Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

We previously filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on October 26, 2009 reporting that we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Original Purchase Agreement") with Roskamp Management Company, LLC ("Roskamp") for the purchase of a 17 property portfolio in Sun City and Sun City West, Arizona. On December 29,2009, we amended and restated the Original Purchase Agreement by entering into an Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement with Roskamp (the "Amended Purchase Agreement"). The Amended Purchase Agreement is substantially similar to the Original Purchase Agreement and provides additional time to satisfy certain closing conditions. We recently paid an additional $3,000,000 escrow deposit. This deposit along with the previous $1,000,000 deposit, will be applied as a credit to closing consistent with the Amended Purchase Agreement, or refunded if these conditions are not satisfied. The parties are working together to satisfy these remaining conditions, which, if satisfied, will result in escrow closing in the immediate future.
