D. Landlord and Tenant wish to amend the Current Lease to expand the Premises (currently Suite 2-300) to include Suite 2-100 and the Must-Take Space, and to extend the Term upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

3. Suite 2-100.

(a) The Term for Suite 2-100 commences on the date (“Suite 2-100 Commencement Date”) that is the earlier of: (i) the date on which Tenant first occupies all or any portion of Suite 2-100 for the conduct of Tenant’s business (or the conduct of its transferee’s business under a Permitted Transfer); or (ii) the date that is 120 days after the Suite 2-100 Delivery Date. The “Suite 2-100 Delivery Date” means the date Landlord delivers exclusive possession of Suite 2-100 to Tenant accompanied by notice of same to Tenant. The Term for Suite 2-100 expires on April 30, 2028.

(b) By the Confirmation of Lease Term substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (“COLT”), Landlord will notify Tenant of the Suite 2-100 Commencement Date, rentable square footage of Suite 2-100 (measured per BOMA standards as set forth in the Current Lease), and all other related matters stated therein. The COLT will be conclusive and binding on Tenant as to all matters set forth therein unless, within 10 days following delivery of the COLT to Tenant, Tenant contests any of the matters contained therein by notifying Landlord in writing of Tenant’s objections.

(c) Effective on the Suite 2-100 Commencement Date: (i) the “Premises” includes Suite 2-100; and (ii) “Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” means the rentable area of the Premises divided by the rentable area of the Building on the date of calculation.

(d) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Suite 2-100 Delivery Date to occur no later than December 1, 2018. If Landlord does not deliver possession of Suite 2-100 by March 1, 2019 (which date shall be pushed back on a day-for-day basis for each day that delivery is delayed due to a Force Majeure Event or that a pending default remains uncured), Tenant shall be entitled to 1 day of free Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses with respect to Suite 2-100 for each day of such delay commencing on March 1, 2019 until possession of Suite 2-100 is delivered, which credit shall be applied against the Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses next due and owing. In lieu of but not in addition to the foregoing, if Landlord does not deliver possession of Suite 2-100 by April 1, 2019 (which date shall be pushed back on a day-for-day basis for each day that delivery is delayed due to a Force Majeure Event or that a pending default remains uncured), Tenant shall be entitled to 1 and 1/2 days of free Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses with respect to Suite 2-100 for each day of such delay commencing on April 1, 2019 until possession of Suite 2-100 is delivered, which credit shall be applied against the Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses next due and owing. In lieu of but not in addition to the foregoing, if Landlord does not deliver possession of Suite 2-100 by May 1, 2019 (which date shall be pushed back on a day-for-day basis for each day that delivery is delayed due to a Force Majeure Event or that a pending default remains uncured),Tenant shall be entitled to 2 days of free Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses with respect to Suite 2-100 for each day of such delay commencing on May 1, 2019 until possession of Suite 2-100 is delivered or October 1, 2019, whichever occurs first, which credit shall be applied against the Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses next due and owing. Landlord shall notify Tenant within 5 business days of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event for which Landlord intends to assert a delay under this subsection (d). For avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that the continued occupancy of Suite 2-100 by another tenant, or an event resulting in the continued occupancy of Suite 2-100 by another tenant, shall not be considered a Force Majeure Event for purposes of this subsection (d).

(e) If the Suite 2-100 Delivery Date does not occur on or before September 1, 2019 (notwithstanding delays due to a Force Majeure Event), then Tenant may terminate the Lease for all of the Premises by written notice delivered to Landlord after October 1, 2019 but no later than October 31, 2019. If the Lease is terminated under this subsection (e), then: (i) the Lease shall be deemed terminated on the date that is 365 days after delivery of the termination notice to Landlord; and (ii) neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under the Lease (except as to any Lease obligations that exist prior to such 365th day and any obligations that expressly survive termination); (iii) the free rent credits that have accrued under subsection (d) prior to such termination notice and that would have been applied against the Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses due and owing for Suite 2-100 shall instead be applied against the Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses next due and owing for the remainder of the Premises; and (iv) each party acknowledges and agrees that neither Tenant nor Landlord shall have liability to the other for any other costs, expenses or damages (consequential or otherwise) under the Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to Suite 2-300 until the date that is 365 days from the delivery of the termination notice, and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to Suite 2-201, the Additional Premises, Suite 1-150 and Suite 1-210, as applicable, until the date that is 365 days from the delivery of the termination notice if, on or before the date the termination notice is sent, the commencement date for such space has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of such termination notice from Tenant, Landlord shall have 10 days to provide Tenant with a time recovery plan that is acceptable to Tenant. If after reviewing such time recovery plan, Tenant is not reasonably satisfied that Suite 2-100 shall be delivered within 30 days thereafter, then Tenant may elect to terminate the Lease on the date that is 365 days after delivery of Tenant’s original termination notice to Landlord. Tenant’s sole remedy for Landlord’s failure to deliver possession of Suite 2-100 is to terminate the Lease for all of the Premises as provided in this subsection (e). If Tenant does not terminate the Lease under this subsection (e) by written notice delivered to Landlord by October 31, 2019, such option to terminate shall be deemed waived and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

4. Suite 2-201; Must-Take Space.

Commencing on October 1, 2020, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the Additional Space at the rate per rentable square foot as per the rent chart set forth in Section 5(a) below, subject to Section 5(c) below.

In lieu of but not in addition to the foregoing, if Landlord does not deliver possession of the Additional Space by April 1, 2019 (which date shall be pushed back on a day-for-day basis for each day that delivery is delayed due to a Force Majeure Event or that a pending default remains uncured), Tenant shall be entitled to 1 and 1/2 days of free Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses with respect to the Additional Space for each day of such delay commencing on April 1, 2019 until possession of the Additional Space is delivered, which credit shall be applied against the Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses next due and owing.

Landlord shall notify Tenant within 5 business days of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event for which Landlord intends to assert a delay under this subsection (c). For avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that the continued occupancy of the Additional Space by another tenant, or an event resulting in the continued occupancy of the Additional Space by another tenant, shall not be considered a Force Majeure Event for purposes of this subsection (c).

During the Suite 2-300 Abatement Period, Base Rent with respect to Suite 2-300 only is abated in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time during the Suite 2-300 Abatement Period an Event of Default occurs, then the abatement of Base Rent provided above immediately becomes void, and the monthly Base Rent for Suite 2-300 for the remainder of the Suite 2-300 Abatement Period equals $63,167.58. Further, if more than three (3) monetary Events of Default occur within any 60-consecutive month period during the Term after the date hereof, then upon occurrence of the 4th monetary Event of Default within such 60-consecutive month period, Tenant shall repay to Landlord the total amount of Base Rent abated during the Suite 2-300 Abatement Period upon demand by Landlord.

(b) Effective on the Suite 2-100 Commencement Date, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord, without notice, demand, setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, Base Rent with respect to Suite 2-100 during the Term, payable in equal monthly installments at the rate per rentable square foot stated in the rent chart set forth in Section 5(a) of this Amendment, following the same rent bumps during the same time periods. For example, if the Suite 2-100 Commencement Date occurs on May 1, 2019, Base Rent for Suite 2-100 shall be at the rate of $24.06 per rentable square foot. There shall be no abatement period for Suite 2-100. If the Suite 2-100 Commencement Date occurs prior to May 1, 2019, Base Rent for Suite 2-100 shall be $23.36 per rentable square foot. If the Suite 2-100 Commencement Date does not occur on the first day of a calendar month, Base Rent during such month shall be prorated based on the number of days in such month.

(c) Effective on October 1, 2020, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord, without notice, demand, setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, Base Rent with respect to the Additional Premises and Suite 2-201 (Must-Take Space) during the Term at the rate of $24.78 per rentable square foot, payable in equal monthly installments, subject to the following. The Must-Take Space’s Base Rent rate per rentable square foot shall increase at the rate as per the rent chart set forth in Section 5(a) of this Amendment, following the same rent bumps during the same time periods. For example, on May 1, 2021, Base Rent for the Must-Take Space shall be $25.52 per rentable square foot. There shall be no abatement period for the Must-Take Space. If the Suite 2-201 Commencement Date and/or the Additional Space Commencement Date does not occur on the first day of a calendar month, Base Rent during such month shall be prorated based on the number of days in such month.

(d) Rent payments must be made by ACH credit of immediately available funds to an account designated by Landlord (or as otherwise directed in writing by Landlord to Tenant from time to time). “ACH” means Automated Clearing House network or similar system designated by Landlord.

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has no obligation under the Lease to make any improvements to or perform any work in Xxxxx 0-000, Xxxxx 0-000, or the Must-Take Space, or, except as set forth otherwise on Exhibit C attached hereto, provide any improvement allowance, and Tenant accepts Xxxxx 0-000, Xxxxx 0-000, and the Must-Take Space in their current “AS IS” condition, subject to normal wear and tear thereafter, provided Landlord shall: (i) be responsible at Landlord’s expense for correction of any latent defects or code violations discovered by Tenant in Suite 2-100 and the Must-Take Space within 180 days after delivery of possession thereof; (ii) deliver possession of Suite 2-100 and the Must-Take Space in broom clean condition with all cabling, equipment, and other items of prior occupants removed; (iii) remain responsible for Landlord’s maintenance and repair obligations under the Current Lease; and (iv) at Landlord’s expense, deliver possession of the Additional Space to Tenant as a separately demised space, if not already done as of the date hereof. Subject to the foregoing, neither Landlord, nor anyone acting on Landlord’s behalf, has made any representation, warranty, estimation, or promise of any kind or nature whatsoever relating to the physical condition or suitability, including without limitation, the fitness for Tenant’s intended use, of Xxxxx 0-000, Xxxxx 0- 100, or the Must-Take Space. As used in this Amendment, “normal wear and tear” does not, and shall not be deemed to, include any damage or deterioration that could have been prevented through proper maintenance, or by Tenant’s full and timely performance of all its obligations under the Lease. Upon Tenant’s and Landlord’s execution of this Amendment and surrender of Suite 2-100 and/or the Must-Take Space by any prior occupant (which may occur on different dates), Landlord shall deliver possession of Suite 2-100 and the Must-Take Space to Tenant for Tenant’s completion of the Leasehold Improvements (as defined in and pursuant to Exhibit C).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant’s right to occupy Suite 1-150 under subsection (a) above is contingent upon the existing tenant of such space surrendering such space by January 15, 2018, and Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause same to occur but if such space is not surrendered by such date, Tenant shall have the right to lease another similarly-sized available space in Four Points Centre Buildings I—IV or River Place Corporate Park Buildings I – VII, on the same terms above as Suite 1-150 in a mutually agreeable location until such time as Suite 1-150 becomes available (but no later than the Suite 2-100 Commencement Date) by providing written notice to Landlord requesting such space and Tenant shall execute an amendment memorializing the same.

On May 1, 2023, subject to the provisions of Sections 35.1(a) and (b) of the Current Lease, upon Tenant’s written request, the LC Amount shall decrease by $250,000.00, and such LC amount shall continue to be reduced by $250,000 following the expiration of subsequent one (1) year periods (herein, each a “Reduction Date”), subject to the provisions of Sections 35.1(a) and (b) of the Current Lease, until the LC Amount has been reduced to $350,000.00, at which amount it will remain until the Expiration Date (as it may be extended).

10. Expansion Option.

(a) Provided: (i) Tenant is not then in default of the Lease; (ii) no more than 3 monetary Events of Default have occurred within any 60-consecutive month period after the date of this Amendment; (iii) the Lease is in full force and effect; (iv) Tenant is the originally named Tenant (or its transferee under a Permitted Transfer); and (v) Tenant (or its transferee under a Permitted Transfer) is then occupying 100% of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business (or for the conduct of a transferee’s business under a Permitted Transfer), then Tenant has the option (“Expansion Option”) to lease all (but not less than all) of the approximately 13,220 rentable square feet known as Suite 2-200 and shown on Exhibit A-4 attached hereto (“Expansion Space”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section. If Tenant desires to exercise the Expansion Option, Tenant shall send a written notice to Landlord of its irrevocable exercise of the Expansion Option (“Tenant’s Expansion Notice”), which must be received by Landlord before May 31, 2022, time being of the essence. Upon Tenant’s delivery of Tenant’s Expansion Notice, Tenant may not thereafter revoke Tenant’s exercise of the Expansion Option. The Term for the Expansion Space shall commence on the date (“Expansion Space Commencement Date”) that is the earlier of: (i) the date on which Tenant first occupies all or any portion of the Expansion Space for the conduct of any business; or (ii) 90 days after the date Landlord delivers possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, the Expansion Option shall be subject, subordinate, and in all respects inferior to the rights of any third party leasing space at the Building under its existing lease for the Expansion Space (including, without limitation, any lease term extension period(s) contained in such tenant’s lease, regardless of whether the extension right or agreement is contained in such lease or is agreed to at any time by Landlord and the tenant under such lease). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord: (i) agrees not to grant the existing tenant in the Expansion Space an option or right to extend its term past November 1, 2023, unless such right is subordinate to Tenant’s right to lease the Expansion Space provided Tenant provides Tenant’s Expansion Notice before May 31, 2022, and (ii) represents and warrants to Tenant that no other third party leasing space at the Building has, or will have, rights to the Expansion Space beyond September 1, 2023. If an Event of Default exists at the time Landlord receives Tenant’s Expansion Notice or on the first day that Tenant commences to lease the Expansion Space, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, shall have the right to nullify Tenant’s exercise of the Expansion Option with respect to the Expansion Space.

(c) Tenant shall take the Expansion Space in “AS IS” condition, and Landlord shall have no obligation to make any improvements or alterations to the Expansion Space. With respect to the Expansion Space, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and utilities pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Section to the contrary, if Tenant elects to lease the Expansion Space, such space shall become subject to the Lease upon the same terms and conditions as are then applicable to the original Premises, including without limitation the Expiration Date. Upon the Expansion Space Commencement Date, the “Premises” shall include the Expansion Space and, except as otherwise set forth in this Section, all computations made under the Lease based upon or affected by the rentable area of the Premises shall be recomputed to include the Expansion Space.

(d) (i) Base Rent for the first year that Tenant leases the Expansion Space shall be at the Expansion Option Rent (as defined below) multiplied by the number of rentable square feet in the Expansion Space (as measured per BOMA standards as set forth in the Current Lease). When Base Rent for the first year that Tenant will lease the Expansion Space is being determined, Base Rent for the second and all subsequent years that Tenant will lease the Expansion Space shall also be determined (in accordance with the same procedures as are set forth herein for determining the Expansion Option Rent) based upon the then-prevailing annual rent escalation factor in the applicable leasing market.

(ii) “Expansion Option Rent” means the Fair Market Rental Rate (as defined in Exhibit B of the Current Lease) for the Expansion Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant will not be entitled to any tenant improvement allowances, free rent periods or other economic concessions (if any) that Tenant was entitled to with respect to the original Premises (as theretofore expanded), except to the extent such items are indirectly incorporated into the Expansion Option Rent as set forth in this Section.

(iii) If Landlord and Tenant do not agree upon the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Expansion Space in writing within 20 days after Landlord receives Tenant’s Expansion Notice, then the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Expansion Space shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit G, Section 1.5 of the Current Lease.

(e) Except as set forth in this Section to the contrary, Tenant shall lease the Expansion Space under an amendment to the Lease. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute an appropriate amendment, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to both Landlord and Tenant, memorializing the expansion of the Premises as set forth in this Section (provided Tenant’s failure to execute such amendment shall not negate the effectiveness of Tenant’s exercise of the Expansion Option).

(f) If Tenant exercises its right to lease the Expansion Space the Expansion Option shall thereafter be null and void. If Tenant timely sends Tenant’s Expansion Notice, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver possession of the Expansion Space by September 1, 2023. Landlord shall promptly commence and diligently pursue obtaining possession of the Expansion Space so that Landlord can tender the Expansion Space to Tenant by such date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; provided, however, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant if Landlord does not tender the Expansion Space to Tenant if Landlord is otherwise in compliance with its obligations under this Section 10.

11. Extension Options.

(a) Provided: (i) Tenant is not then in default of the Lease; (ii) no more than 3 monetary Events of Default have occurred within any 60-consecutive month period after the date of this Amendment; (iii) the Lease is in full force and effect; (iv) Tenant is the originally named Tenant (or its transferee under a Permitted Transfer); and (v) Tenant (or its transferee under a Permitted Transfer) is then occupying 85% of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business (or for the conduct of a transferee’s business under a Permitted Transfer), Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term (“Extension Option”) for up to 2 consecutive terms of 60 months each beyond the end of the Term (each an “Extension Term”) by delivering Tenant’s written extension election notice to Landlord no later than the Extension Deadline, with time being of the essence. The “Extension Deadline” means the date that is 15 months prior to the expiration of the then-current Term. The terms and conditions of the Lease during each Extension Term shall remain unchanged except Tenant shall only be entitled to the 2 Extension Terms provided above, the annual Base Rent for the applicable Extension Term shall be the Extension Rent (as defined below), the Expiration Date shall be the last day of the Extension Term (or such earlier date of termination of the Lease pursuant to the terms hereof), and, except to the extent reflected in the Extension Rent, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any tenant improvements to the Premises or provide any tenant improvement allowance to Tenant. Upon Tenant’s delivery of its written extension election notice, Tenant may not thereafter revoke its exercise of the Extension Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall have no right to extend the Term other than or beyond the 2, 60-month Extension Terms described in this paragraph. For avoidance of doubt, if Tenant timely exercises the first Extension Option only, the Term for the Premises shall expire on April 30, 2033, and if Tenant timely exercises both the first and second Extension Options, the Term for the Premises shall expire on April 30, 2038.

(b) “Extension Rent” means the Fair Market Rental Rate (as defined in Exhibit B of the Current Lease) for the Extension Terms. In lieu of directly providing any prevailing market allowances and/or concessions, Landlord may elect to reduce the Extension Rent by the economic equivalent thereof to reflect the fact that such allowances and concessions were not provided directly to Tenant. During the Extension Term, Tenant shall not be entitled to any tenant improvement allowances, free rent periods or other economic concessions (if any) that Tenant was entitled to during the Term, except to the extent such items are indirectly incorporated into the Extension Rent as set forth in this Section. When the Extension Rent is being determined for the first year of the Extension Term, the Extension Rent for the second and all subsequent years of the Extension Term shall also be determined in accordance with the same procedures as are set forth herein and based upon the then prevailing annual rent escalation factor in the applicable leasing market.

(c) If Tenant timely exercises an Extension Option and Landlord and Tenant do not agree upon the Extension Rent in writing by the date that is the later of 20 days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s extension notice or 3 months prior to the Extension Deadline, then the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Extension Terms shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit G, Section 1.5 of the Current Lease.

(d) Upon Tenant’s timely and proper exercise of an Extension Option pursuant to the terms above and satisfaction of the above conditions: (i) the “Term” shall include the Extension Term, subject only to the determination of Extension Rent; and (ii) upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute prior to the expiration of the then-expiring Term, an appropriate amendment to this Lease, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to both Landlord and Tenant, memorializing the extension of the Term for the ensuing Extension Term (provided Tenant’s failure to execute such amendment shall not negate the effectiveness of Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option).

12. Termination Option. Provided: (i) Tenant is not then in default of the Lease; (ii) no more than 3 monetary Events of Default have occurred within any 60-consecutive month period after the date of this Amendment; (iii) the Lease is in full force and effect; (iv) Tenant is the originally named Tenant (or its transferee under a Permitted Transfer); (v) Tenant has not exercised its Expansion Option under Section 10, or Right of First Offer under Section 13 or otherwise expanded the Premises (unless the Termination Payment is proportionately increased on a per square foot basis); and (vi) Tenant has not leased the entirety of the Building, Tenant has the right to terminate the Lease effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date, in accordance with and subject to each of the following terms and conditions (“Termination Option”). The “Termination Date” means September 30, 2025. If Tenant desires to exercise the Termination Option, Tenant must give to Landlord irrevocable written notice of Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option (“Termination Notice”), together with the Termination Payment (as defined below). The Termination Notice and the Termination Payment must be received by Landlord no later than September 30, 2024, failing which the Termination Option is deemed waived (provided Landlord reserves the right to waive in writing the requirement that Tenant fully and/or timely pay the Termination Payment). The “Termination Payment” means the sum of $1,905,510.00. Tenant’s payment of the Termination Payment is a condition precedent to the termination of the Lease on the Termination Date, and such obligation survives the Expiration Date. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Termination Payment is not a penalty and is fair and reasonable compensation to Landlord for the loss of expected rentals from Tenant. The Termination Payment is payable only by wire transfer or cashier’s check. Time is of the essence with respect to the dates and deadlines set forth herein. As of the date Tenant delivers the Termination Notice, any and all unexercised rights or options of Tenant to extend the Term or expand the Premises (whether expansion options, rights of first refusal, rights of first offer, or otherwise), and any and all outstanding tenant improvement allowance not properly claimed by Tenant in accordance with the Lease shall immediately terminate and are automatically, without further action required by any party, null and void and of no force or effect. If Tenant timely and properly exercises the Termination Option in accordance with this paragraph, the Lease and the Term shall come to an end on the Termination Date with the same force and effect as if the Term were fixed to expire on such date, the Expiration Date shall be the Termination Date, and the terms and provisions of Sections 10 and 21 of the Current Lease shall apply.

13. Right of First Offer.

lease from Landlord (“ROFO Space”). Landlord’s ROFO Notice shall include the anticipated availability date and basic economic terms for the lease of the ROFO Space (which shall be market terms) and, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section, Tenant shall have an ongoing right (“ROFO”) to lease all (but not less than all) of the ROFO Space by delivering Tenant’s written notice of such election to Landlord (“Tenant’s ROFO Notice”) within 5 business days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s ROFO Notice. This ROFO is expressly conditioned on Landlord or any of its wholly owned affiliates owning the Building and Building I at the time the Landlord’s ROFO Notice is delivered.

(b) Upon Tenant’s delivery of Tenant’s ROFO Notice, Tenant may not thereafter revoke Tenant’s exercise of the ROFO. If an Event of Default exists at the time Landlord receives Tenant’s ROFO Notice or on the first day that Tenant commences to lease the ROFO Space, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, shall have the right to nullify Tenant’s exercise of the ROFO with respect to such ROFO Space. If Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant elects not to lease the ROFO Space or if Tenant fails to timely deliver Tenant’s ROFO Notice to Landlord with respect thereto, then Landlord shall have the right to enter into a lease for the ROFO Space under one or more leases containing such terms as Landlord deems acceptable in Landlord’s sole discretion, and the ROFO shall be void and have no further force or effect with respect to such space until such space again becomes available for lease.

(c) The ROFO shall be subject, subordinate, and in all respects inferior to the rights of any third-party tenant leasing space at the Building or Building I as of the date of this Amendment. Landlord may at any time choose to use any space that is or about to become vacant within the Building or Building I for marketing or property management purposes, or as a building amenity or Common Area such as a fitness center or conference area, or to lease such space to an existing tenant of Landlord in connection with the relocation of such tenant, without in any such case notifying or offering such space to Tenant or giving rise to any right of Tenant hereunder. Space is “available to lease” if and when: (i) the lease for any tenant of all or a portion of the space expires or is otherwise terminated, provided space shall not be deemed to be or become available if the space is assigned or subleased by the tenant of the space, or relet by the tenant or subtenant of the space by renewal, extension, or new lease; and (ii) to the extent that all or a portion of the ROFO Space is available for lease from Landlord as of the date of this Amendment, Landlord has entered into a lease with a third-party tenant for such currently available ROFO Space after the date of this Amendment and the term of that lease has expired (including, without limitation, the expiration of any lease term extension period(s), regardless of whether the extension right or agreement is contained in such lease or is agreed to at any time by Landlord and the tenant under such lease or otherwise) or been terminated.

(d) Except to the extent expressly set forth in Landlord’s ROFO Notice to the contrary, if Tenant elects to lease the ROFO Space, such space shall become subject to the Lease upon the same terms and conditions as are then applicable to the original Premises, except that Tenant shall take the ROFO Space in “AS IS” condition and Landlord shall have no obligation to make any improvements or alterations to the ROFO Space. Landlord shall determine the exact location of any demising walls (if any) for the ROFO Space. Tenant shall not be entitled to any tenant improvement allowances, free rent periods, or other special concessions granted to Tenant with respect to the original Premises. Upon Tenant’s leasing of the ROFO Space, the “Premises” shall include the ROFO Space and, except as otherwise set forth in this Section, all computations made under the Lease based upon or affected by the rentable area of the Premises shall be recomputed to include the ROFO Space.

(e) If Tenant timely exercises its right to lease the ROFO Space: (i) Tenant’s lease of the ROFO Space shall commence upon the later of: (A) the date of availability specified in Landlord’s ROFO Notice; or (B) the first date that Landlord is able to tender possession of the ROFO Space to Tenant in vacant condition; (ii) the ROFO shall thereafter be null and void as to such space; (iii) the term of Tenant’s lease of the ROFO Space shall be coterminous with the Term for Suite 2-300 so long as at least 60 months remain on the Term, and otherwise shall be on the term specified in Landlord’s ROFO Notice; and (iv) upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute an appropriate amendment, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to both Landlord and Tenant, memorializing the expansion of the Premises as set forth in this Section (provided Tenant’s failure to execute such amendment shall not negate the effectiveness of Tenant’s exercise of the ROFO).

14. Exterior Signage; Suite 2-100 Signage.

(a) Effective at any time after the Suite 2-100 Delivery Date and provided all of the Building Signage Conditions are fully satisfied, the originally named Tenant (or its transferee under a Permitted Transfer) shall have the nonexclusive right to cause Landlord, exercisable by the delivery of written notice from Tenant to Landlord, to install one exterior monument sign or monument sign panel in one of the locations adjacent to the Building as shown on Exhibit D attached hereto (“Building Sign”), subject to Applicable Laws (including without limitation all necessary local governmental approvals) and satisfaction of all of the following terms and conditions: (i) the size and location and Tenant’s specifications and design of the Building Sign shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and generally consistent with the aesthetic standards of the Building; (ii) Landlord shall obtain, install, repair, maintain and replace the Building Sign on Tenant’s behalf, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense following Tenant’s approval of the identity of and bid from the sign contractor, such approval as to the identity of the sign contractor not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (iii) if the Building Sign is illuminated, Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of the costs of such illumination (equitably allocated in Landlord’s reasonable determination); and (iv) only one entity shall be identified on the Building Sign (i.e., either Tenant or its transferee under a Permitted Transfer). The “Building Signage Conditions” are that: (a) the originally named Tenant (or its transferee under a Permitted Transfer) is occupying and paying full Rent on at least 80% of the rentable area of Suite 2-100, the Must-Take Space and Suite 2-300; (b) there is no pending Event of Default at the time Tenant initially exercises such right; (c) no more than three (3) monetary Events of Default have occurred within any 60-consecutive month period during the Term after the date hereof; (d) the Lease is in full force and effect; and (e) Landlord, at Tenant’s cost, has obtained all necessary approvals and permits to erect the Building Sign. Prior to the Expiration Date, or immediately upon any of the Building Signage Conditions no longer being satisfied, Landlord shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to remove the Building Sign and repair and restore the Building Sign location to its prior existing condition. With respect to clause (i) above, Landlord’s determination and selection of the size, location, specifications, and design of the Building Sign may take into account the necessity to reserve or reallocate space for signage for existing and future tenants of the Building and in furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to require that the Building Sign be replaced with a Building Sign of a different size, configuration, or design reasonably acceptable to Tenant, from time to time, and the Building Sign’s placement may be relocated by Landlord to a new location reasonably acceptable to Tenant, from time to time, such relocation to be at Landlord’s sole cost unless it is required under Applicable Laws. Tenant shall pay Landlord for all costs due from Tenant under this paragraph as Additional Rent within 30 days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor.

(b) Effective at any time after the Suite 2-100 Commencement Date, subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, Tenant, at its cost, may reconfigure Suite 2-100 to incorporate sliding glass doors (or a similar design) which will open to the main lobby, and may install one additional sign within Suite 2-100 that is visible from the common area lobby, which work shall be deemed an Alteration and subject to the provisions of Section 10 of the Current Lease.

15. Parking. Tenant has the nonexclusive right to use the parking facilities at the Project for parking standard-size automobiles and standard-size trucks (not to exceed the length and width of the Building’s parking spaces or any garage height restrictions) of Tenant and its employees, at no charge to Tenant with Tenant being entitled to unreserved parking at a ratio of no more than 4 per 1,000 square feet of rentable area of the Premises (rounded downward). With respect to the allocated share of parking for Xxxxx 0-000 xxx Xxxxx 0-000, Xxxxxx may designate up to a total of 3 of such allocated parking spaces as reserved parking spaces in a location(s) agreed by Landlord and Tenant and also at no charge to Tenant; provided, however, Landlord shall have no obligation to monitor or patrol such reserved parking spaces, and Tenant shall pay Landlord for any reasonable costs for the reserved parking signage within 15 days after receipt of an invoice therefor. Such reserved spaces allocated for Suite 2-100 shall be available on the execution date of this Amendment. Landlord shall have the option of relocating the reserved parking spaces from time to time by delivery of written notice to Tenant provided the relocated parking spaces are substantially as accessible to the Premises as the originally granted spaces. If Landlord reasonably determines that parking has become an issue for the Building or Project, Landlord may implement a valet service or alternative parking arrangement, the costs of which are includable in Tenant’s Operating Expenses.

16. Prohibited Uses. Item (g) under “Prohibited Uses” in Exhibit B to the Current Lease, shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

(g) A Prohibited Use is an office that exceeds the Project’s parking limitations or the Building’s load or density limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant’s use of the parking facilities at the Project in compliance with Section 15 of this Amendment shall be deemed to be within the Project’s parking limitations; and Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises in conformance with plans and specifications expressly approved by Landlord and expressly permitted by all applicable governmental authorities (as evidenced by a building permit) shall be deemed to be within the Building’s load or density limitations.

17. Assignment and Subletting. The language in Section 15.1(b)(5)(ii) of the Current Lease which states “or any other Building owned by Landlord (or an affiliate thereof) in Austin, Texas” shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following: “or a prospective tenant with whom Landlord is in lease negotiations, as evidenced by an agreed upon letter of intent, for space in Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx X, Xxxxxxxx XX, Xxxxxxxx XXX and Building IV and River Place Corporate Park Buildings I – VII, so long as Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord own the aforementioned buildings.”

18. Generator. Subject to the terms of this paragraph and there then being available space, and provided there is no pending Event of Default, Tenant shall have the right to install and maintain an emergency generator outside of the Building in a location as shown on Exhibit E attached hereto or otherwise mutually and reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, together with such service lines as are necessary to cause such emergency generator to service the Premises (the generator and the service lines, the “Generator”). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord detailed plans and specifications for the Generator (including the proposed location and screen wall design) and a copy of Tenant’s contract for installing the Generator, which plans and specifications and contract shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Landlord shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to require Tenant to relocate the Generator to another location specified by Landlord at Landlord’s sole cost unless such relocation is required under Applicable Laws or Tenant’s breach of the Lease. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant shall pay all costs of purchase, installation, maintenance, replacement, governmental inspection, permitting, insurance, cleanup, and operation of the Generator. Tenant shall not use the Generator in a manner that will unreasonably interfere with Landlord’s and/or any current or future tenant’s use of the Project.

In addition, all repairs to the Building and/or the Property made necessary by reason of the installation, maintenance, and operation of the Generator shall be Tenant’s expense. Any operation of the Generator for testing or upkeep purposes shall be conducted only at times not falling within the normal hours of operation of the Building. Fuel for the Generating Equipment shall only be maintained in quantities sufficient for emergency operation in accordance with all applicable Laws and Tenant shall not stockpile fuel in excess of these quantities anywhere at the Project. Tenant shall immediately take all actions necessary to properly remediate any spillage or leak of fuel from the Generator, and promptly furnish Landlord with a copy of any notice received from any governmental authority relating to any claimed spillage or leak of fuel. Tenant hereby assumes all liability to persons and property arising from or in any way related to the Generator.
