For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Change in Date of Conversion of Note to Cash.
a. The second paragraph of Section 1.4 of the Option entitled
"Initial Option Consideration" is deleted and replaced in its entirety with the
following:
"Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 1.4
or anything set forth elsewhere in the Option, Buyer's
obligation to deposit Development Funds shall be
satisfied by Buyer giving to Seller on or before
September 30, 1997, Buyer's Promissory Note in the
amount of $200,000 (in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit "A") which note shall provide that it shall be
convertible into $200,000 in cash on or before December
31, 1998 which funds shall thereupon be deposited into
a federally insured financial institution in an account
designated for the Project on which both Buyer and High
Mesa are joint signatories. Any monies advanced by
Buyer directly to third parties to pay for Development
Funds expenses of the Project which are approved by High
Mesa shall be a dollar for dollar credit against said
$200,000. The Development Funds shall be non-refundable
and shall not be applicable to the Option Purchase
Price, but shall be reimbursable from the LLC to Buyer
in connection with the development and financing of the
Project. If Buyer fails to deposit the Development
funds as set forth in the first sentence of this
paragraph above, this Option shall automatically
terminate and shall be null and void for all purposes.
Upon any such termination, neither party shall have any
further liability to the other party with respect to the
Option. Any portion of the Initial Option Consideration
remaining at Closing shall be deposited in the name of
the LLC. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
the preliminary development of the Project will require
funds substantially in excess of the Development Funds
and that Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion to advance
additional funds pursuant to budget(s) approved by Desert Mesa. Any
such additional advances shall be reimbursed from the LLC to Buyer
in connection with the development and financing of the Project."
b. The due date of the Note dated September 30, 1997 in the
principal amount of $200,000 given by Buyer to Seller is hereby amended to
provide it is due on December 31, 1998 instead of March 15, 1998.
2. Except as amended hereby, all of the other terms and provisions of
the Option shall remain in full force and effect.
3. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This
Amendment may be executed by facsimile with original signatures to follow by
mail.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have entered into this Amendment as of the
date first written above.
