The Base Rent per rentable square foot for the Expansion Space of 3,067 rentable square feet shall be at the annual rate of $19.00 for months 1 through 7; $20.00 per rentable square foot for months 8-19; $21.00 per rentable square foot for months 20-31; $22.00 per rentable square foot for months 32-43 and $23.00 per rentable square foot for months 44-75. The rent for the Existing Space shall remain as is directed in the Office Lease and earlier amendment for the full seventy-five (75) months.

The “base year” for calculating Lessee’s proportionate share of Comparison Year Costs (if any) with respect to the Expansion Space shall be the calendar year 2007 and Lessee shall have no obligation to pay its proportionate share of Operating Services and Real Estate Taxes with respect to the Expansion Space until 13 months after the Expansion Space Effective Date. The provision of Section 10 of the Lease shall apply with respect to the Expansion Space provided however that references therein to 2004 shall be deemed references to 2007 with respect to the Expansion Space. The base year for the Existing Space shall remain as is directed in the Office Lease and earlier amendment.

AS-IS, WHERE-IS

Lessee acknowledges Lessee has fully inspected the Expansion Space and, subject to the delivery requirement set forth above, accepts the Expansion Space as-is. Lessee shall not call upon Lessor to provide any modifications or improvements to the Expansion Space.

PARKING

Effective as of the Expansion Space Effective Date, Lessee shall have the right to lease three (3) additional parking spaces inside the building garage at the market rate.

PERMITTED ALTERATIONS

Lessee may construct tenant improvements in the Expansion Space generally consistent with Lessee’s other space and with Lessor’s prior approval of drawings and Lessee’s contractor.

TERMINATION OPTION

In the event Lessee leases additional space above the 1st floor of the Fourth and Battery Building of a square footage and rental rate greater than that of the 1st floor Expansion Space then Lessee may cancel its lease only of the 1st floor Expansion Space with 30 days prior notice to Lessor.
