“Section 17.01.  Option To Extend.

The Minimum Annual Rent for the Extension Term shall be the then prevailing fair market value rental rate based upon leases to tenants of space of comparable size, quality and financial strength in comparable buildings, which rent shall be computed as of the date of such renewal period and shall be determined as if the building is being leased for general office purposes, taking into account Landlord’s costs for tenant improvements, commissions, architectural fees, and other cash and non-cash tenant inducements such as rent abatement.  Tenant shall exercise such option by delivering to Landlord, not later than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Extended Term, written notice of Tenant’s desire to further extend the Extended Term.”

8.           Right of First Refusal.  Section 17.02 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety.

“Section 17.03. Option To Terminate.  Provided that (i) Tenant has not been in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period hereunder at any time during the Extended Term; and (ii) Tenant originally named herein (or its Permitted Transferee) remains in possession of and has been continuously operating in the entire Premises throughout the Extended Term, Tenant shall have a one-time right to terminate the Lease effective as of July 31, 2014 (the “Early Termination Date”).  In order to exercise such termination right, Tenant shall notify Landlord of such exercise in writing at least nine (9) months prior to the Early Termination Date (the “Notice of Early Termination Deadline”), and together with such notice, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all unamortized lease transaction costs, including, without limitation, all Rent abated

 

  

  

  

 

during the Extended Term, plus two (2) month’s Rent at the then current rental rate.  In the event Tenant fails to notify Landlord on or prior to the Notice of Early Termination Deadline, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived Tenant’s termination right for the remainder of the Lease and any extensions thereof.”

10.           HVAC.

	
(a)  

	
The reference in Section 17.08(b) to “$5,000.00” shall be deleted and replaced with “$3,800.00”.

	
(b)  

	
The following provision shall be added at the end of Section 17.08(c) of the Lease:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in subsection (b) immediately above or this subsection (c), in the event that there is a total failure of a HVAC unit, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of such failure and, provided that such total failure is beyond repair, as reasonably determined by Landlord’s HVAC contractor, Landlord shall replace the unit at its sole cost and expense; provided, however, that in the event such replacement is needed as a result of Tenant’s failure to maintain the HVAC System properly or the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees, or in the event that Tenant is in default hereunder, Tenant shall be required to perform the necessary replacement at its sole cost and expense.”

	
(c)  

	
Upon execution of this Third Amendment, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense, promptly repair the HVAC in accordance with the bid, attached hereto as Exhibit C; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord’s total repair costs exceed $5,830.00.

11.           Condition of Premises.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that: (a) Tenant accepts the Premises as suitable for the purposes for which the same are leased; (b) that the extension of the Lease is on an “AS IS” basis and Landlord has made no representations or warranties concerning the Premises or the Building; and (c) to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, Landlord has fully complied with Landlord’s obligations contained in the Lease. LANDLORD AND TENANT EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THERE ARE AND SHALL BE NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MARKETABILITY, HABITABILITY, SUITABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY OTHER KIND ARISING OUT OF THIS THIRD AMENDMENT.

12.           Miscellaneous.

(a)           Except as otherwise expressly modified in this Third Amendment, the Lease and all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements thereof are herein in all respects ratified, confirmed and approved.  Landlord and Tenant hereby affirm, to the best of their knowledge, that on the date hereof no breach or default by the other party has occurred and that the Lease, and all of its terms, conditions, covenants, agreements and provisions, except as hereby modified, are in full force and effect, and Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that there are no known defenses, setoffs, or counterclaims or unused rent concessions with respect to any of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease.

  

  

  

 

(b)           This Third Amendment and the Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their heirs, personal representatives, successors in interest and assigns, including, but not limited to, all of the owners, legal and equitable, of the subject property.

(c)           This Third Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective successors and assigns, and shall be construed under and enforceable in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina.

(d)           This Third Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Photostatic or facsimile reproductions of this Third Amendment to Lease and all other documents to be executed in connection herewith may be made and relied upon to the same extent as originals.

(e)           The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that this Third Amendment contains the entire agreement by and between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(f)            Landlord and Tenant hereby represent and warrant to the other party that this Third Amendment (and each term and provision hereof) has been duly and appropriately authorized by said party, and no additional consent, agreement or approval is required with respect hereto.
