    FREIT a
security interest in all of Pledgor’s Membership Interest in the Damascus 100,
LLC, including, but not limited to, Pledgor’s and his successor’s assignee’s,
legal representative’s, heir’s and legatee’s rights to receive refinancing

(collectively, the “Collateral”).  The assignment hereunder is
intended to be and shall constitute an unconditional, absolute and present
assignment to FREIT of all of Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to the
Collateral (subject to the terms and conditions hereof).  FREIT agrees
that any proceeds from Collateral shall be applied first to the Obligations
outstanding and after payment in full of such Obligations outstanding under the
Note, the balance shall be paid to Pledgor.

    


    2.          
 The Pledgor hereby agrees that none of the following events, either alone
or together, shall affect FREIT's interest in the
Collateral:

    


    (a)           if
the terms of any liability which Pledgor may have to FREIT, arising out of the
Note or any one or more of the Obligations is amended or Lender otherwise
permits any renewals or substitutions of the Note or any of the Obligations;
or

    


    (b)           if
FREIT releases or accepts substitutions for any other collateral that may serve
as security for the Obligations.

    


    Pledgor shall also be liable to FREIT
for any guarantee for Pledgor’s pro rata share of Damascus 100, LLC’s
obligations to FREIT for any guaranty whether by way of the personal guaranty of
FREIT or through a bond a letter of credit or any other surety which FREIT is
required to make with respect to Damascus 100, LLC, all of which are deemed to
be obligations as defined in this Agreement.

    


    3.           
 Upon occurrence of a Default, as defined in the Note or this Agreement,
the Collateral and all rights arising thereunder shall be transferred and paid
over to FREIT.  Prior to a Default, Pledgor may exercise any voting
rights Pledgor may have as a Member of Damascus 100, LLC, provided any such
exercise shall not impair or diminish the Collateral or the pledge made hereby.
Additionally, FREIT may exercise any and all other rights that it has as a
secured party pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial
Code, N.J.S.A. 12A:1-101, et seq. (the “Code”)
and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement in accordance with the
terms of the Code.  FREIT does not have to exercise any rights, which
it may have

    against
Pledgor before exercising its rights against the
Collateral.  Additionally, the Pledgor agrees that if the law requires
FREIT to give notice of the sale of the Collateral or any interest therein
(which sale need not be a public sale), ten (10) days shall be sufficient
notice.

    


    4.          
 The Pledgor hereby waives the right to be treated as a “Debtor” under the
terms of Article 9 of the Code in connection with FREIT’s exercise of its
remedies, to the extent such a waiver is permitted by the Code.

    


    5.          
 The Pledgor hereby appoints FREIT as attorney in fact to arrange for the
transfer of the Collateral to FREIT upon the occurrence of a Default, as defined
in the Note.

    


    6.          
 The Pledgor represents that Pledgor’s principal residence is the address
set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement.

    


    7.         
  Any transfer or further pledge of the Collateral without the express
prior written consent of FREIT shall constitute a default under the Note and the
Obligations.

    


    8.           
The Pledgor will, at Pledgor’s expense and in such manner and form as FREIT may
require, execute, deliver, file and record any financing statement, specific
assignment or other paper, in order to create, preserve, perfect or validate any
security interest or to enable FREIT to exercise and enforce its rights
hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Pledgor hereby authorizes FREIT to execute and file, in the
name of the Pledgor financing statements which FREIT in its sole discretion may
deem necessary or appropriate to further perfect the security interests provided
for herein.  Pledgor shall also deliver to FREIT contemporaneously
herewith, the Membership certificate or certificates, if any, evidencing his
ownership in the Damascus 100, LLC, together with a duly executed stock
power.

    


    9.           
 FREIT may delay enforcement of any of its rights pursuant to the terms of
this Pledge and Security Agreement without losing such rights.

    


    10.           If
any part of this Pledge and Security Agreement is deemed by a court of law to be
invalid, such other provisions as have not been declared to be invalid shall
remain in effect.

    


    11.           This
Pledge and Security Agreement shall be governed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New Jersey without regard to conflict of law principles, and the
Pledgor does hereby agree to be subject to the jurisdiction of the Courts of the
State of New Jersey.
