Gentlemen:

The above-referenced Prime Lease term will expire on November 30, 2009 (“Prime Lease Expiration Date”).   The Premises are currently occupied by Bridgepoint Education, Inc.  (“Subtenant”) pursuant to a sublease dated October 31, 2007  (“Sublease”), which Sublease will expire on October 31, 2009.  Tenant has been informed and Landlord hereby acknowledges that Landlord and Subtenant have entered into a direct lease for the Premises whereby Subtenant shall remain in the Premises after the expiration of the Sublease term.

To the extent Tenant performs its other obligations under the Prime Lease, Landlord agrees to accept the Premises (Suite 160) in its AS-IS condition from Tenant upon expiration of the Prime Lease, with Subtenant in possession of the Premises, and hereby  waives any Tenant restoration or holdover obligations under the Prime Lease with regard to the Premises  (Suite 160), including, without limitation, obligations contained in Article 15 of the Prime Lease. 

Similarly, as subtenant is scheduled to continue to occupy such Premises following the Prime Lease Expiration Date pursuant to the terms of that certain direct lease dated January 31, 2008 (the “13500 Lease”), notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in such 13500 Lease, Subtenant hereby waives with regard to the Premises only, its right to require Landlord to remedy any punchlist items provided to Landlord (i.,e., as more particularly contemplated by the terms of Section 1.1.1 of the 13500 Lease).

Upon expiration of the Prime Lease term on the Prime Lease Expiration Date, Tenant shall have no further obligations thereunder.

Tenant and Subtenant agree that the term of the Sublease shall be extended for one (1) month beginning November 1, 2009 and ending November 30, 2009 on all the terms and conditions of the Sublease.  Landlord consents to the foregoing extension of the Sublease term.

By executing this agreement where indicated below, each party hereto agrees to the terms and conditions set forth above.  Please sign all three (3) originals of this agreement in the spaces provided below to confirm Landlord’s and Subtenant’s agreement to the foregoing, return one fully executed original to Tenant for its records, and retain the other originals for Landlord’s and Subtenant’s records.

This agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which may be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement
