1.                                       Recitals.

 

a.                                       Lessor and Lessee are parties to that certain Standard Multi-Tenant Office Lease – Gross dated April 11, 2008, and that certain Addendum to Standard Multi-Tenant Office Lease – Gross dated April 11, 2008 (“Lease”) whereby Lessee leased from Lessor approximately 42,948 rentable square feet consisting of suite numbers 100, 106 and 200 at the building located at 1811 Aston Avenue, Carlsbad, California (“Building”).

3.                                       Base Rent for Suite 103.                  Lessee shall not have an obligation to pay monthly Base Rent for Suite 103 for the period from October 1, 2008 through January 1, 2009, but all other obligations of Lessee required under Paragraph 51 of the Lease shall be applicable to Suite 103.  Commencing January 1, 2009, the component of monthly Base Rent for the Premises applicable to Suite 103 shall be $12,087.00 and shall be subject to increase to the same extent as Base Rent for the other portions of the Premises on January 1 of each subsequent year commencing January 1, 2010.  Consequently, the
