ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

On July 1, 2008, Sun Communities, Inc., through its subsidiary Sun Communities Operating Limited Partnership (the “Company”), completed a sale (the “Sale”) of approximately $25.6 million of notes receivable owned by the Company (the “Notes”) to 21st Mortgage Corporation. The Notes, which are secured by manufactured homes, were sold at par value, subject to the recourse provisions requiring the Company to purchase the underlying homes supporting such Notes in the event of a Note default and subsequent repossession. The price of such home repurchase varies based upon the different time frames in which a Note may default as more fully set forth in the sale agreement. This brief description of the Sale is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the sale agreement attached as Exhibits 10.1, and such agreement is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
