         WHEREAS, the Assignee has completed certain improvements on the

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual

hereby amended and restated as follows:

                           "Section 3.1 Base Rent. Subject to the terms and
                           provisions contained in this Section 3.1, Tenant
                           shall pay Landlord monthly Base Rent of Eighteen
                           Thousand Two Hundred Eighty One and 25/100 Dollars
                           ($18,281.25), in advance on or before the first day
                           of each calendar month during the Term, subject to
                           adjustment as hereafter provided. If the Term
                           commences on a day other than the first day of a
                           calendar month, or ends on a day other than the last
                           day of a calendar month, then the Base Rent for such
                           month shall be prorated on the basis of 1/30th of the
                           monthly Base Rent for each day of such month. If the
                           CPI on any Adjustment Date shall be greater than the
                           CPI for the Commencement Date, monthly Base Rent
                           commencing on the Adjustment Date shall be adjusted
                           to be the original monthly Base Rent specified in
                           this Section 3.1(a) plus an amount equal to one-half
                           (1/2) of the product obtained by multiplying: (i) the
                           original monthly Base Rent specified in this Section
                           3.1 (a) by (ii) the percentage increase in the CPI
                           from the Commencement Date through the Adjustment
                           Date. "ADJUSTMENT DATE" shall be January 1 of each of
                           the following years: 2008; 2013;

                           2018; 2023, and the term "CPI" shall have the meaning

         3.       COMMENCEMENT DATE. Section 3.1(b) of the Lease is hereby
amended and restated as follows:

                           date hereof and the term "LEASE YEAR" means the
                           12-month period commencing on November 1, 2003 and
                           each subsequent 12-month period during the Term."

         4.       EFFECT OF THIS AMENDMENT. Each defined term used but not
otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning assigned to it in the
Lease. In the event of any conflict between this Amendment and the Lease, this
