Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all liabilities for any other commissions or other compensation or charges claimed by any broker or agent based on dealings with Tenant.

3. Defined Terms; Conflict. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given in the Lease. If there is any conflict between the terms, conditions and provisions of this Amendment and the terms and conditions of the Lease, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Amendment shall prevail.


4. No Further Amendment. This Amendment sets forth the entire agreement of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior discussions and understandings between them. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, all terms, covenants and provisions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect and are hereby expressly ratified and confirmed.

5. Miscellaneous. This Amendment may not be amended or rescinded in any manner except by an instrument in writing signed by a duly authorized officer or representative of each party hereto.

If any of the provisions of this Amendment be found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be stricken and the remainder of this Amendment shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect unless striking such provision shall materially alter the intention of the parties. No waiver of any right under this Amendment shall be effective unless contained in a writing signed by a duly authorized officer or representative of the party sought to be charged with the waiver and no waiver of any right arising from any breach or failure to perform shall be deemed to be a waiver of any future right or of any other right arising under this Amendment. Tenant waives any right it may have to require the provisions of this Amendment to be construed against the party who drafted it.

6. Authority. Each person signing this Amendment on behalf of the respective parties represents and warrants that he or she is authorized to execute and deliver this Amendment, and that this Amendment will thereby become binding upon Landlord and Tenant, respectively.
