 B. Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease
to reflect the lease by Landlord to Tenant of certain additional space, upon the terms and provisions hereinafter set forth. 

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and

North side of the First Additional Premises whose total area does not exceed 200 square feet following written approval by Landlord of plans and specifications for such sign. All signs installed by Tenant shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense and shall be installed in compliance with all applicable Laws (as defined below). Tenant shall remove all signs of Tenant upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and, at Landlord’s request, fill any holes in the Building

party claiming to have dealt with the indemnifying party and all costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, for any breach of the foregoing. The foregoing
indemnification shall survive the termination or expiration of the Lease. 
 8. BINDING EFFECT. The Original
Lease, as amended hereby, shall continue in full force and effect, subject to the terms and provisions thereof and hereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Original Lease and the terms of this Second Amendment, the terms of this
Second Amendment shall control. This Second Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Landlord, Tenant and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
