NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of  which are mutually acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.             Lease of Additional Space.  In consideration of the payment of the rent hereinafter provided, and the keeping and performance of each of the covenants and agreements of the Tenant, hereinafter set forth, Landlord has and does hereby lease unto the Tenant the additional space located on the 6^th floor of the building consisting of 10,608 rentable square feet (the “Expanded Premises”) for a total of 67,279 rentable square feet.  The lease of the Expanded Premises shall commence upon the vacation of the current tenant (Icenogle, Norton, Smith, Blieszner & Gilida, PC) which shall be no later than June 1, 2008.  The Landlord shall deliver thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Tenant of the vacation of the current tenant.  In this Agreement, the term “Premises” shall mean the Original Premises and the Expanded Premises.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Expanded Premises is delivered to Tenant on any day of the month other than the first day of the month, the monthly Base Rent shall be pro-rated accordingly.

4.             Tenant’s Share Adjustment.  Article 1, Paragraph F shall be amended to reflect that the Tenant’s Share shall be deemed to be sixty-three and 33/100 percent (63.33%), subject to Articles 3 and 30.

6.             Option to Renew.  Article 33 of the Lease shall be amended to reflect that  the option to renew shall be exercised by the Tenant no earlier than 450 days and no later than 365 days prior to the expiration of the Extended Term. All other terms and conditions of Article 33 shall remain unchanged.

7.             Availability of Additional Rental Space.  Article 34 of the Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following paragraph:

During the term of this Lease, provided that Tenant has not been in default of this Lease, in the event that any additional space in the Building becomes available due to (i) a tenant moving out or (ii) such lease being terminated or having expired (the “Available Space”), Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of the same and Tenant shall have thirty (30) days in which to exercise this option by delivering written notice to Landlord, failing which this option to expand for the Available Space which was offered shall automatically terminate and Landlord shall be able to lease the offered Available Space on terms acceptable to the Landlord in the Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.  The amount of minimum rent to be paid for the Available Space shall be at the same rate per square foot currently being paid by the Tenant for the existing Premises at the time of possession of the additional space.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be allowed to exercise the rights contained in this paragraph if Tenant is  in the last year of the Extended Term unless Tenant exercises its option to renew; and

provided further, if Tenant has exercised its option to renew and is in the last year of the option period, Tenant shall be required to extend the term of this Lease at then prevailing market rates as a condition of exercising the rights contained in this paragraph.

8.             Incorporation of Lease Provisions.  All of the terms and conditions of the Lease which have not been modified in this Agreement shall apply to the Lease of the Conference Rooms with the same force and effect as if set forth herein in full.  All capitalized terms shall have the meaning set forth in the Lease unless separately defined in this Agreement.  If any portion of this Agreement is in conflict with the terms and conditions of the Lease, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
