3. Expansion Space Term. The Term for Tenant’s lease of the Expansion Space (“Expansion Space Term”) shall commence on the Expansion Commencement Date and shall expire co-terminous with Tenant’s lease of the Existing Premises on July 31, 2016 (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to terminate Tenant’s lease of either the Suite 300 Portion or the Suite 305 Portion, or both, upon one hundred twenty (120) days prior written notice to Landlord deliverable at any time in the sole discretion of Tenant. If Tenant elects to terminate the lease of all or any part of the Expansion Space pursuant to the foregoing termination right, Landlord and Tenant shall thereafter promptly execute a new amendment to the Lease, in a form acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant, modifying the Basic Rental, Tenant’s Proportionate Share. Tenant’s parking allocation, and any other provision of the Lease necessary to account for such termination. Landlord shall provide Tenant with access to the Expansion Space upon full execution and delivery of this Third Amendment by Landlord and Tenant for the purposes of installing Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, and equipment and Tenant’s telephone, network, and data cabling, and Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Basic Rental with respect to the Expansion Space during the period of such access; provided, however, that (i) Tenant’s access hall not interfere with Landlord’s completion of the Improvements, (ii) Tenant shall provide a certificate of insurance in accordance with Article 14 of the Original Lease for the Expansion Space prior to such entry, and (iii) the terms and conditions of Section 13(a) of the Lease shall apply to such access by Tenant.

Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that the Improvements, other than the Suite Configuration Work, shall be completed by Landlord prior to the Expansion Commencement Date. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that the Suite Configuration Work may be completed by Landlord after the Expansion Commencement Date, but any such work after the Expansion Commencement Date shall be performed during non-normal business hours. Tenant hereby agrees that the performance of the Improvements shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Basic Rental for the Expansion Space payable pursuant to this Third Amendment. Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the performance of the Improvements, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Expansion Space resulting from the performance of the Improvements or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by the performance of the Improvements.

In the event that Tenant does not provide Landlord with a copy of such SOS Statement on or before the Outside Date, this Third Amendment shall be voidable by Landlord with five (5) days written notice to Tenant. In the event this Third Amendment is voided as set forth herein, Tenant shall be required to reimburse Landlord for any costs incurred by Landlord in connection with this Third Amendment, including, but not limited to, any Brokers’ commissions and costs associated with the Improvements, within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s request therefor.

Tenant’s rental and use of such additional parking passes shall be in accordance with, and subject to, all provisions of Section 23 of the Original Lease.

Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that, as of the date of this Third Amendment, Tenant is in full compliance with all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease and that, to Tenant’s actual knowledge without any duty to undertake or perform any independent inquiry or investigation, there are no breaches or defaults under the Lease by Landlord or Tenant, and that Tenant knows of no events or circumstances which, given the passage of time, would constitute a default under the Lease by either Landlord or Tenant. The foregoing representations and warranties shall not limit, affect, or abridge Tenant’s rights under Section 3(e) of the Lease.

14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION SEEKING SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF ANY PROVISION OF THE LEASE (AS AMENDED BY THIS THIRD AMENDMENT), FOR DAMAGES FOR ANY BREACH UNDER THE LEASE (AS AMENDED BY THIS THIRD AMENDMENT), OR OTHERWISE FOR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY UNDER THE LEASE (AS AMENDED BY THIS THIRD AMENDMENT).
