WHEREAS, pursuant to the Lease, Tenant also has an option to lease up to 4,387 additional rentable square feet of space on the first floor of the Building (the “PTRP Option Space”); and
WHEREAS, Tenant provided Landlord notice on July 3, 2006, of its exercise of its Option to Lease as to all of the First Floor Option Space and of its exercise of its Option to Lease as to a portion of the PTRP Option Space, all such space (together with some additional space determined in connection with the BOMA Plan referenced below) as further described in this Amendment (the “January 2007 Expansion Space”), Tenant’s lease of the January 2007 Expansion Space to become effective on January 1, 2007 and through the Renewal Term; and
WHEREAS, Tenant in such written notice also exercised its Option to Lease as to the remaining PTRP Option Space, as further described in this Amendment (the “August 2007 Expansion Space” and, together with the January 2007 Expansion Space, the “Expansion Space”), Tenant’s lease of the August 2007 Expansion Space to be effective August 1, 2007 and through the Renewal Term; and

WHEREAS, in connection with Tenant’s exercises of the Options to Lease described herein and Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option, Landlord is willing to provide Tenant with the right, but not the obligation, to extend the term of the Lease for a second additional five (5) year term (the “Second Renewal Term”);
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, of the rents reserved and to be paid by Tenant to Landlord, and of the additional mutual covenants of the parties, the parties hereby agree to amend the Lease as follows:
1. | The Lease is amended by: |
A. | Deleting Exhibit A of the Lease, as amended, and substituting in lieu thereof the attached Exhibit A, describing the Demised Premises. |
B. | Deleting Exhibit A-2 (“One Technology Place First Level Floor Plan”) and substituting in lieu thereof the attached Exhibit A-2, which reflects modifications to the first and second pages only. In particular, the new first page of such Exhibit shows the allocation of additional pro rata parking spaces based upon the additional occupancy by Tenant upon execution of this Amendment. |
C. | Revising the caption of paragraph 2 of the Lease to read: “INITIAL TERM, OPTIONS TO RENEW, RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ON ADDITIONAL SPACE.” |
D. | Deleting paragraph 2.2 of the Lease and substituting in lieu thereof the following paragraph 2.2: |
“2.2 Renewal Rights. So long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant has the right, but not the obligation, to extend the term of this Lease (a “Renewal Option”) under the same terms and conditions for an additional five (5) year term (the “Renewal Term”) and, if the Renewal Option for the Renewal Term is exercised, for a second additional five (5) year term (the “Second Renewal Term”). Tenant must exercise its right for (i) the Renewal Term by written notice to Landlord given on or before the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term and (ii) the Second Renewal Term by written notice to Landlord given on or before the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Renewal Term. If Tenant does not exercise its right to extend in a timely manner, Tenant will have irretrievably lost its right to extend the term of this Lease. Rental payments applicable for the Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, in each case if exercised, shall be as set forth in paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2. Any extension of this Lease beyond the Second Renewal Term (if exercised) shall be upon the terms and conditions mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, and unless such agreement is reached, this Lease shall expire.”

E. | Deleting paragraph 2.4 of the Lease and its subparagraphs and Exhibit C, and substituting in lieu thereof the following. |
“2.4 Except as otherwise provided in this subparagraph, Tenant shall have the unilateral right to terminate this Lease (“Termination Right”) at any time after July 31, 2010 and upon payment as required by paragraph 6.2.2 of the Lease. In order to exercise the Termination Right, Tenant shall provide Landlord with not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice. Provided, however, Tenant shall have waived its Termination Right in each of the following circumstance and for the period stated upon Tenant’s request pursuant to paragraph 6.1 to require Landlord to provide Tenant an allowance for redecorating or for upfitting of the Demised Premises, and continuing for the remainder of the Renewal Term.”

If the Lease terminates upon expiration of the Renewal Term, the amount payable to Landlord will be $674,903.49, provided that all installments of Rent have been timely paid.
