by and between the Vendor, the Purchaser and Entertainment Properties Trust. All
defined terms set forth in this Notice shall have the respective meanings set
forth in the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and confirms the following:
1. it has completed its due diligence relating to the Property, the Permitted
Encumbrances, and the Mandatory Assumed Contracts to its satisfaction;
2. it is waiving its requirement to be satisfied with respect to any financing
it requires to complete the purchase of the Purchase Assets;
3. it has satisfied itself that all consents necessary or appropriate to
consummate the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement have
been, or will be obtained by Closing, save and except for the Land Lease
Consents which remain a condition to Closing as provided in Section 8.2(g)
of the Purchase Agreement; and
4. it has determined that the transactions contemplated herein do not violate
any law or regulation applicable to the Purchaser or EPR.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, including the waiver in paragraph 2
above, the Vendor agrees by execution of this Notice that Closing is conditional
on (i) the First Mortgage having been advanced to the Purchaser (which condition
is for the exclusive benefit of the Purchaser), unless the failure to advance is
as a result of the Purchaser's default of the terms of the commitment letter
issued to it, and (ii) the Purchase Agreement being amended on the terms of the
amending agreement respecting the Purchase Agreement substantially in the form
circulated by Stikeman Elliott LLP on January 19, 2004 (the "AMENDING
AGREEMENT").
The Purchaser agrees to cause EPR to purchase the Note issued pursuant to
Section 3.5(1)(b) of the Purchase Agreement in exchange for that number of EPR
common stock calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Number of EPR = Canadian $6,840,123.00
common stock ------------------------------------------------------
US $36.25 converted to Canadian dollars using the
Bank of Canada Noon Rate on the Closing Date
The Purchaser acknowledges that the Vendor's obligation to complete the
transaction contemplated in the Purchase Agreement shall be conditional upon it
obtaining approval from the Purchaser's lender with respect to the Covenant not
to Encumber and Covenant not to Transfer, to be registered on title to the
Property.
The parties agree that Section 3.4(2) of the Purchase Agreement shall be
amended to replace "Four Million Three Hundred Thousand ($4,300,000.00) Dollars"
with "Five Million Five Hundred Thousand ($5,500,000.00) Dollars."
Agreed to by the parties this 23rd day of January, 2004.

escrow agent (the "ESCROW AGENT") shall enter into an agreement (the
"ESCROW AGREEMENT") pursuant to which the Purchaser shall deliver the
sum of Three Million, Five Hundred and Sixty-Two Thousand, Eight
Hundred and Sixty-Four ($3,562,864) Dollars (which amount excludes
$2,150,000 of the anticipated profit portion of the Special
Adjustments for the Leased Unbuilt Liberty ITM Leases), by way of a
letter of credit in favour of the Vendor, issued by a Canadian
chartered bank, in a form to be agreed upon prior to the Due Diligence

and obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary

the Purchaser and the Vendor shall cooperate to ensure that the First
Mortgagee's approval is sought as expeditiously as possible, and, if
