     WHEREAS, the parties desire now to amend the Lease to revise and clarify certain
obligations between the parties, as hereinafter provided;



     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree that the Lease shall be amended as follows:



     A. Consumer Price Index



     The reference in the first grammatical paragraph of Section 4.01(B) of the Lease to “Las

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Minimum Monthly Rent be
increased by an amount that is more than fifteen percent (15%) of the
Minimum Monthly Rent payable before the adjustment date in question.







     B. Gross Sales



     The second paragraph of Section 4.02 is hereby deleted and in its place is inserted the

     If the change, alteration or addition is structural or exterior in nature, Tenant
shall provide Landlord with a copy of Tenant’s plans and specifications for the work and
obtain Landlord’s written approval therefore, which approval shall not be unreasonably
delayed or withheld.



     E. Indemnity and Hold Harmless



     The indemnity rights set forth in Sections 9.02 and 10.01 are hereby expanded to include an
obligation by Tenant to defend, indemnify and hold harmless both Landlord and Landlord’s corporate
