REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of 11:59 p.m.
this 30th day of June, 1995, by and between CRIIMI MAE Management, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the "Company") and CRI Insured Mortgage Associates Adviser
Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("Adviser").
R E C I T A L S
WHEREAS, Adviser is the Adviser to CRI Liquidating REIT, Inc.
("Liquidating") pursuant to an Advisory Agreement dated as of November 21, 1989
(the "Advisory Agreement");
WHEREAS, Adviser desires to avail itself of the experience, advice and
assistance of the Company in the performance of its duties under the Advisory
Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide such assistance to Adviser.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Services to be Rendered
(a) The Company shall render or cause to be rendered to Adviser, upon
request of Adviser, those services listed on Exhibit A, attached hereto and made
a part hereof, upon the hourly rates or predetermined fees set forth or referred
to thereon. Such rates or fees are intended to allow the Company to recover
only its costs and expenses, including allocable overhead, without realizing any
profit and any changes in such rates or fees shall be made only to reflect
increases in such costs and expenses.
(b) From time to time, Adviser may desire additional services not
specifically addressed in Exhibit A. For such additional services, if requested
and to the extent the Company is willing and able to furnish such additional
services, the Company will be compensated in amounts determined based upon hours
of service rendered and hourly rates set by the Company. The provision of any
such additional services by the Company, if such additional services are not of
the character of those set forth on Exhibit A, and the amount of compensation
therefor, shall be at all times on terms which are equal or no less favorable to
Adviser than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties for comparable
services and which allow the Company to recover only its costs and expenses,
including allocable overhead, without realizing any profit.
2. Term
The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof
and shall be for a period of one (1) year (the "Initial Term"). Thereafter,
this Agreement shall be automatically renewed for successive one (1) year terms
(each a "Term Year"), until terminated. Either party may terminate this
Agreement by giving the other party at least sixty (60) days' prior written
notice. In addition, this Agreement shall terminate upon termination of the
Advisory Agreement.
3. Reimbursement
For the services rendered by the Company to Adviser pursuant to this
Agreement, the Adviser shall pay to the Company the amounts due on a monthly
basis as invoiced to Adviser. Such invoices shall set forth in reasonable
detail the services provided, the number of hours of services rendered or fees
charged, the identity of the individual(s) providing the services and such other
information as Adviser may reasonably request. The Company shall submit monthly
invoices to Adviser by the tenth day of each month and shall receive payment
within fifteen (15) days after submission. The Company shall be entitled to a
late payment in the amount of four percent (4%) of the amount overdue for any
payment not made by Adviser. The rates provided for in Exhibit A may be amended
by the Company as necessary to reflect changes in actual costs, including
allocable overhead, to perform the services. Notwithstanding anything set forth
herein, the Company and Adviser may agree that Liquidating shall reimburse the
Company directly for its services under this Agreement.
4. Prevention of Performance
The Company shall not be determined to be in violation of this
Agreement if it is prevented from performing any of the obligations hereunder
for any reason beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts
of God, nature or public enemy, strikes, or limitations of law, regulations or
rules of the Federal or of any state or local government or of any agency
thereof.
5. Independent Contractor; Indemnification
(a) It is expressly agreed by the parties hereto that each is at all
times acting and performing hereunder as an independent contractor and not as
agent for the other, and that no act of commission or omission of either party
hereto shall be construed to make or render the other party its principal,
agent, partner, joint venturer or associate, except to the extent specified
herein.
(b) Adviser shall indemnify, defend and hold the Company and its
affiliates and their respective directors, officers, and employees harmless
from and against all damages, losses and out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by them in the course of performing the
duties prescribed hereby, except for matters covered by Paragraph 5(c) below.
(c) The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold Adviser, and their
respective directors, officers, partners and employees harmless from and against
all damages, losses and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) caused by or arising out of any willful misconduct or gross negligence in
the performance of any obligation or agreement of the Company herein.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 5(c) above, the Company
does not assume any responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the
services called for under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof and
in good faith. Adviser shall have no recourse against the Company on account of
the failure of the Company to render the services as and when required hereunder
except as set forth in Paragraph 5(c) above.
6. Notices
(a) Each notice, demand, request, consent, report, approval or
communication ("Notice") which is or may be required to be given by either party
to the other party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, shall be in writing, and given by telex, telegram,
telecopy, personal delivery, receipted delivery service, or by certified mail,
return receipt requested, prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be
served.
(b) Notices shall be effective on the date sent via telex, telegram

sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties pertaining to
the subject matter hereof, and no prior or contemporaneous written or oral

unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver of any
of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed, or shall constitute, a
waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall any
such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

the parties hereto, each of their respective successors and permitted assigns,

validity, construction, capacity, performance or otherwise, by the laws of the
State of Maryland. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement or in any other instrument referred to herein shall, for any reason,
