EXHIBIT A

WORK LETTER

It is the intent of this Work Letter that Tenant shall be permitted freedom in the design and layout of the Premises, consistent with all applicable building and environmental codes and requirements of law, including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act, and with sound architectural and construction practice in first-class office buildings, provided that neither the design nor the implementation of the Tenant's Work shall cause any interference to the operation of the Building's HVAC, mechanical, plumbing, life safety, electrical or other systems or to other Building operations or functions, nor shall they increase the maintenance or utility charges for operating the Building, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined in this Work Letter, shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Lease or the First Amendment, as the case may be.
 
For and in consideration of the First Amendment and the mutual covenants contained herein and in the Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
 
1  .Tenant's Work. Subject to the Landlord's Contribution (described in Paragraph 8 hereof), Tenant, at its cost and expense, shall perform or cause to be performed the work in the Premises, Building and surrounding area provided for in the Plans, as defined in Paragraph 2(c) hereof, (the "Tenant's Work") in accordance with the provisions of this Work Letter and the Generator License Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit B. Tenant's Work shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike fashion, in accordance with the requirements set forth herein and in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and other governmental requirements. Tenant shall commence the construction of Tenant's Work promptly following completion of the preconstruction activities provided for in Paragraph 3 below and shall diligently proceed with all such construction. Tenant shall coordinate Tenant's Work so as avoid unreasonable interference with any other work being performed by or on behalf of Landlord and other tenants at the Building, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.
 
2  .Pre-Approved Activities.
 
(a ) Prior to the execution and delivery of the First Amendment by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant has submitted the following information and items to Landlord for Landlord's review and approval:
 
(i) the names and addresses of Tenant's contractors (and the contractors' subcontractors), including any architects and engineers, to be engaged by Tenant for the Tenant's Work ("Tenant's Contractors"), which have already been submitted to and approved by Landlord; and

(ii) the Plans for the Tenant's Work, which Plans have been approved by Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 3(c) below.

(b ) Tenant shall update such information and items by providing written notice to Landlord of any changes.
 
A-1

(c ) As used herein, the term "Plans" shall mean (i) the plans and specifications prepared by Trident Engineering, Inc. attached hereto as Schedule 1 and incorporated herein, as such plans and specifications may be revised from time to time in accordance with Paragraph 5 below. The Plans have been approved by Landlord, and such approval by Landlord shall in no way be deemed to be a representation or warranty of Landlord that such Plans are adequate for any use or comply with any applicable laws, ordinances or regulations or other governmental requirements; or be deemed to be an acceptance or approval of any element therein contained which is in violation of any applicable laws, ordinances, regulations or other governmental requirements.
 
3. Pre-Construction Activities.
 
(a) No Tenant's Work shall be undertaken or commenced by Tenant in the Premises until:
 
(i) all necessary building permits, governmental approvals, permits and licenses have been obtained by Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense; and

(ii) all required insurance coverages have been obtained by Tenant, but failure of Landlord to receive evidence of such coverage upon commencement of the Tenant's Work shall not waive Tenant's obligations to obtain such coverages.

4. Charges and Fees. Subject to Paragraph 8 below, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses attributable to the Tenant's Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses related to Landlord's review and approval of the Plans or Landlord's supervision of Tenant's Work, nor shall Tenant be required to furnish any additional security.
 
5. Change Orders. 
 
(a) All changes to the final Plans requested by Tenant must be submitted to Landlord in writing within a reasonable time after Tenant or Tenant's Contractor makes or receives changes to such Plans, regardless of whether or not such changes are subject to Landlord's prior approval. Material Changes (hereinafter defined) to the Plans must be approved by Landlord in writing in advance of the implementation of such changes as part of the Tenant's Work. Landlord's consent to such Material Changes is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
 
(b) Material Changes are defined as those changes to the Plans which either:
 
(i) affect the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC or other systems of the Building;
 
(ii) alter or affect the exterior or the structure of the Building; or
 
(iii) alterations or additions which cost in excess of $25,000.00.
 
A-2

(c) Delays caused by Tenant-initiated change orders, including, without limitation, any stoppage of Tenant's Work during the change order review process, are solely the responsibility of Tenant and shall cause no delay in the commencement of the Extension Term or the rental obligations set forth in the Lease.
 
6. Standards of Design and Construction and Conditions of Tenant's Performance. All Tenant's Work done in or upon the Premises by Tenant shall be done according to the standards set forth in this Paragraph 6, except as the same may be modified in the Plans approved by or on behalf of Landlord and Tenant.

Approval by Landlord of the Plans shall not constitute a waiver of this requirement or assumption by Landlord of responsibility for compliance. Where several sets of the foregoing laws, codes and standards must be met, the strictest shall apply where not prohibited by another law, code or standard.
 
(b) Tenant shall obtain, at its own cost and expense, all required building permits and, when construction has been completed, shall obtain, at its own cost and expense, an occupancy permit for the Premises, which permit shall be delivered to Landlord. Tenant's failure to obtain such permits shall not cause a delay in the commencement of the Extension Term or the rental obligations set forth under the Lease or First Amendment.
 
(c) Tenant's Contractors shall be licensed contractors, possessing good labor relations, capable of performing quality workmanship and working in harmony with Landlord's contractors and subcontractors and with other contractors and subcontractors in the Building.
 
(d) Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform on behalf of and for the account of Tenant, subject to reimbursement by Tenant, any Tenant's Work (i) which Landlord deems to be necessary on an emergency basis, (ii) which pertains to structural components, building systems or the general utility systems for the Building, (iii) which pertains to the erection of temporary safety barricades or signs during construction, or (iv) which pertains to patching of the Tenant's Work.

(f) Tenant and Tenant's Contractors, in performing Tenant's Work, shall not unreasonably interfere with other tenants and occupants of the Building. Tenant and Tenant's Contractors shall make all efforts and take all steps appropriate to construction activities undertaken in a fully occupied, first-class office building so as not to interfere with the operation of the Building and shall, in any event, comply with all reasonable rules and regulations existing from time to time at the Building. Tenant and Tenant's Contractors shall take all precautionary steps to minimize dust, noise and construction traffic and to protect their facilities and the facilities of others affected by the Tenant's Work and to properly police same. Construction equipment and materials are to be kept within the Premises, and delivery and loading of equipment and materials shall be done at such locations and at such time as Landlord shall direct so as not to burden the construction or operation of the Building. In the event that Tenant's Work may disrupt, interfere or in any way affect another tenant's use of the Building or any portion thereof, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to secure any approvals that may be required of those tenants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant and Tenant's Contractors shall have the right to perform the Tenant's Work.
 
A-3

(g) Landlord shall have the right to order Tenant or any of Tenant's Contractors who materially violate the requirements imposed on Tenant or Tenant's Contractors in performing Tenant's Work to cease Tenant's Work and remove its equipment and employees from the Building. No such action by Landlord shall delay the commencement of the Lease or the rental and other obligations therein set forth.
 
(h) Utility costs or charges for any service (including HVAC, hoisting or freight elevator and the like) to the Premises shall be the responsibility of Tenant from the date Tenant commences the Tenant's Work and shall be paid for by Tenant at Landlord's rates. Tenant shall apply and pay for all utility meters required. All use of freight elevators is subject to scheduling by Landlord. Tenant shall arrange and pay for removal of construction debris and shall not place debris in the Building's waste containers.
 
(i) Tenant shall permit access to the Premises, and the Tenant's Work shall be subject to inspection, by Landlord and Landlord's architects, engineers, contractors and other representatives at all times during the period in which the Tenant's Work is being constructed and installed and following completion of the Tenant's Work.
 
(j) Tenant shall proceed with the Tenant's Work expeditiously, continuously and efficiently, and shall complete the same on or before December 31, 2007, and Landlord shall use reasonable commercial efforts to assist Tenant with the completion of the Tenant's Work on or before said date. Tenant shall notify Landlord upon completion of the Tenant's Work and shall furnish Landlord with such further documentation as may be necessary under Paragraph 8 below.
 
(k) Tenant shall have no authority to deviate from the Plans in performance of the Tenant's Work unless: (i) such deviation meets the requirements set forth in Paragraph 5 above; or (ii) such deviations have been authorized by Landlord or its designated representative in writing.

Tenant further covenants and agrees to insure the Tenant's Work for the full replacement value thereof, in accordance with Article 11 and Article 17 of the Original Lease. Tenant's insurance shall include Tenant's Contractors and Tenant shall require Tenant's Contractors to secure, pay for and maintain during the continuance of the construction within the Building or the Premises, insurance of the types and amounts set forth in Article 17 of the Original Lease.
 
(b) Without limitation of the indemnification provisions contained in the Lease, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord's contractors and Landlord's architects and their respective partners, directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of whatever nature arising out of or in connection with the Tenant's Work or the entry of Tenant or Tenant's Contractors into the Building and the Premises, including, without limitation, mechanics' liens or the cost of any repairs to the Premises or Building necessitated by activities of Tenant or Tenant's Contractors and death of or bodily injury to persons or damage to the property of Tenant, Tenant's Contractors and their respective employees, agents, invitees or licensees or others, except for such claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses solely caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors. It is understood and agreed that the foregoing indemnity shall be in addition to the insurance requirements set forth above and shall not be in discharge of or in substitution for same or any other indemnity or insurance provision of the Lease.
 
8. Landlord's Contribution; Excess Amounts.
 
(a) In connection with the Tenant's Work, provided that Tenant complies with all of the requirements of this Section 8 and Tenant is not in default hereunder or under the Lease, Landlord shall contribute a maximum amount ("Landlord's Contribution") of Three Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Nine Hundred Forty and No/100 Dollars ($395,940.00) (calculated at the rate of $10.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises), as Landlord's share of the cost of the Tenant's Work incurred by Tenant

The Payment Request shall include: (i) all applications for payment to Tenant's Architect and certificates of payment issued by Tenant's Architect; and (ii) copies of the AIA documents G702tm-1992 and G703tm-1992 received or issued for each application for payment made by Tenant's Contractors.

(c) Within five (5) days of receiving a Payment Request from Tenant, Landlord shall pay a portion of the Landlord's Contribution in the amount of Eighty-Nine Thousand Eighty-Six and 50/100 Dollars ($89,086.50), which amount equals one-quarter (1/4) of the Landlord's Contribution, minus the ten percent (10%) retainage (as set forth in subsection (d) below).
 
(d) After each Payment Request, Landlord shall pay the portion of the Landlord Contribution as set forth in subsection (c) above, until ninety percent (90%) of Landlord's Contribution has been expended and only the ten percent (10%) retainage amount remains (the "Retainage"). The Retainage shall equal $39,594.00, and Tenant shall not be entitled to such Retainage until it has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (f) below.

(b) If the Plans for the Tenant's Work require the construction and installation of more fire hose cabinets or telephone/electrical closets than the number regularly provided by Landlord in the core of the Building in which the Premises are located, then Tenant agrees to pay all costs and expenses arising from the construction and installation of such additional fire hose cabinets or telephone/electrical closets.
 
A-6

(c) Time is of the essence under this Work Letter.
