W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, on September 18, 1969 the Trust entered into an advisory agreement with
the B. F. Saul Company (“Saul”), which was amended from time to time; and

 

WHEREAS, on May 1, 1972 the Trust, Saul and the Advisor entered into a contract
by which Saul’s interest in said advisory agreement, as amended, was assigned to
the Advisor; and

 

WHEREAS, said advisory agreement, as amended from time to time was amended and
restated in full as of July 1, 1974; and

 

WHEREAS, there have been changes in the affairs of the Trust and in the general
real estate industry of which it is a part; and

 

WHEREAS, the Trust, in connection with its affairs, desires to continue to avail
itself of the experience, sources of information, advice, assistance, management
and certain facilities of, and available to, the Advisor, and the Trust also
desires to have the Advisor continue to undertake certain duties and
responsibilities and perform certain services as hereinafter set forth, on
behalf of, and subject to the supervision and control of, the Trustees of the
Trust (the “Trustees”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Advisor is willing to continue to undertake and perform, subject to
the supervision and control of the Trustees, the services hereinafter set forth;
and

 

WHEREAS, Saul, by a separate agreement with the parties hereto, consents to this
Amended and Restated Advisory Contract and therefore continues to be bound by
the provisions of the Assignment and Guaranty Agreement dated May 1, 1972
between Saul, the Advisor and the Trust;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants
herein contained, it is agreed that the Advisory Contract is amended and
restated as follows:

 

Services and Duties of the Advisor.

 

The Advisor shall consult with the Trustees and furnish them with advice and
recommendations regarding the affairs of the Trust and perform the general
management, financial, accounting and administrative functions of the Trust as a
business entity. As part of the general management function, the Advisor shall
supervise Franklin Property Company and other third party contractors which
perform leasing, property management, construction management, development,
condominium conversion and other services for the Trust. The Advisor shall also
perform such other services as the Trustees may deem in the best interest of the
Trust and within the purview of this contract.

 

A. The Advisor shall avoid taking any action which would adversely affect the
status of the Trust as a real estate investment trust under the applicable
sections of the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder
at any time that the Trustees have determined to qualify as such.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. The Advisor shall exercise all reasonable efforts to cause any property
forming part of the Trust’s investments to be duly insured against loss or
damage by fire, with extended coverage, and against such other insurable hazards
and risks as is customary and appropriate in the circumstances, and shall
otherwise carry out the policies from time to time adopted by the Trustees in
connection with the protection of such investments.

 

C. The Advisor shall maintain a fidelity bond from a responsible surety company
in such amount as the Trustees reasonably may specify from time to time covering
the Trust and its funds and other property, which bond shall protect the Trust
against all losses of any such funds or property from acts of the Advisor and
its directors, officers and employees.

 

D. In performing its duties under this Contract and in dealing with third
parties on behalf of the Trust, the Adviser shall act as the Trust’s agent, and
shall have full authority to act on behalf of the Trust.

 

E. It is the intention of the parties that, subject to the supervision and
control of the Trustees, the Advisor’s functions shall encompass those performed
by the senior management and corporate staff of a listed public company of
comparable size but exclude the direct real estate operating functions, which
are to be performed by Franklin Property Company and other third parties under
the supervision of the Advisor.

 

Expenses.

 

F. The Advisor shall provide and pay for all personnel, office space, equipment
and supplies necessary for the performance of its duties under this contract.
The Trust will reimburse the Advisor for its travel, transportation and other
related expenses incurred in the performance of its duties hereunder.

 

G. The Trust shall pay directly the following expenses with respect to its
operations (or shall reimburse the Advisor for any of such expenses which the
Advisor incurs on behalf of the Trust):

 

Interest and other costs of money borrowed by the Trust;

 

(1) Taxes, licenses and franchise fees imposed on the Trust, its properties, its
income or its operations;

 

(2) Finders’ fees and brokerage commissions in connection with the acquisition
and disposition of assets by the Trust;

 

(3) Fees and expenses of land planners, engineers, appraisers, architects,
contractors, leasing agents, property management agents, attorneys and other
consultants and third parties hired to perform services for the Trust;

 

(4) Costs of obtaining and maintaining capital, including but not limited to,
legal, audit, accounting, underwriting, brokerage, listing, registration and
other fees; charges of custodians, transfer agents, registrars, dividend
disbursement agents, indenture trustees, authenticating agents, paying agents,
brokers, underwriters and banks providing services to the Trust; and printing,
engraving and other expenses and taxes incurred in connection with issuance,
distribution, transfer and stock exchange listing of the Trust’s securities;

 

(5) Expenses connected directly with payments to shareholders of dividends or
distributions in cash or in any other form or payments of interest and principal
on indebtedness of the Trust;

 

(6) Expenses in connection with communications to holders of the Trust’s
securities, including the cost of printing and mailing proxy solicitation
materials and other reports and the cost of holding meetings of holders of
securities;

 

(7) Fees and expenses of outside counsel and auditors for the Trust;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(8) Trustees’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with the functioning
of the Board of Trustees and Committees thereof;

 

(9) Costs of obtaining and maintaining membership in trade associations,
including the costs of attending meetings of such associations;

 

(10) Insurance premiums and related costs; and

 

(11) Any other cost or expense which the independent Trustees determine is more
appropriately borne by the Trust than the Advisor.

 

Compensation.

 

The Trust shall pay the Advisor monthly as compensation for its services under
this Contract a fee at the rate of $160,000 per month. Upon the request of
either the Trust or the Advisor, but at least annually, the Trust and the
Advisor shall review the compensation of the Advisor to insure that it is fair
and reasonable to both the Trust and the Advisor and make any adjustment agreed
upon. If they cannot agree on the amount of the adjustment, if any, within sixty
(60) days, then the dispute shall be submitted to Garland J. Bloom, Jr., George
J. Boyce, Gilbert M. Grosvenor, Thomas J. Owen, T. William Blumenauer, Jr.,
Philip Lamer Gore, and Philip C. Jackson, Jr., or as many of them who agree to
participate, who shall determine the amount of such adjustment, if any, and its
effective date, by a two-thirds vote of those participating. If none of the
named individuals agrees to participate, the dispute shall be submitted to
arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association.

 

H. In addition to the compensation provided under subparagraph A above, the
Trust shall reimburse the Advisor quarterly for all reasonable costs and
expenses, both direct and indirect, which are incurred by the Advisor in
connection with the acquisition and development of real property on behalf of
the Trust and which, if reimbursed by the Trust, would be capitalized by the
Trust under generally accepted accounting principles. In the event of any
disagreement between the Trust and the Advisor with respect to the amount or the
reasonableness of any reimbursement claimed by the Advisor, the dispute shall be
referred to those Trustees who are independent of the Advisor.

 

I. All amounts payable to the Advisor under subparagraphs A and B above shall be
due on the last day of each month or quarter as the case may be and an estimated
payment may be made at that time or any time thereafter; however, by the mutual
agreement of the parties hereto, payment of any monthly or quarterly
compensation or reimbursement may be deferred until the precise amount of said
compensation has been calculated, but in no event shall said payment be deferred
more than thirty (30) days after the end of the applicable period.

 

Compensation for Other Services.

 

J. In addition to the compensation provided in paragraph 3 herein, the Advisor
and/or its affiliates may receive commissions on insurance placed by them with
respect to the Property or operations of the Trust, provided that the premium
charge for any such insurance is not more than any other bona fide premium
proposed to the Trust in a competitive bid for such insurance by a reputable
company.

 

K. The Advisor and/or its affiliates may also receive compensation from the
Trust for (i) its or their services as a property manager and/or leasing agent
for property owned by the Trust, or (ii) such other services as, in the opinion
of the Trustees, are more appropriately performed by the Advisor or its
affiliates for separate compensation; provided that the terms of such agreements
have been approved by a majority of the Trustees who are independent of the
Advisor.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indemnification and Limited Liability.

 

L. The Trust will indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor, its officers,
directors and employees from and against any liabilities, claims, damages, costs
or expenses arising out of the performance by the Advisor of its duties and
services hereunder to the extent that such liabilities, claims, damages, costs
or expenses are not covered by insurance, other than those attributable to the
Advisor’s bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of the duties of the Advisor hereunder; and the Advisor will indemnify and hold
harmless the Trust, each Trustee and each shareholder individually from and
against any liabilities, claims, damages, costs or expenses incurred by reason
of acts on the part of the Advisor, its directors, officers or employees
constituting bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of the duties of the Advisor hereunder. The Advisor assumes no
responsibility under this Contract other than to render the services called for
hereunder in good faith and shall not be responsible for any action of the
Trustees in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation of the
Advisor.

 

M. Anything in this Contract to the contrary notwithstanding, the Advisor shall
not have or make any claim under, by reason of, or in connection with this
Contract against the Trustees personally or the shareholders of the Trust, but
shall look solely to the property of the Trust for the payment of any such
claim. The Advisor hereby acknowledges that it is familiar with the Declaration
of Trust of the Trust as amended and in particular the provisions thereof
relating to the non-liability of shareholders and Trustees, to which reference
is hereby made.

 

Use of Name.

 

N. The Advisor shall not in any way be limited with respect to the use of the
name “B. F. Saul” by itself or any affiliated or successor corporation or other
business entity. The Trust hereby and irrevocably assigns to the Advisor any and
all rights which at may have to consent to the use of the name “B. F. Saul” by
others and agrees to execute such instruments as are reasonably necessary to
give effect to this covenant or to effect such consent with any governmental
department or agency. Further, and in the event that the Advisor or its
successor by reorganization or merger shall cease to act as such for any reason
whatsoever, the Trustees shall, upon request of the Advisor, or its successor by
reorganization or merger, immediately eliminate from the name of the Trust the
name “B. F. Saul” or any approximation thereof. The covenant contained in the
directly preceding sentence shall survive, and shall not be affected by, the
termination of this Contract or any renewal thereof.

 

Other Transactions.

 

O. Any individual, including any director, officer, shareholder or employee of
the Advisor, may serve as a Trustee, officer, attorney, agent or employee of the
Trust and may be compensated by the Trust for his services rendered in any such
capacity. However, the Advisor shall not for its own account, knowingly,
directly or indirectly, purchase or otherwise acquire any property from, or
sell, assign, lease, or make any other transfer or other disposition to the
Trust or enter into any agreement to lend any assets or property to the Trust,
or borrow any assets or property from the Trust, nor shall any director,
officer, shareholder or employee of the Advisor or any corporation, partnership,
trust or other entity with which a director, officer, shareholder or employee of
the Advisor is affiliated by reason of being a trustee of, partner with or owner
of more than one percent (1%) equity interest therein, directly or indirectly
purchase or otherwise acquire any Property from, or sell, assign, lease or make
any other transfer or other disposition to, the Trust. Notwithstanding the
prohibitions in the next preceding sentence, the following transactions are
permitted: (1) those between the Trust and American Security Bank, N. A.,
American Security Corporation or any savings and loan company or association;
(2) those designed to accord the Trust the rights granted under subparagraph
7.B. herein; and (3) those which have been approved, as fair and reasonable to
the Trust’s shareholders, by a majority of the Trustees who are independent of
the Advisor and are not otherwise connected with the transactions in question.

 

Nothing in the foregoing part of this subparagraph 7.A. shall be deemed to
prevent the Advisor, an affiliate thereof, or any corporation or other
enterprise in which the Advisor, its directors, officers, shareholders or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

employees may have any beneficial interest, from entering into business
relationships (including joint ventures or partnerships) with corporations or
any other enterprises which may from time to time have dealings with the Trust
provided such interest is disclosed prior to any such dealings.

 

Neither the Advisor nor any director or officer of the Advisor will make or
acquire any loan secured by a mortgage or any other interest in real estate, or
make or acquire any equity or other investment in real estate, unless the Trust
is given (and, within a reasonable period, declines) an opportunity to make or
acquire such loan or investment on substantially the terms on which such loan or
investment may be made or acquired by the Advisor or any such director or
officer. The foregoing shall apply only to loans and investments made or
acquired by the Advisor, its directors and officers for its or their own account
or accounts, or for the account of any enterprise (other than a savings and loan
company or association) in which it and they have a beneficial ownership
interest aggregating forty percent (40%) or more of the outstanding equity
interest in such enterprise, but shall not apply to (1) any category of loan or
investment which the Trust does not wish for the time being to make or acquire,
as evidenced in a written notice from the Trust to the Advisor, which shall be
effective until withdrawn or changed at any time by a further notice in writing
from the Trust to the Advisor; (2) loans and investments which the Trust may not
lawfully make or acquire; or (3) loans and investments which may jeopardize the
Federal income tax status of the Trust as a qualified real estate investment
trust under the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code or the
regulations promulgated thereunder when the Trust has determined to qualify as
such.

 

P. Nothing in this Contract shall limit or restrict the right of the Advisor or
any officer or employee of the Advisor, irrespective of whether he is also a
Trustee, officer or employee of the Trust, to engage in any other business or to
render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm,
individual or association. It is specifically understood and agreed that
affiliates of the Advisor are engaged, and will continue to engage, on behalf of
themselves and as agents for others in the business of originating and servicing
mortgage loans, the development of residential, commercial and industrial
properties, and all other phases of the general real estate and mortgage banking
business.

 

Term and Termination.

 

Q. Subject to the cancellation provision in subparagraph C below, this Contract
shall be in force until September 30, 1987, and shall continue thereafter from
year to year unless cancelled by either party at the end of any contract year,
upon written notice, given at least six (6) months prior to the end of any such
contract year.

 

R. This Contract shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment by
the Advisor without the written consent of the Trust and shall not be assignable
by the Trust without the written consent of the Advisor, except in the case of
assignment by the Trust of substantially all of its operations and assets to a
corporation or other organization which is a successor to the Trust, and such
successor organization assumes the duties and obligations of Trust hereunder.

 

S. This Contract shall be terminated immediately upon written notice of
termination given by the Trust or the Advisor in the event that (a) the Advisor
shall violate any material provision of this Contract and upon written notice of
such violation, shall not cure such default within thirty (30) days or (b) the
Advisor shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent by a court of competent
jurisdiction or an order shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a receiver of the Advisor and any such adjudication or order
shall remain in force or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days.

 

T. From and after the effective date of termination of this Contract pursuant to
subparagraphs A, B or C hereof, the Advisor shall not be entitled to
compensation under paragraph 3 herein for further services but shall be entitled
to compensation for services performed for the Trust prior to the effective date
of termination. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the right of the Advisor
or its affiliates to receive compensation under the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

separate contractual agreements referred to in paragraph 4.B. herein. Upon such
termination, the Advisor shall forthwith:

 

(1) Pay over to the Trust all money collected and held for the account of the
Trust pursuant to this Contract, after deducting any accrued compensation and
reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled; and

 

(2) Deliver to the Trust a full accounting, including a statement showing all
payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the
period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Trust.

 

Other Matters

 

U. Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given
hereunder shall be in writing and, unless some other method of giving such

hereto.
