1. Scope of First Amendment; Defined Terms; Incorporation of Recitals. Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect in all respects and the term “Lease” shall mean the Lease as previously amended and as modified by this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings given to them in the Lease. The preamble and recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated into this Amendment by this reference in their entirety.
2. Premises
(a) Commencing on January 1, 2014 (“Expansion Premises Commencement Date”), the Existing Premises shall be expanded to include Suites 200 and 300 of the Building with approximately 22,836 square feet of rentable space (“Expansion Premises”). From the Expansion Commencement Date to the Suite 350 Termination Date (as defined below), (i) notwithstanding any provision of the Lease (including, but not limited to, Section 1.T.) to the contrary, all references to the
term “Premises” in the Lease shall hereinafter mean the Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises (i.e, Suites 200, 300, 350, 400, 400A and 425 of the Building); and (ii) notwithstanding any provision of the Lease (including, but not limited to, Section 1.C.) to the contrary, but subject to Section 2(c) of this Amendment, for purposes of the Lease, it is agreed and stipulated by both Landlord and Tenant that the Approximate Rentable Area of the Premises is 47,830 square feet.
(b) Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Lease shall be terminated solely with respect to Suite 350 of the Premises (“Suite 350”), on the earlier of: (i) June 30, 2014 and (ii) the date that (x) Landlord and a prospective tenant enters into a lease agreement for the lease of Suite 350, on terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion and (y) Tenant fully surrenders Suite 350 to Landlord (such earlier date, the “Suite 350 Termination Date”). Tenant hereby agrees to surrender Suite 350 to Landlord on or before the Suite 350 Termination Date, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease, including, without limitation, Section 31 thereof. Additionally, Tenant hereby agrees that, from and after the Effective Date, Landlord shall have the right to show Suite 350 to prospective tenants in accordance with the terms of Section 12 of the Lease. From and after the Suite 350 Termination Date, (i) notwithstanding any provision of the Lease (including, but not limited to, Section 1.T) to the contrary (as further modified by this Amendment), all references to the term “Premises” in the Lease shall hereinafter mean the Existing Premises (less Suite 350) and the Expansion Premises (i.e., Suites 200, 300, 400, 400A and 425 of the Building); and (ii) notwithstanding any provision of the Lease (including, but not limited to, Section 1.C) to the contrary (as further modified by this Amendment), but subject to Section 2(c) of this Amendment, for purposes of the Lease, it is agreed and stipulated by both Landlord and Tenant that the Approximate Rentable Area of the Premises is 44,892 square feet. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Suite 350 Termination Date, the calculation of Base Rent and Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent shall be based upon the square footage of the Premises not including Suite 350 and shall be pro-rated for partial months.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or this Amendment, on or before the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, using an architect that is reasonably acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to measure and verily the rentable square footage of the Expansion Premises in accordance with the Building Owners and Managers Association International Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996, and Tenant shall notify Landlord of such determination, In the event that such determination is different from the square footage set forth in this Amendment, Landlord and Tenant shall, within five (5) days following Tenant’s notification to Landlord, execute an amendment to this Amendment confirming the actual square footage of the Premises in accordance with such determination and further setting forth any corresponding revisions to the Base Rent schedule set forth in Section 3 of this Amendment and other terms based upon the calculation of the square footage of the Premises, such as Tenant’s Pro Rata Share.
(d) Landlord hereby agrees to deliver the Expansion Premises to Tenant on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, vacant, without any tenants or occupants. Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Expansion Premises are leased “AS IS,” with Tenant accepting all defects, if any; and Landlord makes no warranty of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the Expansion Premises (without limitation, Landlord makes no warranty as to the habitability, fitness or suitability of the Expansion Premises for a particular purpose, nor as to compliance with any laws, rules or regulations, nor as to the absence of any toxic or otherwise hazardous substances).
(e) Tenant may access the Expansion Premises on the Effective Date (the “Early Access Date”), even though the Early Access Date is prior to the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, for purposes of constructing any alterations, performing any installations and cabling and moving any furniture and fixtures, in accordance with the terms of the Lease (“Early Access”). The obligation to
2
pay Rent shall be abated, and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall not be increased by the Early Access, for the period from the Early Access Date to the Expansion Premises Commencement Date. All other terms of the Lease, however, including, but not limited to, the obligation to carry the insurance required by the Lease, shall be in effect during the Early Access period. Such Early Access shall not change the Termination Date of the Lease Term.

10. Parking. In addition to the Spaces provided to Tenant under Exhibit G to the Lease, Landlord hereby makes available to Tenant, from and after the Effective Date, an additional twenty-five (25) Spaces on an unreserved basis adjacent to Tenant’s existing generators. Tenant’s use of such additional Spaces shall be in accordance with the terms of Exhibit G to the Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease or this Amendment, such additional Spaces shall be available free of charge and accessible 24 hours per day, seven days per week, every day of the year for the entire term of the Lease (as extended by this Amendment and any subsequent amendment to the Lease). Tenant shall have the right to install generators, cooling towers and related equipment in the parking lot of the Building; provided, that Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of the installation, maintenance and removal of such generators, cooling towers and related equipment.

Rent in respect of the Additional Space shall commence to be due and payable on the date Landlord delivers the Additional Space to Tenant free of other tenants and occupants and otherwise in accordance with the Offer Terms. Promptly after Tenant exercises this option, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to the Lease setting forth the terms and conditions upon which Tenant shall lease the Additional Space and incorporating the Additional Space as part of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxx shall only be obligated to offer the Additional Space to Tenant if the lease for the Additional Space has expired (after all renewal periods) or been terminated and the tenant has vacated the Additional Space.
12. Building Improvements. Landlord shall reserve $300,000 for certain capital improvements at the Property (such as, for example, lobby renovations, a fence at the rear of the building to hide a drainage ditch, landscaping, lighting, accent painting and similar cosmetic treatments) (the “Project Enhancements”). Subject to all applicable laws, regulations and force majeure, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to commence the Project Enhancements no later than May 31, 2013 and to complete the Project Enhancements no later than March 30, 2014. Upon the Effective Date, Landlord shall deposit an amount equal to $300,000 plus the leasing costs associated with this Amendment (less amounts already paid), into a property level operating account designated for the Building or into an escrow account with a lender having a secured interest in the Building.
13. Option to Extend. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to extend the Lease Term of the Lease pursuant to the Option to Extend Addendum attached to this Amendment as Exhibit B.
14. Confidentiality.

In the event of a claim for broker’s fee, finder’s fee, commission or other similar compensation in connection herewith based on any other relationship with or through Tenant, Tenant hereby agrees to protect, defend and indemnify Landlord against and hold Landlord harmless from any and all damages, liabilities, costs, expenses and losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) which Landlord may sustain or incur by reason of such claim.

No commission shall be paid on the restructured rental rate on the Existing Premises through July 1, 2015. The fee shall be paid one-half upon the Effective Date and one-half upon the Expansion Premises Commencement Date.
16. Waiver.

EXHIBIT B
OPTION TO EXTEND ADDENDUM
This Option to Extend Addendum is a part of the First Amendment to Lease dated January 15, 2013, by and between XX XXX XXXXXX, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and LNH INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), for the premises located at Suites 200, 300, 400, 400A and 425, 00000 Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx (the Premises”).
1. Option to Extend. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to extend the term of the Lease for the following periods (“Option Periods”), each commencing when the prior term expires:
7/1/2023 to 6/30/2028 (“Period One”)
7/1/2028 to 6/30/2033 (“Period Two”)
2. Exercise Dates. For purposes of Paragraph 4 of this Addendum,
a. | the Earliest Exercise Date is 9 months prior to the date that the Option Period would |
commence, and
b. | the Last Exercise Date is 6 months prior to the date that the Option Period would commence. |
3. Monthly Base Rent.
a. The monthly Base Rent for each month of an Option Period shall be 95% of Fair Market Rent (as defined below), but in no event shall the monthly Base Rent for an Option Period be less than the highest monthly Base Rent payable during the term immediately preceding the Option Period.
b. Four (4) months prior to the commencement of each Option Period, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s determination, in good faith, of the Fair Market Rent (as defined below) of the Premises during the Option Period, If written agreement cannot be reached by the Parties by the date winch is three months prior to the commencement of that Option Period, then the option for that Option Period and subsequent options for any other Option Period, if any, will automatically terminate.
c. The Fair Market Rent determination shall mean the annual amount per square foot, projected during the Option Period, with appropriate increases in Base Rent during the Option Period, that a willing, comparable, non-equity tenant (excluding sublease and assignment transactions), would pay, and a willing, comparable landlord of a comparable quality office/industrial building located in the surrounding class B office space in the Orange County Airport Market measured on a straight line basis (“Comparison Market Area”) would accept, at arm’s length, for space of comparable size, quality, ceiling height, loading capabilities, power capacities, and parking ratios as the Premises, taking into account the age, quality and layout of the Premises and also taking into account items that professional real estate brokers customarily consider, such as rental rates, availability, tenant size and other factors typically considered by Landlord or the lessors of such similar facilities. The fair market determination shall account for economic concessions then being offered in the relevant market place but shall be limited in scope to an effective rental figure only.
10
4. Conditions to Exercise of Option. Tenant’s right to extend is conditioned upon and subject to each of the following:
a. In order to exercise an option to extend, Tenant must give written notice of such election to Landlord and Landlord must receive the same by the Last Exercise Date but not prior to the Earliest Exercise Date. If proper notification of the exercise of an option is not given and/or received, such option shall automatically expire. Options (if there are more than one) may only be exercised consecutively. Failure to exercise an option during the time period provided terminates that option and all subsequent options. Tenant acknowledges that because of the importance to Landlord of knowing no later than the Last Exercise Date whether or not Tenant will exercise the option, the failure of Tenant to notify Landlord by the Last Exercise Date will conclusively be presumed an election by Tenant not to exercise the option.
b. Tenant shall have no right to exercise an option (i) if Tenant is in default or (ii) in the event that Landlord has given to Tenant three or more notices of separate defaults during the 12-month period immediately preceding the exercise of the option, whether or not the defaults are cured. The period of time within which an option may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise an option because of the provisions of this paragraph.
c. All of the terms and conditions of the Lease in effect as of the commencement of the Option Periods, except where specifically modified by this Addendum, shall apply during Option Periods.
d. The options are personal to Tenant, cannot be assigned or exercised by anyone other than Tenant, and only while Tenant is in possession of the entire Premises and without the intention of thereafter assigning or subletting.
