The New Premises Commencement Date shall be August 1, 2006.

Upon the completion of “Tenant’s West Wing Premises  Improvements” (as such term is defined herein) and the “Connecting Walkway Bridge Work” (as such term is defined herein), Landlord’s architect and Tenant’s architect shall mutually confirm and/or determine the rentable square footage of the West Wing Premises and the Connecting Walkway Bridge Premises and shall notify Landlord and Tenant in writing of the determination of the rentable square footage for both of such spaces, which determination shall be conclusive on the parties and which determination shall be used to calculate the actual Base Rent and Tenant’s Percentage Share for the West Wing Premises (which, for such purposes of calculating such percentage, shall be deemed to include the Connecting Walkway Bridge Premises) and the new Tenant’s Percentage for the Project, each as referenced in Section 10(ii) of this Amendment.

Upon request by either party, the non-requesting party and the requesting party shall execute a Commencement Date Agreement whereby the parties shall confirm the rentable square footage of the West Wing Premises and

Landlord shall not be deemed unreasonable, however, for withholding approval of any alterations or additions which (a) involve or might affect any structural or exterior element of the Building, or (b) will materially delay or interfere with completion of Landlord’s Work, or

4




(c) will require unusual expense to readapt the Premises to normal office use on Lease termination or increase the cost of construction or of insurance or taxes on the Building or the Project or of the Landlord’s services called for under the Lease. All of Tenant’s alterations, additions and improvements and installation and delivery of telephone and computer systems, furnishings, and equipment for the West Wing Premises shall be coordinated with any work being performed by Landlord and shall be performed in such manner, and by such persons, as shall maintain harmonious labor relations and not to cause any damage to the Building or interfere with other Building construction or operations. Before Tenant’s West Wing Premises Improvements are commenced, Tenant shall:  secure all licenses and permits necessary therefor; deliver to Landlord a statement of the names of all its contractors and subcontractors (the identity of which must have been previously approved by Landlord) and cause each contractor to carry (i) workmen’s compensation insurance in statutory amounts covering all the contractor’s and subcontractor’s employees and (ii) commercial general liability insurance with such limits as Landlord may reasonably require, but in no event less than a combined single limit of $3,000,000 for the general contractor (and not less than $1,000,000 for each subcontractor), (all such insurance to be written in companies approved by Landlord and insuring Landlord, Tenant and the contractors), and to deliver to Landlord certificates of all such insurance. Tenant agrees to pay promptly when due, and to defend and indemnify Landlord from and against, the entire cost of any work done on the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, or independent contractors, and not to cause or permit any liens for labor or materials performed or furnished in connection therewith to attach to the Premises or the Building or the Project and immediately to discharge any such liens which may so attach.

Landlord shall provide Tenant with a tenant improvement allowance in an amount up to the aggregate amount of $533,520.00 (i.e., $15.00 per square foot of the West Wing Premises, not including the Connecting Walkway Bridge Premises) (the “West Wing Premises Allowance”) to reimburse Tenant for the costs incurred by Tenant in performing Tenant’s West Wing Premises Improvements and the cost of preparing the West Wing Premises Tenant Improvement Plans (collectively, such costs incurred by Tenant shall be referred to herein as “Tenant’s West Wing Premises Improvements Costs”).

Within thirty (30) days after the later of (i) the New Premises Commencement Date and (ii) the date on which Tenant shall have completed Tenant’s West Wing Premises Improvements and shall have taken occupancy of the West Wing Premises, Landlord shall pay the applicable amount of the West Wing Premises Allowance to Tenant in one simple disbursement; provided that, prior to such payment by Landlord, Tenant shall submit to Landlord (a) a written requisition with copies of invoices (marked “paid”) supporting Tenant’s West Wing Premises Improvements Costs sought to be reimbursed (up to the aggregate amount of the West Wing Premises Allowance), (b) lien waivers from Tenant’s

In the event that Landlord fails to obtain such written consent by Landlord’s mortgagee within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall have the right to rescind its execution of this Amendment and thereby render this Amendment null and void, by written notice provided to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period.

25.            Landlord’s Operation of Cafeteria for Project. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to operate in the Building, at Landlord’s sole discretion, a breakfast and lunch cafeteria for employees and invitees of the Project selling bagels, donuts, yogurt, fruit, coffee, and cereal and like items for breakfast, and sandwiches, salads, snack and like items, including soft-drink beverages, for lunch. In the event Landlord elects to install and operate a cafeteria within either the East or West Wings, and in the event that the cafeteria operates at an annual deficit, then Tenant agrees to contribute, on an annual basis, the lesser of (i) the annual deficit for which Landlord is responsible to the cafeteria

operator multiplied by Tenant’s Project Percentage of 28.31% or (ii) $10,000 (such lesser amount each year shall be referred to herein as the “Annual Deficit Amount”).   Landlord shall conduct the billing for the Annual Deficit Amount (if any) to Tenant one time each year during the Term, and such amount shall be due from Tenant, as additional rent, within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s billing therefor. If Landlord chooses to operate a cafeteria, Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, to select a third party to operate the same. Landlord shall be under no obligation to operate such cafeteria, and Landlord shall have the right to discontinue, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Tenant (the “Cafeteria Termination Notice”), the operation of such cafeteria at any time for any reason without recourse or liability to Tenant or the other tenants of the Project. If, however, Landlord notifies Tenant, at the time that Landlord delivers the Cafeteria Termination Notice, that the sole reason for delivering the Cafeteria Termination Notice was that the Annual Deficit Amount has either exceeded, or was projected to exceed, $10,000, Tenant shall have the right to discuss with Landlord during the thirty (30) day period after Landlord’s delivery of the Landlord’s Cafeteria Notice the possibility of Tenant accepting a larger annual financial obligation for the Annual Deficit Amount than $10,000. In the event, however, that the parties fail to enter into a written agreement (which neither party shall be obligated to enter into) regarding such larger financial contribution by Tenant prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period, the Cafeteria Termination Notice shall remain effective and shall serve to terminate Landlord’s obligation to operate the cafeteria as of the end of such thirty (30) day period.
