Acquiror and Contributor hereby ratify and confirm the amendments to the Contribution Agreements that occurred through and by the terms of the Fourth Amendment to Master Agreement.
     4. Title Insurance. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 7.2 and 12.1.9 of each Contribution Agreement, the parties hereby agree that:

  (c)   at Closing, Acquiror shall accept delivery of either (i) the Title Policy (or a so-called “marked-up” Title Commitment or pro forma Title Policy), as contemplated in Section 12.1.9 of the Contribution Agreements or (ii) a so-called “date down endorsement” issued with respect to Contributor’s existing owner’s title insurance policy for a given Project (each, an “Existing Title Policy”). In the event Acquiror receives a “date down endorsement” to an Existing Title Policy (x) the insurance coverages provided pursuant to that Existing Title Policy shall be updated to and including the Closing Date; provided, however, such updating shall not include updated surveys; (y) the amount of insurance coverage provided by the Existing Title Policy shall be increased to an amount equal to the Gross Asset Value for that particular Project (in the event the Gross Asset Value is in excess of the insured amount); and (z) the Existing Title Policy shall be further endorsed through the issuance of a “Fairway endorsement” insuring that the Title Company shall not interpose as a defense to a claim of coverage under such policy the fact that a dissolution of the insured limited liability company has occurred, or a new limited liability company has been formed, solely by reason of the withdrawal or replacement of one or more of the members of the original insured limited liability company so long as the insured remains as the title holder, and no new limited liability company is explicitly formed.

Notwithstanding subsections (E) and (F) in Section 3.2 of the Contribution Agreements, all prorations and adjustments occurring pursuant to Section 13 of the Contribution Agreements (except Sections 13.5 and 13.6, both of which are addressed below) shall be paid in cash and shall not be applied under Section 3.2 in order to calculate the Contribution Consideration.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 3.2(E), 3.2(F) and 13.5 of the Contribution Agreements, any and all escrows maintained (as of the Closing Date) with, or under the control of, the lenders holding any POP Property Indebtedness shall be handled, as between Acquiror

     8. City Square.

Such $12,000,000 component of the Gross Asset Value of City Square shall instead by paid, by Acquiror, through the execution and delivery of the Principal Note, as described and defined in Section 4 of the Fourth Amendment to Master Agreement.
     9. US Bank. The Contribution Agreement for the Project commonly known as US Bank is hereby terminated and neither Acquiror nor Contributor shall have any further right, entitlement, obligation or liability under that particular Contribution Agreement.
     10. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. For purposes of executing this Amendment, any signed document transmitted by facsimile machine or e-mail transmission (in either case a “Fax”) shall be considered as an original signature. Any such Fax document shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as an original document.
