Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meaning set forth in Section 6.1, unless defined elsewhere herein.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Investors, together, will agree herein to purchase the Private Placement Shares (as defined below) in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

EQUITY COMMITMENT; PRIVATE PLACEMENT; COMMITMENT FEE

SECTION 1.1 The Equity Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and during the Term (as defined below), Investors hereby agree that Investors will fund to the Company, from time to time as designated by the Company at its discretion, an amount or amounts as designated by the Company (each an “Equity Draw”) in return for which Investors will receive the Private Placement Shares in accordance with Section 1.2 (the “Equity Commitment”). Any Equity Draw shall be at least in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and all Equity Draws together shall not exceed $13,500,000 (or such lesser amount which would result in the Equity Commitment Shares (as defined below) being less than 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock (as defined below) of the Company before the issuance of the Equity Commitment Shares). If the Company desires to make any Equity Draw, the Company shall notify Investors in writing of the amount of the Equity Draw (the “Draw Notice”) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the first day of the calendar month on which the Company desires to receive such Equity Draw; provided, however, if the Company needs to make an Equity Draw in order to address a monetary default or a potential monetary default anticipated within the next 10 days under any of the Company’s loans (“Fannie Loans”) with Xxxxxx Xxx (“Fannie”), the Company may give a Draw Notice at any time upon 10 days prior notice to Investor.

SECTION 1.2 Private Placement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, within three (3) Business Days after the funding of such Equity Draw, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, the Company shall issue to Investors (the “Private Placement”) shares of Company common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), equal in number to the amount of the Equity Draw divided by the issue price (“Issue Price”) of the Common Stock issued at the time or times any Equity Draw is funded in accordance with the Draw Notice (the “Private Placement Shares”). Issue Price shall mean $10 per share.

SECTION 1.3 Commitment Fee. The Company and Investors hereby acknowledge and agree that, in consideration for the Company’s right to require Investors to fund the Equity Draws in return for the Private Placement Shares pursuant to the Equity Commitment on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall issue to Investors 67,500 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Fee Shares”) within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date (calculated by $675,000 fee divided by Issue Price). The Commitment Fee Shares are also issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

SECTION 1.4 Adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock issued as part of the Private Placement Shares shall be proportionately adjusted for any subdivision or combination (by stock split, reverse stock split, dividend, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Common Stock that occurs during the Term of this Agreement and prior to the applicable Equity Draw.

No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

No waiver of any party to this Agreement will be effective unless it is in a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the waiving party that makes express reference to the provision or provisions subject to such waiver. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 6.4 Assignment. Neither this Agreement, nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party; provided however, the Company’s rights hereunder may be collaterally assigned to a bank or other financial institution making a loan to the Company secured by this Agreement.

The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court in the State of Delaware) for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such action, suit or proceeding and irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any such court or that any such action, suit or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such action, suit or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 6.2 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

SECTION 6.7 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, without the necessity of posting bond or other undertaking, the parties shall be entitled to, in addition to the other remedies provided herein, specific performance of this Agreement and to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any state or federal court in the State of Delaware in addition to the other remedies to which such parties are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law.

SECTION 6.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

SECTION 6.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.

SECTION 6.13 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.14 Contingent Effectiveness.
