WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller wish to ratify, modify and amend the terms of the Agreement in the manner set forth herein.


NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties, and other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged and agreed by each of the parties, Seller and Purchaser do hereby covenant and agree as follows:


1.Recitals. Seller and Purchaser do hereby mutually represent and warrant that the foregoing recitals are true and correct, and said recitals are hereby ratified, confirmed, and incorporated into the body of this Ninth Amendment.


2.Defined Terms. Any capitalized terms utilized in this Ninth Amendment and which are not separately defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Agreement.


3.Ratification. Purchaser and Seller agree that the Agreement and, except for the terms and conditions which are modified and amended by this Ninth Amendment, the terms and conditions thereof, are hereby ratified by the parties hereto.


4.Financing. Seller acknowledges that despite Purchaser’s previous delivery of the Notice to Proceed to Seller, Purchaser has not as of the date hereof been able to secure loan financing acceptable to Purchaser. Therefore, if on or prior to the Phase III Closing, Purchaser is unable to secure financing from a lender for debt sufficient, together with Purchaser’s contribution, to acquire the Phase III Property for the Phase III Purchase Price on terms acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion, then Purchaser shall be permitted to terminate the Agreement on written notice to Seller, in which event the entire Deposit of Three Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars 








($3,750,000.00) shall be returned to Purchaser and Purchaser and Seller shall have no further rights or obligations under the Agreement except those which expressly survive a termination of the Agreement.


5.Deposit Refundability. The entire Deposit of Three Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($3,750,000.00) shall be non-refundable to Purchaser except upon (i) the occurrence of any event or circumstance described in Sections 10, 11, 29(p) or 29(q) of the Original Agreement that requires the payment of the Deposit to Purchaser, or (ii) Purchaser terminating the Agreement on or before the Phase III Closing pursuant to Section 4 of this Ninth Amendment (each, a “Ninth Amendment Deposit Refundability Event”). In the event of the occurrence of a Ninth Amendment Deposit Refundability Event, Escrow Agent shall refund the entire $3,750,000.00 Deposit to Purchaser, and Purchaser and Seller shall have no further rights or obligations under the Agreement except those which expressly survive a termination of the Agreement.


6.Phase III Closing Date. The Phase III Closing Date shall be no later than October 15, 2021.


7.Title/Survey. Purchaser agrees that the Deposit is non-refundable to Purchaser with respect to its objections to the Commitment and Survey for the Phase III Property, however Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer to attempt to resolve such objections.


8.Modification. Except as modified by this Ninth Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Ninth Amendment and the terms of the Agreement, the terms of this Ninth Amendment shall govern. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that the Agreement, as amended by this Ninth Amendment, shall constitute a valid and binding contract between Seller and Purchaser.


9.Counterparts; Facsimile. This Ninth Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. An electronic mail copy of this Ninth Amendment and any signatures hereon shall be considered for all purposes as originals.
