Tenant accepts the Existing Premises in its “as-is” condition, without representation or warranty from Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any allowances, credits, options, or other concessions with respect to the Existing Premises, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Amendment and the Lease as amended hereby. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant has notified Landlord of its intent to develop and construct the Building Expansion upon the Existing Premises, subject and pursuant to Section 3.4(b) of the Lease.
