Paul Cheng agreed to buy the note for $14.3 million. Logsdon sent Cheng a blank purchase and sale agreement (PSA). Logsdon phoned Cheng and told him that Principal's Investment Committee had approved the sale and asked for a written PSA. Cheng said, "I agree to it…. I accept it." He sent Logsdon a PSA with changes, including altering: the buyer from Cheng to Revalen Development, the price from $14.3 million to $14.299 million, and the earnest money from $71,500 to $100.
