RECITALS A. The Commission and the Developer entered into a Development Agreement dated effective April 25, 2019 (the "Development Agreement"), for the development of a Project in the River West Development Area. B. As set forth in the Development Agreement, the Commission agreed to expend no more than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) of tax increment finance revenues to complete the Local Public Improvements in support of the Developer's construction on the Developer's Property, including but not limited to repairs to or replacement of the windows, roof, exterior bricks, parking lot, and fencing (the "LPI"). C. In accordance with Section 5.2(c) of the Development Agreement, bids were received for the LPI by the City of South Bend Board of Public Works (the "Board"), as the Commission's agent, and the winning bidders were awarded contracts for various portions of the LPI, including the winning bidder for masonry work (the "Masonry Contractor"). D. In the course of performing the masonry work, the Masonry Contractor discovered additional concerns and recommended tuckpointing portions of the south and east elevations; however, the cost of the change order exceeds the remaining Funding Amount. E. In order to approve the change order (the "Change Order"), the Board requires an increase of the Funding Amount by Six Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy -Three Dollars ($6,873.00) (the "Funding Amount Increase"). F. In consideration of the Commission's willingness to increase the Funding Amount, and thereby to permit the Board's approval of the Change Order, the Developer has paid the Funding Amount Increase in the manner set forth in this First Amendment. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations stated in the Development Agreement and this First Amendment, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: 1.

The Developer hereby expressly reaffirms its obligation under Section 5.2(d) of the Development Agreement to pay all costs of completing the LPI, including any necessary change orders to the LPI Contract, in excess of the Funding Amount, as such amount is hereby amended. The Developer hereby acknowledges that the Developer or the Developer's designee may inspect the LPI upon completion and hereby expressly reaffirms its obligation under Section 5.2(d) of the Development Agreement to pay all costs of inspecting the LPI. 3. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Commission's obligations to complete the LPI will be satisfied in full upon the completion of the LPI Contract, irrespective of the final amount of the LPI Contract. 4. As an inducement for the Commission's increase of the Funding Amount under this First Amendment and as a further assurance to the Commission pursuant to Section 9.13 of the Development Agreement, the Developer has submitted to the Commission and the Commission acknowledges receipt of funds in the amount of Six Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy -Three Dollars ($6,873.00), which funds will be applied at an appropriate time to the LPI Contract in accordance with the Board's ordinary payment practices and applicable laws. 5. The Developer hereby expressly reaffirms its obligations under the Development Agreement, and, unless expressly modified by this First Amendment, the terms and provisions of the Development Agreement remain in full force and effect. 6. Capitalized terms used in this First Amendment will have the meanings set forth in the Development Agreement unless otherwise stated herein. 7. The recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated into the operative provisions of this First Amendment. 8. This First Amendment will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana. 9. This First Amendment may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
