the Acquirors shall have the right to request in writing sent to such
address as THCI shall specify in writing from time to time (such
writing to include a statement in bold faced type that failure to

THCI consent to, and to cause the applicable THCI Subsidiary,
Partnership or Second Tier Partnership to enter into, any leases
(including anchor tenant leases) of such Property with tenants
identified by the Acquirors and on terms and conditions proposed by
the Acquirors. THCI shall either grant or deny each such approval
within five (5) Business Days after request (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld), and if the approval is denied, THCI shall
include in its denial a description of the reasons therefor. In the
event THCI shall fail to respond within such five (5) Business Day
period, the request shall be deemed approved. Subject to the final
sentence of this paragraph, all leases shall be drafted, at the
Acquirors' election, using the THCI's or the Acquirors' standard form.
If THCI consents to any proposed lease, THCI shall cause the
applicable THCI Subsidiary, Partnership or Second Tier Partnership to
enter into such lease in the final form approved by THCI and the
Acquirors. THCI shall enter into appropriate documentation delegating
to the Acquirors the authority to execute leases approved (or deemed
approved) as herein provided.
6
Notwithstanding the foregoing, THCI shall not be required to comply
with its obligations under this subsection (e) to the extent that
THCI determines in its good faith that compliance with such

other third party."
SECTION 1.06. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 5.03. Section 5.03 of the
Asset Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new

hereby agree to cause the necessary arrangements to be made to
renew the storage agreement with Cor-O-Van from time to time until
the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date or to cause the necessary
arrangements to be made to relocate the Specified Records to

each such agreement being an "EMPLOYEE UTILIZATION AGREEMENT") who are
working on-site at the applicable Property and employed by THCI or Owner in
accordance with the applicable Employee Utilization Agreement at the time
such Property is transferred to the Acquirors pursuant to the Asset Purchase
Agreement, on terms equivalent to the terms applicable at such time to such
employees in their positions as employees of THCI or Owner, as the case may
be; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Management Company or its assignee shall not be
required to hire any TrizecHahn's On-Site Employee or Owner's On-Site
Employee who the Management Company or its assignee has requested THCI or
Owner, as the case may be, to terminate or reassign pursuant to the
provisions of the applicable Employee Utilization Agreement. With respect to
any TrizecHahn's On-Site Employee or Owner's On-Site Employee, as the case
may be, who is not hired by the Management Company or its assignee pursuant
to the foregoing, the provisions of Section 6.08 of the Asset Purchase
Agreement (as modified hereby) shall apply to any payments made to such
employee which are required to be made pursuant to any plan described in
Section 6.03(I)(A) or 6.03(II)(A) of the THCI Disclosure Schedule. If any
TrizecHahn's On-Site Employee or Owner's On-Site Employee, as the case may
be, does not follow directions given by the Management Company or its
assignee or Manager's On-Site Employees (as such term is defined in the
applicable Employee Utilization Agreement) because THCI or Owner, as the case
may be, instructs such employee not to follow such directions, then any act
or failure to act by such employee which results from such instructions of
THCI or Owner, as the case may be, shall be considered an act or omission of
THCI or Owner, as the case may be, and not of the Management Company for
purposes of Section 2.06 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
(c) FEE PAID TO OWNER. As consideration for an Owner allowing, or
causing THCI to allow, the Management Company or its assignee to direct
TrizecHahn's On-Site Employees or Owner's On-Site Employees, as the case may
be, pursuant to the Employee Utilization Agreement to which such Owner is a
party, the Acquirors shall cause the Management Company or its assignee to
pay such Owner a fee of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) (the "FEE"). The Fee
shall be paid in its entirety on the Initial Closing Date.
