Re:		$150,000,000 Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Facility”), for Republic Property Limited Partnership (the “Borrower”).

Gentlemen:

This letter (the “Mandate Letter”) will confirm the understanding of the Borrower and KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), in its capacity as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and KeyBanc Capital Markets (“KeyBanc”) in its capacity as sole lead arranger (“Lead Arranger”), in connection with a Secured Revolving Credit Facility in an amount of up to $150,000,000, (the “Facility”), as set forth in the Summary of Terms and Conditions dated February 28, 2006 attached hereto (the “Term Sheet”).

The Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger are pleased to arrange the Facility and move forward on a good faith basis to form a syndicate of financial institutions (the “Lenders”) reasonably acceptable to you for the Facility. The undertakings of the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger hereunder are subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger in their sole discretion:

	(a)		each of the terms and conditions set forth herein and to be set forth in the definitive loan documentation for the Facility;
	(b)		each of the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Sheet and Fee Letter;
	(c)		the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation with respect to the Facility consistent with the Term Sheet and otherwise satisfactory to Agent.

This Mandate Letter combined with the Term Sheet and Fee Letter (collectively, the “Commitment Documents”) represent an outline of the basis under which the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger are prepared to act. The terms and conditions of the Facility, while substantially defined in the Commitment Documents, are not necessarily limited to those set forth in the Commitment Documents.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to actively assist the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger in achieving a syndication of the Facility that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger and Borrower. Syndication of the Facility will be accomplished by a variety of means, including direct contact during the syndication between representatives of the Borrower and the proposed Lenders.

To assist the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger in the syndication effort, you hereby agree to (a) provide and cause your advisors to provide the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger and the other Lenders upon request with all information reasonably deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger to complete syndication, (b) assist the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger upon their reasonable request in the preparation of an Offering Memorandum to be used in connection with the syndication of the Facility (the Offering Memorandum shall be subject to your prior reasonable approval) and (c) otherwise assist the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger in their syndication efforts, including making available officers and advisors of the Borrower from time to time to attend and make presentations regarding the business and prospects of the Borrower, as appropriate, at a meeting or meetings of prospective Lenders. You further agree to refrain from engaging in any additional debt financings for the Borrower and its subsidiaries until the earlier of a successful syndication and a date 120 days after the closing date of the Facility, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger. It is understood that the foregoing shall not be construed as limiting the Borrower from causing its subsidiaries to incur, assume or maintain debt secured by properties of the subsidiaries to the extent the same would be permitted under the terms contemplated for the Facility.

It is understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger, after consultation with you, will manage and control all aspects of the syndication, including decisions as to the selection of proposed Lenders and any titles offered to proposed Lenders, when commitments will be accepted and the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders. It is understood that no Lender participating in the Facility will receive compensation from you outside the terms contained herein and in the Term Sheet in order to obtain its commitment. It is also understood and agreed that the amount and distribution of the fees among the Lenders will be at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger and that any syndication in excess of the total Facility amount will reduce the commitment of the Administrative Agent. No additional Administrative Agent will be appointed without the prior approval of the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger.

In the event the Facility cannot be successfully syndicated under the terms outlined in the Term Sheet, the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger shall be entitled with the consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to change the structure or terms of the Facility, if the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger determine that such changes are advisable in order to ensure a successful syndication. The Term Sheet shall be deemed to be amended to reflect such changes and the syndication process shall continue. For purposes hereof, a successful syndication is one in which commitments (in compliance with the terms of the Term Sheet) totaling in an amount equal to the Facility (including a reduction of KeyBank’s commitment to its desired hold level of not greater than $50,000,000) have been received and closed from financial institutions acceptable to the Lead Arranger and Borrower.

KeyBank’s commitment hereunder and in the Commitment Documents is not subject to the syndication of the Facility. Until the closing date of the Facility, however, KeyBank’s commitment hereunder and in the Commitment Documents is subject to the following conditions precedent: (a) each of the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Term Sheet and Fee Letter and to be set forth in the definitive loan documentation for the Facility; (b) satisfactory completion of all due diligence; (c) no material misstatements or omissions from the Information or Projections; (d) KeyBank’s continuing satisfaction that there has not occurred any material adverse change in the financial condition, business, operations, assets, or prospects of Borrower; (e) there not having occurred and being continuing since the date hereof a material adverse change in the market for syndicated loans of the types contemplated by the Term Sheet, or a material disruption of, or material adverse change in, financial, banking, or capital market conditions which materially and adversely affect the market for syndication of facilities of the types contemplated by the Term Sheet, in each case as determined by the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger in their sole discretion;

and (f) the negotiation, execution, and delivery of definitive documentation with respect to the Facility (“Loan Documents”) in form and substance satisfactory to Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and their respective counsel, which Loan Documents will include, without limitation, the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Documents and other provisions customary for this type of financing transaction (in compliance with the terms of the Term Sheet). If, on or before the closing date of the Facility, the Administrative Agent’s continuing review of the Borrower discloses material adverse information relating to conditions or events not previously disclosed to the Administrative Agent or additional developments in the condition (financial or otherwise), assets, properties, business, operations, or prospects of Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, then the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, require reasonable changes in the Term Sheets (subject to the provisions of the previous paragraph) to reflect alternative financing amounts or structures that are satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or may withdraw its commitment.

The Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants that (i) all information, other than the Projections (as defined below), which has been or is hereafter made available to the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger by you or any of your representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (“Information”) is and will be complete and correct in all material respects and does not and will not (to your knowledge) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading and (ii) all financial projections concerning the Borrower and its subsidiaries that have been or are hereafter made available to the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger by you or any of your representatives (the “Projections”) have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions. You agree to furnish us with such Information and Projections as we may reasonably request and to supplement the Information and the Projections as we may reasonably request and to supplement the Information and the Projections from time to time until the closing date for the Facility so that the representation and warranty in the preceding sentence is correct on such date. In arranging and syndicating the Facility, the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger will be using and relying on the Information and the Projections without independent verification thereof.

By acceptance of this offer, the Borrower agrees (subject, however, to the terms and conditions of the Fee Letter and Term Sheet) to reimburse the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger for reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and expenses of due diligence) incurred by third parties on behalf of the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger arising in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, and delivery of the Commitment Documents or the Loan Documents, and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the closing of the financing and syndication of the Facility contemplated hereby, whether or not the Facility closes.

In the event that KeyBank, the Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger, any other lenders, their respective affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”) become involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any matter contemplated by this letter, the Borrower will reimburse the Indemnified Party for their legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) as they are incurred by the Indemnified Party, unless and only to the extent that it shall be finally judicially determined that such involvement resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party or from the breach by the Indemnified Party of their respective obligations under the Commitment Documents. The Borrower also is to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, related to or arising out of any matters contemplated by this letter, unless and only to the extent that it shall be finally judicially determined that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the

Indemnified Party or from the breach by the Indemnified Party of their respective obligations under the Commitment Documents.

The provisions of the immediately preceding two paragraphs shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether definitive financing documentation for the Facility shall be executed and delivered and notwithstanding the termination of this letter or the commitments of the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger hereunder.

Neither this offer nor the undertaking and commitment contained herein may be disclosed to or relied upon by any other person or entity other than your accountants, attorneys and other advisors, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger, except that following your acceptance hereof you may make public your disclosure hereof as required by law or court order. Any public disclosure of the terms and conditions of this commitment must be pre-approved by the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger.

As described herein, KeyBanc will act as Lead Arranger for the Facility. The Administrative Agent reserve the right to allocate, in whole or in part, to Lead Arranger certain fees payable to the Administrative Agent in such manner as the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger agree in their sole discretion. You acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent may share with any of its affiliates any information relating to the Facility, the Borrower and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

This letter shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. This letter may be modified or amended only in writing. This letter is not assignable by the Borrower without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger. This letter supersedes and replaces any and all proposals or Term Sheet (other than the Commitment Documents attached hereto) previously delivered by the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger to the Borrower relating to the Facility.

Neither KeyBank, Administrative Agent nor Lead Arranger shall be required to pay any brokerage fees or commissions arising from the issuance of this letter or the Facility and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to defend, indemnify and hold KeyBank, Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger harmless from and against any and all cost, claim, liability, damage or expense (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection therewith.

In no event shall KeyBank, Administrative Agent or Lead Arranger be liable to Borrower for any damages caused or alleged to be caused by the failure of any lender other than KeyBank to fund its proportionate share of the Facility. Furthermore, in no event shall KeyBank, Administrative Agent or Lead Arranger be liable to Borrower for punitive damages, exemplary damages or consequential damages, including, without limitation lost profits, as a result of or in connection with KeyBank failing or refusing to fund the Facility, or for a breach of any nature by KeyBank or Lead Arranger of its obligations under or in connection with this letter or the Facility prior to or simultaneous with the funding of the Facility, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ waives all claims for punitive damages, exemplary damages and consequential damages in connection with KeyBank failing or refusing to fund the Facility or any portion thereof or KeyBank or Lead Arranger breaching any of their respective obligations, and in connection with any and all breaches on the part of KeyBank or Lead Arranger that may occur prior to or simultaneous with the funding of the Facility.

This letter is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower and KeyBank and Lead Arranger and no other person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Letter.

This commitment will expire 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 7, 2006 unless Borrower executes and delivers this letter to the Administrative Agent prior to that time, whereupon this letter shall

become a binding agreement. Within five business days of the execution of this letter by the Borrower, a deposit of $250,000 shall be delivered to KeyBank. Thereafter, the above undertaking and commitment will expire at 5:00 Eastern Time on May 8, 2006, unless definitive documentation for the Facility is executed and delivered prior to that time.

Very truly yours,

INITIAL TERM:		Three years from closing.
AMORTIZATION:		Interest only.

OPTION:		The Borrower shall have the option to extend the Facility for one additional year provided that (i) at least 90 days prior to the maturity date, the Borrower provides written notice of its intent to exercise the Extension Option, (ii) no Defaults or Events of Default shall then be in existence, (iii) all representations and warranties are true and accurate in all material respects at the time of such extension and (iv) the Extension Fee is paid.

Interest on LIBOR Rate loans shall be payable in arrears on a monthly basis, upon any prepayment and at final maturity. Interest on all loans and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year for LIBOR Rate loan and 365- or 366-day year, as applicable, otherwise.
		In no event may the Borrower elect an interest period for a LIBOR Rate loan which would extend beyond the maturity date of the Facility and, unless all of the Lenders otherwise agree, in no event may there be more than six different interest periods for LIBOR Rate loans outstanding under the Facility at any one time.

After default, the interest rate will be equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin plus 3% per annum.
UNUSED FEE:		The Borrower shall pay a per annum fee (“Unused Fee”) to the Lenders equal to a percentage (“Unused Fee Rate”) of the unused Aggregate Revolving Commitment. The Unused Fee shall be based on the average daily “unused” amount for the quarter and will be paid quarterly in arrears.
