Second Amendment, Landlord hereby agrees to abate Tenant's obligation to pay (i) Monthly Base Rent for the Building C

Costs Share Rent and Tax Share Rent for the Building B Premises for the period from June 1, 2013 through

Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, that results in termination of the Lease (as amended), Landlord shall be entitled to the
recovery of the amounts that were abated under the provisions of this Section 6.


	Refurbishment Allowance.  Tenant shall be entitled to renovate the tenant improvements in the
Building C Premises in accordance with this Section 6.  In connection therewith, Tenant shall be entitled to a tenant
refurbishment allowance (the "Refurbishment Allowance") in the amount of $346,796.50 (based on $14.50 per rentable square
foot of the Building C Premises) for the costs relating to the design and construction of renovations to the tenant improvements in
the Building C Premises that are to be permanently affixed to the Building C Premises (the "Refurbished
Improvements") and the other Refurbishment Allowance Items specified below.

6.1.    Refurbishment Allowance Items.  The Refurbishment Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord
for the following items and costs only (collectively the "Refurbishment Allowance Items"):  (a) payment of the fees of the
architect and engineer(s) retained by Tenant (if any), and payment of the fees incurred by, and the cost of documents and materials
supplied by, Landlord and Landlord's consultants in connection with the review of the plans and specifications prepared for the
Refurbished Improvements ("Refurbishment Drawings"), (b) the payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating
to construction of the Refurbished Improvements, (c) the cost of construction of the Refurbished Improvements including, without
limitation, testing and inspection costs, trash removal costs, and contractors' fees and general conditions, (d) the cost of any
changes in the Building when such changes are required by the Refurbishment Drawings or the Refurbished Improvements, such cost
to include all architectural and/or engineering fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith, and (e) the cost of furniture,
trade fixtures, equipment, moving costs and cabling for the Building C Premises and as a credit toward Monthly Base Rent for the
Building C Premises (collectively, the "Miscellaneous Items"), provided that the maximum amount of the Refurbishment
Allowance which may be applied toward the Miscellaneous Items under this Section 6.1(e) shall be $107,626.50 (based on $4.50
per rentable square foot).


6.2.    Refurbishment Drawings.  To the extent necessary based on the scope of the Refurbished
Improvements, Tenant shall retain an architect/space planner reasonably approved by Landlord (the "Architect") to prepare
any necessary Refurbishment Drawings for the Refurbished Improvements.  If necessary (as determined by Landlord in its reasonable
discretion), Tenant shall also retain the engineering consultants reasonably approved by Landlord (the "Engineers") to prepare
all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and life safety work of the
Refurbished Improvements.  Any Refurbishment Drawings shall be subject to Landlord's approval, which approval shall not
unreasonably withheld.





                                              -2-







6.3.    Contractor.  The contractor which shall construct the Improvements shall be a contractor selected
pursuant to the following procedure.  Initially, the Refurbishment Drawings shall be submitted by Landlord to a general contractor
mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant.  Landlord will request that such general contractor submit a bid to Landlord.  Upon
receipt of such bid, Landlord and Tenant shall make a determination as to whether such general contractor's bid is fair and reasonable
considering overall cost and ability to meet Landlord's construction schedule.  If the parties do agree to retain such general contractor,
such general contractor shall be required to submit all subcontracts to a competitive bidding process to at least three (3)
subcontractors.  If the parties are not able to agree upon a single general contractor, or if the mutually agreed upon general contractor's
bid is not considered fair and reasonable, then the Refurbishment Drawings shall be submitted by Landlord to three (3) general
contractors selected by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant.  Each such contractor shall be invited to submit a sealed, fixed
price contract bid (on such bid form as Landlord shall designate) to construct the Refurbished Improvements.  Each contractor shall be
notified in the bid package of the time schedule for construction of the Refurbished Improvements.  The subcontractors utilized by the
Contractor shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval and the bidding instructions shall provide that as to work affecting the
structure of the Building and/or the systems and equipment of the Building, Landlord shall be entitled to designate the subcontractors.
The bids shall be submitted promptly to Landlord and a reconciliation shall be performed by Landlord to adjust inconsistent or incorrect
assumptions so that a like-kind comparison can be made and a low bidder determined.  Landlord shall select the contractor based on
overall cost, reputation, and ability to meet Landlord's construction schedule.  The general contractor selected pursuant to this Section
6.3 shall be retained by Landlord and may be referred to herein as the "Contractor".  

6.4.    Cost of the Refurbished Improvements.  After the Refurbishment Drawings are approved by
Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a cost proposal in accordance with the Refurbishment Drawings, which cost
proposal shall include, as nearly as possible, all costs to be incurred in connection with the construction of the Refurbished
Improvements (the "Cost Proposal").  Tenant shall approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord prior to commencement
of construction.  In the event the cost of design and construction of the Refurbished Improvements and the other Refurbishment
Allowance Items exceeds the Refurbishment Allowance, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days after invoicing, an
amount (the "Over-Allowance Amount") equal to the difference between (a) the total cost of design and construction of
the Refurbished Improvements and the other Refurbishment Allowance Items and (b) the amount of the Refurbishment
Allowance.  In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any credit for any portion of the Refurbishment Allowance not used or applied by
December 31, 2013.

6.5.    Completion of the Refurbished Improvements.  Tenant acknowledges that the Refurbished
Improvements will be constructed in the Building C Premises during the existing Term and/or the Extended Term (as defined in
Section 3 of this Second Amendment), that certain inconveniences may be associated with such construction, but that Tenant
shall not be entitled to any abatement of rent nor shall Tenant be deemed to be constructively evicted from the Premises as a result of
such construction.  Except as specifically set forth in this Section 6, Tenant hereby agrees to accept the Premises in its "as-is"
condition and Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services
related to the improvement of the Premises.  Tenant also acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty
regarding the condition of the Premises.






	Tenant's Proportionate Shares.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease,
commencing as of September 1, 2013 and continuing during the remainder of the Extended Term, Section 4(b) of the
Schedule of the Original Lease shall be amended such that Tenant's Proportionate Share of all Operating Costs of the Project,
excluding all Operating Costs attributable to all or any portion of any Building in the Project, but including without limitation, landscape
costs, parking lot repair and maintenance, and Landlord's liability insurance costs, shall be 26.32% (based upon a total of 90,880
rentable square feet in the Buildings).



	Letter of Credit.  Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Second Amendment, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord an unconditional, irrevocable and renewable letter of credit ("Letter of Credit") in favor of Landlord in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit "A", issued by a financial institution satisfactory to Landlord, in the principal amount ("Stated
Amount") of $435,000.00, to be held by Landlord in accordance with the terms, provisions and



                                              -3-








conditions of this Second
Amendment.  Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining the Letter of Credit.  If the Letter of
Credit delivered by Tenant is inconsistent with the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A" (including, without limitation, the wrong
name or address for the Beneficiary), Landlord may so notify Tenant in writing, in which case Tenant shall cause the Letter of Credit to
be corrected within five (5) business days after such notice.  Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit if the credit
rating or financial condition of the issuer of the Letter of Credit is no longer acceptable to Landlord.  Following any such draw by
Landlord on the Letter of Credit solely because of the deterioration of the creditworthiness of the issuer of the Letter of Credit, Landlord
will disburse such Letter of Credit proceeds to Tenant provided (i) Tenant delivers to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit from
a financial institution satisfactory to Landlord in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A" within sixty (60) days after Landlord's
draw thereon, (ii) there exists no event of default with respect to any provision of the Lease (as amended), and (iii) Tenant
pays all of Landlord's fees and expenses incurred in connection with such disbursement; provided, however, if any of the three (3)
foregoing conditions are not satisfied, the proceeds received from such draw shall constitute Landlord's property (and not Tenant's
property or the property of the bankruptcy estate of Tenant) and Landlord may then use, apply or retain all or any part of the proceeds
for the purposes set forth in clauses (1) through (5) of Section 8.2 below.


8.1.   Existing Letters of Credit.  Upon Landlord's receipt of the Letter of Credit, Landlord shall promptly
return the letters of credit (or any proceeds thereof) held by Landlord under the Original Lease and the First Amendment, to
Tenant.

8.2.   Letter of Credit Terms.  The Letter of Credit shall state that an authorized officer or other
representative of Landlord may make demand on Landlord's behalf for the Stated Amount of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof,
and that the issuing bank must immediately honor such demand, without qualification or satisfaction of any conditions, except the
proper identification of the party making such demand.  In addition, the Letter of Credit shall indicate that it is transferable in its entirety
by Landlord as beneficiary and that upon receiving written notice of transfer, and upon presentation to the issuing bank of the original
Letter of Credit, the issuer or confirming bank will reissue the Letter of Credit naming such transferee as the beneficiary.  Tenant shall
be responsible for the payment to the issuing bank of any transfer costs imposed by the issuing bank in connection with any such
transfer.  If (A) the term of the Letter of Credit held by Landlord will expire prior to the last day of the Extended Term and the
Letter of Credit is not extended, or a new Letter of Credit for an extended period of time is not substituted, in either case at least sixty
(60) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit, or (B) Tenant commits a default with respect to any provision of the Lease
(as amended), including the filing of a voluntary petition under Title 11 of the United States Code (i.e., the Bankruptcy Code), or
otherwise becomes a debtor in any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, as now existing or hereinafter amended, or any
similar law or statute, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) draw upon all or any portion of the Stated Amount of the Letter of
Credit, and the proceeds received from such draw shall constitute Landlord's property (and not Tenant's property or the property of the
bankruptcy estate of Tenant) and Landlord may then use, apply or retain all or any part of the proceeds (1) for the payment of
any sum which is in default, (2) to reimburse Landlord for costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the Lease (as amended)
(including, without limitation, the unamortized portion of the Refurbishment Allowance, brokerage commissions and attorneys' fees
calculated over a sixty-five (65) month amortization period commencing as of September 1, 2013), (3) for the payment of any
other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's default, (4) to compensate
Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default or (5) as prepaid rent to be applied
against Tenant's Base Rent obligations for the last month of the Extended Term and the immediately preceding month(s) of the
Extended Term until the remaining proceeds are exhausted.  If any portion of the Letter of Credit proceeds are so used or applied,
Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, post an additional Letter of Credit in an amount to cause the aggregate
amount of the unused proceeds and such new Letter of Credit to equal the Stated Amount required in this Section 8 above.
Landlord shall not be required to keep any proceeds from the Letter of Credit separate from its general funds.  Should Landlord sell its
interest in the Building and if Landlord deposits with the purchaser thereof the Letter of Credit or any proceeds of the Letter of Credit,
thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Letter of Credit and said proceeds and Tenant shall
look solely to such transferee for the return of the Letter of Credit or any proceeds therefrom.  The Letter of Credit or any remaining
proceeds of the Letter of Credit held by Landlord after





                                              -4-








expiration of the Extended Term (as may be further extended), after any
deductions described in this Section 8 above, shall be returned to Tenant or, at Landlord's option, to the last assignee of Tenant's
interest, within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Extended Term.  The use, application or retention of the Letter of
Credit, the proceeds or any portion thereof, shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies provided under the
Lease, it being intended that Landlord shall not be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and such use, application or
retention of the Letter of Credit shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled.  No trust
relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Letter of Credit.


8.3.   Not a Security Deposit.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or
circumstance shall the Letter of Credit, any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or the proceeds thereof be (i) deemed to be or
treated as a "security deposit", or (ii) intended to serve as a "security deposit".  The parties hereto (A) recite that the Letter
of Credit is not intended to serve as a security deposit and any laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the
commercial context ("Security Deposit Laws") shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto and (B) waive any and all
rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit
Laws.







	Termination Option.  Provided Tenant fully and completely satisfies each of the conditions set
forth in this Section 9, Tenant shall have the option ("Termination Option") to terminate the Lease (as amended) with
respect to the Building C Premises effective as of August 31, 2016 only (the "Termination Date").  In order to
exercise the Termination Option, Tenant must fully and completely satisfy each and every one of the following conditions:
(a) Tenant must give Landlord written notice ("Termination Notice") of its exercise of the Termination Option, which
Termination Notice must be delivered to Landlord on or before August 31, 2015, (b) at the time of the Termination Notice
Tenant shall not be in default under the Lease (as amended) after expiration of applicable cure periods, and (c) concurrently with
Tenant's delivery of the Termination Notice to Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of a termination fee
("Termination Fee") in the total amount of $452,837.00 (which amount has been calculated based upon unamortized
refurbishment allowance, brokerage commissions and abated rent for both Building B and Building C).  The remaining fifty
percent (50%) of the Termination Fee must be paid to Landlord on or before the Termination Date.  Notwithstanding anything contained
in this Section 9 to the contrary, in the event Tenant fails to deliver the remaining portion of the Termination Fee to Landlord on or
before the Termination Date, Landlord shall have the option to either (1) deem the Termination Notice rescinded, in which case
the Lease (as amended) shall continue in full force and effect for the remainder of the Extended Term, or (2) deem the Lease
terminated as of the Termination Date and pursue any remedies Landlord may have against Tenant for failure to pay such Termination
Fee.  Notwithstanding Tenant's payment of the Termination Fee, Tenant shall remain responsible for payment of Base Rent and all
other obligations of Tenant under the Lease (as amended) through the Termination Date.


	Brokers.  Each party represents and warrants to the other that no broker, agent or finder
negotiated or was instrumental in negotiating or consummating this Second Amendment other than Broderick Group, Inc. (representing
Landlord) and Washington Partners (representing Tenant), each of whom shall be compensated by Landlord pursuant to separate
agreement.  Each party further agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any claim for
commission or finder's fee by any other person or entity who claims or alleges that they were retained or engaged by the first party or at
the request of such party in connection with this Second Amendment.


	Right of First Offer.  Section 30 of the Original Lease shall be null and void and of no further
force or effect.  


	Financial Statements.  If Tenant is not then publicly traded on a
major United States stock exchange (e.g., NYSE or NASDAQ), then within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's written
request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with current financial statements of Tenant and financial statements for the three (3) calendar or
fiscal years (if Tenant's fiscal year is other than a calendar year) prior to the current financial statement year.  Any such statements shall
be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an
independent certified public accountant.



                                              -5-









	Defaults.  Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that, as of the date of this Second
Amendment, Tenant is in full compliance with all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease and that there are no breaches or
defaults under the Lease by Landlord or Tenant, and that Tenant knows of no events or circumstances which, given the passage of
time, would constitute a default under the Lease by either Landlord or Tenant.


	No Further Modification.  Except as set forth in this Second Amendment, all of the terms and
provisions of the Lease shall apply during the Extended Term and shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.  Effective as of
the date hereof, all references to the "Lease" shall refer to the Lease as amended by this Second Amendment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Second Amendment has been executed as of the day and year first above
written.
