7.    Additional Conditions to Buyer’s Obligation to Close. The following are added at the end of Section 4.2 of the Agreement as additional conditions precedent to the closing of escrow:

“4.2.7    On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to the Title Company an Estoppel Certificate from Seller (“Estoppel”) regarding the Reciprocal Easement Agreement between Reserve at Creekside Limited Partnership and KBC Partners dated December 9, 2003 and recorded December 10, 2003 in Book 6958, Page 60 of the Official Records of Hamilton, County, Tennessee, as amended and supplemented (collectively, “REA”), in such form as may be reasonably agreed to by Buyer and Seller, provided that, among other things, the Estoppel shall contain certifications by Seller that (a) other than the failure of Seller to invoice, and the applicable parties to reimburse Seller for, any reimbursable expenses otherwise collectible by Seller under the REA, there are no existing defaults under the REA by Seller or, to Seller’s knowledge, any other party to the REA, and that, to Seller’s knowledge, there are no facts or circumstances existing that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, would ripen into such a default and (b) except as previously delivered to Buyer under the Agreement, neither Seller, nor to Seller’s knowledge any prior owner of fee title to the Property, has given, granted or received any consents, approvals, requests for consent or approval, or material notices under, in connection with, or pursuant to the REA; provided, however, that Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that certain consents, approvals or notices were given or obtained (or should have been given or obtained) by parties other than the Seller with respect to the construction, maintenance or use of the improvements contemplated by the REA, but Seller does not have copies of any such consents, approvals or notices.

“4.2.8        On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to the Title Company an Owner’s Affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

“4.2.9        On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer or the Title Company with a copy of the Services Agreement (as defined below) in order for the Title Company to make its determination about the removal of that certain Installation and Services Agreement dated as of September 23, 2004 between Reserve at Creekside, L.P., predecessor-in-interest to Seller, and Comcast Cablevision of the South, as an exception to the Title Commitment; provided, however, that, in connection therewith, Buyer assumes the risk that the Title Company excepts to the Services Agreement. In the event that receipt of the Services Agreement is insufficient to permit the Title Company to remove the September 23, 2004 agreement as an exception to title, Seller will use good faith efforts to obtain and deliver to the Title Company any such additional documentation that Title Company reasonably requires in connection with such removal.

“4.2.10        In satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 17.b of that certain Services Agreement (“Services Agreement”) dated September 19, 2011 between Seller and Comcast of the South (“Comcast”), within two (2) business days after the end of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall deliver to Comcast written notice that the sale of the Property to Buyer is

imminent. Further, for avoidance of doubt, the Services Agreement shall be assigned by Seller to Buyer pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption of Lease, Contracts and Approvals set forth as Exhibit E to the Agreement.

“4.2.11        In satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 6 of that certain Compensation Agreement (“Compensation Agreement”) dated September 19, 2011 between Seller and Comcast, on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain and deliver to Escrow Holder the written consent of Comcast (“Comcast Consent”) to the assignment of the Compensation Agreement by Seller to Buyer. Further, the remaining rights and obligations under the Compensation Agreement shall be assigned by Seller to Buyer pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption of Lease, Contracts and Approvals set forth as Exhibit E to the Agreement.

8.    Indemnity. In addition to the terms of any applicable indemnities contained in the Assignment and Assumption of Lease, Contracts and Approvals set forth as Exhibit E to the Agreement, Seller shall specifically indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless from and against any claim, loss, liability, penalty or fee raised by Comcast pursuant to Section 5 of the Compensation Agreement, other than with respect to a claim, loss, liability, penalty or fee arising as a result of any act or omission of Buyer that results in a default under, and/or termination of, the Services Agreement.

9.    Miscellaneous. Except as specifically modified hereby, all of the provisions of the Agreement which are not in conflict with the terms of this First Amendment shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby reinstated, ratified and confirmed. This First Amendment may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts and by the separate parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when taken together shall be deemed an original and shall constitute one and the same instrument.
