three hundred eighty four (237,384) dollars per year or $ 19,782 per
month.
3. The base month from which to determine the amount of each annual
increase in the "Cost of Living" shall be * [This is struck out
text] 2006, which figure shall be compared with the figure for
* [This is struck out text] November 2006, and each November
thereafter to determine the percentage increase (if any) in the base
rent to be paid during the following calendar year. *January

is struck out text] by $ 19,782 from $ 60,000 to a new total of $

toward rent due for the month of April 2006.
*Effective April 1, 2006 **decreased
5. The lease, including all terms, conditions, escalations, etc. shall
be automatically extended for additional successive periods of five
(5) year(s) each unless LESSOR or LESSEE shall serve written notice,
either party to the other, of either party's desire not to so extend
the lease. The time for serving such written notice shall be not

or Section 6 of the Lease Extension dated September 16, 2003, the

of rent due under the lease, and not in the event of nonpayment of
any security deposit, taxes, invoice or other charge which may also
be due under the lease. Section 20 and said Section 6 shall
otherwise continue to apply, and in the event of such a default, the
entire rent amount shall be discounted to its net present value as
of the date of LESSOR'S notice of default, using the published prime
rate then in effect.
7. To the extent any inconsistency exists between this lease extension
and the lease, including any prior amendments, the conditions
contained herein shall control and supersede any earlier provisions.
Neither the submission of this lease extension, nor the prospective
acceptance of any increase in the security deposit, shall constitute
a reservation of or option for the leased premises, it being
expressly understood and agreed that this lease extension shall not
bind either party in any manner whatsoever until it has been
executed by both parties.
8. The size of the leased premises is hereby decreased to a new total
of approximately 24,473 square feet of ground level space, with no
mezzanine, with the relinquishment of the hatched area shown on the
mutually agreed upon plan attached hereto (the "Relinquished Area").
9. LESSOR, at a total charge to LESSEE of $124,553 * to be paid upon
LESSEE's execution of this lease extension, shall, during LESSOR's
normal business hours, modify the leased premises in accordance with
the attached plan, including the construction of a full-height
demising wall separating the leased premises from the Relinquished
Area and the separation of the utilities serving the leased premises
from those serving the Relinquished Area, LESSOR shall use
reasonable efforts to substantially complete such modifications,
except for punch list items, before or about December 1, 2005,
however, in the event that LESSEE in any way delays LESSOR's
substantial completion (which shall include without limitation any
additions and/or changes requested by LESSEE to the scope of
LESSOR's work, any delay in LESSEE providing information to LESSOR
for any permits or plans, and any interference by LESSEE or LESSEE's
contractor with LESSOR's work), the time for substantial completion
shall be extended by the length of such delay.
10. LESSEE shall move its furniture, furnishings, equipment, inventory
and other property as requested by LESSOR to enable LESSOR to carry
out the above-described modifications to the leased premises.
11. * LESSOR agrees that all work to be performed by LESSOR as set forth
in the attached plan shall be completed in a good and workerlike
manner.
* 50 % on September 1, 2005, 50% on October 1, 2005 [ILLEGIBLE]

LEASE EXTENSION
(CONTINUED)
12. LESSEE shall vacate the Relinquished Area on or before the effective
date hereof, and any extended occupancy of said facility beyond the
effective date shall be governed by Section 27 of the lease, unless
such extended occupancy is due to a delay in substantial completion
of LESSOR's work that is not caused by LESSEE. LESSEE shall, upon
vacating, be responsible for any damage to said area in accordance
with the lease, and shall promptly pay any just invoice therefor.
Time is of the essence.
13. The parties acknowledge and agree that, as of the execution of this
lease extension, not all of the perimeter walls of the reduced
leased premises have been built. Accordingly, upon completion of the
modifications provided for herein, LESSOR shall carefully measure
the reduced leased premises, and if the size, including common area,
does not equal the number of square feet set forth above, LESSOR
shall notify LESSEE in writing of the actual square footage and the
corresponding increase or decrease in rent, based on the same rate
per square foot used in this lease extension, and said actual square
footage and adjusted rent shall be substituted for the corresponding
figures herein as of the effective date of this lease extension.
14. * As a result of the decrease in the size of the leased premises
provided for above, LESSEE's proportionate share of any increase in
real estate taxes set forth in Section 4 of the lease is hereby
changed to 19.83 percent. In the event of any future changes in the
size of the leased premises, there shall be a further corresponding
adjustment of LESSEE's proportionate share of any increase in real
estate taxes.
15. * During the extended lease term as described above, the base from
which to determine the amount of any increase in real estate taxes
pursuant to Section 4 of the lease is hereby changed to the rate and
the assessment in effect as of July 1, 2005.
16. In consideration of this lease extension, Paragraph S of the Rider
to Lease is hereby deleted and of no further force or effect.
17. As a result of the decrease in size of the leased premises provided
for above, Paragraph L of the Rider to Lease is hereby amended to
reduce the total number of unassigned parking spaces provided for
LESSEE's use to a new total of 100 spaces. All other terms of said
Paragraph L shall continue to apply.
18. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 14 of the lease,
LESSEE, and not LESSOR, shall be responsible for the control of snow
and ice on all walkways, steps and loading areas serving the leased
premises and all other areas not readily accessible to plows.
19. *Prior to the lease termination or any relocation by LESSEE to
another facility of LESSOR, LESSEE may remove telecommunications
equipment supplied and installed by LESSEE, provided LESSEE is not
in arrears of any rent or invoice payments or otherwise in default
of the lease, and has satisfactorily complied with all other terms
and conditions of the lease. LESSEE shall repair any damage
resulting from such removal, restore the leased premises to their
condition prior to the installation of said equipment, and in
accordance with all applicable building and electrical codes and at
LESSOR's option, either remove or label all wiring and cabling
associated with any telecommunications and computer network
equipment. LESSEE must complete all such removal, labeling, repair,
restoration and/or other work prior to the termination or relocation
date. Time is of the essence.
All other terms, conditions and covenants of the lease shall continue to
apply. In Witness Whereof, LESSOR and LESSEE have hereunto set their hands and
common seals this 15th day of July, 2005.
