RECITALS:

A.           Certain of the Evergreen Parties and certain of the American Spectrum Parties entered into that certain Purchase Agreement dated December 15, 2009 (the “Original Purchase Agreement”).

B.           The Original Purchase Agreement was amended pursuant to that certain Letter Agreement dated December 18, 2009 (the “First Amendment”).

C.           The Parties to this Second Amendment desire to amend, modify and supplement the Original Purchase Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment.

D.           In addition to those terms defined in this Second Amendment, capitalized terms used in this Second Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Original Purchase Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

 
 

 
 
1.           Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Original Purchase Agreement or the First Amendment, Agreement shall mean, collectively, the Original Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment and as further amended by this Second Amendment.

2.           Parties. The Parties shall be the Evergreen Parties and the American Spectrum Parties. The Evergreen Parties are, individually, any of the following: ERG, Evergreen Advisors, Evergreen Management, Evergreen Development, REIT II, Institutional Fund, RPS-Indiana, RPS-Texas, RPS, New West, McCarthy, Willgeroth, Thomson or Palmer and, collectively, all of the following: ERG, Evergreen Advisors, Evergreen Management, Evergreen Development, REIT II, RPS-Indiana, RPS-Texas, RPS, New West, McCarthy, Willgeroth, Thomson and Palmer. The American Spectrum Parties are, individually, any of the following: American Spectrum, American Spectrum Advisors, American Spectrum Asset, American Spectrum Management or American Spectrum Partnership and, collectively, all of the following: American Spectrum, American Spectrum Advisors, American Spectrum Asset, American Spectrum Management and American Spectrum Partnership.

3.           TIC Interests. The Evergreen Parties, and each of them, jointly and severally, hereby represent that they hold as a manager, managing member, general partner or the like, a number of interests in limited liability companies, partnerships, joint ventures or the like (“TIC Entities”) which TIC Entities own an undivided interest in a Property, but that the Evergreen Parties may not have any direct or indirect equity ownership in any such Property by reason of their interests in the TIC Entities. Accordingly, American Spectrum Asset Co. and the appropriate Evergreen Parties shall execute and deliver, each to the other, at the Closing an Agreement to Appoint New Manager pursuant to which the Evergreen Parties shall agree to cause American Spectrum Asset Co. to succeed to the management rights of the applicable Evergreen Party in the TIC Entities. The American Spectrum Parties and the Evergreen Parties acknowledge that certain Evergreen Parties are members of the limited liability company (“Central Florida LLC”) that owns the Property known as Tampa Self Storage and Ocala Self Storage, Tampa, Florida, and Ocala, Florida, and while the management rights in the Central Florida LLC of certain Evergreen Parties will be assigned and transferred to American Spectrum Management Co., the ownership rights (i.e., equity) will be retained by the Evergreen Parties and not transferred to the American Spectrum Parties. Similarly, the American Spectrum Parties and the Evergreen Parties acknowledge that certain Evergreen Parties own an undivided interest in the Property known as Arbors Senior Living, San Diego, California (“Arbors Senior Living Property”), and that, while management rights under the Asset Management Agreement held by the Evergreen Entities shall be transferred to American Spectrum Management Co., the equity interest of the Evergreen Parties (e.g., an undivided interest in the Arbors Senior Living Property) will not be transferred to the American Spectrum Parties, Moreover, the American Spectrum Parties agree to discuss and consider a proposal pursuant to which the Evergreen Parties and/or others will contribute to REIT II the Evergreen Parties’ membership interest in the Central Florida LLC, their interest in the Arbors Senior Living Property and/or other assets in consideration of the issuance of Units by REIT II. Any such discussions shall be undertaken in good faith and in the best interest of all Persons, including the existing holders of units in REIT II.

4.           REIT II and Institutional Fund. The Evergreen Parties shall convey to American Spectrum Asset Co. all of their right, title and interest in and to any interest the Evergreen Parties hold in REIT II and the Institutional Fund free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances and adverse claims. The Evergreen Parties will take such further actions as are reasonably requested by the American Spectrum Parties to vest in American Spectrum Asset Co. or its designees any and all management and/or control rights in REIT II and the Institutional Fund (e.g., designation and/or election of manager(s), managing member(s), directors, etc.).

5.           Offices of Evergreen. The definition of “Offices of Evergreen” in the Agreement shall be modified to read in full as follows:

Offices of Evergreen means the offices of any Evergreen Party maintained at (a) 12402 Industrial Boulevard, Suite B-2; Victorville, California, (b) 225 South Lake Avenue, Pasadena, California, and/or (c) any other offices maintained by an Evergreen Party for the operation of the business of an Evergreen Party (other than that certain space occupied by New West in Victorville, California).”

6.           Closing Date/Accounting Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Original Agreement or First Amendment, the Closing Date shall be 12:01 a.m. January 17, 2010 and all adjustments respecting such liabilities and revenues shall be adjusted as of such time. A full accounting of any such liabilities and/or revenues shall be approved by the American Spectrum Parties and the Evergreen Parties within 90 days after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Accounting Period to determine the Adjusted Purchase Price shall continue to be the period commencing on January 1, 2010 and ending on December 31, 2010 inasmuch as the accounting required to be undertaken with respect to the Accounting Period will be easier to accomplish by the Parties for such period than for a period which does not coincide with the beginning and end of a calendar year.

7.           Excluded Liabilities: REIT I. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Original Agreement and the First Amendment, to the extent American Spectrum Management Co. is required to assume any obligations or liabilities with respect to REIT I from and after the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, such assumption shall commence on October 27, 2009 rather than the Closing Date, October 27, 2009, the date that certain representatives of American Spectrum were elected to the Board of Directors of REIT I.

8.           Intentionally Omitted.

9.           Returns. The American Spectrum Parties acknowledge that certain Evergreen Parties have not filed their 2008 federal Returns and that, when prepared and filed, such Returns may have an effect upon the Returns filed or to be filed by such Evergreen Parties in various states. The Evergreen Parties shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Returns required to be prepared and filed by the Evergreen Parties applicable to periods prior to the Closing Date as soon as reasonably practical and, if necessary, amend any Returns required to be amended, modified or supplemented.

13.         Deliveries. The Parties acknowledge that certain of the documents to be delivered at the Closing which are attached to the Original Agreement will be modified to accommodate the terms and provisions of the First Amendment and this Second Amendment and that, in addition to the delivery of documents required by the Original Agreement and First Amendment, the Evergreen Parties shall also be delivering to American Spectrum at the Closing certain additional documents necessary to implement the intents and provisions of the Purchase Agreement, as amended.
