3. The Tenant warrants that it has not had any dealings with any realtor, broker, or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement excepting only Xxx Xxxxxxx with Resource One, to whom Landlord agrees to pay a commission in the amount of $37,681.44. Each party agrees to hold the other harmless from any cost, expense or liability for any compensation, commissions, or charges (other than said commission to Resource One) claimed by any realtor, broker, or agent with respect to this Agreement and/or the negotiation thereof.

4. The Parties acknowledge that Landlord shall not be required to make any improvements to the Premises in conjunction with the extension of the demised term herein. Notwithstanding the previous sentence to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Landlord’s right to provide and install the HVAC work described in Section 3.2. of the Lease may be performed, at Landlord’s option, at any time during the demised term of the Lease, as such demised term is extended herein.

5. Tenant shall have the right, at its option, to terminate the Lease and surrender the Premises to Landlord effective at any time from and after June 30, 2006, by giving Landlord nine (9) months prior written notice of its election to exercise said option, and the Lease shall terminate nine (9) months after the receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s notice (the “termination date”). In the event Tenant should elect to exercise said option to terminate the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in consideration thereof, the following amounts (all in addition to the base rent and additional rent which shall be due during the period after Tenant’s written notice through the termination date, which shall be paid as and when due): an amount equal to the aggregate of the following: (i) the sum derived by multiply the amount of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) times the number of months remaining from the first day of the month during which the termination date occurs until July 1, 2008; plus (ii) an amount equal to the unamortized cost of the leasing commission paid by Landlord hereunder (i.e., $37,681.44) as of the termination date. The amount referred to in (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the sixty (60) month period. Such payment (i.e., the total of (i) and (ii) above) shall be made by Tenant to Landlord at the time Tenant gives written notice of its election to terminate the Lease, and Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises no later than the termination date, or said option shall be null and void and the Lease will remain in full force and effect.

For purposes of illustration only, if Tenant were to exercise its option to terminate the Lease with a termination date of July 1, 2006, then Tenant would pay to Landlord, at the time Tenant were to give its written notice to Landlord, the amount of $375,072.58 which would be determined as follows: (i) the amount of $360,000.00 ($15,000.00 x 24 months), plus (ii) the amount of $15,072.58 ($37,681.44 amortized over 60 months).

6. It is understood and agreed that all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall be and remain the same. If there is any conflict between the provisions of this Amendment to Lease and the provisions of the Lease, the provisions contained in this Amendment to Lease shall control.
