San Jose Country Club.

If, after February 1, 2006, ASOT reasonably determines that the San Jose South Property does not have the entitlements described in Schedule 2.3(a) attached hereto, upon such determination, the San Jose Escrowed Units and the other amounts held by the escrow agent, together with any distributions paid thereon, shall be returned to ASOT. ASOT hereby appoints San Jose Country Club as its agent for the purpose of continuing to process said entitlements and agrees to cooperate with San Jose Country Club and execute such documents as may be reasonably requested by San Jose Country Club in connection with processing and obtaining said entitlements; provided that the foregoing shall be at no cost, expense or liability to ASOT and shall not jeapordize any existing entitlements.”
          (b) Marina del Rey Contribution Value. The indebtedness identified on the Debt Schedule as the Marina del Rey 2nd Trust Deed in the amount of $1,535,869 is hereby deleted from the Debt Schedule as an Assumed Debt Loan. Accordingly, the ASOT Acquiring Party shall not assume the Marina del Rey 2nd Trust Deed and, accordingly, the Contribution Value of the Marina del Rey Property shall not be reduced by the amount of the Marina del Rey 2nd Trust Deed. The applicable Property Partnership that owns the Marina del Rey Property hereby agrees to a reduction in the Contribution Value of the Marina del Rey Property in the amount of $600,000 on account of agreed to capital repairs to the garage located on such Property in accordance with the Contribution Agreement for the Marina del Rey Property.

In the event that (i) the Philadelphia Put Agreement is not exercised by South Bay Club Apartments — Mid Wilshire on or before March 31, 2006 or (ii) the Philadelphia Put Agreement is exercised by South Bay Club Apartments — Mid Wilshire on or before March 31, 2006, but the closing of the Philadelphia Property fails to occur other than as a result of a breach by ASOT of its obligations under the Philadelphia Put Agreement, the Escrowed Units shall be returned to ASOT together with any distributions paid thereon. In the event that the Philadelphia Property is acquired by ASOT in accordance with the Philadelphia Put Agreement, the Escrowed Units shall be released to the R&B Partners together with any distributions paid thereon concurrently with the closing of such acquisition.

ASOT hereby agrees to indemnify R&B from and against any Loss incurred or suffered by R&B arising out of any of the Accrued Vacation and Sick Pay Obligations and/or accrued bonus assumed by ASOT pursuant to this Section 7.5(b) with respect to any claim arising with respect thereto for the period after the applicable Closing, except to the extent such Loss suffered by R&B arises from any deficiency or invalidity of the employee consent to transfer vacation account dated July 26, 2005.

As of the Closing of each non-Leased Property, the applicable Property Partnership agrees to assign, and ASOT agrees to assume on and after the applicable Closing, the obligations of the landlord under such OCH Leases in place pursuant to a Bill of Sale and Assignment of Leases. Notwithstanding the term of, or any other provision contained in, any of such OCH Leases, OCH hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) the maximum number of OCH Leases that OCH is permitted to terminate with respect to a Property in any particular month is the greater of (i) eight percent (8%) of the OCH Leases at such
