value of BRC's Real Estate Assets will be determined in good faith by the
Manager, after consideration of all relevant factors, data and information,
including, with respect to the Real Estate Assets that are preferred equity
interests in operating partnerships affiliated with publicly-traded companies,

distributions, the preparation of performance data and financial information,
the preparation of reports and other communications to Shareholders of the Fund
and stockholders of BRC, the monitoring of compliance by BRC with tax and

2. Compensation of the Manager. For the services, payments and facilities
to be furnished hereunder by the Manager, the Manager shall be entitled to
receive from BRC in respect of each month a monthly management fee at the rate

In case of initiation or termination of this Agreement during any month with
respect to BRC, the fee for that month shall be based on the number of calendar
days during which it is in effect. The Manager may elect to waive all or a
portion of any monthly management fee; in the event of any such waiver, the
amount so waived shall not be due from or payable by BRC under this Agreement
for such month.
