ARTICLE 1.

CONTRIBUTION OF COLUMN INTEREST

Section 1.1                                      Contribution of Column Interest.  At the Closing (as defined in Section 7.1) and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Contributor shall contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to the Company, absolutely and unconditionally, and free and clear of all Liens, the Column Interest in exchange for Common Shares, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.  The contribution and assumption of the Column Interest shall be evidenced by a Contribution and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Contribution and Assumption Agreement”).  From and after the Closing, the Contributor shall no longer

ARTICLE 2.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CONTRIBUTOR

The Contributor represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

Section 2.1                                      Organization; Authority; Qualification.  The Contributor is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation and has the requisite power and authority to carry on its business as it is presently conducted and, to the extent required under applicable law, is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or operation of its property make such qualification necessary.

Section 2.2                                      Due Authorization.  The Contributor has the requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  This Agreement and each agreement, document and instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Contributor pursuant to this Agreement constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Contributor, each enforceable against the Contributor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or the application of equitable principles.

Section 2.3                                      Consents and Approvals.  Except as shall have been satisfied prior to the Closing Date, no consent, waiver, approval or authorization of any third party or Governmental Entity is required to be obtained by the Contributor in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 2.4                                      Ownership of the Column Interest.  The Column Interest constitutes all of the interests in W&D LLC that are held by the Contributor.  The Contributor is the sole owner of the Column Interest, beneficially and of record, free and clear of any Liens of any nature, other than Liens imposed by the Operating Agreement, and, upon delivery of consideration for such Column Interest as herein provided, the Company will acquire good title thereto, free and clear of any Liens, other than Liens imposed by the Operating Agreement.  There exist no rights to purchase, subscriptions, warrants, options, conversion rights or preemptive rights relating to the Column Interest, other than any such rights provided for in the Operating Agreement.

2

Section 2.5                                      Non-Contravention.  None of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, any agreement contemplated hereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Contributor does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, (i) contravene, violate or conflict with the organizational documents of the Contributor, (ii) contravene, violate, or conflict with, any foreign, federal, state, local or other law binding on the Contributor, or by which the Contributor or any of its respective assets or properties (including the Column Interest) are bound or subject, (iii) result in any violation of, breach of, default under or give rise to a right of termination, acceleration, modification or cancellation or other right adverse to the Contributor under (A) any agreement, document or instrument to which the Contributor is a party or by which the Contributor or the Column Interests are bound, or (B) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree of a Governmental Entity by which the Contributor or the Column Interest is bound, (iv) require any approval, consent or waiver of, or the making of any filing with, any Person, including any Governmental Entity or (v) result in the creation of any Lien upon the Column Interest.

Section 2.6                                      Non-Foreign Status.  The Contributor is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), and is not subject to any withholding requirements under the Code or other applicable law in connection with any payment or consideration contemplated under this Agreement.

Section 2.7                                      Investment Purposes.  The Contributor acknowledges its understanding that the offering and issuance of the Common Shares to be acquired pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations in effect thereunder (the “Act”) and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of the Contributor contained herein, and further acknowledges as follows:

(a)                                  Investment.  The Contributor is acquiring the Common Shares solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not as a nominee or agent for any other person and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution of such Common Shares.  The Contributor agrees and acknowledges that it will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) any of the Common Shares, unless (i) the Transfer is pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and qualification or other compliance under applicable blue sky or state securities laws, or (ii) counsel for the Contributor (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to the effect that no such registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from registration under the Act.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Transfer shall be made unless it is permitted under the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company.

(b)                                 Knowledge.  The Contributor is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in business and financial matters and fully understands the limitations on transfer imposed by applicable securities laws and as described in this Agreement.  The Contributor is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Common Shares for an indefinite period and is able to afford the complete loss of its investment in the Common Shares.  The Contributor has received and reviewed all information and documents about or pertaining to the Company, the business and prospects of the Company and the issuance of the Common Shares as the Contributor deems necessary or desirable and has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to ask questions and receive answers about such information and documents, the Company, the business and prospects of the Company and the Common Shares, which the Contributor deems necessary or desirable to evaluate the merits and risks related to its investment in the Common Shares.

3

(c)                                  Holding Period.  The Contributor acknowledges that it has been advised that (i) the Common Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement are “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption therefrom; accordingly, such Contributor may have to bear indefinitely the economic risks of an investment in the Common Shares; (ii) a restrictive legend in the form hereafter set forth shall be placed on the Share Certificates; and (iii) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Company indicating that the Common Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer.

(d)                                 Accredited Investor.  The Contributor is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Act).

(e)                                  Legend.  Each Share Certificate issued pursuant to this Agreement shall bear the following legend:

The securities evidenced hereby have not been registered under the Act, or the securities laws of any state and may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the absence of such registration, unless, except in limited circumstances, the transferor delivers to the company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the company, to the effect that the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition may be effected without registration under the Act and under applicable state securities laws.

Section 2.8                                      Solvency.  The Contributor will be solvent immediately following the transfer of the Column Interest to the Company.

Section 2.9                                      Tax.  No Tax Lien or other charge exists or will exist upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to the Column Interest.  No amount is required to be withheld in respect of Taxes from any consideration payable to the Contributor pursuant to this Agreement under the Code or any other applicable law.  The Contributor has no present plan or intention to sell any Common Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement during the Lock-Up Period.

Section 2.10                                Exclusive Representations.  Except as set forth in this Article 2, the Contributor makes no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, and the Company acknowledges that it has not relied upon any other such representation or warranty.  The Contributor acknowledges that no representation or warranty has been made by the Company with respect to the legal and Tax consequences of the transfer to the Company of the Column Interest, nor with respect to the Contributor’s receipt of Common Shares as consideration therefor.  The Contributor acknowledges that it has not relied upon any other such representation or warranty.

F.                                      The parties hereto intend that the Formation Transactions will be governed by Section 351 of the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual undertakings set forth below, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.
CONTRIBUTION OF REMAINING COMPANY INTERESTS

Section 1.1                                      Contribution of Remaining Company Interests.  At the Closing (as defined in Section 7.1) and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Contributors shall contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to the Company, absolutely and unconditionally, and, except as set forth in Section 2.3, free and clear of all Liens, the Remaining Company Interests in exchange for Common Shares, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.  The contribution and assumption of the Remaining Company Interests shall be evidenced by a Contribution

ARTICLE 2.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CONTRIBUTORS

Each Contributor severally, with respect to itself only, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

Section 2.2                                      Consents and Approvals.  Except as shall have been satisfied prior to the Closing Date, no consent, waiver, approval or authorization of any third party or Governmental Entity is required to be obtained by such Contributor in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 2.3                                      Ownership of the Remaining Company Interests.  The Remaining Company Interests to be contributed by such Contributor constitute all of the interests in each Participating Company that are held by such Contributor.  Such Contributor is the sole owner of the Remaining Company Interests to be contributed by such Contributor, beneficially and of record, free and clear of any Liens of any nature, other than (i) Liens imposed by the applicable Participating Company’s Operating Agreement and (ii) Liens imposed as security for or otherwise with respect to any loan made to a Participating Company.  Upon delivery of consideration for the Remaining Company Interests to be contributed by such Contributor as herein provided, the Company will acquire good title thereto, free and clear of any Liens, other than (i) Liens imposed by the applicable Participating Company’s Operating Agreement and (ii) Liens imposed as security for or otherwise with respect to any loan made to a Participating Company which the Company has not caused to be released prior to the Closing.  There exist no rights to purchase, subscriptions, warrants, options, conversion rights or preemptive rights relating to the Remaining Company Interests to be contributed by such Contributor, other than such rights provided for in the applicable Participating Company’s Operating Agreement.

2

Section 2.4                                      Non-Contravention.  None of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, any agreement contemplated hereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by such Contributor does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, (i) contravene, violate or conflict with the organizational documents of such Contributor, (ii) contravene, violate, or conflict with, any foreign, federal, state, local or other law binding on such Contributor, or by which such Contributor or any of its respective assets or properties (including the Remaining Company Interests to be contributed by such Contributor) are bound or subject, (iii) result in any violation of, breach of, default under or give rise to a right of termination, acceleration, modification or cancellation or other right adverse to such Contributor under (A) any agreement, document or instrument to which such Contributor is a party or by which such Contributor or the Remaining Company Interests to be contributed by such Contributor are bound, or (B) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree of a Governmental Entity by which such Contributor or the Remaining Company Interests to be contributed by such Contributor are bound, (iv) require any approval, consent or waiver of, or the making of any filing with, any Person, including any Governmental Entity or (v) result in the creation of any Lien upon the Remaining Company Interests to be contributed by such Contributor.

Section 2.6                                      Investment Purposes.   Such Contributor acknowledges its understanding that the offering and issuance of the Common Shares to be acquired pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations in effect thereunder (the “Act”) and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of such Contributor contained herein, and further acknowledges as follows:

(a)                                  Investment.  Except for the Common Shares which may be sold by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the Public Offering, such Contributor is acquiring Common Shares solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not as a nominee or agent for any other person and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution of such Common Shares.  Such Contributor agrees and acknowledges that it will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) any of the Common Shares, unless (i) the Transfer is pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and qualification or other compliance under applicable blue sky or state securities laws, or (ii) if requested by the Company, counsel for such Contributor (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to the effect that no such registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from registration under the Act.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Transfer shall be made unless it is permitted under the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company.

(b)                                 Knowledge.  Such Contributor is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in business and financial matters and fully understands the limitations on transfer imposed by applicable securities laws and as described in this Agreement.  Such Contributor is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Common Shares for an indefinite period and is able to afford the complete loss of its investment in the Common Shares.  Such Contributor has received and reviewed all information and documents about or pertaining to the Company, the business and prospects of the Company and the issuance of the Common Shares as such Contributor deems necessary or desirable and has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to ask questions and receive answers about such information and documents, the Company, the business and prospects of the Company and the

3

Common Shares, which such Contributor deems necessary or desirable to evaluate the merits and risks related to its investment in the Common Shares.

(c)                                  Holding Period.  Such Contributor acknowledges that it has been advised that (i) the Common Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement are “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption therefrom; accordingly, such Contributor may have to bear indefinitely the economic risks of an investment in the Common Shares; (ii) a restrictive legend in the form hereafter set forth shall be placed on the Share Certificates; and (iii) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Company indicating that the Common Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer.

(d)                                 Accredited Investor.  Such Contributor is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Act).

(e)                                  Legend.  Each Share Certificate issued pursuant to this Agreement shall bear the following legend:

The securities evidenced hereby have not been registered under the Act, or the securities laws of any state and may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the absence of such registration, unless, except in limited circumstances, the transferor delivers to the company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the company, to the effect that the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition may be effected without registration under the Act and under applicable state securities laws.

Section 2.7                                      Solvency.   Such Contributor will be solvent immediately following the transfer by such Contributor of its Remaining Company Interests to the Company.

Section 2.8                                      Tax.   No Tax Lien or other charge exists or will exist upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to the Remaining Company Interests to be contributed by such Contributor.  There are no outstanding powers of attorney relating to Tax matters with respect to the Remaining Company Interests to be contributed by such Contributor, or to the extent executed by such Contributor or any of its affiliates, with respect to any Participating Company.  There are no audits, investigations, disputes, notices of deficiency, assessments, claims, litigation, or other actions for or relating to any liability for Taxes (including, for the sake of clarity, any liability for any amount as a result of a failure to comply with applicable Tax law) of such Contributor or any of its affiliates with respect to such Contributor’s investment in any Participating Company that is ongoing, pending, or which have been threatened in writing.  Neither such Contributor nor any of its affiliates has taken any action or position inconsistent with the tax items reported to such Contributor on Schedule K-1 of either IRS Form 1065 or IRS Form 1120-S (or, in either case, any state or local analogues), as the case may be, in respect of its investment in any Participating Company.  No amount is required to be withheld in respect of Taxes from any consideration payable to such Contributor pursuant to this Agreement under the Code or any other applicable law.  Except for the Common Shares which may be sold by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the Public Offering, no Contributor has any present plan or intention to sell any Common Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement during the applicable Lock-Up Period.

Section 2.10                                Exclusive Representations.  Except as set forth in this Article 2, such Contributor makes no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, and the Company acknowledges that it has not relied upon any other such representation or warranty.  Such Contributor acknowledges that no representation or warranty has been made by the Company with respect to the legal and Tax consequences of the transfer to the Company of the Remaining Company Interests to be contributed by such Contributor, nor with respect to such Contributor’s receipt of Common Shares as consideration therefor.  Such Contributor acknowledges that it has not relied upon any other such representation or warranty.

Re:          Proposed Public Offering by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Dunlop, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Dunlop, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and you as the representatives (the “Representatives”) of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company.

In order to induce the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned agrees that the undersigned will not, during a period of 365 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or with respect to which such person has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of Common Stock, whether any such swap, hedge or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.  In the event that (1) during the last 17 days of the 365 day restricted period, the Company releases earnings results or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the 365 day restricted period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 365 day restricted period, then in each case the 365 day restricted period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results or the occurrence of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless the Representatives waive, in writing, such extension.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) to any trust or family limited partnership for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust or general partner of the family limited partnership, as the case may be, agrees to be bound by

the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, or (iii) with your prior written consent; provided, however, that transfers referenced under (i) and (ii) shall not involve a disposition for value and no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the 365-day restricted period).  For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.

Upon consummation of the Formation Transactions (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) and/or grant of equity under the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, the undersigned will have and, except as contemplated by clauses (i) through (iii) above and except with respect to shares sold as selling shareholders in the initial public offering, for the duration of the Lock-Up Agreement will have good and marketable title to the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever, except with respect to any liens, encumbrances and claims that were in existence on the date hereof.  The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s Common Stock, except in compliance with this Lock-Up Agreement.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of the undersigned’s Common Stock if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Agreement.

The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement.  The undersigned agrees that the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement shall be binding also upon the successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the undersigned.

The undersigned understands that if the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective, by 6-months from the date hereof or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Common Stock to be sold thereunder, the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this Lock-up Agreement.

TO
CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

FORM OF CONTRIBUTION AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned (the “Contributor”) hereby assigns, transfers, sells and conveys to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & DUNLOP, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), its entire legal and beneficial right, title and interest in and to the interests in each Participating Company set forth opposite the Contributor’s name on Schedule A attached hereto, including all right, title and interest, if any, of the undersigned in and to the assets of each Participating Company and the right to receive distributions of money, profits and other assets from each Participating Company, presently existing or hereafter at any time arising or accruing..

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the same unto the Company, its successors and assigns, forever.

Upon the execution and delivery hereof, the Company assumes from the Contributor, all obligations in respect of the interests in the Participating Companies set forth opposite the Contributor’s name on Schedule A attached hereto accruing from and after the date hereof.

The Contributor, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby covenants and agrees that, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof upon the written request of the Company, it will, without further consideration, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, each and all of such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Company in order to assign, transfer, set over, convey, assure and confirm unto and vest in the Company, its successors and assigns, title to the Remaining Company Interests (as defined in that certain Contribution Agreement, dated as of  October 29, 2010, by and among the Company, the Contributor and the other parties thereto (the “Contribution Agreement”)) granted, sold, transferred, conveyed and delivered by this Agreement.

Exhibit E-1

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date first above written.

Exhibit E-2

EXHIBIT F
TO
CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

TOTAL CONSIDERATION

The Total Consideration to be received by each Contributor in exchange for its Remaining Company Interests shall be the number of Common Shares determined by reference to the formulas set forth below for such Contributor and subject, in all applicable cases, to any splits or other similar adjustments made prior to or in connection with the Closing:

Exhibit F-1

(1) Numbers shown reflect an overall indirect percentage interest in all of the Participating Companies based on legal ownership.  Individual numbers will be adjusted prior to Closing once the Public Offering Price has been determined to take into account (i) the settlement of outstanding intercompany receivables among the W&D LLC and the Participating Companies, and (ii) an allocation of debt of GPF Acquisition, LLC and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Dunlop Multifamily, Inc. to its equity owners, both as of October 31, 2010.  Such adjustment shall be determined by the Company, in its reasonable judgment.  As a result, the Total Consideration to be received by each Contributor may be less or more than what is reflected in the table.  Assuming a Public Offering of 10,000,000 Common Shares at a Public Offering Price of $15.00 per Common Share, it is currently estimated that the adjustments described above would result in the Total Consideration to be received by each Contributor to be as follows:

Exhibit F-2

DE = Distributable Equity

POP = Public Offering Price

“Distributable Equity” means Gross Equity Value minus Public Equity Value.

“Gross Equity Value” means the gross equity value of the Company upon the closing of the Formation Transactions and the Public Offering (excluding any shares issued by the Company at the time of the Public Offering pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plan), as determined by the Company in consultation with the underwriters in the Public Offering.

“Public Equity Value” means the equity value of the shares of the Common Shares issued by the Company to the investors in the Public Offering, calculated by multiplying the number of Common Shares issued in the Public Offering (excluding any Common Shares issued upon exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option) by the Public Offering Price.

“Public Offering Price” means the public offering price set forth on the cover page of the final prospectus for the Public Offering.

Any fractional Common Shares that a Contributor would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the calculation set forth above shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of Common Shares.

Exhibit F-3

EXHIBIT G

(e)           The address for the Transferor is:
