VI. TERM OF THE LEASE <br />This Lease shall commence effective on October 1, 2008 and continue until September 30, 2011 (the <br />"Initial Term"). The term of this Lease may be extended by mutual agreement for one additional three year <br />period ending on September 30, 2014 (the "Renewal Term") provided all remaining terms and conditions shall <br />remain in full force and effect. Such mutual agreement to extend the term of the Lease for one additional <br />three year period, is to be executed in the form of a letter of agreement, to be issued no sooner than 90 days <br />prior to expiration of this Lease, nor later than the final day of the Initial Term. This option to extend the term <br />of the Lease requires the mutual agreement of both parties. Refusal by either party to enter into an <br />agreement to extend the Lease term shall cause this Lease to expire at the end of the Initial Term. <br />VII. RENT <br />The rental fee (the "Rent") for the Initial Term is $15,000.00 per year. The Rent for the Renewal Term <br />is $17,250.00 per year. The total yearly Rent is to be paid in advance and shall be immediately due and <br />payable in full for the first year upon execution of this Lease by both parties and, thereafter, be due and <br />payable on or before October 1 of each subsequent year. <br />If the total land area of the Leased Premises is reduced by reason of the sale, transfer of title, <br />development or other event stated or permitted under this Lease preventing the continued use of any portion <br />of the Leased Premises, then the Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the total reduction in land area at the <br />rate of $21.00 per acre during the Initial Term and $24.15 per acre during the Renewal Term by which the <br />total land area is reduced. <br />VIII. SUB-LEASE OR LEASE TRANSFER <br />It is expressly understood and agreed that the Lessee may not sub-lease any part of the Leased <br />Premises nor may the Lessee transfer this Lease to another party without the prior written consent of the <br />Lessor. Consent to such sub-lease or transfer may be given by Lessor only if the third party agrees, in <br />writing, to accept and abide by all of the provisions of this Lease. <br />IX. DEFAULT AND/OR RECAPTURE <br />A. LEASE SUBJECT TO RIGHTS OF UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. It is understood and <br />agreed that the United States Government has certain rights with respect to the Leased Premises, under <br />which, through no fault of either party, it may be necessary that this Lease be terminated or temporarily <br />suspended or the area of the Leased Premises be reduced. In such event, Lessor shall refund to Lessee the <br />prorata share of any prepaid Rent at the same rate per acre provided in Section VII. In any such event, <br />Lessor shall make reasonable efforts on behalf of Lessee to secure payment for the unrealized value of <br />investments and/or of growing crops from the United States Government. <br />B. LEASE SUBJECT TO OTHER INSTRUMENTS. This Lease and all provisions shall be subject <br />and subordinate to all the terms and conditions of any instruments, agreements and documents under which <br />the Lessor acquired said Leased Premises from the United States of America, or under which the Lessor <br />receives or received funding from the Texas Department of Transportation and shall be given such effect and <br />construction as will not conflict or be inconsistent with such terms or conditions. <br />C. DEFAULT. In the event either party should violate any term or provision of this Lease, the party not <br />in default shall give the defaulting party notice, and if such default complained of shall, in fact, constitute <br />default, and unless the same is not corrected within 15 days after the date of receipt of such written notice, <br />then the party not in default shall have the option to terminate this Lease, and in the event of such <br />termination, Lessee shall return the Leased Premises to Lessor in as good a condition as it was at the <br />beginning of this Lease except for any changes brought about by weather conditions, harvesting of crops <br />and other conditions beyond Lessee's control. In the event Lessor terminates this Lease under the provisions
