upon surrender hereof, at the principal office of the Company referred to below,
with the Notice of Exercise attached hereto duly executed, and simultaneous
payment therefor in lawful money of the United States. The number, character and
Exercise Price of the Shares are subject to adjustment as provided below.

     1.         Grant and Exercise.  Optionee shall be entitled to purchase a

the Option may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of the Option, a sufficient
number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the Option.

     4.         Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number
and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Option and the
Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
occurrence of certain events, as follows:

          a.    In case of (i) any reclassification of or similar change in the
Common Stock; (ii) any merger of the Company with or into another corporation
(other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is a
continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of or
similar change in the Common Stock); or (iii) any sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be, shall execute a new Option having substantially
similar terms.

          b.    In case of (i) any subdivision or combination of the Common
Stock or (ii) at any time or from time to time after the Grant Date, any
declaration or payment, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock
payable in shares of its capital stock or in any right to acquire shares of its
capital stock without consideration, the number of shares of Common Stock or
other security issuable upon exercise hereof shall be proportionately increased
or decreased, as appropriate.

          c.    The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any
other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of
any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will
at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of
this Paragraph 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Optionee against impairment.

     5.         Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Company shall, within 30 days of
such adjustment, deliver a certificate signed by its chief financial officer to
the Optionee(s) setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the
adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment
was calculated, and the Exercise Price after giving effect to such adjustment.

     6.         Transfers. This Option shall not be transferable by the Optionee
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

     7.         Rights as Stockholders. No Optionee, as such, shall be entitled
to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock, nor shall
anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Optionee, as such, any
of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the
election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any
meeting thereof, or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or
subscription rights or otherwise until all or a portion of this Option shall
have been exercised and the Shares shall have become deliverable, as provided
herein.

     8.         Other Conditions. If so requested by the Company, Optionee shall
(as a condition to the exercise of the Option) enter into such additional
shareholder, buy-sell or other agreement or agreements prepared by the Company
as the Company deems appropriate, or make such representations requested by the
Company as the Company deems appropriate, which may restrict transfer of the
Shares. The certificate(s) evidencing the Stock shall include one or more
legends that reference or describe the conditions upon exercise.

     9.         Modification and Waiver. This Option and any provision hereof
may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.

permitted to be given or delivered to the Optionee or the Company shall be

each such Optionee at its address as shown on the books of the Company or to the
Company at the address indicated on Exhibit A.

     11.        Binding Effect on Successors. This Option shall be binding upon
any corporation succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition
of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, and all of the obligations
of the Company relating to the Shares shall survive the exercise and termination
of this Option and all of the covenants and agreements of the Company shall
inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Optionee. The Company
will, at the time of the exercise of this Option, in whole or in part, upon
request of the Optionee but at the Company's expense, acknowledge in writing its
continuing obligation to the Optionee hereof in respect of any rights to which
the Optionee shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance
with this Option; provided, that the failure of the Optionee to make any such
request shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to the
Optionee in respect of such rights.

     12.        Lost Stock Certificates. The Company covenants to the Optionee
that upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the
loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any stock certificate issued to the
Optionee pursuant to the exercise of this Option, and, in the case of any such
loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and
cancellation of such stock certificate, the Company will make and deliver a new
stock certificate, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated stock certificate.

     13.        Governing Law. This Option shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of
the State of Delaware, without regard to such state's conflicts of laws
principles.

above a monthly fee in an amount equal to 0.05% of the Company's Real Estate
Asset Value and the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loans (the

Real Estate Asset Value equals the amount invested in the Properties wholly
owned by the Company, determined on the basis of cost, plus, in the case of
Properties owned by any Joint Venture or partnership in which the Company is a
co-venturer or partner, the portion of the cost of such Properties paid by the
Company, exclusive of Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses. The Asset
Management Fee shall be payable monthly on the last day of such month, or the
first business day following the last day of such month. The Asset Management
Fee, which will not exceed fees which are competitive for similar services in
the same geographic area, may or may not be taken, in whole or in part as to any
year, in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Asset
Management Fee not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without
interest and may be taken in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall
determine.

entities rendering similar services as an ongoing public activity in the same
geographical location and for comparable types of Properties and to the extent
that other acquisition fees, finder's fees, real estate commissions, or other
similar fees or commissions are paid by any person in connection with the
transaction. In addition, Acquisition Fees shall be reduced to 1.0% of Gross
Proceeds in connection with sales in excess of 500,000 shares to a "purchaser"
(as such term is defined in the section of the Prospectus titled "The Offering
-- Plan of Distribution"), provided all such shares are purchased through the
same registered investment adviser, Soliciting Dealer or the Managing Dealer.
The total of all Acquisition Fees and any Acquisition Expenses shall be limited
in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation.

                                       15
<PAGE>

            (c)   Subordinated Disposition Fee. If the Advisor or an Affiliate
provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by a majority of
the Independent Directors) in connection with the Sale of one or more
Properties, the Advisor or an Affiliate shall receive a Subordinated Disposition
Fee equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of a Competitive Real Estate Commission
or (ii) 3% of the sales price of such Property or Properties. The Subordinated
Disposition Fee will be paid only if Stockholders have received total
Distributions in an amount equal to or greater than the sum of their aggregate
Invested Capital and their aggregate Stockholders' 8% Return. 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 accrued and paid at such
time as the subordination conditions have been satisfied. The Subordinated
Disposition Fee may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to
non-Affiliates, provided that the total real estate commissions paid to all
Persons by the Company (including the Subordinated Disposition Fee) shall not
exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6% of the Contract Sales Price of a
Property or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission. In the event this
Agreement is terminated prior to such time as the Stockholders have received
total Distributions in an amount equal to 100% of Invested Capital plus an
amount sufficient to pay the Stockholders' 8% Return through the Termination
Date, an appraisal of the Properties then owned by the Company shall be made and
the Subordinated Disposition Fee on Properties previously sold will be deemed
earned if the Appraised Value of the Properties then owned by the Company plus
total Distributions received prior to the Termination Date equals or is greater
than 100% of Invested Capital plus an amount sufficient to pay the Stockholders'
8% Return through the Termination Date. Upon Listing, if the Advisor has accrued
but not been paid such Subordinated Disposition Fee, then for purposes of
determining whether the subordination conditions have been satisfied,
Stockholders will be deemed to have received a Distribution in the amount equal
to the product of the total number of Shares outstanding and the average closing
price of the Shares over a period, beginning 180 days after Listing, of 30 days
during which the Shares are traded.

            (d)   Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds. The Subordinated
Share of Net Sales Proceeds shall be payable to the Advisor in an amount equal
to or greater than 10% of Net Sales Proceeds from Sales of Assets of the Company
after the Stockholders have received Distributions equal to the sum of the
Stockholders' 8% Return and 100% of Invested Capital. Following Listing, no
Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds will be paid to the Advisor.

            (e)   Subordinated Incentive Fee. Upon Listing (other than on the
Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board), the Advisor shall be paid the
Subordinated Incentive Fee in an amount equal to 10% of the amount by which (i)
the market value of the Company, measured by taking the average closing price or
average of bid and asked price, as the case may be, over a period of 30 days
during which the Shares are traded, with such period beginning 180 days after
Listing (the "Market Value"), plus the total Distributions paid to Stockholders
from the Company's inception until the date of Listing, exceeds (ii) the sum of
(A) 100% of Invested Capital and (B) the total Distributions required to be paid
to the Stockholders in order to pay the Stockholders' 8% Return from inception
through the date the Market Value is determined. The Company shall have the
option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Securities, a promissory note or any
combination of the foregoing. The Subordinated Incentive Fee will be reduced by
the amount of

                                       16
<PAGE>

any prior payment to the Advisor of a deferred, Subordinated Share of Net Sales
Proceeds from Sales of assets of the Company.

            (f)   Secured Equipment Lease Servicing Fee. The Company shall pay
to the Advisor out of the Proceeds of the Line of Credit or Permanent Financing
as compensation for negotiating its respective Secured Equipment Leases and
supervising the Secured Equipment Lease program a fee equal to 2% of the
purchase price of the Equipment subject to each Secured Equipment Lease upon
entering into such lease or loan.

            (g)   Loans from Affiliates. If any loans are made to the Company by
an Affiliate of the Advisor, the maximum amount of interest that may be charged
by such Affiliate shall be the lesser of (i) 1% above the prime rate of interest
charged from time to time by The Bank of New York and (ii) the rate that would
be charged to the Company by unrelated lending institutions on comparable loans
for the same purpose. The terms of any such loans shall be no less favorable
than the terms available between non-Affiliated Persons for similar commercial
loans.

            (h)   Changes to Fee Structure. In the event of Listing, the Company
and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee structure
appropriate for a perpetual-life entity. 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 shall consider all of the factors
they deem relevant, including, but not limited to: (i) the amount of the
advisory fee in relation to the asset value, composition and profitability of
the Company's portfolio; (ii) the success of the Advisor in generating
opportunities that meet the investment objectives of the Company; (iii) the
rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by advisors
performing the same or similar services; (iv) 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; (v) the quality and extent of service and
advice furnished by the Advisor; (vi) the performance of the investment
portfolio of the Company, including income, conversion or appreciation of
capital, and number and frequency of problem investments; and (vii) the quality
of the Property, Mortgage Loan and Secured Equipment Lease 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.

      (10)  EXPENSES.

            (a)   In addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant
to Paragraph 9 hereof, the Company shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor

not limited to:

the Advisor at the lesser of the actual cost or 90% of the competitive rate
charged by unaffiliated persons providing similar goods and services in the same
geographic location;

                  (iii) the actual cost of goods and materials used by the
Company and obtained from entities not affiliated with the Advisor, other than

                  (iv)  interest and other costs for borrowed money, including

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

                  (viii) all expenses in connection with payments to the
Directors and meetings of the Directors and Stockholders;

                  (ix)  expenses associated with Listing or with the issuance
and distribution of Shares and Securities, such as selling commissions and fees,
advertising expenses, taxes, legal and accounting fees and Listing and

                  (x)   expenses connected with payments of Distributions in

modifying, or terminating the Company or the Articles of Incorporation;

                  (xii) expenses of maintaining communications with
Stockholders, including the cost of preparation, printing, and mailing annual
reports and other Stockholder reports, proxy statements and other reports
required by governmental entities;

                  (xiii) expenses related to negotiating and servicing Mortgage
Loans and Secured Equipment Leases;

                  (xiv) expenses related to negotiating and servicing Secured
Equipment Leases and administering the Secured Equipment Lease program;

                  (xv)  administrative service expenses (including personnel
costs; provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be made for costs of
personnel to the extent that such personnel perform services in transactions for
which the Advisor receives a separate fee at

                                       18
<PAGE>

the lesser of actual cost or 90% of the competitive rate charged by unaffiliated
persons providing similar goods and services in the same geographic location);
and

                  (xvi) audit, accounting and legal fees.

            (b)   Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and
payable pursuant to this Paragraph 10 shall be reimbursed no less than monthly
to the Advisor. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses
of the Company during each quarter, and shall deliver such statement to the
Company within 45 days after the end of each quarter.

      (11)  OTHER SERVICES. Should the Directors request that the Advisor or any
director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company other than
set forth in Paragraph 3, such services shall be separately compensated at such
rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and the Independent
Directors of the Company, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles
of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement.

      (12)  REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ADVISOR. The Company shall not reimburse the
Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter for Operating Expenses that, in the
four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the "Expense Year") exceed the
greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the "2%/25%
Guidelines") for such year. Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter
of the Company for which total Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed
the 2%/25% Guidelines, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company the amount by
which the total Operating Expenses paid or incurred by the Company exceed the
2%/25% Guidelines. The Company will not reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates
for services for which the Advisor or its Affiliates are entitled to
compensation in the form of a separate fee. All figures used in the foregoing
computation shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis.

      (13)  OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR. Nothing herein contained shall
prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including, without
limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (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 any
director, officer, employee, or stockholder 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 and every other participant therein. The
Advisor shall report to the Directors the existence of any condition or
circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates
or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor's obligations to the
Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other partnership,
corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor or its
Affiliates shall promptly disclose to the Directors knowledge of such condition
or circumstance. If the Sponsor, Advisor, Director or Affiliates thereof 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 Directors (including

                                       19
<PAGE>

the Independent Directors) to adopt the method set forth in the Registration
Statement or another reasonable method by which properties are to be allocated
to the competing investment entities and to use their 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 which is consistent
with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but 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 the character which, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the
Company. The Advisor or its Affiliates may make such an investment in a property
only after (i) such investment has been offered to the Company and all public
partnerships and other investment entities affiliated with the Company with
funds available for such investment and (ii) such investment is found to be
unsuitable for investment by the Company, such partnerships and investment
entities.

      In the event that 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 and its Affiliates shall consider 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 and the length of time such funds have been available for
investment. In the event that an investment opportunity becomes available which
is suitable for both the Company and a public or private entity which the
Advisor or its Affiliates are Affiliated, then the entity which has had the
longest period of time elapse since it was offered an investment opportunity
will first be offered the investment opportunity.

      (14)  RELATIONSHIP OF ADVISOR AND COMPANY. The Company and the Advisor are
not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any
liability as such on either of them.

      (15)  TERM; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in
force until May 3, 2005, subject to an unlimited number of successive one-year
renewals upon mutual consent of the parties. It is the duty of the Directors to
evaluate the performance of the Advisor annually before renewing the Agreement,
and each such agreement shall have a term of no more than one year.

      (16)  TERMINATION BY EITHER PARTY. This Agreement may be terminated upon
60 days written notice without Cause or penalty, by either party, or by the
mutual consent of the parties (by a majority of the Independent Directors of the
Company or a majority of the Board of Directors of the Advisor, as the case may
be).

      (17)  ASSIGNMENT TO AN AFFILIATE. This Agreement may be assigned by the
Advisor to an Affiliate with the approval of a majority of the Directors
(including a majority of the Independent Directors). The Advisor may assign any
rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining
the approval of the Directors. This Agreement shall not

                                       20
<PAGE>

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 all of the assets, rights and obligations of 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.

      (18)  SUBCONTRACTS WITH AFFILIATES. The Advisor may subcontract with an
Affiliate for a portion of the services and duties to be performed under this
Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Directors to the extent such
services or duties are primarily administrative in nature. The Advisor may
further subcontract any rights to receive fees or other payments for such
services or duties under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the
Directors.

      (19)  PAYMENTS TO AND DUTIES OF ADVISOR UPON TERMINATION. Payments to the
Advisor pursuant to this Paragraph (19) shall be subject to the 2%/25%
Guidelines to the extent applicable.

            (a)   After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall not be entitled
to compensation for further services hereunder except it shall be entitled to
receive from the Company within 30 days after the effective date of such
termination all unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees
payable to the Advisor prior to termination of this Agreement, exclusive of
disputed items arising out of possible unauthorized transactions.

            (b)   Upon termination, the Advisor shall be entitled to payment of
the Performance Fee if performance standards satisfactory to a majority of the
Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, when
compared to (a) the performance of the Advisor in comparison with its
performance for other entities, and (b) the performance of other advisors for
similar entities, have been met. If Listing has not occurred, the Performance
Fee, if any, shall equal 10% of the amount, if any, by which (i) the appraised
value of the assets of the Company on the Termination Date, less the amount of
all indebtedness secured by such assets, plus the total Distributions paid to
stockholders from the Company's inception through the Termination Date, exceeds
(ii) Invested Capital plus an amount equal to the Stockholders' 8% Return from
inception through the Termination Date. The Advisor shall be entitled to receive
all accrued but unpaid compensation and expense reimbursements in cash within 30
days of the Termination Date. All other amounts payable to the Advisor in the
event of a termination shall be evidenced by a promissory note and shall be
payable from time to time.

            (c)   The Performance Fee shall be paid in 12 equal quarterly
installments without interest on the unpaid balance, provided, however, that no
payment will be made in any quarter in which such payment would jeopardize the
Company's REIT status, in which case any such payment or payments will be
delayed until the next quarter in which payment would not jeopardize REIT
status. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any amounts which may be deemed
payable at the date the obligation to pay the Performance Fee is incurred which
relate to the appreciation of the Company's assets shall be an amount which
provides compensation to the terminated Advisor only for that portion of the
holding period for the respective assets during which the Advisor provided
services to the Company.

                                       21
<PAGE>

            (d)   If Listing occurs, the Performance Fee, if any, payable
thereafter will be as negotiated between the Company and the Advisor. The
Advisor shall not be entitled to payment of the Performance Fee in the event
this Agreement is terminated because of failure of the Company and the Advisor
to establish, pursuant to Paragraph 9(h) hereof, a fee structure appropriate for
a perpetual-life entity at such time, if any, as Listing occurs. The Performance
Fee, to the extent payable at the time of Listing, will not be payable in the
event the Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid.

            (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 Directors 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 Directors;

                  (iii) deliver to the Directors all assets, including
Properties, Mortgage Loans, and Secured Equipment Leases, and documents of the
Company then in the custody of the Advisor; and

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

      (20)  INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers,
directors, partners and employees, from all liability, claims, damages or losses
arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent such liability, claims,
damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance,
subject to any limitations imposed by the laws of the State of Maryland or the
Articles of Incorporation of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Advisor shall not be entitled to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to
this Paragraph 20 for any activity for which the Advisor shall be required to
indemnify or hold harmless the Company pursuant to Paragraph 21. Any
indemnification of the Advisor may be made only out of the net assets of the
Company and not from Stockholders.

      (21)  INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISOR. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Company from contract or other 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, misconduct or negligence, but the Advisor shall not be held responsible
for any action of the Board of Directors in following or declining to follow any
advice or recommendation given by the Advisor.

writing signed by both parties hereto, or their respective successors or
assignees.

      (24)  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.

      (25)  CONSTRUCTION. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted,
construed and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State
of Florida applicable to contracts to be made and performed entirely in said
state.

      (26)  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

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.

      (27)  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

                                       23

occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege

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

      (31)  NAME. CNL Retirement Corp. has a proprietary interest in the name
"CNL." Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the Company
ceases to retain CNL Retirement Corp. or an Affiliate thereof to perform the
services of Advisor, the Directors of the Company will, promptly after receipt
of written request from CNL Retirement Corp., cease to conduct business under or
use the name "CNL" 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 "CNL" 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 "CNL" 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.

      (32)  INITIAL INVESTMENT. The Advisor has contributed to the Company
$200,000 in exchange for 20,000 Equity Shares (the "Initial Investment"). The
Advisor may not sell these shares while the Advisory Agreement is in effect,
although the Advisor may transfer such shares to Affiliates. The restrictions
included above shall not apply to any Equity Shares, other than the Equity
Shares acquired through the Initial Investment, acquired by the Advisor or its
Affiliates. The Advisor shall not vote any Equity Shares it now owns, or
hereafter acquires, in any vote for the removal of Directors or any vote
regarding the approval or termination of any contract with the Advisor or any of
its Affiliates.

                                       24

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