F.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, all capitalized terms used in this Third Amendment shall have the same meanings given such terms in the Lease.

A G R E E M E N T:

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 agree as follows:

1.  Second Expansion Space.

1.1.  Addition of Second Expansion Space.  Commencing on the Second Expansion Space Commencement Date (as defined below), the Existing Premises shall be expanded to include the Second Expansion Space, which Second Expansion Space shall be leased on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Lease (as amended hereby).  From and after the Second Expansion Space Commencement Date, the Existing Premises and the Second Expansion Space shall be collectively referred to as the "Premises", and shall contain a total of approximately 9,978 square feet of Rentable Area.

1.2.  Second Expansion Space Term.  The lease term for the Second Expansion Space (the "Second Expansion Space Term") shall commence on the Second Expansion Space Commencement Date and shall expire coterminously with the Extended Term for the Existing Premises on the Revised Expiration Date (i.e., January 31, 2018).  For purposes of this Third Amendment, the "Second Expansion Space Commencement Date" shall mean the earlier of:  (i) the date Tenant conducts business operations in all or any portion of the Second Expansion Space; and (ii) the date Landlord delivers the Second Expansion Space to Tenant Ready for Occupancy, as defined in the Second Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Second Tenant Work Letter"), subject to acceleration as a result of any Second Expansion Tenant Delays (as defined and provided in the Second Tenant Work Letter).  Landlord and Tenant presently anticipate that the Second Expansion Space will be delivered to Tenant Ready for Occupancy on or about April 1, 2014; however, if Landlord is unable to deliver to Tenant the Second Expansion Space Ready for Occupancy by such date (or any other date), then:  (A) the validity of this Third Amendment or the Lease shall not be affected or impaired thereby; (B) Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or under the Lease (as amended hereby), or be liable for damages therefor; and (C) Tenant shall accept possession of the Second Expansion Space when Landlord delivers the Second Expansion Space to Tenant Ready for Occupancy.

1.3.  Confirmation of Second Expansion Space Commencement Date.  Following the Second Expansion Space Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a Notice of Lease Term Dates in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, which notice Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within five (5) business days after Tenant's receipt thereof.

2.  Base Rent.  During the Second Expansion Space Term, the annual Base Rent (and monthly installments thereof) payable by Tenant for the Second Expansion Space shall be calculated separate and apart from that of the Existing Premises and shall be as set forth in the following schedule:

3.  Tenant's Share; Base Year.  For purposes of determining Tenant's Share of increases in Operating Expenses for the Existing Premises and the Second Expansion Space during the Second Expansion Space Term:  (i) Tenant's Share for the Second Expansion Space shall be calculated separate and apart from that of the Existing Premises and shall equal 2.58% (i.e., 3,490 square feet of Rentable Area of the Second Expansion Space/135,339 square feet of Rentable Area of the Building); and (ii) the Base Year for calculating Tenant's Share of increases in Operating Expenses for the Second Expansion Space, only, shall be the calendar year 2014.

4.  Condition of Premises.  Except as otherwise provided in the Second Tenant Work Letter: (i) Tenant shall continue to occupy the Existing Premises from and after the date of execution of this Third Amendment in its current "AS IS" condition; and (ii) Tenant shall accept the Second Expansion Space in its "AS IS" condition as of the date of execution of this Third Amendment and on the Second Expansion Space Commencement Date, without any obligation on Landlord's part to construct or pay for any tenant improvements or refurbishment work in or for the Existing Premises or the Second Expansion Space.

5.  Parking.  From and after the Second Expansion Space Commencement Date, the first (1st) sentence of Section F of Part I of the Original Lease shall be modified as follows:

"Tenant shall throughout the Extended Term of the Lease (as extended), lease from Landlord a total of twenty-eight (28) automobile spaces in the Parking Facility, of which total Tenant may elect to lease up to four (4) assigned and covered automobile spaces at the then-prevailing market rate pursuant to Section 5.5 below."

6.  Brokers.  Landlord and Tenant each hereby represents and warrants to the other party that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Third Amendment, excepting only Commerce Real Estate Solutions (representing Landlord), and Continental Realty (representing Tenant) (collectively, the "Brokers"), and that it knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Third Amendment.  Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments and costs and expenses (including, without

-3-

limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing in connection with this Third Amendment on account of the indemnifying party's dealings with any real estate broker or agent (other than the Brokers).

7.  Counterparts.  This Third Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which is to be deemed original for all purposes, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8.  No Further Modification.  Except as set forth in this Third Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
