(b) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to make any improvements to Suite G in connection with this Amendment, and Tenant accepts Suite G in its current “AS IS” condition.

3. Term.

(a) The Term for Suite G shall commence on the date (the “Suite G Commencement Date”) that is the later of: (i) the date Landlord obtains full legal possession of Suite G, free of any occupants or tenancies; or (ii) sixty (60) days after written notice from Tenant to Landlord that the Suite G Commencement Date is requested.
