"19. Renewal Option. Providing that lessee is in compliance with
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease, lessor agrees
that lessee shall have the option to renew this lease for one (1)
additional period of five (5) years beyond the initial term hereof at a
rental to be agreed upon and otherwise upon the same terms and
conditions as set forth herein. Written notice of the exercise of the
renewal option shall be given by lessee to lessor at least ninety (90)
