Suites 404 and 405, 4,872± square feet of Gross Rentable Area, located on the fourth floor of the Building.

The term "Gross Rentable Area" as used herein, shall refer to all area measured from the outside surface of the outer glass or finished walls of the building to the outside surface of the opposite outer wall, glass, or in the case of multi-tenant floors, to the midpoint of the walls separating the Leased Premises of adjacent tenants. The term "Gross Rentable Area" includes a pro rata share of all common areas and facilities of the Building, but not limited to, bathrooms, hallways and service facilities, the rent and expenses of which are to be shared by Tenant proportionately. No deductions from Gross Rentable Area are made for columns or projections necessary to the Building. The Gross Rentable Area in the Leased Premises has been calculated on the basis of the foregoing definition and is hereby stipulated for all purposes hereof to be 4,872± square feet, whether the same should be more or less as a result of minor variations resulting from actual construction and completion of the Leased Premises for occupancy so long as such work is done substantially in accordance with the approved plans.

2. A. TERM: The term of this Lease Agreement on the Leased Premises shall be for a

period of (36) thirty-six months. The Commencement Date of the term shall be

January 1, 2011.Landlord will make all diligent attempts to have space ready. The

rent for partial months shall be prorated. The Term of the Lease shall expire (unless

sooner terminated as provided herein) at 11 :59 p.m. E.D.T. on December 31, 2013.

B. Early Termination:

Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease with a six (6) month notice at any time on or after January 1, 2012 by delivering written notice ("Early Termination Notice") to Landlord its intention to do so.

3. A. Annual Rent: During the term of this Lease, Tenant agrees and covenants to pay

the Landlord Annual Rent as follows:

1/01/11 - 12/31/13: $11.50 per square foot; $56,028.00/year; $4,669.00/month*

*Tenant will pay first month's rent plus CAM as defined in the lease (Section 3C, currently at $8.00 psf) and sales tax (currently at 6.5%) totaling $8,431.61, upon lease execution.

Total Annual Rent per year is payable without demand, notice or offset in advance in equal monthly installments of one-twelfth of the Annual Rent due and payable on the first day of each and every calendar month of the term of the Lease, in the currency of the United States of America at the offices of Landlord or elsewhere as designated from time to time by Landlord's written notice to Tenant.

The Tenant will pay for the electric for the Leased Premises, which shall be separately metered. The Tenant will be responsible to maintain its Leased Premises space (including all water connections, appliances and kitchens).

Landlord does not warrant that any of the services will be free from interruption caused by repairs, renewal, improvement, alterations, strikes, lockouts, accidents, inability of Landlord to obtain fuel or supplies or any other causes. Any such interruption of service shall never be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the premises or any part thereof or render the Landlord liable to the Tenant for damages or relieve the Tenant from performance of the Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Landlord agrees, however, that Landlord will make reasonable efforts at all times to promptly remedy any situation which might interrupt such services.

Tenant's lease signed June 28, 2001 stated that Quentin Partners Co. would assume responsibility for this security deposit of $4,423.84 provided Tenant remained in good standing through December 31, 2005, which was the case. As a courtesy for tenant goodwill, this sum shall be deemed by Landlord as security for the payment by Tenant of the rents and all other payments herein agreed to be paid by Tenant and for the faithful

performance by Tenant of the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Lease. Landlord, at Landlord's option, may at the time of any default by Tenant under any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this Lease apply said sum or any part thereof towards the payment of the rents and all other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease.

Tenant shall remain liable for any amounts that such sum shall be insufficient to pay and shall within three (3) days after demand by Landlord restore the security deposit to the amount originally required hereby.

In the event the deposit shall not be utilized for any such purpose, then such deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant after the expiration of the term of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant any interest on the security deposit.
