The Asset Advisor shall report to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or is anticipated to create a conflict of interest between the Asset Advisor’s obligations to ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT and its obligations to or its interest in any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Asset Advisor or its Affiliates shall promptly disclose to the Board knowledge of such condition or circumstance. If the Asset Advisor or its Affiliates have sponsored other investment programs with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the same time as ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT, it shall be the duty of the Board (including the Independent Directors) to adopt the method set forth in the Registration Statement or another reasonable method by which properties are to be allocated to the competing investment entities and to use their best efforts to apply such method fairly to ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT.

The Asset Advisor shall be required to use its best efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT which is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT, but neither the Asset Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Asset Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT even if the opportunity is of character which, if presented to ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT, could be taken by ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT. In the event that the Asset Advisor or its Affiliates is presented with a potential investment which might be made by ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT and by another investment entity which the Asset Advisor or its Affiliates advises or manages, the Asset Advisor shall consider the investment portfolio of each entity, cash flow of each entity, the effect of the acquisition on the diversification of each entity’s portfolio, rental payments during any renewal period, the estimated income tax effects of the purchase on each entity, the policies of each entity relating to leverage, the funds of each entity available for investment and the length of time such funds have been available for investment. In the event that an investment opportunity becomes available

which is suitable for both ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT and a public or private entity which the Asset Advisor or its Affiliates are Affiliated, then the entity which has had the longest period of time elapse since it was offered an investment opportunity will first be offered the investment opportunity.

An amount equal to one-twelfth of 0.05% (5 basis points) of Fair Market Value of the Properties determined as of the last day of the previous calendar year shall be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT on the last business day of each month in cash; or, at the option of Asset Advisor, in Shares issued to a trust within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pursuant to a form of trust agreement to be mutually agreed upon by Asset Advisor and ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT. The value of the Shares for purposes of this Section 8(a)(ii) shall be deemed to be $10 per Share, reduced on a per share basis by any Dividends previously paid which were attributable to Net Sales Proceeds.

(b) Subordinated Disposition Fee. If Asset Advisor or an Affiliate thereof provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by a majority of the Independent Directors) in connection with the Sale of one or more Properties sold, including Properties sold prior to January 1, 2005, the Asset Advisor or its Affiliate shall receive a Subordinated Disposition Fee equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of a Competitive Real Estate Commission or (ii) 3.0% of the sale price of such Property or Properties sold. The Subordinated Disposition Fee will be paid only if Stockholders have received total Dividends in an amount equal to the sum of their aggregate Invested Capital and their aggregate Stockholders’ 8.0% Return. To the extent that Subordinated Disposition Fees are not paid by ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT on a current basis due to the foregoing limitation, the unpaid fees will be accrued and paid at such time as the subordination

conditions have been satisfied. The Subordinated Disposition Fee may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total real estate commissions paid to all persons by ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6.0% of the Contract Sales Price of a Property or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission. Upon Listing, if the Asset Advisor has accrued but not been paid such Subordinated Disposition Fee, then for purposes of determining whether the subordination conditions have been satisfied, Stockholders will be deemed to have received Dividends in the amount equal to the product of the total number of Shares outstanding and the average closing price or average of bid and asked price, as the case may be, over a period of 30 days during which the stock is traded, with such period beginning 180 days after Listing (the “Aggregate Share Trading Value”).

In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to such time as the Stockholders have received total Dividends in an amount equal to 100% of Invested Capital plus an amount sufficient to pay the Stockholders’ 8.0% Return through the Termination Date, an appraisal of the Properties then owned by ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT shall be made and the Subordinated Disposition Fee on Properties previously sold will be deemed earned if the Appraised Value of the Properties then owned by ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT, ▇▇▇▇▇ OP and their subsidiaries plus total Dividends received prior to the Termination Date equals 100% of Invested Capital plus an amount sufficient to pay the Stockholders’ 8.0% Return through the Termination Date.

(c) Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds. The Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds shall be payable to the Asset Advisor in an amount equal to 10% of Net Sales Proceeds remaining, if any, after the Stockholders have received Dividends equal to the sum of the Stockholders’ 8.0% Return and 100% of Invested Capital. Following Listing, no Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds will be paid to the Asset Advisor.

(d) Subordinated Incentive Fee. Upon Listing, Asset Advisor shall be entitled to the Subordinated Incentive Fee in an amount equal to 10.0% of the amount by which (i) the market value of the outstanding stock of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT, measured by taking the Aggregate Share Trading Value, plus the total of all Dividends paid to Stockholders from ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT’s inception until the date of Listing, exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) 100% of Invested Capital and (B) the total Dividends which would be required to be paid to the Stockholders in order to pay the Stockholders’ 8.0% Return from inception through the date of Listing. The Subordinated Incentive Fee shall be paid in cash or, at the option of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT, may be paid in Shares; provided, that in the event ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT elects to pay all or some portion of the Subordinated Incentive Fee in Shares, the Asset Advisor shall have the right to cause such Shares to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement in such form as shall be negotiated between the parties and mutually agreed upon by both ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT and Asset Advisor prior to the issuance of such Shares. If some or all of the Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid in Shares, the value of such Shares shall be determined by using the average closing price or average of bid and asked price, as the case may be, over a period of 30 days during which the stock is traded, with such period beginning 180 days after Listing. The Subordinated Incentive Fee will be reduced by the amount of any prior payment to Asset Advisor of a deferred Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds from a Sale or Sales of Property. In the event the Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid to Asset Advisor following Listing, no other performance fee will be paid to Asset Advisor.

(e) Changes to Fee Structure. In the event of Listing, ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT and the Asset Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee structure appropriate for a perpetual-life entity. A majority of the Independent Directors must approve the new fee structure negotiated with the Asset Advisor. In negotiating a new fee structure, the Independent Directors shall consider all of the factors they deem relevant, including, but not limited to: (i) the amount of the advisory fee in relation to the asset value, composition and profitability of the Properties; (ii) the success of the Asset Advisor in generating opportunities that meet the investment objectives of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT; (iii) the rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by advisors performing the same or similar services; (iv) additional revenues realized by the Asset Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship with ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT, including loan administration, underwriting or broker commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether paid by ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT or by others with whom ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT does business; (v) the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the Asset Advisor; (vi) the performance of the Properties, including income, conversion or appreciation of capital, and number and frequency of problem investments; and (vii) the quality of the Properties in relationship to the investments generated by the Asset Advisor for its own account. The new fee structure can be no more favorable to the Asset Advisor than the current fee structure.

(f) Loans from Affiliates. If any loans are made to ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT or ▇▇▇▇▇ OP by the Asset Advisor or any Affiliate of the Asset Advisor, the terms of any such loans shall be no less favorable than the terms available between non-Affiliated Persons for similar commercial loans and must be approved by a majority of Directors, including a majority of Independent Directors.

9. Expenses.

(a) Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided, all costs and expenses incurred hereunder by Asset Advisor in fulfilling its duties to ▇▇▇▇▇ OP shall be on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇ OP or ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT. In addition to the compensation paid to the Asset Advisor pursuant to Section 8 hereof, ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT shall pay directly or reimburse the Asset Advisor for all of the expenses paid or incurred by the Asset Advisor in connection with the services it provides to ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT or ▇▇▇▇▇ OP pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

(xii)

Out of pocket costs in order for ▇▇▇▇▇ OP or ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances.

The determination as to whether a cost or expense is of a type or nature that is reimbursable by ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT or ▇▇▇▇▇ OP shall be made in a manner consistent with the practices in effect as of the effective date hereof, except costs or expenses otherwise specifically approved for reimbursement by a majority of the Independent Directors of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT.

(b) Notwithstanding the above, and except for reimbursement of additional Employee Expenses otherwise specifically approved for reimbursement by a majority of the Independent Directors of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT, the sum of (i) reimbursements to the Asset Advisor for Employee Expenses; plus (ii) reimbursements of Employee Expenses to the Acquisition Advisor pursuant to Section 9 of that certain Acquisition Advisory Agreement of even date herewith; plus (iii) reimbursements to ▇▇▇▇▇ Management Company, Inc. of Employee Expenses under Section 3.1 of that certain Master Property Management, Leasing and Construction Management Agreement of even date herewith, but only to the extent that such Employee Expenses under said Master Property Management, Leasing and Construction Management Agreement relate specifically to Existing Portfolio Properties which are being managed by ▇▇▇▇▇ Management Company, Inc. on the effective date hereof, shall not exceed $8,240,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year.

(c) Expenses incurred by the Asset Advisor on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇ OP or ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT and payable pursuant to this Section 9 shall be reimbursed no less than monthly to the Asset Advisor. The Asset Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT during each quarter, and shall deliver such statement to ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT within 45 days after the end of each quarter.

10. Fidelity Bond. Asset Advisor shall maintain a fidelity bond for the benefit of ▇▇▇▇▇ OP and ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT which bond shall insure ▇▇▇▇▇ OP and ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT from losses of up to $5,000,000 per occurrence and shall be of the type customarily purchased by entities performing services similar to those provided to ▇▇▇▇▇ OP and ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT by the Asset Advisor.

11. Reimbursement to the Asset Advisor. ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT shall not reimburse the Asset Advisor and its Affiliates at the end of any fiscal quarter Operating Expenses that, in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year. Any Excess Amount paid to the Asset Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT. If there is an Excess Amount in any Expense Year and the Independent Directors determine that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, the Excess Amount may be carried over and included in Operating Expenses in subsequent Expense Years, and reimbursed to the Asset Advisor in one or more of such years, provided that Operating Expenses in any Expense Year, including any Excess Amount to be paid to the Asset Advisor, shall not exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines. Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT for which total Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, there shall be sent to the stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified. Such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors. ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT will not reimburse the Asset Advisor or its Affiliates for services for which the Asset Advisor or its Affiliates are entitled to compensation in the form of a separate fee. All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

16. Relationship of Asset Advisor, ▇▇▇▇▇ OP and ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT. Asset Advisor is not a partner or joint venturer with ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT or ▇▇▇▇▇ OP, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on any of them, and neither shall have the power to bind or obligate the other except as set forth herein. In all respects, the status of Asset Advisor under this Agreement is that of an independent contractor.

17. Bank Accounts. The Asset Advisor may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in its own name for the account of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT or ▇▇▇▇▇ OP or in the name of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT or ▇▇▇▇▇ OP and may collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT or ▇▇▇▇▇ OP, under such terms and conditions as the Board may approve, provided that no funds shall be commingled with the funds of the Asset Advisor; and the Asset Advisor shall from time to time render appropriate accountings of such collections and payments to the Board and to the auditors of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT.

18. Records; Access. The Asset Advisor shall maintain appropriate records of all its activities hereunder and make such records available for inspection by the Board and by counsel, auditors and authorized agents of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT, at any time or from time to time during normal business hours.

In addition, for the purpose of obtaining financing, Asset Advisor may collaterally assign its right to receive fees under this Agreement and, upon the receipt of written notice from

any such assignee that Asset Advisor is in default pursuant to the terms of any such financing, ▇▇▇▇▇ OP shall pay any Asset Advisory Fees otherwise payable to Asset Advisor pursuant to Section 8(a) of this Agreement to such assignee. Except as set forth above, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Asset Advisor without the written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT. This Agreement may not be assigned by ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT without the written consent of the Asset Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT to a corporation, trust or other organization which is a successor in interest to ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT. Any assignment of this Agreement shall be binding upon the assignee in the same manner and the assignor is bound hereunder.

20. Indemnification by ▇▇▇▇▇ OP and ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT. ▇▇▇▇▇ OP and ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT shall jointly, and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Asset Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance, subject to any limitations imposed by the laws of the State of Maryland or the Articles of Incorporation of ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Asset Advisor shall not be entitled to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to this Section 20 for any activity which the Asset Advisor shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless ▇▇▇▇▇ OP or ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT pursuant to Section 21.

21. Indemnification by Asset Advisor. The Asset Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless ▇▇▇▇▇ OP and ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses including attorneys’ fees, to the extent that such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Asset Advisor’s bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, misconduct, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties; provided, however, that the Asset Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board of Directors in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Asset Advisor.

25. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and severable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.

This Agreement may not be modified or amended other than by an agreement in writing.

27. Indulgences, not Waivers. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.

33. The “▇▇▇▇▇” Name. It is acknowledged and agreed that Asset Advisor and its Affiliates have a proprietary interest in the name “▇▇▇▇▇.” The Asset Advisor hereby grants to ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive royalty-free right and license to use the name “▇▇▇▇▇” during the term of this Agreement. Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT ceases to retain Asset Advisor or an Affiliate thereof to perform the services of Asset Advisor, ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT will, promptly after receipt of written request from Asset Advisor, cease to conduct business under or use the name “▇▇▇▇▇” or any derivative thereof and ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT shall change the name of the company to a name that does not contain the name “▇▇▇▇▇” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Asset Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT and the Asset Advisor or any Affiliate thereof. At such time, ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT will also make any changes to any trademarks, servicemarks or other marks necessary to remove any references to the word “▇▇▇▇▇.” Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Asset Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having “▇▇▇▇▇” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by ▇▇▇▇▇ REIT.
