execution of this Amendment and prior to Closing, the Company shall have the
right, by providing notice to Parent OP in accordance with the Contribution
Agreement, to supplement or amend the Company Schedules if necessary or
advisable to reflect any matter reasonably contemplated by this Amendment, which
Company Schedules, if amended or supplemented, shall be effective for all
purposes of the Contribution Agreement.




21.         No Other
Amendments.  Except as otherwise expressly amended or modified
hereby, all of the terms and conditions of the Contribution Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect.  Each reference to “hereof”,
“hereunder”, “herein” and “hereby” and each similar reference in the
Contribution Agreement shall refer to the Contribution Agreement as amended
hereby.




22.         Entire Agreement;
Assignment.




(a)         This
Amendment, the Contribution Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 thereto), the
Barceloneta Contribution Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain
the entire agreement of the parties hereto respecting the subject matter hereof
and supersede all prior agreements among the parties hereto respecting the
same.  The parties hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their
rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the subject matter hereof
exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this
Amendment, the Contribution Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 thereto), the
Barceloneta Contribution Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the
parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled
to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Amendment, the Contribution
Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 thereto), the Barceloneta Contribution
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.  Furthermore, the
parties hereto each hereby acknowledges that this Amendment embodies the
justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length
negotiations; all parties to this Amendment specifically acknowledge that no
party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any
expectation beyond that of ordinary parties in an arm’s-length
transaction.  The sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of the
terms and provisions of this Amendment, the Contribution Agreement (including
Amendment No. 1 thereto), the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents (including any representations and warranties set forth
herein, the Contribution Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 thereto), the
Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, made in
connection herewith, the Contribution Agreement (including Amendment No. 1
thereto), the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents or as an inducement to enter into this Amendment, the Contribution
Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 thereto), the Barceloneta Contribution
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents) or any claim or cause of action
otherwise arising out of or related to the Contemplated Transactions shall be
those remedies available at law or in equity for breach of contract only (as
such contractual remedies have been further limited or excluded pursuant to the
express terms of the Contribution Agreement (including Amendment No. 1 thereto),
the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction Documents); and
each party hereto hereby agrees that no party hereto shall have any remedies or
cause of action (whether in contract or in tort) for any statements,
communications, disclosures, failures to disclose, representations or warranties
not set forth in this Amendment, the Contribution Agreement (including Amendment
No. 1 thereto), the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims by any Parent Party
against any Contributor, to the extent arising from the Fraud of such
Contributor, shall not be prohibited by this Section
22.


12


(b)         This
Amendment may not be assigned by any party (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) without the prior written consent of Parent REIT, Parent OP, the
Company and the Representative.  Any attempted assignment of this
Amendment not in accordance with the terms of this Section 22 shall be
void; provided,
however, that
so long as such assignment would not prevent or materially impair or delay the
Closing of the Contemplated Transactions, Parent REIT, Parent OP or Parent Sub
may assign this Amendment and any of their rights under this Amendment to one or
more Affiliates of Parent REIT, Parent OP or Parent Sub; provided, that any
such assignment shall not relieve Parent REIT, Parent OP or Parent Sub of any of
their obligations hereunder.




23.         Governing
Law.  This Amendment, and all claims or causes of action
(whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to
this Amendment, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Amendment
(including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to
any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Amendment or
as an inducement to enter into this Amendment), shall be governed by the
internal laws of the State of Delaware as applicable to agreements made and to
be performed entirely within the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict
of law principles or rules.




24.         Fees and
Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Amendment, the Contribution Agreement or Annex E thereof, whether or not the
Closing is consummated, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this
Amendment, the Contribution Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions,
including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial
advisors and accountants, shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or
expenses.




25.         Construction;
Interpretation.  The term “this Amendment” means this Amendment
together with all schedules, exhibits and annexes hereto, as the same may from
time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with
the terms hereof.  The headings contained in this Amendment are
inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Amendment.  No party, nor its respective
counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Amendment for purposes of
construing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Amendment shall be
construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any
party hereto.  Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by
the context or use thereof: (i) the words, “herein”, “hereto”, “hereof” and
words of similar import refer to this Amendment as a whole, including, without
limitation, the Schedules, exhibits and annexes, and not to any particular
section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this
Amendment; (ii) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral
genders, and vice versa; and (iii) words importing the singular shall also
include the plural, and vice versa.


13


26.         Exhibits, Annexes and
Schedules.  All exhibits, annexes and Schedules, or documents
expressly incorporated into this Amendment, are hereby incorporated into this
Amendment and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this
Amendment.  The specification of any dollar amount in this Amendment
or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule is not intended to imply
that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other
items, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting
of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy
as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included
in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Amendment.




27.         Severability.  If
any term or other provision of this Amendment is invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, all other provisions of this Amendment shall remain in full force
and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Contemplated
Transactions (as amended hereby) is not affected in any manner materially
adverse to any party.




28.         Counterparts. This
Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to
this Amendment by facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart to this Amendment.




29.         Waiver of Jury
Trial.  Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or
cause of action (i) arising under this Amendment or (ii) in any way connected
with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties in respect of this
Amendment or any of the transactions related hereto, in each case, whether now
existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or
otherwise.  Each party hereto hereby further agrees and consents that
any such claim, demand, action, or cause of action shall be decided by court
trial without a jury and that the parties hereto may file a copy of this
Amendment with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties
hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.




30.         Jurisdiction and
Venue.  Each of the parties hereto (i) submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Delaware, in any action or
proceeding (whether in contract or tort) arising out of or relating to this
Amendment, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Amendment
(including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to
any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Amendment or
as an inducement to enter into this Amendment), (ii) agrees that all such claims
in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in any
such court and (iii) agrees not to bring any such action or proceeding in any
other court.  Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and
waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other
parties hereto with respect thereto.  Each of the parties hereto
agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be
served in any action or proceeding may be made on such party by sending or
delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address of the
party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 12.2 of the
Contribution Agreement.  Nothing in this Section 30, however,
shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other
manner permitted by Law.  Each party hereto agrees that a final,
non-appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be
conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by Law.
