The Jacksonville 77 Sellers are unaffiliated with the Company. The agreement provides for a deposit of $50,908.66 within five business days of the execution of the agreement, and the total contract purchase price for the 77 properties is $5,090,866.62, excluding closing costs and subject to certain adjustments. The properties collectively encompass an aggregate of 92,576 rental square feet, of which 54 properties are subject to one-year leases with tenants, 14 properties are subject to month-to-month leases with tenants and the remaining 9 properties are vacant as of the date of this report.

For a period commencing on the effective date of the agreement and ending on the date that is 30 days after the Company has received all of the property information relating to the properties (the “Due Diligence Period”), the Company 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 sellers agree to complete all such repairs within 45 days of the closing. 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.

The foregoing description of the Jacksonville 77 Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
