6. Minimum Rent Abatement.

Tenant acknowledges that the Abatement does not pertain to the additional charges and that Tenant shall be responsible for its pro rata share of Real Estate Taxes, Common Facilities Costs and


Insurance as set forth in the Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Abatement is expressly conditioned upon Tenant remaining free of default under the Lease (after written notice from Landlord and beyond any applicable cure period), for the entire Lease Term. Upon the occurrence of an event of default on the part of Tenant which is uncured beyond any applicable cure period, Landlord may rescind the Abatement, and promptly upon demand by Landlord Tenant shall pay as rent hereunder, the full amount of the Abatement.

7. Security Deposit. Landlord hereby acknowledges that it currently holds Thirty Three Thousand Four Hundred Seventy and 63/100 Dollars ($33,470.63) previously paid by Tenant as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord an additional security deposit of Fourteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($14,500.00) contemporaneously with its execution of this Third Amendment.

8. Additional Charges. Tenant currently pays its proportionate share of Real Estate Taxes, Common Facilities Costs and Insurance pursuant to the Lease. Effective May 1, 2004, Tenant’s proportionate share shall be increased to 118,273/310,000, or 38.2%.

9. Parking. Tenant shall have the use of one hundred twenty five (125) parking spaces, as marked on Third Amendment Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof.

11. Financial Statements. From time to time Landlord may request, and Tenant hereby agrees to provide, within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such request, the financial statements of Tenant. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that all financial statements delivered to Landlord are or will be (if delivered in the future) true and accurate in all material respects. If Tenant shall deliver to Landlord any such financial statements which are materially inaccurate, then such delivery shall be deemed to be a default under the Lease.

12. Access to Overhead Door. Tenant shall have drive in access to one (1) overhead door in the Third Amendment Expansion Premises.

13. General. Except as otherwise expressly amended herein, all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Lease and there terms of this Third Amendment, the terms of this Third Amendment shall control. All undefined capitalized terms contained herein shall have the definitions assigned to them in the Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree and intend that (a) the Lease constitutes a contract under seal, and (b) the twelve (12) year statute of limitations period under Section 5-102 of the Courts & Judicial Proceedings Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland (“Courts Article”) shall govern the limitations period under the Lease rather than the three (3) year limitations period under Section 5-101 of the Courts Article.
