(“Harvard”) succeeded to the interest of Original Lessor under the Indenture and with Original Lessee entered into a Second Amendment to Lease dated May 8, 1998 and a Third Amendment to Lease effective as of October 1, 2002 (the Indenture as so amended, the “Original Lease”); and

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease as hereinafter provided.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

2. Premises. Effective as of March 31, 2006 the Premises shall be expanded to include an area (“Suite 450”) consisting of approximately 7,623 rentable square feet, shown on Exhibit 1 attached hereto.

3. Base Rent. Base Rent shall be increased as follows, commencing on the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which Tenant shall take possession of Suite 450 for any purpose other than performance of improvements thereto, including installation of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment including its work stations, wiring and cabling or (ii) June 15, 2006 (such earlier date being the “New Rent Start Date”):

If the New Rent Start Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the additional Base Rent for such month (and for each anniversary thereof) shall be pro-rated to account for both rental rates applicable during such months.

4. Tenant’s Share. Effective as of the New Rent Start Date, Tenant’s Share shall increase to 44.73%.

Within thirty (30) days following receipt by Landlord of paid invoices for the Work from Tenant’s contractor(s) and lien waivers from such contractors, and provided all of the Work for which such Improvement Allowance may be applied shall have been completed in accordance with the Lease and Tenant shall have obtained and delivered to Landlord any certificate of occupancy or other governmental permit or approval necessary for occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof as a result of the performance of the Work and there shall then exist no default of Tenant, Landlord shall remit to Tenant that amount (the “Improvement Allowance”) being the lesser of the cost of the Work shown by such invoices or $53,361.00; provided, however, that any portion of the Improvement Allowance for which Tenant has not made requisition by December 31, 2006 shall be forfeited. Landlord shall, on or about the date of payment of the Improvement Allowance, provide initial air temperature and volume balancing of the air-conditioning equipment serving Suite 450. Landlord hereby gives Tenant approval to perform the work described in the space plan attached hereto. Tenant shall cause such work to be performed in compliance with the Lease by a contractor selected by Tenant but subject to approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6. Brokers. Tenant warrants and represents that it has dealt with no broker in connection with the consummation of this Amendment other than CB Richard Ellis and Bluestone Partners (collectively, the “Brokers”), and in the event of any brokerage claims or liens against Landlord or the Building predicated upon or arising out of prior dealings of Tenant other than with the Brokers, Tenant agrees to defend the same and indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against any such claim, and to discharge any such lien. Landlord shall pay the Brokers any fee or commission owed to them by reason hereof pursuant to one or more separate agreements.

7. Exculpation. Tenant acknowledges that the Declaration of Trust of Hub Properties Trust provides, and Tenant agrees, that no trustee, officer, director, general or limited partner, member, shareholder, beneficiary, employee or agent (including any person or entity from time to time engaged to supervise and/or manage the operation of Landlord) shall be held to
