**Denotes optional Renewal period as described in Section 19 of the Sublease.

b.                   Additional Charges.

i.                  The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, with respect to the Second Floor Expansion Subleased Premises, the Sublease as amended hereby, is intended to be a Full Service Gross sublease and that commencing after the 2020 calendar year (“Second Floor Expansion Sublease Base Year”) Subtenant shall be responsible for the payment of Subtenant’s Expansion Share (as defined below) of all Operating Expenses that exceed the total amount of Operating Expenses payable by Sublandlord under the Prime Lease for the Second Floor Expansion Sublease Base Year (which will include both the pro-rated estimated amount on the Budget Sheet and the additional actual Operating Expenses according to the Landlord’s Statement). Subtenant shall also be responsible for the payment of Subtenant’s Expansion Share of all Building Operating Expenses (as defined below) that exceed the amount of Building Operating Expenses incurred by Sublandlord during the Second Floor Expansion Sublease Base Year. The amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3(b) are collectively referred to as, “Second Floor Expansion Additional Rent”, and together with Second Floor Expansion Gross Rent and all other amounts payable by Subtenant with respect to the Expansion Subleased Premises, “Second Floor Expansion Rent”. A copy of the Landlord Statement for the Second Floor Expansion Sublease Base Year expenses shall be provided to Subtenant.

ii.                  Payment of such amounts due hereunder shall be made by Subtenant in the same manner as Sublandlord shall be required to pay such amounts pursuant to the Prime Lease (except as specifically set forth below) and paid to Sublandlord for forwarding to the Prime Landlord.

iii.                  “Subtenant’s Second Floor Expansion Share” is equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable area of the Second Floor Expansion Subleased Premises and the denominator of which is the total rentable area of the Building excluding areas designated as common areas for the use of subtenants under the Prime Lease by Sublandlord.

iv.                    “Building Operating Expenses” are expenses incurred by Sublandlord in connection with the operation, maintenance, and repair of areas of the Building designated by Sublandlord as common areas for the use of subtenants under the Prime Lease, but only to the extent that such expenses would constitute “Operating Expenses” under the Prime Lease if incurred by Prime Landlord in connection with the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Building Complex; provided, however, in no event shall any Operating Expenses or Building Operating Expenses be duplicative of each other.

c.                   Subtenant's Covenant to Pay Rent. Subtenant's obligation to pay Second Floor Expansion Rent shall commence on the Second Floor Expansion Date. Second Floor Expansion Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments in advance on the first (1st) day of each and every calendar month during the Term, without setoff, deduction, notice or demand at the address of Sublandlord set forth in Section 12 of the Sublease.

4.                   Second Floor Expansion Work. Sublandlord covenants and agrees to complete the work identified on Exhibit B (the “Second Floor Expansion Work”) attached to this Amendment and to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Second Floor Expansion Work on or before January 1, 2020. Sublandlord agrees to promptly submit the plans for the Second Floor Expansion Work to the Prime Landlord for prior approval in accordance with the Prime Lease. Sublandlord shall warrant that the Second Floor Expansion Work is designed, engineered and constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, free of any latent defects, liens or other encumbrances, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Prime Lease, and all applicable laws for a period of one (1) year following completion of the Second Floor Expansion Work. Sublandlord shall be responsible for any costs associated with completion of the Second Floor Expansion Work. Sublandlord’s obligations under this Amendment to deliver the Second Floor Expansion Subleased Premises to Subtenant is contingent and conditioned upon Prime Landlord approving the Second Floor Expansion Work.

5.                   FF&E.

a.                   Sublandlord shall not remove that certain furniture, fixture, and equipment that was located in the Second Floor Expansion Subleased Premises when Subtenant toured the space on September 23, 2019 (collectively, the “Second Floor Expansion FF&E”) from the Second Floor Expansion Subleased Premises prior to the Second Floor Expansion Date and the Second Floor Expansion FF&E shall remain in the Second Floor Expansion Subleased Premises upon delivery thereof to Subtenant.

b.                   For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and (to the extent that it constitutes Tenant’s Property under the Prime Lease) Sublandlord, does hereby transfer, bargain and convey to Subtenant, all Second Floor Expansion FF&E with such transfer and conveyance to be effective upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease. The Second Floor Expansion FF&E shall be conveyed to Buyer on a quitclaim, “as is,” “where is” and “with all faults” basis, without representations, warranties and/or covenants, express or implied, of any kind or nature.

c.                   Subtenant shall be responsible for the removal of all Second Floor Expansion FF&E from the Second Floor Expansion Subleased Premises at the expiration of the Term pursuant and subject to the requirements of the Prime Lease applicable thereto.

6.                   Parking. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Subtenant shall have the parking rights and obligations of Sublandlord that are allocated or attributable to the Second Floor Expansion Subleased Premises based on Subtenant’s Second Floor Expansion Share. Any right to utilize a fractional portion of a parking space allocated to the Second Floor Expansion Subleased Premises shall be retained by Sublandlord for its benefit such that the number of parking spaces allocated to the Second Floor Expansion Subleased Premises is a whole number. Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord rental of $100 per month per each of the Covered Parking Spaces allocated to Subtenant pursuant to this Section 6 as Rent.

7.                   Security Deposit. No additional deposit shall be due in connection with the Second Floor Expansion Subleased Premises. Within thirty (30) Days after the date that Prime Landlord consents to the terms of this Amendment by execution and delivery to Sublandlord of the Consent of Prime Landlord, Sublandlord shall refund to Subtenant the Security Deposit for the Third (3^rd) Floor Premises, which is equal to $37,039.00. Following the refund of the Security Deposit for the Third Floor Premises, the parties agree that the remaining Security Deposit held by Sublandlord is $274,623.75, which Sublandlord shall continue to hold in accordance with Section 16 of the Sublease for the remainder of the sublease term.

8.                   Right of First Offer. Section 18 of the Sublease is hereby terminated with respect to the Second Floor Expansion Subleased Premises but will remain in effect for the remainder of the First Offer Space.

11.                Miscellaneous.

a.                   Full Force and Effect. Except as amended by this Amendment, the Sublease remains in in full force and effect and is hereby ratified by Sublandlord and Subtenant. In the event of any conflict between the Sublease, First Sublease Amendment, the Second Sublease Amendment, the Third Sublease Amendment and this Amendment, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall control. For the purpose of clarity, nothing in this Amendment shall be construed as an approval of Subtenant’s plans.
