WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant have entered into that certain Lease dated as of October 21, 2004 pertaining to certain “leased premises” located at 10851 Louisiana Avenue South, Bloomington, Minnesota (together with all amendments and addenda, the “Lease”);

WHEREAS, by virtue of a First Addendum to Lease dated February 23, 2005 (“First Addendum”), Landlord, Tenant, and Guarantor agreed to add additional terms to the Lease;

WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend certain terms of the Lease and the Addendum thereto;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the Lease and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree to amend the Lease as follows:

4. ARTICLE 9 — ALTERATIONS, INSTALLATIONS, FIXTURES. Article 9 of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby amended as follows:

Landlord and Tenant agree that the improvements in existence as of the date of this Amendment are guaranteed to be removed by Tenant upon expiration or termination of the Lease. The improvements to be removed, in addition to the items already enumerated in Article 9, shall include the following:

1. Two offices in southwest corner of warehouse.

5. FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. Except as modified herein, the original terms of the Lease along with any Amendments and/or Addendums thereto shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord, Tenant, and Guarantor have executed this Amendment as of the day and year first above written.
