There have been no additional oral or written representations or agreements between the parties.  Under no circumstances shall Sublessee be entitled to any Rent abatement, improvement allowance, leasehold improvements, or other work to the Premises, or any similar economic incentives that may have been provided to Sublessor in connection with entering into the Master Lease, unless specifically set forth in the Existing Sublease or this First Amendment.
