and

by and
through which Seller agreed to sell to Purchaser and Purchaser agreed to
purchase from Seller certain real and personal property in Jersey City, New
Jersey known as the Xxxxx Xxxxx Apartments and as more particularly described
in
the Agreement. By Assignment and Assumption Agreement date May 26, 2006, RMPC
assigned all of its rights under the Agreement to RGD. By letter dated October
13, 2006 (the “Termination
Letter”),
Purchaser terminated the Agreement. Seller and Purchaser now desire to reinstate
and amend the Agreement as set forth herein. Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein will have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Original
Agreement.
AGREEMENTS
NOW,
THEREFORE,
for and
in consideration of the covenants and conditions set forth in the Agreement,
and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are
hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Seller and
Purchaser agree as follows:
1. Purchaser
hereby rescinds the Termination Letter. The parties reinstate all of the terms
and conditions of the Agreement, as amended hereby. Except as expressly amended
hereby, the Agreement is in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and
reaffirmed in its entirety. To the extent of any conflict between the Agreement
and this Amendment, this Amendment will govern and prevail.
2. The
Purchase Price is Sixty Nine Million Four Hundred Sixty Thousand and 00/100
Dollars ($69,460,000.00).
3. The
parties acknowledge that Seller will deposit on the Closing Date in escrow
(the
“Escrow”)
with
Land Title Agency, Inc. (an agent of LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc.) or
another escrow agent (in either case, the “Escrow
Agent”)
selected by Seller and approved by Purchaser, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the amount of Two Million and
00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the “Escrow
Amount”)
pursuant to that Special Escrow Agreement between Seller and the Redevelopment
Agency substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A
(the
“Special
Escrow Agreement”),
which
Seller will cause prior to Closing to be expressly assignable to Purchaser
with
respect to the Purchaser’s Escrow Share (as defined below). Seller will at
Closing irrevocably assign, pursuant to a written agreement (the “Escrow
Assignment”)
mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser and executed at Closing, Seller’s
right, title and interest to the first funds to be released to Seller from
the
Escrow up to and including Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00),
(“Purchaser’s
Principal Share”)
plus
interest which shall have accrued thereon (together with the Purchaser’s
Principal Share, the “Purchaser’s
Escrow Share”).
Such
assignment shall be free and clear of any liens, charges, encumbrances or claims
whatsoever, except for the rights of the Redevelopment Agency under the Special
Escrow Agreement. Seller will cause the Escrow Agent to deliver to the Purchaser
at Closing an acknowledgement of such assignment, and an irrevocable agreement
by Escrow Agent to deliver the Purchaser’s Escrow Share to Purchaser in
accordance with this Section 3 ( the “Escrow
Agent Letter”).
Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing contained in this Section 3, in the
event the Redevelopment Agency agrees prior to the Closing Date to revise the
form of the Special Escrow Agreement such that the Escrow Amount is reduced
(the
“Escrow
Reduction”),
then
the Purchaser’s Principal Share and the Purchase Price will each be reduced by
the lesser of (a) $500,000.00 and (b) the amount of the Escrow
Reduction.
4. The
Deposit (a) is One Million Seven Hundred Fifty Eight Thousand Four Hundred
Eighty One and 00/100 ($1,758,481.00), (b) will be delivered to the Title
Company not later than two (2) Business Days following the effective date of
this Amendment, and (c) will be held by the Title Company and disbursed in
accordance with the Agreement. No further Deposit will be required of
Purchaser.
5. The
last
sentence of Section 8.1(a)(vii) of the Original Agreement and the last sentence
of Section 8.2(g) of the Original Agreement are deleted. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement and this Amendment, if
Seller has not by the Closing Date (A) obtained Seller’s LP Consent and the
Restrictions Release and (B) delivered the Escrow Assignment and caused the
delivery of the Escrow Agent Letter, then Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s option
and as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, terminate the Agreement by written
notice to Seller of such termination pursuant to this Section 5, in which case
(i) Seller will pay to Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days of such
termination $500,000 for a portion of its actual out-of-pocket expenses paid
or
owed to third parties in connection with this transaction (including without
limitation expenses in connection with the Agreement, due diligence expenses
and
expenses relating to Purchaser’s equity and debt financing initiatives) (ii)
Purchaser will have the right to receive a prompt refund of the Deposit, and
(iii) except with respect to the obligations and indemnities set forth in the
Agreement that survive termination, the Agreement shall be null and void and
the
parties shall have no further obligation to each other hereunder.

6. The
Closing Date is November 14, 2006. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9 of
the
Original Agreement, Section 5 of the Fourth Amendment or anything else in the
Agreement to the contrary, there will be no further extension of the Closing
Date for any reason. Seller represents that it has complied or will comply
in a
timely manner with (or has obtained or will obtain a waiver of) the notice
requirements for the redemption of the Bonds on November 15, 2006.
7. Notwithstanding
the revised Closing Date set forth in this Amendment, Purchaser’s obligation for
Monthly Rental Payments pursuant to Section 7.1(b) of the Original Agreement
shall continue to cease as of July 14, 2006.
8. In
order
for the Title Company to insure under the owner’s and lender’s title policy
against any delinquent amounts owed with respect to those certain Franchise
Ordinance No. 166 and Franchise Ordinance No. 167 set forth in the Title
Commitment, Seller will, at Seller’s option, either (a) provide by Closing a
letter from the City of Jersey City reasonably satisfactory to the Title Company
or (b) enter into a reasonable indemnity or escrow arrangement with the Title
Company in order to induce the Title Company to provide such insurance
coverage.
9. Notwithstanding
Section 2.1(gg) of the Original Agreement, Personal Property to be conveyed
by
Seller to Purchaser shall include the personal property listed on Exhibit
B
attached
hereto (which personal property will include any of Seller’s rights, to the
extent assignable, with respect to software stored on any computer hardware
listed thereon).
10. This
Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the
State of New Jersey.
11. This
Amendment shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors
and
permitted assigns.
12. To
facilitate execution, this Amendment may be executed in as many counterparts
as
may be required. It shall not be necessary that the signatures on behalf of
all
parties appear on each counterpart hereof. All counterparts hereof shall
collectively constitute a single agreement. For purposes of this Amendment,
facsimile signatures shall be deemed originals. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Amendment, the parties hereto agree that the execution and
delivery of this Amendment and any amendments hereto may be conducted by
electronic means as provided by the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act,
N.J.S.A. 12A:12-1 et
