Paying yearly to John and his heirs or assigns ten marks at two terms of the year, namely five marks at Easter and five marks at Martinmas, for all services, exactions and demands. Once this term has finished, these lands are to revert to John quietly, absolutely and without claim from Peter and his heirs or assigns, and will remain in peace forever.
