Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Lease. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise

In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions set forth in the Lease,
Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

1.
The Term is hereby extended on all of the same terms and conditions set forth in
the Lease, as hereinafter modified, so that the Term shall expire at 11:59 PM on
December 31, 2020 (the "Renewal Expiration Date"), unless it shall sooner expire
pursuant to any of the terms, covenants or conditions set forth in the Lease, as
amended by this letter agreement, or pursuant to applicable law. Accordingly,
the Renewal Expiration Date shall be deemed to be the Fixed Expiration Date for
all purposes of the Lease, as amended by this letter agreement.

2.
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representations to Tenant with
respect to the condition of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that it is
currently occupying the Premises and agrees to take the same "as is" in the
condition existing on the date hereof and that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the Lease, as amended by this letter agreement, Landlord
shall have no obligation to perform any work, provide any work allowance or rent
credit, alter, improve, decorate, or otherwise prepare the Premises for Tenant's
continued occupancy.

4.
Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that it has not dealt with any
broker, finder or like agent in connection with this letter agreement other than
CBRE, Inc. ("Broker"). Tenant does hereby indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
of and from any and all loss, costs, damage or expense (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Landlord by reason of
any claim of or liability to any broker, finder or like agent (including,
without limitation, Broker) who shall claim to have dealt with Tenant in
connection herewith. The provisions of this Paragraph 3 shall survive the
expiration or termination of the Lease, as amended by this letter agreement.

Except as modified by this letter agreement, the Lease is hereby ratified and
confirmed.
