mailing address is at Veterans Stadium, P.O. Box 7575, Broad Street and
Pattison Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19101 (the "Club").
The parties, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises set
forth below, agree as follows:

entered into between the parties on October 18, 1984 and January 28, 1987,

out-of-pocket expenditures to unrelated third parties to procure the work and
materials necessary to effect the Improvements and does not include any salary
or other overhead expenses whatsoever of City personnel in any way involved in
effecting the Improvements, provided that the City shall be credited as
"spending" the cost to City of any City-owned materials and the hourly wages

the Improvements and of any additional improvements pursuant to Paragraph 4

It is the expectation of both parties that the
Improvements can be effected by the City in accordance with Paragraph 3 above
(and the comparabl e provi si ons of the Second Amendment of the other Lease
Agreement dated August 3, 1989) for less than $1,156,000. In that event, the
City shall not use the balance to effect additional improvements related to
Carpenter Field and/or Jack Russell Stadium but rather, the balance shall be
applied to reduce the original principal amounts and the payments based
thereon as referred to in Paragraph 7 of the Lease Agreement relating to Jack
Russell Stadium, as amended hereby, starting with the 1990 payment. If,
however, the Improvements cannot be so effected within the $1,156,000 limit,
then the City will so advise The Phillies as soon as it so determines and The
Phil lies shall within 10 working days either direct which Improvements will be
foregone or scaled back to effect the needed saving and/or The Phillies will

Beginning December 1, 1990, and on December 1 of each year thereafter through
and including December 1, 1994, The Phillies shall annually pay to the City
the sum of $86,600, or a total of $433,000, which payments are based on
$356,000 in original principal amount and a rate of return to the City of 8
percent per annum. In the event of a player strike, lockout or other labor
dispute or by any other cause, not the fault of the City, resulting in the
cancellation of all spring training games. The Phillies may elect to extend
the repayment period for one year, but such extension shall not excuse payment
of the annual rate of return on the unpaid principal as of December 1 of the
year in which the spring training games were cancelled. The Phillies may
extend the repayment period not more than once pursuant to this paragraph
regardl ess of the number of years in whi ch spri ng trai ni ng games may be
cancelled. Such payments shall be deemed additional rent, and shall be
subject to the Florida Sales Tax, which shall be paid by the Phillies."
5. A new Paragraph 8 is added to the Lease Agreement relating to Jack
Russell Stadium, as amended to read in full as follows: "8. Beginning April
15, 1995, and on April 15 of each year thereafter through and including April
15, 2000, The Phillies shall pay to the City, as additional rent, 25 percent
of the gross sales (net of sales, admissions or like taxes) of spring training
tickets at Jack Russell Stadium in excess of 4,600 tickets per game. However,
in the event of a player strike, lockout or other labor dispute that results
in the cancellation of any spring training games, the City's right to receive
such additional rent shall be extended through the 2001 season for a number of
games equal to the number of games cancelled as a result of any labor dispute.
Such payments shall be deemed additional rent, and shall be subject to the
Florida Sales Tax, which shall be paid by the Phillies."
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set their hands and seals the
