C.           Landlord and Tenant presently desire to amend the Lease to provide, among other things, for the expansion of the Current Premises, as more fully set forth below.
 
A G R E E M E N T
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
 
1.    Defined Terms.  All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same respective meanings as are given such terms in the Lease unless expressly provided otherwise in this Amendment.
 
2.    Confirmation of the Commencement Date for the Existing Premises.  (a) The parties hereto acknowledge that the Commencement Date for the portion of the Existing Premises which Tenant occupied as of December 17, 2007 (the “December 17 Increment”) shall be deemed to be December 17, 2007 (the “December 17 Commencement Date”).  The Commencement Date for the remainder of the First Increment (the “Remaining Increment”) shall be the date on which the Remaining Increment is ready for occupancy as evidenced by a temporary certificate of occupancy or its equivalent from the City of Richmond (the Remaining Increment Commencement Date”).  Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby waives any claims against the other for delays in connection with the delivery of the First Increment.  As used in the Lease, “Commencement Date” shall mean the December 17 Commencement Date with respect to the December 17 Increment and the Remaining Increment Commencement Date with respect to the Remaining Increment.  The square footage of the December 17 Increment and the Remaining Increment shall be determined by Landlord’s architect promptly following the full execution of this Amendment by Landlord and Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has no obligation to perform the following work in the Existing Premises: (i) installation of glass doors, (ii) installation of special feature glass in the conference room, (iii) any furniture and Tenant-supplied fixtures and equipment, (iv) installation of non-stainless steel countertops, (v) AV and teledata, (vi) specialty interior paint, and (vii) roof access by stair with weatherproof observation enclosure allowing for safe assembly of 10 people minimum (item #2 under “Tenant Improvements” listed on Exhibit B-3 attached to the Lease).

(b)           Prior to delivering the 8,310 SF Increment to Tenant, Landlord shall design and construct the Base Building Improvements therein as described in Exhibits B, B-1 and B-2 of the Lease and shall improve the 8,310 SF Increment pursuant to the Approved 8,310 SF Working Drawings, as defined below (the “8,310 SF Improvements”), all in accordance with the Work Letter attached to the Lease.  In performing such work, Landlord shall pay for all Standard Base Building Costs as described in Exhibit B-1 of the Lease with respect to the 8,310 SF Increment. Tenant shall pay for all modifications and upgrades to the Base Building Standards within the 8,310 SF Increment with a credit for any cost saved by Landlord from the amounts Landlord would have incurred for Standard Base Building Costs, all as more specifically described in the Work Letter.
 
(c)           As used herein, “Approved 8,310 SF Working Drawings” shall mean the final 8,310 SF Working Drawings approved by Landlord and Tenant.  The Approved 8,310 SF Working Drawings consist of the Approved 8,110 SF Working Drawings attached hereto as Exhibit A-3-1 and the Approved 200 SF Working Drawings attached hereto as Exhibit A-3-2.  Tenant shall make no changes or modifications to the Approved 8,310 SF Working Drawings without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The 8,310 SF Improvements shall be performed in compliance with all Applicable Requirements. Landlord shall notify Tenant upon Substantial Completion of the 8,310 SF Improvements.
 
(d)           The commencement date of the Lease for the 8,310 SF Increment shall be the Commencement Date for the Second Increment regardless of the date Tenant commences occupancy and use of the 8,310 SF Increment for the conduct of its business (the “8,310 SF Commencement Date”).  Tenant’s use and occupancy of the 8,310 SF Increment shall not trigger the Commencement Date for the Second Increment.
 
(e)           To reflect the addition of the 8,310 SF Increment to the Lease, effective as of the 8,310 SF Commencement Date, Lessee’s Share shall be 1.61% with respect to the 8,310 SF Increment.  Tenant’s initial monthly payment for the estimated Common Area Operating Expenses with respect to the 8,310 SF Increment is $1,246.50.  Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Amendment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of $1,246.50 representing the monthly installment of the estimated Common Area Operating Expenses due with respect to the 8,310 SF Increment for the first month of the Term of the Lease with respect to the 8,310 SF Increment.

5.           Addition of Additional Office Space.  Subject to Tenant’s Additional Termination Right set forth in Section 8 below, the following space shall be added to the Current Premises: that certain space consisting of two increments: (i) “Phase 1” consisting of approximately 17,629 square feet, and (ii) “Phase 2” consisting of approximately 23,460 square feet, collectively referred to herein as the “Additional Office Space” and labeled as such on the attached Exhibit A-4.  Landlord and Tenant agree that for purposes of the Lease and this Amendment, the Additional Office Space shall be deemed to contain approximately 41,089 square feet of space, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 72 of the Lease.  Upon delivery of the applicable Phase of the Additional Office Space, the Lease shall be modified to provide that the “Premises” consists of approximately 247,576 square feet (the combined 8,310 SF Increment, the Current Premises, Additional Office Space and the R&D Space [as defined below] shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Premises”). No later than January 15, 2008, Tenant may elect by written notice to Landlord to perform both the Base Building Improvements and any additional improvements it desires in the Additional Office Space (the “Tenant-Controlled Notice”).  If Tenant timely elects to perform such work by delivery of the Tenant-Controlled Notice to Landlord, then the provisions of Section 5(B) shall govern the addition of the Additional Office Space to the Premises.  If Tenant fails to timely notify Landlord that it has elected to perform such work, then Landlord shall perform such work and the provisions of Section 5(A) shall govern the addition of the Additional Office Space to the Premises.

(d)           Landlord shall construct the Additional Space Improvements pursuant to the provisions of the Work Letter attached to the Lease as Exhibit B except that the schedule for development of the construction drawings shall be as follows:   If Tenant has not elected to perform the Additional Space Improvements, then within thirty (30) days following the later to occur of: (x) the date on which the Preliminary Space Plans have been approved by Landlord and Tenant, and (y) the earlier to occur of the date on which Landlord receives the Tenant-Controlled Notice (in which Tenant indicates that Tenant has elected not to perform the Additional Space Improvements) and January 16, 2008, Landlord shall cause to be prepared working drawings (“Additional Space Working Drawings”) for the Additional Space Improvements pursuant to the Preliminary Space Plans and shall deliver the same to Tenant for its review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned so long as the Additional Space Working Drawings are consistent with the approved Preliminary Space Plans).  The Additional Space Working Drawings shall include basic programming, including architectural and MEP, all clearly documented.  Tenant shall notify Landlord whether it approves of the submitted Additional Space Working Drawings within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s submission thereof.  If Tenant disapproves of such Additional Space Working Drawings, then Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, in which case Landlord shall, within five (5) business days after such notice, revise such Additional Space Working Drawings in accordance with Tenant’s reasonable objections and submit the revised Additional Space Working Drawings to Tenant for its review and approval.  Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether it approves of the resubmitted Additional Space Working Drawings within five (5) business days after its receipt thereof.  This process shall be repeated until the Additional Space Working Drawings have been finally approved by Landlord and Tenant.
 
(e)           As used herein, “Approved Additional Space Working Drawings” shall mean the final Additional Space Working Drawings approved by Landlord and Tenant, as amended from time to time by any approved changes thereto.  Landlord shall provide a final copy of the Approved Additional Space Working Drawings to Tenant no later than the date which is twenty (20) days following the approval of the Approved Additional Space Working Drawings by Landlord and Tenant.  Neither party shall make any changes or modifications to the Approved Additional Space Working Drawings without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Landlord shall hire an established and qualified general contractor which has been approved by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The contractor shall put subcontractors (three each for each of the major trades) through a competitive bid process reviewed by Tenant’s project manager, and such hiring process shall include a determination as to the subcontractor’s ability to meet Tenant’s reasonable timing and budget requirements.  The Additional Space Improvements shall be performed in compliance with all Applicable Requirements.  Promptly following finalization of the Approved Additional Space Working Drawings, Landlord shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Additional Space Improvements.  Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a construction schedule for the Additional Space Improvements and shall update such schedule not less than once a week.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which Landlord estimates that Substantial Completion of the Additional Space Improvements will occur and Landlord shall notify Tenant promptly following the actual date of the Substantial Completion of the Additional Space Improvements.

(f)           The target commencement date (“Target Commencement Date”) of the Lease for Phase 1 of the Additional Office Space shall be the earlier to occur of: (i) the date which is five (5) months following the date on which the Approved Additional Space Working Drawings were approved by Landlord and Tenant, or (ii) January 1, 2009, provided that in the event the Additional Space Working Drawings were approved after June 30, 2008 for reasons other than Tenant Delay, the January 1, 2009 date shall be extended one day for each day after June 30, 2008 through the date immediately preceding the date of such approval of the Additional Space Working Drawings.  Except as provided below, the commencement date for Phase 1 of the Additional Office Space shall be the earlier of: (x) the date of Substantial Completion of the Additional Space Improvements in the Additional Office Space in accordance with the Work Letter, but in no event prior to the Target Commencement Date, or (y) the date on which Tenant begins operating its business in any portion of Phase 1 of the Additional Office Space (the “Additional Space Commencement Date”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (AA) Substantial Completion of the Lessor’s Work in Phase 1 of the Additional Office Space has not occurred by January 1, 2009 (the “Outside Additional Delivery Date”) as extended by any (i) Tenant Delay or (ii) events of Force Majeure, then commencing on the day immediately following the Outside Additional Delivery Date [as such date may be extended as provided herein], Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent on a per diem basis for each day of such delay.  The Outside Additional Delivery Date shall be delayed one day for each day of delay in the occurrence of the approval of the Additional Space Working Drawings on and after June 30, 2008.  The term of the Lease with respect to Phase 1 of the Additional Office Space shall commence on the Additional Space Commencement Date and shall be co-terminous with the Term of the Lease for the Existing Premises.  The commencement date of the Lease for Phase 2 of the Additional Office Space shall be the earlier to occur of: (A) January 1, 2010, provided that Landlord has Substantially Completed the Additional Space Improvements therein in compliance with the Work Letter and this Amendment, and (B) the date on which Tenant begins operating its business in Phase 2 of the Additional Office Space (the “Phase 2 Commencement Date”).  The term of the Lease with respect to Phase 2 of the Additional Office Space shall commence on the Phase 2 Commencement Date and shall be co-terminous with the Term of the Lease for the Existing Premises.
 
(g)           Tenant shall be permitted early access to each Phase of the Additional Office Space commencing on the date which Landlord estimates to be thirty (30) days prior to Substantial Completion of the Additional Space Improvements in the subject Phase of the Additional Office Space (each, an “Additional Space Access Date”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.  Subject to and in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended hereby, except for Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent with respect to the Additional Office Space (which obligation shall commence as provided in Section 6 below), Tenant shall have access to the subject Phase of the Additional Office Space on the subject Additional Space Access Date.  The period of early access shall commence on the subject Additional Space Access Date and continue through the date immediately preceding the Additional Space Commencement Date or the Phase 2 Commencement Date, as the case may be (each, an “Additional Space Access Period”).  During the Additional Space Access Period, Tenant may enter the subject Phase of the Additional Office Space for the purpose of installing Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment, provided that Tenant shall be solely responsible for any loss or damage to its equipment and fixtures from any cause whatsoever other than to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its contractor or any of their agents or representatives.  Such early access to the Additional Office Space and the performance of such installation activity shall be permitted only to the extent that Landlord determines that such early access and the performance of such installation activity will not delay the Substantial Completion of the Additional Space Improvements.  Tenant shall (i) provide certificates of insurance evidencing the existence and amounts of liability insurance carried by Tenant and its agents and contractors, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, prior to such early entry, and (ii) comply with all Applicable Requirements to such early entry work in the Additional Office Space.  Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in the scheduling of Tenant’s early access to each Phase of the Additional Office Space and of the performance of the installation activities in an attempt to maximize the benefits to Tenant of this Section 3(g) without interfering with the Substantial Completion of the Additional Space Improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such early access or installation delays or interferes with Landlord’s performance of the Additional Space Improvements, Landlord shall have the right to deny Tenant further access to the subject Phase of the Additional Office Space until the Additional Space Commencement Date or the Phase 2 Commencement Date, as the case may be.

B. Tenant-Controlled Build-Out
 
(a)           Tenant shall be permitted early access to the Additional Office Space commencing on the first business day following Tenant’s delivery of the Tenant-Controlled Notice to Landlord (the “Additional Space Access Date”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.  Subject to and in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended hereby, except for Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent with respect to the Additional Office Space (which obligation shall commence as provided in Section 6(a) below), Tenant shall have access to the Additional Office Space on the Additional Space Access Date.  The period of early access shall commence on the Additional Space Access Date and continue through the date immediately preceding the Additional Space Commencement Date or the Phase 2 Commencement Date, as the case may be (each, an “Additional Space Access Period”).  During the Additional Space Access Period, Tenant may enter the Additional Office Space for the purpose of constructing the Additional Space Improvements and installing Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment, provided that Tenant shall be solely responsible for any loss or damage to its equipment and fixtures from any cause whatsoever.  Tenant shall (i) provide certificates of insurance evidencing the existence and amounts of liability insurance carried by Tenant and its agents and contractors, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, prior to such early entry, and (ii) comply with all Applicable Requirements to such early entry work in the Additional Office Space.

(c)           As of the date of this Amendment, Landlord and Tenant have not developed or agreed upon the space plans for the Additional Office Space (“Preliminary Space Plans”).  The parties agree to work in good faith to develop and agree upon such Preliminary Space Plans.  Tenant shall construct the Additional Space Improvements pursuant to the provisions of the Work Letter attached to the Lease as Exhibit B except that the schedule for development of the construction drawings shall be as follows:   Within thirty (30) days following the later to occur of Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of the Tenant-Controlled Notice and the approval of the Preliminary Space Plans by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall cause to be prepared working drawings (“Additional Space Working Drawings”) for the Additional Space Improvements pursuant to the Preliminary Space Plans and deliver the same to Landlord for its review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).  The Additional Space Working Drawings shall include basic programming, including architectural and MEP, all clearly documented.  Landlord shall notify Tenant whether it approves of the submitted Additional Space Working Drawings within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s submission thereof.  If Landlord disapproves of such Additional Space Working Drawings, then Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, in which case Tenant shall, within five (5) business days after such notice, revise such Additional Space Working Drawings in accordance with Landlord’s reasonable objections and submit the revised Additional Space Working Drawings to Landlord for its review and approval.  Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing whether it approves of the resubmitted Additional Space Working Drawings within five (5) business days after its receipt thereof.  This process shall be repeated until the Additional Space Working Drawings have been finally approved by Landlord and Tenant.  If, despite Tenant’s diligent efforts (but excluding any delays solely due to Landlord Delay, as defined below), the Additional Space Working Drawings are not approved by Landlord and Tenant on or before October 1, 2008, then Landlord may elect to send a written notice to Tenant stating that Tenant’s failure to perform all necessary work in order to finalize the Additional Space Working Drawings within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice (the “Plan Cure Period”) shall entitle Landlord upon the lapse of such Plan Cure Period to terminate the Lease solely with respect to this Section 5 and Section 6 below.  If, despite the good faith efforts of Landlord and Tenant, the Additional Space Working Drawings are not approved by both parties during the Plan Cure Period, then Landlord may elect by delivery of written notice to Tenant (“Landlord’s Termination Notice”) to terminate the Lease solely with respect to this Section 5 and Section 6 below and Landlord shall have no further obligation to make the Additional Office Space available for occupancy or lease by Tenant.  Within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Termination Notice, Tenant shall remove any and all of Tenant’s personal property located in the Additional Office Space, if any, and shall pay Landlord a termination fee in the amount of $100,000.00.
 
(d)           As used herein, “Approved Additional Space Working Drawings” shall mean the final Additional Space Working Drawings approved by Landlord and Tenant, as amended from time to time by any approved changes thereto.  Tenant shall provide a final copy of the Approved Additional Space Working Drawings to Landlord no later than the date which is twenty (20) days following the approval of the Approved Additional Space Working Drawings by Landlord and Tenant.  Tenant shall make no changes or modifications to the Approved Additional Space Working Drawings without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Tenant shall hire an established general contractor and such general contractor shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The general contractor shall put subcontractors through a competitive bid process reviewed by Landlord’s project manager and such hiring process shall include the general contractor’s ability to meet Tenant’s reasonable timing and budget requirements.  The Additional Space Improvements shall be performed in compliance with all Applicable Requirements.  Promptly following finalization of the Approved Additional Space Working Drawings, Tenant shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Additional Space Improvements.  Tenant shall notify Landlord upon Substantial Completion of the Additional Space Improvements.

(g)           The Additional Office Space Base Allowance shall be paid to Tenant on the date which is thirty (30) days following Tenant's compliance with each of the following: (i) Tenant shall have completed the Base Building Improvements in the Additional Office Space (“Additional Space Base Work”) in accordance with the Approved Additional Space Working Drawings, (ii) Tenant shall furnish Landlord with copies of invoices or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to confirm that Tenant spent at least as much as the Additional Office Space Base Allowance for the Additional Space Base Work, (iii) Tenant shall provide Landlord with an unconditional lien waiver in the statutory form from its general contractor with respect to the Additional Space Base Work, (iv) Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of its permits for the construction of the Additional Space Base Work, and (v) Tenant shall provide a certificate from Tenant’s architect that the Additional Space Base Work was completed in material and substantial compliance with such permits and the Approved Additional Space Working Drawings.  All bills for the Additional Space Base Work must be submitted on or before December 31, 2010, after which time, any amounts not funded shall be forfeited, and Landlord will make no further payments related to the Additional Space Base Work after such date.  Landlord shall have no obligation to fund any portion of the Additional Office Space Base Allowance at any time that Tenant is in Default under the Lease, as amended hereby.

8.           Termination Right.  (a) Prior to Tenant’s occupancy of any portion of the Additional Office Space, Tenant shall have a right to terminate the Lease solely with respect to the Additional Office Space (the “Additional Termination Right”) by delivering to Landlord written notice (the “Additional Termination Notice”) of the exercise of such Additional Termination Right.  If the Additional Termination Notice is delivered to Landlord on or before May 1, 2008 and prior to Tenant commencing any construction in the Additional Office Space, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of $100,000.00.  If the Additional Termination Notice is delivered to Landlord after May 1, 2008 and prior to Tenant’s occupancy of any portion of the Additional Office Space, then concurrently with delivery of the Additional Termination Notice to Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a “Termination Payment” equal to the sum of (A) the unamortized portions of the Standard Base Building Costs and any Additional Allowance paid by Landlord in connection with the Additional Office Space, plus (B) the unamortized portion of leasing commissions, and legal fees paid by Landlord on account of the Lease with respect to the Additional Office Space, plus (C) an amount equal to six (6) months Base Rent with respect to the entirety of the Additional Office Space in the amount of $396,919.74 (the “Termination Rental Sum”).  The Termination Rental Sum shall be paid concurrently with delivery of the Additional Termination Notice to Landlord and the remaining portions of the Termination Payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following such date as Landlord provides to Tenant written verification of such costs, fees and commissions.  As used herein, the “Additional Early Termination Date” shall mean the date of Landlord’s receipt of the Additional Termination Notice.  The amortization calculation shall be computed as of the last day of the period covered by the Termination Rental Sum.  If Tenant delivers a valid Additional Termination Notice together with the amount of $100,000.00 or the Termination Payment, as the case may be, then the Lease solely with respect to the Additional Office Space shall terminate at 11:59 p.m. on the Additional Early Termination Date.

12.           Real Estate Brokers.  Tenant and Landlord warrant that they have had no dealings with any broker or agent in connection with this Amendment, other than BT Commercial (Landlord’s broker) and CM Realty (Tenant’s broker).  Landlord shall pay a commission to Landlord’s broker pursuant to a separate written agreement and shall pay Tenant’s broker pursuant to the existing separate written agreement between Landlord and Tenant’s broker.  Landlord covenants to pay, hold harmless and indemnify Tenant from and against any and all cost, expense or liability for any compensation, commissions or charges claimed by any other broker or agent utilized by Landlord with respect to this Amendment or the negotiation hereof.  Tenant covenants to pay, hold harmless and indemnify Landlord from and against any and all cost, expense or liability for any compensation, commissions or charges claimed by any other broker or agent utilized by Tenant with respect to this Amendment or the negotiation hereof.

14.           No Offer.  Submission of this instrument for examination and signature by Tenant does not constitute an offer to lease or a reservation of or option for lease, and this instrument is not effective as a lease amendment or otherwise until executed and delivered by both Landlord and Tenant.
 
15.           Exhibits.  Exhibit A-3, Exhibit A-3-1, Exhibit A-3-2, Exhibit A-4 and, Exhibit A-5 attached hereto shall be incorporated into the Lease, as amended hereby.
 
16.           Lease in Full Force and Effect.  This Amendment contains the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the matters contained herein.  Tenant hereby affirms to its knowledge that on the date hereof no breach or default by either 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 with no defenses or offsets thereto.  No representations, warranties, covenants or agreements have been made concerning or affecting the subject matter of this Amendment, except as are contained herein and in the Lease.  This Amendment may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change or modification or discharge is sought.
