Warranty Deed ("Deed") in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, conveying good

                  (b) Seller agrees to provide a copy of its most recent

this Contract by both parties, issued by a title insurance company selected by
Buyer, committing to insure fee simple title to the Property in the amount of
the Purchase Price for such Property in Buyer's name, with all standard
exceptions removed (except for the rights of tenants under unrecorded leases
and/or except for standard exceptions normally not removed pursuant to local
custom with respect to the Real Property), and containing no other exceptions
not specifically approved by Buyer. Buyer will provide a copy of said title

days after signing this Agreement. Buyer shall have five (5) days after receipt
of the Title Commitment to examine the Title Commitment and the existing survey
provided by Seller to Buyer to inform Seller of Buyer's objection to any
exception contained in or title defect revealed by the Title Commitment or the
existing survey. It is understood that Buyer also intends to obtain an updated
survey of the Property. Buyer shall have the right to object to any new matters
shown on the updated survey, but Buyer shall have no right to object if the
updated survey does not reveal any objectionable exceptions. In no event shall
Buyer have the right to object to any matters on the updated survey after the
expiration of thirty (30) days from the execution of this Agreement.

                  (c) If Buyer's examination of the Title Commitment or the
survey reveals that the Title Commitment for the Real Property contains
objectionable exceptions or that the title to the Real Property is defective, or
if Buyer's lender requires the removal of any exceptions to the title commitment
or defects revealed by the survey and thereafter, the issuing title insurance
company refuses to delete the objectionable exceptions or the defects cannot be
cured within a reasonable period of time after written notice by Buyer,
specifically pointing out the objection/defects, then Buyer may elect to
terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller.

                  (d) Seller will pay for preparation of the Deed for the Real
Property, and for State and local transfer taxes.

deductible under Seller's insurance) and there shall be assigned to the Buyer at
closing, all interest of the Seller in and to any insurance proceeds or

<PAGE>
                  (f) Seller retains all liability and responsibility for
fulfilling all federal and/or state COBRA and continuation of group health
insurance coverage requirements (pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code, sections
601-608 of ERISA, and any applicable state laws) with respect to Seller's
current or former employees (and their dependents). Buyer does not hereby and
will not at the Closing of the Property assume any obligation to provide medical

however, Seller warrants that all occupied units will have appliances and
mechanical systems in working condition at closing. In addition, Seller agrees
to respond to normal work orders in the ordinary course of business through
closing. To the best knowledge of the principal of Seller, Joseph M. Jayson,
without independent investigation, there are no major structural or mechanical
problems at the Property.

         SECTION 9.  NON-PERFORMANCE.

                  (a) If Seller fails to deliver the Deed, perform its
obligations hereunder, or meet any of the conditions hereof, Buyer, at Buyer's
sole option, may (i) terminate this Agreement whereupon the Earnest Money shall
be returned to Buyer on demand or (ii) Buyer may bring an action for specific
performance, and if Buyer prevails, all reasonable costs and expenses of any
such action shall be paid by Seller as a reduction of the Purchase Price, or
(iii) bring an action for monetary damages. The foregoing shall be the sole and
exclusive remedies of Buyer. However, if Buyer elects to bring an action for
monetary damages, they shall be specifically limited, if proven, to an amount
equal to the Earnest Money on deposit as set forth hereinabove and Buyer's Due
Diligence costs. Any damages resulting from a breach of any warranty or
representation either before or after Closing shall be subject to the same
limitation and aggregated with any damages for breach of this Agreement as set
forth above. The foregoing sentence shall not be applicable with respect to
fraud, or any material intentional misrepresentation.

                  (b) If Buyer defaults at any time, Seller and Buyer agree that
it will be extremely difficult or impractical to fix Seller's actual damages.
Therefore, in such an event, the entire Earnest Money shall be delivered to
Seller as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty. Buyer
will then be released from all liability to Seller related to this Agreement,
such liquidated damages being Seller's sole remedy.

                Re:          Agreement and Plan of Merger Between

American Spectrum Realty, Inc. and Villa Redondo LLC

 

Gentlemen:

 

                The following sets

forth our agreement with respect to the Amendment of the Agreement and Plan of

Merger (the “Agreement”) dated August 6, 2000.

 

                In accordance with

the Agreement, Villa Redondo LLC (“Villa Redondo”) was to be merged with and

into American Spectrum Realty, Inc. or American Spectrum Realty Operating

Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”).  The parties have determined that it would be in the best

interests of the parties if, instead of a merger, American Spectrum Realty,

Inc. acquired all of the membership interests of Villa Redondo LLC from CGS

Real Estate Company, Inc. (“CGS”), its sole member.   Accordingly, the parties have agreed to amend the Agreement as

follows:

 

                1.             CGS, the sole member of Villa

Redondo, will assign all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the

membership interests in Villa Redondo to the Operating Partnership.  CGS represents that it owns all of the

membership interests in Villa Redondo free and clear of all liens, claims and

encumbrances and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this

agreement and perform its obligations hereunder.

 

                2.             The closing of the transfer

(“Transfer”), pursuant to the Agreement, shall take place simultaneously with

the execution of this letter agreement.

 

                3.             At the closing, CGS shall deliver to

the Operating Partnership an assignment, assigning all of its right, title and

interest in and to the membership interests in Villa Redondo to the Operating

Partnership.

 

 

 

                4. At the closing,

the Operating Partnership shall deliver to CGS certificates certifying that

they are the owner of 358,666 Operating Partnership Units in the Operating

Partnership, representing the Exchange Value (as defined in the final

Prospectus/Consent Solicitation Statement) of Villa Redondo of  $5,380,000 divided by $15.  In the event that the property owned by

Villa Redondo LLC is sold prior to the consummation of the Consolidation for a

purchase price (after repayment of debt) less than the Exchange Value, then CGS

shall return to the Operating Partnership a number of Operating Partnership

units equal to the difference between the Exchange Value and such purchase

price (after repayment of debt), divided by $15.

 

                5.             Each of CGS and the Operating

Partnership shall execute a signature page to the Operating Partnership

Agreement admitting CGS as a partner in the Operating Partnership.

 

                6.             Each of CGS and the Operating

Partnership shall execute all other instruments which may be necessary or

desirable to reflect the admission of CGS as a partner in the Operating

Partnership and to reflect the admission of the Operating Partnership as the

sole member of Villa Redondo.

 

                7.             Except as modified hereby, the

Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.  All defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall

have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.

 

                Please confirm your

acceptance of and agreement with the foregoing by executing a copy of this

letter in the space provided below.
