Seller and Purchaser have previously executed and entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions dated as of July 28, 2004 (the "Agreement"), for the sale by Seller, and the purchase by Purchaser, of the property located at 100 Alicante Plaza, Garden Grove, California, in, on, by and through which is operated a hotel and hospitality business under the name "Hyatt Regency Orange County." B. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Inspection Period expires on August 27, 2004. C. Purchaser has advised Seller that it has yet to complete its due diligence and inspection of the Property, and has requested that Seller agree to extend the Inspection Period. D. Seller is amenable to extending the Inspection Period provided that the entire amount of the Earnest Money Deposit is delivered by Purchaser to Escrow Holder and deposited into the Escrow, and that the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) thereof is immediately released to Seller on a non-refundable basis, all as more fully set forth hereinbelow. E. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, with reference to the foregoing Recitals, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree as follows: I. AMENDMENT 1.1 In consideration of Purchaser's performance of its obligations under this Amendment, Seller and Purchaser agree to extend the Inspection Period to 3:00 p.m. California time on September 17, 2004. 1 1.2 On or before 1:00 p.m. California time on August 27, 2004, Purchaser shall deposit into the Escrow with Escrow Holder an additional Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000), for a total Earnest Money Deposit on deposit with Escrow Holder of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). Together with the deposit of the additional Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000), Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Holder irrevocable and unconditional instructions for the immediate release of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) of the Earnest Money Deposit (the "Released Deposit") to Seller (or Seller's Intermediary, as directed by Seller). Purchaser and Seller agree that the Released Deposit shall be non-refundable to Purchaser, whether or not Purchaser elects to proceed with the transaction memorialized in the Agreement (including based upon the final results of its due diligence review and inspection and election to terminate the Agreement as permitted in Section 4.4 thereof). 1.3 Upon the expiration of the Inspection Period, that portion of the Earnest Money Deposit then held by Escrow Holder (i.e., the sum of $500,000) shall become non-refundable to Purchaser (unless prior thereto, Seller and Escrow Holder receive from Purchaser a Notice in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.4 of the Agreement that Purchaser elects to terminate the Agreement and cancel the Escrow). The Earnest Money Deposit (including the Released Deposit) shall be applied and credited to the Purchase Price at the Close of Escrow. 1.4 The Closing Date shall be September 27, 2004. 1.5 Purchaser acknowledges that, as of the date of this Amendment, to the best knowledge of Purchaser, Seller is not in default of any of its covenants and obligations under the Agreement, and that Seller has complied with all of its covenants and obligations to Purchaser or otherwise as required by the terms of the Agreement and/or applicable law.
