Extension Option. Article XXIII of the Lease (Right to Extend) is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following inserted in place thereof: Provided Lessee shall not be in default at the time of the exercise of such option or at the commencement of an extension period, Lessee shall have an option to extend the Term of this Lease for one five (5) year period as set forth below. Lessee shall exercise the option, if at all, by written notice to Lessor not less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term of this Lease. Within 30 days of Lessor’s receipt of Lessee’s extension notice, Lessor shall inform Lessee in writing of the Base Rent amount for the extension term. The Base Rent amount quoted in Lessor’s notice shall be the prevailing market rental rate for comparable space in the greater Pittsburgh suburban office market as of the commencement date of the extension term as determined in Lessor’s sole judgment. Lessee shall then have a period of thirty (30) days following its receipt of Lessor’s Base Rental rate notice to notify Lessor in writing (the “Final Notice”) of Lessee’s election to extend this Lease at the Base Rental rates quoted by Lessor. If Lessor provides a Final Notice, the Term of this Lease shall be extended for the extension term upon all of the covenants, agreements, terms and provisions set forth in this Lease, except (i) that the Base Rent for the extension term shall be the amounts set forth in the Lessor’s Base Rental rate notice, (ii) that Lessee shall have no further extension rights unless hereafter agreed to in writing by Lessor, and (iii) that Lessor shall have no obligation to provide any Lessor’s Contribution, to conduct any work, or to provide any other concessions in connection with such extension term.

Acquisition Contingency. Article XXV of the Lease (Acquisition Contingency) is hereby deleted in its entirety.

Right of First Refusal. Article XXVI of the Lease (Sale By LESSOR and Right of First Refusal) is hereby deleted in its entirety.

LESSEE shall indemnify and hold LESSOR harmless from any costs, expense or liability (including costs of suit and reasonable attorneys’ fees) for any compensation, commission or fees claimed by any real estate broker or agent other than the aforementioned broker in connection with the procurement of this Amendment because of any act or statement by LESSEE. LESSOR shall indemnify and hold LESSEE harmless from any costs, expense or liability (including costs of suit and reasonable attorneys’ fees) for any compensation, commission or fees claimed by any real estate broker or agent other than the aforementioned broker in connection with the procurement of this Amendment because of any act or statement by LESSOR.

Effective Date. The parties agree that this Amendment shall be effective from and after the Effective Date and not to any period of time prior thereto. To the extent this Amendment contains language which purports to amend the Lease with respect to periods of time prior to the Effective Date, such language is for clarification purposes only and shall not be deemed to change the obligations of the parties with respect thereto. In no event shall this Amendment be construed to impose any liability on LESSOR for any period of time preceding its ownership of the Property.

Option to Extend. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessee has one outstanding option to extend the Term of the Lease for the period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2019 as set forth in Section XXIII of the Lease, as amended by this Amendment.

Leasehold Improvement Allowance. LESSOR shall reimburse LESSEE for the costs incurred by the LESSEE with respect to any refurbishment of the Premises that LESSEE undertakes (the “Refurbishment”), which Refurbishment shall be

conducted in accordance with the terms of the Lease, up to a amount of Five Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($550,000.00) (the “LESSOR’S Contribution”), subject to the provisions hereof. To the extent that the Refurbishment exceeds the LESSOR’s Contribution, LESSEE shall be entirely responsible for such excess. The LESSOR’s Contribution shall be payable by LESSOR to LESSEE (or, at LESSOR’s election, directly to LESSEE’s general contractor or subcontractors) in installments in accordance with the provisions hereof as the Refurbishment progresses; provided, however, that no single installment shall be for the less than Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00). Prior to payment of any such installment, LESSEE shall deliver to LESSOR a written request, to be submitted no more frequently than once every thirty (30) days, for such disbursement, which request shall be accompanied by: (i) invoices for the Refurbishment covered by any previous requisition; (ii) copies of partial lien waivers or final lien waivers (in the case of a final installment); and (iii) a certificate signed by the architect (if any) and an officer of the LESSEE certifying that the Refurbishment represented by the aforementioned invoices has been completed substantially in accordance with the plans (if any) that were required to be previously approved by LESSOR in accordance with the Lease in connection with the Refurbishment, and that the remaining portion of the LESSOR’s Contribution is sufficient to pay in full for the completion of the Refurbishment. If at any time the amount of the LESSOR’s Contribution remaining is insufficient to pay for the remaining amount of the Refurbishment, the LESSEE shall pay from its own funds all further sums necessary to enable LESSEE and LESSEE’s architect (if any) to again make the certification required under subsection (iii) above.

Any portion of the LESSOR’s Contribution which has not been applied on or before March 31, 2006, shall be deemed forfeited by LESSEE and LESSOR shall have no further obligation with respect thereto.

Acknowledgment. LESSEE hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) LESSOR has no obligations whatsoever to LESSEE, under the Lease or otherwise, with respect to any other real property that is not owned by LESSOR, and (ii) LESSEE’s obligations under the Lease are not contingent upon, or affected by, any agreements that LESSEE may have with respect to any real property not owned by LESSOR.

10.

Ratification of Lease Provisions. Except as otherwise expressly amended, modified and provided for in this Amendment, LESSEE hereby ratifies all of the provisions, covenants and conditions of the Lease, and such provisions, covenants and conditions shall be deemed to be incorporated herein and made a part hereof and shall continue in full force and effect.

11.

Entire Amendment. This Amendment contains all the agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior dealings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

12.

Authority. LESSOR and LESSEE each warrant to the other that the person or persons executing this Amendment on its behalf has or have authority to do so and that such execution has fully obligated and bound such party to all terms and provisions of this Amendment.

13.

Binding Amendment. This Amendment shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns.

14.

Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by the law of the state in which the Property is located.

15.

Severability. If any clause or provision of this Amendment is or should ever be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law applicable to the terms hereof, then and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Amendment shall not be affected thereby, and that in lieu of each such clause or provision of this Amendment that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such clause or provision shall be judicially construed and interpreted to be as similar in substance and content to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision, as the context thereof would reasonably suggest, so as to thereafter be legal, valid and enforceable.

16.

No Reservation. Submission of this Amendment for examination or signature is without prejudice and does not constitute a reservation, option or offer, and this Amendment shall not be effective until execution and delivery by all parties.

17.

Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

18.

Subordinate to Master Lease. The Lease, as amended hereby, is subject and subordinate to the Master Lease, and Lessee acknowledges that it is obligated to attorn to the Property Owner as provided in Section 7.1 of the Master Lease.
