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 hereto hereby agree as follows:

2.    Modification of Premises.   Effective as of the date (the "Expansion Commencement Date ") which is the later to occur of (i) April 1, 2015, and (ii) the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days following the date upon which Landlord delivers the Expansion Premises to Tenant (which delivery is anticipated to occur between July 1, 2014 and November 1, 2014), the Existing Premises shall be increased to include the Expansion Premises.  The Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises may hereinafter collectively be referred to as the " Premises ".  All references in the Lease, as amended, to the Building shall mean (a) the 250 Building when the context applies to the 250 Building or any portion of the Premises located in the 250 Building, (b) the 270 Building when the context applies to the 270 Building or any portion of the Premises located in the 270 Building, and (c) both the 250 Building and the 270 Building when the context applies to both of such buildings.  Tenant shall have the right to access the Expansion Premises from and after the date upon which Landlord delivers the Expansion Premises to Tenant, in accordance with the terms of Section 5.1 of the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the " Tenant Work Letter ").  In the event the Expansion Commencement Date is determined pursuant to item (i) above (i.e., April 1, 2014 occurs more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date Landlord delivers the Expansion Premises to Tenant), then Tenant shall have the right to occupy and use all or any portion of the Expansion Premises during the period commencing on the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days following the date upon which Landlord delivers the Expansion Premises to Tenant ; provided that Landlord is in receipt of (x) the Minimum Rental for the second (2 nd ) full month of the Expansion Term(as required by Section 4.2 below), and (y) a certificate of
