Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided that Tenant is not then in default of the Lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an abatement of Base Rent for the Must-Take Space for a period of calendar months following the Must-Take Space Commencement Date equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) Five (5) (i.e., the number of calendar months of Base Rent abated with respect to the Third Additional Premises and the Fourth Additional Premises) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months remaining in the Term as of the Must-Take Space Commencement Date, and the denominator of which is seventy (70) (it being expressly understood that such product may not result in a whole number, in which event Base Rent for such partial month shall be partially abated [i.e., if such product is equal to 3Y, months, then Base Rent for such fourth (4'") month shall be abated by 50%]).

D.From and after the Must-Take Space Commencement Date (and provided that all of the TAP Commencement Date, the FoAP Commencement Date and the FiAP Commencement Date have previously occurred): (i) the aggregate number of rentable square feet demised under the Lease shall be 36,255; (ii) wherever the term "Premises" appears in this Lease, it is hereby deemed to mean the entire 36,255 rentable square feet (consisting of the Original Premises, the Additional Premises, the Second Additional Premises, the Third Additional Premises, the Fourth Additional Premises and the Must-Take Space); and (iii) Tenant's New Share shall be increased by seventeen and four hundredths percent (17.04%) to reflect the addition of the Must-Take Space.

E.If the Must-Take Space Condition occurs, and Landlord's delivery of the Must- Take Space to Tenant is delayed for any reason, Tenant shall remain obligated to lease the Must-Take Space from Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph I 0 and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord by reason of any such delay. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord's obligation to deliver the Must-Take Space to Tenant is expressly, contingent upon (i) the occurrence of the Must-Take Space Condition and (li) the subsequent surrender to Landlord of the Must-Take Space by the current tenant thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 10, Tenant shall not be required to lease the Must-Take Space unless (a) Landlord notifies Tenant on or before June 30,2016 that the Must-Take Space Commencement Date will occur on or before January l, 2017 and (b) the Must-Take Space Commencement Date occurs on or before January l, 2017. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts, exercised in good faith, to deliver the Must-Take Space to Tenant on or before January I, 2017; provided, however, that Tenant hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that such commercially reasonable efforts by Landlord shall take into consideration the fact that the current tenant of the Must-Take Space has the right to renew the term of its lease at the Building beyond the current expiration date of July 31, 2016.

F.In the event Tenant refuses to accept delivery of the Must-Take Space on the Must-Take Space Commencement Date, time being of the essence, such refusal shall constitute an immediate Default of the Lease, whereupon Landlord may elect to (i) pursue all of its remedies as provided in the Lease, at law or in equity; and/or (ii) lease the Must-Take Space (or any portion thereof) to any person or entity of Landlord's choice on whatever terms and conditions Landlord elects in its sole discretion.

G.Landlord and Tenant shall co-operate in good faith in order to execute an amendment modifying the Lease to incorporate the Must-Take Space into the remainder of the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph I 0, provided, however, that the failure by any party to execute such amendment shall not nullify Tenant's obligation to lease the Must-Take Space pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 10 or any other term or condition of this Paragraph 10.

11.Option to Extend Term.

A.Tenant shall have and is hereby granted the option to extend the Term hereof for the entire Premises then being leased by Tenant for one (I) period of five (5) years (the "Sixth Extension Period") provided that: (i) Tenant delivers written notice (the "Extension Notice") to Landlord, no earlier than twelve ( 12), and no later than nine (9), months prior to the Expiration Date, time being of the essence, of Tenant's irrevocable election to exercise such extension option; (ii) no default by Tenant under the Lease exists at the time of Landlord's receipt of the Extension Notice or as of the first day of the Sixth Extension Period; and (iii) Tenant has not assigned its interest in the Lease (other than to a Qualified Tenant Affiliate) or sublet more than twenty percent (20%) of the Premises (other than to a Qualified Tenant Affiliate).

B.All terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect during the Sixth Extension Period, except that Base Rent (on a per rentable square foot basis) payable during the Sixth Extension Period shall equal the Fair Market Rental Rate (hereinafter defined) at the time of the commencement of the Sixth Extension Period. As used herein, the term "Fair Market Rental Rate" shall mean the fair market rental rate that would be agreed upon between a landlord and a tenant entering into a lease for comparable space as to location, configuration, size and use, in a comparable building as to quality, age, reputation and location in the Raleigh I Durham, North Carolina area, which Fair Market Rental Rate shall take into consideration any then applicable market tenant concessions for renewal tenants with credit similar to the credit of Tenant at the time of the determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate.

C.Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to determine the Base Rent for the Sixth Extension Period for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which Landlord receives the Extension Notice from Tenant. In the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Base Rent for the Sixth Extension Period within said thirty (30)-day period, the Fair Market Rental Rate shall be determined by a board of three (3) licensed real estate brokers, one of whom shall be named by Landlord, one of whom shall be named by Tenant, and the two so appointed shall select a third (the "Third Broker"). Each real estate broker so selected shall be licensed in the State of North Carolina as a real estate broker specializing in the field of office leasing in the Raleigh I Durham, North Carolina area, having no fewer than ten (10) years' experience in such field, and recognized as ethical and reputable within the field. Landlord and Tenant agree to make their appointments promptly within ten (I 0) days after the expiration of the thirty (30)-day period, or sooner if mutually agreed upon. The two (2) brokers selected by Landlord and Tenant shall select the Third Broker within ten (10) days after they both have been appointed, and all three (3) brokers shall, within fifteen (15) days after the Third Broker is selected, submit his or her determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate. The Third Broker shall determine which determination of Fair Market Rental Rate made by Landlord's broker or Tenant's broker is closest to the determination of Fair Market Rental Rate made by the Third Broker (the "Closest Determination"). The Fair Market Rental Rate hereunder shall be the mean of the Closest Determination and the determination of Fair Market Rental Value made by the Third Broker. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the fee of the broker selected by it, and they shall equally share the payment of the fee of the Third Broker.

D.Should the Term be extended hereunder for the Sixth Extension Period, Tenant shall, if required by Landlord, execute an amendment (the "Extension Amendment") modifying the Lease within twenty (20) days after Landlord drafts and presents same to Tenant, which amendment shall accurately set fmth the Base Rent for each year of the Sixth Extension Period (as determined pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 11) and any

other economic terms and provisions in effect during the Fifth Extension Period mutually agreeable to Landlord and Tenant. Should Tenant fail to execute the Extension Amendment within such twenty (20) days period, time being of the essence, Tenant's right to extend the Term for the Sixth Extension Period shall, at Landlord's sole option, terminate, and Landlord shall be permitted to lease such space to any other person or entity upon whatever terms and conditions are acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith to agree upon and execute the Extension Amendment within such twenty (20) day period.

E.As of the Effective Date of this Sixth Amendment, Paragraph 8 of the Fifth Amendment (captioned, "Option to Extend Term") is hereby deleted in its entirety and is of no further force and effect.

12.Brokers. Landlord and Tenant recognize American Real Estate Partners Management LLC and CBRE, Inc.

Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the other that no other broker has been employed in carrying on any negotiations relating to this Sixth Amendment and shall each indemnify and hold harmless the other from any claim for brokerage or other commission arising out of (a) any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty; or (b) the actions of Landlord or Tenant with respect to the broker making any claim for a commission.

Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that as of the Effective Date of this Sixth Amendment, Tenant retains the right to install the Exterior Building Sign, subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Paragraph 10 of the Fifth Amendment (captioned, "Exterior Building Sign").

If applicable, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, in connection with Landlord's efforts to obtain such permits, licenses and approvals.

14.Right of First Offer Space.
