The Company has made a $50,000 earnest money deposit to the Best Western Seller, which shall become non-refundable forty-five (45) days following the execution of the PSA, subject to the right of the Company to extend such period for an additional ten (10) days, if the Company does not terminate the PSA prior to expiration of such period (the “Inspection Period”). Upon the expiration of the Inspection Period the Company must deliver an additional, non-refundable earnest money deposit of $50,000 to the Best Western Seller. The closing of the acquisition of the Clemson Best Wester will occur within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the Inspection Period. The Company expects to invest $3,079,765 of equity in the Clemson Best Western.]
