(a)      
     Interest on this Note shall be charged at a per
annum rate (the “LIBOR
Rate”), equal to two hundred twenty-five (225) basis points in excess of
“LIBOR” (as
defined below), for the corresponding “LIBOR Interest

    For the purposes hereof, any interest period to which a
LIBOR Rate applies is referred to as a “LIBOR Interest
Period”, and the loan, or any part thereof, when bearing a LIBOR Rate, is
referred to herein as a A
LIBOR
Loan.





(ii)       
    The term "LIBOR" or
“LIBOR
Rate” shall mean, as applicable to any LIBOR Loan, the rate per annum as
determined on the basis of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars, for a
period of time comparable to such LIBOR Loan as reported in the Wall Street Journal on the
business day closest to the day prior to the reset date.





(c)            LIBOR
shall be adjusted each November 1, February 1, May 1 and August 1 during the
term of this Note  (such day being referred to herein as a “Reset
Date”) (but if any day is not a Business Day, then the first succeeding
day that is a Business Day shall instead apply.





(d)        
   The Borrower shall have the right to repay Loan without
penalty.





(e)       
    In the event Borrower's employment by Hekemian &

90 days of demand therefor by FREIT.





1.        
    The Borrower shall pay to FREIT interest upon any unpaid
balance on this Note, which interest shall be due and payable to FREIT on
November 1, February 1, May 1, and August 1 during the term in arrears, on the
outstanding principal balance, commencing on November 1, February 1, May 1, and
August 1 during the term of the month.  Interest will be charged on
all sums due to FREIT even after a default or judgment.  Each payment
made to FREIT, when paid, shall be applied first to the payment of all interest,
charges and fees accrued and unpaid, and the balance thereof to payment on
account of principal.  Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a
365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.  Notwithstanding
anything hereinabove to the contrary, the first interest payment under this note
shall be due and payable on February 1, 2007.  Pursuant to the Pledge
and Security Agreement entered into between Borrower and FREIT, all refinancing
proceeds, distributions, and other cash flow paid to FREIT as assignee of

accrued and unpaid interest, charges and fees, and then to any outstanding
principal.

2.             On
the Maturity Date there shall be due and payable all unpaid principal together
with all accrued and unpaid interest, charges, and fees and all other sums
computed in accordance with this Note or otherwise payable pursuant to the Loan
Documents.  If the Maturity Date is not a business day, this final
payment shall be due and payable on the preceding business day.





3.          
   In the event any payment of interest or principal is received
by FREIT more than ten (10) days after the date due, the Borrower shall, to the
extent permitted by law, pay FREIT a late charge of five (5%) percent of the
overdue payment.





4.          
  To the extent permitted by law, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, as defined herein the rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance
shall, at the option of FREIT be five  (5%) percent in excess of the
rate of interest provided herein (the "Default
Rate").  The Borrower acknowledges that:  (i) such
additional rate is a material inducement to FREIT to make the loan; (ii) FREIT
would not make the loan in the absence of the agreement of the Borrower to pay
such additional rate; (iii) such additional rate represents compensation for
increased risk to FREIT that the loan will not be repaid; and (iv) such rate is
not a penalty and represents a reasonable estimate of (a) the cost to FREIT in
allocating its resources (both personnel and financial) to the ongoing review,
monitoring, administration and collection of the loan and (b) compensation to
FREIT for losses that are difficult to ascertain.





5.            
 Any one or more of the following shall constitute an event of default
under this Note (each an “Event of
Default”” and collectively “Events of
Default”“):





(a)         
        If default shall be made in the payment of any amount payable
      under this Note when and as the same shall become due and
      payable.





(b)        
         If an Event of Default as defined in the Pledge and
      Security Agreement hereinafter defined shall
  occur.





6.          
   If any Event of Default shall have occurred, FREIT
may:





(a)          
 declare the entire unpaid principal balance, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest, charges, fees and all other sums under this Note to be due and
payable, whereupon this Note shall become forthwith due and payable as to
principal, interest, charges, fees and all other sums due hereunder, without
presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein
notwithstanding;

(c)        
   sell all or part of any collateral given to secure this Note
at public or private sale, with such notice, if any, as may be required by law,

    institute proceedings for the complete or partial
foreclosure of any property securing the within Note; and/or





(e)        
   commence any other proceedings or steps to protect or enforce
its rights in any sequence determined by FREIT.





7.

interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to
FREIT, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against the Borrowers
Membership Interest in Damascus 100, LLC, and as set forth in a certain Pledge
and Security Agreement of even date herewith given by Borrower to
FREIT.  At any time without demand or notice (any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrower), FREIT may set off the same or any part
thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of the Borrower even
though unmatured regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing
this Note.  ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE FREIT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS
OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THIS NOTE OR OTHER
PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY

remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute.  No delay or omission of FREIT to exercise any right or power
accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or
shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Note may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by
