3.No Other Modification or Amendment to the Lease. The Lease shall remain in full force and effect except as expressly amended or modified by this Amendment. From and after the date of this Amendment, all references in the Lease to the “Lease” shall be deemed to refer to the Lease as amended by this Amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the balance of the Leased Property (other than the
2

Atlantic City Parcel as of the Atlantic City Parcel Severance Date in accordance with Section 2.A.i of this Amendment).
4.Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
