WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to enter into this Amendment in order to amend certain terms and provisions contained in the Lease regarding Landlord’s approval of subleasing by Tenant and Landlord’s cancellation and termination rights in connection therewith.

4.Landlord Termination Right. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Existing Lease to the contrary and without limiting any of Landlord’s rights under Section 6.3(e) of the Lease as amended hereby, Landlord shall have the right to terminate the Lease upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Tenant (the “Early Termination Notice”) specifying the effective date for such termination (the “Early Termination Date”), provided, however, that (a) the Early Termination Date shall not be earlier than January 30, 2018 (as the same may be extended by Tenant as provided in the following clause (b), the “Inside Early Termination Date”) and (b) Tenant shall have the right, exercisable by notice delivered to Landlord on or before October 31, 2017, to extend the Inside Early Termination Date to February 28, 2018. In the event that Tenant timely delivers such notice and Landlord has previously delivered an Early Termination Notice specifying an effective date of termination which is prior to February 28, 2018, then the effective date of termination hereunder shall be extended to February 28, 2018. In the event Landlord exercises the termination right set forth in this Section 4, then, notwithstanding anything contained in the Existing Lease to the contrary, the Lease shall terminate and expire on the Early Termination Date set forth in the Early Termination Notice as if such date were the Expiration Date for all purposes under the Lease, without penalty or fee to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4 to the contrary, in the event Landlord exercises its termination right hereunder, Landlord shall be bound by the terms of any sublease of a portion of the Premises hereafter consented to in writing by Landlord, subject to and in accordance with its terms.

5.Additional Terms for Landlord Consent to Transfers. In addition to the reasons set forth in the Existing Lease, Tenant agrees that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer in circumstances where the proposed transferee (a) would operate a call center, credit processing  center, or similar operation in any material portion of the Premises,   or (b) could reasonably be expected to increase Operating Expenses or wear and tear on the Building.

6.Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represent to the other that it has not dealt with any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Amendment, other than Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, representing Landlord, and Cushman & Wakefield of Massachusetts, Inc., representing Tenant. Tenant and Landlord shall each indemnify the other against all costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, liens and other liability arising from its own breach of the foregoing representation and for any commissions or other compensation claimed by its broker as due and owing on account of this Amendment.

7.Termination of Expansion and Extension Rights. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the terms and provisions contained in Section 10.21 (Right of First Offer), Section 10.22 (Expansion Space) and Section 10.23 (Option to Extend) of the Lease are hereby deleted from the Lease in their entirety and of no further force or effect.

8.Miscellaneous. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that, except as specifically amended by the terms of this Amendment, all of the terms, covenants and provisions of the Existing Lease are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect. Tenant hereby certifies, represents and warrants to Landlord that, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge and as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, (a) Landlord is not in default under the Existing Lease, and (b) no state of fact or condition exists which, upon either the passage of time and/or the giving of notice, could give rise to a default of Landlord under the Existing Lease. This Amendment may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, and by the exchange of facsimile or other electronic signatures with the same force and effect as original ink signatures. When each party has signed and delivered at least one (I) such counterpart, each counterpart shall be deemed an original, and, when taken together with the other signed counterparts, shall constitute one Amendment, which shall be binding upon and effective as to Landlord and Tenant as of the Second Amendment Effective Date. Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby represents and warrants to the other that the individual(s) executing this Amendment on their respective behalf are duly authorized to do so, and that such authorization remains in full force and effect and has not been modified or  revoked.
