CONSULTING AND OFFICE SERVICES AGREEMENT    
    
    (UTAH OFFICE)    
    

        THIS CONSULTING AND OFFICE SERVICES AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is dated as of January 30, 2004, by and between KAUSAY HOLDINGS, LLC, a California limited
liability company ("Kausay"), and PRICE LEGACY CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation ("Owner"), with reference to the following facts: 

RECITALS  

        WHEREAS, Owner is a real estate investment trust which has an acquisitions and dispositions office located in Bountiful, Utah ("Utah Office"); 

        WHEREAS,
effective February 1, 2004, Kausay desires to hire certain individuals, including Mr. Mark Burton, Mr. John Langford, Mr. Steve Farnsworth,
Mr. Bryan Anderson and Ms. Lynnette Gonnuscio ("Individuals") currently employed by Owner at the Utah Office who have knowledge pertaining to the acquisition and disposition of real
estate; and 

        WHEREAS,
effective February 1, 2004, provided that (i) the Individuals have resigned from Owner and (ii) Kausay has hired the Individuals from the Utah Office, Owner
desires to engage Kausay to provide various acquisition and disposition services to Owner and to furnish related due diligence and other real estate services as may be specified by Owner from
time-to-time, all subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

AGREEMENT  

        NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration and based on the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the undersigned parties hereby agree as
follows: 

        1.    Engagement of Services/Term.    During the Consulting Period, as hereafter defined, Owner hereby engages Kausay
for, and Kausay hereby agrees to perform, the Consulting Services (as hereafter defined) subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall
commence as of February 1, 2004, and shall continue for a period of one year until February 1, 2005 (the "Consulting Period").    Thereafter, this Agreement shall continue
from month-to-month until terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the other party. 

        2.    Duties of Kausay.    

        (a)   Kausay
will provide to Owner certain Consulting Services as Owner may request from time-to-time in writing, so that Owner may continue to have
the benefit of Kausay's experience and knowledge with respect to acquisitions and dispositions of real estate. The nature of the Consulting Services will include those services which were typically
provided for Owner in the past by the Individuals in the Utah Office including, without limitation, assisting Owner with performance of Owner's obligations under Section 9 of that certain
Option Agreement and Escrow Instructions dated June 29, 2001 with respect to the Greensburg, Indiana, property. For purposes of performing the Consulting Services, Kausay employees, including
Individuals in the Utah Office, will be available for advice and counsel to the officers and employees of Owner at all reasonable times, by telephone, by letter or in person. It is understood and
agreed that Mr. Mark Burton's direct involvement in the Consulting Services is the primary consideration for Owner in entering into this Agreement.

        (b)   Kausay
shall facilitate all due diligence services regarding the acquisition and disposition of real estate identified by Owner. 

        (c)   In
its capacity as a consultant to Owner, Kausay shall have no managerial or contracting authority with respect to the operations of Owner, except as expressly
authorized in writing by Owner, nor shall Kausay be or represent itself to be an agent or employee of Owner with authority to in any way bind Owner. 

        (d)   All
Consulting Services rendered by Kausay pursuant to this Agreement shall be performed with due and reasonable diligence consistent with sound professional practice,
and shall be of a quality reasonably acceptable to Owner. 

        (e)   Owner
shall have the right to direct Kausay to proceed with or terminate selected services from time to time and otherwise have the right to vary or rescind any interim
directions from time to time, by delivering written notice to Kausay. 

        3.    Kausay as Independent Contractor.    Kausay recognizes that it is engaged as an independent contractor. Kausay
acknowledges that Owner has no responsibility to provide Kausay with insurance or any other fringe benefits normally associated with employee status. 

        4.    Compensation    

        (a)   During
the Consulting Period, Kausay shall be entitled to receive from Owner $16,666.66/per month ($200,000 per year) for general consulting and office services (the
"Consulting Fee"). 

        (b)   During
the Consulting Period, Kausay shall receive additional compensation in the form of acquisition and disposition fees, as follows: 

	(1)
	Disposition
fee of 1% of gross sales proceeds upon the sale of Owner's property in Anaheim, California; provided, however, the foregoing disposition fee shall not be paid in the event
the purchaser is Kausay or a joint venture entity comprised of Kausay and Rawson, Blum and Leon ("RBL"), or assigns.

	(2)
	Disposition
fee of 11/2% gross sales proceeds upon the sale of Owner's property in Farmington, UT; Tucson, AZ and/or Fountain Valley, CA.

	(3)
	Disposition
fee of 1/2% of gross sales proceeds upon the sale of Owner's property known as Phoenix One North First to the buyer with whom the property is currently
under contract; if the property is sold to a third party not affiliated with such buyer, the disposition fee will be 11/2% of gross sales proceeds.

	(4)
	Disposition
fee of 1/2% upon the sale of Owner's property in Hampton, Virginia, to the buyer with whom the property is currently under contract; if the property is sold
to a third party not affiliated with such buyer, the disposition fee will be 11/2% of gross sales proceeds.

	(5)
	Acquisition
fee of 1% of purchase price on any property Owner may acquire with a price in excess of $20,000,000, provided Kausay has provided Consulting Services for such acquisition.

	(6)

out-of-pocket costs and expenses as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein. Kausay shall negotiate all third party consultants' contracts for
execution by Owner; provided, however, that Owner shall have the right to pre-approve the third parties selected by Kausay as well as cost estimates for any such contract.

shall not be obligated to pay a bonus to Mr. Mark Burton for work performed in 2003. Instead, as consideration therefore, Owner shall execute separation documents with Mr. Burton
substantially similar to those recently executed between Owner and Mr. James Nakagawa. 

        8.    Lease Assignment and Equipment.    Effective February 1, 2004, Owner shall assign to Kausay its lease for

effective February 1, 2004, Owner shall transfer to Kausay all furniture, computers and customary office equipment currently in the Utah Office which is owned by Owner; should any such
furniture or equipment be leased, Owner will assign such leases to Kausay (to the extent possible) and Kausay shall accept such assignment. 

        9.    Termination.    

        (a)   Owner
may terminate this Agreement for good cause, upon twenty-four (24) hours notice in writing. Upon such termination, all payments hereunder shall
cease, other than payments which had accrued prior to the termination date, and no further acquisition or disposition fees as set forth in Section 4(b) shall be paid to Kausay. In the event
this Agreement is terminated by Owner pursuant to this Section 9(a) without good cause, Owner shall pay to Kausay an amount equal to the unpaid portion of the annual Consulting Fee set forth in
