under or in connection with the Lease. The terms used herein shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Lease.

ongoing relationship with Triple Point Engineering.


 


(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Amended Lease, Tenant shall have no obligation to reimburse Landlord for the costs of the Civil

		6.	Extension Options. Section 21 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following
shall be substituted in lieu thereof:



 


21. EXTENSION
OPTIONS. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant five (5) consecutive options to renew the Lease (each, an “Extension
Option”) for a period of three (3) years each (any such option period, a “Renewal Term”). The Lease Term shall be
deemed to be automatically extended to the next Renewal Term unless the Tenant gives Landlord written notice not later than ninety
(90) days prior to the end of the then current Lease Term that it elects not to extend the Lease Term; provided, however, that
Landlord shall have the right to negate such automatic exercise of an Extension Option in the event that Tenant is in default of the
Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, at either the time of giving such notice or at the time of commencement of the
applicable Renewal Term, by delivering written notice to Tenant of such negation on or prior to the date of commencement of the
applicable Renewal Term. The term “Lease Term” means the Lease Term as defined by the Lease Agreement and, if one or
more of the Renewal Terms are exercised, shall include the related Renewal Term(s). Tenant's leasehold estate during a Renewal Term
shall be subject to all terms and provisions of the Lease. The Rent during any Renewal Term shall be the Rent in effect at the end
of the then expiring Term or Renewal Term, increased by four percent (4%) per annum. For clarity, Rent shall increase, on a
cumulative basis, by four percent (4%) upon each commencement date of each Renewal Term.
