TERMS

NOW THEREFORE, for Ten Dollars ($10.00) and for the covenants and conditions of this Amendment, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

2. Terms. All capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Lease.

3. HVAC. Effective as of the Effective Date, the single paragraph set forth in Section 3.1(i) of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(i) If Tenant requires heating, ventilating and air conditioning within Building 10 during periods in excess of the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturday, excluding


legal holidays (the “Building Operating Hours”), Landlord shall bill Tenant for the number of hours used as Tenant’s Additional Rental at an initial rate equal to $41.00 per hour per floor (“HVAC Fee”), subject to increase from time to time in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, to provide such services taking into account electrical consumption, wear and tear on equipment and systems, labor and administrative costs. If Tenant requires heating, ventilating and air conditioning within the Building 11 during periods in excess of the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, excluding legal holidays (the “Building 11 HVAC Hours”), Landlord shall bill Tenant for the HVAC Fee, subject to increase from time to time in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, to provide such services, taking into account electrical consumption, wear and tear on equipment and systems, labor and administrative costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Building 11 is fully and entirely leased by Tenant (and not subject to any sublease or assignment by Tenant) and Tenant is paying all cost of all utilities servicing Building 11 as part of Operating Costs since Tenant’s Percentage Share is 100% as to Building 11, the HVAC Fee with respect to Building 11 only shall be reduced to an initial rate equal to $19.00 per hour per floor. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein except as set forth in the last sentence of this paragraph, Tenant shall be permitted to request and receive, during each calendar week, HVAC service for Building 11 in excess of Building 11 HVAC Hours for a period of up to five (5) hours per floor without incurring an HVAC Fee per floor (each, an “HVAC Fee Abatement”). For clarification, Tenant shall pay, subject to any applicable HVAC Fee Abatement, an HVAC Fee with respect to requested HVAC service provided in Building 11 on a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday. Any request by Tenant for HVAC service shall be for not less than one (1) hour increments. Tenant recognizes and agrees that Landlord’s HVAC system is not designed to cool the air to comply with requirements of heavy machinery or other than normal office equipment in the Leased Premises. Any and all costs to acquire, maintain, and replace any supplemental air conditioning equipment shall be the sole obligation of Tenant. To request after-hour HVAC, Tenant shall contact the on-site Property Management office with commercially reasonable advance written notice as determined by Landlord (but in no event less than two (2) business days prior to the date of requested HVAC service). In the event Tenant fails to provide the requisite advance written notice, Landlord may refuse to provide HVAC service for such requested period in excess of Building Operating Hours or Building 11 HVAC Hours (as applicable); provided, however, if, in such circumstance Landlord, in its sole discretion, provides HVAC service for such requested period in excess of Building Operating Hours or Building 11 HVAC Hours (as applicable), Tenant shall be required to pay the HVAC Fee and any HVAC Fee Abatement shall not be applicable.”
