and conditions hereinafter set forth.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE CONTRIBUTIONS
THE CONTRIBUTIONS
1.1 Contribution of Membership Interest. Each Contributor agrees to contribute,
transfer, assign and convey all of its Membership Interests to Acquirer, and Acquirer agrees to
acquire and accept transfer of the Membership Interests pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement. The Membership Interest shall be transferred to Acquirer free and clear
of any and all liens, encumbrances, security interests, prior assignments or conveyances,
conditions, restrictions, voting agreements, claims, and any other matters affecting title thereto
other than as stated in or pursuant to the LLC’s operating agreement (the “LLC Operating
Agreement”).
1.2 Consideration. The total consideration (the “Consideration”) for which
each Contributor agrees to contribute and assign the Membership Interests to Acquirer, and which
Acquirer agrees to pay or deliver to the Contributors, subject to the terms of this Agreement,
shall be either (i) the issuance to each Contributor of a number of shares of common stock of
Acquirer (“Shares”) equal to (a) the amount of Sale Proceeds, as such term is defined in
the LLC Operating Agreement, that such Contributor would be entitled to receive pursuant to Section
6.2 of the LLC Operating Agreement upon a hypothetical sale of the Property for a sale price of
$4,500,000 (the “Sale Price”), (b) divided by $10, which represents the expected price
per share at which the common stock, $0.001 par value per share, (the “Common Stock”) of
the Acquirer is being offered in the private placement of Common Stock that is described in the
preliminary offering memorandum (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”) dated as of May 31,
2005 (the “Securities Offering”); provided, however that in the event the above-mentioned
calculation results in the Contributor receiving fractional shares, no fractional shares of Common
Stock will be issued and each Contributor that is entitled to receive a fractional share shall
instead receive a cash payment equal to the dollar amount of any such fractional share, (ii) cash
equal to the amount of Sale Proceeds, as such term is defined in the LLC Operating Agreement, that
Contributor would be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 6.2 of the LLC Operating Agreement
upon a hypothetical sale of the Property for the Sale Price or (iii) a combination of cash and
shares of Common Stock equal to the Sale Proceeds. Each Contributor’s form of Consideration (i.e.,
Shares, cash or a combination thereof) and estimated amount of Consideration are stated on such
Contributor’s respective signature page attached hereto. On the Closing Date (as defined below),
the Consideration described above shall be delivered to each Contributor. The certificates
evidencing the Shares, if any, will bear appropriate legends indicating that the Shares have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
1.3 Registration Rights. Each Contributor that receives Shares as all or part of its
consideration will be a beneficiary of the registration rights agreement entered into between the
Acquirer and Friedman, Billings, Xxxxxx & Co., Inc. in connection with the Securities Offering (the
“Registration Rights Agreement”). Each Contributor agrees to be bound by the terms and
provisions of the registration rights agreement as if the same has been duly executed by the
Contributor. A form of the registration rights agreement is attached as Annex V of the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum related to the Securities Offering.

agents for the Property. No federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority has asserted any tax
deficiency or other assessment against the Property. There are no assessments for public

Member nor the LLC have received any written notice (which remains uncured) from any governmental
authority stating, and have no knowledge, that the Property is currently in violation of any
zoning, land use or other similar rules or ordinances in any material respect that would reasonably

file prior to the date hereof. All such Tax Returns are correct and complete in all material
respects. All Taxes owed by the LLC (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been paid. The

tax purposes and has not been treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable
- 12 -
as a corporation under the rules of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”). The LLC is not the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file
a Tax Return. No audit or other examination of any Tax Return of, or any administrative or
judicial proceeding relating to the Taxes of, the LLC is in progress, nor has the LLC been notified
of any request for such audit or other examination. The LLC has not waived any statute of
limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment

liable for any Taxes (other than withholding Taxes) of another Person. Section 2.3(z) of the
Disclosure Schedule lists all material types of Taxes paid and Tax Returns filed by or on behalf of
the LLC. As used herein, “Tax Return” shall mean any return, declaration, report, claim for

2.4 Covenants of Acquirer. Acquirer agrees as follows:
(a) Tax Treatment. If a Contributor receives Shares, in whole or in part, as
Consideration, Acquirer shall (i) report the transfer of the Membership Interest by such
Contributor on all relevant Tax Returns of Acquirer as a transfer to Acquirer pursuant to Section
351(a) or, if such Contributor receives a combination of Shares and cash, Section 351(b) of the
Code (including compliance with the reporting and record-keeping requirements in Treasury
Regulations section 1.351-3), (ii) not take any position or action that is inconsistent with that
characterization in any audit, administrative proceeding, litigation or otherwise and (iii) not
take any action that reasonably could be expected to cause Section 351 of the Code not to apply.
(b) Further Acts. In addition to the acts, instruments and agreements recited herein
and contemplated to be performed, executed and delivered by Acquirer, the Contributors and the
Managing Member, Acquirer shall perform, execute, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed,

agreements and provide such further assurances as Contributor may reasonably require to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereunder.
2.5 Covenants of Managing Member. The Managing Member agrees as follows:

this Agreement.
(b) Conduct of Business. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the

regular and ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, and use its reasonable
efforts to preserve intact the LLC’s business organization and assets.
(c) Further Acts. In addition to the acts, instruments and agreements recited herein
and contemplated to be performed, executed and delivered by Acquirer, the Contributors and the
Managing Member, the Managing Member shall perform, execute, and deliver or cause to be performed,
executed, and delivered at the Closing or after the Closing, any and all further acts, instruments,
and agreements and provide such further assurances as Acquirer may reasonably require to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereunder.
2.6 Covenants of Contributors. Each Contributor agrees as follows:
(a) Actions Regarding Membership Interests. Except as otherwise permitted hereby,
from the date hereof until the Closing Date, each Contributor shall use reasonable commercial
efforts not to take any action or fail to take any action within Contributor’s control the result
of which would (i) have a Material Adverse Effect on the Membership Interests, the Property, such
Contributor’s ability to contribute, transfer, assign and convey the Membership Interests to
Acquirer or Acquirer’s ability to continue the ownership and operation thereof after the Closing
Date in substantially the same manner as presently conducted or (ii) cause any of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 2.2 or, if applicable, 2.3 to be untrue as of
the Closing Date.
(b) Confidentiality. Each Contributor acknowledges that the matters relating to the
Acquirer, the Securities Offering, this Agreement, and the other documents, terms, conditions and
information related thereto (collectively, the “Information”) are confidential in nature.
Therefore, each Contributor covenants and agrees to keep the Information confidential and will not
(except as required by applicable law, regulation or legal process, and only after compliance with
the provisions of this Section 2.5) prior to the Securities Offering, without Acquirer’s prior
written consent, disclose any Information in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that the
Information may be revealed only to such Contributor’s employees, legal counsel and financial
advisors, each of whom shall be informed of the confidential nature of the Information. In the
event that a Contributor or its key employees, legal counsel or financial advisors (collectively,
the “Information Group”) are requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law,
regulation or legal process to disclose any of the Information, the applicable member of the
Information Group will notify Acquirer promptly so that it may seek a protective order or other
appropriate remedy or, in its sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Section 2.5.
Each Contributor acknowledges that remedies at law may be inadequate to protect Acquirer against
any actual or threatened breach of this Section 2.5, and, without
- 14 -
prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available, each Contributor agrees to the
granting of injunctive relief in favor of the Acquirer without proof of actual damages.
(c) Tax Treatment. If a Contributor receives Shares, in whole or in part, as
Consideration, such Contributor shall (i) report the transfer of the Membership Interest to the
Acquirer by such Contributor on all relevant Tax Returns of such Contributor as a transfer to
Acquirer pursuant to Section 351(a) or, if such Contributor receives a combination of Shares and
cash, Section 351(b) of the Code (including compliance with the reporting and record-keeping
requirements in Treasury Regulations section 1.351-3), (ii) not take any position or action that is
inconsistent with that characterization in any audit, administrative proceeding, litigation or
otherwise and (iii) not take any action that reasonably could be expected to cause Section 351 of
the Code not to apply.
(d) Further Acts. In addition to the acts, instruments and agreements recited herein
and contemplated to be performed, executed and delivered by Acquirer, the Contributors and the
Managing Member, each Contributor shall perform, execute, and deliver or cause to be performed,
executed, and delivered at the Closing or after the Closing, any and all further acts, instruments,
and agreements and provide such further assurances as Acquirer may reasonably require to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereunder.
2.7 Covenants Regarding Certain Tax Returns and Tax Information. The parties
acknowledge that, for federal income tax purposes, the transfer of the Membership Interests
pursuant to this Agreement will result in a termination of the LLC’s federal income tax year as of
the Closing Date and that the LLC’s final federal income tax year will end on the Closing Date.
The Managing Member, at the expense of the LLC, shall be responsible for preparing and filing the
income Tax Returns of the LLC for the tax year ending on the Closing Date and, if not filed before
Closing, any prior tax year. The Acquirer shall cooperate, and shall cause the LLC to cooperate,
with the Managing Member in the preparation of such Tax Returns to the extent reasonably requested.
Each such Tax Return shall be based on the LLC’s existing Tax elections and Tax accounting
methods, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law or agreed by the Managing Member
and the Acquirer; provided, however, that the Managing Member shall cooperate, as and to the extent
requested by the Acquirer, to cause elections to be made under Section 754 of the Code with respect
to the transfers of Membership Interests in exchange (in whole or in part) for cash hereunder. The
Managing Member shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to provide a draft of each such
Tax Return to the Acquirer for its review and comment at least 45 days before the due date for
filing, taking into account any extensions of such due date. The Managing Member shall make any
changes to such Tax Returns as the Acquirer reasonably requests at least 15 days before the
applicable due date, to the extent necessary for any such Tax Return to comply with applicable law
or the provisions of this Section 2.7. Promptly after filing each such Tax Return, the Managing
Member shall provide a copy thereof to the Acquirer. With respect to income Tax Returns of the
Acquirer or of the LLC for any period after the Closing Date, the Managing Member shall provide to
the Acquirer such information regarding the LLC as reasonably requested by the Acquirer. In
addition, each Contributor who receives Shares, in whole or in part, as Consideration shall provide
to the
- 15 -
Acquirer as promptly as feasible after the Closing Date (and in any event within 30 days after
receiving from the LLC the Contributor’s Schedule K-1 for the LLC’s tax year ending on the Closing
Date) a statement setting forth (i) the Contributor’s final, adjusted federal income tax basis in
the Contributor’s Membership Interest and (ii) if such Contributor received cash as part of the
Consideration, the amount of gain (if any) recognized by the Contributor for federal income tax
purposes on the exchange of such Membership Interest for Shares and cash.
