EXHIBIT 4.1

DESCRIPTION OF REDWOOD TRUST, INC. COMMON STOCK

The following description of Redwood Trust, Inc.’s common stock is a summary and does not purport to be complete. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable Maryland law and to the provisions of our Articles of Amendment and Restatement, including any amendments and articles supplementary (our “charter”), and our Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (our “bylaws”), each of which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.1 is a part. We encourage you to read our charter, bylaws and the applicable provisions of Maryland Law for additional information.

Common Stock

General

Our charter authorizes 270,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share.

Voting Rights

Subject to our charter restrictions on transfer of our stock, each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as provided with respect to any other class or series of stock, the holders of our common stock will possess the exclusive voting power. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock can elect all of the directors then standing for election, and the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors.

Dividends

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends if, as, and when authorized by our board of directors and declared by us out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends.

Liquidation

Holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in our assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders in the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, after payment of or adequate provision for all of our known debts and liabilities. These rights are subject to the preferential rights of any other class or series of our stock and to the provisions of our charter regarding restrictions on transfer of our stock.

Rights and Preferences

Holders of our common stock have no preference, conversion, exchange, sinking fund, redemption, or, if listed on a national securities exchange, appraisal rights and have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any of our securities. Subject to our charter restrictions on transfer of our stock, all shares of common stock will have equal dividend, liquidation, and other rights.

Fully Paid and Nonassesable

All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
    
Power to Reclassify Shares of Our Stock; Issuance of Additional Shares

Our charter authorizes our board of directors to classify and reclassify from time to time any unissued shares of our stock into other classes or series of stock, including preferred stock, and to cause the issuance of such shares. Prior to issuance of shares of each class or series, the board of directors is required by Maryland law and by our charter to set, subject to our charter restrictions on transfer of our stock, the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption for each class or series. We believe that the power to issue additional shares of common stock or preferred stock and to classify or reclassify unissued shares of common or preferred stock and thereafter to issue the classified or reclassified shares provides us with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions and in meeting other needs which might arise. These actions can be taken without stockholder approval, unless stockholder approval is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded. Although we have no present intention of doing so, we could issue a class or series 

of stock that could delay, defer, or prevent a transaction or a change in control of Redwood Trust that might involve a premium price for holders of common stock or otherwise be in their best interest. We have no shares of preferred stock presently outstanding.

Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer and Repurchase of Shares

In order that we may meet the requirements for qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at all times, among other purposes, our charter prohibits any person from acquiring or holding beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock or preferred stock, or collectively, capital stock, in excess of 9.8%, in number of shares or value, of the outstanding shares of the related class of capital stock. For this purpose, the term “beneficial ownership” means beneficial ownership, as determined under Rule 13d-3 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), of capital stock by a person, either directly or constructively, including through application of the constructive ownership provisions of Section 544 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and related provisions.
 
Under the constructive ownership rules of Section 544 of the Code, a holder of a warrant generally will be treated as owning the number of shares of capital stock into which such warrant may be converted. In addition, the constructive ownership rules generally attribute ownership of securities owned by a corporation, partnership, estate, or trust proportionately to its stockholders, partners, or beneficiaries, respectively. The rules may also attribute ownership of securities owned by family members to other members of the same family and may treat an option to purchase securities as actual ownership of the underlying securities by the optionholder. The rules further provide when securities constructively owned by a person will be considered to be actually owned for the further application of such attribution provisions. To determine whether a person holds or would hold capital stock in excess of the 9.8% ownership limit, a person will be treated as owning not only shares of capital stock actually owned, but also any shares of capital stock attributed to that person under the attribution rules described above. Accordingly, a person who directly owns less than 9.8% of the shares outstanding may nevertheless be in violation of the 9.8% ownership limit.
 
Any acquisition or transfer of shares of capital stock or warrants that would cause us to be disqualified as a REIT or that would create a direct or constructive ownership of shares of capital stock in excess of the 9.8% ownership limit, or result in the shares of capital stock being beneficially owned, within the meaning of Section 856(a) of the Code, by fewer than 100 persons, determined without any reference to any rules of attribution, or result in our being closely held within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, will be null and void, and the intended transferee will acquire no rights to those shares or warrants. These restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply if our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT.
 
If any purported transfer of shares of capital stock or warrants results in a purported transferee owning, directly or constructively, shares in excess of the 9.8% ownership limit due to the unenforceability of the transfer restrictions described above, the amount of shares causing the purported transferee to violate the 9.8% ownership limit will constitute excess securities. Excess securities will be transferred by operation of law to Redwood Trust as trustee for the exclusive benefit of the person or persons to whom the excess securities are ultimately transferred, until such time as the purported transferee retransfers the excess securities. While the excess securities are held in trust, a holder of such securities will not be entitled to vote or to share in any dividends or other distributions with respect to such securities and will not be entitled to exercise or convert such securities into shares of capital stock. Excess securities may be transferred by the purported transferee to any person (if such transfer would not result in excess securities) at a price not to exceed the price paid by the purported transferee (or, if no consideration was paid by the purported transferee, the Market Price (as defined in our charter) of the excess securities on the date of the purported transfer), at which point the excess securities will automatically be exchanged for the stock or warrants, as the case may be, to which the excess securities are attributable. If a purported transferee receives a higher price for designating an ultimate transferee, such purported transferee shall pay, or cause the ultimate transferee to pay, such excess to us. In addition, such excess securities held in trust are subject to purchase by us at a purchase price equal to the lesser of (a) the price per share or per warrant, as the case may be, in the transaction that created such excess securities (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift), reduced by the amount of any distributions received in violation of the charter that have not been repaid to us, and (b) the Market Price on the date we elect to purchase the excess securities, reduced by the amount of any distributions received in violation of the charter that have not been repaid to us.
 
Upon a purported transfer of excess securities, the purported transferee shall cease to be entitled to distributions, voting rights, and other benefits with respect to the shares of capital stock or warrants except the right to payment of the purchase price for the shares of capital stock or warrants on the retransfer of securities as provided above. Any dividend or distribution paid to a purported transferee on excess securities prior to our discovery that shares of capital stock have been transferred in violation of our charter shall be repaid to us upon demand. If these transfer restrictions are determined to be void, invalid, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the purported transferee of any excess securities may be deemed, at our option, to have acted as an agent on our behalf in acquiring the excess securities and to hold the excess securities on our behalf.

All certificates representing shares of capital stock and warrants will bear a legend referring to the restrictions described above.
 
Any person who acquires shares or warrants in violation of our charter, or any person who is a purported transferee such that excess securities result, must immediately give written notice or, in the event of a proposed or attempted transfer that would be void as set forth above, give at least 15 days prior written notice to us of such event and shall provide us such other information as we may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of the transfer on our status as a REIT. In addition, as required under the REIT provisions of the Code, every record owner of more than 5.0%, during any period in which the number of record stockholders is 2,000, or 1.0%, during any period in which the number of record stockholders is greater than 200 but less than 2,000, or 1/2%, during any period in which the number of record stockholders is 200 or less, of the number or value of our outstanding shares will receive a questionnaire from us by January 30 requesting information as to how the shares are held. In addition, our charter requires that such stockholders must provide written notice to us by 30 days after January 1 stating the name and address of the record stockholder, the number of shares beneficially owned and a description of how the shares are held. In practice, we have generally permitted our stockholders to comply with the foregoing charter requirement by responding to our annual REIT questionnaire. Further, each stockholder upon demand is required to disclose to us in writing such information with respect to the direct and constructive ownership of shares and warrants as our board of directors deems reasonably necessary to comply with the REIT provisions of the Code, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental agency or to determine any such compliance.
 
Our board of directors may increase or decrease the 9.8% ownership limit. In addition, to the extent consistent with the REIT provisions of the Code, our board of directors may, pursuant to our charter, waive the 9.8% ownership limit for a purchaser of our stock. As a condition to such waiver the intended transferee must give written notice to the board of directors of the proposed transfer no later than the fifteenth day prior to any transfer which, if consummated, would result in the intended transferee owning shares in excess of the ownership limit. Our board of directors may also take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect our status as a REIT. Pursuant to our charter, our board of directors has, from time to time, waived the ownership limit for certain of our stockholders.
 
The provisions described above may inhibit market activity and the resulting opportunity for the holders of our capital stock and warrants to receive a premium for their shares or warrants that might otherwise exist in the absence of such provisions. Such provisions also may make us an unsuitable investment vehicle for any person seeking to obtain ownership of more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares of our capital stock.

Transfer Agent, Registrar, and Dividend Disbursing Agent

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is currently Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and its affiliate, Computershare Inc., acts as dividend disbursing agent.

Listing

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “RWT.”

Certain Provisions of the Maryland Law and of Our Charter and Bylaws

Maryland Business Combination Act
 
Under the Maryland Business Combination Act, “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder, as such terms are defined in the Act, are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. The statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by provision in the charter of the corporation. Our charter provides that we elect not to be governed by the provisions of the Maryland Business Combination Act.
 
Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act
 
The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act causes persons who acquire beneficial ownership of stock at levels of 10%, 33%, and more than 50% (control share acquisitions) to lose the voting rights of such stock unless voting rights are restored by the stockholders at a meeting by vote of two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter (excluding stock held by the acquiring stockholder or the corporation’s officers or employee directors). The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act affords 

a cash-out election for stockholders other than the acquiring stockholder, at an appraised value (but not less than the highest price per share paid by the acquiring person in the control share acquisition), payable by the corporation, if voting rights for more than 50% of the outstanding stock are approved for the acquiring person. Under certain circumstances, the corporation may redeem shares acquired in a control share acquisition if voting rights for such shares have not been approved. The statute does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation, or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act acquisitions of our common stock by any person pursuant to a waiver from the ownership limit in our charter granted to such person by our board of directors.
 
The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act could have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us and of increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers.
 
Board of Directors, Vacancies, and Removal of Directors
 
All directors are elected annually to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify.
 
Pursuant to our election to be subject to certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law, any vacancy on our board of directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors in office, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, and any director elected to fill a vacancy shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which such vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies. A director may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast generally for the election of directors.

Charter Amendments and Extraordinary Corporate Actions
 
Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange, convert or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business, unless approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our charter provides for approval of these matters by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of shares entitled to vote on the matter.
 
Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business
 
Our bylaws provide that with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of individuals for election to the board of directors and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be made only (i) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, (ii) by the board of directors or (iii) by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice procedures of our bylaws. With respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in our notice of the meeting may be brought before the meeting.
 
Exclusive Forum 
 
Our bylaws provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any Internal Corporate Claim (as defined in the Maryland General Corporation Law), (b) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (c) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any director or officer or other employee of ours to us or our stockholders, (d) any action asserting a claim against us or any director or officer or other employee of ours arising pursuant to any provision of the Maryland General Corporation Law or our charter or our bylaws, or (e) any other action asserting a claim against us or any director or officer or other employee of ours that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
 
Subtitle 8
 
Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three independent directors to elect to be subject, by provision in its charter or bylaws or a resolution of its board of directors and notwithstanding any contrary provision in the charter or bylaws, to any of:

		
	•
	a classified board of directors;

		
	•
	a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a director;

		
	•
	a requirement that the number of directors be fixed only by vote of the directors;

		
	•
	a requirement that a vacancy on the board of directors be filled only by the remaining directors and for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred; or

		
	•
	a majority requirement for the calling of a special meeting of stockholders.

Pursuant to Subtitle 8, we have elected to provide that vacancies on the board of directors may be filled only by the remaining directors and for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred. Through provisions in our charter and bylaws unrelated to Subtitle 8, we already (a) vest in the board of directors the exclusive power to fix the number of directorships and (b) require, unless called by our chairman of the board, our president, the board of directors or a majority of independent directors, the request of holders of a majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting to call a special meeting of stockholders.

Meetings of Stockholders 
 
Under our current bylaws and pursuant to Maryland law, annual meetings of stockholders will be held each year at a date and at the time in the month of May determined by our board of directors. Special meetings of stockholders may be called by our board of directors, the chairman of the board of directors, our president or a majority of independent directors. Additionally, subject to the provisions of our bylaws, special meetings of the stockholders to act on any matter must be called by our secretary upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting who have requested the special meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in, and provided the information and certifications required by, our bylaws. Only matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered and acted upon at such a meeting. Our secretary will inform the requesting stockholders of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and delivering the notice of meeting (including our proxy materials), and the requesting stockholder or stockholders must pay such estimated cost before our secretary may prepare and deliver the notice of the special meeting.Exhibit

3.Option to Renew.
(a)Provided that (i) Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods and (ii) the Original Tenant (as defined below) continues to be in possession of the New Premises, both requirements being met as of the date of exercise of the Renewal Option and as of the Renewal Term Commencement Date (both as defined below), then Landlord and Tenant agree that during the Extension Term, Tenant shall have one (1) option to renew the Lease (the “Renewal Option”) for the entire Premises for a period of five (5) years (the “Renewal Term”), commencing on the first day following the expiration of the Extension Term (the “Renewal Term Commencement Date”).  The Renewal Option is exercisable only by Tenant giving written notice thereof (“Renewal Notice”) to Landlord of its exercise of the Renewal Option at least nine (9) months, but not more than twelve (12) months, prior to the expiration of the Extension Term.  If Tenant gives timely notice exercising the Renewal Option, the Term shall (subject to cancellation by Landlord for an Event of Default by Tenant as provided in the first sentence of this Section or Tenant’s withdrawal of Tenant’s notice exercising the Renewal Option as permitted by Section 3(b) below) automatically be extended by the Renewal Term.  If Tenant does not timely give notice of its exercise of the Renewal Option, the Renewal Option shall expire and Tenant shall have no further right to extend or renew the Term.  During the Renewal Term, this Lease and Tenant’s use and occupancy of the New Premises shall be on the terms provided in this Lease, except as follows:
(i)The annual amount of Base Rent shall be the fair market annual Base Rent for space similar to the New Premises in comparable office buildings in southeast suburban Denver, determined as provided by Section 3(b) and Section 3(c) below. 
(ii)Tenant shall have no further Renewal Options or extensions options after the exercise of the Renewal Option.

(iii)The Premises shall be the Premises as of the last day before the Renewal Term commences, and Landlord shall have no obligation to make or pay for any improvements in the Premises on account of Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option.
(iv)Notwithstanding the fact that, upon Tenant’s exercise of the herein option to renew, the renewal of the Term shall be self-executing, as aforesaid, the parties shall, within 15 days after Tenant’s exercise thereof, enter into an amendment of the Lease confirming the Renewal Term and Base Rent.
(b)Within fifteen (15) days of receiving Tenant’s notice of exercise of the Renewal Option, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the fair market Base Rent for the Renewal Term (“Landlord’s Rent Notice”) as determined by Landlord in good faith and upon comparable lease transactions.  Landlord’s determination of the fair market Base Rent shall be reasonable and shall be based on the Market Rent (as defined below).  Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s Rent Notice to (i) withdraw Tenant’s notice exercising the Renewal Option, and if Tenant gives such a notice the Renewal Option shall terminate, there shall be no Renewal Term, and Tenant shall have no further right to extend or renew the Term, or (ii) notify Landlord that Tenant disputes Landlord’s determination of the Market Rent as set forth in Landlord’s Rent Notice (“Dispute Notice”).  If Tenant does not timely withdraw its notice exercising the Renewal Option or if Tenant does not timely provide the Dispute Notice, Tenant shall have no further right to cancel or withdraw its exercise of the Renewal Option and the Base Rent for the Renewal Term shall be the amount or amounts set forth in Landlord’s Rent Notice.
(c)“Market Rent” means the annual amount per square foot that a willing tenant would pay and a willing landlord would accept in arm’s length bona fide negotiations, for a renewal lease of premises of like quality on the same terms and conditions in a building of like quality and location for the specified period of time. Such determination shall take into account all relevant factors, including, without limitation, the following matters: the credit standing of Tenant; the length of the term; expense stops; construction allowances and other tenant concessions that would be available to tenants comparable to Tenant (such as moving expense allowance, free rent periods and free parking, if any, but specifically excluding the value of improvements installed in the Premises at Tenant’s cost), and whether adjustments are then being made in determining the rental rates for renewals because of concessions being offered by Landlord to Tenant (or the lack thereof for the Renewal Term). If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Dispute Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly negotiate in good faith to determine a mutually acceptable Market Rent and shall exchange written proposals and comparables supporting such proposals. If the parties mutually agree upon a new rate for Market Rent, such agreed rate shall be the rental rate for Base Rent applicable during the Renewal Term. If the parties have not agreed within 60 days after the giving of Tenant’s Dispute Notice, then within ten (10) days following the end of such 60-day period each party shall designate by written notice to the other party one qualified commercial real estate broker of good reputation, having at least five (5) years’ experience in the real estate market in the southeast Denver office submarket (“Appraiser(s)”). The two Appraisers so designated shall together determine whether Landlord’s determination of the Market Rent or Tenant’s determination of the Market Rent is closest to the Market Rent for the space in question. Landlord and Tenant shall each require the Appraisers to make such determination and report it in writing to Landlord and Tenant within twenty (20) days after such selection, and each party shall use its best efforts to secure such determination within such time period. If the two selected Appraisers agree as to which rate is closest, the rate agreed to shall be deemed the effective rental rate. If the two selected Appraisers fail to agree pursuant to this procedure, they shall together immediately select a third Appraiser who shall then (within ten (10) days of the Appraisers’ selection) determine which rate is closest to the Market Rent as determined by the third Appraiser. The third Appraiser shall notify Landlord and Tenant of its determination and the rental rate selected shall be the effective rental rate. Each party will pay the fee of the Appraiser selected by it and one-half of the fee of the third Appraiser.
(d)The Renewal Option shall be personal to REDWOOD TRUST, INC., a Maryland corporation (together with any Permitted Transferee who has assumed the Lease (as defined in Section 14.2 

of the Lease), collectively, “Original Tenant”), and may only be exercised by Original Tenant (and not any assignee, sublessee or other transferee of Original Tenant’s interest in the Lease). All references to “Tenant” in this Section 3 shall mean Original Tenant only. In the event of any assignment of the Lease or sublease of all or any portion of the New Premises to any party other than Original Tenant, the Renewal Option shall be extinguished. 
(e)Any renewal or extension option(s) provided in the Original Lease are hereby deleted and replaced with this Section 3.
4.Signage.  
(a)Directory and Suite Signage. Landlord shall provide Tenant, at Landlord’s expense, with directory and suite signage consistent with the signage for the Original Premises.    
(b)Initial Monument Sign. Tenant shall have the right to continue to maintain, repair and replace its sign panel on the existing monument sign for the Building (the “Initial Monument Sign”).  
(c)New Monument Sign. Tenant may, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, install one panel on the new monument sign in the location depicted on Exhibit B (the “New Monument Sign”), subject to all applicable laws, governmental approvals, and Landlord’s approval of the size, design, and layout of such signage which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any costs associated with bringing the New Monument Sign up to current Inverness Planning and Architectural Control Committee (“IPACC”) standards shall be split 50/50 between Landlord and Tenant. During the Extension Term, Tenant shall have exclusive use of the New Monument Sign and Landlord shall not permit any other party to install any signage on the New Monument Sign.  
(d)Exterior Signage.
(i)If Landlord intends to or offers signage on the exterior of the Building or if Landlord is approached by another tenant who has approached IPACC for a variance in building signage requirements applicable to the Building (the “Signage Opportunity”), Landlord shall first give Tenant written notice specifying the terms and conditions applicable to the Signage Opportunity (the “Signage Notice”).  Within twenty (20) business days of Tenant’s receipt of the Signage Notice, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s acceptance or rejection of the Signage Opportunity.  If Tenant foregoes the Signage Opportunity or does not give Tenant’s response within such twenty (20) business day period, Landlord shall have the right to permit another tenant to install signage on the exterior of the Building on the terms set forth in the Landlord’s Signage Notice within one hundred twenty (120) day after Tenant elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to exercise its right to the Signage Opportunity; provided, however, that Tenant’s right to the Signage Opportunity shall be restored in the event (i) Landlord changes in any material respect the terms of the Signage Notice for the Signage Opportunity, or (ii) Landlord does not enter into an agreement with the other tenant to install signage on the exterior of the Building on the terms set forth in the Landlord’s Signage Notice within one hundred twenty (120) days after Tenant elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to exercise its right to the Signage Opportunity, in which case Landlord shall reoffer the Signage Opportunity to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Section 5, or (iii) there is any material change to the IPACC standards which permits Tenant signage to be installed on the exterior of the Building without a variance or permits more than one exterior sign to be installed on the Building.  If Tenant timely accepts the Signage Opportunity, Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for approaching IPACC if a variance of IPACC rules would be required for Tenant to install its signage and ultimately for installing such exterior Building signage, subject to all applicable laws, governmental approvals, and Landlord’s approval of the size, location, design, and layout of such signage. Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant, including, executing applications and other reasonable documentation, in connection with Tenant’s efforts to obtain any required permits, approvals and variances to permit Tenant’s exterior signage on the Building. 
(ii)If Tenant installs its signage on the exterior of the Building, then Landlord shall not grant to any tenant or other person or entity the right to place signage on or in, or to otherwise identify itself on or in, the exterior of the Building in a manner that is more prominent than Tenant.

5.Parking.  Effective upon the Extension Commencement Date, Tenant shall be allocated a total of 130 parking spaces, with twelve (12) of such parking spaces being Covered Parking Spaces and the balance shall be one hundred eighteen (118) Surface Parking Spaces (the “Parking Allotment”).  Covered Parking Spaces shall be charged a monthly fee at Landlord’s standard parking rates, which, as of the Extension Commencement Date, are $125.00 for each reserved Covered Parking Space per space per month and $100.00 per space per month for each unreserved Covered Parking Space, and Tenant’s parking rights shall continue to be subject to the other terms, conditions, and adjustments provided in the Original Lease.  Additionally, subject to availability as determined in Landlord’s sole discretion, Tenant shall have the option to lease up to an additional three (3) Covered Parking Spaces on a month-to-month basis, which spaces shall be a part of the Parking Allotment.  Parking charges will be abated from February 1, 2021, through January 31, 2022 (the “Parking Abatement Period”) (subject to adjustment as provided for in Section 2(e) above in the event that the Extension Commencement Date occurs after February 1, 2021), except that, if an Event of Default (beyond any applicable notice and cure period(s)) occurs or is continuing during the Parking Abatement Period, then no parking charges shall be abated during the pendency of such default; provided, that if Tenant cures such default prior to the termination of this Lease, then upon the cure of such default, the parking charges due hereunder shall again be abated in an amount equal to the previously unapplied portion of the Parking Abatement Amount that Tenant would have received but for such default.
6.Tenant Improvements.
(a)Premises.  On the Delivery Date (as hereinafter defined), Landlord is providing the New Premises to Tenant in its present condition, “as is” subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment.  
(b)Early Access. From and after the Effective Date, Landlord shall provide Tenant with access to the New Premises as may be required by Tenant to prepare plans and to perform any inspections; provided, however that Tenant acknowledges that entry to the Intermap Give Back Space (as hereinafter defined) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the existing lease between Intermap Technologies and Landlord (the “Intermap Lease”).
(c)Drawings. Tenant shall provide Landlord with construction drawings (the “Drawings”) for the improvements to be installed in the New Premises by Tenant (the “Initial Improvements” or the “Work”) prepared by Tenant’s architect. The Drawings shall be subject to Landlord’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, as hereinafter described). Landlord shall give its approval or disapproval (giving reasonable detailed reasons in case of disapproval) of the Drawings within ten (10) business days after their delivery to Landlord. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant that it approves or disapproves the Drawings within ten (10) business days after receipt by Landlord of such Drawings, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Drawings. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant by discussing or reviewing the Drawings at Tenant’s request prior to completion of the full, final detailed Drawings in order to expedite the preparation of and the subsequent approval process concerning the Drawings.  
(d)No portion of the Work shall be undertaken or commenced by Tenant in the New Premises until all necessary building permits have been applied for and obtained by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that: (a) the applicable governmental agencies are not required to issue approvals, permits or a certificate of occupancy within any specified period of time; (b) the applicable governmental agencies may impose additional requirements as a condition of issuing approvals, permits or a certificate of occupancy which could cause delays; and (c) that the Landlord is not responsible for the length of the period of time taken by applicable governmental agencies, or any delays caused by additional requirements of the applicable governmental agencies, in obtaining such approvals, permits or certificate of occupancy.  
(e)Landlord’s Allowance.  The Initial Improvements (as well as installation of Tenant’s own trade fixtures, equipment and furniture) are to be constructed at Tenant’s expense.  Landlord has agreed to provide Tenant with an improvement allowance of up to $1,761,200.00 (the “Landlord’s Allowance”), to be applied toward the cost of the Initial Improvements.  Up to $125,800.00 of the Landlord’s Allowance may be used by Tenant for moving, cabling costs, and furniture costs related to the New Premises.  Tenant may submit requests for disbursements of the Landlord’s Allowance not more than monthly.  To draw on the 

Landlord’s Allowance, Tenant must submit to Landlord a written notice requesting disbursement, together with (i) invoices for all costs included in the request for disbursement, (ii) proof that such costs have been paid, including appropriate lien waivers in a form acceptable to Landlord, and (iii) such other documentation as Landlord may reasonably request.  Landlord shall make disbursements for the requested portion of the Landlord’s Allowance within sixty (60) days following Landlord’s receipt of a proper request for disbursement and Landlord may make such disbursements to Tenant or pay directly to Tenant’s contractors, as agreed to by Landlord and Tenant.  Tenant will be responsible for paying the excess of the cost of the Initial Improvements over the Landlord’s Allowance.  In the event the actual cost of the Initial Improvements is less than the Landlord’s Allowance, Tenant shall not be entitled to any additional Initial Improvements or a rebate or credit against Rent, and the unused portion of the Landlord’s Allowance shall remain the property of Landlord except for up to up to $125,800.00.  If the Initial Improvements to be constructed with the Landlord’s Allowance have not commenced as of twelve (12) months from the Extension Commencement Date, Landlord’s obligation to provide sums to construct the Initial Improvements shall terminate, and the Landlord’s Allowance shall expire.  No disbursement of any part of the Landlord’s Allowance by Landlord will constitute acceptance of any condition of the Initial Improvements, an approval of any action taken or omission of Tenant or its contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers, or waive any other rights or claims that Landlord might have at law or in equity.  In the event that Landlord does not make disbursement of the Landlord’s Allowance within sixty (60) days following Landlord’s receipt of a proper request for disbursement, Tenant shall provide a second, written notice to Landlord requesting payment within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s receipt of such notice.  If Landlord fails to make payment following such ten (10) business day period, Tenant may offset the requested disbursement amount against Rent.
(i)Communications Cabling and Equipment.  Tenant alone shall be responsible for and pay all the costs of installing any cabling and other communications equipment which Tenant needs for its occupancy of the New Premises, except that Tenant may apply up to $125,800.00 of the Landlord’s Allowance towards moving, cabling costs, and furniture costs for the New Premises.  Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with one another to schedule Tenant’s work in installing such cabling and other equipment so that such installation does not interfere with Landlord’s work on the Initial Improvements.
(f)Contractors.  All construction will be done through the Tenant’s contractors.  All contractors to be used by Tenant shall be approved by Landlord in advance which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall give its approval or disapproval (giving reasonable detailed reasons in case of disapproval) of the proposed contractors within three (3) business days after Tenant’s request to Landlord. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant that it approves or disapproves the proposed contractors within three (3) business days after receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s request, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the proposed contractors.  Tenant shall require all contractors performing work in the New Premises to carry and maintain, at no expense to Landlord, any or all of the following insurance policies as determined by Landlord written by insurance companies acceptable to Landlord: (a) commercial general liability insurance, which shall name Tenant and Landlord as an additional insureds, in such amounts and with such endorsements that Landlord requires; (b) worker’s compensation insurance in such amounts as required by law and covering all persons engaged in the work; (c) insurance against such other perils or legal risks and in such amounts as Landlord may require.  Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with duplicate original counterparts of any of the insurance policies required by this paragraph.  
(g)Permits.  Tenant’s contractor will file applications and other necessary documentation for the issuance of all required governmental permits for the construction of the Initial Improvements (collectively, the “Permits”) not later than May 1, 2020, and will also obtain final inspection approval, if applicable, or any other final governmental approval of the Initial Improvements that may be required by applicable codes and regulations for the New Premises, upon Substantial Completion of the Initial Improvements. Tenant will use commercially reasonable effort to obtain the Permits not later than the Delivery Date.

(h)Construction Supervision.  All contractors rendering any service to Tenant must contact Landlord or Landlord’s contractor in advance and obtain permission to provide materials or work to the New Premises, and are subject to Landlord’s supervision, approval and control of performance, including installation of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment and furniture in accordance with the terms of this Lease.  This provision applies to all work performed in or around the Building, including without limitation installation of telecommunications equipment and installations of any nature affecting doors, walls, lighting, electrical connections, the HVAC system, ductwork, woodwork, trim, windows, ceilings, equipment or other physical portions of the Building.
(i)Tenant may perform the Work at such time as Tenant deems appropriate, both during Ordinary Business Hours and at other times except that any Excessive Noise Work (as defined below) may only be performed during hours other than Ordinary Business Hours if such Excessive Noise Work during Ordinary Business Hours would unreasonably interfere or disturb other tenants or occupants use or occupancy of their respective premises in the Building. “Excessive Noise Work” shall mean any Work creating excessive noise or vibration, including the portions of any Work involving: (i) demolition; (ii) cutting, trenching, chopping, drilling or perforating of floor slabs; or (iii) shooting fasteners into slab, floor or over-head. Any Excessive Noise Work shall be restricted to hours approved by Landlord and all such movement shall be under supervision of Landlord by prearrangement before performance.  Tenant assumes all risk of damage of said articles being moved through the Building and any injury to persons or public engaged or not engaged in such moving.  Any handtrucks, carryalls or similar appliances used for delivery or receipt of merchandise or equipment shall be equipped with rubber tires, sideguards and other safeguards as Landlord shall reasonably require.
(ii)Tenant and its contractors must not make nor permit to be made any unseemly or disturbing noises that unreasonably interfere with occupants of the Building, the New Premises or those having business with other tenants whether by the noise from equipment and installations, use of any musical instrument or loud talk.
(iii)If Tenant or Tenant’s contractors are performing any of the Initial Improvements, Tenant will indemnify Landlord from and against any materialman and mechanics’ liens in accordance with Section 13 of the Original Lease and shall otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 13 of the Original Lease with respect to any construction liens. 
(iv)Tenant and its contractors must observe all rules and regulations of Landlord which are attached hereto as Exhibit D.
(v)Tenant shall use only new, first-class materials in the Work, except where explicitly shown in the Space Plan.  All of the Work shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner.  Tenant shall obtain contractors’ warranties of at least six (6) months duration from the completion of the Work against defects in workmanship and materials on all work performed and equipment installed in the New Premises as part of the Work.
(vi)Upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours’ written notice (or by email to (i) Tenant’s Project Manager (jon.micheel@cbre.com), (ii) Tenant’s general contractor (email address to be provided), and (iii) Tenant (notices@redwoodtrust.com)) to Tenant and Tenant’s failure to cure such matter within such 24-hour period, Landlord shall have the right to order Tenant or any of Tenant’s contractors who violate the requirements imposed on Tenant or Tenant’s contractors in performing work to cease work and remove its equipment and employees from the Building (a “Cease Order”) to the extent Landlord determines in good faith that such violation is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Building systems, structure or operations, the safety of the Building’s occupants, or to otherwise create any other type of hazardous condition, which Cease Order shall remain effective until such time as the violation which is the subject thereof has been cured.  No such action by Landlord shall delay the commencement of the Lease or the obligation to pay Rent or any other obligations herein set forth.
(vii)Tenant shall permit access to the New Premises, and the Work shall be subject to inspection, by Landlord and Landlord’s architects, engineers, contractors and other representatives, at all 

reasonable times during the period in which the Work is being constructed and installed and following completion of the Work, provided Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s business operations in the New Premises and the Work then being performed.
(i)Intermap Give Back Space; Delivery of New Premises; Tenant Finish Period.  
(i)A portion of the New Premises is currently leased to Intermap Technologies as shown on Exhibit A (the “Intermap Give Back Space”).  Landlord represents and warrants that the Intermap Lease expires on June 30, 2020 (the “Intermap Lease Expiration Date”).  Landlord shall use good faith, diligent efforts to negotiate an early termination agreement with Intermap Technologies terminating the Intermap Lease. In the event that Landlord executes such early termination agreement with Intermap Technologies, Landlord shall send written notice to Tenant specifying the date on which the Intermap Lease will terminate and the date on which the Landlord will deliver exclusive possession of the New Premises to Tenant (the “Delivery Notice”) which anticipated delivery date shall be the later of (i) 60 days following receipt of the Delivery Notice by Tenant, and (ii) April 1, 2020 (the later of such dates shall be referred to as the “Anticipated Delivery Date”). In the event that Landlord does not deliver the Delivery Notice to Tenant by May 1, 2020, the Anticipated Delivery Date shall be July 1, 2020.
(ii)The actual date on which Landlord shall deliver exclusive possession of the New Premises (including the Intermap Give Back Space) to Tenant vacant, free of all occupancies and in “broom clean” condition and otherwise in the condition required by this Lease shall be referred to as the “Delivery Date”. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Delivery Date does not occur on or before July 1, 2020 (but no earlier than the Anticipated Delivery Date), then (i) the Scheduled Commencement Date shall be extended by one (1) day for each day after July 1, 2020 until the Delivery Date occurs, and (ii) Base Rent and Additional Rent shall abate for one (1) day for each day after July 1, 2020 until the Delivery Date occurs which abatement shall be applied after the Abatement Period. Such postponement of the Scheduled Commencement Date (and therefore the postponement of the commencement of the Extension Term) and rent abatement will be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for Landlord’s failure to deliver the New Premises by July 1, 2020, and Tenant expressly waives any other rights, claims or remedies on account of such failure.  
(iii)The period for Tenant to perform the Work (the “Tenant Finish Period”) will begin on the Delivery Date and Tenant will use its commercially reasonable efforts to commence the Work on the Delivery Date and to complete the Work by the Scheduled Commencement Date. Tenant agrees that it shall commence the Work within thirty (30) days after the later of the following to occur: (i) Tenant receives the Permits provided that Tenant must file its permit application in accordance with Section 6(g) above and (ii) the Delivery Date. In the event Tenant, for any reason, fails to complete the Work on or before the Scheduled Commencement Date, Tenant shall be responsible for Rent and all other obligations set forth in the Lease from the Scheduled Commencement Date regardless of the degree of completion of the Work on such date, and no such delay in completion of the Work shall relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under the Lease except as hereinafter provided, subject to any Landlord Delay (as hereinafter defined). The Scheduled Commencement Date shall be extended by the number of days of delay of the completion of the Work to the extent caused by a "Landlord Delay".  As used herein, the term "Landlord Delay" shall mean actual delays to the extent resulting from the acts or omissions of Landlord including, but not limited to (i) failure of Landlord to timely approve or disapprove any construction drawings, plans and applications which require Landlord’s approval or signature; (ii) unreasonable and material interference by Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors with the Substantial Completion of the Work; or (iii) failure to cure a Landlord Violation (as hereinafter defined).
(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, prior to the Delivery Date, Tenant may elect to commence the Work in the New Premises (excluding the Intermap Give Back Space) at any time after Tenant has secured the Permits. In the event that Tenant elects to commence the Work in the New Premises (excluding the Intermap Give Back Space) prior to the Delivery Date, Tenant shall provide written notice of such election to Landlord and Landlord shall provide Tenant with access to 

the New Premises (excluding the Intermap Give Back Space) to allow Tenant to perform the Work in the New Premises (excluding the Intermap Give Back Space).
(j)Charges and Fees.  Tenant shall pay Landlord a construction management fee in an amount equal to $10,000.00 to defray Landlord’s administrative and overhead expenses incurred to review the Space Plan and coordinate with Tenant’s onsite project manager the staging and progress of the Work. Except as provided herein, there shall be no other construction management fee or supervisory fee imposed by Landlord in connection with the Work. 
(k)Miscellaneous.  Approval by Landlord’s architects or engineers does not constitute approval by Landlord.  Any approval by Landlord or Landlord’s architects or engineers of any of Tenant’s drawing, plans or specifications which are prepared in connection with construction of improvements in the New Premises shall not in any way constitute a representation or warranty of Landlord as to the adequacy of sufficiency of the drawings, plans or specifications.  Failure by Tenant to pay any amount when due under this Section 6 or the failure by Tenant to perform any of its other obligations under this Section 6 shall be an Event of Default under the Lease (subject to the same notice and cure provisions as provided in the Lease), entitling Landlord to all of its remedies under the Lease following any uncured Event of Default.  As used in this Section 6, “including” means “including without limitation.”
(l)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Lease, if any noted violation of any applicable law, ordinance or governmental regulation (including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq.) and regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder) which is not caused by Tenant’s acts or omissions (or the acts or omissions of Tenant’s agents, contractors, and/or employees) (herein called a “Landlord’s Violation”) shall actually delay (or prevent) Tenant from obtaining any governmental permits, consents, approvals or other documentation required by Tenant for the performance of any Work or to occupy the New Premises, then, upon the giving of notice by Tenant to Landlord of such prevention or delay and of the applicable Landlord’s Violations, Landlord shall promptly commence and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion the cure and removal of record of such Landlord’s Violations. In the event that Tenant is prevented or delayed from obtaining any permits, consents, approvals or other documentation required by Tenant for the performance of any Work or to occupy the New Premises as a result of a Landlord’s Violation, then Base Rent and additional Rent shall abate for one (1) day for each day of such delay until Landlord cures such Landlord’s Violation.
7.Condition of the New Premises.   On the Delivery Date, Landlord agrees to deliver the New Premises to Tenant vacant, free of all occupancies (except as provided below with respect to the Intermap Give Back Space) and in “broom clean” condition and otherwise in the condition required by this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the New Premises, or with respect to the suitability of any part of the same for the conduct of Tenant’s business.  Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted the New Premises “as is” in the condition existing on the Extension Commencement Date subject to latent defect and Landlord’s obligation to deliver the New Premises in the condition required hereunder.  Landlord shall not have any obligation to install any improvements or alterations in, to, or on the New Premises, except as may be required to cure any Landlord’s Violations. 
8.Intentionally omitted. 
9.Landlord’s Offer of Space.  
(a)Subject to all the provisions of Section 9 below, if during the Extension Term Landlord intends to offer space on the fourth (4th) floor of the Building (the “Fourth Floor Space”) to third parties to lease, Landlord shall first give Tenant written notice specifying the space that Landlord intends to offer for lease (the “Offer Space”) and the material terms on which Landlord intends to offer such space for lease (“Landlord’s Offer Notice”).  Within seven (7) business days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Offer Notice, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice whether Tenant accepts the terms set forth in Landlord’s Offer Notice (“Tenant’s Response”).  If (i) Tenant does not give Tenant’s Response within such seven (7) business day period, (ii) Tenant’s Response does not accept the Offer Space on all the terms set forth in Landlord’s 

Offer Notice, or (iii) Landlord determines that Tenant’s response is ambiguous and Tenant fails to clarify any ambiguity by the end of the second (2nd) business day after Landlord gives notice to Tenant requesting such clarification, then Tenant shall have no further rights with respect to such Offer Space and Landlord shall have no further obligation at any time to offer to lease any Fourth Floor Space to Tenant.  If Tenant timely gives Tenant’s Response and Tenant’s Response accepts the terms set forth in Landlord’s Offer Notice, Tenant and Landlord shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease that provides for the addition of the Offer Space to the Premises on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice and Landlord shall have no further obligation to offer to lease any other Fourth Floor Space to Tenant.
(b)Tenant’s right to receive Landlord’s Offer Notice under this Section 9 is a one-time right only.  If Landlord once gives Tenant Landlord’s Offer Notice with respect to any Offer Space, Landlord shall have no further or subsequent obligation to give Landlord’s Offer Notice as to the same Offer Space.
(c)Landlord shall have no obligation to offer any space to Tenant or to enter into an amendment to this Lease to expand the area of the Premises if an Event of Default has occurred and is then uncured. 
(d)Landlord shall have no obligation to offer to Tenant Fourth Floor Space that is being offered to the market for lease as of the execution of this Lease unless such space is first leased to another tenant and then subsequently becomes available for lease to third parties.
(e)Landlord shall have no obligation to offer to Tenant space in the Building (i) other than the Fourth Floor Space, or (ii) which is smaller than what Landlord is then willing to offer to third parties for lease.
(f)Tenant’s rights under this Section 9 shall be subject to any and all rights of other tenants under instruments executed before this Amendment.
(a)Tenant’s rights under this Section 9 shall not apply during any Renewal Term. 
(b)Tenant’s rights under this Section 9 may not be exercised by any Transferee and shall immediately terminate in the event of any assignment of the Lease or sublease of more than fifty percent (50%) of the rentable area of the Premises by Tenant.
10.Brokers.  Tenant and Landlord each represents that it did not deal with any broker or finder in connection with this Amendment other than John Marold of CBRE, Inc. (“Landlord’s Broker”), and Frederic de Loizaga of CBRE, Inc. (“Tenant’s Broker”).  Landlord shall indemnify Tenant against any liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense) for any brokerage commission or finder’s fee claimed by anyone based on any express or implied commitment made by Landlord or its agents or representatives in connection with this Amendment, including any commission owed to Landlord’s Broker and Tenant’s Broker pursuant to a separate agreement, but excluding any claim for compensation by Tenant’s Broker in excess of the commission, if any, that Landlord has agreed to pay Tenant’s Broker.  Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) for any brokerage commission or finder’s fee claimed by anyone other than Landlord’s Broker based on any express or implied commitment made by Tenant or its agents or representatives, including any commission or fee claimed by Tenant’s Broker in excess of the commission, if any, that Landlord has agreed to pay Tenant’s Broker.  The parties’ liability under this Section 10 shall survive any expiration or termination of the Lease.
11.Effect.  Except as amended by this Amendment, all of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions, and agreements of the Lease remain in full force and effect.  The provisions of this Amendment supersede and control over any conflicting provisions in the Lease.
12.Estoppel.  Tenant hereby acknowledges and confirms that, as of the date hereof and to Tenant’s knowledge, Landlord has performed all obligations on the part of the Landlord under the Lease and that Tenant has no claims against Landlord or claims of offset against any rent or other sums payable by Tenant under the Lease.

13.Interpretation.  As used in this Amendment, the word “including” is not exclusive and means “including, without limitation” unless used with specific terms of exclusion. The word “party” means one of Landlord or Tenant, and “parties” means both, unless the context specifically indicates that reference to a third party is intended. References to sections or exhibits mean the sections of this Amendment and exhibits attached to this Amendment, unless the reference specifies another document.
14.Notices.  Landlord’s Notice Address, as set forth in Section 1.10 of the Original Lease, is hereby amended to be as follows:

15.Miscellaneous. The parties have read this Amendment and have received the advice of legal counsel with respect to this Amendment or have had the opportunity to receive legal advice, and they have freely and voluntarily entered into this Amendment. This Amendment embodies the entire agreement between the parties as to its subject matter and supersedes any prior agreements with respect thereto. There are no agreements or understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Amendment not set forth in this Amendment or the Lease. This Amendment cannot be modified except by a writing signed by both parties. 
16.Signing and Delivery.  This Amendment will be effective only when both Landlord and Tenant have signed and delivered it. This Amendment may be signed in counterparts and, when counterparts 

of this Amendment have been signed and delivered by both of the parties as provided in this Section 14, this Amendment will be fully binding and effective, just as if both of the parties had signed and delivered a single counterpart of this Amendment. This Amendment is not an offer to lease and cannot be accepted by performance or otherwise rendered effective in any manner other than in accordance with this Section 16.  Landlord’s submission of an unsigned copy this Amendment to Tenant for evaluation, negotiation, or signature by Tenant will not constitute signature of this Amendment by Landlord or otherwise bind Landlord, regardless of whether the cover letter or email transmitting that copy of this Amendment is signed or contains words of approval.
