of the 96,611 square foot building at 325 Corporate Drive, Portsmouth, New

3. Section 2.9 of the Sublease is deleted in its entirety.

 

4. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in the Sublease,
throughout the Base Term of the Sublease, as the same may be extended,
commencing on June 1, 2010:

5. Section 3.1 of the Sublease is hereby amended to provide that the Base Term
of the Sublease shall be extended through April 30, 2022.

 

6. Section 4.1 of the Sublease is deleted in its entirety and the following
substituted therefore:

“4.1. The Base Rent due from Sublessee to Sublessor during the annual period
commencing May 1, 2010 (Year 1) shall be calculated by multiplying the number of
square feet included in the Subleased Premises by Ten Dollars and Fifty Cents
($10.50). For each year commencing May 1, 2011, the Base Rent due hereunder
shall be increased by a percentage of the previous year’s Base Rent, which
percentage shall be the lesser of (a) five (5) times the increase in the
Consumer Price Index for the previous calendar year, or (b) Two and Four Tenths
Percent (2.4%) annually, but in no event shall there be a reduction in the
annual rent. By way of example, the following Base Rent schedule has been
calculated assuming that there are 65,881 square feet of space within the
Subleased Premises and that the annual increase is 2.4% for each year during the
Base Term:

For purposes of this Sublease, the term “Consumer Price Index” shall mean the
Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers, All Cities Average) issued by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States for the period from the first
(1st) day of such previous calendar year through the last day of such previous
year. In no event shall the Base Rent due hereunder in any year during the Base
Term hereof be less than the Base Rent due during the immediately preceding
year.”

 

7. A new Section 4.2.1 is added to the Sublease, which Section reads as follows:

“4.2.1. Rent Net to Sublessor. It is understood and agreed between the parties
hereto that the Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts herein reserved are
intended to be net rents, and that Sublessor shall

 

1

based on 59,882 square feet in the Premises.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

at all times be entitled to receive such rents in full. Sublessee shall pay the
Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts herein reserved promptly, without demand
therefor, and without any abatement, suspension, setoff or deduction of any kind
whatsoever, except as expressly provided in the Sublease. In the event of a
default in the payment of Additional Rent or other amounts herein reserved,
Sublessor shall have the same remedies as in the case of a default in the
payment of Rent.”

 

8. Section 4.3 is amended by deleting subsection 4.3.1 (ii) (a), and adding
thereto a new subsection 4.3.1 (iv) which reads as follows:

“(iv) Ground Rent. Shall mean the rental payments made or to be made under
Sublessor’s lease with the PDA (or its successors or assigns) for the property
located at 325 Corporate Drive, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, including rent and
additional rent.”

 

9. Section 4.3.2 of the Sublease is deleted in its entirety and the following
substituted therefore:

“4.3.2 Sublessee’s Payments. (a) Sublessee shall be responsible for Sublessee’s
Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, Utility Expenses, and Ground Rent.

(b) Sublessor shall annually estimate the Operating Expenses, Utility Expenses
and Ground Rent. Sublessor’s estimate for the calendar year 2010 is: Operating
Expenses and Utility Expenses - $3.53 per RSF; Ground Rent - $1.18 per RSF. As
of each anniversary date the Sublessor shall reconcile the estimated expenses
with the actual expenses, and determine the estimated payments for the next 12
month period. Estimated payments by Sublessee on account of Sublessee’s
Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, Utility Expenses and Ground Rent
shall be made monthly and at the time and in the fashion herein provided for the
payment of Base Rent. Sublessor shall use its best efforts to, within ninety
(90) days following the end of each Operating Year, submit to Sublessee a
reasonably detailed accounting of Operating Expenses, Utility Expenses and
Ground Rent for such Year, together with reasonable documentation supporting the
same, and Sublessor shall certify to the accuracy thereof. If estimated payments
theretofore made for such Year by Sublessee exceed Sublessee’s required payment
on account thereof for such Year, according to such statement, Sublessor shall
credit the amount of overpayment against subsequent obligations of Sublessee
with respect to Operating Expenses, Utility Expenses and Ground Rent (or refund
such overpayment if the Term of this Sublease has ended and Sublessee has no
further obligation to Sublessor), but, if the required payments on account
thereof for such Year are greater than the estimated payments (if any)
theretofore made on account thereof for such Year, Sublessee shall make payment
to Sublessor within thirty (30) days after being so advised by Sublessor.
Sublessor shall have the same rights and remedies for the nonpayment by
Sublessee of any payments due on account of Operating Expenses, Utility Expenses
and Ground Rent as Sublessor has hereunder for the failure of Sublessee to pay
Base Rent.

(c) “Sublessee’s Proportionate Share” shall mean a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of rentable square feet in the Premises, and the denominator
of which is the number of rentable square feet in the Building, unless it is
determined that Sublessee’s use exceeds its proportionate share, in which case
the parties shall determine an equitable payment methodology.”

 

10. Sublessor shall use best efforts to, within 90 days of the execution of this
Third Amendment, at its sole cost and expense, cause the electricity that is
furnished to the Subleased Premises (for light, plugs and HVAC (to the extent
reasonably possible)) to be separately submetered. Following such submetering,
Sublessee shall pay its electrical costs for that electricity supplied to the
Premises which is separately sub-metered to Sublessor based on its actual
consumption of electricity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11. Article 5 of the Sublease is hereby amended by changing the Caption thereof
to read “TAXES” rather than “TAXES AND UTILITIES”.

 

12. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in the Sublease, as
amended hereby, Sublessor shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain a lobby
directory and directional signs at the entrance of the Building. Sublessee shall
have the right to place its signage on such directory and directional signs;
such signage to reflect Sublessee’s occupancy of the Subleased Premises and
Sublessee’s relative occupancy of the Building compared to other tenants in the
Building in both sign and lettering size. In addition the foregoing, Sublessee
shall have the right to maintain existing signage installed in, on or around the
Building and Premises, including any existing Building façade signage.

 

13. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in the Sublease, as
amended hereby, within three hundred sixty-five (365) days following the
Effective Date, Sublessor shall use its best efforts, at its sole cost and
expense, to engage one or more third-party consultants reasonably acceptable to
perform both an energy-efficiency audit of the Building and an assessment of the
Building to determine what changes, modifications or upgrades would be required
for the Building to achieve certification under the U.S. Green Building
Council’s LEED for Existing Buildings certification program. Sublessor shall
promptly provide copies of such audits and/or assessments to Sublessee upon
Sublessor’s receipt, but shall be under no obligation to make any recommended
changes, modifications or upgrades proposed therein.

 

14. Section 21.3 of the Sublease is hereby deleted in its entirety and the
following substituted therefore:

“21.3 Expansion Options. Provided no event of default has occurred under the
Sublease, Sublessee shall have the right and option to expand the space which
comprises the Subleased Premises as follows:

 

  (a) Sublessee shall have the option to expand the Subleased Premises to
include Option Space B, consisting of 4,933 rentable square feet, as shown on
Exhibit 2 hereto, such option exercisable by written notice to Sublessor
delivered no later than May 31, 2011.

 

  (b) During the period from May 1, 2010 through April 30, 2015 (the “First
Offer Period”), if any space in the Building should become available for rent,
Sublessor shall first offer such space to Sublessee by giving Sublessee written
notice identifying such available space (the “Offer Space”). Sublessee shall
then have the right, within thirty (30) days after receiving Sublessor’s notice,
to exercise its right expand the Subleased Premises to include such space by
providing written notice to Sublessor. If Sublessee does not timely exercise
said right, then Sublessor shall be free to sublease the Offer Space to a third
party or parties on such terms as Sublessor deems appropriate.

 

  (c) If, prior to March 30, 2018, Option Space C, consisting of 14,113 rentable
square feet, as shown on Exhibit 2 hereto (the “Alpha Flying Space”) should
become available for rent, Sublessor shall first offer such space to Sublessee
by giving Sublessee written notice identifying such available space Sublessee
shall then have the right, within thirty (30) days after receiving Sublessor’s
notice, to exercise its right expand the Subleased Premises to include the Alpha
Flying Space by providing written notice to Sublessor. If Sublessee does not
timely exercise said right, then Sublessor shall be free to sublease the Alpha
Flying Space to a third party or parties on such terms as Sublessor deems
appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Sublessor shall fail to
enter into a sublease with a prospective sublessee within one hundred eighty
(180) days following Sublessee’s election not to sublease such space pursuant to
this Section 21.3(c), Sublessor will resubmit for Sublessee’s review the good
faith terms on which Sublessor is offering such space.

 

  (d)

In the event Sublessee shall exercise its option rights under subparagraphs (a)
- (c) above: (i) the per square foot rental rate shall be the same per square
foot charge paid by the Sublessee under Article 4.1 of this Sublease plus any
other additional charges payable by the Sublessee under this

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Lease, (ii) Sublessee’s Proportionate Share shall be increased to reflect the
additional space, (iii) the space in question will be delivered to Sublessee in
“as is” condition, and (iv) all other terms and conditions of the Sublease,
including the Term, shall apply to such additional space; provided, however,
that should the Sublessee exercise its option rights under subparagraph
(a) above, Sublessee shall have one hundred twenty (120) days of free rent in
which Sublessee shall promptly prepare plans and specifications for the work it
deems necessary to build out the interior of the Offer Space and/or Alpha Flying
Space, as applicable (which plans shall be subject to Sublessor’s approval, not
to be unreasonably withheld) and complete such build out at its own cost and
expense. No fee will be due Sublessor for its review of any plans submitted to
it by Sublessee under this subsection 21.3 (d).

 

  (e) All construction work by Sublessee required or permitted by Section 21.3
of this Sublease shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, and in
compliance with all applicable laws and all lawful ordinances, regulations and
orders of governmental authority and insurers of the Premise and Article 10 of
this Sublease. Sublessee shall pay, when due, any and all amounts owed for
material and/or labor used in connection with such construction, and shall
defend, indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from any and all claims arising
out of such construction. Sublessee shall promptly cause any mechanics liens
placed on the property located at 325 Corporate Drive, Portsmouth, New Hampshire
to be released and discharged.”

 

15. Article 28 of the Sublease is hereby deleted in its entirety and the
following substituted therefore:

“ARTICLE 28. NOTICES All notices and other communications authorized or required
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by mailing the same certified
or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or by mailing the
same by Express Mail or by having the same delivered by a commercial delivery
service to the following address, until either party shall notify the other in
writing of a different address:

The date of giving any notice shall be deemed to be the date upon which delivery
is actually made by one of the methods described in this Article 28 (or
attempted if said delivery is refused or rejected).”

 

16. The parties hereto acknowledge that they have dealt with no real estate
brokers in relation to this Sublease, except Sublessee’s broker, CresaPartners
(the “Broker”) who shall be paid a commission by Sublessor equal to five percent
(5%) of the gross rent (Base Rent + Ground Rent + RE Taxes and Operating
Expenses) paid by Sublessee to Sublessor hereunder for the period May 1, 2012
through April 30, 2022 hereunder. The commission shall be deemed earned upon the
execution of this Third Amendment by both parties hereto and shall be payable
thirty (30) days following such execution. Sublessor acknowledges and agrees
that the Broker shall have the right to designate a portion of such commission
as a credit against Base Rent accruing under the Sublease, as amended hereby,
and in such event Sublessor agrees to reduce the commission by the amount of
such credit and apply the credit to Sublessee’s account.

 

17. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in the Sublease, as
amended hereby, Sublessor warrants and represents to the best of its knowledge
and belief, as of the Effective Date, the property is free from contamination by
Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Substances and complies with all environmental
laws.

 

18. Renewal Option.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in the Sublease, provided
Sublessee is not then in default on any of its obligations under the Sublease,
Sublessee shall have the right to extend the Base Term, as extended hereby, for
two (2) additional terms of five (5) years each (each, a “Renewal Term”) under
the same terms and conditions as the initial Base Term (other than Base Rent),
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b) Sublessee shall provide to Sublessor not less than twelve (12) months’
written notice, prior to the expiration of the then current Base Term, of
Sublessee’s intention to so extend (each such notice from Sublessee being
hereinafter referred to as a “Renewal Notice”). Within thirty (30) days after
receiving a Renewal Notice, Sublessor shall notify Sublessee of the proposed
annual Base Rent for the Renewal Term in question, which proposed annual Base
Rent shall be the lesser of (y) the then current Sublease rate for the last
month of the initial Base Term or the first Renewal Term (as the case may be) or
(z) ninety-five percent (95%) of the “Market Rental Rate” for the Subleased
Premises. “Market Rental Rate” shall mean the net effective rental, as of the
date for which such Market Rental Rate is being calculated, per annum per
rentable square foot (with annual adjustments) for comparable space of
comparable size for a similar term in arms’ length transactions, taking into
account all current market rental conditions for comparable space within the
Portsmouth, New Hampshire market, including, but not limited to, rental
concessions, brokerage commissions, tenant improvements and improvement
allowances.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) Sublessee shall then have thirty (30) days to notify Sublessor whether
Sublessee accepts or rejects Sublessor’s Base Rent proposal, with the failure of
Sublessee to accept Sublessor’s proposal in writing deemed to constitute a
rejection of Sublessor’s proposal. If Sublessee rejects Sublessor’s proposal,
then for a period of thirty (30) days, beginning with the date of such rejection
(or presumed rejection), Sublessor and Sublessee shall use good-faith efforts to
agree in writing on Base Rent for the Renewal Term in question. In the event
that Sublessor and Sublessee fail, within such thirty (30) day period, to agree
on the Base Rent for the Renewal Term in question, Sublessor and Sublessee shall
each appoint an “Appraiser” to determine the Market Rental Rate. Each
“Appraiser” shall be an MAI appraiser with at least ten (10) years experience
valuing commercial properties in the City of Portsmouth. Neither an Appraiser
nor the employer of either Appraiser shall have been employed by the entity
selecting such Appraiser within the previous five (5) years. If the total Base
Rent for the entire Renewal Term in question set forth in the respective Market
Rental determinations of the Appraisers differs by ten percent (10%) or less,
the Base Rent for that Renewal Term shall be ninety five percent (95%) of the
average of the amounts. If the total Base Rent for the entire Renewal Term in
question set forth in the Market Rental determinations of the Appraisers differs
by more than ten percent (10%), then the two Appraisers, within ten (10) days
after delivering their respective valuations, shall appoint another Appraiser
meeting the criteria set forth above, and the third Appraiser shall, within
thirty (30) days after his or her appointment, make another determination of the
Market Rental Rate. Ninety five percent (95%) of the average of (i) the third
Appraiser’s determination and (ii) the other determination closest to the third
Appraiser’s determination, shall be Market Rental, and such average shall be
conclusive and binding on Sublessor and Sublessee.

(d) Each Renewal Notice shall be irrevocable, and Sublessee shall be
unconditionally obligated to sublease the Subleased Premises during the Renewal
Term in question once the Renewal Notice is sent. Upon the exercise of a renewal
option, and the determination of Base Rent, either party may require the other
to enter into an Amendment to the Sublease to memorialize such exercise.

 

19. Acceptance of Premises and Improvements.

(a) Sublessee accepts the Subleased Premises in their current condition, “as is”
to the extent Sublessee is not receiving any tenant allowance from Sublessor in
connection with the execution of this Third Amendment, and, except as
specifically provided herein or in the Lease, Sublessor shall provide no “Tenant
Improvements” thereto. Nothing contained herein, however, shall be deemed to
alter or modify Sublessor’s maintenance and repair obligations as specifically
set forth in the Sublease.

(b) Within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, Sublessor, at its sole
cost and expense, shall construct those demising partitions in the Subleased
Premises in locations designated by Sublessee, if any, shown on Exhibit 3
thereto, which shall be taped and ready to receive Sublessee’s covering.
Further, Sublessor warrants and represents that the HVAC, electrical and
plumbing services serving the portion of the Subleased Premises shown on Exhibit
2 and the Common Area lighting fixtures shall be in good working order as of the
Effective Date. In addition, within ninety (90) days following the Effective
Date, Sublessor, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause the maintenance
obligations, more particularly set forth on Exhibit 3 attached to this Third
Amendment and made a part hereof, to be completed; provided, however, nothing
contained in this Third Amendment shall be construed as to limit Sublessor’s
maintenance and repair obligations as more particularly described in the
Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent such maintenance
obligations cannot be completed within such ninety (90) day period, then
Sublessor shall have a reasonable amount of time to complete such maintenance
obligations, provided Sublessor commences the repair of the maintenance
obligations within such ninety (90) day period and Sublessor diligently pursues
the completion of the same.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in the Sublease, as
amended hereby, in the event Sublessee elects to perform certain improvements in
the space in the Building it exercises its option to expand into pursuant to
Section 21.3 hereof (the “Exercised Option Space”), Sublessee, at its sole cost
and expense, shall perform such improvements in the Exercised Option Space in
accordance with plans and specifications approved in advance by Sublessor and,
if required, the PDA, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed by Sublessor. Additionally, in the event Sublessee elects to have a
preliminary test fit plan for such Exercise Option Space performed prior to the
commencement of any improvements in the Exercised Option Space, then Sublessor
shall provide an allowance to Sublessee in the amount of $0.10 multiplied by the
number of square feet in the subject Exercised Option Space to be applied by
Sublessee to such preliminary test fit plan.

(d) Any improvements in the Subleased Premises to be constructed by Sublessee
shall be (i) in accordance with plans and specifications approved in advance by
Sublessor and, if required under the Prime Lease, the PDA, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Sublessor, (ii) shall be
done in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all applicable
laws and all lawful ordinances, regulations and orders of governmental authority
and insurers of the Premise and Article 10 of this Sublease, and (iii) performed
by Sublessee through a licensed, general contractor approved in advance by
Sublessor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed; provided, however, Sublessor acknowledges and agrees that Sublessee
shall not be required to use union contractors and subcontractors in connection
with the construction of such improvements in the Subleased Premises. Sublessee
shall pay, when due, any and all amounts owed for material and/or labor used in
connection with such construction, and shall defend, indemnify and hold
Sublessor harmless from any and all claims arising out of such construction.
Sublessee shall promptly cause any mechanics liens placed on the property
located at 325 Corporate Drive, Portsmouth, New Hampshire to be released and
discharged. In no event shall Sublessee be required to pay a construction
management fee and/or any other fee to Sublessor or its representatives,
employees or agents in connection with Sublessor’s review of Sublessee’s
proposed plans and specifications for the construction such improvements. During
Sublessee’s construction of the improvements in the Subleased Premises,
Sublessee shall have the right, at no additional cost to Sublessee, to access
and use the freight elevators and the Common Areas of the Building at all times
provided it does not interfere with other Tenant’s use of the Building.

 

20. Right of First Offer to Purchase Building:

(a) At any time during the Base Term, as extended hereby, Sublessor desires to
sell the Building to any third-party (a “Proposed Sale”), then Sublessor shall
give Sublessee written notice (“Offer Notice”) of the proposed selling price
which Sublessor intends to offer and accept (the “Proposed Sale Price”),
together with any other material terms or conditions that Sublessor intends to
give or require in connection with such Proposed Sale (collectively, the
“Proposed Sale Terms”) and, Sublessor shall offer to sell to Sublessee the
Building for the Proposed Sale Price and on the Proposed Sale Terms, as may be
applicable.

(b) Sublessee shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt
of the Offer Notice (“Offer Period”) in which to accept such offer and agree to
purchase the Building on the Proposed Sale Terms. Any such acceptance by
Sublessee shall be in writing. If Sublessee accepts such offer specified in the
Offer Notice in accordance with the foregoing provisions Sublessor shall be
bound to sell the Building on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer
Notice, and Sublessee shall be bound to purchase the Building in accordance with
such Offer Notice, unless during the thirty (30) days following Sublessee’s
acceptance (the “Inspection Period”), Sublessee determines, in its reasonable

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

judgment, that there are matters related to the Building that are unsatisfactory
to Sublessee. If Sublessee determines that there are any such unsatisfactory
conditions, Sublessee shall notify Sublessor in writing prior to the expiration
of the Inspection Period and shall not be obligated to purchase the Building.
Upon such failure to accept such offer, or the termination of such acceptance as
provided for herein, the Sublease, as amended hereby, shall continue in full
force and effect but the right of first offer provided herein shall be deemed
waived as long as the Sublessor places the Building on the market for sale
within a reasonable time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessee’s right of
first offer to purchase the Building shall continue in full force and effect in
the event Sublessor shall take the Building off the market for sale but
thereafter Sublessor elects to place the Building back on the market for sale.
As used herein, the Building shall be deemed “off the market for sale” upon the
occurrence of the following: (i) Sublessor is no longer actively marketing the
Building for sale; (ii) Sublessor has ceased marketing the Building for sale for

has expired and Sublessor has not entered into another listing agreement within
one hundred eighty (180) days following the expiration of the term of such

and (ii) conforms in all material respects to the Proposed Sale Terms, shall
have the right to consummate such sale.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Third Amendment to the contrary,
the rights of Sublessee set forth in this Section 20 shall not be triggered as a
result of any sale or transfer of less than all of the ownership interests in
Sublessor (or the discussion or negotiation of the same) by and among the
existing partners and/or members of Sublessor.

 

21. Assignment.

(a) The first clause of the first sentence of Section 21.1 of the Sublease is

consent of Sublessor and the PDA, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed;”

(b) The last sentence of the third paragraph of Section 21.2 of the Sublease is
hereby deleted in its entirety. Notwithstanding such deletion, the parties
hereby agree that excepting leases to affiliates and subsidiaries and to the
extent not otherwise agreed between Sublessor and Sublessee, in no event shall
the rent charged by Sublessee be less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the
Market Rental Rate as calculated in accordance with Section 18 of this Third
Amendment.

(c) The last paragraph of Section 21.2 of the Sublease is hereby deleted in its

“Management fees paid or charges by Sublessor in connection with the management
of the Building to the extent such management fee is in excess of the management
fee customarily paid or charged by sublessors and/or landlords of comparable
buildings in the vicinity of the Building. In furtherance of the foregoing,
Sublessor agrees to competitively bid the contract for management services for
the Building annually and to provide to Sublessee copies of any and all bids
received by Sublessor with respect to third-party management services for the
Building.”

 

23. Simultaneously with its execution of this Third Amendment, Sublessor shall
execute and deliver to Sublessee an amendment to the memorandum of sublease, in
recordable form setting forth, among other things, the right of first offer to
purchase the Building granted to Sublessee in accordance with this Third
Amendment.

 

24. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in the Sublease, as
amended hereby (including Section 10.1 of the Sublease), Sublessee shall have
the right to make interior, nonstructural alterations, improvements and
additions to the Subleased Premises not effecting the primary systems of the
Building, including, without limitation, electrical, plumbing, security and
HVAC, as Sublessee deems necessary or desirable up to Ten Thousand and 00/100
Dollars ($10,000.00) in the aggregate per calendar year without obtaining
Sublessor’s and/or the PDA’s consent (as applicable), subject, however, to the
provisions of Section 19 (d) (ii) and (iii) above, and provided Sublessee shall
pay, when due, any and all amounts owed for material and/or labor used in
connection with such, alterations, improvements and additions and shall defend,
indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from any and all claims arising out of
such alterations, improvements and additions. Sublessee shall promptly cause any
mechanics liens placed on the property located at 325 Corporate Drive,
Portsmouth, New Hampshire to be released and discharged.

 

25. Section 18.3 of the Sublease is hereby deleted in its entirety. Within ten

original irrevocable letter of credit currently provided to Sublessor by
Sublessee in connection with the execution of the Second Amendment.

 

26. In all other respects, except as herein amended, the parties ratify and
confirm that the terms and provisions contained in the Sublease shall remain in
full force and effect and continue to apply to and bind the parties.
