Section 9.02. Tenant Affiliate is amended by adding at the end the following sentence:

“In the case of Boise, the term “Tenant Affiliate” shall include Boise’s affiliates, subsidiaries and parent entities.”

A new Article Fifteen: Additional Terms is added. Article Fifteen shall read as follows:

“Section 15.01. Right to Use Access Road. Tenant shall have a nonexclusive right to use in common with others the access road presently located on the parcel adjacent to the Property (the “Adjacent Property”)and further described in Exhibit C hereto (the “Access Road”). Landlord represents and warrants that, as of the date of this Amendment, it is the current fee owner of the Adjacent Property and has the authority to grant Tenant the right to use the Access Road as provided in this section. A Memorandum of Lease in the form of Exhibit D hereto shall be recorded by the parties concurrently with the execution of this Amendment.

Tenant may use the Access Road only for vehicular ingress and egress to the Property by Tenant, its employees, customers suppliers, representatives, contractors and invitees (collectively “Tenant’s Parties”). Only ingress and egress that is related or incidental to Tenant’s use of the Property as allowed under this Lease shall be permitted. Vehicles that exceed the weight capacity of the Access Road shall not be permitted on the Access Road. Tenant shall be responsible for all damage caused to the Access Road by Tenant or Tenant’s Parties.

Subject to Tenant’s obligation to pay Landlord for the cost to repair any damage cause by Tenant or Tenant’s Parties, Landlord shall maintain the Access Road in its current condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Landlord shall keep the Access Road open at all times, subject to temporary closures of portions of the Access Road that may be reasonably necessary for maintenance or repairs. Landlord shall give Tenant prior notice of any temporary closure of portions of the Access Road for the purpose of repairs and shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that such closures will not prevent Tenant’s ingress and egress to the Property.

Landlord may not relocate the Access Road (or any of the utility lines located on and servicing the Property) during the term of this Lease without providing Tenant alternate access and utility service that is reasonably comparable to that provided by the Access Road and the existing utility lines.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 15.01, if Tenant subleases the Property to Boise, Boise, in addition to Tenant, shall become responsible for maintaining the Access Road in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. If Boise’s intended use of the Access Road will exceed its weight capacity, prior to exceeding such capacity, Boise, or Tenant, shall upgrade the Access Road to meet Boise’s intended use and needs at Boise’s (or Tenant’s) sole cost and expense. Until such time as Landlord or other tenants of Landlord begin using the Access Road, Boise, or Tenant, shall maintain the same at its sole cost and expense without any right of contribution from Landlord or any other tenant. If Landlord or other tenants begin using the Access Road, Boise, or Tenant, shall continue to remain liable for the maintenance and repair of the Access Road, but the cost thereof shall be allocated in an equitable manner among the parties using the same.

Section 15.02. Water Line Access. Landlord grants to Tenant the right to install, inspect, operate, maintain, alter, repair, replace and remove a standard size fire protection water line from the city street adjacent to the Property to the structures presently located on the Property for the purpose of servicing a fire sprinkler system on the Property. If Tenant elects to install the water line, it shall be installed below ground within a 10 foot wide strip adjacent to the Access Road. The area along the Access Road and from the Access Road to the end of the water line is further delineated in Exhibit C hereto. Tenant’s right to utilize the water tank described in Section 15.03 below will terminate upon completion of the water line, but Tenant is not obligated to install such line.

Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary governmental approval for the installation of the water line and shall be responsible for all costs related to its installation, operation, maintenance, alteration, repair, replacement and removal. Tenant shall construct the water line in accordance with applicable codes, regulations and permits in a good and workmanlike manner free from defects. Tenant shall be responsible and indemnify Landlord for any damage to the Property, the Access Road or other improvements that may result from any of the foregoing activities and from any damages caused by water line leaks or breakage.

Section 15.03. Water Tank Until such time as the water line is installed and operational, Tenant shall have the right to continue to use the water tank located adjacent to the Property for fire protection purposes. Such use is currently exclusive and shall remain so, except that Landlord may allow future tenants on Landlord’s properties adjacent to the Property to use the water tank on a pro rata basis, provided that such use is allowed under applicable fire codes and regulations. Landlord shall allow Tenant reasonable and necessary access to the water tank in order to test and maintain adequate water levels, connecting pipes, pumping machinery and all other aspects of the current fire protection system that services the Property.

Section 15.04. Signage If Tenant subleases the Property to Boise, subject to Boise obtaining all required governmental approvals, Boise shall have the right to place or paint one or more signs on the Property including directional and safety signs to adequately direct visitors, guests and the like on the Property so long as such signs are not readily readable from Xxxxxx Road. Such signage, at Boise’s option, shall include one free standing sign at the Xxxxxx Road

entrance to the Property. Such free standing sign will be located on the north side of the Access Road on the Landlord’s adjacent property and as close to Xxxxxx Road and the Access Road as possible, subject to applicable setback requirements. If the Access Road is moved in the future, the free standing sign will also be moved so that at all times it will adjacent to the Access Road and Xxxxxx Road as set forth in the preceding sentence. The approximate size, shape and look of the free standing sign are set forth in Exhibit E hereto. Boise’s signage shall be installed and maintained at Boise’s expense and upon termination of Boise’s Sublease, at Landlord’s request, Boise (or Tenant) shall remove such signage at no cost or expense to Landlord. Tenant shall remove all existing signage on the Property within 90 days after the date hereof.”

2. Confirmation of Remaining Terms. Except as expressly set forth above, all preprinted terms and provisions of the Original Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. A copy of the Original Lease, together with the revised Exhibits thereto is attached hereto and made a part hereof. This Amendment, together with the Original Lease, as amended, constitute the lease agreement between Landlord and Tenant of the Property as of the date hereof.

3. Effective Date of Amendment. This Amendment shall be effective upon the date hereof, but in the event Boise exercises its right to terminate the Sublease prior to the commencement of the term of occupancy thereunder, only the amendments to Sections 1.01 through 1.05 and the addition of Section 15.01 and Section 15.03 shall remain effective. All other amendments made to the Original Lease pursuant to this Amendment shall be null and void.

4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed through the use of multiple counterpart signature pages all of which signature pages when attached to one or more counterparts of this Amendment shall constitute a fully executed agreement, notwithstanding the fact that all parties may not have signed the same signature page. All such fully executed counterparts of this Amendment shall constitute a single agreement. This Amendment shall be considered effective when a signature page is signed by each party and delivered to the other parties; provided, that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding on the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original and not a facsimile signature.
