8. EXTENSION OPTION. Provided that Tenant is not in default under any of the terms and conditions of the Lease (as amended hereby), Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of the Lease for one additional period of sixty (60) months (the "Extension Option") from and after the Expiration Date (the "Extension Termination Date") by written notice to Landlord given at least nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date. In the event the Extension Option is timely exercised, the term of the Lease shall be extended on the same terms and conditions, except that the base rent during the Extension Option term shall be equal to the fair market rental value of the leased premises, as determined below. Except as provided in this Section 8, Tenant has no other options to extend or renew the term of the Lease.

Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor in good faith to reach agreement on the then current fair market rental value of the leased premises. In no event shall the base rent for the Extension Option term be less than the base rent for the last year of the Extended Term.

If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the fair market rental value of the leased premises on or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Expiration Date, the same shall be determined by
arbitration conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The parties shall attempt to agree on a single arbitrator (a "Referee"). The Referee must be a real estate broker licensed by the jurisdiction where the leased premises is located with at least ten (10) years of leasing experience in the locality where the leased premises is located. If the parties cannot agree on the appointment of the Referee either party may request the AAA to appoint a Referee meeting the foregoing requirements. If the AAA shall fail to appoint such a Referee within ten (10) days of such request, either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Referee. Within fifteen (15) days after the selection of the Referee, the parties shall submit to the Referee their respective estimates of the fair market rental value of the leased premises. Within thirty (30) days following the selection of the Referee, the Referee shall, without adding to, subtracting from or otherwise modifying the Lease (as amended hereby) or such estimates, select one of the estimates to be the fair market rental value. The Referee's decision shall be final.

If the base rent for the Extension Option term is not determined prior to the commencement of such Extension Option term, Tenant shall continue to pay the base rent for the term as currently in effect pursuant to the Lease (as amended hereby). When the fair market rental value for the Extension Option term is determined, the base rent for such period shall be recomputed and if such recomputed base rent for such period is in excess of such interim base rent paid for such period, Tenant shall immediately pay Landlord an amount equal to such excess. Conversely, if such recomputed base rent for such period is less than such interim base rent paid for such period, Landlord shall apply such amount against the next installment(s) of base rent coming due under the Lease (as amended hereby).





9. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Landlord acknowledges that it is holding a security deposit in the amount described in the Original Lease. Landlord shall continue to hold such Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of the Lease.

10. MISCELLANEOUS. With the exception of those matters set forth in this Amendment, Tenant's leasing of the leased premises shall be subject to all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease. In the event of any express conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of the Lease, the terms of this Amendment shall control and govern. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Lease are hereby ratified and affirmed. The parties acknowledge that the Lease is a valid and enforceable agreement and that Tenant holds no claims against Landlord or its agents which might serve as the basis of any set-off against accruing rent and other charges or any other remedy at law or in equity. This Amendment may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one agreement. The Lease as modified by this Amendment constitutes the complete agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior oral or written agreements between the parties. Delivery by Landlord or Tenant of faxed or emailed signatures of this Amendment shall be deemed original signatures for all purposes.

11. BROKERAGE. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that it has not had any dealings with any realtors, brokers, finders or agents in connection with this Amendment except for CBRE ("Tenant's Broker"), and agrees to release, indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claim based on the failure or alleged failure to pay any realtors, brokers, finders or agents other than Tenant's Broker and from any cost, expense or liability for any compensation, commission or charges claimed by any realtors, brokers, finders or agents other than Tenant's Broker claiming by, through or on behalf of it with respect to the Lease or the negotiation of this Amendment. Landlord will pay a leasing commission to Tenant's Broker, which shall be due and payable pursuant to a separate commission agreement between Landlord and Tenant's Broker.

12. TENANT REPRESENTATIONS. Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that there has been no assignment of Tenant's interest under the Lease and no sublease of all or any portion of the leased premises by Tenant. Without limiting any of the foregoing or any other provision of the Lease, Tenant hereby reaffirms and acknowledges its representations and warranties made under the Original Lease pursuant to Section 28.2 thereof regarding Hazardous Materials and Tenant's indemnification obligations under Section 35.1 thereof. To Tenant's knowledge, there are no existing defenses, claims or offsets which Tenant has against the enforcement of the Lease, and Landlord and Tenant are not currently in default under the Lease.

13. NOTICE. Landlord hereby notifies Tenant that Landlord's notice address shall be: 1660
Highway 100, Suite #105, St. Louis Park, MN 55416.

14. ADDITIONAL TENANT WORK. Landlord hereby approves of the additional leasehold improvements specifically defined by the "scope of work" as set forth on the attached Exhibit A ("Additional Work") and the drawing also attached as Exhibit A (the "Leasehold Improvement Plans"). Except for the Additional Work as described in the Leasehold Improvement Plans, Landlord does not consent to or approve of any other alterations or improvements to the leased premises. Paragraph 4 of the First Amendment (as amended) is hereby amended to include all of the Additional Work as an addition to those items already defined in numbers 1-5 therein. Tenant hereby acknowledges, agrees and confirms that at the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, Tenant shall be required to remove the Additional Work and restore the leased premises to its original condition as set forth in Section 9 of the Lease (as amended).

EXHIBIT A

Leasehold Improvement Plans and Scope of Work/Additional Work

November 19, 2012

This letter defines the installation and removal/repair methods of a 3/4 inch natural gas line feed for the to be installed generator on the building's north side. At lease termination and at its cost, ATMI agrees to repair damage to the exterior fabcon panel in the following manner.

The gas line will be mounted to the fabcon panel with three single hole split ring clamps each secured by a 3/8 inch mounting screw. Each hole will be a maximum of 1/2 inch in diameter. A maximum of four single hole split ring clamps will be allowed. However, it is expected that three will be used as the exact gas line mounted on the northwest comer of the building has the same three clamps securing it.

These 4 holes will be repaired by installing a lightweight concrete in the holes and finishing the interior by smoothing the installed concrete and finishing the exterior with color matching aggregate to be purchased and supplied by the panel manufacturer, Fabcon, at ###-###-####.
