(c) Invalid Provisions. If any provision hereof is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term hereof such provision shall be fully severable; this First Amendment shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof and the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, the parties hereto agree to add as a part hereof a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable and which preserves the same economic benefits to the parties hereto.

(d) Multiple Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes and all of which constitute, collectively, one agreement; but, in making proof of this First Amendment, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

TENANT IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT

1. Tenant will be responsible for all improvements to be made to the Leased Premises, including painting and carpeting (the “Tenant Improvements”). Prior to undertaking any of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall receive Landlord’s approval of the plans specifications of the Tenant Improvements (including the defined scope of work and quality and color of materials), which plans and specifications, following Landlord’s approval thereof, are herein called the “Plans”. Subject to the provisions of this Exhibit “B”, Landlord will provide to Tenant a construction allowance (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”) not to exceed $175,000.00 to be used toward the payment of the “Total Construction Costs” (as hereinafter defined) relating to the Tenant Improvements. The entire cost of constructing the Tenant Improvements (including, without limitation, design of the Tenant Improvements and preparation of the Plans, any building permit fees or other governmental fees or charges, costs of construction labor and materials, electrical usage during construction, additional janitorial services, general tenant signage, the construction supervision fee referenced in Section 5 below, related taxes and insurance costs, all of which costs are herein collectively called the “Total Construction Costs”) in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be paid by Tenant. Upon payment of the Total Construction Costs, any remaining balance of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be deemed forfeited, to be retained by Landlord, with no further obligation by Landlord with respect thereto.

2. The Tenant Improvements shall be performed only by contractors and subcontractors approved in writing by Landlord, such approval to be based on reasonable factors, including but not limited to: references, financial stability, and ability to build space in keeping with the aesthetic and quality of the Project. All contractors and subcontractors shall be required to procure and maintain insurance against such risks, in such amounts, and with such companies as Landlord may reasonably require. Certificates of such insurance, with paid receipts therefor, must be received by Landlord before the Tenant Improvements is commenced. The Tenant Improvements shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the Plans approved by Landlord. All contractors and subcontractors shall contact Landlord and schedule time periods during which they may use Building facilities in connection with the Tenant Improvements.

3. Tenant shall provide Landlord no more frequently than once per calendar month an invoice prepared by Tenant’s contractor on an AIA payment request form [G702] or such other form as Landlord may approve (“Invoice”) setting forth the Total Construction Costs payable since the last such Invoice, which Invoice shall be accompanied by (a) copies of all invoices from subcontractors setting forth all amounts comprising the Total Construction Costs for which payment is being requested in the Invoice, (b) receipts from such subcontractors acknowledging payment of the Total Construction Costs set forth in prior Invoices, and (c) original lien releases and waivers, in Landlord’s and Tenant’s favor, from Tenant’s contractor and all subcontractor’s and materialmen (such releases and waivers shall be conditional with respect to the Total Construction Costs set forth in the Invoice which they are accompanying and unconditional with respect to the Total Construction Costs set forth on prior Invoices). Landlord shall pay ninety percent (90%) of the requested Total Construction Costs to Tenant’s contractor within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Invoice and shall retain ten percent (10%) of the requested amount as retainage. Landlord shall hold all retainage until completion of the Tenant Improvements, and shall disburse all retainage thirty (30) days after completion of the Tenant Improvements. The Tenant Improvements shall be deemed not to have been completed until Landlord is furnished such certificates and other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the Tenant Improvements have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the Plans and all applicable laws. The Tenant Improvement Allowance

must be used (that is, the Tenant Improvements must be fully complete and the Tenant Improvement Allowance disbursed) by no later than December 31, 2011, or shall be deemed forfeited with no further obligation by Landlord with respect thereto, time being of the essence with respect thereto.

4. After the Plans have been approved, Tenant shall cause the Tenant Improvements to be completed in accordance with the Plans. Tenant shall engage only such contractor and subcontractors as Landlord has approved. All changes in the Tenant Improvements from the Plans, whether or not such change gives rise to a “Lease Change Cost” (as hereinafter defined), must be evidenced by a written “Lease Change Order” (so called herein) executed by both Landlord and Tenant. In that regard, with respect to any Lease Change Order requested by Tenant, Tenant shall submit to Landlord such information as Landlord may reasonably request. After receipt of the requested Lease Change Order, together with such information as Landlord may request with respect thereto, Landlord shall return to Tenant either the executed Lease Change Order, which will evidence Landlord’s approval thereof, or Landlord’s suggested modifications thereto. If any Lease Change Order is not ultimately effected, Tenant will reimburse Landlord for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred, including but not limited to, architectural and engineering fees. For the purposes hereof, the term “Lease Change Cost” shall mean all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord attributable to any Lease Change Order requested by Tenant.

5. Landlord or its affiliate shall supervise the Tenant Improvements, in consideration for which Tenant shall pay to Landlord a construction supervision fee equal to two-and-one-half percent (2.5%) of the Total Construction Costs (including any Lease Change Costs), which amount Landlord may retain from the Tenant Improvement Allowance from each advance thereof.
