Date		Monthly Rent				Yearly Rent				Approximate Rent
										per Square Foot
7/1/05-8/31/05		$	0.00			$	0.00			$	0.00
9/1/05-8/31/06		$8,233.75 per month				$	98,805.00			$	21.00

     5. Excess Tenant Improvements: In the event the Tenant Improvements exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance provided by Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to amortize up to an additional $30,000.00 over the term of the Lease at eight percent (8%) interest rate, Tenant shall be required to make the request at the time the plans are completed and the final costs are submitted to Tenant for approval.

     6. Tenant’s Square Footage: Paragraph 1.1d of the Lease is hereby amended as of the Third Additional Space Commencement Date to increase Tenant’s Square Footage to 4,705 Rentable Square Feet.

     7. Additional Rent. Paragraph 1.1g of the Lease is hereby amended as of the Third Additional Space Commencement Date to reflect; (i) the Third Additional Space which increases Tenant’s Pro Rata Share to 4.00% (4,705 rentable square feet ÷ 117,654 rentable square feet); (ii) the Operating Cost Stop shall be revised to a 2005 Base Year. Beginning on September 1, 2005 and ending on August 31, 2006, Tenant shall not be responsible for and shall not pay Excess Operating Costs for such period. For the 2005 Base Year, in the event the Building is not fully leased during the calendar year, Landlord shall make appropriate adjustments to the Operating Costs, using reasonable projections, to adjust such costs to an amount that would normally be expected to be incurred if the Building were 95% leased, and such adjusted costs shall be used for purposes of paragraph 3.3 of the Lease to establish the Operating Cost Stop for the 2005 Base Year.

     8. Parking. Paragraph 1.1j of the Lease is hereby amended as of the Third Additional Space Commencement Date to increase the Authorized Number of Parking Spaces from 17 to 19.

     9. Option Period: Tenant shall have one option to renew this Lease for five (5) years (the “Option Period”). If Tenant desires to exercise its option for renew, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice (“Renewal Notice”) thereof at least twelve (12) months prior to the scheduled expiration date. During the thirty (30) day period following Landlord’s receipt of the Renewal Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to negotiate a mutually agreeable Base Rent (“Market Base Rent”) for the Option Period. Within fifteen (15) days of agreement by the parties on the Market Base Rent and other terms of the renewal, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease extending this Lease on such terms.

     10. Right of First Offer: If Landlord shall desire to lease any space on the Third floor (3rd) floor of the Building which is contiguous to the Leased Premises (the “ROFO Space”) to a third party other than the existing tenant in any such space, or any other party having any pre-existing rights to the ROFO Space, Landlord shall first give Tenant notice (“Landlord’s ROFO Notice”) of the terms and conditions upon which Landlord is willing to market the ROFO Space. Tenant shall have the right, exercisable by notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord’s ROFO Notice to lease the ROFO Space upon the terms and conditions contained therein. Within fifteen (15) business days thereafter, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment to this Lease reflecting the terms set forth in the Landlord’s ROFO Notice, which Tenant shall in turn execute and deliver back to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such amendment from Landlord. Such amendment shall provide for (a) the addition of the ROFO Space to the Leased Premises, (b) an increase in the Base Rent by an amount equal to that specified in Landlord’s Notice, (c) an increase in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs to reflect the inclusion of the ROFO Space in the Leased Premises, and (d) the terms and conditions and amount of any tenant improvement allowance, if any. In all other respects, the terms and conditions contained in this Lease shall remain unmodified. Time is of the essence in the exercise of Tenant’s rights pursuant to this section. Should Tenant fail to exercise such right, fail to execute and deliver the amendment, or fail to perform any of its required obligations under this section within the time periods set forth above, then Tenant’s rights under this section shall terminate and be null and void, and Landlord shall have the absolute right to lease the ROFO Space to any other person or entity upon substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Landlord’s ROFO Notice. The foregoing option and rights may not be assigned to any party not a Tenant Affiliate or Tenant Agent, and shall be available to and exercisable by the Tenant only when the original Tenant or any Tenant Affiliate or Tenant Agent is in actual possession and physical occupancy of the entire Leased Premises. Tenant’s rights pursuant to this section shall be subject to any existing (as of the date hereof) rights to expand of other tenants in the Building or Project, the right of the current tenant in the ROFO Space to remain in that space, and there having been no Event of Default under the Lease during the Term of the Lease which is continuing at the time of the Landlord’s ROFO Notice. All rights of first offer contained in this section shall expire upon the date which is 24 months prior to the Lease Expiration Date.

     11. Paragraph 5.1 of the Lease is amended by the addition of the following as subparagraph (d) thereof:

     “d. Security Services. Landlord shall provide not less than the following security services (collectively “Security Services”) to the Building, Tenant and Leased Premises: (i) access controlled by electronic security cards for after-hours entry to the Building; (ii) access to Tenant’s floor after regular Building hours shall be restricted by programming of Building elevators to allow access only upon application of an electronic security device or code; and (iii) security guard monitoring after regular Building hours of the adjacent parking lot and checking of interior and exterior doors of the Building and the Leased Premises on a regular basis. Landlord has provided such Security Services prior to the Third Additional Space Commencement Date and such Security Services shall be included in the term “Project Services”.

     12. Landlord has the responsibility to maintain the Building, parking lots and all other public spaces associated with the Leased Premises in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and any and all other statutes, laws, ordinances or regulations relating thereto.
