Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Term. The Company hereby employs the Executive, and the Executive hereby accepts such employment for an initial term commencing as of the date hereof and ending on December 31, 2007, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 or Section 5 (the period during which the Executive is employed hereunder being hereinafter referred to as the “Term”). The Term shall be subject to automatic one-year renewals unless either party hereto notifies the other, in accordance with Section 7.4, of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of any such Term. Notwithstanding the employment of the Executive by the Company, the Company shall be entitled to pay the Executive from the payroll of any subsidiary of the Company.

2. Duties. The Executive, in his capacity as Chairman of the Board and an executive officer of the Company, shall faithfully perform for the Company the duties of said office and shall perform such other duties of an executive, managerial or administrative nature as shall be specified and designated from time to time by the Board of Trustees of the Company (the “Board”) (including the performance of services for, and serving on the Board of Directors of, any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company without any additional compensation). The Executive shall devote a sufficient portion of the Executive’s business time and effort to the performance of the

Executive’s duties hereunder. The Board may delegate its authority to take any action under this Agreement to the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees (the “Compensation Committee”).

3. Compensation.

3.1 Salary. The Company shall pay the Executive during the Term a base salary at the rate of $150,000 per annum (the “Annual Salary”), in accordance with the customary payroll practices of the Company applicable to senior executives generally. The Annual Salary may be increased annually by an amount as may be approved by the Board or the Compensation Committee, and, upon such increase, the increased amount shall thereafter be deemed to be the Annual Salary for purposes of this Agreement.

3.2 Bonus. The Executive will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual bonus plan (the “Bonus Plan”), the terms of which will be established by the Compensation Committee. The Executive may be awarded such restricted shares, share options and other equity-based awards under the Company’s equity compensation plan (“Equity Awards”) as the Compensation Committee determines to be appropriate.

3.3 Benefits – In General. The Executive shall be permitted during the Term to participate in any group life, hospitalization or disability insurance plans, health programs, pension and profit sharing plans and similar benefits that may be available to other senior executives of the Company generally, on the same terms as may be applicable to such other executives, in each case to the extent that the Executive is eligible under the terms of such plans or programs. During the Term, the Company shall maintain customary liability insurance for trustees and officers and list the Executive as a covered officer.

With respect to each such benefit plan and program, service with KMI Realty Advisors or any of its affiliates (as applicable) shall be included for purposes of determining eligibility to participate (including waiting periods, and without being subject to any entry date requirement after the waiting period has been satisfied), vesting (as applicable) and entitlement to benefits. The medical plan or plans maintained by the Company shall waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements. With respect to vacation benefits provided by the Company, the vacation benefit of Executive shall include all hours of accrued but unused vacation and sick time hours, respectively, with KMI Realty Advisors or any of its affiliates.

3.4 Vacation. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to vacation of four (4) weeks per year.

3.5 Automobile. During the Term, the Company will provide the Executive an allowance of $9,000 per year for the use of an automobile (including the payment of vehicle insurance). At the option of the Company, in lieu of providing such allowance, the Company will provide the Executive with an automobile of suitable standard to the Executive’s position.

3.6 Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all ordinary and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred (and, in the case of reimbursement, paid) by the Executive during the Term in the performance of the Executive’s

services under this Agreement; provided that the Executive submits such expenses in accordance with the policies applicable to senior executives of the Company generally.

4. Termination upon Death, Disability or Retirement. If the Executive dies during the Term, the obligations of the Company to or with respect to the Executive shall terminate in their entirety except as otherwise provided under this Section 4. If the Executive becomes eligible for disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plans and arrangements (or, if none apply, would have been so eligible under the most recent plan or arrangement), the Company shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to terminate the employment of the Executive upon notice in writing to the Executive and such termination in and of itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement; provided, that, the Company will have no right to terminate the Executive’s employment if, in the opinion of a qualified physician reasonably acceptable to the Company, it is reasonably certain that the Executive will be able to resume the Executive’s duties on a regular full-time basis within 90 days of the date the Executive receives notice of such termination.

Upon death, other termination of employment by virtue of disability or upon termination by the Executive without Good Reason (as defined below) (i) the Executive (or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries in the case of the death of the Executive) shall have no right to receive any compensation or benefit hereunder on and after the Effective Date of the Termination other than Annual Salary earned and accrued under this Agreement prior to the Effective Date of the Termination, any bonus for the prior year not yet paid, and other benefits, including payment for accrued but unused vacation, earned and accrued under this Agreement prior to the Effective Date of the Termination (and reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses incurred but not paid prior to the Effective Date of the Termination) and an amount equal to the product of (x) the Executive’s target annual bonus for the fiscal year of the Executive’s death, disability or termination without Good Reason and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Effective Date of the Termination, and the denominator of which is 365; (ii) all Equity Awards held by the Executive shall become fully vested and exercisable; and (iii) this Agreement shall otherwise terminate upon the Effective Date of the Termination and there shall be no further rights with respect to the Executive hereunder (except as provided in Section 7.13). For purposes of this Section 4, the “Effective Date of the Termination” shall mean the date of death, the date on which a notice of termination by virtue of disability is given or any later date (within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice) set forth in such notice of termination, or in the case of termination by the Executive without Good Reason, the date of termination specified in such Executive’s notice of termination.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the payments set forth in this Section 4 constitute liquidated damages for termination of his employment during the Term upon death, by virtue of disability or by the Executive without Good Reason.

5.3 Nature of Payments. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the payments set forth in this Section 5 constitute liquidated damages for termination of his employment during the Term.

6. Confidential and Proprietary Information.

6.1 Confidential Information. The Executive shall keep secret and retain in strictest confidence, and shall not use for his personal benefit or the benefit of others or directly or indirectly disclose, except as may be required or appropriate in connection with his carrying out his duties under this Agreement, all confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliates, or to the Company’s or any such affiliate’s respective businesses and investments (including confidential information of others that has come into the possession of the Company or any such affiliate), learned by the Executive heretofore or hereafter directly or indirectly from the Company or any of its affiliates and which is not generally available lawfully and without breach of confidential or other fiduciary obligation to the general public without restriction (the “Confidential Company Information”), except with the Company’s express written consent or as may otherwise be required by law or any legal process.

6.2 Return of Documents; Rights to Products. All memoranda, notes, lists, records, property and any other tangible product and documents (and all copies thereof) made, produced or compiled by the Executive or made available to the Executive concerning the businesses and investments of the Company and its affiliates shall be the Company’s property and shall be delivered to the Company at any time on request. The Executive shall assign to the Company all rights to trade secrets and other products relating to the Company’s business developed by him alone or in conjunction with others at any time while employed by the Company.

6.3 Rights and Remedies upon Breach. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that any breach by him of any of the provisions of this Section 6 (the “RestrictiveCovenants”) would result in irreparable injury and damage for which money damages would not provide an adequate remedy. Therefore, if the Executive breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company and its affiliates shall have the right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced (without posting bond and without the

need to prove damages) by any court having equity jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the right to an entry against the Executive of restraining orders and injunctions (preliminary, mandatory, temporary and permanent) against violations, threatened or actual, and whether or not then continuing, of such covenants. This right and remedy shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company and its affiliates under law or in equity (including, without limitation, the recovery of damages). The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of the Restrictive Covenants.

7. Other Provisions.

7.1 Severability. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Executive has had an opportunity to seek advice of counsel in connection with this Agreement. If it is determined that any of the provisions of this Agreement, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions of this Agreement shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full affect, without regard to the invalid portions.

7.2 Enforceability; Jurisdictions. The Company and the Executive intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive Covenants upon the courts of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of the Restrictive Covenants. If the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the Restrictive Covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of breadth of scope or otherwise it is the intention of the Company and the Executive that such determination not bar or in any way affect the Company’s right, or the right of any of its affiliates, to the relief provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such Restrictive Covenants, as to breaches of such Restrictive Covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, such Restrictive Covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction’s being, for this purpose, severable, diverse and independent covenants, subject, where appropriate, to the doctrine of res judicata.

7.3 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any legal proceeding relating to this Agreement or any term or provision thereof, the losing party shall be responsible to pay or reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such proceeding; provided, however, the Executive shall not be required to pay or reimburse the Company unless the claim or defense asserted by the Executive was unreasonable.
