Notwithstanding the terms of Section 9 D of this Agreement, Purchaser and the Entity Sellers that own the Equity Interests with respect to the Sixth Avenue Property and the Southernaire Property (the "Sixth Avenue Entity Seller" and the "Southernaire Entity Seller," respectively) agree to consummate the Closing with respect to such applicable Equity Interests based on the following additional terms: (i) the net proceeds from the sale of the respective Equity Interests shall not be disbursed to the Sixth Avenue Entity Seller or the Southernaire Entity Seller, respectively, but said net proceeds shall be held in escrow by Escrowee as security for the respective Entity Sellers fulfilling certain obligations relating to the absence of an approved prospectus filed with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, (ii) the escrow shall state that the net proceeds shall not be disbursed to the applicable Entity Seller until such time as the applicable Entity Sellers have prepared a PA Prospectus for each such Individual Property and the PA Prospectus for each such Individual Property has been filed with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation and has been delivered to each of the tenants at the Sixth Avenue Property and the Southernaire Property and the failure of any tenant located at either the Sixth Avenue Property or the Southernaire Property electing any remedy as a result of such violation on or before fifteen (15) days after delivery of such PA Prospectus to all of the tenants of the Sixth Avenue Property and the Southernaire Property (the "Tenant Deadline"), and (iii) to the extent any Sixth Avenue Property tenant or any Southernaire Property tenant elects any remedies arising therefrom on or before the expiration of the Tenant Deadline then, if such claim continues to exist after a thirty (30) day cure period afforded to the applicable Entity Seller, the respective net proceeds shall be utilized by to reimburse Purchaser for any and all costs associated with such claims. Following the settlement and payment of any such claims, the balance of the net proceeds shall be disbursed to the Sixth Avenue Entity Seller and the Southernaire Entity Seller, respectively. To the extent there are no tenant claims at one of the Individual Properties after the expiration of the Tenant Deadline, the net proceeds applicable to such Individual Property shall be promptly disbursed to the applicable Entity Seller.

Prior to the Closing, all applicable Entity Sellers shall deliver to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation any and all rent notices that said Entity Sellers have failed to file for previous rental increases which are consistent with the rent increases actually instituted at the Properties. 4.
