sentence "Tenant's failure to pay to Landlord on or prior to December 31, 2003
any amounts of Minimum Rent and/or Percentage Rent deferred by Tenant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions shall be an Event of Default hereunder." is hereby
amended by replacing every instance of the year "2003" with the year "2005".

            3. AUTHORITY. Each party hereto represents and warrants that this
Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such
party.

                        (b) This Amendment may be executed in any number of
            counterparts, each of which where so executed and delivered shall be
            an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
            instrument.

                        (c) In all respects, except to the extent that the
            context otherwise requires, references to "this Lease" (and words of
            similar import) in the Master Lease prior to its amendment hereby
            shall be deemed to refer to the Master Lease as amended hereby and
            as the same may hereafter be amended.
