The agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the sellers, and the Company 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 Company will consummate the acquisition.
