successor-in-interest to Cobalt Industrial REIT, and Tenant are
parties to that certain Industrial Building Lease dated October 2,

Comers East, Norcross, Georgia; and


WHEREAS, the Term of the Lease expired
on June 30, 2017, but Tenant has remained in possession of the
Premises; and


WHEREAS, the parties desire to reduce
the size of the Premises, extend the term of the Lease and
otherwise modify the Lease as set forth herein; and


WHEREAS, any capitalized terms not
otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Lease.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the mutual receipt and legal
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant
hereby agree as follows:


1. Ratification
of Lease. By their respective execution of this Amendment, each of
Landlord and Tenant (i) acknowledge and agree that the Lease
remains in full force and effect, and (ii) ratify and confirm the
Lease in all respects, subject only to the terms and conditions of
this Amendment.


2. Extension
of Term. The Term is hereby extended to expire at 11:59PM local
time on March 31, 2021. For purposes of this Amendment, (i) the
period between January 1, 2018 and March 31, 2018 shall be known as
the "Interim Term," and (ii) the period between April 1, 2018 and
March 31, 2021 shall be known as the "Extension Term."


3. Reduction
of Premises. Effective
immediately on the Effective Date of this Amendment, the "Premises"
shall be reduced to consist of approximately 12,835 Rentable Square
Feet out of the Original Premises, known as Suite 5835-B in the
Building, as shown on Exhibit A
attached hereto. The Effective Date is
the date of Landlord's execution of this Amendment after Tenant has
executed and delivered same to Landlord, as indicated
above.

Space. As of the Effective
Date, the Lease shall be deemed terminated with respect to the
remaining 10,200 Rentable Square Feet of the Original Premises (the

clean and in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and
tear excepted, and shall remove all of Tenant’s Property from
the Surrendered Space, all as verified by Landlord's inspection.

delivery of the Surrendered Space in the condition required by this
paragraph, neither Tenant nor any party claiming by, through or
under Tenant shall have or claim any right to occupy the
Surrendered Space or any part thereof, and Tenant shall be released

than those covenants, obligations (including indemnity obligations)
and liabilities which survive the termination of the Lease pursuant
to the express terms thereof.

in accordance with the provisions of a separate commission
agreement. Each party shall indemnify the other party against all

broker or agent claiming the same by, through, or under the
