foot area of the fifth (5th) floor (collectively, "Demised Premises") of the
building known as and located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx
("Building"); and
B. Tenant is desirous of increasing the size of the Demised Premises by the
addition of 17,862 rentable square feet ("Expansion Space") on the fifth (5th)
floor of the Building, as illustrated on Schedule A, attached hereto and made a
part hereof; and
C. Tenant is desirous of extending by eight (8) months the term for the

(defined in WHEREAS clause B. of the First Amendment) on the fifth (5th) floor

other respects.

hereinafter contained, the parties hereto modify the Lease as follows:
1. DEFINED TERMS. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this
Second Amendment of Lease, all defined terms contained in this Second Amendment
of Lease shall, for the purposes hereof, have the same meaning ascribed to them
in the Lease.

Notice as prepared by Landlord.
