Any such Landlord Development will be subject to compliance with applicable governmental laws, regulations, rules, ordinances and codes (including but not limited to applicable parking

requirements), as well as applicable restrictive covenants and architectural controls, including but limited to those imposed by the Master Declaration. The site plan for any such Landlord Development, as well any corresponding declarations of covenants, conditions, easements and/or restrictions, shall be subject to Tenant’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (acknowledging, for avoidance of doubt, that in recognition of Tenant’s rights, interests and options under this Lease and the Existing Building Lease, Tenant does have an interest in assuring that any declarations of covenants, conditions, easements and/or restrictions are fair and reasonable). It is understood that if approval of Landlord Development constituting only subdivision shall be accomplished prior to Landlord Development consisting of construction on the same subdivided parcel, such construction shall be a separate incident of Landlord Development, subject to Tenant’s prior written approval. If within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s written request Tenant fails to either approve plans for a Landlord Development or notify Landlord in writing with specificity of Tenant’s good faith and reasonable objections thereto, Tenant shall conclusively be deemed to have approved the Landlord Development. Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to such amendments as Landlord may reasonably request to this Lease (and any recorded memorandum of this Lease) to reflect changes in the definition of Property and similar changes necessary in connection with a Landlord Development.
11.Corrective Amendments.
a.Throughout the Lease, each instance of “Basic Annual Rent” is hereby replaced with “Basic Rent”. In Section 5.04 of the Lease, the phrase “Annual Basic Rental” is hereby replaced with “Basic Rent”.
b.In section 5.02(A) of the Lease, the phrase “proportionate Share” is hereby replaced with “Proportionate Share”.
c.In Section 1 of Exhibit B to the Lease, the phrase” escalations to escalations to” is hereby replaced with “escalations to”.

13.Authority. Each of Landlord and Tenant represents and warrants to the other that the individual executing this Amendment on such party’s behalf is authorized to do so.
14.Miscellaneous. The recitals to this Amendment are incorporated into the body of this Amendment by reference. Except as modified by this Amendment, all of Landlord's and Tenant's other rights, obligations and covenants with respect to the Lease shall remain in full force and effect. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one document. To facilitate execution of this Amendment, the parties hereto may execute and exchange, by telephone facsimile or electronic mail PDF, counterparts of the signature pages. Signature pages may be detached from the counterparts and attached to a single copy of this Amendment to physically form one document. In the event any term or provision of this Amendment is determined by appropriate judicial authority to be illegal or otherwise invalid, such provision shall be given its nearest legal meaning or be construed or deleted as such authority determines, and the remainder of this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect.
