now encumber all or any portion of the Premises may elect at any time to cause their interest in the Premises to be subordinate and junior to Tenant's interest under this Lease by filing an instrument in the appropriate records of the jurisdiction where the Premises is located effecting such election and providing Tenant with notice of such election. 11. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE Within ten (1O) days after Landlord's request, Tenant will execute an estoppel certificate certifying as to such facts (if true) as Landlord (or mortgagees, ground or land Landlords or proposed purchasers of the Premises) may reasonably request (including, in the case of mortgagees or ground or land Landlords, reasonable notice and cure provisions). Failure to deliver such estoppel certificate within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed Tenant's agreement to and acknowledgment of the statements contained therein. 12. COVENANTS OF TENANT Tenant, its employees, agents and invitees, will conduct its business in such a manner as to be compatible with the other Tenants in the Building and will also conduct its business in such a way as not to interfere with the work of Landlord's employees. Landlord reserves the right to establish Rules and Regulations concerning the conduct of Tenants of the Building. The current Rules and Regulations are set out in Exhibit C. Landlord retains the right to amend these with no more than thirty (30) days notice to Tenant. 13. MAINTENANCE BY TENANT Tenant will keep the Premises and its fixtures and equipment therein in clean, safe and sanitary condition, and will, at the expiration or other termination of term of this Lease, surrender the Premises clean and in the same order and condition in which they were on the commencement of the term of the Lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Carpet protecting chair mats are mandatory for each chair with wheels or casters. Carpet wear due to failure to maintain a chair mat in good condition will be charged to Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to any person or property at any time in said Premises or Building from gas, smoke, water, mold, rain /var/www/apps/pdfcoke/pdfcoke/tmp/scratch6/16381691.doc April 10, 2009

or snow, which may leak into, issue or form from any part of said building of which the premises hereby leased are part, or from the pipes or plumbing work of the same, or from any other place or quarter. 14. ALTERATIONS Tenant shall make no alterations, installations, additions or improvements in or to the Premises or the Building without the Landlord's prior written consent. If any such alterations are made without the prior written consent of Landlord, Landlord may correct or remove same, and Tenant shall be liable for any and all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in the performance of this work. 15. TENANT'S EQUIPMENT Tenant will not install or operate in the Premises any electrically operated equipment or other machinery, other than normal and customary electrical equipment found in a modern office, that specifically requires a separate electrical circuit. Tenant may not install or operate in the Premises computers (personal computers excepted), any equipment or machinery that is heat producing or can be construed as a fire hazard if not properly monitored without the prior written consent of the Landlord. Landlord reserves the right to charge Tenant a fee if Tenant places its own copier on the Premises. The Tenant may not have any cables run to its offices (other than faxes) and may only use the Landlord= s land line telephones. (See fees in Exhibit B). Any fax lines must be installed by technicians approved by Landlord. 16. ENTRY FOR REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS Tenant will permit Landlord, or its representative, to enter the Premises, at all reasonable times, with reasonable advance notice to examine, inspect and protect the same, and to make such alterations and/or repairs, as in the judgment of the Landlord, may be deemed necessary to maintain or protect the Premises or the Building, or to exhibit the same to prospective Landlords during the last sixty (60) days of the term of this Lease. 17. LANDLORD'S EMPLOYEES Tenant agrees that during the term of this Lease and for twelve (12) months after its termination, Tenant will not offer employment to or hire any of the employees of the Landlord or any other Tenants. Upon breach of this agreement, Tenant shall pay as liquidated damages to Landlord, a sum equal to one hundred percent (100%) of each such employee's annual wages. 18. INSURANCE Landlord and Tenant shall maintain separate policies of commercial liability insurance with the premiums thereon fully paid in advance, issued by and binding upon an insurance company authorized to transact business in the state where the Premises are located and of good financial standing, such insurance to afford minimum protection of not less than $1,000,000.00 in respect of personal injury or death and/or property damage in respect of any one occurrence; provided, however that Tenant shall carry such greater limits of coverage as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time. Landlord shall maintain fire and extended coverage insurance for the building, and it shall be the obligation of the Tenant to provide its own insurance to cover equipment, liability, business interruption or other types of insurance which Tenant may desire to carry at its own expense. All property of the Tenant of every kind which may be on said demised Premises during the term hereof shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, or those claiming under Tenant, and the Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, or to any other person whatsoever, for any injury, loss or damage to any person or property in or upon said demised Premises, or upon the common areas, halls, stairways or sidewalks adjacent thereto if said injury, loss or damage is due to the negligence or misconduct of the Tenant, his agents, servants, or employees. Under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable to Tenant or Tenant= s employees, agents, guests or invitees for any action by any person (including trespassers and criminals) other than Landlord or Landlord= s employees. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to assume liability for or on account of any injury, loss or damage above described, and to save Landlord harmless therefrom. 19. SERVICES AND UTILITIES Landlord, at its expense, shall provide Building services normally furnished by comparable office Buildings in the surrounding metropolitan area. It is understood that these services are generally provided by the Landlord and that failure by Landlord to perform to any extent these services beyond the control of the Landlord, shall not render Landlord liable for damages to person or property, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor work as an abatement of rent, unless such service are not provided to Tenant for a period of ten (1O) continuous business days after due notice to Landlord; nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof. Should any of the Building equipment fail to function, or for any cause cease to function properly, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to repair the same promptly, but Tenant shall have no claim for rebate of rent or damages on account of any interruptions in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom. Should Office Service be provided to Tenant by Landlord hereunder, Tenant will indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any loss, damage or liability occasioned by or resulting from any act or omission of the persons rendering or failing to render said office services. 20. SUBSTITUTION If deemed necessary by Landlord in its sole discretion to facilitate Landlord's use or rental of the Building or other offices therein, Tenant agrees to relocate to a comparable office(s) in the Building with Landlord absorbing all reasonable costs relative to said relocation. /var/www/apps/pdfcoke/pdfcoke/tmp/scratch6/16381691.doc April 10, 2009

21. DEFAULT OF TENANT The occurrence of either of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant: (a) failure to pay rent or any other amounts to be paid by Tenant, when due, if failure continues for 5 days after written notice has been given to Tenant, or (b) failure to perform any other provision of this lease, if the failure to perform is not cured within 10 days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant has been given. In the event of default by Tenant as set forth above, Landlord at its option shall have the right to (a) terminate Tenant's right of possession, (b) evict Tenant, (c) relet the Leased Premises and apply receipts from reletting toward Tenant's obligations hereunder, and/or (d) recover judgment for damages and/or rents, and other sums due and owing by Tenant to Landlord hereunder. All rents for the remainder of the lease term shall be automatically accelerated and due, with demand, upon default by Tenant. Eviction for default shall not terminate Tenant's obligations under this lease. All rental obligations of Tenant are independent covenants. All personal property on the leased premises is subjected to a contractual Landlord's Lien to secure payment of delinquent rent and other sums due and payable under this lease. In order to exercise said lien, owner's representative may peacefully enter the premises and remove and store all property found therein, provided, however, Tenant must be present or written notice of entry must be left afterward. Otherwise, Landlord will have the right to enter any time for reasonable business purposes. Tenant's failure to pay rent in full after receipt of notice of delinquency shall entitle Landlord to change or modify door locks on the demised Premises, provided Landlord leaves a written notice on the door informing Tenant where a new key can be picked up by Tenant upon curing of the default if so allowed. Upon such a default, Tenant shall be liable for all damages sustained by Landlord, including, without limitation, deficiency in rent or services charges, reasonable attorneys' fees, brokerage fees and expenses of placing the Premises in first class rentable condition. Landlord shall under no circumstances have an obligation to mitigate its damages caused by Tenant's breach. 22. NO REPRESENTATION BY LANDLORD Neither Landlord nor any agent or employee of Landlord has made any representations or promises with respect to the Premises or the Building except as herein expressly set forth. The Tenant, by taking possession of the Premises, shall accept the same "as is", and such taking of possession shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises are in good and satisfactory condition at the time of such taking of possession. 23. WAIVER No waiver by Landlord of any breach of any covenant, condition or agreement shall constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach thereof. 24. SEVERABILITY In the event any part of this Lease is held to be unenforceable, or invalid, for any reason or cause, the balance of this Lease shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect during the term of the Lease. 25. GOVERNING LAW This Lease and the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas and venue shall be in Travis County, Texas. 26. ENTIRE AGREEMENT This Lease, together with Exhibits A, B, C and D attached hereto and made a part hereof, contains and embodies the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and no representations, inducements, or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not contained and embodied in this Lease, including its Exhibits, shall be of any force or effect, and the same may not be modified, changed or terminated in whole or in part in any manner other than by agreement in writing duly signed by all parties hereto. 27. SPECIAL PROVISIONS A. In addition to the stated rent, Tenant will pay an additional $_______ per month for rental of the office furniture in the Premises. 28.

SECURITY DEPOSIT

(a) Security Deposit: Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant will pay a security deposit to Landlord in the amount of $_________.

Landlord may place the security deposit in an interest bearing account and any interest earned will be paid to Landlord or Landlord's representative. Notice : The Texas Property Code provides that Tenant may not withhold payment of any portion of the last month's rent on grounds that the security deposit is security for unpaid rent. (b) Refund: The Texas Property Code governs the obligation of the parties regarding the security deposit. Tenant must give at least sixty (60) days written notice of surrender before Landlord is obligated to refund or account for the security deposit. Notice: The Texas Property Code does not obligate Landlord to return or account for the security deposit until 30 days after Tenant surrenders the Property (vacating and returning all keys and access devices) and gives Landlord a written statement of Tenant's forwarding address. (c) Deductions: Landlord may deduct reasonable charges from the security deposit for: (i) unpaid or accelerated rent; (ii) late charges; (iv) cleaning, deodorizing, damages, and repairs to the Property or its contents beyond normal wear and tear; (ii) cost of repairs for which Tenant is responsible;(iv) replacing unreturned keys or other security devices; (v) the removal of unauthorized locks or fixtures installed by Tenant; (xi) /var/www/apps/pdfcoke/pdfcoke/tmp/scratch6/16381691.doc April 10, 2009

CASH PAYMENTS: We prefer not to receive any cash payments left for tenants and we ask that you instruct your clients to come by when you are in. We realize that you may not always have control over this, so we have instructed our staff to direct all cash payments to management. Please have your clients ask for the "office manager" and not just drop off cash to whomever is up front. We can not be responsible for any cash not left with management. We apologize for any inconvenience this may impose and hope you understand our desire not to be responsible for handling cash payments. Of course, if you have any special needs feel free to come see us.
