1.                                      Removed Properties.  The Leased Property shall exclude the Removed Properties, but notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall retain all of its obligations with respect to the Removed Properties which are attributable to events occurring on or prior to the date hereof or which are addressed pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Lease (as if all of the Removed Properties

remained Properties for the remainder of the Term).  In furtherance of the foregoing, however, Tenant shall have no obligation to comply with Section 5.3 of the Lease solely with respect to the Removed Properties.

2.                                      Base Gross Revenues.  The defined term “Base Gross Revenues” set forth in Section 1.9 of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: “Intentionally deleted.”

3.                                      Base Year.  The defined term “Base Year” set forth in Section 1.10 of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Base Year”  shall mean, with respect to each Property, the calendar year identified as the Initial Base Year on Exhibit A for such Property (the “Initial Base Year”) and/or the 2019 calendar year (the “2019 Base Year”), as applicable.

4.                                      Commencement Date.  The defined term “Commencement Date” set forth in Section 1.18 of the Lease shall mean, with respect to the Additional Properties, the date of this Amendment.

5.                                      Excess Gross Revenues.  The defined term “Excess Gross Revenues” set forth in Section 1.34 of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: “Intentionally deleted.”

6.                                      Minimum Rent.  The defined term “Minimum Rent” set forth in Section 1.66 of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Minimum Rent” shall mean Forty-Four Million Four Hundred Eleven Thousand Six Hundred Eighteen and 00/100ths Dollars ($44,411,618.00), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.1.1(b).

7.                                      Fixed Term.

(a)                                 Section 2.3 of the Lease is amended to delete the first sentence therefrom in its entirety and to replace it with the following:

The initial term of this Agreement (the “Fixed Term”) shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall expire on December 31, 2029.

(b)                                 Section 2.3 of the Lease is also amended to delete the parenthetical “(but not later than December 31, 2027)” from the first sentence of the second paragraph thereof.

2

8.             Extended Terms.  Section 2.4 of the Lease is amended to delete the second paragraph therefrom in its entirety and to replace it with the following:

If and to the extent Tenant shall exercise the foregoing options to extend the Term, the first Extended Term shall commence on January 1, 2030 and expire on December 31, 2044 and the second Extended Term shall commence on January 1, January 1, 2045 and expire on December 31, 2059.  All of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Agreement shall apply to each Extended Term, except that (x) the Minimum Rent payable during such Extended Term shall be the greater of the Prior Rent and the Fair Market Value Rent for the Leased Property (such Fair Market Value Rent to be determined by agreement of the parties or, absent agreement, by an appraiser designated by Landlord) (taking into account that the Initial Base Year and the 2019 Base Year, as applicable, shall remain unchanged) and (y) Tenant shall have no right to extend the Term beyond December 31, 2059.  For purposes of this Section 2.4, “Prior Rent” shall mean an amount equal to the per annum Minimum Rent in effect on the last day of the Fixed Term or Extended Term immediately preceding such Extended Term.  If Tenant shall elect to exercise the option to extend the Term for the first Extended Term, it shall do so by giving Landlord Notice thereof not later than December 31, 2028, and if Tenant shall elect to exercise its option to extend the Term for the second Extended Term after having elected to extend the Term for the first Extended Term, it shall do so by giving Landlord Notice not later than December 31, 2043, it being understood and agreed that time shall be of the essence with respect to the giving of any such Notice.  If Tenant shall fail to give any such Notice, this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end of the Fixed Term or the first Extended Term as applicable and Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of this Agreement.  If Tenant shall give such Notice, the extension of this Agreement shall be automatically effected without the execution of any additional documents; it being understood and agreed, however, that Tenant and Landlord shall execute such documents and agreements as either party shall reasonably require to evidence the same.  Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing sentence, if, subsequent to the giving of such Notice, an Event of Default shall occur, at Landlord’s option, the extension of this Agreement shall cease to take effect and this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end of the Fixed Term or the first Extended Term, as applicable, and Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of this Agreement.

9.             Additional Rent.  Section 3.1.2(a) of the Lease is amended by deleting the first sentence therefrom in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

Tenant shall pay additional rent (“Additional Rent”) with respect to each Lease Year (or portion thereof) during the Term subsequent to the Initial Base Year, with respect to each Property, in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the amount by which Gross Revenues at such Property during such Lease Year exceed Gross Revenues at such Property during the Initial Base Year (or the equivalent portion thereof).  In addition, Tenant shall pay Additional Rent with respect to each Lease Year (or portion thereof) during the Term subsequent to the

3

2019 Base Year, with respect to each Property, in an amount equal to one-half percent (0.5%) of the amount by which Gross Revenues at such Property during such Lease Year exceed Gross Revenues at such Property during the 2019 Base Year (or the equivalent portion thereof).  For the avoidance of doubt, the payment of Additional Rent based on Gross Revenues in excess of Gross Revenues for the Initial Base Year and the payment of Additional Rent based on Gross Revenues in excess of Gross Revenues for the 2019 Base Year are separate and independent obligations.

10.          Deferred Rent.  Section 3.1.3(f) of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Deferred Rent.  Commencing on April 1, 2019 through January 31, 2023, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, the total amount of Twelve Million Six Hundred Three Thousand Eighty-Five and 00/100ths Dollars ($12,603,085.00) in sixteen (16) equal quarterly installments of Seven Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-Three and 00/100ths Dollars ($787,693.00) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter during such period.

12.          Ratification.  As amended hereby, the Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed and remains in full force and effect.

13.          Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
