WHEREAS, the parties now wish to further amend the Lease by revising the term
provisions.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the parties hereby agree
as follows:
1. Paragraph 2 (b) of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:
b. It is further provided that the options granted under the Lease shall be
deemed to have been relinquished unless Lessee shall have notified the
Port in writing in advance of the beginning of each option period of its
election to exercise its option with respect to the immediately following
five (5) year period subject to the Port granting its written consent which
will not be unreasonably withheld. If Lessee is in compliance with the
terms and conditions of this Lease and has, upon written notice to the
Port given on or before May 14, 2010, advised the Port of its election to
exercise its option, this Lease will be extended for an additional five (5)
year term subject to the Port giving its written consent, which will not be
unreasonably withheld, by August 14, 2010. In the event that the Lease
is extended for the period from November 14, 2010 through November
14, 2015, and the Lessee is in compliance with the terms and conditions
of this Lease and has, upon written notice to the Port given on or before
November 14, 2014, advised the Port of its election to exercise its option,
this Lease will be extended subject to the Port giving its written consent
which will not be unreasonably withheld, by February 14, 2015.
2. Except as expressly amended herein, all provisions of the Lease (as previously
amended) shall remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Eleventh Amendment as of the
day and year first above written.
