that Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises.
Tenant also acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises.

Each individual executing this Fifth Amendment on behalf of Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant is a duly formed and existing
entity qualified to do business in California and that Tenant has full right and authority to deliver this Fifth Amendment and
that each person signing on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so.

amended.


 


7.       Disclosures
and Utility Usage Information. For purposes of Section 1938(a) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to
Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp).
As required by Section 1938(e) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby states as follows: "A Certified Access Specialist
(CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related
accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial
property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the
occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree
on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost
of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises."
In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows: (a) any CASp inspection requested by Tenant shall
be conducted, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, by a CASp designated by Landlord, subject to Landlord's reasonable rules and
requirements; (b) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for making any improvements or repairs within the
Premises to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards; and (c) if anything done by or for Tenant in its
use or occupancy of the  Premises shall require any improvements or repairs
to the Building or the Center (outside the Premises) to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards, then
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, for the cost to Landlord of performing such improvements or repairs.
If Tenant is billed directly by a public utility with respect to Tenant's electrical usage at the Premises, upon request, Tenant
shall provide monthly electrical utility usage for the Premises to Landlord for the period of time requested by Landlord (in electronic
or paper foiiiiat) or, at Landlord's option, provide any written authorization or other documentation required for Landlord to
request information regarding Tenant's electricity usage with respect to the Premises directly from the applicable utility company.

8.       Defaults.
Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that, as of the date of this Fifth Amendment, Tenant is in full compliance with
all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease and that there are no breaches or defaults under the Lease by Landlord or Tenant,
and that Tenant knows of no events or circumstances which, given the passage of time, would constitute a default under the Lease
by either Landlord or Tenant.


 


9.       Counterparts
and Fax/Email Signatures. This Fifth Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
but such counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement. This Fifth Amendment may be executed by a party's signature
transmitted by facsimile ("fax") or email and copies of this Fifth Amendment executed and delivered by means of faxed
or emailed signatures shall have the same force and effect as copies hereof executed and delivered with original signatures. All
parties hereto may rely upon faxed or emailed signatures as if such signatures were originals. Any party executing and delivering
this Fifth Amendment by fax or email shall promptly thereafter deliver a counterpart signature page of this Fifth Amendment containing
said party's original signature. All parties hereto agree that a faxed or emailed signature page may be introduced into evidence
in any proceeding arising out of or related to this Fifth Amendment as if it were an original signature page.


 


10.       No
Further Modification. Except as set forth in this Fifth Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease shall remain
unmodified and in full force and effect. This Fifth Amendment contains the entire understanding between the parties with respect
to the matters contained herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Lease and the terms and conditions
of this Fifth Amendment, the terms and conditions of this Fifth Amendment shall prevail. No representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements have been made concerning or affecting the subject matter of this Fifth Amendment, except as are contained herein
and in the Lease. This Fifth Amendment may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against
whom enforcement of any waiver, change or modification or discharge is sought.
