NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.          Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning set forth in the Original Lease.

3.          Marketing Support. The last sentence of Section 9(e) of the Original Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“As funds are expended by JFK in accordance with the marketing budget and plan, JFK shall submit invoices (together with documentary evidence supporting the invoices) for its expenditures and, promptly following the receipt of such invoices, GK.F shall reimburse JFK for fifty percent (50%) of the expenditures up to the GKF limit of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) per year.”
