C. Landlord shall not be obligated to make, and Tenant shall not be authorized to make, any additional improvements or alterations to the Expansion Premises or the Original Premises except as contemplated in this Amendment or as provided in, and in accordance with, the Lease.

D. For the purposes of the Lease, as modified by this Amendment, with respect to the Expansion Premises, references to “Landlord’s Work” in the Lease shall mean the Landlord’s Work performed for the Expansion Premises pursuant to the terms of this Section 10 of this Amendment.
