This First Amendment to Lease is made as of April 21, 2003, by and between Watson Land Company, a California corporation (“Landlord”) and Coastcast Corporation, a California corporation (“Tenant”).  This First Amendment to Lease amends and modifies the terms and conditions of that certain Lease dated September 1, 1997 between Landlord and Tenant (the “Lease”).  Capitalized terms which are not otherwise defined in this First Amendment to Lease shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Lease.

B.                                     The Lease Term expires on October 31, 2003.  Tenant has exercised its Extension Option for a period of sixty (60) months commencing on November 1, 2003 and ending on October 31, 2008 (the “Extended Term”).

 

C.                                     Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease to reflect the agreement of Landlord and Tenant on certain issues relating to Tenant’s continued use and occupancy of the Premises for the Extended Term.
