5. Parking.
(a) Parking Rights. In addition to Tenant’s parking rights set forth in the Lease, from and after the Fourth Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date, Landlord shall require that the garage operator offer to Tenant nineteen (19) monthly parking contracts to park an automobile (collectively, the “Fourth Expansion Premises Parking Rights”) in the Garage (as defined in the Original Lease) adjacent to the Building. The Fourth Expansion Premises Parking Rights shall (i) be unassigned, and (ii) be on a self-park or attendant parking basis (or a combination thereof), as determined by the garage operator. If Tenant does not contract for the maximum number of Fourth Expansion Premises Parking Rights so allocated to it by the end of the Abatement Period, then Landlord (or Landlord’s garage operator) shall have the right to use such unused Fourth Expansion Premises Parking Rights subject to the following sentence. If Tenant later elects to use all or any portion of the unused allocation of the Fourth Expansion Premises Parking Rights, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing thereof and Landlord shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice, ensure that the entire unreserved allocation (or portion thereof that Tenant is electing to use) is again available to Tenant. For purposes of Section 28.I. of the Original Lease, “Tenant’s Parking Share” shall include the Fourth Expansion Premises Parking Rights. Subject to availability, Tenant shall have the right to contract for additional parking (the “Additional Parking”) on a month to month basis, which Additional Parking shall be subject to cancellation by Landlord or Tenant upon forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice to the other party.
(b) Parking Fees. The monthly parking rate for the Fourth Expansion Premises Parking Rights shall be the prevailing market rate charged from time to time by the garage operator for similar monthly parking contracts. As of the Effective Date, the current rate for each unreserved parking contract is One Hundred Fifteen and 00/100 Dollars ($115.00) per month. Except as otherwise provided herein, contracts for the Fourth Expansion Premises Parking Rights shall be with the garage operator and shall contain the same terms as are usually contained in contracts with other similar office customers of the garage operator at the Building. If Tenant fails to pay any actual charges for its Fourth Expansion Premises Parking Rights within any applicable notice and cure period, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate Tenant’s Fourth Expansion Premises Parking Rights with respect to those spaces for which Tenant has failed to pay within any applicable notice and cure periods, without legal process, and to remove Tenant, Tenant’s vehicles or those of its employees, licensees or invitees from the Garage. For purposes of clarity, if Tenant fails to timely pay for its Fourth Expansion Premises Parking Rights, such failure shall not permit Landlord
Page 3
to terminate Tenant’s parking rights otherwise set forth in the Lease for which Tenant is not required to pay a parking fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, provided Tenant is not in Default under the Lease (as amended by this Amendment) beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord shall xxxxx the parking fees due under this Amendment for the period commencing on the Fourth Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date through October 31, 2020.
6. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that neither party has dealt with any broker in connection with this Amendment, other than CBRE, Inc. (“Landlord’s Broker”) and Avison Young (“Tenant’s Broker”). Said brokers shall be paid a brokerage commission pursuant to a separate agreement between Landlord and said brokers, and Landlord and Tenant each shall indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any claims for brokerage or other commission arising by reason of a breach by the indemnifying party of the aforesaid representation and warranty.

(a) Tenant is in possession of the entire Existing Premises;

(b) Landlord shall pay to Tenant the sum of up to Four Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Four Hundred Ninety and 00/100 Dollars ($425,490.00) (the “Construction Allowance”) (i.e., up to $65.00 per rentable square foot contained in the Fourth Expansion Premises) as a reimbursement to Tenant for the costs of performing alterations and improvements to the Fourth Expansion Premises, including preparing design and construction documents and mechanical and electrical plans, construction management and specialty consultant fees, and hard costs (the “Fourth Expansion Premises Work”), including the cost of preparing design and construction documents and mechanical and electrical plans, and construction management and specialty consultant fees in connection with the Fourth Expansion Premises Work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant may apply no more than twenty percent (20%) of the Construction Allowance towards soft costs in connection with the Fourth Expansion Premises Work (including, but not limited to, architectural and engineering services, signage, construction management and specialty consultant fees, cabling and wiring, security, cost of telecommunications equipment and installation, costs of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and moving costs). Landlord shall be entitled to receive a construction supervisory fee in the amount of one percent (1%) of the total hard costs of the Fourth Expansion Premises Work, which amount may be deducted from the amount of the Construction Allowance.

Page 7
meetings and Landlord shall cause its representative to participate in such meetings, which participation may be telephonic. The Construction Allowance shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(c) below. Despite the foregoing, Tenant shall pay all costs of performing the Fourth Expansion Premises Work that are in excess of the Construction Allowance.
(c) Periodically (but not more often than once per calendar month), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an invoice from contractors or materialmen who have supplied labor or materials for the Fourth Expansion Premises Work for which disbursement is then being requested. Such invoice shall contain (or be accompanied by) a certification by Tenant’s architect substantially in the form of A.I.A.

Each payment made by Landlord hereunder with respect to payments to Tenant’s general contractor and subcontractors shall be subject to retainage of ten percent (10%); provided, however, if Tenant’s requisition request includes a ten percent (10%) retainage per its agreement with the general contractor (or the agreement with the subcontractor, as applicable), the payment shall not be subject to an additional ten percent (10%) retainage. Upon completion of the Fourth Expansion Premises Work, Tenant shall provide to Landlord (i) a valid non-residential use permit for the Fourth Expansion Premises, and (ii) a certificate of completion from Tenant’s architect with respect to the Fourth Expansion Premises Work.

Page 8
Expansion Premises Work an amount equal to or in excess of the Construction Allowance. If the Construction Allowance is not fully utilized by the date which occurs eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date, the unused portion of the Construction Allowance shall be retained by Landlord.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event that Landlord fails to timely make a disbursement of the Construction Allowance, and such disbursement (or portion thereof) is not subject to a legitimate good-faith dispute by Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to offset the subject disbursement of the Construction Allowance against the Rent next payable by Tenant under the Lease (after the rent abatement period set forth in the Amendment); provided, however, that Tenant first provides Landlord with an additional notice which shall set forth in bold capital letters the following statement: “IF LANDLORD FAILS TO DISBURSE FUNDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION ALLOWANCE WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, THEN TENANT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO OFFSET THE SUBJECT DISBURSEMENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION ALLOWANCE AGAINST RENT” and such failure by Landlord to make such disbursement of the Construction Allowance continues for more than ten (10) days after Landlord receives such additional notice. The foregoing provision shall be deemed null and void and shall be deemed deleted from this Amendment upon the full disbursement of the Construction Allowance as provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event however shall Tenant offset an amount more than twenty percent (20%) of the payment due to Landlord, but Tenant may carry forward any excess to apply toward future payments until fully applied. Any portion of the Construction Allowance that is offset as aforesaid is deemed to have been funded, and in all events Tenant must use the amount offset for the items to which the Construction Allowance may be applied.

Page 9
5. Approval. All plans and drawings (and changes thereto) shall be subject to Landlord’s written approval. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay its consent to such plans and drawings. Such approval shall not constitute either (a) approval of any delay caused by Tenant or a waiver of any right or remedy that may arise as a result of such delay, or (b) Landlord’s representation that such approved plans, drawings or changes comply with all applicable governmental laws, codes, orders, rules or regulations.

If Landlord fails to respond to a submission of plans and drawings (or changes thereto) within the time frames set forth above, and Landlord also fails to respond to Tenant within three (3) business days after Landlord’s receipt of a second written request for Landlord’s approval (which second request states in bold capital letters that the request will be deemed approved if Landlord fails to respond within the three (3) business day period) then, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the same as submitted, however such “deemed approval” concept shall not apply with respect to improvements affecting the base Building structure or the Base Building Systems.

barricade or other protective device, if any, shall be attractive in appearance, shall extend across the frontage and full height of the Fourth Expansion Premises and shall be of materials approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
(c) Comply strictly with the Rules and Regulations and Procedures set forth in Exhibit B Schedule I, and Tenant agrees to be responsible for any violations thereof. Remove and dispose of, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, at least daily and more frequently as Landlord may reasonably direct, all debris and rubbish caused by or resulting from the Fourth Expansion Premises Work, and upon completion, to remove all temporary structures, surplus materials, debris and rubbish of whatever kind remaining on any part of the Building or in proximity thereto which was brought in or created in the performance of the Fourth Expansion Premises Work (including stocking refuse). If at any time Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors shall neglect, refuse or fail to remove any debris, rubbish, surplus materials, or temporary structures in accordance with this paragraph, Landlord at its sole option may remove the same at Tenant’s expense without prior notice.
(d) Use only the Fourth Expansion Premises for the performance of the Fourth Expansion Premises Work. Entry into areas unrelated to the performance of the Fourth Expansion Premises Work is prohibited.
(e) Warrants that the work done by it will be free from any defects in workmanship and materials for a period of not less than one (1) year from the date of completion thereof, except for those inherent in the quality of the Fourth Expansion Premises Work that the Final Construction Drawings require or permit. Tenant shall also require that any such contractors and subcontractors shall be responsible for the replacement or repair without charge for any and all work done or furnished by or through such contractors or subcontractors which becomes defective within one (1) year after completion; provided, however, Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant elects to perform the required replacement or repair. The contractor’s warranty may exclude remedy for damage or defect caused by abuse, alterations to the Fourth Expansion Premises Work not executed by the contractor, improper or insufficient maintenance, improper operation, or normal wear and tear and normal usage. Replacement or repair of such work shall include, without charge, all expenses and damages in connection with such removal, replacement, or repair of all or any part of such work, or any part of the Building which may have been damaged or disturbed thereby. All warranties or guarantees in connection with the Fourth Expansion Premises Work (to the extent such warranties or guarantees are for items which are to remain the property of Landlord following the expiration of the term of the Lease or earlier termination of the Lease) shall be contained in the contract or subcontract, which shall provide that said guarantees or warranties either shall be issued in the name of Tenant and Landlord, or shall be transferable to Tenant and Landlord. Tenant covenants to give to Landlord any commercially reasonable assignment or other assurance necessary to provide a right of direct enforcement.

EXHIBIT “B”
SCHEDULE I
The following are rules and procedures to be followed by contractors when working in or around the Fourth Expansion Premises or Building:
1. Provide a trash can with a lid to dispose of lunches and food. Trash must not be allowed to accrue in the open lease spaces. This is to avoid fire and rodent hazards.
2. Access into spaces under construction must be limited to one door. If an unfinished lease space has two doors, one must be locked. Passage can occur through the door most convenient to the freight elevator and should have a temporary foot mat.
3. No access to the Building’s interior lobby or corridors will be permitted at any time.
4. All unused entry doors to vacant areas must be closed at all times and locked.
5. Construction employees must conduct themselves as mature gentlemen and ladies when working in tenant occupied spaces and all public spaces.
6. Loud radios are prohibited in all work areas.
7. Noisy operations such as chopping, etc. are to be done after hours, unless prior consent is given.
8. All work performed outside of normal working hours must be coordinated with the Building manager for security reasons. No one will be allowed access without prior permission.
9. Every effort must be made to avoid unreasonable disturbance of any other tenant’s normal business operations. Punch list corrections must be performed only with the Tenant’s permission, in advance. If an operation underway is unreasonably disturbing a tenant of the Building, it must be discontinued immediately and performed outside of normal business hours.
