6. Condition of Premises and Reimbursement of Relocation Costs.

(a) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any
construction or make any additional improvements or alterations, or to afford
any allowance to Tenant for improvements or alterations, in connection with this
Amendment, other than as is set forth in this Paragraph 6. Except as is provided
in this Paragraph 6, Tenant accepts the Second Additional Space in its “as is”
condition.

(b) Landlord shall tender possession of the Second Additional Space in “broom
clean” condition, free of all occupants with all the work to be performed by
Landlord pursuant to Exhibit B to this Lease substantially completed and all
systems serving the same in good and operational condition. For purposes of the

Section 2.1 of the Lease. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to do so by
September 1, 2009 (the “Scheduled Second Additional Space Commencement Date”).
Tenant shall deliver a punch list of items not completed within thirty (30) days
after Landlord tenders possession of the Second Additional Space and Landlord
agrees to proceed with due diligence to perform its obligations regarding such
items. Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, execute and deliver a memorandum
agreement provided by Landlord in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, setting
forth the actual Second Additional Space Commencement Date, and, if necessary, a
revised rent schedule to take into consideration a change of the date of
commencement of the Annual Rent schedule as provided in this Amendment. Should
Tenant fail to do so within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s request, the
information set forth in such memorandum provided by Landlord shall be
conclusively presumed to be agreed and correct.

(c) Tenant agrees that in the event of the inability of Landlord to deliver
possession of the Second Additional Space on the Scheduled Second Additional

damage resulting from such inability and Tenant shall continue in occupancy of,

2

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

with respect to the Second Additional Space and Tenant shall not be liable for
any rent for the Second Additional Space until the time when Landlord can, after
notice to Tenant, deliver possession of the Second Additional Space to Tenant.
No such failure to give possession on the Scheduled Second Additional Space
Commencement Date shall affect the other obligations of Tenant under this Lease,
except that if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Second Additional
Space in the condition required hereunder within one hundred twenty (120) days
after the Scheduled Second Additional Space Commencement Date (other than as a
result of strikes, shortages of materials, or similar matters beyond the
reasonable control of Landlord and Tenant is notified by Landlord in writing as
to such delay), Tenant shall have the option to deliver a termination notice,
unless and to the extent that said delay is as a result of: (a) Tenant’s failure
to agree to plans and specifications and/or construction cost estimates or bids
within the time periods set forth herein; (b) Tenant’s request for materials,
finishes or installations other than Landlord’s standard except those, if any,
that Landlord shall have expressly agreed to furnish without extension of time
agreed by Landlord; (c) Tenant’s change in any plans or specifications after the
same are approved; or, (d) performance or completion by a party employed by
Tenant (each of the foregoing, a “Tenant Delay”). If any delay is the result of
a Tenant Delay, the Second Additional Space Commencement Date and the payment of
rent as set forth in this Amendment shall be accelerated by the number of days
of such Tenant Delay, but Landlord shall remain obligated to diligently complete
the Landlord Work. Subject to the foregoing, if Landlord fails to substantially
complete such work and deliver possession of the Second Additional Space within
thirty (30) days after delivery of the termination notice, this Amendment shall
be cancelled and of no force or effect, and the Lease shall continue in full
force and effect without reference to this Amendment.

(d) Provided that Tenant does not interfere with Landlord’s Work, Tenant, or any
agent, employee or contractor of Tenant, may, upon Landlord’s notice to Tenant,
enter, use or occupy the Second Additional Space prior to the Second Additional
Space Commencement Date for purposes of preparing the same for Tenant’s
occupancy. Such entry, use or occupancy shall be subject to all the provisions
of this Lease other than the payment of rent. Said early possession shall not
advance the Termination Date.

7. Commissions. Each of the parties represents and warrants that it has not
dealt with any broker or finder in connection with this Amendment, other than
Richards Barry Joyce & Partners, LLC (the “Broker”). Landlord hereby agrees to
pay the fees and commissions of the Broker pursuant to separate agreements.

8. Tenant’s Authority. If Tenant signs as a corporation, Tenant represents and
warrants that Tenant has been and is qualified to do business in the state in
which the Building is located, that the corporation has full right and authority
to enter into this Amendment, and that all persons signing on behalf of the
corporation were authorized to do so by appropriate corporate actions. Tenant
agrees to furnish promptly upon request a corporate resolution, proof of due
authorization by partners, or other appropriate documentation evidencing the due
authorization of Tenant to enter into this Amendment.

Tenant hereby represents and warrants that neither Tenant, nor any persons or
entities holding any legal or beneficial interest whatsoever in Tenant, are to
its knowledge (i) the target of any sanctions program that is established by
Executive Order of the President or published by the

representation is untrue at any time during the Term, an Event of Default will
be deemed to have occurred, without the necessity of notice to Tenant.

the Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Tenant acknowledges that, as
of the date of the Amendment, Tenant (i) to its knowledge, is not in default
under the terms of the Lease; (ii) has no defense, set off or counterclaim to
the enforcement by Landlord of the terms of the Lease; and (iii) is not aware of

under the Lease. Landlord acknowledges that, as of the date of the Amendment,
Landlord (i) to its knowledge, is not in default under the terms of the Lease;

10. Limitation of Landlord Liability. Redress for any claims against Landlord
under the Lease or this Amendment shall only be made against Landlord to the

nor shall any resort be had to the private properties of, any of its trustees or
board of directors and officers, as the case may be, the general partners
thereof or any beneficiaries, stockholders, employees or agents of Landlord, or
the investment manager. In no case shall Landlord be liable to Tenant, or Tenant
be liable to Landlord, hereunder for any lost profits, damage to business, or
any form of special, indirect or consequential damages.
