B.Tenant has requested that additional space containing approximately 5,781 rentable square feet described as Suite No. 2150 on the 21st floor of the Building shown on Exhibit A hereto (the “Expansion Space”) be added to the Original Premises and that the Lease be appropriately amended and Landlord is willing to do the same on the following terms and conditions.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals which by this reference are incorporated herein, the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

 

1.Expansion and Effective Date.

 

 1.01.Effective as of August 1, 2004 (the “Expansion Effective Date”), the Premises, as defined in the Lease, is increased from 9,569 rentable square feet on the 21st floor(s) to 15,350 rentable square feet on the 21st floor by the addition of the Expansion Space, and from and after the Expansion Effective Date, the Original Premises and the Expansion Space, collectively, shall be deemed the Premises, as defined in the Lease. The Term for the Expansion Space shall commence on the Expansion Effective Date and end on the Termination Date. The Expansion Space is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Lease except as expressly modified herein and except that Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any allowances, abatements or other financial concessions granted with respect to the Original Premises unless such concessions are expressly provided for herein with respect to the Expansion Space.

 

 1.02.The Expansion Effective Date shall be delayed to the extent that Landlord fails to deliver possession of the Expansion Space for any reason, including but not limited to, holding over by prior occupants. Any such delay in the Expansion Effective Date shall not subject Landlord to any liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom. If the Expansion Effective Date is delayed, the Termination Date under the Lease shall not be similarly extended.

However, except for the cost of services requested by Tenant (e.g. freight elevator usage), Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent for the Expansion Space for any days of possession before the Expansion Effective Date during which Tenant, with the approval of Landlord, is in possession of the Expansion Space for the sole purpose of performing improvements or installing furniture, equipment or other personal property.
