WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.5.7 of the PSA, Sellers or Purchaser may terminate the PSA with respect to the Pierre Property if the Loan Assumption Approval with respect to the Pierre Property is not received by February 28, 2020 (the “Assumption Approval Deadline”);

WHEREAS, on January 28, 2020, the Assumption Loan Lender for the Pierre Property notified the Pierre Property Seller that it would not approve an assignment and assumption of the Pierre Loan to Purchaser or its affiliate; and

WHEREAS, Sellers and Purchaser desire to terminate the PSA solely with respect to the Pierre Property in light of such notice.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Amendment, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.            Amendment.

As of the date hereof, Sellers and Purchaser hereby terminate the PSA solely with respect to the Pierre Property. Accordingly, from and after the date hereof, the (i) Pierre Property shall no longer constitute a “Property” for the purposes of the PSA, (ii) the Pierre Property shall be excluded from the property to be sold by Sellers to Purchaser at the Closing, (iii) the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser at the Closing shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Purchase Price allocated to the Pierre Property as set forth on Schedule I of the PSA, (iv) all of Sellers’ representations, warranties, covenants, liabilities and obligations, and Purchaser’s rights, with respect to the Pierre Property shall be void and of no further force and effect (without limiting the respective rights and

 

obligations of the parties with respect to the Properties other than the Pierre Property and except for matters which expressly survive the termination of the PSA) and (v) the Pierre Property Seller shall no longer be a party to the PSA. In accordance with Section 3.2 of the PSA, Purchaser shall promptly return to Sellers all of the Materials in respect of the Pierre Property.

2.            Miscellaneous.

2.1       Except as modified by this Amendment, the PSA and all covenants, agreements, terms and conditions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. From and after the date hereof, all references in the PSA and in this Amendment to “this Agreement” shall refer to the PSA, as amended by this Amendment.

2.2       In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the PSA and this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall prevail to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency.

2.3       This Amendment may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that signatures to this Amendment transmitted by electronic mail in “pdf” format shall have the same force and effect as if original signatures to this Amendment had been delivered.
