			3.Section 1.01 of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and restated to read as follows:
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 1.01.   Leased Premises.  Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, on the terms and provisions and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth in this Lease, Suite 500, 5801 Research Park Blvd., Madison, Wisconsin 53719, as shown on the attached floor plan (Exhibit A), consisting of 22,475 square feet of rentable square feet (21,203 usable square feet plus a 6% load factor) on the 5th floor of the Building (the “Leased Premises”).

		it is located are referred to herein as "Landlord's Property".  Tenant shall also have a non-exclusive right, subject to the provisions hereof, to use all appurtenances to the Leased Premises designated by Landlord from time to time for use in common by other tenants of the Building in accordance with the provisions of Article V, subject to the rights of Landlord under Section 5.01.  Landlord has determined the rentable area of the Building and the Leased Premises substantially in accordance with ANSI/BOMA 1996 “Standard Method for Measuring Floor area in Office Buildings” (the “BOMA Standards”). Landlord agrees to cap the BOMA load factor at 6%. If at any time Landlord determines, substantially in accordance with BOMA Standards, that the rentable area of the Leased Premises or Building differs from the rentable area specified in this section, Landlord and Tenant will amend this Lease accordingly; provided, however, that any such amendment will operate prospectively only. Landlord and Tenant will not make any retroactive adjustments to Base Rent or any other payments on account of any difference between the rentable area of the Leased Premises or Building specified in this section and the rentable area of the Leased Premises or Building as may be determined after the date of this Lease.
		

		
			 
		

		
			In the event Landlord elects to expand the Building, Landlord shall have the option to remove from the Leased Premises the Exit Vestibule depicted on Exhibit A, consisting of 142 rentable square feet (the “Exit Vestibule”).  Landlord may exercise this option by written notice (the "Removal Option Notice") to Tenant given at least thirty (30) days in advance of the removal, provided Landlord shall be responsible for all costs related to such removal, including but not limited to the cost of any improvements or alterations required to partition the Exit Vestibule from the Leased Premises.  The Removal Option Notice shall specify the date on which the Exit Vestibule shall be removed from the Leased Premises, at which time Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent after the removal shall be adjusted to reflect the removal and thereafter the Exit Vestibule shall be excluded from the Leased Premises for all purposes under this Lease.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			At all times during the Term of the Lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant with access to the Building and the Leased Premises twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week.

Alterations, additions, improvements and fixtures (other than trade fixtures) which may be made or installed by Tenant upon the Leased Premises shall remain the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Leased Premises as a part thereof, without disturbance, molestation or injury at the termination of the Term of this Lease, whether by the lapse of time or otherwise, all without compensation or credit to Tenant.
