Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 3, 2007, Natural Gas Services Group, Inc. and Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing, Inc.,
or the Seller, entered into a Contract for Sale of Real Property Improved Commercial Property, or
the Contract, for the purchase of fabrication and warehousing facilities, including office space,
containing approximately 52,150 square feet located on approximately 9.30 acres of land in Midland
County, Texas. The total purchase price for the property is $1,900,000.00, which we intend to
finance with available cash. However, we have the right to enter into a tax deferred like-kind
exchange agreement, although we had not done so at the time of filing this report. Closing is
scheduled to occur on or before November 30, 2007 or at a date and time mutually agreed upon by
Seller and us.
If we complete the purchase of the property, we expect to relocate our Midland-based
fabrication operations to the new facilities.
Our obligation to complete the purchase of the property is conditioned upon our satisfaction
with:
|
|
|
the condition of title; |
|
|
|
|
the suitability of the property for our intended purposes; |
|
|
|
|
the zoning of the property; |
|
|
|
|
environmental matters; and |
|
|
|
|
Sellers compliance with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by the
Contract. |
The Contract includes customary representations and warranties made by the Seller to us,
including representations that:
|
|
|
no parties possess any portion of the property as lessees, tenants at sufferance
or trespassers; and |
|
|
|
|
Seller has free and clear title to the property. |
If the Seller fails to perform any of its obligations under the Contract, we have the right
to:
|
|
|
enforce specific performance of the Contract; |
|
|
|
|
request that the escrow deposit of $100,000.00 and any interest earned be
immediately returned to us; or |
|
|
|
|
bring suit for damages against the Seller. |
If we fail to consummate the purchase of the property for reasons other than those reserved by
us in the Contract, and if the Seller is not in default under the Contract, the Seller will have
the right to receive $33,000.00 from us, as liquidated damages.

The above summary of the provisions of the Contract does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Contract, which is attached to this
