PILOT ADDENDUM (JENNIFER LAMBERT AND JOHN SARGENT)

The City of Rochester's Core Housing Owner Incentive Exemption program ("CHOICE"), approved by Resolution No. 2007-14 of the City Council, offers property tax exemptions for the creation of market-rate owner-occupied residential units in the Center City District. It is the intent of the Rochester City Council to increase the number of owner occupants living in the downtown area.

The County of Monroe Industrial Development Agency (the "Agency") and Plymouth Terrace, LLC (the "Company"), previously entered into a Payment-In-Lieu-Of-Tax Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2011 and an Amended and Restated Payment In Lieu Of Tax Agreement, made as of March 13, 2013 but effective as of February 1, 2012 (as amended, the "PILOT Agreement"), in connection with the Company's residential project (the "Project"), located in the City of Rochester, New York and known as Plymouth Terrace, to make provisions for payments in lieu of real property taxes by the Company to Monroe County, New York and the City of Rochester, New York (together, the "Taxing Jurisdictions").

The Company has since completed the construction and equipping of its Project and is ready to sell each of the residential units. The CHOICE program allows for the continued partial real property tax abatement for each individual unit as long as that unit remains the purchaser's primary residence. The exemption applies only to the increase in assessed value resulting from the Project. The exemption applies to property tax levies of the Taxing Jurisdictions. See the attached Schedule A for a description of the CHOICE program and the exemption schedule.

The below named purchasers hereby certify that the property commonly known as 87 North Plymouth Avenue, Rochester, New York [Tax Account No. 121.220-0001-055.014] is their primary residence and agree to notify the City of Rochester's Bureau of Assessment of any change in occupancy.

CORE HOUSING OWNER INCENTIVE EXEMPTION - CHOICE

The Core Housing Owner Incentive Exemption (CHOICE) offers property tax exemptions for the creation of market-rate owner-occupied residential units in the Center City District. The intent of the program is to increase the number of owner occupants living in the downtown area. The program was adopted by a resolution approved by the Rochester City Council, and is implemented through the County of Monroe Industrial Development Agency (COMIDA) through a Payment in Lieu of Tax Agreement and sale leaseback arrangement. A copy of COMIDA application is attached. Additional benefits available under from COMIDA may include a sales tax exemption on construction materials and mortgage tax exemptions.

Eligible Area: Center City District

Project Qualifications:

Exemption:

Application:

The exemption applies to any new owner occupied unit created from new construction or renovation. The exemption also applies to the conversion from existing residential rental units to owner occupied units. The exemption only applies to the increased in assessed value attributable to the project. If there is minimal or no increase in assessment resulting from the project, the exemption would not likely provide a benefit for the applicant. Every project seeking assistance under this program must use local labor for the construction of new, expanded or renovated facilities (see Appendix B of the COMIDA application).

The exemption applies to the increase in assessed value resulting from the project. The exemption applies to City of Rochester, Rochester City School and County of Monroe property tax levies. The exemption schedule is as follows:

Year of Exemption Exemption 1 90% 2 80% 3 70% 4 60% 5 50% 6 40% 7 30% 8 20% 9 10% 10 0%

Applications must be submitted and approved by COMIDA prior to the commencement of construction. Applications for COMIDA assistance are available at: www.prowmonroe.orip/application.asp or at:
