     opportunities; (2) structure the terms and conditions of transactions
     pursuant to which investments will be made or acquired for the Company; (3)
     acquire Property, make or acquire Loans and make or acquire Other Permitted
     Investment Assets in compliance with the investment objectives and policies
     of the Company; (4) arrange for financing or refinancing, or make changes
     in the asset or capital structure of, and dispose of or otherwise deal
     with, Investment Assets; (5) enter into leases and service contracts for
     Properties, and perform other property level operations; (6) oversee
     non-affiliated property managers and other non-affiliated Persons who
     perform services for the Company; and (7) undertake accounting and other
     record-keeping functions at the Investment Asset level.

          (b) The consideration paid for an Investment acquired by the Company
     shall ordinarily be based on the fair market value thereof. Consistent with
     the foregoing provision, the Advisor may, without further approval by the
     Board (except with respect to transactions subject to paragraphs (c) and
     (d)) invest on behalf of the Company in an Investment Asset so long as, in
     the Advisor's good faith judgment, (i) the Total Property Cost of such
     Investment Asset does not exceed the fair market value thereof, and in the
     case of an Investment Asset that is a Property, shall in no event exceed
     the Appraised Value of such Property and (ii) the Investment Asset, in
     conjunction with the Company's other investments and proposed investments,
     at the time the Company is committed to purchase or originate the
     Investment Asset, is reasonably expected to fulfill the Company's
     investment objectives and policies as established by the Board and then in
     effect. For purposes of the foregoing, Total Property Cost shall be
     measured at the date the Investment Asset is acquired and shall exclude
     future commitments to fund improvements. Investments not meeting the
     foregoing criteria must be approved in advance by the Board.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
     Agreement, the Advisor shall not cause the Company to make investments that
     do not comply with Article VIII (Restrictions on Investments and
     Activities) and related sections of the Bylaws.

          (d) The prior approval of the Board, including a majority of the
     Independent Directors and a majority of the Directors not interested in the
     transaction, will be required for: (i) investments in Properties made
     through co-investment or joint venture arrangements with the Sponsor, the
     Advisor or any of their Affiliates; (ii) investments in Investment Assets
     which are not contemplated by the terms of a Prospectus; (iii) transactions
     that present issues which involve conflicts of interest for the Advisor or
     an Affiliate (other than conflicts involving the payment of fees or the
     reimbursement of expenses); (iv) the lease of assets to the Sponsor, any
     Director, the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor; (v) any purchase or
     sale of an Investment Asset from or to the Advisor or an Affiliate; and
     (vi) the retention of any Affiliate of the Advisor to provide services to
     the Company not expressly contemplated by this Agreement and the terms of
     such services by such Affiliate. In addition, the Advisor shall comply with
     any further approval requirements set forth in the Bylaws.


                                       10

          (e) The Board may, at any time upon the giving of notice to the
     Advisor, modify or revoke the authority set forth in this Section 4. If and
     to the extent the Board so modifies or revokes the authority contained
     herein, the Advisor shall henceforth comply with such modification or
     revocation, provided however, that such modification or revocation shall be
     effective upon receipt by the Advisor and shall not be applicable to
     investment transactions to which the Advisor has committed the Company
     prior to the date of receipt by the Advisor of such notification.

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

     6. Records; Access. The 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 the Company, at any time
or from time to time during normal business hours. The Advisor shall at all
reasonable times have access to the books and records of the Company.

     7. Limitations on Activities. Anything else in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action
which, in its sole judgment made in good faith, would adversely affect the
status of the Company as a REIT, subject the Company to regulation under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, would violate any law, rule, regulation or
statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over
the Company, its Shares or its Securities, or otherwise not be permitted by the
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, except if such action shall be ordered by
the Board, in which case the Advisor shall notify promptly the Board of the
Advisor's judgment of the potential impact of such action and shall refrain from
taking such action until it receives further clarification or instructions from
the Board. In such event the Advisor shall have no liability for acting in
accordance with the specific instructions of the Board so given. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Advisor, its shareholders, directors, officers and employees,
and partners, shareholders, directors and officers of the Advisor's shareholders
and Affiliates of any of them, shall not be liable to the Company, or to the
Directors or Shareholders for any act or omission by the Advisor, its
shareholders, directors, officers and employees, or partners, shareholders,
directors or officers of the Advisor's shareholders except as provided in
Sections 20 and 22 hereof.

     8. Relationship with Directors. There shall be no limitation on any
shareholder, director, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Advisor serving as
a Director or an officer of the Company, except that no employee of the Advisor
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 Advisor or any
Affiliate for which the Company reimbursed the Advisor or Affiliate in
accordance with Section 10 hereof.

     9. Fees.

          (a) Asset Management Fee. The Company shall pay to the Advisor as
     compensation for the advisory services rendered to the Company hereunder an
     amount equal to one 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


                                       11

<PAGE>

     with the month in which the Company first makes an investment in Investment
     Assets, 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 2%/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 2%/25% Guidelines over the immediately preceding 12 months,
     payment of the subordinated Asset Management Fee will be withheld
     consistent with Section 13. For purposes of calculating the value per share
     of restricted stock given for payment of the Asset Management Fee, the
     price per share shall be: (i) the net asset value per share as determined
     by the most recent appraisal performed by an independent third party at the
     time such Asset Management Fee was earned or, if an appraisal has not yet
     been made and accepted by the Company, (ii) $10 per share. 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) Acquisition Fee. The Advisor may receive as compensation in
     connection with the investigation, selection, acquisition or origination
     (by purchase, investment or exchange) of any Property or Loan, an
     Acquisition Fee payable by the Company at the time such Property or Loan is
     acquired or originated. The total such Acquisition Fees (not including
     Subordinated Acquisition Fees and any interest thereon) payable to the
     Advisor may not exceed two-and-one-half percent of the aggregate Total
     Property Cost of all Properties and Loans acquired or originated by the
     Company, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph 9(d).

          (c) Subordinated Acquisition Fee. In addition to the Acquisition Fee
     described in Section 9(b) above, the Advisor may receive as compensation in
     connection with the investigation, selection, acquisition or origination
     (by purchase, investment or exchange) of Properties and Loans a
     Subordinated Acquisition Fee payable by the Company to the Advisor or its
     Affiliates (the "Subordinated Acquisition Fee"). The total Subordinated
     Acquisition Fees paid may not exceed two percent of the aggregate Total
     Property Cost of all Properties and Loans purchased and originated by the
     Company, measured at such time as the Company shall have completed all
     Offerings (other than pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan) and
     invested substantially all of the net proceeds of such Offerings, unless a
     majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent
     Directors) not otherwise interested in any transaction approves the excess
     as being commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company. The
     unpaid portion of the Subordinated Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor
     and its Affiliates with respect to any Property or Loan shall bear interest
     at the rate of six percent per annum from the date of acquisition of such
     Property or Loan until such portion is paid. Subject to the following
     sentence, the Subordinated Acquisition Fee with respect to any Investment
     Asset shall be payable in equal annual installments on January 1 of each of
     the four calendar years following the first anniversary of the date such
     Asset was purchased; accrued interest on all unpaid Subordinated
     Acquisition Fees shall also be payable on such dates. The portion of the
     Subordinated Acquisition Fees, and accrued interest thereon, otherwise
     payable on any January 1 shall be payable only if the Preferred Return
     through the end of the fiscal year preceding such January 1 has been met.
     Any portion of the Subordinated Acquisition Fees, and accrued interest
     thereon,


                                       12

<PAGE>

     not paid due to the Company's failure to meet the Preferred Return through
     any fiscal year end shall be paid by the Company on the January 1 following
     the first fiscal year thereafter through which the Preferred Return has
     been met.

          (d) Six Percent Limitation. The total amount of Acquisition Fees
     (including Subordinated Acquisition Fees and any interest thereon), whether
     payable to the Advisor or a third party, and Acquisition Expenses may not
     exceed six percent of the sum of the aggregate Contract Purchase Price of
     all Properties and Loans, measured cumulatively for the period beginning
     with the initial acquisition of a Property or Loan by the Company and
     ending on each December 31 after the date hereof, unless a majority of the
     Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise
     interested in any transaction approves the excess as being commercially
     competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company.

          (e) Loan Refinancing Fee. The Company shall pay to the Advisor 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.

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

          (g) Subordinated Disposition Fee. If the Advisor or an Affiliate
     provides a substantial amount of services in the sale of a Property or
     Loan, the Advisor or such Affiliate 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 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 Advisor shall present to the
     Independent Directors such information as they may reasonably request to
     review the level of services provided by the Advisor 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


                                       13

<PAGE>

     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 Advisor or an Affiliate 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.

          (h) Other Permitted Investment Assets Fee. The Advisor may receive as
     compensation for services rendered in connection with the investigation,
     selection, acquisition or origination of Other Permitted Investments a fee
     (the "Other Permitted Investment Assets Fee") that shall be negotiated in
     good faith by the Advisor and the Company and approved by the Board
     (including a majority of the Independent Directors) on a case by case
     basis; provided that such compensation shall be on terms not more
     favorable, taken as a whole, than what the Advisor receives in respect of
     investments in Properties and Loans.

          (i) Subordinated Incentive Fee. A fee shall be payable to the Advisor
     in an amount equal to 15% of Cash from Sales distributable to Shareholders
     after Shareholders have received a return of 100% of Initial Investor
     Capital (through liquidity or Distributions) plus a Preferred Return
     through the date payment is made (the "Subordinated Incentive Fee"). For
     these purposes the Shareholders will be deemed to have been provided
     liquidity if the Shares are listed on a national security exchange or
     included for quotation on Nasdaq. The return requirement will be deemed
     satisfied if the total Distributions paid by the Company has satisfied the
     Preferred Return requirement and the Market Value of the Company equals or
     exceeds Adjusted Investor Capital. The Company shall have the option to pay
     such fee in the form of a promissory note or as set forth in Section 9(l).
     The promissory note shall be fully amortizing over five years, provide for
     quarterly payments and bear interest at the prime rate announced from time
     to time in The Wall Street Journal.

          (j) Loans From Affiliates. The Company shall not borrow funds from the
     Advisor 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 Advisor 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 Advisor 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 Advisor or its Affiliates.

          (k) 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 Advisor shall


                                       14

<PAGE>

     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 negotiated with the Advisor. 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 Advisory Fee in relation to the size, composition and profitability of
     the Company's portfolio; (b) the success of the Advisor in generating
     opportunities that meet the investment objectives of the Company; (c) the
     rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by Advisors
     performing similar services; (d) additional revenues realized by the
     Advisor 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; (e) the quality
     and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor; (f) 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 (g) the quality of the
     portfolio of the Company in relationship to the investments generated by
     the Advisor for its own account. The new fee structure can be no more
     favorable to the Advisor 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 Advisor than the current fee
     structure.

          (l) Payment. Compensation payable to the Advisor pursuant to this
     Section 9 shall be paid in cash; provided, however, that any fee payable
     pursuant to Section 9 may be paid, at the option of the Advisor, in the
     form of: (i) cash, (ii) common stock of the Company, or (iii) a combination
     of cash and common stock. The Advisor 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 January 15 of each year. If no such notice is
     provided, the fee shall be paid in cash. For purposes of the payment of
     compensation to the Advisor 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. Stock issued by the Company to the
     Advisor in payment of fees hereunder shall be governed by the terms set
     forth in Schedule A hereto, or such other terms as the Advisor and the
     Company may from time to time agree.

     10. Expenses.

          (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9(d), to the
     extent applicable, in addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor
     pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company shall pay directly or reimburse
     the Advisor for the following expenses:

               (i) the Company's Organization and Offering Expenses; provided
          however, that within 60 days after the end of the month in which any
          Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company for any
          Organization and Offering Expense reimbursements received by the
          Advisor pursuant to this Section 10 to the extent that such
          reimbursements, when added to the balance of the Organization and
          Offering Expenses (excluding selling commissions, and fees paid and
          expenses reimbursed to the Selected Dealers) paid directly by the
          Company, exceed four percent of the Gross Offering Proceeds; provided
          further, however, that the Advisor shall be responsible for the
          payment of all Organization and Offering Expenses (excluding such
          commissions and


                                       15

<PAGE>

          such fees and expense reimbursements) in excess of four percent of the
          Gross Offering Proceeds;

               (ii) all Acquisition Expenses;

               (iii) to the extent not otherwise included in Acquisition
          Expenses, all expenses of whatever nature directly connected with the
          proposed acquisition of any Investment that does not result in the
          actual acquisition of the Investment, including, without limitation,
          personnel costs;

               (iv) expenses other than Acquisition Expenses incurred in
          connection with the investment of the funds of the Company, including,
          without limitation, costs of retaining industry or economic
          consultants and finder's fees and similar payments, to the extent not
          paid by the seller of the Investment or another third party,
          regardless of whether such expenses were incurred in transactions
          where a fee is not payable to the Advisor;

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

               (vi) taxes and assessments on income of the Company, to the
          extent paid or advanced by the Advisor, or on Property and taxes as an
          expense of doing business;

               (vii) costs associated with insurance required in connection with
          the business of the Company or by the Directors;

               (viii) expenses of managing and operating Properties owned by the
          Company, whether payable to an Affiliate of the Advisor or a
          non-affiliated Person;

               (ix) fees and expenses of legal counsel for the Company;

               (x) fees and expense of auditors and accountants for the Company;

               (xi) all expenses in connection with payments to the Directors
          and meetings of the Directors and Shareholders;

               (xii) expenses associated with listing the Shares and Securities
          on a securities exchange or Nasdaq if requested by the Board;

               (xiii) expenses connected with payments of Distributions in cash
          or otherwise made or caused to be made by the Board to the
          Shareholders;

               (xiv) expenses of organizing, revising, amending, converting,
          modifying, or terminating the Company or the Articles of
          Incorporation;

               (xv) expenses of maintaining communications with Shareholders,
          including the cost of preparation, printing and mailing annual reports
          and other Shareholder reports, proxy statements and other reports

               (xvi) expenses related to the Properties and Loans and other fees
          relating to making investments including personnel and other costs

          transactions where a fee is not payable to the Advisor other than as
          provided in Section 10(b) hereof; and

               (xvii) all other expenses the Advisor incurs in connection with
          providing services to the Company, including reimbursement to the
          Advisor 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 Advisor 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 Advisor receives a separate fee.

          (b) Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and
     payable pursuant to this Section 10 shall be reimbursed quarterly to the
     Advisor within 60 days after the end of each quarter, subject to the
     provisions of Section 13 hereof. The Advisor 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 Advisor or any
shareholder 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 Advisor 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 Advisor.

     13. Limitation on Expenses.

          (a) If Operating Expenses of the Company 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
     Advisor and the Company shall not be liable for payment therefor.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Advisor
     becomes responsible for any such excess amount as provided in paragraph
     (a), if a majority of the 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 Advisor 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 2%/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 2%/25% Guidelines.

          (c) Within 60 days after the end of any twelve~month period referred
     to in paragraph (a), the Advisor 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


                                       17

<PAGE>

     paragraph (b), and provided the Operating Expenses for such later quarter
     would not thereby exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines.

          (d) To the extent Organization and Offering Expenses payable by the
     Company exceed 15% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, the excess will be paid
     by the Advisor.

          (e) All computations made under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section
     13 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles applied on a consistent basis.

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

     14. Other Activities of the Advisor. Nothing herein contained shall prevent
the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including without limitation
direct investment by the Advisor and its Affiliates in assets that would be
suitable for the Company, the rendering of advice to other investors (including
other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or
organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or
restrict the right of the Advisor or any of its Affiliates or of any director,
officer, employee or shareholder of the Advisor 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 Advisor may, with
respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render
advice and service to each other participant therein. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that the Advisor provides
or will provide services to other CPA REIT funds, whether now in existence or
formed hereafter, and that the Advisor and its Affiliates may invest for their
own account. The Advisor 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. If the
Sponsor, Advisor, Director or Affiliates thereof has or have sponsored other
investment programs with similar investment objectives which have investment
funds available at the same time as the Company, it shall be the duty of the
Advisor to adopt a reasonable method by which properties are to be allocated to
the competing investment entities and to use its best efforts to apply such
method fairly to the Company.

     The Advisor shall be required to use its best efforts to present a
continuing and suitable investment program to the Company that is consistent
with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but subject to the
last sentence of the preceding paragraph, neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate
of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment
opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of character which, if
presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company.

     If the Advisor or its Affiliates is presented with a potential investment
which might be made by the Company and by another investment entity which the
Advisor or its Affiliates advises or manages, the Advisor shall consider, among
other things, 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, the amount of equity required
to make the investment and the length of time such funds have been available for
investment.

     15. Relationship of Advisor and Company. The Company and the Advisor agree
that they have not created and do not intend to create by this Agreement a joint
venture or partnership relationship


                                       18

<PAGE>

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, as amended and
restated, 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 Advisor
upon the occurrence of events which would constitute Cause or if any of the
following events occur:

          (a) If the Advisor shall breach this Agreement; provided that such
     breach (i) is of a material term or condition of this Agreement and (ii)
     the Advisor has not cured such breach within 30 days of written notice
     thereof or, in the case of any breach that cannot be cured within 30 days
     by reasonable effort, has not taken all necessary action within a
     reasonable time period to cure such breach;

          (b) If 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, liquidator, or
     trustee of the Advisor, 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 Advisor for reorganization, and such
     adjudication or order shall remain in force or unstayed for a period of 30
     days; or

          (c) If the Advisor 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 Advisor agrees that if any of the events
specified in Section 17(b) or (c) 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
Advisor 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 Advisor, 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 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 Advisor
shall deliver to the Board a statement in


                                       19

<PAGE>

writing indicating the ownership structure and net worth of the successor
organization and a certification from the new Advisor as to its net worth. Such
an assignment shall bind the assignees hereunder in the same manner as the
Advisor is bound by this Agreement. The Advisor 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 Advisor, 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 Advisor Upon Termination.

          (a) After the Termination Date, the Advisor 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 Organization and Offering
          Expenses and of Operating Expenses payable to the Advisor;

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

               (iii) all earned but unpaid Subordinated Acquisition Fees and
          interest thereon, in each case payable to the Advisor relating to the
          acquisition of any Property prior to the Termination Date;

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

               (v) all earned but unpaid Loan Refinancing Fees payable to the
          Advisor relating to the financing or refinancing of any Property prior
          to the Termination Date; and

               (vi) all earned but unpaid Property Management Fees payable to
          the Advisor or its Affiliates relating to the management of any
          property prior to the termination of this Agreement.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated by
     the Company for Cause, or by the Advisor for other than Good Reason, the
     Advisor will not be entitled to receive the sums in Section 20(a) above.

          (c) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company for any reason
     other than Cause, by either party in connection with a Change of Control,
     or by the Advisor for Good Reason, the Advisor shall be entitled to payment
     of the Termination Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor shall
     not be entitled to payment of the Termination Fee if:

               (i) this Agreement is terminated because of failure of the
          Company and the Advisor to establish, following good-faith
          negotiations pursuant to Section 9(k) hereof, a fee structure
          appropriate for an entity with a perpetual life in the event the
          Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or are included
          for quotation on Nasdaq, or

               (ii) the Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid to the Advisor as a
          result of the listing of the Shares on a national securities exchange
          or their inclusion for quotation on Nasdaq and this Agreement is
          terminated after such listing or inclusion.


                                       20

<PAGE>

          (d) 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 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.

          (e) The Advisor 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
          Loans, and documents of the Company then in the custody of the
          Advisor; and

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

     21. Indemnification by the Company.

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

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


                                       21

<PAGE>

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

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor 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;

               (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 Advisor 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 Advisor 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 Advisor or Affiliate is
          found not to be entitled to indemnification.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor shall not be entitled
     to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to this Section 21 for any
     activity which the Advisor shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless
     the Company pursuant to Section 22.

          (e) Any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 21 shall be recoverable
     or paid only out the net assets of the Company and not from Shareholders.

     22. Indemnification by Advisor. The Advisor 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 Advisor'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


                                       22

<PAGE>

communication is accepted by the party to whom it is given, and shall be given

     Either party may at any time give notice in writing to the other party of a
change in its address for the purposes of this Section 23.

     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.

     26. Construction. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and
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.

     29. Gender. Words used herein regardless of the number and gender
specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other number,
singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, as 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


                                       23

<PAGE>

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 Carey Asset Management
Corp., or an Affiliate thereof to perform the services of Advisor, the Company
will, promptly after receipt of written request from Carey Asset Management
Corp., 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 Advisor, be susceptible of indication
of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any
Affiliate thereof. Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized
that the 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 "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.

     33. Initial Investment. The Advisor has contributed to the Company $200,000
in exchange for 20,000 Shares (the "Initial Investment"). The Advisor or its
Affiliates may not sell any of the Shares purchased with the Initial Investment
during the term of this Agreement. The restrictions included above shall not
continue to apply to any Shares other than the Share acquired through the
Initial Investment acquired by the Advisor or its Affiliates. The Advisor shall
not vote any Shares it now owns or hereafter acquires in any vote for the
election of Directors or any vote regarding the approval or termination of any
contract with the Advisor or any of its Affiliates.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Advisory
Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

                                   SCHEDULE A

     This Schedule sets forth the terms governing any Shares issued by the
Company to the Advisor in payment of advisory fees set forth in the Agreement.

     1. Restrictions. The Shares are subject to vesting over a five-year period.
The Shares shall vest ratably over a five-year period with 20% of the Shares
paid in each payment vesting on each of the first through fifth anniversary of
the date hereof. Prior to the vesting of the ownership of the Shares in the
Advisor, the Shares may not be transferred by the Advisor.

     2. Immediate Vesting. Upon the expiration of the Agreement for any reason
other than a termination for Cause under paragraph 17 or upon a "Change of
Control" of CPA(R):15 (as defined below), all Shares granted to the Advisor
hereunder shall vest immediately and all restrictions shall lapse. For purposes
of this Schedule A, a "Change of Control" of the Company shall be deemed to have
occurred if there has been a change in the ownership of the Company of a nature
that would be required to be reported in response to the disclosure requirements
of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as enacted and in force on the date
hereof, whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting
requirements; provided, however, that, without limitation, a Change of Control
shall be deemed to have occurred if:

          (i) any "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of
     the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any
     trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any
     employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries), together
     with all "affiliates" and "associates" (as such terms are defined in Rule
     14b-2 under the Exchange Act) of such person, shall become the "beneficial
     owner" (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act),
     directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 25% or
     more of either (A) the combined voting power of the Company's then
     outstanding securities having the right to vote in an election of the Board
     ("Voting Securities") or (B) the then outstanding common stock of the
     Company (in either such case other than as a result of acquisition of
     securities directly from the Company);

          (ii) persons who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the
     "Incumbent Directors") cease for any reason, including without limitation,
     as a result of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar
     transaction, to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that
     any person becoming a director of the Company subsequent to the date hereof
     whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at
     least a majority of the Incumbent Directors shall be considered an
     Incumbent Director; or

          (iii) the stockholders of the Company shall approve (A) any
     consolidation or merger of the Company or any subsidiary where the
     stockholders of the Company, immediately prior to the consolidation or
     merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger,
     beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
     Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate 50% or
     more of the voting equity of the entity issuing cash or securities in the
     consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent entity, if any), (B) any
     sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of
     transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all
     or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (C) any plan or
     proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, a "Change of Control" shall not be deemed to
have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i) solely as the result of
an acquisition of securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of
Shares of Common Stock outstanding, increases (A) the proportionate


                                       A-1

number of Shares beneficially owned by any person to 25% or more of the Shares
then outstanding, or (B) the proportionate voting power represented by the
Shares beneficially owned by any person to 25% or more of the combined voting
power of all then outstanding voting Securities; provided, however, that if any
person referred to in clause (A) or (B) of this sentence shall thereafter become
the beneficial owner of any additional Shares or other Voting Securities (other
than pursuant to a Share split, Share dividend, or similar transaction), then a
"Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the
foregoing clause (i).

     3. Exception. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Shares shall continue to vest according to the vesting schedule in
Section 1 regardless of: (a) the expiration of the Advisory Agreement for any
reason other than a termination by the Company for Cause or a resignation by the
Advisor for other than Good Reason, (b) the merger of the Company and an
Affiliate of the Company or (c) any "Change of Control" of the Company in
connection with a merger with an Affiliate of the Company.
