The parties hereby agree and accept to amend Provision 2.05 of the Lease Agreement, as follows:
“2.05. Lessee's Remedies in the Event of Delays in Lessor's Work.
A. Self-Help Rights. If, for any reason other than Lessee Delays, Lessor fails to achieve any Phase or Sub-phase on or before the respective Target Date for such Phase, and the Works have not been completed in the following sixty (60) calendar days, in case of Phase I, 30 days for Phase H and 15 days for Subphases III- A and III- B, Lessee shall have the right to give Lessor a written notice that it intends to complete the portion of Lessor's Work necessary to achieve such delivery, and if Lessor fails to complete such portion of Lessor's Work within thirty (30) calendar days after Lessor receives such notice. Lessee shall have the right to perform such portion of Lessor's Work, at Lessor's expense. If due to the nature of the works it is impossible for the Lessor to finish them in thirty (30) days, it win have to begin all necessary actions in order to finish them, and if it does, it will have an additional reasonable term to finish to be approved by Lessee. If Lessor has not started all actions required in order to do so within fifteen (15) days after Lessor receives such notice, and, in any event, if the Lessor has not completed the work after the additional reasonable term approved by Lessee, then the Lessee will be allowed to complete the Lessor's Work, at Lessor's cost and expense. Lessor will reimburse Lessee for the costs so incurred by Lessee within thirty (30 days) after Lessee delivers to Lessor all invoices corresponding to such costs, that have to be invoices with legal and tax effects in Costa Rica, unless both parties agree that payment is made by means of deduction of the total amount owed for such costs from the next monthly rent payment thereafter due under this Lease and, if such rent payment is not enough, by deducting from the following months, until the complete amount owed and its interests has been credited to the Lessee. Lessee may only take over Lessor's Work, provided that Lessee does not exercise its right to terminate the Lease. Once the Lessee has taken over Lessor's Work, Lessor will no longer be responsible for further or new delays not attributable to Lessor.
B. Liquidated Damages.
1.If, for any reason other than Lessee Delays and Force Majeure Lessor fails to achieve delivery of Phase One on or before the Target Date for delivery of Phase One, then Lessor shall pay to Lessee liquidated damages equal in amount to the product of: (i) the number of days between the date that Lessor achieves delivery of Phase One and the Target Date for delivery of Phase One, multiplied by (ii)[*******]. Provided, however, that such liquidated damages shall only be paid by Lessor if the Lessee does not exercise its right to terminate the Lease. In case Force Majeure delays Lessor's Work for more than six months. Lessee can exercise its right to terminate the Lease.
Page 5 of 12

Lessee hereby releases Lessor of any liability or payment of liquidated damages for delays in the delivery of Phase I, provided Lessor delivers Phase III B on the Target Date of Delivery of Phase IIIB. If Lessor fails to achieve the Final Date of Delivery of Phase lll-B on or before the respective Target Date for such Phase, Lessee will be entitled to liquidated damages as compensation in accordance with Section 2.05 (B)(1).

As an example, if Lessor compensated Lessee four weeks of delay after the Target Date of Phase I or Phase III A, then if there is a delay of the same four weeks at the Final Date of Delivery of Phase III B, then Lessor will not have to compensate such delay, since it has already been compensated. Liquidated damages for Phase II will have to be paid only and exclusively, if delay in delivery of Phase II affects Final Date of Delivery of Phases HI A and HI B on Target Date for such Final Date of Delivery. As allowed under Article 705 of Costa Rican Civil Code, the Lessee irrevocably waives its rights to and guarantees and acknowledges that it will not file any lawsuits or claims to recover additional amounts from the Lessor originated in damages caused by a failure to deliver the Premises in a timely manner for causes attributable to the Lessor, its contractors, agents or employees, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement.

Lessor fails to achieve the Final Date of Delivery of Phase lll-B on or before the respective Target Date for such Phase, Lessee will be entitled to liquidated damages as compensation for the delays existing as of the date of signature of this Lease Agreement, attributable to Lessor in the delivery of Phase I and H in the Target Dates originally established in Exhibit 7, subject to alt other rights and remedies under the Agreement, and it shall have the right to use the Performance Bond to charge them.
In case Force Majeure delays Lessor's Work for more than six months. Lessee can exercise its right to terminate the Lease.
3.At Lessee's election. Lessee shall have the right to deduct any liquidated damages due from Lessor to Lessee pursuant to this Section 2.05 from the amount of Rent and other charges due from Lessee to Lessor hereunder.
