     1. The Company hereby authorizes the Holder to file such financing
statements and such other documents as the Holder may deem necessary or
desirable to protect or perfect the interest of the Holder in the Collateral,
and appoints the Holder as the Company's attorney-in-fact, with a power of
attorney to execute on behalf of the Company such UCC financing statement forms
and other similar instruments as the Holder may from time to time deem necessary
or desirable to protect or perfect such interests in the Collateral. Such power
of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition,
the Company agrees to make, execute, deliver or cause to be done, executed and
delivered all such further acts, documents and things as the Holder may
reasonably require for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the rights of the
Holder hereunder or otherwise giving effect to this Agreement, all promptly upon
request therefor.

     2. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder that:

          (a) the execution of this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms
     hereof will not result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or
     constitute a default under, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or
     other organizational documents, as applicable, as presently in effect, or
     any order, rule or regulation, applicable to the Company, of any court or
     of any federal or state regulatory body or administrative agency or other
     governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, or result in the
     termination or cancellation or breach of any indenture, mortgage, deed of
     trust, deed to secure debt, lease or other agreement or instrument to which
     the Company is a party or by which it is bound or affected;

          (b) the Company has taken all necessary corporate action, as
     applicable, to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and
     this Agreement, when executed and delivered, will be the valid and binding
     obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance
     with its terms, subject only to the following qualifications:

                                       3
<PAGE>

               (i) certain equitable remedies are discretionary and, in
          particular, may not be available where damages are considered an
          adequate remedy at law, and

               (ii) enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
          liquidation, reorganization, reconstruction and other similar laws
          affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally (insofar as any
          such law relates to the bankruptcy, insolvency or similar event of the
          Company).

          (c) Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
     reference sets forth a complete and accurate list of the Contracts in
     effect on the date hereof which provide for aggregate payments over the
     life of each such Contract in excess of $100,000 or which are otherwise
     material to the Company, and the Company will furnish copies thereof to the
     Holder; and

          (d) Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
     reference sets forth a complete and accurate list of all Leases providing
     for aggregate payments over the life of any single Lease in excess of
     $100,000 to which the Company is a party in effect on the date hereof, and
     the Company will furnish copies thereof to the Holder.

     3. The Company further represents and warrants that, upon the filing of
UCC-1 financing statements in the jurisdictions set forth on Exhibit C attached
hereto, the Security Interest in the Collateral granted hereunder shall
constitute at all times a valid first priority security interest, perfected with
respect to all Collateral for which the filing of the UCC-1 financing statements
is a valid method of perfection, vested in the Holder, in and upon the
Collateral, free of any Liens (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) except
for Permitted Liens(as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement). The Company
shall take or cause to be taken such acts and actions as shall be necessary or
appropriate to assure that the Security Interest in the Collateral shall not
become subordinate or junior to the security interests, liens or claims of any
other Person, and that the Collateral shall not otherwise be or become subject
to any Lien, except for Permitted Liens.

     4. The Company further represents and warrants that it now keeps all of its
records concerning its Accounts, Contracts, Leases, Other Contracts, Intangibles
and other Collateral at its chief executive office, which is at the address set
forth with respect to the Company in Section 7 of the Note. The Company
covenants and agrees that it shall not change its chief executive offices or
keep any of such records at any other address, unless written notice thereof is
given to the Holder at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the creation of
any new address for the keeping of such records. The Company further agrees that
it shall give the Holder, in writing making reference to this Section 4 of this
Agreement, prior written notice of the opening of any new material place of
business, the closing of any existing material place of business or any change
in

                                        4
<PAGE>

the location of the place where it keeps the Collateral. The Company further
represents and warrants that all names and addresses under and at which it has
operated and owned the Collateral for the five (5) year period prior to the date
hereof are listed on Exhibit D attached hereto.

     5. The parties intend that the Collateral shall remain personal property
irrespective of the manner of its attachment or affixation to realty.

     6. Any and all injury to, or loss or destruction of, the Collateral shall
be at the Company's risk and shall not release the Company from its obligations
hereunder. The Company agrees not to sell, transfer, assign, dispose of,
mortgage, grant a security interest in or encumber any of the Collateral, except
as may be permitted under the Note or the Note Purchase Agreement. The Company
agrees to maintain in force insurance with respect to the Collateral. The
Company agrees to pay all required taxes, liens and assessments upon the
Collateral, its use or operation. The Company further agrees that the Holder
may, but shall in no event be obligated to, insure any of the Collateral in such
form and amount as the Holder may deem necessary or desirable if the Company
fails to obtain insurance, and that the Holder may pay or discharge any taxes or
liens on any of the Collateral, and the Company agrees to pay any such sum so
expended by the Holder and such sums and such interest shall be deemed to be a
part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral under the terms of this
Agreement.

     7. The Company shall (a) give prompt notice to the Holder of any claim of
default under any Contract, Other Contract or Lease given to the Company or by
the Company, and (b) appear in and defend any action growing out of or in any
manner connected with any Contract, Other Contract or Lease. The rights and
interests granted to the Holder hereunder include all of the Company's rights
and title (i) to modify the Contracts, the Other Contracts and the Leases, (ii)
to terminate the Contracts, the Other Contracts and the Leases, and (iii) to
waive or release the performance or observance of any obligation or condition of
the Contracts, the Other Contracts and the Leases.

     8. (a) The Holder shall have such (i) rights and remedies as are set forth
in the Note and herein, (ii) all the rights, powers and privileges of a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York or any other
applicable jurisdiction and (iii) all other rights and remedies available to the
Holder at law or in equity. The Company covenants and agrees that any
notification of intended disposition of any Collateral, if such notice is
required by law, shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if given in the
manner provided for in Section 18 hereof at least ten (10) calendar days prior
to such disposition. (b) The Holder shall have the right to the appointment of a
receiver for the properties and assets of the Company, and the Company hereby
consents to such rights and to such appointment and hereby waives any objection
the Company may have thereto and hereby waives the right to have a bond or other
security posted by the Holder or any other Person in connection therewith. The
Company agrees to take any actions that the Holder may reasonably request in
order to enable the Holder to obtain

                                        5
<PAGE>

and enjoy the full rights and benefits granted to the Holder under this
Agreement, the Note and the Note Purchase Agreement.

     9. The Holder (or its designee) may proceed to perform any and all of the
obligations of the Company contained in any of the Contracts, Other Contracts or
Leases and exercise any and all rights of the Company therein contained as fully
as the Company itself could. The Company hereby appoints the Holder its
attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution, to take such action, execute such
documents, and perform such work, as the Holder may deem appropriate in exercise
of the rights and remedies granted the Holder herein. The powers herein granted
shall include, but not be limited to, the power to: (i) sue on the Contracts,
the Other Contracts or the Leases; (ii) seek all governmental approvals required
for the operation of the business of the Company; (iii) modify or terminate the
Contracts, the Other Contracts and the Leases; and (iv) waive or release the
performance or observance of any obligation under any of the Contracts, Other
Contracts or Leases. The power of attorney granted herein is coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable.

     10. Should the Company fail to perform or observe any covenant or comply
with any condition contained in any of the Contracts, the Other Contracts or the
Leases in any material respect, then the Holder may, but without obligation to
do so and without releasing the Company from its obligation to do so, perform
such covenant or condition and, to the extent that the Holder shall incur any
costs or pay any expenses in connection therewith, including any costs or
expenses of litigation associated therewith, such costs, expenses or payments
shall be included in the Obligations secured hereby. The Holder shall not be
obliged to perform or discharge any obligation of the Company under any of the
Contracts, the Other Contracts or the Leases, and the Company agrees to
indemnify and hold the Holder harmless from and against any and all liability,
loss or damage which the Holder may incur under any of the Contracts, the Other
Contracts or the Leases or under or by reason of this Agreement, and any and all
claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against the Company by
reason of an act of the Holder under any of the terms of this Agreement or under
the Contracts, the Other Contracts or the Leases.

     11. The Company hereby further appoints the Holder as its attorney-in-fact,
with power of substitution, with authority to collect all Accounts, to endorse
the name of the Company on any note, acceptance, check, draft, money order or
other evidence of debt or of payment which constitutes a portion of the
Collateral and which may come into the possession of the Holder, and generally
to do such other things and acts in the name of the Company with respect to the
Collateral as are necessary or appropriate to protect or enforce the rights
hereunder of the Holder. The Company further authorizes the Holder to compromise
and settle or to sell, assign or transfer or to ask, collect, receive or issue
any and all claims possessed by the Company which constitute a portion of the
Collateral, all in the name of the Company. After deducting all reasonable
expenses and charges (including the Holder's reasonable attorneys' fees) of
retaking, keeping, storing and selling the Collateral, the Holder may apply the
proceeds in payment of any of the

                                       6
<PAGE>

Obligations in any order of application determined by the Holder. The power of
attorney granted herein is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
The Company agrees that if steps are taken by the Holder to enforce its rights
hereunder, or to realize upon any of the Collateral, the Company shall pay to
the Holder the amount of the Holder's costs, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, and the Company's obligation to pay such amounts shall be deemed to be a
part of the Obligations secured hereunder.

     12. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holder and any other
person acting hereunder for all losses, costs, damages, fees and expenses
whatsoever associated with the exercise of the powers of attorney granted with
respect to its Collateral herein; and shall release the Holder and any other
person acting hereunder from all liability whatsoever for the exercise of the
foregoing powers of attorney and all actions taken pursuant thereto, except for
actions involving gross negligence and willful misconduct.

     13. The Company agrees that the rights of the Holder under this Agreement,
the Note or any other contract or agreement now or hereafter in existence
between the Holder and the Company and the other obligors thereunder, or any of
them, shall be cumulative, and that the Holder may from time to time exercise
such rights and such remedies as such person or persons may have thereunder and
under the laws of the United States or any state, as applicable, in the manner
and at the time that the person or persons in its or their sole discretion
desire, subject to the terms of such agreements. The Company further expressly
agrees that the Holder shall in no event be under any obligation to resort to
any Collateral secured hereby prior to exercising any other rights that the
Holder may have against the Company or its property, nor shall the Holder be
obliged to resort to any other collateral or security for the Obligations, other
than the Collateral, prior to any exercise of the Holder's rights against the
Company and its property hereunder.

     14. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Obligations arose out of a
commercial transaction and agrees that upon the occurrence or during the
continuation of a payment default or breach by the Company under any agreement
between the Company and the Holder, including, without limitation, the Note and
the Note Purchase Agreement (any such occurrence may be referred to hereafter as
a "Default"), the Holder shall have the right to immediate possession without
notice or a hearing, and hereby knowingly and intelligently waives any and all
rights it may have to any notice and posting of a bond by the Holder prior to
seizure by the Holder, or any of its transferees, assigns or successors in
interest, of the Collateral or any portion thereof.

     15. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment or termination of this
Agreement or of the Note or the Note Purchase Agreement, or of any instrument or
document executed and delivered by the Company or any other obligor to the
Holder nor additional advances made by the Holder to the Company, nor the taking
of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to the
Company by the Holder nor any other act of the Holder shall release the Company
from any Obligation, except a

                                       7
<PAGE>

release or discharge executed in writing by the Holder with respect to such
Obligation or upon full payment and satisfaction of all Obligations. The Holder
shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived
any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and
signed by the Holder and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by
the Holder of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a
bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which it would otherwise have
had on any other occasion.

     16. The Company agrees that this Agreement and the rights hereunder may in
the discretion of the Holder, as applicable, be assigned in whole or in part in
connection with any assignment of the Note and the Note Purchase Agreement, or
either of them, or the indebtedness evidenced thereby, as permitted thereunder.

     17. This Agreement shall apply to and bind the respective successors and
permitted assigns of the Company and inure to the benefit of the successors and
permitted assigns of the Holder.

     18. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be given in a fashion and at the addresses
prescribed in Section 7 of the Note.

     19. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with
the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to
be performed wholly within the State of New York. This Agreement, together with
all documents referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement among the
Company and the Holder with respect to the matters addressed herein and may not
be modified except by a writing executed by the Holder and the Company.

     20. If any paragraph or part thereof of this Agreement shall for any reason
be held or adjudged to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such paragraph or part thereof so adjudicated invalid,
illegal or unenforceable shall be deemed separate, distinct and independent, and
the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall
not be affected by such holding or adjudication.

     21. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which, including counterparts delivered by facsimile, shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such separate counterparts shall together constitute but one
and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement
by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of an originally
executed counterpart hereto.

     22. The Company and the Holder intend this Agreement to remain in full
force and effect until the later of (a) such time as the Note may be converted
pursuant to Section 2 of the Note or (b) payment in full by the Company of all
amounts owing to Holder under the Note, the Note Purchase Agreement or this
Agreement; provided that

                                       8
<PAGE>

the Holder shall take no action with respect to Sections 9, 10, 11 and 14 of
this Agreement except upon the occurrence or during the continuation of a
Default.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Employment Agreement") is entered into
as of the 1st day of April, 1999 between KONOVER PROPERTY TRUST, INC., a
Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and SUZANNE LEVIN RICE (the "Executive")
for employment commencing on the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined).

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, the Company seeks to employ the Executive as Senior Vice
President of the Company and the Executive agrees to be so employed.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein
contained, the parties agree as follows:

         1.       Employment.

                  (a) The Company hereby employs the Executive as Senior Vice
President of the Company and the Executive hereby accepts such employment, on
the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

                  (b) During the term of her employment under this Employment
Agreement and any extension hereof (all references herein to the term of this
Employment Agreement shall include any extension hereof), the Executive shall be
and have the title of Senior Vice President of the Company and shall devote her
entire business time (not less than 40 hours per week in the aggregate) and all
reasonable efforts to her employment hereunder, and shall perform diligently
such duties, as are customarily devoted or performed by senior vice-presidents
of companies similar in size to the Company, together with such other duties as
may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Board of Directors of the
Company, which duties shall be consistent with her position as set forth above
and as provided in Paragraph 2; provided, however, that business activities by
the Executive with respect to passive investments, so long as such activities do
not, alone or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the Executive's
performance of her duties as described in this Paragraph l(b), will not be
deemed inconsistent with the requirements of this Paragraph l(b); and, provided,
further, however, that the parties hereto acknowledge that Executive will be
employed as President of RMC/Konover Property Trust LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, and agree that any business time and efforts devoted by
Executive as President of RMC/Konover Property Trust shall not be deemed
inconsistent with the requirements of this Paragraph 1(b).

                  (c) As the Company is headquartered in North Carolina and
Executive will work from the Company's Tampa, Florida office for the Company,
the parties agree to work together to mutually accommodate both Executive and
the Company.

written notice to the other at least thirty (30) days before the Expiration Date
or any subsequent annual anniversary thereof, that this Employment Agreement
shall not be so extended but shall terminate upon the expiration of the
then-existing term (for example, unless such written notice of non-extension is
given on or prior to January 29, 2002, the term of this Employment Agreement
automatically will be extended until February 28, 2005).

                  (b) The Executive shall be entitled to serve as Senior Vice
President of the Company. For service as an officer and employee of the Company,
the Executive shall be entitled to the full protection of the applicable
indemnification provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and

indemnifications shall remain effective after termination of this Employment
Agreement with respect to Executive's actions and inactions during the term
hereof.

                  (c)      If:

                           (i) the Company materially changes the Executive's

         more than five (5) miles from the existing office of the Company
         located at 1733 W. Fletcher Avenue, Tampa, Florida without her consent;

                           (iii) there occurs a material breach by the Company
         of any of its obligations under this Employment Agreement, which breach
         has not been cured in all material respects within ten (10) days after
         the Executive gives notice thereof to the Company;

then in any such event the Executive shall have the right to terminate her
employment with the Company, but such termination shall not be considered a
voluntary resignation or termination of such employment or of this Employment
Agreement by the Executive but rather a discharge of the Executive by the
Company "without cause" pursuant to Paragraph 5(a)(iii). The Executive may
exercise such right of termination at any time within three (3) months following
the occurrence of the applicable event described in (i) and (iii) of this
Paragraph 2(c), and within six (6) months following the occurrence of the
applicable event described in (ii) of this Paragraph 2(c).

                  (d) The Executive shall be deemed not to have consented to any
written proposal calling for a material change in her duties and
responsibilities unless she shall give written notice of her consent thereto to
the Board of the Company within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written
proposal. If the Executive shall not have given such consent, the Company shall
have the opportunity to withdraw such proposed material change by written notice
to the Executive given within ten (10) days after the end of said fifteen (15)
day period.

         3.       Compensation.

                  During the term of her employment under this Employment
Agreement the Company shall pay or provide, as the case may be, to the Executive
the compensation and other benefits and rights set forth in this Paragraph 3.
All restricted stock given as compensation shall be subject to the Company's
1996 Restricted Stock Plan.

                  (a) Annual Base Salary. The Company shall pay to the Executive
a base salary payable in accordance with the Company's usual pay practices (and
in any event no less frequently than monthly) of (i) cash payments of One
Hundred Thirty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($130,000.00) per annum and (ii) such
increases (but not decreases) from time to time (based upon the performance of
the Company and the Executive) as determined by the Board or the Company's
Executive Compensation Committee.

                  (b) Guaranteed Annual Bonus. For each of the twelve (12) month
periods ending on the last day of February 2000, 2001 and 2002, the Company
shall pay to the Executive a cash bonus of One Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Six
Hundred Sixty Seven and No/100 Dollars ($166,667.00). The bonus payable pursuant
to this Paragraph 3(b) shall be paid to Executive in equal semi-annual
installments on the last day of August and February throughout the period to
which such bonus relates. For example, the bonus to which Executive is entitled
for the twelve (12) month period ending on February 29, 2000, shall be paid
fifty percent (50%) on August 31, 1999, and fifty percent (50%) on February 29,
2000.

                  (c) Discretionary Annual Bonus. In addition to the other
amounts described in this Paragraph 3, the Company may pay to the Executive
bonus compensation on a calendar year basis pursuant to the terms of the
incentive compensation plan established by the Board from time to time, not
later than March 1 following each calendar year. Such bonus compensation may be
payable in the form of cash or Common Stock of the Company. In the event such
bonus is paid in the form of Common Stock, the determination of shares issued
may be based on the cash equivalent divided by the market price of the Common
Stock on or about the date of determination of the bonus compensation by the
Board. Such shares will be increased by 50%, and such shares shall automatically
vest on the third anniversary of the date of issuance (for example, March 1,
2003 for shares issued March 1, 2000) unless the Executive

                                       3
<PAGE>
voluntarily terminates her employment prior to such anniversary date or her
employment is terminated for "cause" (see Paragraph 5 (a) (ii)).

                  (d)      Employee Benefits.

                           (i) The Company shall provide to the Executive such
         medical, hospitalization and dental insurance for herself, her spouse
         and eligible family members, as may be available to other officers of
         the Company and term life insurance in the amount of not less than
         $325,000.

                           (ii) The Executive shall participate in all
         retirement and other benefit plans of the Company generally available
         from time to time to officers of the Company and for which the
         Executive qualifies under the terms thereof (and nothing in this
         Employment Agreement shall or shall be deemed to in any way affect the
         Executive's rights and benefits thereunder except as expressly provided
         herein).

                           (iii) The Executive shall be entitled to such periods
         of vacation and sick leave allowance each year as are determined by the
         Company's Executive Compensation Committee for officers generally;
         provided that Executive shall be entitled to not less than six weeks
         (thirty days) of vacation each year, of which four weeks (twenty days)
         shall be compensated.

                           (iv) The Executive shall be entitled to participate
         in any equity or other employee benefit plan that is generally
         available to senior executive officers, as distinguished from general
         management, of the Company. The Executive's participation in and
         benefits under any such plan shall be on the terms and subject to the
         conditions specified in the governing document of the particular plan.

                  (e) Expense Reimbursement. The Company shall reimburse the
Executive or provide her with an expense allowance during the term of this
Employment Agreement for travel, entertainment and other expenses reasonably and
necessarily incurred by the Executive in connection with the Company's business,
including all cellular phone charges. The Executive shall furnish such
documentation with respect to reimbursement to be paid hereunder as the Company
shall reasonably request.

                  (f) Registered Commissions Payable. Executive shall be
entitled to twenty percent (20%) of the gross commissions listed on Exhibit A
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (as such Exhibit may
be amended from time to time by the mutual agreement of the parties), as and
when such commissions are received by the Company and/or any Affiliate thereof.

                  (g) Development Deals. Executive shall be a twenty five
percent (25%) partner (defined as having twenty five percent (25%) of the
Company's ownership

                                       4
<PAGE>
interest) with respect to the land development deals listed on Exhibit B
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (as such Exhibit may
be amended from time to time by the mutual agreement of the parties). Executive
may, at her sole discretion, amend Exhibit B prior to March 31, 2000 to replace
up to four (4) of the land development deals listed on Exhibit B with other land
development deals prior to March 31, 2001. The parties hereto acknowledge and
agree that (x) neither the Company nor any Affiliate thereof will be entitled to
participate in the ownership of any of the land development deals listed on
Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (provided,
however, that the Company shall be entitled to participate in the development
fees for such deals), and (y) any participation by Executive with respect to
such land development deals, and any efforts of Executive in connection
therewith, shall not be deemed to violate any provisions of this Employment
Agreement.

                  (h) Redevelopment Deals. Executive shall be entitled to (x) a
cash payment of One Hundred Sixty Two Thousand five hundred and No/100 Dollars
($162,500.00) on the Effective Date, and (y) thirty two and one half percent
(32.5%) of all project development fees earned by the Company and/or any
Affiliate thereof prior to the Expiration Date with respect to third-party
development deals, as and when such fees are received by the Company or such
Affiliate, as the case may be; provided, however, that the cash payment
described in clause (x) shall be treated as an advance of amounts to which
Executive is entitled pursuant to clause (y); and, provided further, that the
aggregate amount payable to Executive pursuant to this Paragraph 3(h) shall not
exceed Six Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($650,000.00). For purposes
of this Agreement, the term "third-party" shall mean any person in which the
Company does not have a direct ownership interest. At the discretion of the
Company, the amounts payable to Executive pursuant to clause (y) of the
preceding sentence may be paid in the form of cash or stock of the Company.

                  (i) Additional Management Fees. If, at any time prior to the
second anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive procures any new fee-managed
third-party business for the Company, then, upon the execution of the management
contract with respect to such new business, Executive shall be entitled to a
lump-sum fee of two hundred percent (200%) of the annual net profit to be
realized by the Company pursuant to such contract. For purposes of determining
"annual net profit," the Company shall apply a cost factor of 2%. For example,
if the annual gross management fee to the Company is 5%, the annual net profit
shall be 5% minus 2%, or 3%, and the lump-sum fee payable to Executive shall be
6%, one-quarter of which shall be payable on the six-month anniversary date of
the management contract, provided the management contract is still in effect,
otherwise no payment shall be due, one-quarter of which shall be payable on the
one-year anniversary date of the management contract, provided the management
contract is still in effect, otherwise no payment shall be due, one quarter of
which shall be payable on the eighteen-month anniversary date of the management
contract, provided the management contract is still in effect, otherwise no
payment shall be due, and the remaining one-quarter shall be payable on the
two-year anniversary date of the

                                       5
<PAGE>
management contract, provided the management contract is still in effect,
otherwise no payment shall be due.

                  (j)      Property Sales.

                           (i) If, on or before the fifth (5th) anniversary of
         the Effective Date, the Company or any Affiliate thereof acquires any
         properties owned by Publix Supermarkets, Inc., or any Affiliate
         thereof, then, on the closing date of such acquisition, (x) Rice Realty
         Group, Inc., or its assignee, shall be entitled to a fee (but only if
         such acquisition is effected through an outside broker), and (y)
         Executive shall be entitled to a fee (if such acquisition is not
         effected through an outside broker), in each case equal to one percent
         (1%) of the gross purchase price paid for such properties by the
         Company or such Affiliate, as the case may be. In addition, if the
         Company has entered into substantial negotiations with respect to any
         such acquisition prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective
         Date, then such fees shall be payable upon the closing of such
         acquisition (even if such closing takes place after the fifth (5th)
         anniversary of the Effective Date). If the Company would be placed at a
         competitive disadvantage with respect to any proposed acquisition by
         the payment of any fee that would be payable to Rice Realty Group,
         Inc., or its assignee, pursuant to this Section 3(j)(i), with respect
         to such proposed acquisition, Rice Realty Group, Inc., or its assignee,
         will negotiate with the Company in good faith to modify its fee to the
         extent necessary to facilitate the proposed acquisition.

                           (ii) If, at any time prior to the Expiration Date,
         the Company or any Affiliate thereof acquires a property with respect
         to which RMC Realty Companies, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
         doing business in Florida as RMC Realty Companies, Ltd., was the
         third-party manager or leasing agent immediately prior to the Effective
         Date, then, on the closing date of such acquisition, Executive shall be
         entitled to a fee of one percent (1%) of the gross purchase price paid
         for such property by the Company or such Affiliate, as the case may be
         (or such other percentage as may be mutually agreed by the parties).

                           (iii) If Executive agrees to list with an outside
         broker any property owned by an entity of which Executive or any
         Affiliate of the Executive is the general partner, then Executive shall
         be entitled to fifty percent (50%) of any fees received by the Company
         and/or any Affiliate thereof with respect to the sale of such property,
         as and when such fees are received by the Company or such Affiliate, as
         the case may be.

                           (iv) If the Company or any Affiliate thereof
         purchases a property from an entity of which Executive is the managing
         general partner, then, on the closing date of such transaction,
         Executive shall be entitled to a fee of one percent (1%) of the gross
         purchase price paid for such property by the Company or such Affiliate,
         as the case may be).

                                       6
<PAGE>
                  (k) Fees Not Cumulative. The fees and other compensation
described Paragraphs 3(f), (g), (h), (i) and (j) are not intended to be
cumulative; provided, however, that if Executive would be entitled to a fee
pursuant to more than one of such sections with respect to any particular
transaction, Executive shall be entitled to whichever of such fees would result
in the greatest payment to Executive.

                  (l) Definition of Affiliate. For purposes of this Employment
Agreement, (x) the term "Affiliate" of any person any person or entity directly
or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under direct or indirect common
control with such person and (y) the term "control" shall mean the possession,
directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the
management or policies of a person or entity, whether through the ownership of
voting securities, general partner interests, by contract or otherwise, and the
terms "controlling" or "controlled" shall have meanings correlative thereto. The
term "Affiliate" of the Company shall be deemed to include RMC/Konover Property
Trust LLC.

         4.       Payment in the Event of Death or Permanent Disability.

                  (a) In the event of the Executive's death or "permanent
disability" (as hereinafter defined) during the term of her employment under
this Employment Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Executive (or her
personal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns in the event of her
death) an amount equal to (i) two (2) times the Executive's then effective
annual base salary, as determined under Paragraph 3(a), plus (ii) the balance of
the payments to which Executive is entitled pursuant to Paragraph 3(b) through
the Expiration Date, plus (iii) a pro rata portion of the bonus applicable to
the calendar year in which such death or permanent disability occurs, as such
bonus is determined under Paragraph 3(c).

                  (b) The pro rata portion of the bonus described in Paragraph
4(a) shall be paid when and as provided in Paragraph 3(c). The remainder of the
benefit to be paid pursuant to Paragraph 4(a) shall be paid within ninety (90)
days after the date of death or permanent disability, as the case may be.

                  (c) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 2(b), 3(d),
4(a), 4(b), and 8, and 11, in the event of the Executive's death or permanent
disability, the Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate and the
Executive shall be entitled to no further compensation or other benefits under
this Employment Agreement, except as to that portion of any unpaid salary and
other benefits accrued and earned by her hereunder up to and including the date
of such death or permanent disability, as the case may be, or pursuant to any
agreement between the Company and the Executive related to any Restricted Shares
or Stock Options held by the Executive.

                  (d) For purposes of this Employment Agreement, the Executive's
"permanent disability" shall be deemed to have occurred after one hundred twenty
(120) days in the aggregate during any consecutive twelve (12) month period, or
after ninety

                                       7
<PAGE>
(90) consecutive days, during which one hundred twenty (120) or ninety (90)
days, as the case may be, the Executive, by reason of her physical or mental
disability or illness, shall have been unable to discharge her duties under this
Employment Agreement. The date of permanent disability shall be such one hundred
twentieth (120th) or ninetieth (90th) day, as the case may be. In the event
either the Company or the Executive, after receipt of notice of the Executive's
permanent disability from the other, dispute that the Executive's permanent
disability shall have occurred, the Executive shall promptly submit to a
physical examination by the chief of medicine of any major accredited hospital
in the Tampa, Florida, area and, unless such physician shall issue a written
statement to the effect that in his/her opinion, based on his/her diagnosis, the
Executive is capable of resuming her employment and devoting her full time and
energy to discharging her duties within thirty (30) days after the date of such
statement, such permanent disability shall be deemed to have occurred.

         5.       Termination.

                  (a) The employment of the Executive under this Employment
Agreement, and the term hereof, may be terminated by the Company:

                           (i) on the death or permanent disability (as defined
         above) of the Executive;

                           (ii) for "cause" at any time by action of the Board;
         or

                           (iii) "without cause" at any time by action of the
         Board.

         For purposes hereof, the term "cause" shall mean:

                  (A) The Executive's fraud, commission of a felony, commission
of an act or series of repeated acts of dishonesty which fraud, felony or
dishonesty is materially inimical to the best interests of the Company, or which
results in material injury to the business reputation of the Company, or the
Executive's willful and repeated failure to perform her duties under this
Employment Agreement, which failure has not been cured within fifteen (15) days
after the Company gives notice thereof to the Executive; or

                  (B) The Executive's material breach of any material provision
of this Employment Agreement, which breach has not been cured in all substantial
respects within ten (10) days after the Company gives notice thereof to the
Executive.

                  For purposes hereof, the term "without cause" shall mean any
reason other than those set forth in subparagraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this
Paragraph 5.

         The exercise by the Company of its rights of termination under this
Paragraph 5 shall be the Company's sole remedy in the event of the Executive's
termination, whether for "cause" or "without cause". Upon any termination of
this Employment Agreement, the

                                       8
<PAGE>
Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all offices and directorships
held by the Executive in the Company.

                  (b) The employment of the Executive under this Employment
Agreement, and the term hereof, may be terminated by the Executive at any time,
and for any reason.

                  (c) In the event of a termination claimed by the Company to be
for "cause" pursuant to Paragraph 5(a)(ii), the Executive shall have the right
to have the justification for said termination determined by arbitration in
Tampa, Florida. In order to exercise such right, the Executive shall serve on
the Company within thirty (30) days after termination a written request for
arbitration. The Company immediately shall request the appointment of a single
arbitrator by the American Arbitration Association and thereafter the question
of "cause" shall be determined under the rules of the American Arbitration
Association applicable to employment disputes, and the decision of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties except as otherwise
provided by the arbitrator. The parties shall use all reasonable efforts to
facilitate and expedite the arbitration and shall act to cause the arbitration
to be completed as promptly as possible. During the pendency of the arbitration,
the Executive shall continue to receive all compensation and benefits to which
she is entitled hereunder, and if at any time during the pendency of such
arbitration the Company fails to pay and provide all compensation and benefits
to the Executive in a timely manner the Company shall be deemed to have
automatically waived whatever rights it then may have had to terminate the
Executive's employment for cause. Expenses of the arbitration shall be borne
equally by the parties.

                  (d) In the event of termination pursuant to subparagraph
(a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b) of this Paragraph 5, except as otherwise provided in
Paragraphs 2(b), 2(c), 3(d), 4(a), 4(b) and 11, as applicable, the Executive
shall be entitled to no further compensation or other benefits under this
Employment Agreement, except as to that portion of any unpaid salary and other
benefits accrued and earned by her hereunder up to and including the effective
date of such termination.

                  (e) In the event of termination pursuant to Paragraph 2(c), or
subparagraph (a)(iii) of this Paragraph 5, the Executive (in addition to any
rights of the Executive to any restricted shares or stock options pursuant to
the terms of other agreements between the Executive and the Company) shall be
entitled to:

                           (i) severance pay payable within five (5) days of
         such termination in a lump sum equal to the sum of (A) the greater of
         (x) the total amount of unpaid base salary for the then-unexpired
         portion of the term of this Employment Agreement, including any
         extended term as provided by Section 2(a) hereof at the then-effective
         annual rate of salary, as determined under Paragraph 3(a) and (y) the
         amount of one year's base salary at the then-effective annual rate of
         salary, (B) the product of the number of years (including fractions)
         representing the unexpired term of this Employment Agreement (but not
         less than one) times

                                       9
<PAGE>
         an amount equal to the average of the annual bonuses payable to the
         Executive under Paragraph 3(c) for the three (3) full calendar years
         immediately prior to termination of this Employment Agreement in which
         a bonus was payable or such lesser number of full calendar years during
         which the Executive was employed hereunder for which a bonus was
         payable, and (C) the balance of the payments to which Executive is
         entitled pursuant to Paragraph 3(b) through the Expiration Date,

                           (ii) during a period equal to the greater of one (1)
         year or the unexpired term of this Employment Agreement, all other
         benefits to which the Executive would have been entitled during the
         term of this Employment Agreement had the Executive's employment not
         been terminated,

                           (iii) any other benefits accrued and earned by her
         hereunder up to and including the effective date of such termination.

                  (f) In the event of the termination of her employment pursuant
to Paragraph 2(c) or Paragraph 5(a)(iii), the Executive shall have the option to
be released from her obligations under Paragraph 6(a)(i), by releasing the
Company from its obligations under Paragraph 5(e) hereof (other than those
provided in Paragraph 5(e)(i)(C) and 5(e)(iii)). Such option may be exercised by
the Executive giving the Company notice thereof within five (5) days of such
termination.

                  (g) In no event shall the Executive have or be deemed to have
any duty to seek employment or otherwise mitigate damages with respect to any
amounts or benefits due to her upon termination of this Employment Agreement as
provided in this Paragraph 5, nor shall any such amount or benefits be reduced
by reason of any other compensation or benefits which the Executive may earn
following termination of this Employment Agreement.

         6.       Covenants and Confidential Information.

                  (a) The Executive acknowledges the Company's reliance and
expectation of the Executive's continued commitment to performance of her duties
and responsibilities during the time when she is employed under this Employment
Agreement. In light of such reliance and expectation on the part of the Company
(but subject to Paragraph 5(e), 5(f) and 5(g) above), the Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly:

                           (i) at any time prior to the date on which
         Executive's employment under this Agreement is terminated for any
         reason, own, manage, control or participate in the ownership,
         management, or control of, or be employed or engaged by or otherwise
         affiliated or associated as a consultant, independent contractor or
         otherwise with, any corporation, partnership, proprietorship, firm,
         association or other business entity (other than the Company

                                       10
<PAGE>
         or any Affiliate thereof) primarily engaged in the business of, or
         otherwise engage in the business of, acquiring, owning, developing or
         managing shopping centers in the United States; provided, however, that
         the ownership of not more than five percent (5%) of any class of
         securities (including general partner interests) of any entity shall
         not be deemed a violation of this covenant; or

                           (ii) at any time prior to the date on which
         Executive's employment under this Agreement is terminated for any
         reason disclose, divulge, discuss, copy or otherwise use or suffer to
         be used in any manner, in competition with, or contrary to the
         interests of, the Company, any confidential information relating to the
         Company's operations, properties or otherwise to its particular
         business or other trade secrets of the Company, it being acknowledged
         by the Executive that all such information regarding the business of
         the Company compiled or obtained by, or furnished to, the Executive
         while the Executive shall have been employed by or associated with the
         Company is confidential information and the Company's exclusive
         property; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not
         apply to the extent that such information (A) is obtainable in the
         public domain or known in the industry generally, (B) becomes
         obtainable in the public domain or known in the industry generally,
         except by reason of the breach by the Executive of the terms hereof,
         (c) was not acquired by the Executive in connection with her employment
         or affiliation with the Company, (D) was not acquired by the Executive
         from the Company or its representatives, or (E) is required to be
         disclosed by rule of law or by order of a court or governmental body or
         agency; or

                           (iii) at any time prior to the later of (x) the date
         on which Executive's employment under this Employment Agreement is
         terminated for any reason or (y) the date that is five (5) years after
         the Effective Date, manage or lease or participate in the management or
         leasing of any property which was subject to a written management
         and/or leasing contract (with the Company as manager and/or leasing
         agent) on the date on which Executive's employment under this
         Employment Agreement was terminated for any reason; provided, however,
         that the provisions of this Paragraph 6(a)(iii) shall apply to any such
         property only for so long as such written management or leasing
         contract remains in full force and effect.

                  (b) The Executive agrees and understands that the remedy at
law for any breach by her of this Paragraph 6 may be inadequate and that the
damages following such breach are not readily susceptible to being measured in
monetary terms. Accordingly, it is acknowledged that, upon adequate proof of the
Executive's violation of any legally enforceable provision of this Paragraph 6,
the Company may be entitled to immediate injunctive relief and may obtain a
temporary order restraining any threatened or further breach. Nothing in this
Paragraph 6 shall be deemed to limit the Company's remedies at law or in equity
for any breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of this Paragraph 6
which may be pursued or availed of by the Company.

                  (c) The Executive has carefully considered the nature and
extent of the restrictions upon her and the rights and remedies conferred upon
the Company under this Paragraph 6, and hereby acknowledges and agrees that the
same are reasonable in time and territory, are designed to eliminate competition
which otherwise would be unfair to the Company, do not stifle the inherent skill
and experience of the Executive, would not operate as a bar to the Executive's
sole means of support, are fully required to protect the legitimate interests of
the Company and do not confer a benefit upon the Company disproportionate to the
detriment to the Executive.

         7. Stock Options.     [Intentionally Omitted]

         8. Restricted Stock.  [Intentionally Omitted]

         9. Tax Adjustment Payments. If all or any portion of the amounts
payable to the Executive under this Employment Agreement (together with all
other payments of cash or property, whether pursuant to this Employment
Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation, the issuance of common
stock of the Company, or the granting, exercise or termination of options
therefor) constitutes "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section
280G of the Code that are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of
the Code (or any similar tax or assessment), the amounts payable hereunder shall
be increased (in the same manner, to the extent applicable, without duplication,
as provided in (i), (ii) and (iii) below) to the extent necessary to place the
Executive in the same after-tax position as she would have been in had no such
tax assessment been imposed on any such payment paid or payable to the Executive
under this Employment Agreement or any other payment that the Executive may
receive in connection therewith. The determination of the amount of any such tax
or assessment and the incremental payment required hereby in connection
therewith shall be made by the accounting firm employed by the Executive within
thirty (30) calendar days after such payment and said incremental payment shall
be made within five (5) calendar days after such determination has been made.
If, after the date upon which the payment required by this Paragraph 9 has been
made, it is determined (pursuant to final regulations or published rulings of
the Internal Revenue Service, final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction, Internal Revenue Service audit assessment, or otherwise) that the
amount of excise or other similar taxes or assessments payable by the Executive
is greater than the amount initially so determined, then the Company shall pay
the Executive an amount equal to the sum of: (i) such additional excise or other
taxes, plus (ii) any interest, fines and penalties resulting from such
underpayment, plus (iii) an amount necessary to reimburse the Executive for any
income, excise or other tax assessment payable by the Executive with respect to
the amounts specified in (i) and (ii) above, and the reimbursement provided by
this clause (iii), in the manner described above in this Paragraph 9. Payment
thereof shall be made within five (5) calendar days after the date upon which
such subsequent determination is made.

entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator or arbitrators
shall be deemed to possess the powers to issue mandatory orders and restraining
orders in connection with such arbitration; provided, however, that nothing in
this Paragraph 12(d) shall be construed so as to deny the Company the right and
power to seek and obtain injunctive relief in a court of equity for any breach
or threatened breach by the Executive of any of her covenants contained in
Paragraph 6 hereof.

                  (e) Any notice to be given under this Employment Agreement
