RECITALS




     A. Pursuant to that certain Lease, dated as of December 18, 2000, by and between Landlord and
Tenant (the “Original Lease”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease, dated November
29, 2001 (the “First Amendment”), that certain Second Amendment to Lease, dated April 14, 2003 (the

     (a) Fourth Expansion Space. Effective as of the date hereof, the Existing Premises
demised under the Lease shall be deemed expanded to include the Fourth Expansion Space, consisting
for all purposes of the Lease of 6,117 rentable square feet, as such Fourth Expansion Space is

System”). Tenant shall, at its expense, maintain the Existing Generator and HVAC System, and for
the remainder of the Extension Term, obtain and maintain at all times, a monthly service contract
in form and contact satisfactory to Landlord for the Existing Generator and HVAC System (the
“Service Contract”). On or before August 10th, 2006, Tenant shall submit a proposed
Service Contract for Landlord’s review and approval. Landlord shall notify Tenant within five (5)
days of receipt of such proposal whether or not the proposed Service Contract is acceptable. If
Landlord rejects such proposed Service Contract, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days following
Landlord’s rejection, submit a new proposed Service Contract for Landlord’s review and approval,
and such process shall continue within the same time frames until Tenant submits to Landlord an
acceptable Service Contract. In the event Tenant desires to terminate an existing Service
Contract, prior to any such termination, Tenant shall submit to Landlord for its review and
approval, a new proposed Service Contract.



     (b) Fifth Expansion Space. Effective immediately upon the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the Geomet Lease or (ii) the termination of the Geomet Lease in accordance with its
terms (the “Fifth Expansion Commencement Date”), the Existing Premises demised under the Lease
shall be deemed expanded to include the Fifth Expansion Space, consisting for all purposes of the
Lease of 5,572 rentable square feet, as such Fifth Expansion Space is described on Exhibit A-2
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The rentable square feet of the Fifth
Expansion Space was measured by Gaudreau, Inc. in accordance with BOMA. Upon Landlord’s request,
which may be made at any time following the Fifth Expansion Commencement Date, Tenant shall execute
and deliver to Landlord a written acknowledgment of the Fifth Expansion Commencement Date in the
form of the "Acknowledgment of Fifth Expansion Commencement Date" attached to this Fifth Amendment
as Exhibit B.

the Fifth Expansion Space.



     (d) Acceptance of New Expansion Space. Tenant hereby accepts the Fourth Expansion
Space and the Existing Generator and HVAC System in their condition as of the date hereof, subject

the Fourth Expansion Space and/or the Existing Generator and HVAC System. Tenant’s taking
possession of the Fourth Expansion Space is conclusive evidence that Tenant

accepts the Fourth Expansion Space in as-is condition and is conclusive evidence that the
Existing Generator and HVAC System are in good, working condition. Tenant acknowledges that
neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to
the condition of all or any portion of either the Fourth Expansion Space or the Existing Generator
and HVAC System.




     Tenant is currently in possession of the Fifth Expansion Space and upon the Fifth Expansion
Commencement Date, Tenant shall accept the Fifth Expansion Space in its then current condition,
subject to all applicable Legal Requirements. Landlord shall have no obligation for any defects
in the Fifth Expansion Space and Tenant’s continued possession of the Fifth Expansion Space shall
be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the Fifth Expansion Space in as-is condition. Upon the
expiration of the Extension Term or earlier termination of Tenant’s rights and possession for the
Fifth Expansion Space, Tenant shall surrender the Fifth Expansion Space in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in Section 28 of the Lease. Landlord recognizes and
acknowledges that prior to Tenant’s taking possession of the Fifth Expansion Space, Geomet caused

required to restore the Modified Area to the condition which existed immediately prior to the
Office Space Modifications.
