The Offering Period shall continue as long as Shares are being offered through the Registration Statement, but not to exceed 30 months after the SEC Effective Date. The Company agrees to file a supplement to the Registration Statement whenever required by law or appropriate to fully inform participants in the Offering of material changes in the Company’s business or finances. Subject to the performance by the Company of all of its obligations to be performed hereunder, and to the completeness and accuracy of all the representations and warranties contained herein, the Exclusive Managing Agent hereby accepts such agency and agrees on the terms and conditions herein set forth to use its reasonable best efforts during the Offering Period to find subscribers for the Shares at the current public offering price (each subscriber being required to invest at least $5,000, except for IRAs and ▇▇▇▇▇ and Pension Plans which shall be required to invest at least $2,000). The time for each issuance of and payment for Shares is herein referred to as a “Closing Date.” The initial Closing Date shall take place promptly after subscribers have been obtained for $9 million of Shares (the “Initial Closing Date”).

(b) All subscription payments for the Shares shall be deposited into a qualified escrow account maintained by an escrow agent mutually acceptable to the Company and the Exclusive Managing Agent.

(c) If less than all the Shares shall have been subscribed and paid for at the Initial Closing Date, then, at periodic intervals to be mutually agreed upon by the Exclusive Managing Agent and the Company during the Offering Period, there shall be subsequent closings for the payment to the Company of the purchase price of additional Shares sold by the Exclusive Managing Agent (the “Subsequent Closing Date(s)”) as described in Section 2(d).

(d) Subsequent closing(s) will take place at such time(s), date(s) and place(s) as determined by the Company, with the concurrence of the Exclusive Managing Agent. Shares will be issued to subscribers and compensation will be paid to the Exclusive Managing Agent at each Subsequent Closing Date.

The Exclusive Managing Agent shall appoint such a recommended dealer as a Selected Dealer unless it has reasonable grounds for not making such an appointment. Each such Selected Dealer shall be a member in good standing of NASD.

(f) As compensation for the services of the Exclusive Managing Agent under this Agreement, the Exclusive Managing Agent will be paid in immediately available funds, on each Closing Date, a commission equal to 7.0% of the public offering price for each Share placed by or on behalf of the Exclusive Managing Agent and subscribed and paid for at each Closing Date (other than reinvestment Shares by affiliates of the Company not solicited by the Exclusive Managing Agent).

The Exclusive Managing Agent reserves the right (in its sole discretion) to reduce any item of compensation or adjust the terms thereof as specified herein in the event that a determination shall be made by the NASD to the effect that the Exclusive Managing Agent’s aggregate compensation is in excess of NASD rules or that the terms thereof require adjustment.

(g) Neither the Company, nor the Exclusive Managing Agent or any Selected Dealer participating in the Offering shall, directly or indirectly, pay or award any finder’s fees, commissions or other compensation to any person engaged by a potential investor for investment advice as an inducement to such adviser to advise the purchase of Shares; provided, however, that normal sales commissions payable to a registered broker-dealer or other properly licensed person for selling Shares shall not be prohibited hereby.

(i) The Company has advised the Exclusive Managing Agent that it or one of its affiliates may desire to engage in wholesaling activities in the future. (Wholesaling activities are activities devoted to interesting broker/dealers or their representatives in participating in the Offering). The Company agrees to consult with the Exclusive Managing Agent concerning the scope and the cost of such activities and to obtain the approval of the Exclusive Managing Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, before it or one of its affiliates engages in such activities.

Company or any of its affiliates for wholesaling activities will be credited against the 7.0% commission payable to the Exclusive Managing Agent.

could be expected to result in a material adverse change in the business, financial position or results of operations of the Company, taken as a whole.

(m) The Company will comply in all material respects with all applicable securities and other applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Exchange Act, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company’s directors and officers, in their capacities as such, to comply in all material respects with such laws, rules and regulations.

4. Expenses.

(a) The Company covenants and agrees with the Exclusive Managing Agent that, except as otherwise agreed to by the Exclusive Managing Agent and the Company, the Company will pay the following:

(i)

the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants and all other expenses in connection with the registration of the Shares under the Act and the qualification of the Shares under Blue Sky laws

(vii)

all travel, food, lodging, entertainment, meeting facility rental and other related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the cost of producing and delivering all selling materials and, to the extent allowable under applicable securities laws and/or approved by applicable regulatory authorities, advertising expenses) incurred by the Company in connection

with attending or hosting meetings relating to the Offering with prospective retail or wholesale investors, selected dealers and other participating broker-dealers;

(viii)

the cost of one “tombstone” advertisement relating to the Offering to be placed in a daily or weekly periodical of the Exclusive Managing Agent’s choice and not more than 125 lucite mementos;

(b) Within three days after the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company shall pay to the Exclusive Managing Agent an initial advance of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000). Monthly thereafter the Company shall make additional advances to the Exclusive Managing Agent based upon monthly invoices showing actual expenses incurred sufficient to maintain the advance amount at twenty thousand dollars ($20,000). At the Initial Closing, the total of the initial advance and the additional advances shall be deemed an advance towards the 3.0% non-accountable expense allowance described in Section 2(f) above and shall be credited at the Initial Closing Date against the amount due thereunder. Immediately following the Initial Closing and each subsequent closing, the Company shall pay to the Exclusive Managing Agent an advance of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000). Monthly thereafter the Company shall continue to make additional advances to the Exclusive Managing Agent based upon monthly invoices showing actual expenses incurred, sufficient to maintain the advance amount at twenty thousand dollars ($20,000). At each subsequent Closing, the total of such twenty thousand dollar ($20,000) advance and the additional advances made since the previous Closing shall be deemed an advance towards the 3.0% non-accountable expense allowance described in Section 2(f) above and shall be credited at such Closing Date against the amount due thereunder. At the final Closing, all advances made since the previous Closing shall be deemed an advance towards the 3.0% non-accountable expense allowance described in Section 2(f) above and shall be credited at such Closing Date against the amount due thereunder, such that immediately following the final Closing, all such advances shall have been credited towards the 3.0% non-accountable expense allowance.

(c) If the sale of the Shares provided for herein is not consummated, other than by reason of a default by the Exclusive Managing Agent, the Exclusive Managing Agent will retain that portion of the advance received from the Company as is equal to the Exclusive Managing Agent’s actual accountable out-of-pocket expenses, apply the remainder, if any, to the amount owed to the Exclusive Managing Agent’s legal counsel for its reasonable fees and costs, and reimburse the Company for the remainder, if any. In such event, the Company also will reimburse the Exclusive Managing Agent on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of its legal counsel, that the Exclusive Managing Agent has incurred in connection with the Offering in excess of any amounts paid by the Company pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof.

5. Early Termination.

(a) This Agreement shall terminate upon the termination of the Offering. The Company shall provide the Exclusive Managing Agent written notice of its intent to terminate the Offering at least two business days prior to such termination.

(b) If the ownership of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ of voting securities of the Exclusive Managing Agent are reduced to a level below fifty percent (50%) of the total voting securities of the Exclusive Managing Agent, the Exclusive Managing Agent shall provide written notice of such reduction to the Company within fifteen days thereof. The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of termination within ninety days of the receipt of the notice of such reduction. Such termination shall be effective ten business days after receipt of the termination notice by the Exclusive Managing Agent.

(c) This Agreement may be terminated by the Company if (i) the Exclusive Managing Agent ceases to be a member in good standing of the NASD, (ii) the Exclusive Managing Agent becomes subject to an order or other action of or by the Commission or other securities authority substantially restricting or impairing the Exclusive Managing Agent’s ability to offer and sell the Shares under this Agreement in a manner materially adverse to the Offering as a whole, or (iii) there is a default by the Exclusive Managing Agent under this Agreement which is not cured within a reasonable time after the Company notifies the Exclusive Managing Agent in writing of the default and such default is materially adverse to the Offering as a whole.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event this Agreement is terminated as provided in this Section 5, the Exclusive Managing Agent will return to the Company any unearned portion of all fees received from the Company, and the Exclusive Managing Agent shall retain any amounts paid or reimbursed for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Exclusive Managing Agent to the extent provided in Section 4(b).

6. Covenants of the Exclusive Managing Agent. The Exclusive Managing Agent agrees that the distribution of the Offering will comply with the terms of the Prospectus, the Act, the Exchange Act and the securities laws (including applicable suitability standards, if any) of all jurisdictions in which the Exclusive Managing Agent offers the Shares or whose laws are applicable to the Offering and the Exclusive Managing Agent’s actions in connection therewith, and all rules promulgated under such acts and laws, and all applicable rules of NASD.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Exclusive Managing Agent, each Selected Dealer and each person or entity who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Exclusive Managing Agent, and such Selected Dealer may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any sales literature furnished to the Exclusive Managing Agent by the Company), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arise out of or are based upon any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or any alleged misrepresentation or breach of warranty set forth in this Agreement, or arise out of or are based upon the failure of the Company to comply with this Agreement; and will reimburse the Exclusive Managing Agent, and each Selected Dealer for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Exclusive Managing Agent, and such Selected Dealer in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by the Exclusive Managing Agent, relating to the Exclusive Managing Agent, expressly for use therein; and provided further that as to any Preliminary Prospectus, this Agreement to indemnify and hold harmless shall not inure to the benefit of the Exclusive Managing Agent, or any Selected Dealer if such person failed to give or send a copy of the Prospectus, as the same may be amended or supplemented, to an investor within the time required by the Act and Regulations, and the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged

omission to state a material fact in such Preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus or any supplement or amendment thereto.

(b) The Exclusive Managing Agent will indemnify and hold harmless the Company (which term shall be deemed to include its Subsidiaries) and each person or entity who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of a failure by the Exclusive Managing Agent to comply with any covenants contained in this Agreement, or arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by the Exclusive Managing Agent relating to the Exclusive Managing Agent expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless the indemnified party shall have reasonably determined that a potential conflict of interest

exists because of differing defenses available to the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, in which case the indemnified party shall be entitled to separate counsel. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Exclusive Managing Agent or any Selected Dealer on the other from the Offering; provided, however, that in no case shall the Exclusive Managing Agent or any Selected Dealer be responsible for any amount in excess of the compensation received by such person for selling Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of Company, on the one hand and the Exclusive Managing Agent or any Selected Dealer, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, and damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand and the Exclusive Managing Agent or any Selected Dealer, on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the Offering received by the Company bear to the total compensation received by the Exclusive Managing Agent or any Selected Dealer. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand or the Exclusive Managing Agent or any Selected Dealer or a on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Exclusive Managing Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified

party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer or director of, and each person, if any, who controls, the Exclusive Managing Agent and any Selected Dealer within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Exclusive Managing Agent under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Exclusive Managing Agent may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person who, with his consent, is named in the Registration Statement as proposed to become a director of the Company) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

9. Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Exclusive Managing Agent, as set forth in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by the Exclusive Managing Agent or on behalf of the Exclusive Managing Agent or any officer, director or controlling person of the Exclusive Managing Agent or the Company, and shall survive each Closing Date.

Form of Legal Opinion of Arent Fox PLLC

Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries, has been organized and validly exists as a corporation in good standing in accordance with and under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, with full corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the character or location of its properties (owned, leased or licensed) or the nature or conduct of its business makes such qualification necessary, except for those failures to be so qualified or in good standing which will not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on: (i) the business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, shareholders’ equity, properties or prospects of the Company and the Subsidiary, taken as a whole; (ii) the long-term debt or capital stock of the Company or the Subsidiary; or (iii) the Offering or consummation of any of the other transactions contemplated by the Agency Agreement, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (any such effect being a “Material Adverse Effect”).

The Company has the full corporate right, power and authority to execute and deliver the Agency Agreement and the Shares and to perform its obligations under the Agency Agreement, and all corporate action required to be taken by the Company for the due and proper authorization, execution and delivery of the Agency Agreement and the Shares and consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agency Agreement, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus have been duly and validly taken.

The Company has an authorized capitalization as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. All of the issued shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and were not, to our knowledge, issued in violation of, or subject to, any preemptive or similar rights that entitle or will entitle any Person to acquire any Shares from the Company upon issuance or sale thereof.

The Shares to be issued by the Company and delivered on the Closing Date and each Subsequent Closing Date have been duly and validly authorized and, when delivered as contemplated by Section 2 of the Agency Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and, to our knowledge, will not have been issued in violation of, or subject to, any preemptive or similar rights that entitle or will entitle any Person to acquire any Shares from the Company upon issuance or sale thereof. The Shares conform to the descriptions thereof contained in the Registration

Statement and the Prospectus.

5.	All of the issued shares of capital stock of its Subsidiaries have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable and owned directly or indirectly by the Company, free and clear of all perfected liens.

To our knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates has, prior to the date hereof, made any offer or sale of any securities of the Company which are required to be “integrated” pursuant to the Act or the Regulations with the offer and sale of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

The Agency Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (b) as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (c) we are not providing any opinion with respect to the enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provisions set forth in the Agency Agreement to the extent that such provisions are contrary to public policy as expressed by federal or state securities laws.

To our knowledge, and other than as set forth in the Prospectus, there are no judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or its Subsidiaries is the subject which, if determined adversely to the Company or its Subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, and, to our knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated.

9.	The businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries as described in the Prospectus and the Registration Statement (including the exhibits thereto) do not, as of the date hereof, expressly violate the respective charter documents and bylaws of such entities.

The execution, delivery, and performance of the Agency Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agency Agreement, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus do not and will not: (a) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any

property or assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to, any loan agreement, mortgage, lease or other agreement that is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (except any financial covenants contained therein, as to which we express no opinion), (b) violate any provision of the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or of its Subsidiaries, or (c) to our knowledge, violate any judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation of any court or any judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental agency or body, except, in the case of clauses (a) and (c) above, for such conflict, breach violation that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

12.

No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, filing, qualification, license or permit of or with any court or any judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance of the Agency Agreement or consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agency Agreement, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, except for: (1) such as may be required under state securities or blue sky laws in connection with the Offering, (2) such as have been made or obtained under the Act and (3) such as are required by NASD, as to which we express no opinion.

Commencing with the Company’s taxable year in which the first closing of the Offering made pursuant to the Registration Statement occurs, the Company will qualify to be taxed as a “real estate investment trust” pursuant to sections 856 through 860 of the Code, and the Company’s organization and proposed method of operation will enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code.

15.

The descriptions of the law and the legal conclusions contained in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement under the caption “Federal Income Tax Considerations” are correct in all material respects, and the discussion thereunder fairly summarizes the federal income tax considerations that are likely to be material to a holder of the Shares.

We furthermore hereby confirm (although we express no legal opinion) that as counsel, we have participated in conferences with officers and representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company and the Exclusive Managing Agent at which the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed. Although we assume no responsibility for

the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto (except as expressly provided above), no facts have come to our attention which would lead us to believe that the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective (including any post-effective amendment thereto and the information deemed to be part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A(b) or Rule 434, if applicable, but excluding financial statements, other financial information and other financial and statistical data included therein) contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus, any post-effective amendment thereof or supplement thereto (except for financial statements, other financial information and other financial and statistical data included therein), as of its date and as of any Subsequent Closing Date, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Whenever our opinion herein is indicated to be based on our knowledge, we intend to signify that the attorneys in this firm who have actively participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement or this opinion letter do not have current actual knowledge at the time of delivery of this opinion letter. Those lawyers are ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
