NOW, THEREFORE, Lender and Borrower, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each, do hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Modification. The Contract shall be, and the same is, modified in the following manner:
(a) The definition of the term “Indebtedness” in the Loan Agreement, Mortgage, and Assignment of Rents is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Indebtedness: (i) The principal, interest and other sums evidenced by the Note or the Loan Documents; (ii) any other amounts, payments or premiums payable under the Loan Documents; (iii) the principal, interest and other sums evidenced by that certain promissory note from TOTB Miami to Lender dated November 17, 2014 in the original principal amount of $13,000,000.00 (the “Miami Note”) or the documents evidencing, securing, or relating thereto (together with the Miami Note, referred to herein collectively as the “Miami Loan Documents”); (iv) any other amounts, payments or premiums payable under the Miami Loan Documents; (v) such additional or future sums (whether or not obligatory), with interest thereon, as may hereafter be borrowed by or advanced from Lender, its successors or assigns, to the then record owner of the Mortgaged Property, when evidenced by a promissory note which, by its terms, is secured by the Lien Instrument (it being contemplated by Borrower and Lender that such future indebtedness may be incurred); (vi) any and all other indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of any kind or character of Borrower to Lender, now or hereafter existing, absolute or contingent, due or not due, arising by operation of law or otherwise, direct or indirect, primary or secondary, joint, several, joint and several, fixed or contingent, secured or unsecured by additional or different security or securities, including indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities to Lender of Borrower as a member of any partnership, joint venture, trust or other type of business association or other legal entity, and whether incurred by Borrower as principal, surety, endorser, guarantor, accommodation party or otherwise; and (vii) any and all renewals, modifications, amendments, restatements, rearrangements, consolidations, substitutions, replacements, enlargements, and extensions thereof, it being contemplated by Borrower and Lender that Borrower may hereafter become indebted to Lender in further sum or sums. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this definition, the Lien Instrument shall not secure any such other loan, advance, debt, obligation or liability with respect to which Lender is by applicable law prohibited from obtaining a lien on real estate.”
(b) The definition of the term “Obligations” in the Loan Agreement, Mortgage, and Assignment of Rents is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Obligations: Any and all of the covenants, conditions, warranties, representations and other obligations (other than to repay the Indebtedness) made or undertaken by Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person or party to the Loan Documents or the Miami Loan Documents to Lender or others as set forth in the Loan Documents or the Miami Loan Documents, respectively.”
(c) The following is hereby added as an “Event of Default” under Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement:
“(v) Any default or Event of Default shall occur under the Miami Note or the other Miami Loan Documents.”
(d) The following is hereby added to the end of Section 5.17(a) in the Loan Agreement:
“In the event the Lender approves a sale of the Mortgaged Property by Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned provided that the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and the Loan Documents is paid in full, the proceeds from such sale shall be applied to fully satisfy and discharge the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and the Loan Documents. Any proceeds from such a sale in excess of the amount needed to fully satisfy and discharge the aforementioned debt shall be applied to reduce the indebtedness evidenced by the Miami Note and the Miami Loan Documents.”
(e) The last sentence in Section 6.7(b) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
“Upon full payment of the Indebtedness secured hereby (or if earlier, the completion of the applicable conditions to release of each Reserve to Lender's satisfaction) or at such earlier time as Lender may elect, the balance in the Reserves then in Lender's possession shall be paid over to Borrower and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.”
(f) Section 9.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Section 9.1. Survival of Obligations. This Agreement and each and all of the Obligations shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the consummation of the Loan and shall continue in full force and effect until the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full and each and every of the Obligations shall well and truly have been performed; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section shall limit the obligations of Borrower or Guarantor as otherwise set forth herein.”
(g) Section 12.6 of the Mortgage is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“12.6 Covenants Running with the Land. All Obligations contained in this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and the Miami Loan Documents are intended by Borrower and Lender to be, and shall be construed as, covenants running with the Mortgaged Property until the lien of this Mortgage has been fully released by Lender.”
(h) Recital C in the Assignment of Rents is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“C. Borrower desires to assign the Rents and Revenues to Lender as collateral security for (i) the Note, and (ii) that certain Promissory Note dated November 17, 2014 in the original principal amount of $13,000,000.00 from TOTB Miami, LLC to Lender.”
(i) The definition of “Event of Default” in the Assignment of Rents is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Event of Default: Any happening or occurrence defined as an Event of Default in the Loan Documents or the Miami Loan Documents, beyond any applicable notice, cure and/or grace periods expressly provided for in the Loan Documents or the Miami Loan Documents, respectively.”
(j) The references to “Illinois law” in Sections 6.1(b) and 7.4 of the Assignment of Rents are hereby deleted and replaced with “Florida law.”
(k) The words “Xxxxx Realty shall” in Sections 3.9(a) and 3.9(b) of the Guaranty Agreements are hereby deleted and replaced with the words “Guarantor shall collectively”.
Section 2. Effect of Modification. Nothing contained in this Modification Agreement shall in any way impair the security now held for the indebtedness evidenced by the Contract or the lien priority thereof, nor waive, annul, vary or affect any provision, condition, covenant and agreement contained in the Contract, nor affect or impair any rights, powers and remedies under the Contract, except as herein specifically modified to do any one or more of the foregoing. If any provision in this Modification Agreement shall be interpreted or applied by a court or other tribunal with personal and subject matter jurisdiction over the parties hereto and the Contract, as modified, so as to impair the security now held for the indebtedness or lien priority thereof, or do any one or more of any of the foregoing, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent it causes an impairment of such security or the lien priority thereof or causes any of such other consequences, or the application thereof shall be in a manner and to an extent which does not impair such security or the lien priority thereof, or result in the occurrence of any of the other consequences. This Modification Agreement does not extend the expiration dates or enlarge the terms of any property, physical damage, credit and any other insurance written in connection with or financed by said Contract.
Section 3. Financing Statements. Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to file such financing statements as may be necessary to protect, in Lender’s opinion, Lender’s security interests and liens and, to the extent Lender deems necessary or appropriate, to sign the name of Borrower with the same force and effect as if signed by Borrower and to make public in financing statements and other public filings such information regarding Borrower as Lender deems necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, federal tax identification numbers, social security numbers and other identifying information.
Section 4. Lender’s Responsibilities. Lender shall not have any obligation or responsibility to do any of the following: (1) protect and preserve any collateral and other security given or to be given in connection with the Contract, as herein modified, against the rights of third persons having an interest therein; (2) provide information to third persons relative to the Contract, as herein modified, Lender’s liens and security interests in any collateral and other security, or otherwise with respect to Borrower; and (3) subordinate its liens and security interests in any collateral and other security to the interests of any third persons or to enter into control agreements relative to such collateral and other security.
Section 5. Documentary Stamps, etc. To the extent not prohibited by law and notwithstanding who is liable for payment of the taxes and fees, Borrower shall pay, on Lender’s demand, all intangible taxes, documentary stamp taxes, excise taxes and other similar taxes assessed, charged and required to be paid in connection with this Modification Agreement, and any future extension, renewal and modification of the Contract, or assessed, charged and required to be paid in connection with any of the loan documents which make up the Contract.
Section 6. Costs and Expenses. All of the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with this Modification Agreement shall be paid by Borrower upon the request of and at the time of demand for payment thereof made by Lender on Borrower. As used herein, “costs and expenses” include, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and fees of legal assistants, and reasonable fees of accountants, engineers, surveyors, appraisers and other professionals or experts – and all references to attorneys’ fees or fees of legal assistants, or fees of accountants, engineers, surveyors, appraisers or other professionals or experts shall mean reasonable fees.

Except as disclosed to the Lender in writing, no event has occurred and no condition exists which, either prior to or upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, constitutes an Event of Default or default under any of the Contract, either immediately or with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both; and
No defenses, offsets, counterclaims or other claims, legal or equitable, exist to the enforcement of the Contract in accordance with their respective terms. Borrower and Guarantor for themselves, their heirs, successors, assigns, officers, shareholders, directors, managers and members each hereby waives, releases, and discharges Lender and its officers and agents from any and all defenses, offsets, causes of action, counterclaims or other claims, legal or equitable, relating to the Loans, the Contract, the Miami Loan Documents, the negotiation of the terms of the Loans, the management of the Loans, and any matter related thereto from the beginning of time to the date of this Modification Agreement. It is not intended that the documents executed in connection with this Modification Agreement constitute a novation of the original Contract.
Section 12. Reservation of Rights; Entire Agreement. Lender does hereby reserve all rights and remedies it may have against all parties secondarily liable for repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Contract. The Contract, as herein modified, contains the entire agreement of the parties and the undersigned do hereby ratify and confirm the terms of the Contract, all of which shall remain in full force and effect, as modified herein. This Modification Agreement shall be binding upon any assignee and successor in interest of the parties hereto.

Section 13. Counterparts.

It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart for each of the parties hereto. Delivery by facsimile or e-mail by any of the parties hereto of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be as effective as an original executed counterpart hereof and shall be deemed a representation that an original executed counterpart hereof will be delivered. Each counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns.
Section 14. Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Contract.

The undersigned Guarantor reaffirms its respective obligations under the Guaranty Agreements and confirms that the Guaranty Agreements remain in full force and effect, subject to no right of offset, claim or counterclaim and each reference in the Guaranty Agreements to the “Note” shall mean and include the Note, as amended hereby, and as the same may be further amended, restated, supplemented, replaced, substituted or otherwise modified from time to time. The Guarantor hereby affirms that the Guaranty Agreements are not released, diminished or impaired in any way by the foregoing Amendment and are ratified and confirmed in all respects.
Section 16. Miscellaneous. Borrower and Guarantor represent that no consent of any other person, firm or corporation, not a party hereto, is required for the execution and performance of the Modification Agreement and Borrower and Guarantor agree to indemnify and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or liability whatsoever, including reasonable attorney fees, arising out of Borrower’s or Guarantor’s failure to obtain consent of any person not a party hereto.
