RECITALS

A.    Seller and Purchaser entered into a Real Estate Sale Agreement dated as of June 8, 2009, as amended by that certain Reinstatement of and First Amendment to Real Estate Sale Agreement dated as of July 23, 2009 and that certain Second Amendment to Real Estate Sale Agreement dated as of August 6, 2009 (collectively, the “Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller agreed to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agreed to buy from Seller the Property (as defined in the Agreement).

B.    Seller and Purchaser have agreed to modify the terms of the Agreement as set forth in this Amendment.

THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals, the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth and the benefits to be derived therefrom, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Purchaser and Seller agree as follows:

1.    Incorporation of Recitals; Definitions. The foregoing recitals are incorporated herein as a substantive part of this Amendment. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given such terms in the Agreement. Section numbers refer to the corresponding section numbers in the Agreement.

2.    Survey. Purchaser has reviewed the Updated Survey but is waiting to receive certain zoning information with respect to matters raised on the Updated Survey. Seller hereby agrees that Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on August 12, 2009 to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Updated Survey. If Purchaser determines that the Updated Survey is unsatisfactory based on said zoning information and so notifies Seller in writing within the aforesaid time period, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be returned to Purchaser, at which time this Agreement shall be null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except those which expressly survive termination. Purchaser’s failure to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be conclusively deemed a waiver by Purchaser of the condition contained in this Section 2.

3.    Effectiveness of Agreement. Except as modified by this Amendment, all the terms of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

This Amendment may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
