("Hi-Grade"), which is one of the tenants of the Eastgate Land, has refused to execute and deliver an estoppel certificate as requested by Seller and subsequently failed to pay its rent for December, 1997, and because of other actions taken and statements made by Hi-Grade indicating its intent to refuse to comply with its obligations under its lease of space in the Eastgate Land, Buyer is not willing to proceed with the purchase of the Eastgate Land pursuant to the terms of the Agreement; and WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller desire to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Corporex Plaza I Land and the Presidents Plaza Land pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement; NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows: 1.

Within seven (7) days after Buyer receives the Sale Notice, Buyer shall notify Tampa in writing whether Buyer is interested in attempting to purchase the Eastgate Land; if within seven (7) days after Buyer receives the Sale Notice Buyer does not notify Tampa in writing that Buyer is interested in attempting to purchase the Eastgate Land, all rights of Buyer and all obligations of Tampa under this paragraph 4 shall terminate and be of no further effect. If within seven (7) days after Buyer receives the Sale Notice Buyer does notify Tampa in writing that Buyer is interested in attempting to purchase the Eastgate Land, then Buyer and Tampa shall thereafter attempt to negotiate, execute and deliver to one another a Letter of Intent for the purchase and sale of the Eastgate Land in form and substance acceptable to Buyer, in its sole discretion, and to Tampa, in its sole discretion; if Buyer and Tampa fail to execute and deliver to each other a mutually acceptable Letter of Intent for the purchase and sale of the Eastgate Land within twenty-one (21) days after Buyer receives the Sale Notice, Buyer may, within twenty-one (21) days after Buyer receives the Sale Notice, execute and deliver to Tampa a Final Letter of Intent ("Buyer's Best Offer") indicating Buyer's highest and best offer for the Eastgate Land, and providing for the execution of a new contract for the purchase and sale of the Eastgate Land, which new contract shall be substantially the same as the Agreement, except modified to apply to only the Eastgate Land, and providing for a due diligence period of not more than thirty (30) days from the date of execution of the new contract, and requiring closing to occur not more than ten (10) days after the expiration of the due diligence period. If within twenty-one (21) days after Buyer -2- 3 receives the Sale Notice, (i) Buyer and Tampa fail to execute and deliver to each other a mutually acceptable Letter of Intent for the purchase and sale of the Eastgate Land, and (ii) Buyer fails to deliver to Tampa Buyer's Best Offer, then all rights of Buyer and all obligations of Tampa under this paragraph 4 shall automatically terminate and be of no further effect. If within twenty-one (21) days after Buyer receives the Sale Notice, (i) Buyer and Tampa fail to execute and deliver to each other a mutually acceptable Letter of Intent for the purchase and sale of the Eastgate Land, and (ii) Buyer does deliver to Tampa Buyer's Best Offer, and if Buyer's Best Offer is not accepted by Tampa, then Tampa may sell the Eastgate Land to any third party, except that Tampa may not, within one hundred twenty (120) days after Tampa receives Buyer's Best Offer, enter into a contract to sell the Eastgate Land to any third party for a purchase price, before closing adjustments, equal to or less than the purchase price provided in Buyer's Best Offer. 4.
