obligations of the "Seller" under the Agreement, and covenants and agrees to
perform all of the obligations of the "Seller" as if it was an original party to
the Agreement. Reference to "Seller" in the Agreement shall refer to each of
Atrium Plaza and OCC, and a reference herein to "Sellers" shall refer to both of

under the Agreement, and shall convey to Purchaser the title to the Property as
required under the Agreement. Accordingly, Exhibits "H", "I", "J", "K", and "L"
to the Agreement are hereby revised as attached hereto as corresponding
exhibits. On the Closing Date, each of Atrium Plaza and OCC shall convey their
respective undivided fifty percent (50%) interests in the Property and the
Contracts to the grantees and assignees set forth in the aforementioned
conveyance documents, and the parties agree that a default by either Atrium
Plaza or OCC in so conveying its interest in the Property to Purchaser shall be
deemed a default by the other Seller.
1.3 All costs and prorations under Sections 5.5 and 5.7 of the Agreement,
and all other costs, liabilities, expenses and fees, otherwise allocable to the
"Seller" by the terms of the Agreement, shall be allocated between Sellers on an
equal basis. On the Closing Date, the Purchase Price (after adjustment for all
prorations, costs and other expenses as provided in the Agreement) shall be
disbursed one-half (1/2) to Atrium Plaza and one-half (1/2) to OCC in accordance
with each Seller's separate instructions delivered, in writing, to Escrow
Holder. In addition, to the extent of any post-closing credits back or refunds
to the "Owner" under the Management Agreement for periods prior to the Closing
Date, Purchaser shall promptly remit the same to Sellers in equal amounts.
1.4 All indemnification obligations of the "Seller" under the Agreement
shall be the joint and several obligations of Sellers.
1.5 The obligation of the "Purchaser" to close the Escrow and purchase the
Property shall be contingent upon the performance by both OCC and Atrium Plaza

to Assignee, and Assignee hereby assumes, all of Ashford's right, title and
interest in and to the Agreement to be effective on the date set forth above.
