As of the date hereof and subject to Section 2.3 below, the Common Areas include the non-exclusive use of Kiva meeting room and loading dock.

2.3 Landlord reserves (a) the right from time to time to make changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs or replacements in or to the Building (including the Demised Premises) and the fixtures and equipment thereof, as well as in or to the street entrances, and other parts of the Building, and to erect, maintain, and use pipes, ducts and conduits in and through the Demised Premises, all as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary or desirable, (b) the right to eliminate, substitute and/or rearrange the Common Areas (which may theretofore have been so designated) as Landlord deems appropriate in its discretion and (c) the right from time to time to construct additional stories onto the Building.
