officers of the Manager's partners except as provided in Sections 18 and 20
hereof.

     8. RELATIONSHIP WITH DIRECTORS. There shall be no limitation on any
shareholder, director, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Manager serving as
a Director or an officer of the Company, except that no employee of the Manager
or its Affiliates who also is a Director or officer of the Company shall receive
any compensation from the Company for serving as a Director or officer other
than for reasonable reimbursement for travel and related expenses incurred in
attending meetings of the Board; for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations of
this Section 8 shall not apply to any compensation paid by the Manager or any
Affiliate for which the Company reimbursed the Manager or Affiliate in
accordance with Section 10 hereof.

     9. FEES.

          (a) ASSET MANAGEMENT FEE. The Company shall pay to the Manager as
compensation for the services rendered to the Company hereunder an amount equal
to one


                                       10

<PAGE>

percent per annum of the Adjusted Invested Assets of the Company (the "Asset
Management Fee") calculated as set forth below. The Asset Management Fee will be
calculated monthly, beginning with the month in which the Company and the
Manager execute this Agreement, on the basis of one-twelfth of one percent of
the Adjusted Invested Assets for that month, computed as a daily average. The
Asset Management Fee shall be prorated for the number of days during the month
that the Company owns an Investment Asset. One-half of the Asset Management Fee
with respect to an Investment Asset will be paid on the first business day of
each month beginning on the first business day after the month in which the
Investment Asset was acquired or originated. The remaining one-half of the Asset
Management Fee shall be subordinated to the extent described below and shall be
payable quarterly. The subordinated Asset Management Fee for any quarter shall
be payable only if the Preferred Return has been met through the end of the
applicable quarter. Any portion of the subordinated Asset Management Fee not
paid due to the Company's failure to meet the Preferred Return shall be paid by
the Company, to the extent it is not restricted by the Two Percent/25%
Guidelines as described below, at the end of the next fiscal quarter through
which the Company has met the Preferred Return. If at the end of any fiscal
quarter, the Company's Operating Expenses exceed the Two Percent/25% Guidelines
over the immediately preceding 12 months, payment of the subordinated Asset
Management Fee will be withheld consistent with Section 13. Any part of the
Asset Management Fee that has been subordinated pursuant to this subsection (a)
shall not be deemed earned until such time as payable hereunder.

          (b) Loan Refinancing Fee. The Company shall pay to the Manager for all
qualifying loan refinancings of Properties a Loan Refinancing Fee in the amount
up to one percent of the principal amount of the refinanced loan. Any Loan
Refinancing Fee shall be due and payable upon the funding of the related loan or
as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A refinancing will qualify for
a Loan Refinancing Fee only if the refinanced loan is secured by Property and
(i) the maturity date of the refinanced loan (which must have a term of five
years or more) is less than one year from the date of the refinancing; or (ii)
the terms of the new loan represent, in the judgment of a majority of the
Independent Directors, an improvement over the terms of the refinanced loan; or
(iii) the new loan is approved by the Board, including a majority of the
Independent Directors and, in each case, the Loan Refinancing Fee is found, in
the judgment of a majority of the Independent Directors, to be in the best
interest of the Company.

          (c) Property Management Fee. No Property Management Fee shall be paid
unless approved by a majority of the Independent Directors.

          (d) Subordinated Disposition Fee. If the Manager provides a
substantial amount of services in the sale of a Property or Loan, the Manager
shall receive a fee equal to the lesser of: (i) 50% of the Competitive Real
Estate Commission and (ii) three percent of the Contract Sales Price of such
Property (the "Subordinated Disposition Fee"). The Subordinated Disposition Fee
will be paid only if Shareholders have received in the aggregate a return of
100% of Initial Investor Capital (through liquidity or Distributions) plus a
Preferred Return through the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the
date the Subordination Disposition Fee is paid. The return requirement will be
deemed satisfied if the total Distributions paid by the Company have satisfied
the Preferred Return requirement and the Market Value of the Company equals or
exceeds Adjusted Investor Capital. To the extent that Subordinated


                                       11

<PAGE>

Disposition Fees are not paid by the Company on a current basis due to the
foregoing limitation, the unpaid fees will be due and paid at such time as the
limitation has been satisfied. The Subordinated Disposition Fee may be paid in
addition to real estate commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the
total of all real estate commissions in respect of a Property paid to all
Persons by the Company and the Subordinated Disposition Fee shall not exceed an
amount equal to the lesser of: (i) six percent of the Contract Sales Price of
such Property or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission. The Manager shall
present to the Independent Directors such information as they may reasonably
request to review the level of services provided by the Manager in connection
with a disposition and the basis for the calculation of the amount of the
accrued Subordinated Disposition Fees on an annual basis. The amount of any
accrued Subordinated Disposition Fee shall be deemed conclusively established
once it has been approved by the Independent Directors, absent a subsequent
finding of error. No payment of Subordinated Disposition Fees shall be made
prior to review and approval of such information by the Independent Directors.
If this Agreement is terminated prior to such time as the Shareholders have
received (through liquidity or Distributions) a return of 100% of Initial
Investor Capital plus a Preferred Return through the date of termination of this
Agreement, an appraisal of the Properties then owned by the Company shall be
made and any unpaid Subordinated Disposition Fee on Properties sold prior to the
date of termination will be payable if the Appraised Value of the Properties
then owned by the Company plus Distributions to Shareholders prior to the date
of termination of this Agreement (through liquidity or Distributions) is equal
to or greater than 100% of Initial Investor Capital plus an amount sufficient to
pay a Preferred Return through the date of termination of this Agreement. If the
Company's Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or included for
quotation on Nasdaq and, at the time of such listing, the Manager has provided a
substantial amount of services in the sale of Property, for purposes of
determining whether the subordination conditions for the payment of the
Subordinated Disposition Fee have been satisfied, Shareholders will be deemed to
have received a Distribution in an amount equal to the Market Value of the
Company.

          (e) LOANS FROM AFFILIATES. The Company shall not borrow funds from the
Manager or its Affiliates unless (A) the transaction is approved by a majority
of the Independent Directors and a majority of the Directors who are not
interested in the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially
reasonable, (B) the interest and other financing charges or fees received by the
Manager or its Affiliates do not exceed the amount which would be charged by
non-affiliated lending institutions and (C) the terms are not less favorable
than those prevailing for comparable arm's-length loans for the same purpose.
The Company will not borrow on a long-term basis from the Manager or its
Affiliates unless it is to provide the debt portion of a particular investment
and the Company is unable to obtain a permanent loan at that time or in the
judgment of the Board, it is not in the Company's best interest to obtain a
permanent loan at the interest rates then prevailing and the Board has reason to
believe that the Company will be able to obtain a permanent loan on or prior to
the end of the loan term provided by the Manager or its Affiliates.

          (f) CHANGES TO FEE STRUCTURE. In the event the Shares are listed on a
national securities exchange or are included for quotation on Nasdaq, the
Company and the Manager shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee
structure appropriate for an entity with a perpetual life. A majority of the
Independent Directors must approve the new fee structure


                                       12

<PAGE>

negotiated with the Manager. In negotiating a new fee structure, the Independent
Directors may consider any of the factors they deem relevant, including but not
limited to: (a) the size of the Asset Management Fee in relation to the size,
composition and profitability of the Company's portfolio; (b) the rates charged
to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by Managers performing similar
services; (c) additional revenues realized by the Manager and its Affiliates
through their relationship with the Company, including loan administration,
underwriting or broker commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and other
fees, whether paid by the Company or by others with whom the Company does
business; (d) the quality and extent of service furnished by the Manager; (e)
the performance of the investment portfolio of the Company, including income,
conversion or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and
competence in dealing with distress situations and (f) the quality of the
portfolio of the Company in relationship to the portfolio of real properties
owned and managed by W.P. Carey & Co. LLC for its own account. The new fee
structure can be no more favorable to the Manager than the current fee
structure. The Independent Directors shall not approve any new fee structure
that is in their judgment more favorable (taken as a whole) to the Manager than
the current fee structure.

          (g) PAYMENT. The Company shall pay the compensation payable pursuant
to this Section 9 directly to the Manager; provided, however, that any fee
payable pursuant to Section 9 may be paid, at the option of the Manager, in the
form of: (i) cash, (ii) common stock of the Company, or (iii) a combination of
cash and common stock. The Manager shall notify the Company in writing annually
of the form in which the fee shall be paid. Such notice shall be provided no
later than December 31 of the year prior to the year to which such election
applies. If no such notice is provided, the fee shall be paid in cash. For
purposes of the payment of compensation to the Manager in the form of stock, the
value of each share of common stock shall be: (i) the Net Asset Value per Share
as determined by the most recent appraisal of the Company's assets performed by
an Independent Appraiser, or (ii) if an appraisal has not yet been performed,
$10 per share. If shares are being offered to the public at the time a fee is
paid with stock, the value shall be the price of the stock without commissions.
The Net Asset Value determined on the basis of such appraisal may be adjusted on
a quarterly basis by the Board to account for significant capital transactions.

     10. EXPENSES. To the extent applicable, in addition to the compensation
paid to the Manager pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company shall pay directly
or reimburse the Manager for the following expenses:

               (i) interest and other costs for borrowed money, including
     discounts, points and other similar fees;

               (ii) taxes and assessments on income of the Company, to the
     extent paid or advanced by the Manager, or on Property and taxes as an
     expense of doing business, in each case attributable to Properties or
     non-United States activities;

               (iii) expenses of managing and operating Properties, whether
     payable to an Affiliate of the Manager or a non-affiliated Person;


                                       13

<PAGE>

               (iv) fees and expenses of legal counsel for the Company
     attributable to Properties;

               (v) fees and expense of auditors and accountants for the Company
     attributable to Properties;

               (vi) expenses related to the Properties and other fees relating
     to disposing of investments including personnel and other costs incurred in
     transactions relating to Properties where a fee is not payable to the
     Manager; and

               (vii) all other expenses the Manager incurs in connection with
     providing services to the Company hereunder including reimbursement to the
     Manager or its Affiliates for the cost of rent, goods, materials and
     personnel incurred by them based upon the compensation of the Persons
     involved and an appropriate share of overhead allocable to those Persons as
     reasonably determined by the Manager on a basis approved annually by the
     Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors).

No reimbursement shall be made for the cost of personnel to the extent that such
personnel are used in transactions for which the Manager receives a separate
fee.

Expenses incurred by the Manager on behalf of the Company and payable pursuant
to this Section 10 shall be reimbursed quarterly to the Manager within 60 days
after the end of each quarter, subject to the provisions of Section 13 hereof.
The Manager shall prepare a statement documenting the Operating Expenses of the
Company within 45 days after the end of each quarter.

     11. OTHER SERVICES. Should the Board request that the Manager or any
partner or employee thereof render services for the Company other than as set
forth in Section 3 hereof, such services shall be separately compensated and
shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

     12. FIDELITY BOND. The Manager shall maintain a fidelity bond for the
benefit of the Company which bond shall insure the Company from losses of up to
$5,000,000 and shall be of the type customarily purchased by entities performing
services similar to those provided to the Company by the Manager.

     13. LIMITATION ON EXPENSES.

          (a) If the aggregate Operating Expenses of the Company under this
Agreement and the Advisory Agreement during the 12-month period ending on the
last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company exceed the greater of (i) two
percent of the Average Invested Assets during the same 12-month period or (ii)
25% of the Adjusted Net Income of the Company during the same 12-month period,
then subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 13, such excess amount shall be
the sole responsibility of the Manager and the Company shall not be liable for
payment therefor.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Manager
becomes responsible for any such excess amount as provided in paragraph (a), if
a majority of the


                                       14

<PAGE>

Independent Directors finds such excess amount or a portion thereof justified
based on such unusual and non-recurring factors as they deem sufficient, the
Company shall reimburse the Manager in future quarters for the full amount of
such excess, or any portion thereof, but only to the extent such reimbursement
would not cause the Company's Operating Expenses to exceed the Two Percent/25%
Guidelines in the 12-month period ending on any such quarter. In no event shall
the Operating Expenses paid by the Company in any 12-month period ending at the
end of a fiscal quarter exceed the Two Percent/25% Guidelines.

          (c) Within 60 days after the end of any twelve-month period referred
to in paragraph (a), the Manager shall reimburse the Company for any amounts
expended by the Company in such twelve-month period that exceeds the limitations
provided in paragraph (a) unless the Independent Directors determine that such
excess expenses are justified, as provided in paragraph (b), and provided the
aggregate Operating Expenses under this Agreement and the Advisory Agreement for
such later quarter would not thereby exceed the Two Percent/25% Guidelines. To
the extent the Company is reimbursed for such excess expenses by the Advisor,
the Company shall not also be entitled to reimbursement for such excess from the
Manager.

          (d) All computations made under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section
13 shall be determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.

          (e) If the Advisor receives a Subordinated Incentive Fee for the sale
of Property, Adjusted Net Income, for purposes of calculating Operating
Expenses, shall exclude the gain from the sale of such Property.

     14. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE MANAGER. Nothing herein contained shall prevent
the Manager from engaging in other activities, including without limitation
direct investment by the Manager and its Affiliates in assets that would be
suitable for the Company, the rendering of services to other investors
(including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored
or organized by the Manager or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or
restrict the right of the Manager or any of its Affiliates or of any director,
officer, employee, partner or shareholder of the Manager or its Affiliates to
engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other
partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Manager
may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also
render service to each other participant therein. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that the Manager provides
or will provide services to other "Corporate Property Associates" or CPA(R) REIT
funds, whether now in existence or formed hereafter, and that the Manager and
its Affiliates may invest for their own account. The Manager shall be
responsible for promptly reporting to the Board the existence of any actual or
potential conflict of interest that arises that may affect its performance of
its duties under this Agreement.

Neither the Manager nor any Affiliate of the Manager shall be obligated
generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company even
if the opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Company, could
be taken by the Company.

     15. RELATIONSHIP OF MANAGER AND COMPANY. The Company and the Manager agree
that they have not created and do not intend to create by this Agreement a joint
venture or


                                       15

<PAGE>

partnership relationship between them and nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to make them partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as
partners or joint venturers on either of them.

     16. TERM; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in force
until September 30, 2008 and thereafter shall be automatically renewed for
successive one year periods unless either party shall give notice in writing of
non renewal to the other party not less than 60 days before the end of any such
year.

     17. TERMINATION BY COMPANY. At the sole option the Board (including a
majority of the Independent Directors), this Agreement may be terminated
immediately by written notice of termination from the Company to the Manager
upon the occurrence of events which would constitute Cause or if any of the
following events occur:

          (a) If the Manager 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, liquidator, or
     trustee of the Manager, for all or substantially all of its property by
     reason of the foregoing, or if a court of competent jurisdiction approves
     any petition filed against the Manager for reorganization, and such
     adjudication or order shall remain in force or unstayed for a period of 30
     days; or

          (b) If the Manager shall institute proceedings for voluntary
     bankruptcy or shall file a petition seeking reorganization under the
     federal bankruptcy laws, or for relief under any law for relief of debtors,
     or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver for itself or for all or
     substantially all of its property, or shall make a general assignment for
     the benefit of its creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to
     pay its debts, generally, as they become due.

          Any notice of termination under Section 16 or 17 shall be effective on
the date specified in such notice, which may be the day on which such notice is
given or any date thereafter. The Manager agrees that if any of the events
specified in Section 17(a) or (b) shall occur, it shall give written notice
thereof to the Board within 15 days after the occurrence of such event.

     18. TERMINATION BY EITHER PARTY. This Agreement may be terminated
immediately without penalty (but subject to the requirements of Section 20
hereof) by the Advisor by written notice of termination to the Company upon the
occurrence of events which would constitute Good Reason or by the Company
without cause or penalty (but subject to the requirements of Section 20 hereof)
by action of a majority of the Independent Directors or by action of a majority
of the Shareholders, in either case upon 60 days' written notice.

     19. ASSIGNMENT PROHIBITION. This Agreement may not be assigned by the
Manager without the approval of the Board (including a majority of the
Independent Directors); provided, however, that such approval shall not be
required in the case of an assignment to a corporation, partnership,
association, trust or organization which may take over the assets and carry on
the affairs of the Manager, provided: (i) that at the time of such assignment,
such successor organization shall be owned substantially by an entity directly
or indirectly controlled by the


                                       16

<PAGE>

Sponsor and only if such entity has a net worth of at least $5,000,000, and (ii)
that the board of directors of the Manager shall deliver to the Board a
statement in writing indicating the ownership structure and net worth of the
successor organization and a certification from the new Manager as to its net
worth. Such an assignment shall bind the assignees hereunder in the same manner
as the Manager is bound by this Agreement. The Manager may assign any rights to
receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining the
approval of the Board. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company
without the consent of the Manager, except in the case of an assignment by the
Company to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to the
Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and
by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound by
this Agreement.

     20. PAYMENTS TO AND DUTIES OF MANAGER UPON TERMINATION.

          (a) After the Termination Date, the Manager shall not be entitled to
compensation for further services hereunder but shall be entitled to receive
from the Company the following:

               (i) all unpaid reimbursements of Operating Expenses payable to
     the Manager;

               (ii) all earned but unpaid Asset Management Fees payable to the
     Manager prior to the Termination Date;

               (iii) all earned but unpaid Subordinated Disposition Fees payable
     to the Advisor relating to the sale of any Property prior to the
     Termination Date; and

               (iv) all earned but unpaid Loan Refinancing Fees.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated by the Company
for Cause, or by the Manager for other than Good Reason, the Manager will not be
entitled to receive the sums in Section 18(a) above.

          (b) Any and all amounts payable to the Advisor pursuant to Section
20(a) and Section 20(c) that, irrespective of the termination, were payable on a
current basis prior to the Termination Date either because they were not
subordinated or all conditions to their payment had been satisfied, shall be
paid within 90 days after the Termination Date. All other amounts payable to the
Advisor pursuant to Section 20(a) and Section 20(c) shall be paid in a manner
determined by the Board, but in no event on terms less favorable to the Advisor
than those represented by a note (i) maturing upon the liquidation of the
Company or three years from the Termination Date, whichever is earlier, (ii)
with no less than twelve equal quarterly installments and (iii) bearing a fair,
competitive and commercially reasonable interest rate (the "Note"). The Note, if
any, may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with accrued
interest to the date of payment but without premium or penalty. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any amounts that relate to Investment Assets (i) shall be an
amount which provides compensation to the Advisor only for that portion of the
holding period for the respective Investment Assets during which the Advisor
provided services to the Company, (ii) shall not be due and payable until the
Investment Asset to which such amount relates is sold or refinanced, and (iii)
shall not


                                       17

<PAGE>

bear interest until the Investment Asset to which such amount relates is sold or
refinanced. A portion of the amount shall be paid as each Investment Asset owned
by the Company on the Termination Date is sold. The portion of such amount
payable upon each such sale shall be equal to (i) such amount multiplied by (ii)
the percentage calculated by dividing the fair value (at the Termination Date)
of the Investment Asset sold by the Company divided by the total fair value (at
the Termination Date) of all Investment Assets owned by the Company on the
Termination Date.

          (c) The Manager shall promptly upon termination:

               (i) pay over to the Company all money collected and held for the
     account of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any
     accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then
     entitled;

               (ii) deliver to the Board 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 Board;

               (iii) deliver to the Board all assets, including Properties, and
     documents of the Company then in the custody of the Manager; and

               (iv) cooperate with the Company to provide an orderly management
     transition.

     21. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY.

          (a) The Company shall not indemnify the Manager or any of its
Affiliates for any loss or liability suffered by the Manager or the Affiliate,
or hold the Manager or the Affiliate harmless for any loss or liability suffered
by the Company, unless all of the following conditions are met:

               (i) The Manager or Affiliate has determined, in good faith, that
     the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best
     interests of the Company;

               (ii) The Manager or the Affiliate was acting on behalf of or
     performing services for the Company; and

               (iii) Such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or
     misconduct by the Manager or the Affiliate.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager and its Affiliates
shall not be indemnified by the Company for any losses, liabilities or expenses
arising from or out of the alleged violation of federal or state securities laws
unless one or more of the following conditions are met:

               (i) There has been a successful adjudication on the merits of
     each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular
     indemnitee;


                                       18

<PAGE>

               (ii) Such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits
     by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or

               (iii) A court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of
     the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification
     of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court
     considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the
     position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published
     position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities
     of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violation of
     securities laws.

          (c) The Company shall advance funds to the Manager or its Affiliates
for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for
which indemnification is being sought only if all of the following conditions
are satisfied:

               (i) The legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to
     the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company;

               (ii) The legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a
     Shareholder or the legal action is initiated by a Shareholder acting in his
     or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically
     approves such advancement; and

               (iii) The Manager or the Affiliate undertakes to repay the
     advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of
     interest thereon, in cases in which such Manager or Affiliate is found not
     to be entitled to indemnification.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager shall not be entitled
to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to this Section 19 for any
activity which the Manager shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the
Company pursuant to Section 20.

          (e) Any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 19 shall be recoverable
or paid only out the net assets of the Company and not from Shareholders.

     22. INDEMNIFICATION BY MANAGER. The Manager shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Company from 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 Manager's bad faith, fraud,
willful misfeasance, misconduct, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties.

     23. NOTICES. Any notice, report or other communication required or
permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of
giving such notice, report or other communication is accepted by the party to
whom it is given, and shall be given by being delivered by hand or by overnight
mail or other overnight delivery service to the addresses set forth herein:

     24. MODIFICATION. This Agreement shall not be changed, modified,
terminated, or discharged, in whole or in part, except by an instrument in
writing signed by both parties hereto, or their respective successors or
assignees.

     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.

enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

     27. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and
understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings,
inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature
whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof. The express terms hereof
control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade
inconsistent with any of the terms hereof. This Agreement may not be modified or
amended other than by an agreement in writing.

     28. 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. No waiver shall be effective unless it is
in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

     30. TITLES NOT TO AFFECT INTERPRETATION. The titles of Sections and
subsections contained in this Agreement are for convenience only, and they
neither form a part of this Agreement nor are they to be used in the
construction or interpretation hereof.

     31. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any
party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together
constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when
one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the
signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories.

     32. NAME. W.P. Carey & Co. LLC has a proprietary interest in the name
"Corporate Property Associates" and "CPA(R)." Accordingly, and in recognition of
this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain W.P. Carey & Co. B.V.,
or an Affiliate thereof to perform the services of Manager, the Company will,
promptly after receipt of written request from W.P. Carey & Co. B.V., cease to
conduct business under or use the name "Corporate Property Associates" or
"CPA(R)" or any diminutive thereof and the Company shall use its best efforts to
change the name of the Company to a name that does not contain the name
"Corporate Property Associates" or "CPA(R)" or any other word or words that
might, in the sole discretion of the Manager, be susceptible of indication of
some form of relationship between the Company and the Manager or any Affiliate
thereof. Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the
Manager 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 "Corporate Property Associates" or "CPA(R)" as a part of
their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to
object thereto) by the Company or its Directors.
