3.“As-Is” Delivery.  Subject to compliance by Landlord with its repair and maintenance obligations in the Lease, Tenant accepts the Premises for the Term as extended by this Amendment in its “AS-IS” condition.  Landlord shall not be required to perform any demolition work or tenant finish work in the Premises nor to provide any allowances therefor.      

4.Rent.  Rent shall remain payable as set forth in the Lease through October 31, 2020.  Thereafter and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the Annual Rent and Monthly Installment of Rent for the Premises during the Term, as extended by this Amendment, shall be as follows:

7.Landlord Remedies in the Event of a Default.  Section 19.3 in the Original Lease, as amended, is further amended so that the Concession Amount as therein defined shall include the aggregate of all amounts expended by Landlord for brokers’ commissions payable by reason of this Amendment.
