to Lease dated February 26, 2004, as modified by Letter Amendment dated March

WHEREAS,
the parties hereto desire to
extend the term of the Lease and to amend the Lease in certain other

THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, the Lease is hereby further
amended as follows:
1. Extended

3. Work. Landlord
shall repaint the walls of the Premises. The cost to repaint the
Premises is $7,000.00. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay ½ of the
cost, or $3,500.00; provided, however, that if Tenant fails to exercise its
option to extend the term of the Lease for the second year (for clarity,
03/22/09 – 03/21/10) then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its share of the
repainting cost, or $3,500.00.
4. Extended
Term. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term for all of
the Premises for two (2) extension terms of one (1) year each ("Extended Term")
which shall commence on the day following the expiration of the initial Term
and
end on the first anniversary of the Expiration Date or the expiration date
of
the first Extended Term, as the case may be, unless the Extended Term shall
sooner terminate pursuant to any of the terms of this Lease or
otherwise. Each Extended Term shall commence only if Tenant shall
have notified Landlord in writing of Tenant's exercise of such extension right
not later than four and a half (4½) months prior to the Expiration Date of the
initial Term or the first Extended Term, as the case may be, and at the time
of
the exercise of such right and immediately prior to the then Expiration Date,
this Lease is in full force and effect and no Default shall have occurred and
be
continuing hereunder. Time is of the essence with respect to the
giving of the notice of Tenant's exercise of the extension
right. Each Extended Term shall be upon all of the agreements, terms,
covenants and conditions hereof binding upon Tenant, except that (a) the
Extended Base Rent shall be as provided in the Schedule of Significant Terms,
(b) Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work or make any
contribution to work performed to prepare the Premises for Tenant's use, and
(c)
Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term, other than in accordance
with this Section 4. Upon the exercise of each extension option by
Tenant, (i) the Extended Term shall be added to and become part of the Term
(but
shall not be considered part of the Initial Term), (ii) any reference to "this
Lease", to the "Term", the "term of this Lease" or any similar expression shall
be deemed to include the Extended Term, and (iii) the expiration of each
Extended Term shall become the Expiration Date.
5. Real
Estate Brokers. Tenant represents that it has dealt with, and
only with Van Vlissingen and Co., as broker in connection with this Amendment,
and that, insofar as Tenant knows, no other broker negotiated this Amendment
or
is entitled to any commission in connection therewith. Tenant agrees
to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all damages, liability and expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from any claims or demands of
any
other broker or brokers or finders in connection with its participating with
Tenant in the negotiating of this Amendment.
6. Lease
in Full Force and Effect. Except for the provisions of this
Amendment, all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease and all the
rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant thereunder, shall remain in full
force and effect, and are not otherwise altered, amended, revised or
changed.
7. Estoppel. Tenant
and Landlord hereby each acknowledge that as of the date hereof, they have
no
claims arising under the Lease against the other party or its agents, or any
one
or more of the foregoing, and that neither knows of any default or failure
on
the part of the other party to keep or perform any covenant, condition or
undertaking to be kept or performed by such other party under the
Lease.
8. Exculpatory
Provisions. It is expressly understood and agreed by and between
the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, that each
and all of the representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings and
agreements herein made on the part of the Landlord while in form purporting
to
be the representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings, and agreements
of
the Landlord are nevertheless each and every one of them made and intended,
not
as personal representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings, and agreements
by the Landlord or for the purpose or with the intention of binding the Landlord
personally, but are made and intended for the purpose only of subjecting the
Landlord's interest in the Building, the Land and the Premises to the terms
of
this Amendment and for no other purpose whatsoever, and in case of default
hereunder by the Landlord (or default through, under, or by any of its agents
or
representatives), the Tenant shall look solely to the interests of the Landlord
in the Building and Land.
