NOTE 3 - LEASING ACTIVITIES

The Partnership leases six properties for operation of restaurants to Del Taco on a triple net basis. One property has been subleased to a Del Taco franchisee. The leases are for terms of 35 years commencing with the completion of the restaurant facility located on each property and require monthly rentals equal to 12 percent of the gross sales of the restaurants. The leases expire in the years 2020 to 2021.

Pursuant to the lease agreements, minimum rentals of $3,500 per month are due to the Partnership during the first six months of any non-operating period caused by an insured casualty loss.
