committee thereof, from time to time, the Advisor agrees at the direction of
the Board of Directors or any such committee to issue on behalf of the Company
commitments on such terms as are established by the Board of Directors or any
such committee, for the acquiring of Properties or other assets.

its duties, the Board of Directors shall, to the extent it deems proper,
provide the Advisor with full information concerning the Company, its
capitalization and investment policies and the intentions of the Board of
Directors with respect to future investments. The Company shall furnish the
Advisor with a copy of all audited financial statements, a signed copy of each
report prepared by independent accountants, and such other information with
regard to its affairs as the Advisor may from time to time reasonably request.

5.
Advice. In addition to the services described in Section 2 above, the
Advisor shall consult with the Board of Directors and the officers of the
Company and shall furnish them with advice and recommendations with respect to
the acquiring of Properties or commitments therefor, or other investments of,
or investments considered by, the Company, and shall furnish advice and
recommendations with respect to other aspects of the business and affairs of

and authority to make and dispose of investments and to make and terminate
commitments for investments, on behalf of and in the name of the Company,
without further or express authority from the Board of Directors; provided,
however that the Board of Directors shall have the power to revoke, suspend,
modify or limit such power and authority at any time or from time to time, but
not retroactively. Unless otherwise notified by the

accounts 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, under such terms and conditions as the Board of
Directors may approve, provided that all such accounts shall be maintained in
such fashion as to make clear that the funds therein are the property of the
Company and not of the Advisor. The Advisor shall from time to time render
appropriate accountings of such collections and payments to the Board of
Directors and to the auditors of the Company.

Investment Undertakings. The Advisor shall use its best efforts to
assure that (i) any mortgage securing a Property of the Company shall be and
remain a valid lien upon the mortgaged property according to its terms; (ii)
the title to any Property is insured by appropriate policies of title
insurance; (iii) any Property is duly insured against loss or damage by fire,
with extended coverage, and against such other insurable hazards and risks as
is customary and appropriate in the circumstances; and (iv) the policies from
time to time specified by the Board of Directors with regard to the protection
of the Companys investments are carried out. Any and all fees and costs
incurred by the Advisor in performing such functions, whether payable to its
Affiliates or independent Persons shall be borne by the Company.

8.
Records; Confidentiality. The Advisor shall maintain appropriate records
of all its activities hereunder and make such records available for inspection
by the Board of Directors 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. The Advisor shall keep confidential any and all information
obtained in connection with the services rendered hereunder and shall not
disclose any such information to nonaffiliated Persons except with the prior
consent of the Board.

9.
Limitation of Activities. Anything else in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding:

| | (a)
 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
 real estate investment trust as defined in the Code, subject the Company to
 regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, violate any law, rule or
 regulation or would otherwise not be permitted by the Articles of
 Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, except if such action shall be
 ordered by the Board of Directors, in which case the Advisor shall notify
 promptly the Board of Directors 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 of Directors.
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor and its stockholders, directors,
 officers and employees shall not be liable to the Company, or to the
 Companys Board of Directors or Shareholders for any act or omission by the
 Advisor, or its stockholders, directors, officers or employees except as
 provided in Section 16 of this Agreement.

 Asset Management Fee. The Company shall pay to the Advisor quarterly, for
 services rendered under this Agreement, an Asset Management Fee calculated as
 follows: The Asset Management Fee for any calendar year shall be an
 applicable percentage of the Total Contributions. The applicable percentage
 used to calculate such Asset Management Fee shall be based upon the Return
 Ratio, calculated on a per annum basis, for the preceding calendar year. The
 Asset Management Fee shall be as follows with respect to each calendar year:
 0.1% of Total Contributions if the Return Ratio for the calendar year or
 prorata for a partial year is 6.0% or less; 0.15% of Total Contributions if
 the Return Ratio for the calendar year or prorata for a partial year is more
 than 6.0% but not more than 8.0%; and 0.25% of Total Contributions if the
 Return Ratio for the calendar year or prorata for a partial year is above
 8.0%. If the Asset Management Fee is payable with respect to any calendar
 year or partial year, it shall be prorated based on the number of days
 elapsed during any such partial calendar year and paid quarterly.

13.
Limitation on the Advisors Investment Advice. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the Advisor shall not be required to, and
shall not, advise the Company as to any investments in securities, except when,
and to the extent that, the Advisor and the Company specifically agree (i) that
such advice is desirable, and (ii) that such advice can be rendered
consistently with applicable legal requirements, including any applicable
provisions of relevant investment advisor laws.

14.
Other Services. Should the Board of Directors request that the Advisor
or any employee thereof render material services for the Company other than set
forth in Section 2, such services shall be separately compensated and shall not
be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

15.
Limitation on Operating Expenses. Within 120 days from the end of any
Calendar Year, the Advisor shall refund to the Company the amount, if any, by

| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | (a)
 2% of the Average Invested Assets of the Company for such Calendar Year; or                                                             
| |                                                                                                                                              
| | (b)
 25% of the Companys Company Net Income for such Calendar Year, determined in
 accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The
Directors of the Company may determine that, because of unusual and
non-recurring factors which they deem sufficient, a higher level of Operating
Expenses is justified for such Calendar Year. The Advisor shall be promptly
reimbursed for any payments made under this Section 15 if, in any succeeding
Calendar Year, the Operating Expenses of the Company are less than the
permitted level of Operating Expenses.

16.
Advisory Responsibility. The Advisor assumes no responsibility under
this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder in good
faith and with integrity, and shall not be responsible for any action of the
Company in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation of the
Advisor. Neither the Advisor, its shareholders, directors, officers nor
employees nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person contracting with the
Advisor for services and its shareholders, directors, officers and employees
nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable to the Company or its Shareholders,
except by reason of acts constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The Advisor hereby agrees to look solely to the assets of the Company for
satisfaction of all claims against the Company, and in no event shall any
Shareholder, Director, officer or agent of the Company have any personal
liability for the obligation of the Company under this Agreement.

17.
Incorporation of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. To the extent
the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws impose obligations or restrictions on
the Advisor or grant the Advisor certain rights which are not set forth in this
Agreement, the Advisor shall abide by such obligations or restrictions and such
rights shall inure to the benefit of the Advisor with the same force and effect
as if they were set forth herein.

18.
Fiduciary Duty and Indemnification. Subject to Section 16, the Advisor
shall have a fiduciary relationship to the Shareholders. However, the Company
shall indemnify the Advisor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for its
liabilities and losses arising from the operations of the Company (including
its costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in
connection with investigating and defending itself against such liabilities and
losses) if the following conditions are met:

| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | (a)
 the Directors have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct
 which caused the liability or loss was undertaken in good faith within what
 the Advisor reasonably believed to be the scope of its employment or
 authority and for a purpose which it reasonably believed to be in the best
 interests of the Company;
| |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
| | (b)
 the Directors have determined, in good faith, that the liability or loss was
 not the result of willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard of duties
 or violation of the criminal law on the part of the Advisor; and                                                                                                     
| |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
| | (c)
 the indemnified amount is recoverable only out of the assets of the Company
 and not from the Shareholders.

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, indemnification will not be allowed for any liability imposed by
judgment, and costs associated therewith, including attorneys fees, arising
from or out of a violation of state or federal securities laws associated with
the Offering of the Units unless (i) there has been a successful adjudication
on the merits of each count involving alleged securities laws violations as to
the particular indemnitee, or (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.

19.
Transactions between the Advisor and the Company. All transactions
between the Advisor and the Company shall require the approval by a majority of
the Directors and shall otherwise comply with the conflict of interest
provisions of the Bylaws.

20.
Relationship of Advisor and Company. The Company and the Advisor are not
partners or joint ventures with each other, and nothing herein shall be
construed to make them such partners or joint ventures or impose any liability
as such on either of them.

21.
Other Activities. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing
contained herein shall limit the right of the Advisor or any of its officers,
directors or employees, whether or not a Director, officer or employee of the
Company, to engage in other business activities or to render services of any
kind to any other Person even if such other business activities or services may
be in direct competition with the Company.

The
Advisor shall be entitled to receive, promptly after such 30-day period,
reimbursement for any additional expenses to which it is entitled (and for
which it has not been reimbursed under clause (i) of Section 23(b)).

24.
Assignment. This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor with the
approval of a majority of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that such
approval shall not be required in the case of an assignment to a corporation,
association, trust or organization which may take over the assets and carry on
the affairs of the Advisor, provided that at the time of such assignment, such
successor organization shall be owned substantially by the Advisor or its
Affiliates and that an officer of the Advisor shall deliver to the Board of
Directors a statement in writing indicating the ownership structure of the
successor organization. Such an assignment shall bind the assignees hereunder
in the same manner as the Advisor is bound hereunder and the assignee shall be
entitled to any and all rights under this Agreement, including those set forth
in section 18. Upon assignment of this Agreement, the Advisor shall be
discharged from its future duties and shall not be entitled to any of the
rights granted under this Agreement. 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 hereunder.

25.

expressly made subject to Article VIII of the Bylaws of the Company.

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
