3.    Article 1, Section 1.1 the definitions of "Base Operating Costs" and "Base Taxes" are 











deleted in their entirety.


4.        The first four paragraphs of Section 4.2.1 are deleted and the following four paragraphs are substituted in place of the deleted four paragraphs:


4.2.1    Real Estate Taxes. In addition to Annual Fixed Rent under Section 4.1 and Operating Cost under Section 4.2.2, as additional rent, Tenant shall pay all Taxes as hereinafter defined in this Section 4.2.1 (the "Real Estate Taxes"). Each year during the term of this Lease (a "Tax Year"), the Landlord shall make and provide a good faith estimate of the Taxes for the upcoming calendar year (the "Estimated Taxes"). Any amounts paid based on such an estimate shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided within one hundred fifty (150) calendar days of the conclusion of each calendar year of the Term, or as soon thereafter as possible. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.2.1, Tenant shall pay the Real Estate Taxes to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the date or dates within any year during the term hereof that the same, or any fractional share thereof, shall be due and payable to any governmental authority responsible for collection of same (as stated in a notice to Tenant given at least forty-five (45) days prior to the date or dates any such payment shall be due, which notice shall set forth the manner of computation of any Real Estate Tax).


Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent on the first day of each calendar month during the term but otherwise in the manner provided for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent, estimated payments on account of the Real Estate Taxes, such monthly amounts to be sufficient to provide Landlord by the time Tax payments are due or are to be made by Landlord a sum equal to the Real Estate Taxes, as reasonably estimated  by  Landlord from time to time on account of Taxes for the then current Tax Year. If the total of such monthly remittances for any Tax Year is greater than the Real Estate Taxes for such Tax Year, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against Tenant's subsequent obligations on account of Taxes (or promptly refund such overpayment if the term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligations to Landlord); if the total of such remittances is less than the Real Estate Taxes for such Tax Year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days after being so notified by Landlord.


If, after Tenant  shall have made all payments due to Landlord  pursuant  to  this subsection 4.2.1, Landlord shall receive a refund of any portion of Taxes as a result of an abatement of such Taxes by legal proceedings, settlement or otherwise (without either party having any obligation to undertake any such proceedings), Landlord shall pay or credit to Tenant the percentage of the refund (after first deducting any reasonable expenses, including attorneys', consultants' and appraisers' fees, incurred in connection with obtaining any such refund) which equals the percentage of the applicable Tax Year included in the term hereof, provided however, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive more than the sum of payments actually made by Tenant on account of Taxes with respect to such Tax Year.


In the event that the term of this Lease shall expire or be terminated during any Tax Year, or should the Tax Year or period of assessment of real estate taxes be changed or be more or less than one (1) year, then the amount of Real Estate Taxes which may be otherwise payable by Tenant as provided in this subsection 4.2.1 shall be pro-rated on a daily basis based on a 360 day Tax Year.


5.    The first paragraph of Section 4.2.2 is deleted and the following paragraph is substituted in place of the deleted first paragraph and all reference in Section 4.2.2 to "Operating Cost Excess" is amended to delete the word "Excess" and read "Operating Costs":


4.2.2    Operating Costs. In addition to Annual Fixed Rent under Section 4.1 and Real Estate 











Taxes under Section 4.2.1, as Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay all "Operating Expenses" as hereinafter defined in Section 4.2.2 of the Lease. Each year during the term of this Lease (an "Operating Year"), the Landlord shall make and provide a good faith estimate of the Operating Costs for the Building for the upcoming calendar year (the "Estimated Operating Costs"). Any amounts paid based on such an estimate shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided within one hundred fifty (150) calendar days of the conclusion of each calendar year of the Term, or as soon thereafter as possible, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of actual Operating Costs for such year prepared, allocated and computed in accordance with the then prevailing custom and practices of the real estate industry in the Marietta, Georgia area consistently applied, when actual Operating Costs are available for such calendar year. The estimated Operating Costs for the calendar year 2017 is $9.86 per rentable square feet.


6.    Leasehold Improvements. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant, prior to the execution  hereof,  has  occupied  the  Premises  since  May  of 2013  and  made an independent determination that the Premises and the existing Leasehold Improvements are suitable for Tenant's intended use and Tenant accepts the Leased Premises and existing Leasehold Improvements "AS-IS," and that, subject to the terms of the Lease, the Landlord does not have any further obligation to make any Leasehold Improvements, except the following:

(ii)Landlord at Landlord's expense shall construct an expanded parking area increasing current parking by 57 parking spaces as soon as commercially possible, but not to exceed six (6) months from the date of this First Amendment, subject to weather delays or delays obtaining all required governmental approval (permitting).


7.     Brokers. Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant has dealt with Jones Lang LaSalle and Avison Young as Tenant's broker in connection with this First Amendment and that, insofar as Landlord and Tenant know, no other broker(s) negotiated this First Amendment or is entitled to any commission in connection herewith. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against all claims (and costs of defending and investigating such claims) of any other broker(s) or similar parties claiming under Tenant in connection with this First Amendment. Landlord has contracted separately with Jones Lang LaSalle for the payment of a commission on this transaction.


8.    Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant stipulate and agree that pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Tenant provided and Landlord is holding the following Letter of Credit as a security deposit, to-wit:
