Exhibit 10.7.1
2.5 Waiver, Release and Indemnification. Landlord shall not provide any security services in connection with Tenant’s use of the Additional Space. Tenant accepts any and all risk of loss, vandalism, theft, injury or property damage resulting from or in connection with Tenant’s use of the Additional Space, and Tenant knowingly and willingly waives any Claims (defined below) against Landlord and/or Landlord Parties in connection with Tenant’s use of the Additional Space, and Tenant releases Landlord and Landlord Parties from any and all Claims, whether direct or indirect, whether known or unknown, and whether arising now or in the future.

Section 1542: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

The failure of Landlord to exercise any right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise such right or remedy in the future or a waiver of any other right or remedy available under the Lease, at law or in equity.
3.3 Incorporation of Lease. Except as expressly stated in this Amendment, all of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Lease shall apply to Tenant’s use of the Additional Space. Except as expressly stated in this Amendment, the Lease remains in full force and effect without modification.
