     2.   Amendment to Paragraph 8.  Paragraph 8 of the Lease which has a 
          paragraph heading of "Tenant"s Right to Extend Term of Lease' is 
          amended by adding thereto the following language:  

          "Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of the Stated 
          Event, Landlord agrees that Tenant may, at any time up to and 
          including the last day of the Phase I Equipment Term, extend the 
          initial terms for the Premises and all equipment phases until 
          midnight (local time) December 31, 2018.  The extended terms 
          shall commence for each equipment phase and for the premises 
          immediately upon expiration of the respective initial terms.  In 
          order to extend, Tenant shall give written notice of extension to 
          Landlord.  Having so extended all four (4) lease terms, Tenant 
          shall make the following payments to Landlord:  

          (a)  The rental during extension for the Premises shall be Five 
               Thousand Dollars ($5,000) payable on the first day of the 
               extended term and thereafter on or before January 1 of each 
               succeeding year of the extended term.  

          (b)  At the election of Tenant, the rental for each extended 
               equipment term shall be either a lump sum payable on the 
               first day of the extended term or monthly rental payments 
               beginning on the first month of the extended term.  If 
               Tenant elects to make a lump sum payment as to any extension 
               then the following amount shall be paid to Landlord on the 
               first day of the extended term:  

                    Phase One Extension          $3,095,610.54
                    Phase Two Extension          $1,356,888.63
                    Phase Three Extension        $  436,239.48

          If Tenant elects monthly payments as to any extended equipment 
          term then the rental during the extension shall be monthly 
          payments equal to the applicable lump sum amount shown above 
          amortized over the extended term with interest equal to the Wall 
          Street Journal Prime Rate adjusted quarterly.  At any time during 
          any extended equipment term as to which Tenant has elected 
          monthly payments, Tenant may without penalty pay all remaining 
          monthly payments in full in advance by remitting to Landlord the 
          then outstanding principal ("lump sum") amount."

     3.   Amendment.  Paragraph 9 of the Lease which has a paragraph 
          heading of "Purchase Option" is amended by adding thereto the 
          following language:  

          "Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of the Stated 
          Event and assuming Tenant has exercised its right to extend all 
          applicable lease terms then, Tenant shall have the right to 
          purchase the Facility on December 31, 2018 upon payment to 
          Landlord of the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) which payment must be 
          made on or before January 7, 2019."

     4.   Other Provisions.  All other provisions of the Lease shall remain 
          in full force and effect, except as specifically amended herein.  

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord has caused its corporate name hereunto 
subscribed and its corporate seal hereunto affixed and attested by its duly 
authorized officers and, Tenant has caused its corporate name to be 
hereunto subscribed and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed and
