Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Rite Aid – Alliance, OH

On October 20, 2005, RA Alliance acquired the RA Alliance Property from Monogram. The purchase price of the RA Alliance Property was $2.1 million, exclusive of closing costs. The acquisition was funded by net proceeds from the Company’s ongoing public offering. In connection with the acquisition, the Company paid an affiliate of its advisor an acquisition fee of $42,000.

The RA Alliance Property is 100% leased to RA Ohio, a subsidiary of Rite Aid Corporation ("Rite Aid"), which guarantees the lease. The RA Alliance Property is subject to a net lease pursuant to which RA Ohio is required to pay substantially all operating expenses and capital expenditures in addition to base rent. The annual base rent of $189,023, or $16.69 per square foot, is fixed through the initial lease term, which expires April 30, 2017. RA Ohio has six options to renew the lease, each for an additional five year term, beginning on May 1, 2017, with rental escalations descending from a range of 6.0% at first renewal to 4.6% at the final renewal option.

Rite Aid operates over 3,300 stores in 28 states and Washington, DC. Rite Aid has a Standard and Poor’s credit rating of "B+" and its stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "RAD".

An affiliate of the Company has the sole and exclusive right to manage, operate, lease and supervise the overall maintenance of the RA Alliance Property and will receive a property management fee of 2.0% of the monthly gross revenue from the property.
