2. Paragraph 3 of the Lease is hereby deleted and the following is inserted in

3. Tenant may renew this Lease for two additional periods of twenty-five years

there shall be no right to renew this beyond September 30, 2033. Tenant shall
give notice of its intention to renew the term of this Lease not less than
eighteen months prior to the end of the then current lease term.”

3. The following shall be added to the Lease as paragraph 29:

“29. Tenant has heretofore agreed to act as agent for Landlord for the purpose
of making certain physical improvements to the demised premises. Such
improvements were undertaken commencing on January 1, 1961, and shall be fully
completed by June 30, 1964. The improvements include, among other things, the
conversion of all passenger elevators in the demised premises to automatic
operation, the installation of additional electric service and the installation
of additional air conditioning. Tenant has heretofore submitted to the Landlord,
and Landlord has approved plans and specifications for all of such work.

Landlord hereby agrees to pay the cost of such work up to a maximum of
$1,574,134.86 upon the later of either the completion of such work or June 30,
1964. In the event that the cost of such improvements shall exceed the

are paid for by Landlord shall become the property of Landlord immediately upon
their construction or installation and shall be subject to the terms of this
lease.

Tenant acknowledges that the aforementioned sum of $1,574,134.86 will be
obtained by the Landlord refinancing the existing mortgage covering the demised
premises. Tenant agrees that it will reimburse Landlord for all of Landlord’s
disbursements and expenses in connection with such refinancing, including but
not limited to mortgage recording taxes, recording fees, mortgage insurance,
attorneys’ fees and brokerage fees.”
