WHEREAS, the board of directors of each of the Parent and Acquisition Subsidiary has (i) approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Parent and Acquisition Subsidiary, as the case may be, of this Agreement and the Reincorporation Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Reincorporation Merger, and (ii) declared it advisable for Parent and Acquisition Subsidiary, respectively to enter into this Agreement and the Reincorporation Merger Agreement;

(a)

Each Purchased Loan including, to the extent permitted to be assigned under applicable law, all claims, suits, causes of action and any other right of each Partnership under the Loan Documents against any Person, whether known or unknown, arising under or in connection with the Loan Documents or in any way based on or related to any of the foregoing;

(b)

The Loan Documents relating to such Purchased Loan; and

(c)

The Loan Files relating to such Purchased Loan

The assets referred to in this Section 1.1 are collectively referred to as the “Purchased Assets.”

1.2

Assumed Obligations

The Purchase Price will be payable in Buyer Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”), valued at a per-share price equal to $0.530 per share.

(b)

In the event that, between the date hereof and the Closing Date a Partnership receives a principal payment with respect to a Purchased Loan that is not already reflected in the applicable Loan Purchase Price set forth in the then-current Loan Schedule, such Partnership shall, no later than the Cut-off Time, prepare and deliver to Buyer an updated Loan Schedule reflecting the updated Loan Purchase Price for each Purchased Loan as of the Closing, as contemplated by the first sentence of Section 1.5.

1.5

Principal Repayments; Interest and Fees

. The Loan Purchase Price with respect to a particular Purchased Loan shall be reduced by the amount, if any, of the principal payments received by each Partnership between the date hereof and the Cut-off Time.

1.6

Additional Payments

.

Exemption from Registration; Rule 144

The Buyer and each Partnership intend that the shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof, and any shares of Buyer Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof (if any), will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC thereunder and/or Regulation S promulgated by the SEC and that all recipients of such shares of Common Stock shall either be “accredited investors” or not “U.S. Persons” as such terms are defined in Regulation D and Regulation S, respectively.

The Partnership has received information determined by it to be necessary in order to make an informed investment decision regarding the investment in Buyer Common Stock. The Partnership acknowledges that Buyer Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of various states, and, therefore, cannot be sold unless it is subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from registration is available. Further, the Partnership understands that the transfer agent records will reflect the foregoing restrictions and, so long as such restrictions are in effect, a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such shares.

acceptable to Buyer, to the effect that the sale, assignment or other transfer of Buyer Common Stock may be made without registration under the Securities Act, or (c) if the Partnership provides Buyer with notice that the shares of Buyer Common Stock are being sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor rule thereto). The Partnership agrees to sell the shares of Buyer Common Stock only in compliance with all applicable securities laws.

2.8

Compliance; Litigation Related to the Purchase Assets

(a)

The Partnership has complied in all material respects with all Requirements of Law applicable to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Obligations.

(b)

There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the Partnership knowledge, threatened against the Partnership by any Borrower, Guarantor or third Person in respect of the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Obligations and there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending in which the Partnership is the plaintiff or claimant and which relate to any of the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Obligations.

2.11

Duty to Make Inquiry

. To the extent that any of the representations or warranties in this Article II are qualified by “knowledge” or “belief,” the Partnership represents and warrants that it has made reasonable inquiry and investigation concerning the matters to which such representations and warranties relate, including, but not limited to, reasonable inquiry by the directors, officers and key personnel of the general partner of the Partnership.

- 7 -

context thereof that such disclosure also applies to any other numbered paragraph contained in this Article III, the disclosures in any numbered paragraph of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify such other corresponding numbered paragraph in this Article III. For purposes of this Article III, the phrase “to the knowledge of the Parent” or any phrase of similar import shall be deemed to refer to the actual knowledge of any officer or director of the Parent (which shall include the Buyer) as well as any other knowledge which such person would have possessed had such person made reasonable inquiry of appropriate officers, directors, key employees, accountants and attorneys of the Parent with respect to the matter in question.

6.3

Indemnification Claims.

(a)

In the event the Parent or the Partnerships are entitled, or seek to assert rights, to indemnification under this Article VI, the Parent or the Partnerships (as the case may be) shall give written notification to the Partnerships or the Parent (as the case may be) of the commencement of any Proceeding relating to a third party claim for which indemnification pursuant to this Article VI may be sought. Such notification shall be given within 20 business days after receipt by the party seeking indemnification of notice of such Proceeding, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the party seeking indemnification) the facts constituting the basis for such Proceeding and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the party seeking indemnification in notifying the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within 20 days after delivery of such notification, the indemnifying party may, upon written notice thereof to the party seeking indemnification, assume control of the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the party seeking indemnification; provided that the indemnifying party may not assume control of the defense of a Proceeding involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the party seeking indemnification. If the indemnifying party does not so assume control of such defense, the party seeking indemnification shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense (the “NonControlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the indemnifying party assumes control of such defense and the party seeking indemnification reasonably concludes that the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the party seeking indemnification shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling such defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such Proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Proceeding (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Proceeding. The indemnifying party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Proceeding without the prior written consent of the party seeking indemnification, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the consent of the party seeking indemnification shall not be required if the indemnifying party agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment and such settlement or judgment includes a complete release of the party seeking indemnification from further liability and has no other materially adverse effect on the party seeking indemnification. The party seeking indemnification shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Proceeding without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

- 40 -

(b)

In order to seek indemnification under this Article VI, the party seeking indemnification shall give written notification (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party which contains (i) a description and the amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the party seeking indemnification, (ii) a statement that the party seeking indemnification is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI for such Damages and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment (in the manner provided in paragraph (c) below) in the amount of the Claimed Amount.

(c)

Within 20 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the indemnifying party shall deliver to the party seeking indemnification a written response (the “Response”) in which the indemnifying party shall: (i) agree that the party seeking indemnification is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount, (ii) agree that the party seeking indemnification is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) or (iii) dispute that the party seeking indemnification is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the indemnifying party in the Response disputes its liability for all or part of the Claimed Amount, the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 6.3(d) for the resolution of such dispute (a “Dispute”).

(d)

During the 60-day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within such 60-day period, the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall discuss in good faith the submission of the Dispute to a mutually acceptable alternative Dispute resolution procedure (which may be non-binding or binding upon the parties, as they agree in advance) (the “ADR Procedure”). In the event the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification agree upon an ADR Procedure, such parties shall, in consultation with the chosen Dispute resolution service (the “ADR Service”), promptly agree upon a format and timetable for the ADR Procedure, agree upon the rules applicable to the ADR Procedure, and promptly undertake the ADR Procedure. The provisions of this Section 6.3(d) shall not obligate the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification to pursue an ADR Procedure or prevent either such Party from pursuing the Dispute in a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification agree to pursue an ADR Procedure, neither the indemnifying party nor the party seeking indemnification may commence litigation or seek other remedies with respect to the Dispute prior to the completion of such ADR Procedure. Any ADR Procedure undertaken by the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall be considered a compromise negotiation for purposes of federal and state rules of evidence, and all statements, offers, opinions and disclosures (whether written or oral) made in the course of the ADR Procedure by or on behalf of the indemnifying party, the party seeking indemnification or the ADR Service shall be treated as confidential and, where appropriate, as privileged work product. Such statements, offers, opinions and disclosures shall not be discoverable or admissible for any purposes in any Proceeding relating to the Dispute (provided that this sentence shall not be construed to exclude from discovery or admission any matter that is otherwise discoverable or admissible). The fees

- 41 -

and expenses of any ADR Service used by the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall be considered to be Damages; provided, that if the indemnifying party are determined not to be liable for Damages in connection with such Dispute, the party seeking indemnification shall pay all such fees and expenses.

(e)

For purposes of this Section 6.3 and the last two sentences of Section 6.4, any references to the Partnerships or the Indemnifying Stockholders (except provisions relating to an obligation to make, or a right to receive, any payments provided for in Section 6.3 or Section 6.4) shall be deemed to refer to the Indemnification Representative. The Indemnification Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of each Indemnifying Stockholder to take any and all actions on behalf of, execute any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute or waive any and all rights of, the Indemnifying Stockholders under this Article VI. The Indemnification Representative shall have no liability to any Indemnifying Stockholder for any action taken or omitted on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders pursuant to this Article VI.

6.4

Survival of Representations and Warranties

. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall (a) survive the Closing and any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of the Parent or the Partnership and (b) shall expire on the date three hundred sixty days following the Closing Date. If an party entitled to indemnification delivers to a party from whom it may seek indemnification hereunder, before expiration of a representation or warranty, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, or a notice that, as a result a Proceeding instituted by or written claim made by a third party, the party entitled to indemnification reasonably expects to incur Damages as a result of a breach of such representation or warranty (an “Expected Claim Notice”), then such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such Expected Claim Notice.
