C. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms as used herein shall have the same meanings as given thereto in the Original Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

- The Existing Premises. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that pursuant to the Lease, Landlord currently leases to Tenant and Tenant currently leases from Landlord that certain office space in the Building containing 23,917 rentable square feet located on the first (1st) floor of the Building and known as Suite 100 (the "Existing Premises"), as outlined on Appendix "A" to the Original Lease.

That certain space located on the second (2nd) floor of the Building consisting of 7,225 rentable square feet designated as Suite 225, as outlined on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof, may be referred to herein as the "Expansion Space." Effective as of the date (the "Expansion Commencement Date"), which is the earlier of (i) the date Tenant commences business operations in the Expansion Space, or (ii) December 1, 2017, Tenant shall lease from Landlord and Landlord shall lease to Tenant the Expansion Space. Accordingly, effective upon the Expansion Commencement Date, the Existing Premises shall be increased to include the Expansion Space.

Effective as of the Expansion Commencement Date, all references to the "Premises" shall mean and refer to the Existing Premises as expanded by the Expansion Space.
- Extended Lease Term.
3.1. Third Amendment Extended Term. The New Expiration Date (as defined in Section 3 of the Second Amendment) shall be extended such that the Lease shall expire on the date ("Third Amendment Expiration Date") immediately preceding the 65th monthly anniversary of the Expansion Commencement Date; provided, however, that if the Expansion Commencement Date is a date other than the first (1st) day of a month, the Third Amendment Expiration Date shall be the last day of the month which is 65 months after the month in which
- Base Rent. Commencing on the Expansion Commencement Date and continuing through the Third Amendment Expiration Date, Tenant shall pay in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4, monthly Base Rent for the entire Premises as follows:
- Rental Abatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease or in this Third Amendment, and provided that Tenant faithfully performs all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended by this Third Amendment, Landlord hereby agrees to xxxxx Tenant's obligation to pay monthly Base Rent for the Expansion Space only for the first four (4) months of the Third Amendment Extended Term. During such abatement period, Tenant shall still be responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under the Lease, as amended by this Third Amendment; provided, however, Landlord hereby agrees to xxxxx Tenant's obligation to pay its Operating Costs Share Rent and Tax Share Rent for the Expansion Space only for the first three (3) months of the Third Amendment Extended Term. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of the Lease, as amended by this Third Amendment, that results in early termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 of the Original Lease, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Section 13 of the Original Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the recovery of the monthly Base Rent and Operating Costs Share Rent and Tax Share Rent that was abated under the provisions of this Section 5. The amount of Base Rent and Tenant's Operating Costs Share Rent and Tax Share Rent to be abated pursuant to this Section 5 may be referred herein as "Abated Rent Amount." Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, upon written notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the option to purchase all or any portion of Tenant's Abated Rent Amount by paying such amount to Tenant, in which case the amount so paid to Tenant shall nullify an equivalent amount of abatement of Tenant's Base Rent and Tenant's Operating Costs Share Rent and Tax Share Rent for the Expansion Space as to the period so designated by Landlord in Landlord's written notice to Tenant.

The period from the Expansion Commencement Date through the Third Amendment Expiration Date specified above, shall be referred to herein as the "Third Amendment Extended Term." Tenant shall not have any right to extend the Lease beyond the Third Amendment Extended Term; consequently, Addendum 1 of the Original Lease shall be null and void.
3.2. Renewal Term.

Each contractor shall be notified in the bid package of the time schedule for construction of the Refurbished Improvements. The subcontractors utilized by the Contractor shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval and the bidding instructions shall provide that as to work affecting the structure of the Building and/or the systems and equipment of the Building, Landlord shall be entitled to designate the subcontractors.
