NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below, the Parties agree as follows:

Section 2.1(a) of the Agreement is hereby superceded and replaced in its entirety as follows:

(a) Consideration for Fund Interests. Subject to Section 2.2, (i) the general partnership interests in the Fund (the “General Partnership Interests”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into the right to receive $1.00 in cash (the “GP Merger Consideration”); and (ii) each unit of limited partnership interest in the Fund (the “Limited Partnership Interests,” together with the General Partnership Interests, the “Fund Interests”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into the right to receive (A) $0.8472 in cash (the “LP Cash Consideration,” and together with the GP Merger Consideration, the “Cash Consideration”), and (B) 0.00706 shares of $1.93 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share of the Company (the “Company Series A Preferred Stock”), the terms of which are set forth in Exhibit C hereto, (the “LP Stock Consideration” and, together with the LP Cash Consideration, the “LP Merger Consideration”).

No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Amendment is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns or to otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto.

Counterparts and Signature. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that each Party need not sign the same counterpart.

Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Amendment, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Amendment and the Agreement, this Amendment shall control and govern.

Governing Law.
