6.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the date hereof
and shall continue in force for a period expiring June 30, 2006 and thereafter
shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless terminated
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
6.2 Right of Termination. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the Trust may terminate this Agreement
with or without cause upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the Advisor
and (ii) the Advisor may terminate this Agreement with or without cause upon one
hundred and twenty (120) days' prior written notice to the Trust. In addition,
this Agreement may be terminated by the Trust at any time for "cause", defined
as (i) the Advisor's continuous and intentional failure to perform its duties
under this Agreement after written notice from the Trust to the Advisor of such
non-performance; (ii) intentional misconduct by the Advisor which is materially
injurious to the Trust, monetarily or otherwise; or (iii) the material breach by
the Advisor of any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement.
(b) The Advisor shall have the continuing right, but not the
obligation, to immediately terminate this Agreement from and after the date that
the Exclusivity Agreement (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) or the
Covenant Agreement (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) is, without the
prior written consent of FUR, terminated by the Company or voided, in each case
in whole or material part.
8
6.3 Termination Fee. (a) Upon termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 6.1 or 6.2 above, the Trust will be obligated to pay the
Advisor a termination fee equal to 20% of the difference between (x) the Deemed
Excess Share Distributions less (y) the amount of Incentive Fees which have
theretofore been paid to the Advisor in accordance with Section 4.4(a) hereto.
(b) Definitions as used herein:
(i) "Deemed Excess Share Distributions" means the difference
between (A) the aggregate of all Distributions in respect of all common
shares of beneficial interest plus the Net Asset Amount (as defined below)
and (B) the Hurdle, as of the date of termination..
(ii) "Net Asset Amount" means the difference between (x) the
gross assets of the Trust as of the date of termination less (y) the total
liabilities of the Trust as of the date of termination (including any
amounts necessary to satisfy obligations due to holders of preferred
shares of the Trust as liabilities), as determined by an appraisal to be
conducted by a nationally recognized appraisal firm mutually agreed upon
by the Trust and the Advisor. If the Trust and the Advisor are unable to
agree upon an appraisal firm, then each of the Trust and the Advisor is to
choose an independent appraisal firm to conduct an appraisal. In such
event, (i) if the appraisals prepared by the two appraisers so selected
are the same or differ by an amount that does not exceed 20% of the higher
of the two appraisals, the Net Asset Amount is to be deemed to be the
average of the appraisals, as prepared by each party's chosen appraiser,
and (ii) if these two appraisals differ by more than 20% of such higher
amount, the two appraisers together are to select a third appraisal firm
to conduct an appraisal. If the two appraisers are unable to agree on the
identity of such third appraiser, either of the Advisor and the Trust may
request that the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") select the third
appraiser. The Net Asset Amount then is to be the amount determined by
such third appraiser, but in no event less then the lower of the two
initial appraisals or more than the higher of such two initial appraisals.
Each party shall pay the costs of the appraisals chosen by it, and each
party shall pay one half of the costs of the third appraiser. Any
appraisal hereunder shall be performed no later than 45 days following
selection of the appraiser or appraisers.
(c) In the event that this Agreement shall have been terminated by
the Trust for cause, the Trust shall have the right to offset any direct damages
to the Trust caused by the actions giving rise to such termination for cause
against the fee otherwise payable under this Section 6.3.
6.4 Continued Responsibility. Notwithstanding termination of this
Agreement as provided above, the Advisor agrees to use its best efforts in the
performance of its duties under this Agreement until the effective date of the
termination of this Agreement.
