has also provided Lessor with an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit
(the “LOC”) in the amount
of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000.00). Lessor agrees to accept an amendment to the
LOC (as amended, the “LOC”) to provide for continuation of the LOC on the
following revised terms:

 

The amount of the LOC shall be Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00). The
LOC shall not have an expiration date earlier than December 31, 2018, and shall be timely
extended or replaced each year (at least 30-days prior to expiration) to continue year-to-
year through the Lease Term; provided, however, if the Lessee has not been in
material default of its obligations under the Lease at any time during the prior
calendar year (beyond applicable grace, notice and cure periods), then for the
calendar year 2020, the
amount of the LOC may be reduced by $25k, and each year thereafter, the amount of the
LOC may be reduced by $75k per year (thus, a reduced LOC balance of $275k for 2020,

$200k for 2021, $125k for 2022, $50k for 2023; $-0- after 2023). Lessee hereby
grants to Lessor a security interest in the LOC and the cash portion of the
Security Deposit,
which shall be held by Lessor in accordance with applicable provisions of the Lease and
the provisions hereof. The LOC shall be freely assignable by Lessor to Lessor’s
successors in interest (but only in connection with sale or financing of the of the Building
and/or assignment or collateral assignment of the Lease). The LOC shall be retained and
may be drawn upon by Lessor as additional security for Lessee’s faithful performance and
observance of the covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease.

 

7 Condition of Premises. Lessee occupies and is conducting its business in the
Premises and accepts the Premises (and all of Lessor’s Work previously completed
in the Premises) in “as is” “where is” condition and configuration.

 

Notwithstanding the above, Lessor, at Lessor’s expense, will construct and install a new
