The term of the Lease will expire on October 31, 2000; however, the Agency is not

change and that therefore, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State of California Environmental Quality
Act ("CEQA") Guidelines, the execution of the Amendment and the operation of
an automobile repair shop by Lessee will not cause a significant effect on the environment because
environmental circumstances and conditions of the Property will not be changed; and
