pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or involving
the Company, the Operating Partnership or any Company Subsidiary or any of
their respective properties or assets, at Law or in equity which in the
aggregate could reasonably have a Material Adverse Effect.  There is no outstanding or, to the knowledge

business or operations of the Company, the

 

8

 

Operating Partnership and the Company Subsidiaries or
the use of their properties (including any leased properties) and assets,
except where failure to comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  Since July 1, 2005 neither the Company,
the Operating Partnership nor any Company Subsidiary has received any written
notice of violation or alleged material violation of any such Law or Order by
any Governmental Body in any material respect that has not been resolved.  Since July 1, 2005 neither the Company,

notice that it is the subject of an investigation by any Governmental Body
which has not been resolved or which could reasonably have a Material Adverse
Effect.

Section 3.12.      Financial Advisors.  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.12,
no agent, broker, investment banker, finder, financial advisor or other Person
is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission

amendments thereof and supplements thereto will comply in all material respects
with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder (“Rules and Regulations”), and will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact and will not omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein (i) in the case of the Registration Statement, not misleading and (ii)
in the case of the Prospectus or any related preliminary prospectus in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The statistical, industry-related and
market-related data included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
are based on or derived from sources which the Company reasonably and in good
faith believes are reliable and accurate, and such data agree with the sources
from which they are derived.

Section 3.14.      No Default.  The Company is not in default in the payment
or performance of any of its Contracts, except where such default would not
have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.15.      Other Registration Rights.  Except as provided in the Registration

Section 3.16.      Disclosure Controls.  The Company has established disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14)
for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure
that material information relating to the Company, including its subsidiaries,
is timely made known to the certifying officers by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s Form 10-K or
10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. 
The Operating Partnership’s certifying officers have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Operating Partnership’s controls and procedures as of June
30, 2005 (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). 
The Operating Partnership presented in its Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended June 30, 2005 the conclusions of the certifying officers about the
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their
evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. 
Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the
Operating Partnership’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item
307(b) of Regulation S-K

 

9

 

under the Exchange Act) or, to the knowledge of the
Company, in any factors that could significantly affect the Company’s or the
Operating Partnership’s internal controls.

Section 3.17       Taxes.     Since January 1, 2002, the Operating
Partnership and each Company Subsidiary has timely filed or caused to be filed
any and all material tax returns required to be filed by it under applicable
federal, state, local and foreign Law, except where the failure to failure to
do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The reserves for taxes contained in the
financial statements of the Operating Partnership or carried on the books and
records of the Operating Partnership are in the aggregate adequate to cover all
tax liabilities and deferred taxes of the Operating Partnership and the Company
Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement, except to the extent that any
inadequacy could not in the aggregate reasonably have a Material Adverse
Effect.  Commencing with its initial
taxable year beginning on the business day prior to the Closing Date and ending
December 31, 2005, the Company will be organized in conformity with the requirements
for qualification as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) pursuant to
Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);
the Company’s proposed method of operation as described in the Registration
Statement and in the Prospectus will enable it to meet the requirements for
qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code; and all statements in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus regarding the Company’s qualification
and taxation as a REIT are true, complete and correct in all material respects.

               Section 3.18   Non-Integration.  None of the Company, the Operating
Partnership nor any of their respective affiliates has, prior to the date
hereof, made any offer or sale of any securities which could be “integrated”
for purposes of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations with the offer
and sale of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.  Except as disclosed in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, none of the Company, the Operating Partnership
nor any of their respective affiliates has sold or issued any Common Stock or
other security of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary or
any security convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock
or any other such security during the six-month period preceding the date of
the Prospectus, including but not limited to any sales pursuant to Rule 144A or
Regulation D or S under the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations.

Section 3.19  Affiliations.  No relationship, direct or indirect, exists
between or among any of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Manager or
any of their respective affiliates, on the one hand, and any director, officer,
stockholder, tenant or supplier of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the
Manager or any of their respective affiliates, on the other hand, which is
required by the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations to be described in
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which is not so described and

advances for business expenses in the ordinary course of business) or
guarantees of indebtedness by the Company or the Operating Partnership to or
for the benefit of any of the officers or directors of the Company or the
Operating Partnership or any of their respective family members, except as
disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

contemplated by this Agreement, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus,
and after giving effect to

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.01.        Generally.  Subject to the limitations and other
provisions of this Article IX, the Company covenants and agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Investor and its directors, officers,
shareholders, employees and agents (each, an “Investor Party”) from and against
any and all Losses resulting from, incurred in connection with or arising out
of (a) any breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant of the
Company contained herein, or (b) the failure of the Company to perform any of
the agreements, covenants or obligations of the Company contained herein (other
than if any such claim was a result of a breach by the Investor under this
Agreement).  Subject to the limitations
and other provisions of this Article IX, the Investor covenants and agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company from and against (but only to
the extent of) any and all Losses resulting from, incurred in connection with or
arising out of (but only to the extent of) (a) any breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Investor contained herein,
or (b) the failure of the Investor to perform any of the agreements, covenants
or obligations of the Investor contained herein.  The term “Loss” or any similar term
shall mean any and all damages, reduction in value of the original investment
in the Shares, deficiencies, costs, claims, fines, judgments, amounts paid in
settlement, expenses of investigation, interest, penalties, assessments,
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and auditors’ fees and
disbursements, witness fees and court costs). 
The party or parties being indemnified are referred to herein as the “Indemnitee”
and the indemnifying party is referred to herein as the “Indemnitor.”

Section 9.02.        Indemnification Procedure.

(a)           Any
party who receives notice of a potential claim that may, in the judgment of
such party, result in a Loss shall use all reasonable efforts to provide the parties
hereto notice thereof, provided that failure or delay or alleged delay in
providing such notice shall not adversely affect such party’s right to
indemnification hereunder, unless and then only to

 

17

 

the extent that such failure or delay or alleged delay
has resulted in actual prejudice to the Indemnitor, including, without
limitation, by the expiration of a statute of limitations.  In the event that any party shall incur or
suffer any Losses in respect of which indemnification may be sought by such
party hereunder, the Indemnitee shall assert a claim for indemnification by
written notice (a “Notice”) to the Indemnitor stating the nature and
basis of such claim.  In the case of
Losses arising by reason of any third party claim, the Notice shall be given
within thirty (30) days of the filing or other written assertion of any such
claim against the Indemnitee, but the failure of the Indemnitee to give the
Notice within such time period shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any
liability that the Indemnitor may have to the Indemnitee, except to the extent
that the Indemnitor demonstrates that the defense of such action has been
materially prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to timely give such Notice.

(b)           In
the case of third party claims for which indemnification is sought, the
Indemnitor shall, if necessary, retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnitee, and have the option (i) to conduct any proceedings or negotiations
in connection therewith, (ii) to take all other steps to settle or defend any
such claim (provided that the Indemnitor shall not settle any such claim
without the consent of the Indemnitee which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld) and (iii) to employ counsel to contest any such claim or liability in
the name of the Indemnitee or otherwise. 
In any event, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate at its own
expense and by its own counsel in any proceedings relating to any third party
claim.  The Indemnitor shall, within 15
Business Days of receipt of the Notice, notify the Indemnitee of its intention
to assume the defense of such claim.  If
(i) the Indemnitor shall decline to assume the defense of any such claim, (ii)
the Indemnitor shall fail to notify the Indemnitee within 15 Business Days
after receipt of the Notice of the Indemnitor’s election to defend such claim,
(iii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses
available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to
the Indemnitor (in which case the Indemnitor shall not have the right to direct
the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnitee), or (iv) a conflict
exists between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee which the Indemnitee has
reasonably concluded would prejudice the Indemnitor’s defense of such action,
then in each such case the Indemnitor shall not have the right to direct the
defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee shall, at
the sole expense of the Indemnitor, defend against such claim and (x) in the
event of a circumstance described in clause (i) and (ii), the Indemnitee may
settle such claim without the consent of the Indemnitor (and the Indemnitor may
not challenge the reasonableness of any such settlement) and (y) in the event
of a circumstance described in clause (iii) and (iv), the Indemnitee may not
settle such claim without the consent of the Indemnitor (which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
The reasonable expenses of all proceedings, contests or lawsuits in
respect of such claims shall be borne and paid by the Indemnitor if the
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder and the Indemnitor shall
pay the Indemnitee, in immediately available funds, the amount of any Losses,
within a reasonable time of the incurrence of such Losses.  Regardless of which party shall assume the
defense or negotiation of the settlement of the claim, the parties agree to
cooperate fully with one another in connection therewith.  In the event that any Losses incurred by the
Indemnitee do not involve payment by the Indemnitee of a third party claim,
then, the Indemnitor shall, within 20 days after written notice from the
Indemnitee specifying the amount of Losses, pay to the Indemnitee, in
immediately available funds, the amount of such Losses.  Anything in this Article IX to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Indemnitor shall not, without the Indemnitee’s prior
written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any

 

18

 

judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future
obligation on the Indemnitee or which does not include, as an unconditional
term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee, a
release from all liability in respect of such claim.

Section 9.03.                       Limitations on Indemnification.

                Neither party shall be entitled
to be indemnified hereunder unless and until the aggregate of all Losses
incurred by such party shall exceed $50,000 (the “Basket”); provided,
however, that the Basket shall not apply to any Losses incurred by such party
with respect to any third party claim against such party for which such party
is entitled to indemnity pursuant to Section 9.01.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the liability of (i) the Company under this Article IX shall
be limited to an amount equal to the Purchase Price; and (ii) the Investor
under this Article IX shall be limited to an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

First Union Real Estate Equity and Mortgage Investments, an Ohio business trust
(“First Union”), and Ashner (the “First Union Agreement”), Ashner agreed,
subject to certain conditions, to offer to First Union all Business
Opportunities (as defined in the First Union Agreement) offered to him during
the period that he is serving either as an executive officer of First Union or
as a member of the Board of Trustees of First Union;

WHEREAS, pursuant to that
certain Acquisition Agreement, dated of even date herewith, between the Company
and First Union (the “Acquisition Agreement”), simultaneously herewith First

the First Union Agreement solely with respect to Business Opportunities related
to Net Lease Assets (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement);

WHEREAS, it is a
condition to the Company entering into the Acquisition Agreement that Ashner

provided for in the Acquisition Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms
of the First Union Agreement as in effect on the date hereof.

Section 1.2             No Modification.  Ashner covenants and agrees that he will not
consent to any amendment or modification of the First Union Agreement to the
extent such amendment or modification would relieve Ashner of his obligations

written consent of the Company.

Section 1.3             Representations and Warranties.  Ashner represents and warrants to the Company

consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;

 

(ii)           The First Union Agreement was, and
this Agreement has been, duly executed and delivered by Ashner and each such
agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Ashner,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
subject to the effects of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’
rights generally and subject to the effects of general equitable principles;

 

(iii)          The rights granted by Ashner to First
Union pursuant to the First Union Agreement were granted free and clear of any
lien or other encumbrance.

 

Article II

Net Lease Business
Opportunities

Section 2.1             Net Lease Business Opportunity.  If the Acquisition Agreement is terminated

lease has a remaining term, exclusive of all unexercised renewal terms, of more
than 18 months, (ii) management agreements and master leases with terms of
greater than three years where a manager or master lessee bears all operating

invested in assets that meet the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii), and (iv)
all retenanting and redevelopment associated with such properties, agreements
and leases, and all activities incidental thereto.  “Exclusivity Period” means all times during
which Ashner:  (i) serves as an executive
officer of the Company; (ii) serves as a member of the Company’s board of
directors; or (iii) is the controlling equityholder, directly or indirectly, of
the external advisor to the Company.

Investments.  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, none of the following shall be deemed a Net
Lease Business Opportunity (each, a “Permitted Investment”):

(i)                               investments in equity securities of
publicly traded real estate entities in an amount not to exceed two percent
(2%) of the outstanding equity securities of such entity;

 

2

 

(ii)                            passive investments in real estate
entities where the investment does not represent the greater of a 10% equity
interest in the entity or $1,500,000; and

 

(iii)                         investments which
relate to assets that are then currently held by entities set forth on Schedule
