- allows Liens on cash in an amount not to exceed $20 million for cash collateralization of the Foundry Park Rate Lock transaction;
- allows Investments in Real Estate Subsidiaries not to exceed $55 million at any time; and
- provides that transactions with the Charitable Foundation will not be considered transactions with an Affiliate.

This summary of the Third Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, reference to all the terms of the Third Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
