AGREEMENT

1.    Closing Date. The first three sentences of Section 5.1 of the Contract shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

"Subject to the conditions precedent under Article VIII, the Closing shall occur on July 31, 2008 (the "Closing Date") through an escrow with Escrow Agent, whereby the Sellers, Purchaser and their attorneys need not be physically present at the Closing and may deliver documents by overnight air courier or other means. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, any Seller shall have the option, by delivering written notice to Purchaser, to extend the Closing Date to the last Business Day of the month in which the Closing Date otherwise would occur pursuant to the preceding sentence, in connection with any Seller's payment in full of its Note (the "Loan Payoff"), and the exercise of such option shall extend the Closing Date for all Properties. Further, the Closing Date may be extended without penalty at the option of any Seller to a date not later than 30 days following the Closing Date specified in the first sentence of this paragraph above (or, if applicable, as extended by any Seller pursuant to the second sentence of this paragraph)."

2.

 Extension Fee_; At the Closing, in consideration of the extension of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers a fee in the amount of $25,000.00 (the "Extension Fee") which shall be in addition to the Purchase Price and any other fees and costs required to be paid by the Purchaser pursuant to the Contract.

3.

 Purchase Price Escrow Agreement. The parties previously negotiated and agreed upon the terms and conditions of that certain Purchase Price Escrow Agreement, which is to be executed by the parties at Closing. Subject to both parties' approval of the specific provisions as drafted, the parties acknowledge and conceptually agree that the Purchase Price Escrow Agreement will be modified to permit the Purchase Price Escrow Amount (as defined in the Purchase Price Escrow Agreement) to be comprised of cash from sales proceeds, letter(s) of credit, or any combination thereof, in the precise amounts to be determined by Sellers; provided that the total principal amount of the Purchase Price Escrow Amount shall equal $3,458,250.00.

4.

 Ratification of Contract. All terms and provisions of the Contract not specifically modified or amended by this First Amendment shall remain in full force and effect, and the Contract, as expressly modified herein, is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved in all respects by the parties hereto.

5.

Miscellaneous. The following provisions shall apply with respect to this First Amendment:

a.

In the event of any conflict between the Contract and this First Amendment, the terms and conditions of this First Amendment shall control.

b.

This First Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which (or any combination of which) when signed by all of the parties shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one agreement. Executed copies hereof may be delivered by telecopier or electronic mail and upon receipt shall be deemed originals and binding upon the parties hereto, and actual originals shall be promptly delivered thereafter.
