The Partnership leases its properties to tenants under net leases, classified as operating leases.  Under a net lease, the tenant is responsible for real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs and operating expenses for the property.  For some leases, the Partnership is responsible for repairs to the structural components of the building, the roof, and the parking lot.  At the time the properties were acquired, the remaining primary lease terms varied from 10 to 18 years, except for the Tractor Supply Company store in Canton, Georgia, which had a remaining primary term of 7.3 years.  The leases provide the tenants with two to four five-year renewal options subject to the same terms and conditions as the primary term.
