The Seller is unaffiliated with the Company. The Agreement provides for a deposit of $38,000 within five business days of the execution of the Agreement, and the total contract purchase price for the 48 properties is $3,800,000, excluding closing costs and subject to certain adjustments. The properties collectively encompass an aggregate of 86,103 rental square feet, of which 28 properties are subject to one-year leases with tenants, 15 properties are subject to a month-to-month leases, and the remaining five properties are vacant as of the date of this report.

For a period of 45 days commencing on the effective date of the Agreement (the “Due Diligence Period”), the Buyer may conduct inspections to determine any necessary repairs or improvements to bring the properties into compliance with the applicable local building code and/or repairs if recommended. The costs for any such repairs will be deducted from the purchase price under certain conditions unless the Seller agrees to complete all such repairs within 45 days of the closing. The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the Seller, and the Buyer would be obligated to purchase the properties only after satisfaction of agreed upon closing conditions.

The Agreement provides that the closing for the purchase of the properties is to occur within 30 days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. There can be no assurance that the Buyer will consummate the acquisition.
