     1. Duties of the Advisor. Subject to the supervision of the Directors and
the other provisions of this Agreement, the Advisor will be responsible for

<PAGE>


     2. No Partnership or Joint Venture. The Company and the Advisor are not
partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing herein shall be
construed so as to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any
liability as such on either of them.

     3. Records. At all times, the Advisor shall keep proper books of account
and records with respect to the Advisor's activities on behalf of the Company
which books shall be accessible for inspection by the Company at any time during
ordinary business hours, and copies of which shall be provided to the Company
with respect to each quarter within 60 days after the end of each quarter. These
books of account and records are deemed to be the property of the Company. The
Advisor will be entitled to keep copies for all periods for which this Agreement
is in effect.

     4. Additional Obligations of the Advisor. The Advisor shall refrain from
any action (including, without limitation, furnishing or rendering services to
tenants of property or managing or operating real property) that would (a)
adversely affect the status of the Company as a real estate investment trust, as
defined and limited in Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code, (b)
violate any law, rule, regulation, or statement of policy of any governmental
body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company or over its securities, (c)
cause the Company to be required to register as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, or (d) otherwise not be permitted by the
Articles of Incorporation of the Company.

     5. Information Furnished to Advisor. The Directors shall have the right to
change the Business Plan at any time, effective upon receipt by the Advisor of
notice of such change.

     6. Compensation of Advisor. For services rendered under this Agreement, the
Advisor shall receive the following compensation:

        6.1 Advisory Fee. A one-time advisory fee equal to five percent (5%) of
the Equity Value (defined below) of all real property acquired or long-term
leased by the Company during the term of the Agreement. Payment of the Advisory
Fee is intended to cover overhead expenses of the Advisor not covered by the
Administrative fee and is subject to certain limitations on the operating
expenses of the Advisor as set forth below.

        6.2 Capital Project Fee. A supervision and project management fee equal
to three percent (3%) of the total cost of all capital projects in excess of
$100,000 and approved by the Company, with respect to projects commenced by the
Company after September 1, 2000.

     7. Incentive Compensation. As additional compensation for its services,
Advisor shall receive an incentive fee consisting of 750,000 common stock
purchase warrants ("Incentive Warrants") exercisable at $5 per share with a term

                                       3

<PAGE>


of five (5) years. The warrants shall be issued as of December 22, 1999 and
225,000 Incentive Warrants shall vest immediately. The balance of 525,000
Incentive Warrants shall vest and become exercisable only as follows:

        7.1 Upon completion of an acquisition, purchase or long-term lease of
real property by the Company, the remaining Incentive Warrants shall vest in an
amount equal to 2.1% of the Equity Value of the Property acquired. "Equity
Value" of a property is equal to the acquisition price of the property
(including expenses of purchase) less any mortgage debt assumed or incurred in
connection with the acquisition plus any capital expenditures and lease-up costs
incurred in connection with the property during the first 12 months of
ownership. Any cash proceeds from the sale or refinancing of assets owned by the
Company and excess cash flow generated by assets owned by the Company that is
received by the Company subsequent to January 1, 2000 and that has not been
previously deducted from the acquisition price in a prior determination of
Equity Value shall also be deducted from the acquisition price as part of the
calculation of Equity Value. The total amount of Equity Value of real property
subject to incentive compensation under this Agreement shall not exceed $ 50
million.

        7.2 Upon issuance, Incentive Warrants shall be issued to the Advisor for
distribution to members and employees of the Advisor in accordance with the
Warrant Distribution Schedule approved by the Company. This Warrant Distribution
Schedule may be reasonably adjusted from time to time by the Advisor, with
approval of the Directors. All members and employees of the Advisor who are
scheduled to receive Incentive Warrants shall execute a Buy-Sell Agreement with
the Advisor which contains a vesting schedule and provides for the disposition
of the Incentive Warrants in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Company in
the event of the death, retirement or termination of the member or employee.

        7.3 Notwithstanding the vesting schedule, the warrants shall not be
exercisable by the
holders until January 1, 2003.

        7.4 Issuance of Incentive Warrants is subject to all applicable rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of
Securities Dealers or the American Stock Exchange, as applicable. The Company
and the Advisor agree to cooperate with each other as may be required to obtain
all approvals as may be necessary to complete the issuance of Incentive Warrants
under this Agreement, including the approval of shareholders of the Company as
may be required. The failure to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of
Incentive Warrants shall not invalidate any other provisions of this Agreement.

     8. Statements. The Advisor shall furnish to the Company not later than 30
days after the end of each calendar quarter, a statement showing the computation
of the fees, if any, payable with respect to the preceding calendar quarter (or,
in the case of incentive compensation, for the preceding Fiscal Year, as
appropriate) under this Agreement. The final settlement of incentive
compensation for each Fiscal Year shall be subject to adjustment in accordance
with, and upon completion of, the annual audit of the Company's financial

                                       4

<PAGE>


statements; any payment by the Company or repayment by the Advisor that shall be
indicated to be necessary in accordance therewith shall be made promptly after
the completion of such audit and shall be reflected in the audited statements to
be published by the Company.

     9. Compensation for Additional Services. If and to the extent that the
Directors shall request the Advisor or any director, officer, partner, or
employee of the Advisor to render services for the Company other than those
required to be rendered by the Advisor hereunder, such additional services, if
performed, will be compensated separately on terms to be agreed upon between
such party and the Company in advance of the performance of such services.

     10. Expenses of the Advisor. Without regard to the amount of compensation
or reimbursement received hereunder by the Advisor, the Advisor shall bear the
following expenses:

         10.1 employment expenses of the personnel employed by the Advisor
(including Directors, officers, and employees of the Company who are directors,
officers, or employees of the Advisor or of any company that controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with the Advisor), including, but not
limited to, fees, salaries, wages, payroll taxes, travel expenses, and the cost
of employee benefit plans and temporary help expenses;

         10.2 advertising and promotional expenses, including investor
relations, incurred in seeking investments for the Company;

         10.3 rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture and furnishings, and
other office expenses of the Advisor and the Company, except as any of such
expenses relates to an office maintained by the Company separate from the office
of the Advisor; and

         10.4 miscellaneous administrative expenses relating to performance by
the Advisor of its functions hereunder.

     11. Expenses of the Company. The Company shall pay all of its expenses not
assumed by the Advisor, including the cost of all operating personnel and other
expenses related to the day-to-day operating and management of the Company.

     12. Other Activities of Advisor. The Advisor, its officers, directors, or
employees or any of its Affiliates may engage in other business activities
related to real estate investments or act as advisor to any other person or
entity (including another real estate investment trust), including those with
investment policies similar to the Company, provided that the Advisor and its
officers, directors, or employees and any of its Affiliates shall present in
writing to the Company on a right of first refusal basis any real estate
investment opportunity that comes to the Advisor or such persons, regardless of
whether such opportunity is in accordance with the Company's Business Plan.

                                       5

<PAGE>


     13. Limitation on Advisory Fee. To the extent that the Advisory Fee during
the initial term of this Agreement exceeds the budget submitted by the Advisor
and contained in the Business Plan ("Approved Budget"), the Advisor shall refund
such excess fees to the Company. For purposes of calculating the Approved
Budget, the parties shall include the expenses of the Advisor from September 1,
1999.

     14. Term; Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence effective
as of January 1, 2000 (the "Effective Date") and shall continue in force until
December 31, 2003, and, thereafter, it may be renewed from year to year, subject
to any required approval of the Stockholders of the Company, by the approval of
a majority of the Directors who are not affiliated with the Advisors. This
Agreement may be terminated for any reason without penalty upon 120 days'
written notice by the Company to the Advisor by the vote of a majority of the
Directors who are not Affiliates of the Advisor or by the vote of holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, in the event of any material change in the ownership,
control, or management of the Advisor, the Company may terminate this Agreement
without penalty and without advance notice to the Advisor. Resignation of either
William T. Atkins or Charles K. Knight from the Advisor without prior approval
of the Company shall be deemed a material change in control. If the Company
desires to renew after the initial term or after the first one-year renewal
following the initial term and the Advisor does not agree to renew or cannot
renew (because both of William Atkins and Charles Knight are not willing to
renew or for any other reason), then for the 30-day period following the first
30-day period after termination of this Agreement, the Company will have the
right to acquire all the outstanding Incentive Warrants at a price equal to the
greater of (a) the amount, if any, by which the "Thirty Day Average Price", as
defined below, exceeds the exercise price of the Incentive Warrants, and (b)
$.001 per Incentive Warrant. The Company may effect a purchase of Incentive
Warrants by delivering to the Warrant Holder a notice of repurchase together
with a check or money order for the amount of payment. As used in this
paragraph, the term "Thirty Day Average Price" means the weighted average sale
price for the Company's common stock during the entire 30-day period following
termination of this Agreement.

     15. Change of Control If there occurs a "Change in Control", as defined
below, and this Agreement is terminated within 90 days after the occurrence of
the Change in Control other than in the manner specified in Section 14 above,
then all Incentive Warrants shall become exercisable immediately upon that
termination of this Agreement and the Company shall pay to Advisor within 30
days after that termination all cash compensation owed by the Company to the
Advisor through the date of termination plus an amount equal to the excess of
all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by Advisor in the performance of
its obligations pursuant to this Agreement since the commencement of this
Agreement over all compensation and reimbursement received by Advisor pursuant
to this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 15, a Change in Control shall
mean that the individuals who, as of the Effective Date, are members of the
Board (the "Incumbent Board"), cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority of the Board; provided however, that if the election, or nomination for
election by the Company's stockholders, of any new director was approved by a
vote of at least a majority of the then Incumbent Board, such new director

                                       6

<PAGE>


shall, for purposes of this Section 15, be considered as a member of the
Incumbent Board; provided further however, that no individual shall be
considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed
office as a result of either an actual or threatened "Election Contest" (as
described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the 1934 Act) or other actual or
threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other
than the Board (a "Proxy Contest") including by reason of any agreement intended
to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest, and provided further
that the replacement of a Director who is an Affiliate of Advisor by another
director who is an Affiliate of Advisor shall not be considered in determining
whether there has been a change in the number of Incumbent Directors leading to
a possible Change in Control.

     16. Amendments. 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 assigns, or otherwise as
provided herein.

     17. Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Advisor without
the prior consent of the Company. The Company may terminate this Agreement in
the event of its assignment by the Advisor without the prior consent of the
Company. Such an assignment or any other assignment of this Agreement shall bind
the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Advisor is bound hereunder.
This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Company without the consent of the
Advisor, except in the case of assignment by the Company to a corporation,
association, trust, or other organization that is a successor to the Company.
Such successor shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in
the same manner as the Company is bound hereunder.

     18. Default, Bankruptcy, Etc.. At the option solely of the Directors, this
Agreement shall be and become terminated immediately upon written notice of
termination from the Directors to the Advisor if any of the following events
shall occur:

         18.1 If the Advisor shall violate any provision of this Agreement, and
after notice of such violation shall not cure such default within 30 days; or

         18.2 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 or of all or substantially all of its property by reason of the
foregoing, or approving any petition filed against the Advisor for its
reorganization, and such adjudication or order shall remain in force or unstayed
for a period of 30 days; or

         18.3 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 the relief of debtors, or shall
consent to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of all or substantially
all 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.

                                       7

     The Advisor agrees that if any of the events specified in subsections 18.2
and 18.3 of this Section 18 shall occur, it will give written notice thereof to
the Directors within seven days after the occurrence of such event.

     19. Action Upon Termination. From and after the effective date of
termination of this Agreement, pursuant to Sections 17 or 18 hereof, the Advisor
shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder but shall
be paid all compensation accruing to the date of termination based on the Equity
Value of all properties and cash proceeds not yet invested as of the termination
Date. In addition to any obligations hereunder that may have accrued as of the
effective date of termination (such as the obligations to provide reports for
prior months), the Advisor shall forthwith upon such termination:

         19.1 pay over to the Company all monies collected and held for the
account of the Company pursuant to this Agreement;

         19.2 deliver to the Directors a full accounting, including a statement
showing all payments collected by it and a statement of any monies held by it,
covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the
Directors;

         19.3 deliver to the Directors all property and documents of the Company
then in the custody of the Advisor; and

         19.4 cooperate with the Company and take all reasonable additional
steps requested to assist the Company in making an orderly transition of the
advisory functions.

     20. Miscellaneous. The Advisor shall be deemed to be in a fiduciary
relationship to the shareholders of the Company. The Advisor assumes no
responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for
hereunder in good faith, and shall not be responsible for any action of the
Directors in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendations of
the Advisor. Neither the Advisor nor any of its shareholders, directors,
officers, or employees shall be liable to the Company, the Directors, the
holders of securities of the Company or to any successor or assign of the
Company for any losses arising from the operation of the Company if the Advisor
had determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss
or liability was in the best interests of the Company and the liability or loss
was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Advisor. However, in no
event will the directors, officers or employees of the Advisor be personally
liable for any act or failure to act unless it was the result of such person's
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty.
