The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the value of any personal property is de minimis and that no part of the POP/T9 Interest Purchase Price is allocable thereto.”

 

7.          Section 1.5(f) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

 

“The FC Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that until such time as the FC Parties shall have delivered to Presidential an updated appraisal by a reputable “qualified” appraiser describing the fair market value of the FC/T9 Interest as being equal to or greater than the amount of the EFMV-FC/T9 Interest (the “T9 Property Appraisal”) Presidential shall hold-back PRES OP Units in an amount equal to $8,947,000 [the difference between the POP/T9 Interest Purchase Price ($32,649,000) and the amount of $23,701,000 [the AFMV-FC/T9 Interest ($71,900,000) less the FC/T9 Interest Loan Balance ($35,989,000) [$35,911,000] multiplied by the T9 Fraction (66/100)] (the “Holdback Units”). Upon receipt of the T9 Property Appraisal showing an appraised value of not less than the EFMV-FC/T9 Interest ($85,457,000), Presidential shall immediately deliver all of the Holdback Units to the Contributor. In the event that the T9 Property Appraisal is less than the EFMV-FC/T9 Interest, Presidential shall immediately deliver to the FC Parties a portion of the Holdback Units (based upon an assumed price of $1.0 per PRES OP Unit) calculated as follows:

 

 

(i)          Calculate a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the EFMV-FC/T9 Interest exceeds the T9 Property Appraisal and the denominator of which is $13,557,000 [the difference between the EFMV-FC/T9 Interest and the AFMV-FC/T9 Interest],

 

(ii)         Multiply the fraction by $8,947,000, and

 

(iii)        Subtract the product so obtained from $8,947,000 and the result thereby obtained shall be the number of Holdback Units delivered to the FC Parties.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, a “qualified” appraiser shall have not less than 10 years of experience in appraising property similar to the T9 Property. The “qualified” appraiser shall be selected by FC Parties but shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Presidential.”

“Issuance of Securities. Following the Closing for the T9 Property, Presidential shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of common stock, shares of Class B common stock (valued at $1.00 per share) (such shares being hereinafter referred to, individually, as a “Presidential Share” and, collectively, as the “Presidential Shares” or “Securities”), for issuance to the FC Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the Agreement of Limited Partnership of PRES OP, as amended (the “PRES OP Agreement”), in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations to issue such Presidential Shares under this Agreement and the PRES OP Agreement. In the event that at any time the then-authorized shares are insufficient for Presidential to satisfy its obligations to issue the Presidential Shares to the FC Parties as required under this Agreement and the PRES OP Agreement, Presidential shall promptly take such actions as may be required to increase the number of authorized shares.”

 

10.         Section 2.4(d) of the Agreement is hereby amended to add the following proviso to the last sentence of such Section:
