of the Building at 15725 SW Greystone Court in Beaverton, Oregon.  The defined, capitalized terms used in the Lease Agreement shall have the same meanings when used herein.

 

B.           Landlord and Tenant desire to add to the Premises certain additional space located on the 2nd floor of the Building, depicted on Exhibit “A” hereto (the “Additional Space”).  The
Additional Space is agreed to contain 7,082 rentable square feet.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, it is agreed as follows.

 

1. Lease of Additional Space.  Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Additional Space.  The Additional Space is hereby made
a part of the Premises under the Lease Agreement for all purposes.  The leasing of Additional Space is upon all of the terms and conditions of the Lease Agreement, except as provided herein.  Commencing upon delivery of possession of the Additional Space, the Premises shall be deemed to be a total of 19,066 rentable square feet.

 

2. Lease Provisions Regarding Additional Space.

 

2.1 Delivery of Additional Space.  Possession of the Additional Space shall be delivered to Tenant, and Tenant agrees to accept the same, on the date certified by Landlord
as being when the same is “Ready For Occupancy” (as defined in the Work Letter which is attached hereto as Exhibit “B”).  The parties anticipate delivery of possession of the Additional Space on or about August 1, 2008.  Landlord shall have no liability if the Additional Space is not delivered by such date.

3. Expansion Right of First Refusal.

 

3.1 Former Right.  Section 2.07 of the Lease Agreement is hereby deleted.

 

3.2 New Right.

 

(a) The "Expansion Space" is the space located on the 2nd Floor shown on Exhibit “C”.  At any time during the initial Term of this Lease that Landlord
receives or is prepared to issue a letter of intent to lease the Expansion Space or any portion of it to a third party prospective lessee, other than a lessee who would be renewing or extending its occupancy of such space (whether or not pursuant to a contractual right to do so), Landlord shall communicate to Tenant, in writing, the financial consideration and other financial terms of such letter of intent.  Landlord's communication shall constitute an offer to Tenant to lease the Expansion Space or
applicable portion thereof on the terms set forth in such communication and otherwise on the terms set forth in Lease.  Tenant specifically acknowledges that a third party may be willing to lease the Expansion Space for a term which is longer than the unexpired balance of the initial term of this Lease, or as part of a larger space.  Therefore, Landlord may offer the Expansion Space or the applicable portion thereof to Tenant on terms which require Tenant (i) to extend the balance of the Term
of this Lease (at a rent acceptable to Landlord) to coincide with the length of the term being considered with respect to the third party, (ii) to lease the entirety of the larger space, and/or (iii) to agree to other conditions designed to protect Landlord's interest.

 

(b) Tenant shall have until 5:00 p.m. on the tenth (10th) day following receipt of Landlord's communication to execute an amendment hereto with Landlord for
the space offered by Landlord's communication, on the terms set forth in this Lease and in Landlord's communication.  Should Tenant fail to execute such a lease or amendment, or otherwise indicate rejection of such communication, Landlord may negotiate with the intended third party and execute a lease with such third party on any terms negotiated, whether similar or dissimilar to those originally communicated to Tenant, so long as Landlord's communication to Tenant was made in good faith; provided,
if the Base Rent or improvement allowance, if any, offered to the third party is changed in favor of the third party by more than ten percent (10%), then a new offer must be made to Tenant pursuant to this provision.  If a lease with the third party is signed, this shall terminate Tenant's rights hereunder as to the Expansion Space.  If a lease with the third party is not signed, the Expansion Space shall again be subject to this right of First Refusal.

 

(c) As a condition to Landlord executing an amendment with Tenant under this Section, Landlord shall have the right to review then current financial statements of Tenant.  If Landlord is not satisfied, in its discretion, with
the financial condition of Tenant, as demonstrated by such financial statements, then Landlord may to proceed to negotiate with the third party on the same terms as if Tenant had rejected Landlord's communication.

 

(d) The rights of Lessee under this Section shall be suspended during any event of Default and shall terminate upon any termination of this Lease or of Lessee's right of possession hereunder; provided, however, in the event Lessee shall
have exercised an expansion right pursuant to this Section and Lessor subsequently terminates this Lease or Lessee's right of possession hereunder for Default, the damages to which Lessor shall be entitled shall include damages with respect to the leasing of the expansion space.  The rights of Tenant under this Section 3.2 are subject to and subordinate to any existing rights of other lessees regarding the Expansion Space.  Landlord has not promised that any Expansion Space will be or become
available, nor be available by any particular date.

 

(e) At such time as Tenant rejects a communication by Landlord or otherwise has no rights with respect to Expansion Space or any portion thereof, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a certificate setting forth the compliance
of Landlord with the process set forth in this Section, and such other matters as Landlord may reasonably request.

 

4. Tenant’s Representations and Warranties.  Tenant hereby represents, warrants and agrees that: (1) there exists no breach, default or event of default by Landlord
under the Lease, or any event or condition which, with notice or passage of time or both, would constitute a breach, default or event of default by Landlord under the Lease; (2) the Lease continues to be a legal, valid and binding agreement and obligation of Tenant; and (3) Tenant has no current offset or defense to their performance or obligations under the Lease.  Tenant hereby waives and releases all demands, charges, claims, accounts or causes of action of any nature against Landlord or Landlord’s
employees or agents, including without limitation, both known and unknown demands, charges, claims, accounts, and causes of action that have previously arisen out of or in connection with the Lease.

 

5. Anti-Terrorism Statute Compliance.  Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant is not: (1) in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (2) conducting
any business or engaging in any transaction or dealing with any Prohibited Person, including the making or receiving or any  contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Prohibited Person; (3) dealing in, or otherwise engaging in any transaction relating to, any property or interest in property blocked pursuant to Executive Order No. 13221; (4) engaging in or conspiring to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or had the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts
to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law; or (5) a Prohibited Person, nor are any of its partners, members, managers, officers or directors a Prohibited Person.  As used herein, “Antiterrorism Law” is defined as any law relating to terrorism, anti-terrorism, money laundering or anti-money laundering activities, including Executive Order No. 13224 and Title 3 of the USA Patriot Act.  As used herein “Executive Order No. 13224” is defined
as Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing effective September 24, 2001, and relating to “Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, or Support Terrorism” “Prohibited Person” is defined as (1) a person or entity that is listed in the Annex to Executive Order 13224; (ii) a person or entity with whom Tenant or Landlord is prohibited from dealing or otherwise engaging in any transaction by any Anti Terrorism Law, or (iii) a person or entity that is named
as a “specially designated national and blocked person” on the most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office Of Foreign Assets Control as its official website, http://www.treas.gov/ofac/t11sdn.pdf  or at any replacement website or other official publication of such list.  “USA Patriot Act” is defined as the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept
and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001” (Public Law 107-56).

 

6. Real Estate Brokers.  Landlord shall pay a commission regarding this Amendment to Grubb & Ellis as Landlord’s representative and Colliers International as
Tenant’s representative pursuant to a separate agreement.  Tenant represents that it has dealt with no other broker in connection with this Amendment.

 

7. Execution.  Submission of this Amendment for review does not constitute an offer by Landlord to Tenant.  This document may not be relied upon, nor may any
claim for reliance or estoppel be made based upon this document, unless and until this document is fully executed and delivered by each party.  This Amendment may be executed and delivered in counterparts.

 

8. Status of Lease Agreement.  Except as expressly amended hereby, the Lease Agreement remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed.
