3.             Section 9.3 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting "April 17, 2014" on the third line thereof and substituting “May 15, 2014” therefor.

against, any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, which Seller may sustain, incur or be exposed to by
reason of any claim for fees made by JLL in connection with its due diligence

6.                 
At the end of Section 10.5(b) of the Agreement, the following sentence
is hereby inserted: “In addition to the foregoing, at Closing, Purchaser shall
pay Seller $100,000.00 to reimburse Seller for its internal overhead expenses
incurred in connection with this transaction.  The parties agree that $100,000.00
represents a reasonable estimate of such expenses, and Seller shall not be
required to deliver proof of such expenses.” 


 


7.                 
The provisions of this First Amendment are made a part of the subject
Agreement and shall supersede, govern and control all provisions in the Agreement
in conflict herewith.  Seller and Buyer ratify and reaffirm the Agreement as
modified by this First Amendment, and warrant and represent to one another that
the Agreement, as modified by this First Amendment, is in full force and effect
and has not been further amended or modified and acknowledge and agree that,
except as modified by this First Amendment, the rights and obligations of the

construed in accordance with the law of the District of Columbia.


 


9.                 
Each party to this First Amendment shall execute all instruments and
documents and take such further action as may be reasonably required to
effectuate the purposes of this First Amendment.  Only a writing executed by
the parties hereto may modify this First Amendment.


  


10.

sign this First Amendment, will constitute a complete and fully executed
agreement.  All such fully executed counterparts will collectively constitute a
single agreement.  The delivery of an executed counterpart of this First
Amendment via electronic means, such as e-mail or facsimile, shall be as
legally binding on the party so delivering same as the delivery of a counterpart
bearing an original signature.


11.             
This First Amendment shall be binding upon the parties hereto, as well
as their successors and permitted assigns.
