5. TERMINATION OPTION AS TO SUITE 1150: Effective on any date after the twelve month anniversary of the Suite 1150 Addition Date and with three months prior written notice to the Landlord, Tenant may terminate the lease of Suite 1150 and thereby delete it from the Premises as of the date specified in such notice (the “Suite 1150 Early Termination Date”), provided that such deletion shall be contingent on Tenant paying, at the time of giving such notice, the Unamortized Amount (defined below) that

 


will exist on the Suite 1150 Early Termination Date. If Tenant elects to exercise this deletion option, it shall return Suite 1150 to Landlord on Suite 1150 Early Termination Date in the condition required under the Lease for surrender of Premises upon termination of the Lease. From and after the Suite 1150 Early Termination Date, the amendments to the Lease set forth in Section 3 above shall no longer be effective and those terms of the Lease shall, from and after such date, revert to the terms set forth in the Initial Lease. The “Unamortized Amount” shall mean amount remaining as “principal balance” if you take the sum of Ten Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty- Four and 95/100 dollars ($10,784.95) on the Suite 1150 Addition Date and amortize it in equal monthly payments over 25 months with interest at ten percent (10%) per annum.
