other casualty (herein "Casualty Damage") before the delivery of the deed

hereof shall be returned to Buyer and thereupon all rights and
liabilities arising hereunder shall terminate; or

Buyer of Seller's election to terminate this Contract pursuant to the terms
and provisions of this paragraph, Buyer shall have the right within ten
(10) Business Days after being served with any such notice by Seller, or

Improvements on the Real Property encroach on other lands (herein referred

or Survey Defects without reduction in the Purchase Price, or (b) terminate
this Contract. In the event Buyer elects to terminate this Contract, the
Deposit paid by Buyer under the terms hereof shall be returned to Buyer and
thereupon all rights and liabilities arising hereunder shall terminate. In
the event Seller, by Seller's Notice, elects to attempt to cure any
Encroachments or Survey Defects, Seller shall have a period of sixty (60)

immediately to attempt to cure Encroachments or Survey Defects after notice
by Seller or its attorney to Buyer that Seller will attempt to cure
Encroachments or Survey Defects, and Seller shall use reasonable diligence
to attempt to cure any such Encroachments or Survey Defects. In the event

Therefore, this Contract is specifically conditioned upon

to the reinstatement and assumption of the Mortgage Loan and the
modification of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any and
all service fees and other fees payable to Equitable, and any and all costs
in connection with the closing thereof.
In the event Buyer is unable to obtain and furnish to Seller
Equitable's said Consent and Approval satisfactory to Buyer in its sole and
absolute discretion within thirty (30) days after the Due Diligence Period,
Buyer or Seller may terminate this Contract by written notice to the other;
and upon such termination the Initial Deposit paid by Buyer shall be
returned to Buyer and thereupon all rights and liabilities arising
hereunder shall terminate.
Further, in the event (i) Buyer obtains and furnishes to
Seller the Consent and Approval of Equitable as herein provided, (ii) Buyer
pays to Escrow Agent the Additional Deposit as provided in this Contract,
and (iii) Equitable fails or refuses to close the Mortgage Loan
Modification and Assumption contemporaneously with the closing of the sale

such termination the Deposit paid by Buyer under the terms hereof shall be
returned to Buyer and thereupon all rights and liabilities arising
hereunder shall terminate.

be seventy-five percent (75%) of the valuation increase for the
first increment, then fifty percent (50%) and twenty-five percent

capitalization rate computed only on the Base Rent ["Base Rent"
is defined as the average rent payable by Fawcett under all
leases based on the average rent payable on each lease for the
first five (5) years of the term of each lease], provided the New
Leases are for a minimum lease term of five (5) years.

tenant allowances for all New Leases shall not exceed the sum of

shall be in form and content acceptable to Buyer in its
reasonable discretion.
E. Any Leasing Earnout payable to Seller under the terms
hereof shall be reduced by (i) the loss of income due to the
relocation of any Existing Tenant, (ii) the amount of Buyer's
actual cost associated with tenant improvements and other

F. Any Leasing Earnout payable to Seller by Buyer under
the terms hereof shall be due and payable upon the acceptance of
and the execution of any such New Lease by Fawcett, provided,
however, any Leasing Earnout due and payable to Seller under the
terms hereof prior to closing shall be paid by Buyer to Seller at
closing.
G. Any New Lease shall not violate any exclusive use
clause existing in any one of the Existing Leases.
H. All New Leases must be executed no later than

SECOND AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT
FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL ESTATE
THIS AGREEMENT supplements and amends that certain Contract
for Purchase and Sale of Real Estate by and among CONNECTICUT
GENERAL REALTY INVESTORS III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Connecticut
limited partnership ("Seller"), STERLING EQUITIES, INC., a Florida
corporation ("Original Buyer"), and CARLTON, FIELDS, WARD,
EMMANUEL, SMITH & CUTLER, P.A. ("Escrow Agent"), having an
Effective Date of July 19, 1994 ("Original Contract").
Preliminary Statements:
Original Buyer assigned all of its right, title and interest
in and to the Original Contract to Sterling Equities, a Florida
general partnership. Sterling Equities, Seller and Escrow Agent
then amended the Original Contract as provided in an Amendment to
Contract for Purchase and Sale of Real Estate, executed by Seller
on August 18, 1994 and Sterling Equities and Escrow Agent on
August 19, 1994 ("First Amendment"). Sterling Equities has
assigned all of its right, title and interest in and to the
Original Contract, as amended by the First Amendment (as so
amended, the "Contract"), to Sterling Promenades Limited
Partnership, a Florida limited partnership ("Buyer"). The Seller
has not assigned any right, title or interest in or to the
Contract.
Buyer, Seller and Escrow Agent desire to further amend the
Original Contract as hereinafter set forth, with the joinder and
consent of CSC Realty Partners, Inc., and Sterling Services, L.C.
Any capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the
meanings set forth in the Original Contract.
W I T N E S S E T H:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Buyer and Seller agree as
follows:
1. The foregoing preliminary statements are true, correct
and incorporated herein by reference.
2. The Buyer shall pay the Seller at closing in cash
$272,000.00, which sum shall be payable in addition to the
Purchase Price and in lieu of the Leasing Earnout. In
consideration of the Buyer's agreement to pay this additional sum
to the Seller at closing, the Seller hereby waives and releases
any and all right to claim or receive all or any portion of the
Leasing Earnout, which shall never become due and payable,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the
Contract.
3. The commission payable to CSC Realty Partners, Inc., as
described in Section 10 of the Contract, is hereby reduced from
$252,000.00 to $202,000.00.
4. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer
harmless against any and all loss or damage which Buyer may
sustain as a result of any claim for compensation asserted by The
Trammell Crow Company or any of its affiliates as a result of any
lease which may now or hereafter be entered into by Buyer, as
landlord, and Fawcett Hospital or any of its affiliates, as
tenant, including, but not limited to, any and all commission or
other compensation now or hereafter claimed to be due and owing
and all attorneys' fees incurred by Buyer in the defense of any
such claim, whether incurred at pre-trial, trial, appellate or
post-judgement proceedings.
5. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in any
number of counterparts.
6. This Agreement amends the Contract to the extent that
the Contract is inconsistent herewith; otherwise, the Contract
remains unchanged and in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Buyer, Seller and Escrow Agent have
executed this Agreement as of the 21st day of September, 1994.
