1. The term of the Lease is hereby extended for a Second Renewal Term
of five (5) years, commencing April 1, 2011, and terminating March 31, 2016,
at 11:59 p.m., unless further extended, renewed or previously terminated, as
set forth in the Lease.

Term in sums of Eight Thousand Twenty and 83/100 Dollars ($8,020.83) on
the first day of each month during the Second Renewal Term, commencing
April 1, 2011."
3. Article 25 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and the
following substituted therefor:
"25. Extensions and Renewals.
A. Extensions. It is hereby mutually agreed that in the
event Lessee has not given the "Preliminary Renewal Notice" as defined
in subparagraph 25(B), or has given the Preliminary Renewal Notice but
has withdrawn the same, Lessee may terminate this Lease at the end of
the Second Renewal Term and any subsequent renewal term or extension
term, by giving to Lessor written notice at least six (6) months prior
thereto, and Lessor may terminate this Lease at the end of the Second
Renewal Term and any subsequent renewal or extension thereof by giving
to Lessee written notice at least five (5) months prior thereto (each
an "Expiration Notice"); but in default of an Expiration Notice given
by either party in the manner provided herein, this Lease shall
continue for an extension term of one (1) year, commencing the day
after the expiration of the then current renewal term or extension
term, as the case may be, upon the terms and conditions in force
immediately prior to the expiration of the then-current renewal term or
extension term, as the case may be (except for the Minimum Annual Rent,
which shall be as computed in subparagraph 25(C)(iii)), and so on from
year to year, unless terminated by the giving of an Expiration Notice
within the times and in the manner aforesaid. In the event that Lessee
or Lessor shall have given an Expiration Notice and Lessee shall fail
or refuse to completely vacate the Premises and restore the same to the
condition required in this Lease on or before the date designated in
the Expiration Notice (the "Expiration Date"), then it is expressly
agreed that Lessor, by notice to Lessee given no later than forty-five
(45) days after the Expiration Date, shall have the option either:
(i) to disregard the Expiration Notice as having no
force and effect, whereupon the Expiration Notice shall be null and
void, ab initio, as if never given; or
(ii) treat Lessee as Holding Over, in accordance with
paragraph 2(B) of the Lease.
All powers granted to Lessor by this Lease shall be exercised and all
obligations imposed upon Lessee by this Lease shall be performed by Lessee
during the Second Renewal Term, as well as during any subsequent extension
or renewal terms of this Lease.
Notwithstanding anything set forth in subparagraph 25(A) to the
contrary, if the term of this Lease is not previously terminated, the term
of this Lease shall end absolutely, without further notice, at 11:59 p.m.
on the day previous to the 29th anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date
set forth in the Lease.
B. Option to Renew.
(i) Provided Lessor has not previously given Lessee a notice
under paragraph 23(P) hereof, and Lessee is not in default under the terms
of this Lease at the end of the term of the Second Renewal Term, Lessee
shall have the right and privilege, at its election, to renew the term of
this Lease for an additional period of five (5) years commencing upon the
day after the expiration of the term of the Second Renewal Term and
terminating five (5) years thereafter without further notice. Such
five-year period is hereinafter referred to as the "Third Renewal Term".
In order to exercise said option, Lessee must give Lessor
written notice of its election to renew ("Preliminary Renewal Notice") at
least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the term of the Second
Renewal Term. Said Third Renewal Term shall be on the same terms and
conditions as herein provided for the Second Renewal Term except that the
Minimum Annual Rent shall be calculated as set forth in the following
paragraph. In the event Lessee does not exercise its option to renew
within the time set forth, the provisions of subparagraph 25(A) shall
apply.
C. Computation of Minimum Annual Rent in the event of
Extension/Renewal.
In the event of exercise of the option to renew this Lease by
Lessee in accordance with the terms of subparagraph B, commencing with the
rental payment due on the first day of the Third Renewal Term, the Minimum
Annual Rent shall be the greater of the Minimum Annual Rent set forth in
this Lease for the Second Renewal Term, or the fair market rental. The fair
market rental shall be determined as follows:
(i) Within fifteen (15) days from receipt of the Preliminary
Renewal Notice, Lessor shall advise Lessee of the fair market rental of the
Premises as of the commencement of the Third Renewal Term, by notice
hereunder. In the event Lessee is dissatisfied with the fair market rental
as specified by Lessor, it may withdraw the Preliminary Renewal Notice, by
notice to Lessor, given at least five (5) months one (1) day prior to the
end of the Second Renewal Term.
(ii) The new Minimum Annual Rent, effective on or after the first
day of the Third Renewal Term and for the balance of the Third Renewal Term
shall be the greater of the fair market rental set forth in Lessor's notice
or the Minimum Annual Rent as set forth in this Lease for the Second Renewal
Term. This Minimum Annual Rent shall be payable in equal monthly
installments commencing on the first day of the Third Renewal Term and on
the first day of each month thereafter during the Third Renewal Term.
(iii) For extensions of this Lease under subparagraph 25(A), the
Minimum Annual Rent during a one-year extension term shall be the greater of
the Minimum Annual Rent for the previous Lease Year or the fair market
rental for the Premises as of the commencement of the extension term, as
determined by Lessor, payable in monthly installments on the first day of
each month during the extension term."
