NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual covenants herein contained and each act performed hereunder by the parties, and for other good and valuable consideration, Landlord and Tenant hereby enter into this Amendment.
1. Incorporation of Recitals. The above recitals are hereby incorporated into this Amendment as if fully set forth herein.

This Lease shall be effective and enforceable between Landlord and Tenant upon the Effective Date.”
