Lease of Premises Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises for the Term and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
Expansion of Premises (a) Effective as of the Expansion Date the Premises (and the definition of the “Premises”) shall be modified to mean and include both the Initial Premises and the Expansion Premises. As a result of such expansion, effective upon the Expansion Date, the deemed square footage of the Premises shall be and become 31,684 square feet and Tenant’s Prorata Share and Tenant’s Share of Expenses and Real Estate Taxes shall be one hundred percent (100.00%).
(b) If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Expansion Premises to Tenant on before August 1, 2012 for the purpose specified in Section 3(c), this Amendment shall not be void or voidable, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and Tenant shall have no obligation to pay monthly Base Rent or Additional Charges with respect to the Expansion Premises until the day following the date on which possession of the Expansion Premises is delivered to Tenant (such date thereupon becoming the “Expansion Date” for purposes of this Amendment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is unable to deliver the Expansion Premises by August 1, 2012 (as extended day-for-day for each day of Force Majeure Delay) (the “Expansion Premises Outside Delivery Date”), then Tenant shall have the right, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Amendment to Lease by providing written notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days following the Expansion Premises Outside Delivery Date, in which event the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if the parties had not entered into this Amendment and Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant the August, 2012 Base Rent for the Expansion Premises paid by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(d). For purposes hereof, the failure of the existing tenant of the Expansion Premises to vacate the Expansion Premises shall not be an event of Force Majeure Delay.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall be entitled to early occupancy of the Expansion Premises at any time after the Expansion Premises Delivery Date for the sole purposes of (1) installing Tenant’s furniture and telephone and other communications cabling and (2) performing Tenant’s Expansion Work (defined below), provided that (i) Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant and Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors will cooperate with Landlord to coordinate the performance and completion of the Landlord’s Expansion Work concurrently with Tenant’s Expansion Work, (ii) Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for delays in completing the Landlord’s Expansion Work which result from, are caused by or arise out of the interference by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors in the performance of the Landlord’s Expansion Work, (iii) Tenant and Tenant’s employees, agents and contractors shall promptly comply with any and all requests made by Landlord or Landlord’s contractor(s) that Tenant remove its property from those areas in or around which Landlord is performing the Landlord’s Expansion Work, and (iv) Landlord shall not be liable for, Tenant hereby waives all claims which Tenant may have against the Landlord Parties, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and defend Landlord against any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to any person or property in or about the Expansion Premises resulting from or arising out of or in connection with the performance of Tenant’s Expansion Work (except to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord). Tenant’s early occupancy of the Expansion Premises for the sole purpose provided in this Section shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, provided that (x) the Premises shall not include the Expansion Premises until the Expansion Date, and (y) Tenant shall not be obligated to pay monthly Base Rent or Additional Charges with respect to the Expansion Premises for the period from the Expansion Premises Delivery Date until the Expansion Date.
(d) Within five (5) business days after the Expansion Date, the parties shall execute a letter confirming the Expansion Date and certifying that Tenant has accepted delivery of the Premises, in form substantially similar to EXHIBIT “D” attached to the Lease (the “Expansion Date Memorandum”). Either party’s failure to request execution of, or to execute, the Expansion Date Memorandum shall not in any way alter the Expansion Date.
Condition of Premises Landlord shall deliver the Premises and Landlord’s Work shall be good and workmanlike using first class materials. Landlord’s Work is hereby warranted for one year from the Rent Commencement Date and no costs to effect the same shall be included in Operating Expenses. All Building systems including, but not limited to, HVAC, mechanical and electrical, elevators and the structure of the Building shall be in good working order and/or good repair, as the case may be, at the time Tenant occupies the Premises. The Premises shall be initially improved as provided in, and subject to, the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and made a part hereof. The existing leasehold improvements in the Premises as of the date of this Lease, together with the Tenant Improvements (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter) may be collectively referred to herein as the “Tenant Improvements.” Landlord reserves the right from time to time, but subject to payment by and/or reimbursement from Tenant as otherwise provided herein: (i) to install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate for service to the Premises and/or other parts of the Building pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, appurtenant fixtures, and mechanical systems, wherever located in the Premises or the Building, (ii) to alter, close or relocate any facility in the Premises or the Common Areas or otherwise conduct any of the above activities for the purpose of complying with legal requirements for fire/life safety for the Building or otherwise and (iii) to comply with any federal, state or local law, rule or order with respect thereto or the regulation thereof not currently in effect. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to perform any such work with the least inconvenience to Tenant as possible, but in no event shall Tenant be permitted to withhold or reduce Rent or other charges due hereunder as a result of same or otherwise make claim against Landlord for interruption or interference with Tenant’s business and/or operations. No incursion into or through the Premises shall be made without Tenant’s consent except in the case of an emergency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord requires entry into the Premises for the purpose of performing any of its obligations contained in this Lease and such entry is denied, Landlord shall not be deemed in default hereunder for failing to perform such obligations.
Time of the Essence in This Tenant Work Letter Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to a “number of days” shall mean and refer to calendar days. If any item requiring approval is timely disapproved by Landlord, the procedure for preparation of the document and approval thereof shall be repeated until the document is approved by Landlord.

Except for abatement of Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, as aforesaid, all other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair, remediation or restoration.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way, the repair or restoration of the Premises within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice to Lessor and such Lenders and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If Lessor or a Lender commences the repair or restoration of the Premises within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. "Commence" as used in this Paragraph 9.6 shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever occurs first.

B. Lessee agrees to perform, at its own cost and expense, all work other than Lessor’s Work, including without limitation that work, as particularly described in Exhibit “E” annexed hereto (“Lessee’s Work”), which is necessary to make the Premises conform with Lessee’s plans as approved by Lessor.

Failure to provide same within said thirty (30) day period shall constitute a default by Lessee under this Lease. Lessor’s failure to disapprove of Lessee’s plans within fifteen (15) days of receipt shall constitute acceptance by Lessor of such plans. Design elements as aforesaid will be displayed in color renderings in such detail as may be sufficient for Lessor’s needs. It is the purpose of this requirement that Lessee’s Premises be fixtured, designed and laid out so as not to be a detriment to the other tenants in the Building and that Lessee’s Work shall not be detrimental to the Building or other tenants therein, and Lessor’s approval of the plans and specifications as aforesaid for Lessee’s Work shall be at the Lessor’s sole discretion. Lessee agrees and acknowledges that all Lessee’s Work, improvements, alterations or additions performed by Lessee (hereinafter collectively “Alterations”) whether pursuant to this Section or otherwise, shall be carried out in compliance with all Requirements and is performed and accomplished solely for the benefit and convenience of Lessee, and not for the benefit of Lessor, such Alterations being nevertheless subject to each and every of the provisions of this Lease,.

Tenant may remove all of Tenant's furniture and equipment which is not affixed to the Premises so as to become a fixture (i.e, unattached items and items which are temporarily attached by bolts and screws, but not items which are built-in or incorporated into the Building or the electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems therein), but Tenant shall not remove any such item which was paid for, in whole or in part, by Landlord. Additionally, Tenant shall remove such alterations, additions, improvements, fixtures, equipment, wiring, furniture, and other property to the extent that such items were constructed or installed by or under the direction of a Tenant Party as Landlord may request, provided such request is made within 30 days after the end of the Term, unless Landlord has specifically agreed in writing that such items need not be so removed. All items not so removed shall, at the option of Landlord, be deemed abandoned by Tenant and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without notice to Tenant and without any obligation to account for such items and Tenant shall pay for the costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.

No payments of money by Tenant to Landlord after the Term shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term, and no extension of the Term shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by Landlord and Tenant.

Failure by Tenant to timely exercise such right shall be deemed a waiver with respect thereto and confirmation that the New Premises are acceptable to Tenant. In addition, if Tenant fails to exercise such right of termination by written notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord’s relocation notice or to accept the New Premises in writing by written notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord’s relocation notice, then Landlord shall have the right, at any time thereafter, to terminate this Lease effective the later of (a) thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice of termination or (b) the proposed relocation date as set forth in Landlord’s relocation notice. Tenant shall have the right to accept the New Premises only for the unexpired term of this Lease.
C. In the event Landlord requires the relocation of Tenant’s operation for any other reason, then Landlord reserves the right at any time during the Lease Term hereof to require Tenant to relocate to the New Premises upon the following terms and conditions: (a) the New Premises shall contain a Store Floor Area which shall not vary more than ten percent (10%) from the Store Floor Area contained in the Premises; (b) Landlord shall notify Tenant not less than ninety (90) days prior to the date Tenant is required to surrender possession of the Premises; (c) Landlord shall, at Landlord’s cost and expense, complete the leasehold improvements in the New Premises, in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord with respect to Tenant’s original work in the Premises; (d) Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after possession of the New Premises has been tendered to Tenant, open for business in the New Premises; and (e) Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.3 within fifteen (15) days after possession of the New Premises has been tendered to Tenant.
D. The New Premises shall be subject to the same terms, conditions and covenants as the Premises except that if the Store Floor Area of the New Premises differs from the Store Floor Area of the Premises, then the Minimum Rent and Sales Breakpoint shall be proportionately adjusted. Upon the occurrence of any relocation pursuant to this Section 2.5, the parties hereto shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease reflecting such relocation of Tenant and, if applicable, any adjustment to the Minimum Rent and Sales Breakpoint.
E. Landlord has made no representation as to any additional improvements or stores or any existing stores in the Center and this provision does not create any rights of option, first refusal or otherwise with respect to any present or future space in the Center.
