C. As a result of such review, Buyer and Seller extended the Inspection Period to January 12, 2011 and desire to amend, modify and supplement the Purchase Agreement as more fully set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, incorporating the foregoing recitals and in consideration thereof, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer is not electing to terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement, and that Buyer’s only remaining termination rights under the Purchase Agreement are set forth in Sections 11 (Completion of the Asset), 12 (closing conditions), 15 (casualty/condemnation) and 37(a) (Seller default) of the Purchase Agreement, as such provisions are modified by this Amendment, and Section 5 below.
5. Disclosures. Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Buyer in requesting that FedEx consent to Buyer’s disclosures set forth in Exhibit “1” attached hereto. In the event such consent is not obtained and provided to Buyer on or before January 26, 2012, Buyer shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder (with email notification being an acceptable method of delivery and deemed delivered on the day such email is sent) on or before January 27, 2012, to terminate the Purchase Agreement, in which event Buyer’s Deposit plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be returned to Buyer as its sole and exclusive remedy (unless due to Seller’s breach of its obligations under this Section 5), and thereafter the Escrow, the Purchase Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, except as and to the extent otherwise expressly therein provided. If Buyer does not so terminate the Purchase Agreement, then Buyer shall no longer have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to this Section 5. Prior to Closing, Seller shall reasonably cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Buyer’s other reasonably requested disclosures, including requesting that FedEx consent, pursuant to Section 4 of the first amendment to the Lease, to Buyer’s “text and timing” disclosures; provided, however, Seller’s failure to obtain FedEx’s consent to any such disclosures shall not constitute a default by Seller and shall not constitute a closing condition under the Purchase Agreement.
6. Legal Description. On or before January 26, 2012, Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable information to clarify that the legal description in the Lease constitutes the exact same property as the legal description for the Property in the Purchase Agreement, or otherwise address any discrepancy to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction. In the event Seller fails to provide such information or address any discrepancies on or before January 26, 2012, Buyer shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder (with email notification being an acceptable method of delivery and deemed delivered on the day such email is sent) on or before January 27, 2012, to terminate the Purchase Agreement, in which event Buyer’s Deposit plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be returned to Buyer as its sole and exclusive remedy, and thereafter the Escrow, the Purchase Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, except as and to the extent otherwise expressly therein provided. If Buyer does not so terminate the Purchase Agreement, then Buyer shall no longer have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.
7. Completion of the Asset. As defined in Section 11(a) of the Purchase Agreement, “Completion of the Asset” shall not be deemed to have occured until Buyer receives written notice that Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Improvements has occurred, which notice shall include copies of the supporting documentation evidencing the same as set forth in Sections 5.8(b) and (c) of Exhibit B to the Lease, including any list of Approved Punchlist Work given by

FedEx (collectively, the “Completion of the Asset Documentation”). Buyer’s right to terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 11(a) of the Purchase Agreement shall expire after the date that is seven (7) business days after Buyer’s receipt of the Completion of the Asset Documentation, and shall be conditioned upon Buyer having a good faith basis to not accept Seller’s assertion of Completion of the Asset. If Buyer does not so terminate the Purchase Agreement within such seven (7) business day period, then Buyer shall no longer have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 11(a) of the Purchase Agreement.
8. Certain Closing Conditions. Buyer’s right to terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) of the Purchase Agreement shall expire after the date that is five (5) business days after that date which is thirty (30) days after the Completion of the Asset. If Buyer does not so terminate the Purchase Agreement within such five (5) business day period, then Buyer shall no longer have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) of the Purchase Agreement.
9. SNDA. An additional closing condition (but not an obligation of Seller) under Section 12 of the Purchase Agreement shall be the receipt from FedEx of a subordination agreement benefitting Buyer’s lender in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 29 of the Lease. This closing condition shall be treated in the same manner as those closing conditions set forth in Sections 12(b), (c) and (d) of the Purchase Agreement are treated under Section 11(b) of the Purchase Agreement.
10. Seller Deliveries. As part of Seller’s closing deliveries pursuant to Section 13 of the Purchase Agreement, Seller shall deposit copies of all deliveries, if any, made by Seller to FedEx pursuant to Sections 5.13, 5.14, 5.15 and 5.16 of Exhibit B to the Lease. After Closing, Seller shall continue to provide Buyer with copies of all deliveries, if any, made by Seller to FedEx pursuant to Sections 5.13, 5.14, 5.15 and 5.16 of Exhibit B to the Lease. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from any loss, cost, expense, claim, liability or damage resulting from any failure by Seller to comply with the obligations under Sections 5.13, 5.14, 5.15 and 5.16 of Exhibit B to the Lease to the extent related to the completion of the Landlord Improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller’s failure to make such deliveries shall not constitute a default by Seller and shall not constitute a closing condition under the Purchase Agreement.
11. FedEx Consents. An additional closing condition (but not an obligation of Seller) under Section 12 of the Purchase Agreement shall be Buyer’s receipt of reasonable documentation evidencing FedEx’s consent to matters requiring FedEx’s consent pursuant to Section 15.1 of the Lease, if any. This closing condition shall be treated in the same manner as those closing conditions set forth in Sections 12(b), (c) and (d) of the Purchase Agreement are treated under Section 11(b) of the Purchase Agreement.
12. Warranties. The following provision shall be added to the General Assignment: “To the extent not prohibited by or inconsistent with law, the Lease or the terms of the applicable warranties or guaranties, Seller hereby appoints Buyer as Seller’s attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of Seller in the event of a claim under any such warranty or guaranty.
