AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Accuracy of the Recitals. The parties hereby acknowledge the accuracy of the recitals which are incorporated herein by this reference.

3. Amendments. The Redevelopment Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a) Section 2.04 of the Redevelopment Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced as follows:

Failure of Redeveloper to cause Substantial Project Completion by October 1, 2005 shall not, of itself, constitute an Event of Default.

(c) Section 11.03 of the Redevelopment Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced as follows:
Section 11.03 Lakewood Housing Authority. Redeveloper, as purchaser, and the Lakewood Housing Authority, as seller, have entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "Vance Terrace Agreement") regarding Redeveloper's proposed acquisition of the real property and improvements comprising an existing multifamily housing project now located within the Property and known as "Vance Terrace". Subject to the satisfaction of the Conditions Precedent, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Vance Terrace Agreement, Redeveloper shall pay the purchase price to the Lakewood Housing Authority on or before March 31, 2004.

The City will cooperate with Redeveloper to cause the Lakewood Housing Authority to comply with the terms and conditions of the Vance Terrace Agreement.

(d) Section 13.02 of the Redevelopment Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced as follows:
Section 13.02 Redeveloper's Option to Terminate.
