“Tenant:




BIOLASE TECHNOLOGY, INC.

with a copy of notices to:




BIOLASE TECHNOLOGY, INC.


4 Cromwell


Irvine, CA 92618


Attn: General Counsel”



     B. Right to Extend the Lease. The provisions of Section 3.3 of the Lease entitled
“Right to Extend this Lease” shall remain in full force and effect and exercisable by Tenant during
the Term of the Lease as extended by this Amendment.



     C. Security Deposit



          (i) Section 4.3 of the Lease is hereby amended to provide that, upon an Event of Default by
Tenant (as defined in Section 14.1 of the Lease), Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion
and notwithstanding any contrary provision of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, additionally
retain, use or apply the whole or any part of the Security Deposit to pay amounts estimated by
Landlord as the amount due Landlord for prospective rent and for damages pursuant to Section 14.2
(a)(i) of the Lease and/or California Civil Code Section 1951.2.




          (ii) The second paragraph of Section 4.3 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and
shall have no further force or effect. Instead, Landlord shall return the difference between the
Security Deposit held by Landlord as of the date of this Amendment and the amount set forth in
Section III.A(3) of this Amendment (said difference being the amount of $131,439.00) to Tenant in
the form of credits against Basic Rent installments initially coming due under the Lease from and
after the date of this Amendment. Additionally, provided that (a) no “Event of Default” has
occurred at any time during the Term, and (b) Tenant has not at any time been more than ten (10)
days late with respect to any payment of Basic Rent or Operating Expenses due under the Lease more
than once in the 12-month period preceding the date of the applicable credit, then a portion of the
Security Deposit set forth in Section III.A(3) above shall be returned to Tenant in the form of
credits in the amount of Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00) each against the Basic Rent
installment due and payable on April 1, 2013 and on April 1, 2014.




     D. Broker’s Commission. Article XVIII of the Lease is amended to provide that the
parties recognize the following parties as the brokers who negotiated this Amendment, and agree
that Landlord shall be responsible for payment of brokerage commissions to such brokers pursuant to
its separate agreements with such brokers: Irvine Realty Company (“Landlord’s Broker”) and CB
Richard Ellis, Inc./Newport Beach (“Tenant’s Broker”). It is understood and agreed that Landlord’s
Broker represents only Landlord in connection with the execution of this Amendment and that
Tenant’s Broker represents only Tenant. The warranty and indemnity provisions of Article XVIII of
the Lease, as amended hereby, shall be binding and enforceable in connection with the negotiation
of this Amendment.



     E. Acceptance of Premises. Tenant acknowledges that the lease of the Premises
pursuant to this Amendment shall be on an “as-is” basis without further obligation on Landlord’s
part as to improvements whatsoever.
