adding with the following:
INSURANCE
During the life of this Lease, from and after March 28, 1995,
Lessee shall provide, pay for, and maintain with insurance companies
satisfactory to the Lessor, the types of insurance described herein.
(a) Insurance Requirements. All insurance shall be from
responsible insurance companies eligible to do business in the State of Florida.
All Liability Policies shall provide that the Lessor is an Additional Insured as
to the operations of Lessee under this Lease and shall also provide the
Severability of Interest Provision. The insurance coverages and the limits
required must be evidenced by properly executed Certificates of Insurance on
forms which are to be furnished by the Lessor. The Certificate must be
personally manually signed
3
by the Authorized Representative of the insurance company shown in the
Certificate with proof that he/she is an authorized representative thereof. In
addition, certified, true and exact copies of all insurance policies required
shall be provided the Lessor, on a timely basis, if requested by the Lessor. The
required policies of insurance shall be performable in Hillsborough County,
Florida, and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Florida.
Thirty (30) days prior written notice by registered or
certified mail shall be given the Lessor of any cancellation, intent not to
renew, or reduction in the policies' coverage amount in the application of the
Aggregate Limits Provisions. In the event of a reduction in any Aggregate Limit,
Lessee shall take immediate steps to have it reinstated to not less than the
minimum amount specified in the Lease. If at any time the Lessor requests a
written statement from the insurance company as to any impairments to the
Aggregate Limit, Lessee shall promptly authorize and have delivered such
statement to the Lessor. Lessee shall make up any impairment when known to it to
the extent necessary to maintain the minimum Aggregate Limit specified above.
Lessee authorizes the Lessor and its Insurance Consultant to confirm all
information furnished the Lessor, as to its compliance with its Bond and
Insurance Requirements, with Lessee's insurance agents, brokers, surety and
insurance carriers. All insurance coverages of Lessee shall be primary to any
insurance or self-insurance program carried by the Lessor for this Lease.
No occupancy of the Premises shall commence at the Premises

Assignment of the Lease. In addition, Lessee covenants that in the event of
cancellation or non-renewal of any such policy, or if any such policy is
replaced with a new policy that does not have an effective commencement date
which is the same as the date of the Assignment, then Lessee shall obtain such
coverage as shall be necessary for the discovery period for insurance claims
(Tail Coverage) under such non-renewal or cancelled policy to be not less than
the applicable Statutes of Limitations.
4
All of the required insurance coverages shall be issued as
required and policies shall be endorsed, where necessary, to comply with the
minimum requirements contained herein. Renewal Certificates of Insurance on the
Lessor's form must be provided the Lessor ten (10) days prior to expiration of
current coverages so that there shall be no interruption in Lessee's occupancy
due to lack of proof of the insurance coverages required of Lessee in this
Lease. Should at any time Lessee not provide or maintain the insurance coverages
required in this Lease, the lessor may terminate or suspend this Lease.
The amounts and types of insurance shall conform to the
following minimum requirements with the use of Insurance Service Office (ISO)
policies, forms, and endorsements or broader where applicable. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the wording of all policies, forms and endorsements must be
acceptable to the Lessor.

shall exist. However, Lessee may limit its liability and obligations under the
environmental provisions of this Lease by obtaining environmental audits of the
Leased Premises before the effective date of the Assignment and after the
Termination of the Lease Term, at Lessee's sole expense, prepared by
environmental consultants acceptable to the Lessor (which acceptable consultants
shall include Ash Environmental Engineering, Inc., St. Petersburg, Florida), to
determine if Lessee has caused any Hazardous Substances to be released or
disposed of in, on, about, or under the Leased Premises in violation of any
Environmental Law, Environmental Regulation, order of an Environmental
Regulator, or any permit issued by an Environmental Regulator. Lessee shall
provide copies of all such environmental audits to the Lessor. In the event that
the environmental audits substantiate that Lessee has not caused any Hazardous
Substances to be released or disposed of in, on, about, or under the Leased
Premises in violation of any Environmental Law, Environmental Regulation, order
of an Environmental Regulator, or any permit issued by an Environmental
Regulator, then Lessee's obligations under the environmental provisions of this
Lease shall cease.
(g) Radon Gas. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas
that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may
present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon
that exceed Federal and State guidelines have been found in buildings in
Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be
obtained from your County Public Health Unit. Each party hereto disclaims any
liability for any health risks incurred by the other, its employees, and/or its
invitees as a result of, or claimed to be a result of, radon at the Leased
Premises.

follows:
23. Lessee shall have one successive option to renew and

b. The "in lieu of dockage charge" shall be suspended
until the relocation of the VMS has been completed
and will be reinstated as provided for in Article 4
(b) of this Lease Amendment.

when charges to the Lessee for the use of the VMS
will be reinstated, and will be independent of the
Lessee's relocation of its pipelines.
d. When the VMS is operational at the site east of Berth
24, the Lessee's berthing limits shall be the western
boundary limit of Berth 24, which is the western
boundary of the Lessee's lease area, and the eastern
boundary of the Lessee's lease area, with both
boundaries extended into the Port Xxxxxx Terminal
Channel.
e. During that period of time pending the completion of
the relocation of the VMS, Lessee shall have the

barges, free of charges. Such use is on an
as-available basis, subject to operational activities
by revenue-producing vessels of said Lessee or other
tenants of the Lessor.

is no expense to the Lessor, Lessee may tie its
bunkering barges to other Lessor facilities without
charge.
7. The Lessor and Lessee have agreed to cooperate on a project to

associated facilities are in place and certified by
the railroad (CSX) and upon receipt of appropriate
invoices.
e. Responsibility for maintenance of the spur track and
associated equipment and facilities shall be stated
in a separate agreement between the Lessor and
Lessee.

the Lessor with the Lessor responsible for the

AGREEMENT OF LEASE
THIS AGREEMENT OF LEASE, made as of the 16th day of December 1976, by
and between PORT XXXXXX INC.; A Florida corporation, herein called "LESSOR", and
EASTERN SEABOARD PETROLEUM COMPANY, INC., a Florida corporation, herein called
"LESSEE",
WITNESSETH;
That in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein
contained, the Lessor does hereby lease unto the Lessee the real property
situate at Port Xxxxxx, southeast of the City of Tampa, in Hillsborough County,
Florida, described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof.
TOGETHER with an easement or easements for the non-exclusive use of:
(a) The East-West dock known as Berth 24 located on the south side of
Port Xxxxxx channel as indicated on the sketch marked Exhibit "B" and attached
hereto, together with the bollards and other appurtenances to such dock and the
private channel of Lessor connecting the same with the main ship channel of
Hillsborough Bay.
(b) The wharf area adjacent to the aforesaid dock outlined on Exhibit
"B" in red.
(c) Easements for utilities and for ingress and egress to and from the
aforesaid dock and wharf area over roads, railroads and other rights-of-way
from time to time designated by the Lessor necessary or convenient for the
leased premises to be operated by the Lessee as a petroleum products terminal.
The real property and easements hereinbefore described are hereinafter
called "the leased premises."
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above-described premises, together with the
tenements, hereditaments, appurtenances and easements thereunto belonging upon
the terms and conditions hereinafter stated for a term of ten (10) years,
commencing on the 16th
day of December, 1976, and extending to and including the 15th day of December,
1986.
1. Lessee agrees to pay Lessor as rental for leased premises and use of
wharfage facilities and the easements hereinabove described the following.
A. Monthly land rent at the rate of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars
($250.00) per acre in the leased premises; plus
B. Wharfage for products brought into the leased premises from
vessel, truck, railcar or pipeline as follows:
$0.02 per barrel for the first 2,000,000 barrels
$0.015 per barrel for the second 2,000,000 barrels
$0.01 per barrel over 4,000,000 barrels.
C. Lessee agrees that minimum wharfage will aggregate a minimum of
Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) per acre in any contract year. If at the end
of any contract year, Lessee has unloaded insufficient volume of product to
bring the minimum wharfage to a sum equal to Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00
times the number of acres in the leased premises (and remitted therefor), it
will within the following fifteen days remit an additional amount sufficient to
bring the annual payment for such contract year up to a total equal to Three
Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) times the number of acres in the leased premises.
D. In the event the docking facility on Port Xxxxxx Channel becomes
unusable for more than 96 hours through no fault of the Lessee, its agents or
employees, or by vessels serving the Lessee, the annual minimum wharfage shall
be reduced by the ratio of hours the docking facility is unusable to the total
hours in the contract year. This reduction in minimum wharfage shall not alter
the demurrage provisions of other paragraphs in this contract.
2. In addition to the amounts hereinabove specified, the Lessor will
charge dockage to or against the various vessels employed in the movement of
materials to and from the leased premises at a rate not greater than the then
current rates estab-
-2-
lished by the applicable tariff of the Tampa Port Authority. In the event the
Tampa Port Authority ceases to publish its tariffs, then the dockage charge will
be established by mutual agreement of the parties for the balance of any lease
term or extensions thereof.
3. The leased premises shall be used solely and only for the storage
and handling of petroleum products. The premises shall not be used for other
purposes except upon the prior written consent of Lessor. Lessee shall have the
right to place or install for its exclusive use, on the leased premises
unloading facilities, tanks, scales, boilers, pipelines, and other fixtures and
equipment, including office buildings and appurtenant structures for the conduct
of its business thereon. Any facilities placed within the wharf area shall be so
placed and maintained as to facilitate the joint use of said wharf area by the
Lessee and the Lessor or its licensees or other tenants. -- All buildings and
appurtenances erected or installed on the leased premises shall be properly
designed and built to meet all applicable building codes and shall be maintained
in good order and condition.
Lessee shall not engage in general stevedoring but may charge other
tenants, present and future, of Port Xxxxxx, Inc. an appropriate fee for the use
of any facilities, pipelines, or appurtenances which Lessee has placed on the
leased premises and easements for its exclusive use; the written consent of the
Lessor shall be obtained prior to enacting any such agreement.
4. Lessor covenants and agrees to maintain the dock, constructed in
accord with the plans marked Exhibit C and attached hereto, as well as a berth
and channel to the main ship channel of Hillsborough Bay having a depth of
thirty-four (34) feet at mean low water; provided, however, the Lessee shall be
responsible for any damage to any such facilities by its agents or employees or
by vessels serving the Lessee.
5. In the event any vessel owned by or under the control or direction
of the Lessee sinks or becomes disabled for
-3-
reasons other than those caused by Lessor at any dock, channel, slip, turning
basin, or fairway located at Port Xxxxxx, the Lessee will promptly and with all
reasonable speed refloat and remove said vessel and all debris so as not to
interfere with the use of any such mooring facility or channel, or otherwise
impede safe navigation to and from Port Xxxxxx facilities; provided, however,
that nothing herein contained shall prevent Lessee from recovering its costs and
damages from the party causing, or contributing to the cause, of such sinking or
disablement.
6. This lease is made upon the express condition that the Lessor shall
be free from all liabilities and claims for damages and suits for or by reason
of any injury or injuries to any person or persons or property of any kind
whatsoever, whether the person or property of Lessee, its agents, or employees,
or third persons, from any cause or causes whatsoever while in or upon the
leased premises or any part thereof during the term of this agreement or
occasioned by any occupancy or use of the leased premises or any activity
carried on by Lessee in connection therewith; provided, however, Lessee shall
not be liable for the negligence of the Lessor or any of its agents, guests,
servants or employees. Each party covenants and agrees to indemnify and save
harmless the other party from all liabilities, charges, expenses (including
attorneys' fees) and costs on account of or by reason of any such injuries,
liabilities, claims, suits or losses however occurring or damages growing out of
same, for which the parties are liable hereunder.
7. The Lessee agrees to procure and to constantly maintain in force, at
its expense, comprehensive general liability and property damage insurance, in
companies satisfactory to the Lessor, the policies thereof to name the Lessor as
an additional assured and to have limits of not less than $500,000.00 for death
or injury of any one person and $1,000,000.00 for death or injury to persons
from any one accident, and property damage
-4-
of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).
8. Except as provided in paragraph 4 above, the Lessee shall keep the
leased premises and all improvements erected thereon at all times in good
condition and repair, shall pay all water, gas, electric, and other utility
expenses incident to the occupation and use of the leased premises, and shall
pay all taxes and assessments levied upon or assessed against the land described
on Exhibit "A" hereof and any improvements thereon during the primary term
hereunder, or any extension or renewal thereof.
9. The Lessee shall not permit the leased premises or any improvements
thereon or the estate of the Lessee in the same to become subject to any lien,
charge, or encumbrance whatsoever and shall indemnify and keep indemnified the
Lessor against all such liens, charges, and encumbrances; it being expressly
stipulated that the Lessee shall have no authority, express or implied, to
create any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the leased premises or the
improvements now or hereafter located thereon or upon the estate of the Lessee
in the same. Nothing herein contained shall restrict Lessee from selling the
facilities constructed by it on the leased premises; and in the event of such a
sale, the purchaser thereof shall be relieved of any obligations hereunder, but
Lessee shall continue to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof.
10. The Lessee shall permit the Lessor and its agents at all reasonable
times to enter upon the leased premises to view the condition of the premises
and any improvements thereon.
11. The Lessee shall not make or suffer any use or occupancy of the
leased premises contrary to any law or ordinance now or hereafter in force, and
shall strictly comply with all laws, ordinances, and rules of any governmental
authorities, bodies, or commissions having jurisdiction. The Lessee shall
conduct its business and operations on the leased premises in such a manner so
as not to create a nuisance, or interfere with
-5-
or cause any damages or inconvenience to other tenants of the Lessor, their
agents or employees.
12. The Lessee agrees that if by reason of its failure to perform any
of the covenants or provisions of this lease, the Lessor shall be compelled to
do so or shall do any act which requires the payment of money, then the sum or
sums so paid or required to be paid, together with the legal interest and any
penalties and costs and attorney's fees shall be considered as so much
additional rental and if not paid by Lessee to Lessor upon ten (10) days written
demand then the Lessor shall have the same rights and remedies as in the case of
the failure of the Lessee to pay the rental.
13. The Lessee shall indemnify the Lessor against all costs and
expenses, including counsel fees, lawfully and reasonably incurred in
enforcing the terms and conditions of this lease, or in the defense of any
action or proceeding involving this lease, or in discharging the premises from
any charge, lien or encumbrance, or in obtaining possession after default of the
Lessee or the determination of this lease.
14. Upon the expiration of this lease or any extension or renewal
hereof, or upon any earlier termination of this lease, Lessee shall yield up and
surrender the leased premises in the same condition as they were at the time it
originally took possession thereof, reasonable fair wear and tear excepted. The
Lessee is specifically given the right at termination of this lease if not in
default, to remove from said premises all improvements, machinery, equipment and
other personal property placed thereon by Lessee, but, if Lessee removes any
part of a permanent improvement or structure, the Lessee must remove the whole
of such improvement or structure and restore the site upon which structure or
improvement was located to its original condition. Any property remaining on the
leased premises ninety (90) days after the termination of this lease shall
become the property of the Lessor without process of law, but this provision
-6-
shall not limit the Lessor's right under the preceding sentence to require the
Lessee to complete the removal of any improvement or structure theretofore
partially removed by the Lessee, and should the Lessee fail to so restore the
premises, the Lessor may do so at the expense of the Lessee.
15. The Lessor covenants that the Lessee, on paying the rental herein
reserved and performing the covenants on its part to be performed, shall and may
peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the leased premises during the term
hereof; provided, however, should the Lessee fail to make the rental payments
hereby required and the same shall remain unpaid after thirty (30) days'
written notice to pay the same, or if the Lessee shall neglect or fail to
perform or observe any of the covenants contained in this instrument which are
on its part to be performed and after thirty (30) days' written notice the same
have not been performed or observed, or if the leasehold interest shall be taken
on execution or other process of law and such proceedings are not dismissed and
the premises returned to the Lessee within sixty (60) days, or if the Lessee
shall petition to be or shall be declared a bankrupt or insolvent according to
law, or if any assignment shall be made of its property for the benefit of
creditors, then and in any of the said cases the Lessor lawfully may,
immediately or at any time thereafter, and without further notice or demand,
enter into and upon the said premises or any part thereof in the name of the
whole, and repossess the same as its own fee simple estate, and expel the Lessee
and those claiming under it, and remove their effects (forcibly, if necessary)
without being taken or deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without
prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for arrears of rental or
preceding breach of covenant, and that upon entry as aforesaid this lease shall
be terminated; and the Lessee covenants and agrees that, notwithstanding the
termination of this lease and possession regained by the Lessor, it will be and
remain liable to the Lessor, after
-7-
such possession regained, for any loss sustained by the Lessor on account of the
premises being let for the remainder of the original term or any extension
thereof for a less sum than before, or at the election of the Lessor, the Lessee
will, on and after such termination and so long as the demised premises have not
been relet, pay to the Lessor, at the times and in the proportions herein named
for the payment of rental, a sum equal to the rental and other payments herein
named as liquidated damages for so much of the unexpired term as expires with
each such payment, or at the election of the Lessor made upon the termination as
aforesaid, or after such payment of liquidated damages as hereinbefore
provided, the Lessee will pay to the Lessor as damages such a sum as at the time
of such termination represents the difference between the rental value of the
leased premises for the remainder of the said term and the rental and other
payments herein named. No waiver by the Lessor of any covenant contained in this
lease shall be a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same covenant.
16. Neither the Lessor nor the Lessee shall be deemed to be in default
on account of any failure or delay of performance of any obligation hereunder
when such failure or delay shall be due to any cause or causes beyond its
reasonable control; provided that the party so failing or delaying shall
exercise due diligence to try to remove promptly such cause or causes, excepting
only disputes involving the settlement of strikes or other labor disputes;
provided further, however, that this paragraph 16 shall not relieve Lessee of
the obligation to remit the sums provided in paragraph 1 of the agreement. In
the event Lessee's inability to use the leased premises is due to Lessor's labor
disputes, strikes or other labor difficulty, then Lessee's obligations under
paragraph 1(b) and 1(c) shall be reduced pro rata for the period of
non-utilization caused by Lessor.
17. All notices to the Lessee shall be sent by registered or certified
mail addressed to Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxx 0000, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, 00000, or at such
other address as the Lessee shall designate in writing.
-8-
18. All notices to the Lessor shall be sent by registered mail to the
Lessor at Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxx "X", Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, 00000, or at such other address
as the Lessor shall designate in writing. Notwithstanding any provisions in this
lease to the contrary concerning modifications, a change in address may be
effected by a registered or certified letter sent by either party to the other.
19. All payments to the Lessor under the terms of this lease shall be
made at the address designated for notice to the Lessor.
20. Lessor has good right and authority to enter into this lease and
shall warrant and defend its right to do so. Lessor further warrants that there
are no liens, charges, or encumbrances upon the leased premises, except current
taxes, and that it will indemnify and keep indemnified the Lessee against any
and all future liens, charges, and encumbrances, other than taxes to be paid by
Lessee as hereinbefore provided.
21. This Lease may not be assigned by the Lessee without prior written
permission of the Lessor, which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld.
22. The Lessor owns vacant land west of the leased premises which are
[illegible] for future terminals of liquid products. Lessee [illegible]
hereinbefore mentioned are for the non-exclusive use on a berth-in-turn basis;
except that Lessee shall not have a permit for the unloading of more than one
vessel of any other tenant. In order to facilitate availability of the berth,
Lessee will furnish Lessor a schedule of expected vessel movements affecting its
terminal, and, in any case, will notify Lessor at least seventy-two (72) hours
prior to each arrival or at the time of Lessee's vessel sails from its last port
of call, whichever is later.
Lessor will permit no use of the berth by vessels requiring more than
thirty-six (36) hours to load or unload and will require that each vessel
unloading or loading at the berth to expeditiously discharge at the maximum
capacity of the vessel
-9-
compatible with the terminal facilities and to vacate the berth as soon as
possible after discharge.
In the event Lessee's vessel is delayed as a result of a previous
vessel occupying the berth for more than thirty-six (36) hours, or, in the
event Lessor fails to make available the berth as hereinabove provided, Lessor
will pay the full demurrage charges incurred by the Lessee as a result of the
delay.
Lessee further agrees that it will expeditiously start and complete its
unloading at the maximum pumping capacity of the vessel compatible with the
terminal facilities and vacate the berth as soon as possible after discharge
upon the request of the Lessor. If Lessee fails to vacate the berth after
thirty-six (36) hours as provided above, Lessee will pay to Lessor any demurrage
Lessor is obligated to pay other tenants using the berth due to Lessee's failure
to vacate.
23. Lessee shall have two successive options of renewing and extending
this lease, each such renewal and extension to be for a period of ten years
beginning with the date of termination of the preceding ten year lease. Each
such option shall be exercised by giving written notice to the lessor no less
than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the lease then in effect. Each
such lease or extension entered into pursuant to an exercise of such option
shall be on the same terms and conditions as those expressed herein, except that
the rental rate, wharfage and minimum wharfage, shall be increased or decreased
for the next ensuing ten years by an amount calculated by multiplying the base
rental set forth in paragraph 1 above by a fraction whose numerator is The
Consumer Price Index, U. S. City Average, All Items (Base Year 1967) published
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, for the third month
prior to expiration of such 10-year period whose denominator shall be said
consumer price index (U. S. City Average, All Items) for the first month of the
original term of this lease. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics change the
manner of computing The Consumer Price Index, the Bureau shall be requested to
furnish a conversion factor designated to adjust the new Index to the one
previously
-10-
in use, and adjustment to the new Index shall be made on the basis of such
conversion factor. Should the publication of the Consumer Price Index be
discontinued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, then such other Index as may be
published by such Bureau most nearly approaching said discontinued Index shall
be used in making the adjustments herein provided. Should the Bureau discontinue
the publication of an Index approximating the Index herein contemplated, then
such Index as may be published by another United States Government agency as
most nearly approximates the Index herein first above mentioned shall govern and
be substituted as the Index to be used, subject to the application of an
appropriate conversion factor to be furnished by the governmental agency
publishing the adopted Index. In the event of any valid delay caused by seeking
the proper adjustment for rental payments, as herein provided, Lessee shall
continue paying the rental under the last preceding rental adjustment as herein
provided, until such time as said proper adjustment has been made, at which time
an adjustment shall be made retroactive to the beginning of the year in which
the adjustment should have been made.
In any event, the land rent, wharfage, and annual minimum payment shall
be no less than specified in Paragraph 1 above.
24. The Lessor agrees to provide and maintain a road for Lessee's
non-exclusive use from the southeast corner of the leased property described in
Exhibit "A" to Highway U.S. 41. Such road shall be suitable for the two-way
traffic of the largest trucks allowed on State of Florida highways. Should
lessor dedicate said road to public usage, and a governmental entity accept the
road for maintenance providing lessee with ingress and egress, then lessor shall
be relieved of its responsibility.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused these presents to be
properly executed by their proper officers

acres for purposes hereof; plus
(ii) Wharfage for petroleum products brought into and taken from
Lessee's terminal located on the portion of the Leased Premises

minimum of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) per acre in the portion of the
Leased Premises described in Exhibit A to the Agreement of Lease (which
constitutes 10.24 acres for purposes hereof) in any Lease Year. For purposes of
this calculation a Lease Year shall be deemed to begin on the 16 day of December
and continue through the 15 day of the following December during the term of
this lease.

Premises by vessel: the rate shall be one-half the rate in effect in paragraph 1

bring the wharfage to a sum equal to the minimum set forth in Part (ii) (A) or
(B), as applicable, Lessee will within the following fifteen (15) days remit an
additional amount sufficient to bring the annual payment for such Lease Year or
Amendment Year, whichever is applicable, up to said minimum.

then ninety-six hours through fault of the Lessor, its agents or employees, the

Paragraph 2, the Lessor will charge dockage to or against the various vessels
employed in the movement of petroleum products to and from the docking
facilities described on the sketch marked Exhibit B to the Agreement of Lease at
a rate not greater than the then current rates established by the applicable

agreement of the parties for the balance of any lease term or extensions
thereof.
(b) In addition to the amounts specified in Paragraph 1 and in Part (a)
of this Paragraph 2, Lessor will charge, in lieu of dockage relative to the

5. Paragraph 23 of the Agreement Lease is deleted and replaced with the
following:
"23 Lessee shall have two successive options of renewing and
extending this Lease, including this Amendment, each such renewal and
extension to be for a period of ten (10) years beginning with the date
of termination of the preceding ten (10) year lease. Each such option
shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Lessor no less than
ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the term then in effect.
Alternatively, Lessee may elect to exercise this option as to the
Leased Premises described in the Agreement of Lease prior to change by
this Amendment and in such case the extension shall not apply to the
Leased Premises described above at Paragraph 1 of this Amendment and in
such case or in case of cancellation by Lessor in accordance with
Paragraph 7 of this Amendment, Lessee's obligation to make any further
payments as described at Subparagraphs l(a)(ii)(B) and 2(b) of the
Agreement of Lease as amended hereby shall terminate at the end of the
Lease Term then in effect or at the time of cancellation as applicable.
Except to the extent otherwise provided immediately above in this
section, each such lease or extension entered into pursuant to an
exercise of such option shall be on the same terms and conditions as
those expressed herein, except that the rental rate, wharfages and
minimum wharfages, described in Paragraph 1 of the Agreement of Lease
as amended hereby shall be increased or decreased for the next ensuing
ten years by an amount calculated by multiplying the base amount for
which the adjustment is being calculated as set forth at Paragraph 1 of
the Agreement of Lease as amended hereby by a fraction whose numerator
is The Consumer Price Index, U.S. City Average All Items (Base Year
1967) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of
Labor, for the third month prior to expiration of the ten year lease
period then in effect, and (a) whose denominator shall be said Consumer
Price Index (U.S. City Average All Items) for the first month of the
original term of this lease insofar as calculation of the increase or
decrease of the amounts set forth at Subparagraphs (a)(i), (ii)(A) and
(ii)(B) of Paragraph 1 of the Agreement of Lease as amended hereby.
Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics change the manner of computing
the Consumer Price Index, the Bureau shall be requested to furnish a
conversion factor designated to adjust the new index to the one
previously in use, and adjustment to the new index will be made on the
basis of such conversion factor. Should the publication of the Consumer
Price Index be discontinued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, then
such other index as may be published by said Bureau most nearly
approaching said discontinued index shall be used in making the
adjustments herein provided.
6.
Should the Bureau discontinue the publication of an index
approximating the index herein contemplated, then such index as may be
published by another United States Government Agency as most nearly
approximates the index herein first above mentioned shall govern and be
substituted as the index to be used, subject to the application of an
appropriate conversion factor to be furnished by the governmental
agency publishing the adopted index.
In the event of any valid delay caused by seeking the proper
adjustment for rental payments as herein provided, Lessee shall
continue paying the rental under the last preceding rental adjustment
as herein provided, until such time as said proper adjustment has been
made, at which time adjustment shall be made retroactive to the
beginning of the year in which the adjustment should have been made.
In any event, the land rent, wharfage and annual minimum
wharfage payment shall be no less than specified in Paragraph 1 of the
Agreement of Lease as amended hereby.
6. The lease term of the portion of the Leased Premises described in
this Amendment shall commence as of the first day of the first month after the
date the Vessel Mooring System has been completed in accordance with the
provisions of this Amendment and turned over to Lessee for Lessee's use and
shall run, subject to the termination provisions and opt[on rights of this
Amendment, with the term of the Agreement of Lease.
If the Lease Term of the portion of the Leased Premises described in
this Amendment has not begun, for any reason whatsoever except the default of
the Lessee in performance of its obligations under this Amendment, within one
year after the date hereof, Lessee shall have the right, on thirty (30) days
written notice to Lessor, to cancel this Amendment.
7. Lessor specifically reserves the right to terminate this Amendment
for the portion of the Leased Premises described in this Amendment by giving
Lessee six months prior written notice of such termination where Lessor must
build a deepwater dock for a prospective lessee or purchaser in order to lease
or sell the land immediately to the south of the Vessel Mooring System.
8. The fourth sentence of paragraph 3 of the Agreement of Lease which
sentence reads 'Any facilities placed within the wharf area shall be so placed
and maintained to facilitate the joint use of said wharf area by the Lessee and
the lessor or its licensees or other tenants' as applied to the Vessel Mooring
System shall mean that the facilities placed on the Vessel Mooring System by
Lessee shall not unreasonably hinder or prevent the use of the wharf area
adjacent to the east west dock known as Berth 24 by both Lessee and Lessor or
Lessor's licensees or other tenants as such use is contemplated by this
Agreement of Lease.
7.
9. In the event of termination of this Amendment pursuant to Paragraph 7
of this Amendment or in the event of expiration of the term of this Amendment
without termination of, or expiration of the term of the Agreement of Lease,
Lessee and Lessor shall be relieved of all obligations under this Amendment, and
the Agreement of Lease, unamended by this Amendment, shall remain in full force
and effect.
10. All the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement of Lease,
not amended or modified herein, shall apply to the Leased Premises described in
this Amendment as fully and completely as if such terms, provisions and
conditions were set forth in this Amendment.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement the
day and year first above written.
