(“Lessee”) is executed and delivered on February 26, 2016, to memorialize supplements to the CREZ Lease (as defined below), effective as of January 1, 2016.  Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined will have the meanings assigned to them in the CREZ Lease.

WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee are Parties to a Third Amended and Restated Lease Agreement (CREZ Assets) dated as of December 4, 2015 (as amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “CREZ Lease”);

WHEREAS, on December 31, 2015 the Parties executed a Seventh Amended and Restated Rent Supplement (CREZ Lease) effective as of January 1, 2016 (the “Seventh Amended Supplement”); and

WHEREAS, the Incremental CapEx for 2015 was different than expected by the Eighth Amended Supplement and the Parties wish to effect a Rent Validation (as set forth in Section 3.2(c) of the CREZ Lease) and to amend and restate the Seventh Amended Supplement to memorialize the effect of such difference; and

WHEREAS, as a result of this Rent Validation, a one-time payment set forth below is owed by Lessor and will be paid within 30 days after execution hereof.  

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree to the following:

1.The Seventh Amended Supplement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth below.

2.The CREZ Lease, except as supplemented by this Eighth Amended Supplement, shall remain in full force and effect.
