First Amendment to Lease Agreement between North Central Development Company and Horizon Health Corporation

Summary

This amendment, dated November 15, 2000, modifies the original lease agreement between North Central Development Company (Lessor) and Horizon Health Corporation (Lessee). The amendment updates definitions in the lease to align with terms in a new credit agreement involving the Lessee and several banks, adjusts the lease term to end on the credit agreement's termination date, and incorporates certain financial covenants from the credit agreement.
