"R-1.  Options.  Provided that Tenant is not in default of this Lease, beyond any applicable notice and cure period, at the time of the exercise of either Option to Renew Lease (as defined below), and further provided that Tenant has not assigned the Lease or sublet greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises, Tenant shall have two (2) options (each an "Option to Renew Lease") to renew and extend this Lease for a period of five (5) years each (each a "Renewal Term").  Each such Renewal Term shall be exercised upon written notice to the Landlord delivered not less than four (4) months before the expiration of the 2015 Extended Term or first Renewal Term, as applicable.  Upon the delivery of such notice by Tenant and subject to the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, this Lease shall be extended without the necessity of the execution of any further instrument or document; provided, however, that each party agrees to execute and deliver such further instruments or documents as the other party may reasonably request to memorialize or acknowledge the exercise of the applicable Option to Renew Lease.  Each Renewal Term shall commence upon the expiration of the 2015 Extended Term or the first Renewal Term, as applicable, and shall expire upon the anniversary of such date five (5) years thereafter, and be upon the same terms, covenants and conditions as provided in this Lease for the initial Lease Term, except that as of the first day of each Renewal Term, the Base Rent shall be equal to ninety percent (90%) of the then prevailing fair market rental rate as of the commencement of such Renewal Term (as determined in accordance with this Rider No. 2), with three percent (3%) annual increases during such Renewal Term as provided in Section 3.02 of the Lease.  Tenant shall only be able to exercise an Option to Renew Lease as to all of the Premises."

9.      No Right of First Offer.  Rider No. 4 to the Original Lease and Paragraph 8 of the First Amendment are hereby deleted in their entirety and shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.

10.           Parking.  The first sentence of Section 1.04 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Tenant shall be entitled to use up to forty-eight (48) unreserved uncovered parking spaces on the parking area of the Building.”

11.           Conflict.  If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Second Amendment and the terms and conditions of the Lease, the terms and conditions of this Second Amendment shall control.  Except as modified by this Second Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.  Capitalized terms included in this Second Amendment shall have the same meaning as capitalized terms in the Lease unless otherwise defined herein.  As of the date hereof, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Lease is in full force and effect, Landlord is not currently in default under the Lease, and, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would ripen into Landlord’s default under the Lease.  As of the date hereof, Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Lease is in full force and effect, Tenant is not currently in default under the Lease, and, to the best of Landlord’s knowledge, no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would ripen into Tenant’s default under the Lease.  The Lease, as hereby amended, contains all agreements of the parties with respect to the lease of the Premises.  No prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to the Lease, as hereby amended, shall be effective.

12.           Authority.  The persons executing this Second Amendment on behalf of the parties hereto represent and warrant that they have the authority to execute this Second Amendment on behalf of said parties and that said parties have authority to enter into this Second Amendment.

13.           Brokers.  Tenant and Landlord each represent and warrant to the other that neither has had any dealings or entered into any agreements with any person, entity, broker or finder other than CIP Real Estate in connection with the negotiation of this Second Amendment, and no other broker, person, or entity is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in connection with the negotiation of this Second Amendment, and Tenant and Landlord each agree to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any claims, damages, costs, expenses, attorneys' fees or liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings, actions or agreements of the indemnifying party.  Landlord shall pay CIP Real Estate any commission due pursuant to a separate written agreement.

14.           Confidentiality.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Second Amendment are confidential and constitute proprietary information of Landlord.  Disclosure of the terms hereof could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases with respect to the property and may impair Landlord's relationship with other tenants of the property.  Tenant agrees that it and its partners, officers, directors, employees, brokers, and attorneys, if any, shall not disclose the terms and conditions of this Second Amendment to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of Landlord which may be given or withheld by Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion.  It is understood and agreed that damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for the breach of this provision by Tenant, and Landlord shall also have the right to seek specific performance of this provision and to seek injunctive relief to prevent its breach or continued breach.

15.           Delivery of Amendment.  Preparation of this Second Amendment by Landlord or Landlord's agent and submission of same to Tenant shall not be deemed an offer by Landlord to enter into this Second Amendment. This Second Amendment shall become binding when fully executed and delivered by all parties.

16.           Execution.  This Second Amendment and any documents or addenda attached hereto (collectively, the “Documents”) may be executed in two or more counterpart copies, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall have the same force and effect as if the parties had executed a single copy of the Document.  Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to insert the name of the person executing a Document on behalf of Landlord in Landlord’s signature block using an electronic signature (an “Electronic Signature”), and in this event the Document delivered to Tenant will not include an original ink signature and Landlord shall have no obligation to provide a copy of such Document to Tenant with Landlord’s original ink signature.  A Document delivered to Tenant by Landlord with an Electronic Signature shall be binding on Landlord as if the Document had been originally executed by Landlord with an ink signature. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, Tenant shall not have the right to insert the name of the person executing the Document on behalf of Tenant using an Electronic Signature and all Documents shall be originally executed by Tenant using an ink signature.  A Document executed by Landlord or Tenant and delivered to the other party in PDF, facsimile or similar electronic format (collectively, “Electronic Format”) shall be binding on the party delivering the executed Document with the same force and effect as the delivery of a printed copy of the Document with an original ink signature. At any time upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a printed copy of the Document with an original ink signature.  This Section describes the only ways in which Documents may be executed and delivered by the parties.  An email from Landlord, its agents, brokers, attorneys, employees or other representatives shall never constitute Landlord’s Electronic Signature or be otherwise binding on Landlord.  An email from Tenant, its agents, brokers, attorneys, employees or other representatives shall never constitute Tenant’s Electronic Signature or be otherwise binding on Tenant.  Subject to the limitations set forth above, the parties agree that a Document executed using an Electronic Signature and/or delivered in Electronic Format may be introduced into evidence in a proceeding arising out of or related to the Document as if it was a printed copy of the Document executed by the parties with original ink signatures.  Landlord shall have no obligation to retain copies of Documents with original ink signatures, and Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to discard originals and to retain only copies of Documents in Electronic Format.

17.           Notices.  All notices provided by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to the Lease shall be sent to the following addresses:
