-2-

with respect thereto in accordance with Paragraph 16.19. Tenant shall not be required to comply with any new rule or regulation unless the same applies non-discriminatorily to all occupants of the Industrial Center, does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises or Tenant’s parking rights, and does not materially increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Tenant under the Lease.

2.5 Common Area Changes . Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole discretion, from time to time:

(a) To make changes to the Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in the locations, size, shape, and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas, walkways, and utility raceways;

(b) To close temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance purposes so long as reasonable access to the Premises remains available;

(c) To designate other land outside the boundaries of the Industrial Center to be a part of the Common Areas;

(d) To add additional buildings and improvements to the Common Areas;

(e) To use the Common Areas while engaged in making additional improvements, repairs, or alterations to the Industrial Center, or any portion thereof; and

(f) To do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in, to, or with respect to the Common Areas and Industrial Center as Landlord may, in the exercise of sound business judgment, deem to be appropriate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not do any of the foregoing to the extent the same would unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, or materially increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Tenant under the Lease. In taking such actions, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to limit disruption to Tenant without incurring overtime expense.

2.6 Parking . At no additional cost, Tenant may use twelve (12) of the undesignated vehicle parking spaces, on an unreserved and unassigned basis, on those portions of the Common Areas designated by Landlord for such parking. Landlord shall exercise reasonable efforts to ensure that such spaces are available to Tenant for its use, but Landlord shall not be required to enforce Tenant’s right to use the same. Tenant shall not use more parking spaces than such number. Such parking spaces shall be used only for parking by vehicles no larger than full sized passenger automobiles or pick-up trucks and in no event shall Tenant or any of Tenant’s Representatives park or permit any parking of vehicles overnight. Tenant shall not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are controlled by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, suppliers, shippers, customers or invitees to be loaded, unloaded or parked in areas other than those designated by Landlord for such activities. If Tenant permits or allows any of the prohibited activities described herein, then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable as additional rent upon demand by Landlord. Landlord may change the number of parking spaces and configuration of the parking areas at any time, and may assign reserved parking spaces to any tenant, in Landlord’s sole discretion, so long as doing so does not materially interfere with Tenant’s parking rights hereunder.

In such case, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Rent or perform any other obligation of Tenant under the terms of this Lease until Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant with the Tenant Improvements substantially completed as set forth in Exhibit F . Rent under the Lease shall commence (the "Rent Commencement Date") on the later of February 1, 2007 and the earlier of (a) the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business (as opposed to early occupancy for the purpose of preparing the Premises for occupancy) or (b) the date Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant with the Tenant Improvements substantially completed as set forth in Exhibit F . If the Rent Commencement Date has not occurred on or before April 1, 2007 (with such date extended for each day of delay due to Tenant’s acts, failure to act, or omissions), then Tenant may by notice in writing to Landlord within 10 days after such date cancel this Lease and the parties shall be day period, Tenant’s right to cancel this Lease for such failure shall terminate.

10.3 Additional Improvements . Operating Expenses shall not include Real Property Taxes attributable to improvements placed upon the Industrial Center by other tenants or by Landlord for the exclusive enjoyment of such other tenants. Tenant shall, however, pay to Landlord at the time Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph 4.2, the entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed by reason of improvements placed upon the Premises by Tenant or at Tenant’s request.

10.4 Joint Assessment . If the Building is not separately assessed, Real Property Taxes allocated to the Building shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed.

10.5 Tenant’s Property Taxes . Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against and levied upon Tenant’s improvements, fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and all personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises or stored within the Industrial Center.

11. Utilities. Tenant shall pay directly for all utilities and services supplied to the Premises, including but not limited to electricity, telephone, security, gas, and cleaning of the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. For any such utility fees or services that are not billed or metered separately to Tenant, including without limitation, water and sewer charges, and garbage and waste disposal (collectively, "Utility Expenses"), Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of Utility Expenses. If Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant’s Share of Utility Expenses is not commensurate with Tenant’s use of such services, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount which is attributable to Tenant’s use of the utilities or similar services, as reasonably estimated and determined by Landlord, based upon factors such as size of the Premises and intensity of use of such utilities by Tenant such that Tenant shall pay the portion of such charges reasonably consistent with Tenant’s use of such utilities and similar services. If Tenant disputes any such estimate or determination, then Tenant shall either pay the estimated amount or cause the Premises to be separately metered at Tenant’s sole expense. Tenant shall also pay Tenant’s Share of any assessments, charges, and fees included within any tax bill for the lot on which the Premises are situated, including without limitation, entitlement fees, allocation unit fees, sewer use fees, and any other similar fees or charges .

12. Assignment and Subleasing .

12.1 Prohibition . Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign, mortgage, hypothecate, encumber, grant any license or concession pledge or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest herein, permit any assignment or other such transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and Tenant’s Representatives (all of the foregoing are sometimes referred to collectively as Transfers and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is sometimes referred to as a Transferee"). No consent to any Transfer shall constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Section, and all subsequent Transfers may be made only with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but which consent shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

A. Permitted Transfers . The assignment or subletting by Tenant of this Lease or the Premises to (i) a parent wholly owning Tenant or subsidiary wholly owned by Tenant, (ii) any entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated, or (iii) a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of Tenant (all such persons or entities being sometimes herein referred to as "Permitted Transferees") shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Section (hence, the aforesaid events shall not be subject to obtaining Landlord’s prior consent; Landlord shall not have any right to receive any transfer premium in connection therewith; and Landlord shall not have any recapture rights), provided in all instances that:

(a) any such Affiliate was not formed as a subterfuge to avoid the obligations of this Section or Lease;

(b) Tenant gives Landlord prior written notice of any such assignment or sublease;
