SECTION 2.05. Confidentiality. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Amendment are confidential and constitute proprietary information of Landlord.

SECTION 2.10. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Amendment does not create, and shall not be construed as creating, any rights enforceable by any person not a party to this Amendment.


SECTION 2.11. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Amendment is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the parties shall direct that such court interpret and apply the remainder of this Amendment in the manner that it determines most closely and effectuates their intent in entering into this Amendment and in doing so particularly take into account the relative importance of the term, provision, covenant or restriction being held invalid, void or unenforceable.

SECTION 2.12. Waivers and Amendments; Non-Contractual Remedies; Preservation of Remedies. This Amendment may be amended, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended, and the terms hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by each of the parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance.

EXHIBIT A

TENANT FINISH-WORK: ALLOWANCE

1. Except as set forth on this Exhibit, Tenant accepts the Premises “AS-IS” and acknowledges that Landlord has no obligation to make or otherwise pay for any improvements, alterations or repairs thereto.

2. IMPROVEMENTS. Tenant shall improve the Premises in accordance with plans and specifications approved in advance by Landlord (the “Plans”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (such improvements are referred to herein as the (“Improvements”). Tenant shall perform the Improvements at its own cost, subject to the Landlord’s Contribution (hereinafter defined). Tenant shall cause the Plans to be prepared, at Tenant’s cost. Tenant shall cause any plans for any mechanical, electrical and plumbing work to be prepared by Landlord’s engineers. Tenant shall furnish the initial draft of the Plans to Landlord for its review and approval. Landlord shall within seven (7) days after receipt either provide comments to such Plans or approve the same and Landlord’s failure to timely respond shall be deemed approval. If Landlord provides Tenant with comments to the initial draft of the Plans, Tenant shall provide revised Plans to Landlord incorporating Landlord’s comments within seven (7) days after receipt of Landlord’s comments. Landlord shall within seven (7) days after receipt then either provide comments to such revised Plans or approve such Plans. The process described above shall be repeated, if necessary, until the Plans have been finally approved by Landlord. The Improvements shall be performed by a contractor (the “Contractor”) reasonably acceptable to Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant hereby agrees that the Plans for the Improvements shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Landlord’s approval of any of the Plans (or any modifications or changes thereto) shall not impose upon Landlord or its agents or representatives any obligation with respect to the design of the Improvements or the compliance of such Improvements or the Plans with applicable laws and regulations.

All Improvements shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, and only good grades of material shall be used. All Improvements shall be performed in such a fashion and by such means as necessary to maintain a professional work environment in the areas surrounding the space to be improved. Tenant shall only use labor that will work in peace and harmony with other contractors and workers serving the Building in constructing the Improvements. Tenant shall avoid actions which interfere with or delay the activities of other contractors serving the Building and other tenants. Tenant shall permit Landlord to observe and monitor all Improvements.

3. CHANGE ORDERS. If Tenant shall require improvements (“Change Orders”) to the Premises in addition to or substitution for the Improvements, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for its approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, plans and specifications for such Change Orders. Landlord shall within seven (7) days after receipt of such initial draft of plans and specifications for the Change Orders (the “Change Order Plans”)


either provide comments to such Change Order Plans or approve the same, and Landlord’s failure to respond within seven (7) days after receipt of such initial draft shall be deemed approval. If Landlord provides Tenant with comments to the initial draft of the Change Order Plans, Tenant shall provide revised Change Order Plans to Landlord incorporating Landlord’s comments within seven (7) days after receipt of Landlord’s comments. Landlord shall then either provide comments to such revised Change Order Plans or approve such Change Order Plans. The process described in the previous sentence shall be repeated, if necessary, until the Change Order Plans have been finally approved by Landlord. Tenant shall pay for all preparations and revisions of the Change Order Plans and the construction of all Change Orders.

4. LANDLORD’S CONTRIBUTION. On April 1, 2015, Landlord shall contribute an amount not to exceed $10.00 per rentable square foot in the Premises – i.e. $568,880.00 (the “Landlord’s Contribution”) to be applied toward the costs incurred by Tenant for the Improvements, Plans and Change Orders. If the cost of the Improvements, Plans and Change Orders exceeds the Landlord’s Contribution, Tenant shall pay all of such excess costs. Upon written request of Tenant (not more frequently than twice each month), Landlord shall pay all or any portion of the Landlord’s Contribution to Tenant, within 30 days after receipt of (a) invoices, (b) evidence satisfactory to Landlord that the work covered by such invoices has been completed in a satisfactory manner, (c) all necessary lien waivers and sworn affidavits, (d) marked reproducible copies of the originally approved Plans showing all substantial changes made in constructing the Improvements during such period from the Plans as originally approved, and (e) such other documentation as Landlord may reasonably require under the circumstances. Tenant shall deliver reproducible as-built Plans to Landlord at the conclusion of Improvements. Up to $3.00 of the $10.00 per rentable square foot Construction Allowance may, at Tenant’s option, be used as an offset to Rent coming due prior to December 31, 2015, used to offset the costs of space evaluation in connection with the Improvements, project management in connection with the Improvements, furniture, fixtures or equipment, or wiring/cabling costs. Any unspent portion of the Construction Allowance existing after December 31, 2015, may be retained by Landlord without credit or reimbursement to Tenant.


EXHIBIT B

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

Provided the Lease, as amended by this Amendment, is then in full force and effect and there is no uncured default thereunder, Tenant shall have the right of first refusal to lease additional space in the Building consisting of Suites 100 and 150 (collectively, the “ROFR Area”). Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable at the following times and upon the following conditions.

(a) If during the Term of the Lease as extended in this Amendment, Landlord receives a bona fide offer from a prospective tenant (the “Prospective Tenant”) to lease premises (the “Offered Premises”) in the Building containing all or any part of the ROFR Area, and Landlord desires to accept such offer, Landlord shall notify Tenant of such fact. Tenant shall have a period of seven (7) days from the date of delivery of such notice to notify Landlord whether Tenant elects to exercise the right granted hereby to lease the Offered Premises. If Tenant fails to give any notice to Landlord within the required seven (7) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have refused its right to lease all or any portion of the Offered Premises.

(b) If Tenant refuses its right to lease the Offered Premises, either by giving written notice thereof or by failing to give any notice, or Tenant fails to timely execute a lease amendment in accordance with subparagraph (c) below, Landlord shall thereafter have the right to lease the Offered Premises to the Prospective Tenant and whether or not Landlord and the Prospective Tenant enter into a lease agreement for the Offered Premises, Tenant shall have no right of first refusal with respect to the ROFR Area until the later to occur of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days following the date (A) Tenant refuses its right to lease the Offered Premises, either by giving written notice thereof or failing to give any notice, or (B) Tenant fails to timely execute a lease amendment expanding the Premises to include the Offered Premises (the “One Hundred Eighty Day Period”), or (ii) the date the ROFR Area is again available to Landlord to lease following the One Hundred Eighty Day Period.

(c) If Tenant exercises its right to lease the Offered Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) business days after Tenant delivers to Landlord notice of its election, enter into a lease agreement with respect to the Offered Premises on the same terms, covenants, and conditions as are contained in the Lease, except as follows:

(i) The rentable area of the Offered Premises shall be equal to the area offered to be leased by the Prospective Tenant.

(ii) The Base Rent rate to be paid for the Offered Premises shall be equal to the base rent rate offered to be paid by the Prospective Tenant, including any offered increases from time to time in such rental rate.


(iii) The Base Year in effect for the Offered Premises shall be equal to the base year offered to the Prospective Tenant.

(iv) The payment of monthly installments of Base Rent with respect to the Offered Premises shall commence on the effective date of the lease of the Offered Premises as offered to the Prospective Tenant, or in the event no specific effective date was so offered, on the date mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, and rent for any partial month shall be prorated.

(v) Possession of such portion of the Offered Premises shall be delivered to Tenant on the basis offered to the Prospective Tenant, and if no specific basis was so offered, on a basis mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant. Landlord will use reasonable diligence to make the Offered Premises available to Tenant as soon after the effective date stated above as it can. Landlord shall not be liable for the failure to give possession of the Offered Premises on said date by reason of the holding over or retention of possession of any tenant, tenants, or occupants, nor shall such failure impair the validity of the Lease, nor extend the term hereof, but the rent for the Offered Premises shall be abated until possession is delivered to Tenant and such abatement shall constitute full settlement of all claims that Tenant might otherwise have against Landlord by reason of said failure to give possession of the Offered Premises to Tenant on the scheduled effective date.

(vi) The term of the lease of the Offered Premises shall commence on the date determined pursuant to subparagraph (c) (iv) above, and shall continue thereafter for the full term offered to the Prospective Tenant.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant’s right of first refusal pursuant to this paragraph shall be subordinate to any and all rights, including without limitation, renewal rights, expansion rights, rights of first refusal and rights of first offer, under any existing lease demising premises in the Building.

(e) The right of refusal hereby granted Tenant shall cease on, and be ineffective after, the expiration of the Extended Term whether or not any option to renew and extend the Lease is exercised by Tenant.

(f) Any assignment or subletting by Tenant of the Lease, or any termination of the Lease or termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Premises, shall terminate the refusal right of Tenant hereby granted.

EXHIBIT C

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

Subject to then-existing renewal or expansion options of other tenants, prior to offering to lease Suite 200 and/or 300 (the “ROFO Space”) to a party other than Tenant, Landlord shall first offer to lease to Tenant the ROFO Space in an “as is” condition. Such offer shall be in writing and specify the rent to be paid for the ROFO Space, the date on which the ROFO Space shall be included in the Premises, and any other terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease the ROFO Space to Tenant (the “Offer Notice”). Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant elects to lease the entire ROFO Space upon the terms set forth in the Offer Notice, within five (5) business days after Landlord delivers to Tenant the Offer Notice. If Tenant timely elects to lease the ROFO Space, then Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease, effective as of the date the ROFO Space is to be included in the Premises, on the same terms as the Lease except that (a) the rentable area of the Premises shall be increased by the rentable area in the ROFO Space (and Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be adjusted accordingly), (b) the Base Rent shall be increased by the amount specified for such space in the Offer Notice, and (c) Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any allowances or other tenant inducements, except for those set forth in the Offer Notice. If Tenant fails or is unable to timely exercise its right hereunder, then such right shall lapse, time being of the essence with respect to the exercise thereof, and Landlord may lease the ROFO Space to third parties on such terms as Landlord may elect. Tenant may not exercise its rights under this paragraph if an Event of Default exists or Tenant is not then occupying the entire Premises. Tenant’s rights under this paragraph shall terminate if the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises is terminated.
