m)		at the behest of the Exchange, Nuspar issued a corrected News Release dated September 20, 1988 which Sawyer acknowledges represents a balanced and accurate reporting of Nuspar's activities; and
n)		Sawyer acknowledges that Nuspar's reporting of the purchase of units of the Property from a non-arms length vendor as reported in the September 20, 1988 News Release was not a timely disclosure of this purchase as required under the disclosure provisions of the Act.
