            1.          Section 2 of the Lease is hereby deleted and the

                        therewith. The land and all such improvements,
                        equipment, easements and appurtenances are hereinafter
                        sometimes referred to as the "leased premises."



            2. Subsections 4(a) (ii) and (iii) of the Lease are hereby deleted
and the following substituted in their place, with subsection 4(a)(i) repeated
without change for convenience:

                        "(a) As payments on account of rent for the properties
            leased hereunder, and having made all required payments of rent,
            supplemental rent and other charges owed to Lessor through April
            30, 1998, Tenant hereby unconditionally promises to pay:

                                   (i) to the Trustee, for the account of the 
            Lessor, payments hereunder sufficient at all times to pay in full
            the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, and
            all expenses of the Trustee under the Indenture, and any and all
            other payments required to be made by Lessor under the Agreement
            and the Indenture, when and as the same become due and payable
            (whether at maturity or by acceleration, prepayment, call for
            redemption, or otherwise); all such payments shall be made in
            immediately available funds, at the principal corporate trust
            office of the Trustee which on the date hereof is located at 801
            Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida 32204, or such other place
            as Lessor or the Trustee shall designate at any time in writing to
            Tenant;

                                   (ii) to the Lessor, directly commencing on 
            May 1, 1998, as supplemental rent, the amount set forth in
            SUBSECTION 4(a)(iii) below, provided, however, if the Tenant has
            received notice from the Trustee that a default or Event of Default
            under the Agreement has occurred and is continuing, all
            supplemental rent payments shall be paid to the Trustee for the
            account of the Lessor. All payments of supplemental rent shall be
            made in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of
            each and every remaining calendar month during the Term;

                                   (iii) the supplemental rent for the lease 
            year commencing on May 1, 1998 shall be $461,239.00 (the
            "Escalation Base"). The supplemental rent for the lease year
            commencing on May 1, 1999 shall be the Escalation Base increased by
            the percentage increase, if any, in the CPI (hereinafter defined)
            for the last reported month available to the public on April 1,
            1999 as compared to the CPI for the same month in 1998 (the "Base
            CPI"). The supplemental rent for each lease year after the lease
            year commencing on May 1, 1999 shall be the Escalation Base
            increased by the percentage increase, if any, in the last reported
            month available to the public on April 1 of the next preceding
            lease year as compared to the Base CPI. On or before April 15, 1999
            and on or before 

<PAGE>

            each April 15 thereafter during the Term, Lessor shall provide
            Tenant with written notice of the supplemental rent for the next
            succeeding lease year and the calculation for determining such
            supplemental rent. Notwithstanding the result of any calculation of
            supplemental rent hereunder, in no event shall supplemental rent
            for any lease year be less than supplemental for the preceding
            lease year.

            3. Exhibit B of the Lease is hereby deleted and Exhibit B attached
hereto is hereby substituted in its place.

            4. Except as modified by this First Amendment to Amended and
Restated Lease, the Lease remains in full force and effect.


            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Lease as
of the date first written above.
