"Client") for the services of Bankers One Capital in obtaining equity financing for the following

Property: The to be built 175 Guest Room Cambria Suites Hotel

Financing Provide up to $1,200,000 of preferred equity to the


company. Proceeds will be used as a component of the
equity required to finance the building and start-up of the
hotel.

Current Pay The preferred equity investor would receive a


periodic (4-weeks normally) dividend payments yielding
approximately 12% of amount invested as well as about 6%
for share redemption. They normally set a rate off sales,
what they call Revenue Participation Payment or RPS (for
example, if they invest $1,000,000 a rate of approximately
2 % of periodic revenue would apply).

Redemption 35% of each Revenue Participation Payment will


redeem a portion of the outstanding Preferred Shares at the
original purchase price. The remaining 65% of each
Revenue Participation Payment will be considered a
preferred dividend to the preferred equity investor. As such,
this is a self-redeeming security, and after a number of
years, depending on revenue growth, the preferred equity
investor’s ownership decreases to zero.

RPS Deferral Up to six Revenue Participation Payments may be


deferred if the company determines that such payments
would reduce the Company’s cash position to a level
insufficient to support operations. The seventh and all
additional outstanding deferred Revenue Participation
Payments will bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month,
compounded annually.
If, at any time, twelve Revenue Participation
Payments have not been paid in full, the Company will be
considered to be in breach of its obligations, and all
outstanding Revenue Participation Payments plus all
accrued interest on all outstanding Revenue Participation
Payments will automatically become immediately due and
payable.

Call Option Although the Revenue Participation Payments will


“naturally” redeem all of the Preferred Shares over time,
the company will have the right to redeem all of the
outstanding Preferred Shares at a value which gives us our
target return.

Put Option On the sixth anniversary of the issuance of the


Preferred Shares, and anytime thereafter, the preferred
equity investor will have the right to require the company
to purchase the Preferred Shares. The company will only
be obligated to redeem such number of Preferred Shares
that the company determines that it can redeem without
jeopardizing the operating liquidity of the Company.

4. Bankers One Capital shall not be responsible for any costs (including, but not limited to: title
insurance, ALTA survey, escrow fee, environmental inspections, recording charges, appraisal
fee, notary fee, tax service fee, capital source's legal fees or any other customary or unusual
closing expenses) incurred in making and completing of the financing commitment pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement.

5. A equity placement fee in the amount of one hundred and fifty basis points (1.50%) of the
total preferred equity amount shall be contained in any financing commitment procured by
Bankers One Capital for Client in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement or application for financing or applicable term sheet, and shall be due, owing and
payable by Client to Bankers One Capital upon loan closing. It being understood that if the
transaction does not close, for whatever reason, no fee is due to Bankers One Capital.

6. If this Agreement is not extended after its expiration, Bankers One Capital shall submit to
Client a written list of the capital sources Bankers One Capital contacted on behalf of Client,
such Capital sources to have been approved in advance by client. Notwithstanding the
election of Client not to extend this Agreement, Bankers One Capital shall be entitled to the
fees set forth in this Agreement if any capital source on that list provides equity or funding
for a loan for Applicant's captioned property during the 24-month period following the date
this Agreement would otherwise expire under Paragraph 1.

7. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Connecticut.

8. Each party of this Agreement shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party from any
loss incurred directly or indirectly by reason of the known falsity or inaccuracy of any
representation in this Agreement or its supporting documents by the party making that
representation.

9. Bankers One Capital shall use its best efforts to procure a financing commitment for Client
on the terms and conditions set forth in Paragraph 3 of this Agreement. However, nothing in
this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee or warranty on the part of Bankers One
