	 	B.	 Seller and Purchaser desire to amend the Purchase Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof. 



 

	 	C.	 Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings and definitions established in the Purchase Agreement.



 Based upon the above recitals and in consideration of the premises, mutual covenants and agreements
hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	 The Inspection Period in Article 1 shall be redefined to mean the period expiring at 5:00 p.m. local Atlanta, Georgia time on August 20, 2010.



  

	 	2.	 Section 3.1(a) of the Purchase Agreement is amended to provide that if Purchaser, in its sole discretion (and for any and no reason) determines
that it wishes to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to Seller and the Escrow Agent on or before 5:00 p.m. Atlanta, Georgia time on the last day of the Inspection Period, which is changed to

reasonable efforts to enable the Additional Earnest Money to be deposited with the Escrow Agent on or before the close of business in Atlanta Georgia on August 20, 2010; provided, that the
receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Additional Earnest Money does not constitute the Notice of Election to Proceed and such funds remain refundable to Purchaser until Purchaser has delivered the Notice of Election to Proceed to Seller as provided for
in this Amendment, and further provided that if Purchaser has initiated the wire transmission to the Escrow Agent and has received a wire confirmation number from Purchaser’s bank on August 20, 2010, the failure of the wire to reach the
Escrow Agent before close of business in Atlanta Georgia on August 20, 2010 or the failure of the Escrow Agent to timely confirm receipt of the funds on behalf of Seller on that date shall not provide a basis for termination of the Purchase
Agreement by Seller. 


  

	 	5.	 All other terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement are unmodified and remain in full force and effect.
