Divestiture of Non-Core Properties

4. Divestiture of Non-Core Properties

In the fourth quarter of 2009 and throughout 2010, we sold certain properties non-core assets in nine different states for combined net proceeds of approximately $32.2 million ($2.4 million in 2009 and $29.8 million in 2010, of which $8.4 million was received in February 2011) at various property auctions to numerous buyers.  The net proceeds were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under our credit facility, for capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.
