 Exhibit 10.1 

Cascade Microtech, Inc. 
 2013 Employee Incentive Plan 
 Overview: 

The objective of the Cascade Microtech, Inc. 2013 Employee Incentive Plan (“the Plan”) is to motivate and reward performing employees of Cascade
Microtech, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) for their contributions to the Company’s success by aligning the goals of each employee with those of the Company. 

Effective Date: 
 This Plan is effective
as of January 1, 2013. This Plan replaces or supersedes all previous Cascade Incentive Plan (“CIP”) documents and plan descriptions, under which employees were previously eligible. 

Definitions: 
 “Compensation”
means wages paid to an employee exclusive of allowances, discretionary bonuses and service or recognition awards; in compliance and consistent with the regulations and regular business practices in each location where Company does business as
determined by the Plan Administrator. 
 “Executive” means the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and each Vice President who
reports directly to the CEO. 
 “EMT” means executive management team. 
 “MDCC” means the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. 
 “Function or Group” means any one of the following (1) Finance/IT/Legal, (2) Human Resources, (3) Administrative Staff, (4) Sales Support, (5) Operations,
(6) Marketing and (7) Engineering or any other groups as determined by the Plan Administrator. 
 “Plan Administrator” means
the MDCC or the person(s) appointed by the MDCC, the CEO or the VP of HR who are responsible for carrying out the terms of this Plan. 

Eligibility: 
 Each Company employee is
eligible to participate in the Plan if the employee meets all of the criteria listed below: 
  

	 	•	 	 Is an active, regular, full-time or part time employee of the Company during the Incentive Period (as defined below). 

 

	 	•	 	 Is on the Company’s payroll on the date of the incentive payment(s). 

 

	 	•	 	 Is meeting performance expectations. 

  

	 	•	 	 Is not participating in the sales plan or other incentive plan. 

 Incentive Periods: 
 There are two incentive periods each year: (1) January 1
through June 30, and (2) July 1 through December 31 (each, an “Incentive Period”). 
 Target Incentive:

 The annual target incentive (“Annual Target Incentive”) is a percentage of each eligible employee’s Compensation, based on
their salary grade or equivalent. The target incentive percentage for each salary grade or equivalent will be determined by management and will be communicated to each individual.

 Performance Criteria and Metrics: 
 The Plan is designed to motivate and reward two types of performance: (1) financial performance and (2) team performance. The financial goal for each Incentive Period will be a Revenue target
set by the Board. The Team Performance Goals are quantifiable performance objectives for each Function. The payouts for each Incentive Period will be determined based on the level of achievement of the performance targets established for that
Incentive Period. 
 Incentive Award Determination: 
 For each Incentive Period, the incentive award will be based on the level of achievement of the Revenue Target. Achievement of Team Performance Goals may increase the total incentive payout by up to 10%.

 Revenue Target: 
 Any payout
on the Revenue Target is contingent upon achieving at least a threshold of 80% the applicable target. If the Revenue Target threshold is achieved, the payout will be an agreed upon amount of the total possible payout for the Incentive Period. The
payout increases linearly at an agreed upon rate until the Revenue Target is achieved. For revenue levels in excess of the Revenue Target the payout increases linearly at a faster rate. There is a 200% cap on possible payout. 

Team Performance Goals: 
 Completion or
achievement of Team Performance Goals will be evaluated at the end of each Incentive Period. Accomplishment will be scaled from 1 to 10 with 10 being the best score. Based on the rating, the corresponding percentage will be applied to the earned
incentive and added to the payout. 
 Timing: 
 Any incentive payable under the Plan shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable following the date of the public earnings release. 
 Funding of Incentive Pool: 
 In order to ensure that the cash awards are balanced between
Company and shareholder needs, the Board approves a minimum annual operating profit threshold for the incentive period. The operating profit threshold must be achieved before there can be an incentive payout. In calculating whether the threshold is
met, the financial impact from M&A or divestiture activity may be removed from all calculations. Other changes may be made for significant one-time adjustment. Once the threshold has been reached, the funding increases linearly at an agreed upon
rate. For operating profits in excess of the target, the funding increases linearly at a faster rate 
 Administrative Discretion:

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, incentives will be paid at the sole discretion of the Company. The amount of an award for non-Executive
employees is at the discretion of the CEO. The CEO has authority to increase, decrease or eliminate any incentive award to non-Executive employees under the Plan. The MDCC and Board retain the right to amend any incentive awards as deemed necessary.
The previous timing or payment of incentives does not dictate timing of future incentive periods, nor guarantee payment of future incentives or compensation of any kind. 
 Pro-Rated Awards: 
 For employees hired after the beginning of an Incentive Period, awards,
if any, will be pro-rated based on the date of hire. 
 Leaves of Absence: 
 Employees who are on an approved leave of absence during an Incentive Period may be eligible for a pro-rated incentive amount provided they have been actively employed during the period, have received an
acceptable performance rating, the pool has funded, and the employee is an active employee of the Company when incentives are paid.

 Promotions/Transfers: 
 If any employee transfers from one position to another position (with a higher, lower, or same target incentive), or to another Functional Group during an Incentive Period, the incentive amount will be
apportioned based on the amount of time spent at each incentive target or with each group. 
 Termination of Employment: 

An employee who ceases employment with the Company for any reason prior to the last day of an Incentive Period ceases to be an eligible employee in this
Plan and is not eligible for any payments. In addition, an employee who ceases employment with the Company for any reason prior to the date incentives are paid will not be eligible for any payments. 

An employee’s employment ceases as of the date he/she is no longer actively providing services to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates. The employee’s eligibility under the Plan will terminate on that date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the employment period would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden
leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the employee is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement); the Plan Administrators shall have the exclusive discretion to determine
when the employee is no longer employed for purposes of the incentive award. 
 Tax Withholding: 

The Company shall deduct or withhold amounts for applicable Country, Federal, State, local, employment and other taxes or amounts required to be withheld
with respect to any payment under the Plan. 
 Administration: 
 The Plan Administrators shall have complete discretion and authority to administer the Plan. The Plan Administrators may delegate the administration of the Plan to such persons as deemed appropriate. Any
determination, decision or action of the Plan Administrators or any delegate in connection with the administration or application of the Plan shall be final. 
 Modification, Interpretation, and/or Termination of the Plan: 
 The Company reserves the
right to modify or terminate the Plan at its sole discretion, at any time, with or without written notification. 
 At Will: 

The existence of, or an employee’s eligibility to participate in, this Plan shall not be deemed to give the employee any unique or additional right
to be retained in the employ of the Company and shall not change employees’ employment status.

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE (this “Second Amendment”) is dated as of the 25th day of February, 2013, between NIMBUS
CENTER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and CASCADE MICROTECH, INC., an Oregon corporation (“Tenant”). 
 RECITALS 
 A.        Landlord (as
successor-in-interest to OR-Nimbus Corporate Center, L.L.C.) and Tenant are parties to a lease dated as of April 2, 1999 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by First Amendment dated as of January 10, 2007 (the “First
Amendment”, and together with the Original Lease, collectively referred to herein as the “Lease”), pursuant to which Tenant leases from Landlord certain premises (the “Existing Premises”) consisting of the entire building
located at 9100 SW Gemini Drive, Beaverton, Oregon commonly known as Nimbus Building 6 (the “Building”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease. 

B.        The Term is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2014. 

C.        Landlord and Tenant presently desire to amend the Lease to (i) extend the Term for
an additional period of five (5) years, (ii) add additional space in the Project to the Premises, (ii) grant Tenant a right of first offer with respect to certain space in the Project, and (iv) provide for certain other Lease
modifications, all as more particularly set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the parties
hereto agree as follows: 
 1.        Extension of
Term.    The Term is hereby extended for a period (the “Extension Term”) of five (5) years commencing as of January 1, 2015 and ending on December 31, 2019 (the “New Termination Date”).
Effective as of the date hereof, all references in the Lease to the termination or expiration date of the Lease shall be deemed to be references to the New Termination Date. During the Extension Term, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of
the Lease shall be applicable, except as set forth herein. Except as set forth in Paragraph 9 below, Tenant shall not have any option or right to extend the Term beyond the New Termination Date. 

2.        Base Rent.    Prior to the commencement of the Extension
Term, Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent in the amount set forth in the Lease. Effective as of January 1, 2015 and continuing thereafter during the Extension Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the Premises equal to the Prevailing Market
(hereinafter defined) rate per rentable square foot for the Premises, which shall be determined as set forth in this Paragraph 2. Base Rent during the Extension Term shall change, if at all, in accordance with the changes assumed in the
determination of Prevailing Market rate. 
 a.        Procedure for Determining
Prevailing Market.    The Prevailing Market rate for the Premises shall be mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant in writing within the period commencing June 1, 2014 and ending July 31, 2014. When Landlord and
Tenant have agreed upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises, such agreement shall be reflected in a written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, whether in a letter or otherwise, and Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal
Amendment (as defined below) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises on or before July 31, 2014, then the Prevailing Market rate for the
Premises shall be established by appraisal in accordance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. 
 b.        Renewal Amendment.    Once the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises has been determined, Landlord shall prepare an amendment
(the “Renewal Amendment”) to reflect changes in the Base Rent and other appropriate terms. The Renewal Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after the agreement (or deemed agreement) by Landlord and Tenant regarding
the Prevailing Market rate, and Tenant shall execute and return the Renewal Amendment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of same, subject to any extensions in such time during which the parties are negotiating the
terms of such Renewal Amendment in good faith.

 c.        Definition of Prevailing
Market.    For purposes of this Paragraph 2, “Prevailing Market” shall mean the arm’s length fair market annual rental rate per rentable square foot under leases and renewal amendments entered into on or

which the Premises is located in the Beaverton, Oregon / Highway 217 submarket. The determination of Prevailing Market shall take into account any material economic differences between the terms of the Lease and any comparison lease or
amendment, such as rent abatements, construction costs and other concessions and the manner, if any, in which the landlord under any such lease is reimbursed for operating expenses and taxes. The determination of Prevailing Market shall also take
into consideration any reasonably anticipated changes in the Prevailing Market rate from the time such Prevailing Market rate is being determined and the time such Prevailing Market rate will become effective under the Lease.

 i.        Permitted
Use.    Tenant shall use the Suite 9500 Must Take Space for the Permitted Use, as such term is defined in the Basic Lease Information of the Lease, as modified by Section 8 of the First Amendment. 

7.        Right of First Offer. 

a.        Grant of Option; Conditions.    Tenant
shall have the one time right of first offer (the “Right of First Offer”) with respect to each of the following spaces (each, an “Offering Space”): (i) the space consisting of 5,255 rentable square feet on the first
(1st) floor of the building located at 9000, 9020,
9030, 9040, and 9090 SW Gemini Drive, Beaverton, Oregon, commonly known as Nimbus Building 8 (“Building 8”), and shown on the demising plan attached hereto as Exhibit I-1; and (ii) the space consisting
of 3,233 rentable square feet on the first
(1st) floor of Building 8, and shown on the
demising plan attached hereto as Exhibit I-2, (iii) the space consisting of 3,233 rentable square feet on the first (1st) floor of Building 8, and shown on the demising plan attached hereto as Exhibit I-3, and
(iv) the space consisting of 4,000 rentable square feet on the first (1st) floor of Building 8, as shown on the demising plan attached hereto as Exhibit I-4. Tenant’s Right of First Offer shall be exercised, if at
all, as follows: at any time after Landlord has determined that the existing tenant in an Offering Space will not extend or renew the term of its lease for such Offering Space, whether pursuant to a then existing right or pursuant to new
arrangements with Landlord, and prior to leasing such Offering Space to a party other than the existing tenant, Landlord shall advise Tenant (the “Advice”) of the terms under which Landlord is prepared to lease such Offering Space to
Tenant for the remainder of the Term, which terms shall reflect the Prevailing Market (hereinafter defined) rate for such Offering Space as reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant may lease such Offering Space in its entirety only, under such
terms (but with a term expiring coterminously with the term of the Lease), by delivering written notice of exercise to Landlord (the “Notice of Exercise”) within ten (10) business days after the date of the Advice, except that Tenant
shall have no such Right of First Offer and Landlord need not provide Tenant with an Advice, if: 

(1)        Tenant is in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure periods at the time
that Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or 
 (2)         More than 20,000
rentable square feet of the Premises is sublet by Tenant, other than to an affiliate or subsidiary with Landlord’s prior written consent pursuant to Article 21 of the Lease, at the time Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or

 (3)        The Lease has been assigned prior to the date Landlord would otherwise
deliver the Advice; or 
 (4)        Tenant is not occupying the Premises on the date
Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or 
 (5)        The Offering Space is not
intended for the exclusive use of Tenant during the Term; or 
 (6)        The existing
tenant in the Offering Space is interested in extending or renewing its lease for the Offering Space or entering into a new lease for such Offering Space, whether pursuant to a then existing right or pursuant to new arrangements with Landlord.

 b.        Terms for Offering Space. 

(1)        The term for an Offering Space shall commence upon the commencement date stated in
the Advice and thereupon such Offering Space shall be considered a part of the Premises, provided that all of the terms stated in the Advice shall govern Tenant’s leasing of the Offering Space and only to the extent that they do not conflict
with the Advice, the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the Offering Space. 

(2)        Tenant shall pay Base Rent and Additional Rent for an Offering Space in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Advice, which terms and conditions shall reflect the Prevailing Market rate for such Offering Space as determined in Landlord’s reasonable judgment. 

  
 7 

 (3)        An Offering Space (including
improvements and personalty, if any) shall be accepted by Tenant in its condition and as-built configuration existing on the earlier of the date Tenant takes possession of such Offering Space or as of the date the term for such Offering Space
commences, unless the Advice specifies any work to be performed or improvement allowances to be given by Landlord in such Offering Space, in which case Landlord shall perform such work or give such improvement allowances in such Offering Space. If
Landlord is delayed delivering possession of an Offering Space due to the holdover or unlawful possession of such space by any party, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain possession of the space, and the commencement of the term for such
Offering Space shall be postponed until the date Landlord delivers possession of such Offering Space to Tenant free from occupancy by any party. 
 c.        Termination of Right of First Offer.    The rights of Tenant hereunder with respect to each Offering Space that is subject to
an Advice shall terminate on the earlier to occur of: (ii) Tenant’s failure to exercise its Right of First Offer within the fifteen (15) day period provided in Paragraph 2.a. above; and (iii) the date Landlord would have
provided Tenant an Advice if Tenant had not been in violation of one or more of the conditions set forth in Paragraph 2.a. above; provided that all of Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 2 shall terminate on December 31, 2015.

 d.        Offering Amendment.    If Tenant exercises its
Right of First Offer, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “Offering Amendment”) adding the Offering Space to the Premises on the terms set forth in the Advice and reflecting the changes in the Base Rent, rentable square footage of the
Premises, Tenant’s Proportionate Share and other appropriate terms. A copy of the Offering Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise executed by Tenant, and Tenant shall
execute and return the Offering Amendment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days thereafter, but an otherwise valid exercise of the Right of First Offer shall be fully effective whether or not the Offering Amendment is executed. 

e.        Definition of Prevailing Market.    For purposes of this
Right of First Offer provision, “Prevailing Market” shall have the meaning set forth in Paragraph 1.c. above, with references to the “Premises” being deemed references to the “Offering Space”, and for such
purposes, the determination of Prevailing Market shall also include any tenant improvement allowance with respect to each Offering Space. 
 f.        Subordination.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant’s Right of First Offer is subject and
subordinate to the expansion rights existing on the date hereof (whether such rights are designated as a right of first offer, right of first refusal, expansion option or otherwise) of any tenant of the Building. 

8.        Landlord Work; Existing Premises “As
Is”.    Tenant shall accept the Existing Premises in its as-is condition as of the date of this Second Amendment, and, except as provided in the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Work
Letter”), Landlord shall have no obligation to make or pay for any alterations, additions, improvements or renovations in or to the Existing Premises. Following the full execution of this Second Amendment, Tenant shall be permitted to perform
certain improvements to the Existing Premises (the “Existing Premises Improvements”) as described in the Work Letter. 

9.        Renewal Option.    The Renewal Option set forth in
Section 6 of the First Amendment shall apply on the terms and conditions set forth therein, except that (i) Tenant shall be entitled to two (2) consecutive options of five (5) years each to renew the Term (each a “Renewal
Term”), (ii) the Initial Renewal Notice with respect to the first Renewal Term must be delivered, if at all, no later than December 31, 2018 and no earlier than October 1, 2018, (iii) the Initial Renewal Notice with respect
to the second Renewal Term must be delivered, if at all, no later than December 31, 2023 and no earlier than October 1, 2023, (iv) the first Renewal Term shall be one (1) additional period of five (5) years commencing on
January 1, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2024, (v) the second Renewal Term shall be one (1) additional period of five (5) years commencing on January 1, 2025 and ending on December 31, 2029, and (vi) the

the date Tenant provides Landlord with the Rejection Notice, the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises shall be established by appraisal in accordance with the procedure set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.”. In addition to the
foregoing, Tenant may, at the time Tenant delivers its Renewal Notice for either Renewal Term, notify Landlord that Tenant intends to exercise the Renewal Option respect to only a portion of the Premises then leased by Tenant; provided that if the
portion of the Premises being renewed by Tenant results in Tenant leasing less than 3,000 square feet in any suite in Building 9, Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the costs of all construction Landlord
determines 

  
 8 

 
necessary, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to properly demise the portion of the Premises located in Building 9 being renewed by Tenant, and provided that the portion of the Premises
being renewed must include all of Building 6. 
 10.        Liquid Nitrogen
Tank.    Section 9.02 of the First Amendment is amended as follows: “Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, Landlord acknowledges that Tenant currently stores liquid nitrogen in one tank
(the “Liquid Nitrogen Tank”) outside of the Premises at the location outlined in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Liquid Nitrogen Storage Area”). Tenant shall use the Liquid Nitrogen Tank and Liquid
Nitrogen Area in a safe and clean manner and in accordance with all applicable Regulations. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining all necessary governmental and regulatory approvals and for the cost of installing, operating, maintaining
and removing the Liquid Nitrogen Tank. Tenant shall also be responsible for the cost of all utilities consumed in the operation of the Liquid Nitrogen Tank. Any increase in the size or number of the Liquid Nitrogen Tanks shall be subject to
Landlord’s prior written consent.” 
 11.        Condensing
Unit.    Section 23A of the First Amendment is replaced with the following: “With Landlord’s approval, Tenant has installed a compressor-condensing unit (the “Condensing Unit”) for the purpose of
providing an external cooling source for the interior air-handling unit shown as shaded and labeled “AHU” on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining all necessary governmental
and regulatory approvals and for the cost of operating, maintaining and removing the Condensing Unit. In addition to and without limiting Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, Tenant shall comply with all applicable environmental and fire
prevention laws pertaining to Tenant’s use of the Condensing Unit Area. Tenant shall also be responsible for the cost of all utilities consumed in the operation of the Condensing Unit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Tenant
removes the Condensing Unit from the Condensing Unit Area for reasons other than the repair and replacement of the Condensing Unit, Tenant’s right to install and maintain the Condensing Unit and to use the Condensing Unit Area shall be null and
void.” 
 12.        HVAC Units.    Landlord agrees that
Tenant shall be required to remove any existing and new HVAC units located in Building 6 as set forth in the Lease upon the expiration of the Term. Tenant shall not be required to remove any existing (as of the date of this Amendment) HVAC
units from Building 9 upon the expiration of the Term; provided, however, that Tenant shall be required to restore any supplemental HVAC units which Tenant has installed in Building 9 after the date of this Amendment upon the expiration of
the Term. 
 13.        Insurance.    Section 8(B) of
the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: “Tenant shall maintain the following insurance (“Tenant’s Insurance”): (a) Commercial General Liability Insurance applicable to the Premises and
its appurtenances providing, on an occurrence basis, a minimum combined single limit of $2,000,000.00; (b) Property and Income Coverage Insurance written on an All Risk or Special Cause of Loss Form, including earthquake sprinkler leakage, at
replacement cost value and with a replacement cost endorsement covering all of Tenant’s business and trade fixtures, equipment, movable partitions, furniture, merchandise and other personal property within the Premises (“Tenant’s
Property”) and any Leasehold Improvements performed by or for the benefit of Tenant; (c) Workers’ Compensation Insurance in amounts required by Law; and (d) Employers Liability Coverage of at least $1,000,000.00 per occurrence.
Any company writing Tenant’s Insurance shall have an A.M. Best rating of not less than A-VIII. All Commercial General Liability Insurance policies shall name as additional insureds Landlord (or its successors and assignees), the managing
agent for the Building (or any successor), and their respective members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, and agents, and other designees of Landlord and its successors as the interest of such designees shall
appear. In addition, Landlord shall be named as a loss payee with respect to Tenant’s Property Insurance on the Leasehold Improvements. All policies of Tenant’s Insurance shall contain endorsements that the insurer(s) shall give Landlord
and its designees at least 30 days’ advance written notice of any cancellation, termination, material change or lapse of insurance. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance evidencing Tenant’s Insurance within
five days of Landlord’s request and thereafter as necessary to assure that Landlord always has current certificates evidencing Tenant’s Insurance. So long as the same is available at commercially reasonable rates, Landlord shall maintain
so called All Risk property insurance on the Building at replacement cost value as reasonably estimated by Landlord, together with such other insurance coverage as Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, may elect to maintain.” 

14.        Hazardous Materials.    The fourth sentence of
Section 4(D) of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may handle, store, use and dispose of (i) products containing small quantities of Hazardous

 9 

 
copiers) to the extent customary and necessary for the Permitted Use of the Premises, and (ii) those products listed on the Hazardous Substances Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit F
which are reasonably required by Tenant to be used and/or kept in the Premises in connection with Tenant’s Permitted Use; provided that Tenant shall always handle, store, use and dispose of any such Hazardous Materials in a safe and lawful
manner and never allow such Hazardous Materials to contaminate the Premises, Building or Project or surrounding land or environment.” Exhibit E to the Lease shall be deleted and replaced with the attached Exhibit K. 

15.         Deleted Provision.    The conditional obligation to repay
Abated Base Rent under Section 2 of the First Amendment in the event of default expires upon execution of this Second Amendment. 
 16.        Real Estate Brokers.    Tenant represents and warrants that it has negotiated this Amendment directly with Shorenstein Realty
Services, L.P., on behalf of Landlord, and Cresa Portland, LLC, on behalf of Tenant (collectively, the “Brokers”), and Tenant has not authorized or employed, or acted by implication to authorize or to employ, any other real estate broker
or salesman to act for Tenant in connection with this Second Amendment. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims by any real estate broker or salesman other than the Brokers for a commission,
finder’s fee or other compensation as a result of Tenant’s entering into this Amendment. 

17.        No Offer.    Submission of this instrument for examination
and signature by Tenant does not constitute an offer to amend the Lease or a reservation of or option to amend the Lease, and this instrument is not effective as a lease amendment or otherwise until executed and delivered by both Landlord and
Tenant.
