3. Improvements within Expansion Premises.

(a) The parties acknowledge that the Expansion Premises has already been improved with two industrial offices with ventilation and electric heaters.  Landlord shall improve the Expansion Premises pursuant to the Approved Expansion Working Drawings as defined below (the “Expansion Premises Improvements”).  In performing such work, Landlord shall pay for (i) the installation of Reznor heaters and ventilation within the Expansion Premises similar to that installed in the Title 9 space in the Building, (ii) demolishing and relocating the bathrooms and demising wall within the Expansion Premises, (iii) the relocation of seismic cabling bracing within the Expansion Premises as reasonably required to maintain the seismic  stability of the Building up to a maximum cost of $25,000.00, (iv) the work shown on the attached Exhibit A-2 (the “Expansion Plans”), excluding item #6 (floor excavation for dock), (v) the installation of T5HO lighting fixtures up to a maximum cost of $150 per lighting fixture plus $50 for the installation cost per lighting fixture (with an estimated 130 such lighting fixtures to be installed in the Expansion Premises), and (vi) all Standard Base Building Costs as described in Exhibit B-1 of the Lease with respect to the Expansion Premises.  Tenant shall pay for: (x) all costs in excess of the costs described in clauses (iii) and (v) above, and (y) all modifications and upgrades to the Base Building Standards within the Expansion Premises 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 attached to the Lease.

(b) Landlord shall construct the Expansion Premises 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 date of this Amendment, Landlord shall cause to be prepared working drawings (“Expansion Working Drawings”) for the Expansion Premises Improvements pursuant to the Expansion Plans and deliver the same to Tenant for its review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).  Tenant shall notify Landlord whether it approves of the submitted Expansion Working Drawings within ten (10) days after the Landlord’s submission thereof.  If Tenant disapproves of such Expansion 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 Expansion Working Drawings in accordance with Lessee’s reasonable objections and submit the revised Expansion Working Drawings to Tenant for its review and approval.  Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether it approves of the resubmitted Expansion Working Drawings within five (5) business days after its receipt thereof.  This process shall be repeated until the Expansion Working Drawings have been finally approved by Landlord and Tenant.

(c) As used herein, “Approved Expansion Working Drawings” shall mean the final Expansion 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 Expansion Working Drawings to Tenant no later than the date which is twenty (20) days following the approval of the Approved Expansion Working Drawings by Landlord and Tenant.  Tenant shall make no changes or modifications to the Approved Expansion Working Drawings without the prior written consent of Landlord.  Landlord shall hire an established general contractor who shall put subcontractors through a competitive bid process reviewed by Tenant’s

2

project manager and such hiring process shall include the general contractor’s ability to meet Tenant’s reasonable timing and budget requirements.  The Expansion Premises Improvements shall be performed in compliance with all Applicable Requirements.  Promptly following finalization of the Approved Expansion Working Drawings, Landlord shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Expansion Premises Improvements.  Landlord shall notify Tenant upon Substantial Completion of the Expansion Premises Improvements.

(d) The commencement date of the Lease for the Expansion Premises shall be September 15, 2007 (the “Expansion Commencement Date”), regardless of whether the Expansion Premises Improvements have been Substantially Completed by such date.

4. Base Rent.  To reflect the addition of the Expansion Premises to the Lease and notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, effective as of the Expansion Commencement Date, and continuing thereafter through the remainder of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month, for the Expansion Premises, as follows:

(b) Rule #20 set forth in the Rules and Regulations attached to the Lease as Exhibit C is hereby modified by deleting the text of same and substituting the following language therefore:  “No animals shall be kept in or about the Premises or permitted therein; provided, however, that subject to compliance with the Applicable Requirements, Lessee shall be permitted to have one (1) well-trained companion dog on the Premises at any one time.  Such dog is to be quiet and shall not constitute a nuisance to other tenants, occupants or visitors to the Project.  Lessee shall be responsible for properly and promptly disposing of all waste from such dog.  If the permitted dog causes a nuisance or injury to anyone, then Lessor shall have the right to ban such dog from the Premises forthwith and Lessee shall be solely responsible for all damages resulting from such nuisance or injury.”

8. 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.  Landlord covenants to pay, hold harmless and indemnify Tenant from and against any and all cost, expense or liability for an 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 an compensation, commissions or charges claimed by any other broker or agent utilized by Tenant with respect to this Amendment or the negotiation hereof.
