The Manager shall keep confidential any and all non-public information, written or oral, obtained by it in connection with the services rendered hereunder (“Confidential Information”) and shall not use Confidential Information except in furtherance of its duties under this Agreement or disclose Confidential Information, in whole or in part, to any Person other than (i) to its Affiliates and the officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or advisors of the Manager or any of its Affiliates who need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of rendering services hereunder, (ii) to appraisers, financing sources and others in the ordinary course of the Company’s business ((i) and (ii) collectively, “Manager Permitted Disclosure Parties”), (iii) in connection with any governmental or regulatory filings of the Company, or filings with the NYSE MKT or other applicable securities exchange or market, (iv) in presentations or other disclosures to the Company’s investors (subject to compliance with Regulation FD), (iv) to governmental officials having jurisdiction over the Company, (v) as required by law or legal process to which the Manager or any Person to whom disclosure is permitted hereunder is a party, or (vi) with the consent of the Company. The Manager will inform each of its Manager Permitted Disclosure Parties of the non-public nature of the Confidential Information and to obtain agreement from such Persons to treat such Confidential Information in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Nothing herein shall prevent any Manager Permitted Disclosure Party from disclosing Confidential Information (i) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (ii) upon the request or demand of, or pursuant to any law or regulation to, any regulatory agency or authority, (iii) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy

hereunder, or (iv) to its legal counsel or independent auditors; provided, however, that with respect to clauses (i) and (ii), it is agreed that, so long as not legally prohibited, the Manager will provide PAC with prompt written notice of such order, request or demand so that PAC may seek, at its sole expense, an appropriate protective order and/or waive any Manager Permitted Disclosure Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, failing the entry of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Manager is required to disclose Confidential Information, the Manager Permitted Disclosure Party may disclose only that portion of such information that is legally required without liability hereunder; provided, however, that the Manager Permitted Disclosure Party agrees to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the following types of Confidential Information shall be deemed to be excluded from provisions hereof: (i) any Confidential Information that is available to the public from a source other than the Manager or its Affiliates, (ii) any Confidential Information that is released in writing by any of the Company Entities to the public (except to the extent exempt under, and in compliance with, Regulation FD) or to persons who are not under similar obligation of confidentiality to any of the Company Entities; and (iii) any Confidential Information that is obtained by the Manager from a third party which, to the Manager’s knowledge, does not constitute a breach by such third party of an obligation of confidence with respect to the Confidential Information disclosed.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of two years thereafter, provided that the parties will maintain trade secrets of the other party identified in writing as trade secrets, and which in fact constitute trade secrets, for a period of no longer than five years thereafter.


Section 7.	Compensation.

(a) Acquisition Fee. The Company shall pay an Acquisition Fee to the Manager or its assignees as compensation for services rendered in connection with the investigation, selection and acquisition (by purchase, investment or exchange) of Investments. The total Acquisition Fee payable to the Manager or its assignees shall equal 1.0% of the purchase price of Real Estate Assets and 1.0% of the amount advanced for Real Estate Related Loans or other Investments (other than Real Estate Assets), along with reimbursement of Acquisition Expenses actually incurred by the Manager or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that no Acquisition Fee will be payable until the Closing Date, although it may accrue before the Closing Date. The purchase price of Real Estate Assets shall equal the amount paid or allocated to the acquisition (by purchase, investment or exchange) of the Real Estate Assets inclusive of expenses related thereto and the amount of debt assumed in connection with such Investment or to which such Investment may be subject following such acquisition, but exclusive of Acquisition Fees. The purchase price allocable for an Investment held through a Joint Venture shall equal the product of (i) the purchase price of, or the amount advanced for, the Investment, as applicable, determined as stated above, and (ii) the direct or indirect ownership percentage in the Joint Venture held directly or indirectly by any Company Entity. For purposes of this paragraph, “ownership percentage” shall be the percentage of capital stock, membership interests, partnership interests

or other equity interests held by any Company Entity, without regard to classification of such equity interests. The Company shall pay to the Manager or its assignees the Acquisition Fee promptly upon the closing of the Investment, subject to the proviso set forth above.

(b) Asset Management Fee. The Company shall pay a monthly Asset Management Fee to the Manager or its assignees as compensation for services rendered in connection with the management of the Investments. The Asset Management Fee shall be payable monthly in cash or shares of PAC’s Common Stock, at the option of the Manager, and shall be equal to one-twelfth of 0.50% of the total value of the Company’s assets (including cash or cash equivalents) held as of the last day of the immediately preceding month, based on the adjusted cost of the Company’s assets before reduction for depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and cumulative acquisition costs charged to expense in accordance with GAAP (adjusted cost of Real Estate Assets and Real Estate Related Loans will include the purchase price, Acquisition Expenses, capital expenditures and other customarily capitalized costs) and as adjusted for appropriate closing dates for individual asset acquisitions. The Asset Management Fee will be appropriately pro rated for any partial month.

(c) Property Management and Leasing Fee. The Company shall pay a Property Management and Leasing Fee to the Manager or its assignees as compensation for services rendered in connection with the rental, leasing, operation and management of the Company’s Real Estate Assets and the supervision of any non-Affiliates that are engaged by the Manager to provide such services in an amount equal to 4.0% of the gross revenues of properties managed per month. The Manager may subcontract the performance of its property management and leasing services duties to third parties (including its Affiliates) and pay all or a portion of the Property Management and Leasing Fee to such persons with whom it contracts for these services. The Manager will be responsible for all fees payable to third parties (including its Affiliates) in connection with subcontracted property management and leasing duties. The Property Management and Leasing Fee will be payable monthly in arrears, based on the actual gross revenues for the prior month.

(d) Disposition Fee on Sale of Assets. In connection with a sale or other disposition (other than a roll-over of an existing Investment into another Investment related to substantially the same underlying asset) of an Investment (except for such Investments that are traded on a national securities exchange and short-term investments pending investment in other Investments) the Company shall pay to the Manager or its assignees a Disposition Fee on Sale of Assets 1.0% of the Contract Sales Price of such Investment. If the sale or disposition involves the receipt of publicly traded securities or operating partnership units that may be redeemed for or converted into publicly traded securities, then the Disposition Fee on Sale of Assets shall be receivable upon the receipt of such consideration, notwithstanding the fact that such consideration may at that time be publicly traded or valued by reference to a publicly traded security.

(e) Construction Fee, Development Fee and Landscaping Fee. The Company shall pay a Construction Fee, Development Fee and/or Landscaping Fee to the Manager or its assignees as compensation for services rendered in connection with the construction,

development or landscaping of the Real Estate Assets and the supervision of any non-Affiliates that are engaged by then Manager to provide such services in an amount equal to the customary and competitive market rates in light of the size, type and location of the Real Estate Assets.

(f) Exclusion of Certain Transactions. If any Company Entity shall propose to enter into any transaction in which the Manager, any Affiliate of the Manager or any of the Manager’s directors or officers has a direct or indirect interest, then such transaction shall be approved by a majority of the Board not otherwise interested in such transaction, including a majority of the Independent Directors.

(g) Limitation on Total Asset Management Fees, Property Management and Leasing Fees and General and Administrative Expenses Fee. The total amount of the Asset Management Fees, Property Management and Leasing Fees and General and Administrative Expenses Fee payable in connection with the Company’s investments paid or reimbursed to the Manager shall not exceed 1.50% per annum of the total value of the Company’s assets (including cash and cash equivalents) based on the adjusted cost of the Company’s assets before reduction for depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and cumulative acquisition costs charged to expense in accordance with GAAP (adjusted cost will include the gross contract purchase price, Acquisition Expenses, capital expenditures and other customarily capitalized costs).

(h) General and Administrative Expenses Fee. The Company shall pay a General and Administrative Expenses Fee in an amount equal to 2.0% of the gross revenues of the Company per month.


Section 8.	Expenses of the Company.

(xviii) all other expenses actually incurred by the Manager (except as otherwise specified herein) which are reasonably necessary or advisable for the performance by the Manager of its duties and functions under this Agreement.

(c) Costs and expenses incurred by the Manager on behalf of the Company shall be reimbursed monthly to the Manager. The Manager shall prepare a written statement in reasonable detail documenting the costs and expenses of the Company and those incurred by the Manager on behalf of the Company during each month, and shall deliver such written statement to the Company within 30 days after the end of each month.

Cost and expense reimbursement to the Manager shall be subject to adjustment at the end of each calendar year in connection with the annual audit of the Company. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement to the extent such expenses have previously been incurred or are incurred in connection with such expiration or termination.


Section 9.	Limits of the Manager’s Responsibility; Indemnification.

(a) The Manager, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, members, stockholders, other equity holders agents and representatives (each, a “Manager Indemnified Party”), will not be liable to any Company Entity or any of the stockholders, partners, members or other holders equity interests of any Company Entity for any acts or omissions by any Manager Indemnified Party performed in accordance with and pursuant to this Agreement, except by reason of any act or omission constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Manager Indemnified Party. The Company shall, to the fullest lawful extent, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless each Manager Indemnified Party, of and from any and all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation) (collectively “Losses”) in respect of or arising from any acts or omissions of such Manager Indemnified Party performed in good faith under this Agreement and not constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Manager Indemnified Party. In addition, the Company shall advance funds to a Manager Indemnified Party for legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred as a result of any claim, suit, action or proceeding for which indemnification is being sought, provided that such Manager Indemnified Party undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such Manager Indemnified Party is found pursuant to a final and non-appealable order or judgment to not be entitled to indemnification.

(b) The Manager shall, to the fullest lawful extent, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Company (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”) of and from any and all Losses in respect of or arising from (i) any acts or omissions of the Manager constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Manager, or (ii) any claims by the Manager’s employees relating to the terms and conditions of their employment by the Manager. The Manager assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render in good faith the services specifically designated as to be provided by the Manager hereunder and shall not be responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendations of the Manager, including as set forth in the Investment Guidelines. A Manager Indemnified Party and a Company Indemnified Party are each sometimes hereinafter referred to as an “Indemnified Party.”

(c) In case any such claim, suit, action or proceeding (a “Claim”) is brought against any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought by such Indemnified Party pursuant hereto, the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the indemnifying party, which notice shall include all documents and information in the possession of or under the control of such Indemnified Party reasonably necessary for the evaluation and/or defense of such Claim and shall specifically state that indemnification for such Claim is being sought under this Section 9; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the indemnifying party shall not limit or affect such Indemnified Party’s rights except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced thereby. Upon receipt of such notice of Claim (together with such documents and information from such Indemnified Party), the indemnifying party shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith defend any such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, which counsel may, without limiting the rights of such Indemnified Party pursuant to the next succeeding sentence of this Section,

also represent the indemnifying party in such investigation, action or proceeding. In the alternative, such Indemnified Party may elect to conduct the defense of the Claim, if (i) such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the conduct of its defense by the indemnifying party could be materially prejudicial to its interests, (ii) the indemnifying party refuses to assume such defense (or fails to give written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten days of receipt of a notice of Claim that the indemnifying party assumes such defense), or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed, in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, to defend the Claim in good faith. The indemnifying party may settle any Claim against such Indemnified Party without such Indemnified Party’s consent, provided (A) such settlement is without any Losses whatsoever to such Indemnified Party, (B) the settlement does not include or require any admission of liability or culpability by such Indemnified Party, (C) the indemnifying party obtains an effective written release of liability for such Indemnified Party from the party to the Claim with whom such settlement is being made, which release must be reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party, and a dismissal with prejudice with respect to all claims made by the party against such Indemnified Party in connection with such Claim, and (D) such settlement does not provide for any equitable relief. The applicable Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, in connection with the defense or settlement of any Claim in accordance with the terms hereof. If such Indemnified Party is entitled pursuant to this Section 9 to elect to defend such Claim by counsel of its own choosing and so elects, then the indemnifying party shall be responsible for any good faith settlement of such Claim entered into by such Indemnified Party. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no Indemnified Party may pay or settle any Claim and seek reimbursement therefor under this Section 9.

(d) The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.


Section 10.	No Joint Venture.

The parties to this Agreement are not partners or joint venturers with each other and nothing herein shall be construed to make them partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.


Section 11.	Term; Renewal; Termination Without Cause.

(a) This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and shall continue in operation, unless terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Initial Term”). After the Initial Term, this Agreement shall be deemed renewed automatically each year for an additional one-year period (an “Automatic Renewal Term”), unless the Company or the Manager elects not to renew this Agreement in accordance with Section 11(b) or Section 11(d), respectively.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon written notice provided to the Manager no later than 180 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Automatic Renewal Term (the “Termination Notice”), the Company may, without cause, in connection with the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Automatic

Renewal Term, decline to renew this Agreement (any such nonrenewal, a “Termination Without Cause”) upon the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the Independent Directors that includes a finding by such 75% majority either that (i) there has been unsatisfactory performance by the Manager that is materially detrimental to the Company Entities, taken as a whole, or (ii) the fees payable to the Manager under Section 7 are not, taken as a whole, in accordance with then-current market rates charged by asset management companies rendering services similar to those rendered by the Manager (“Above-Market Rates”), subject to Section 11(c), and only after reasonable investigation by the Independent Directors as to the market rates charged by similarly situated managers. In the event of a Termination Without Cause, the Company shall pay the Manager the Fees Accrued Upon Termination before or on the last day of the Initial Term or such Automatic Renewal Term, as the case may be (the “Effective Termination Date”). The Company may terminate this Agreement for cause pursuant to Section 13 even after a Termination Notice and, in such case, no Fees Accrued Upon Termination shall be payable.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11(b), if the reason for nonrenewal specified in the Company’s Termination Notice is that 75% of the Independent Directors have determined that the fees payable to the Manager under Section 7 are, taken as a whole, at Above-Market Rates, then the Company shall not have the foregoing nonrenewal right if the Manager agrees that it will continue to perform its duties hereunder during the Automatic Renewal Term that would commence upon the expiration of the Initial Term or then current Automatic Renewal Term at rates that at least 75% of the Independent Directors determine to be at or below market rates, taken as a whole; provided, however, that if the Independent Directors have made such a determination, the Manager shall have the right to renegotiate the rate of fees payable to the Manager under Section 7 as so determined by the Independent Directors, by delivering to the Company, not less than 120 days prior to the pending Effective Termination Date, written notice (a “Notice of Proposal to Negotiate”) of its intention to renegotiate the fees payable to the Manager under Section 7. Thereupon, the Company and the Manager shall endeavor to negotiate the fees payable to the Manager under Section 7 in good faith. Provided that the Company and the Manager agree to a revised fee structure under Section 7 within 60 days following the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Proposal to Negotiate, the Termination Notice from the Company shall be deemed of no force and effect, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect on the terms stated herein, except that the compensation structure shall be the revised compensation structure as then agreed upon by the Company and the Manager. The Company and the Manager agree to execute and deliver an amendment of this Agreement setting forth such revised fee structure promptly upon reaching an agreement regarding same. If the Company and the Manager are unable to agree to a revised compensation structure during such 60-day period, this Agreement shall terminate on the Effective Termination Date and the Company shall be obligated to pay the Manager the Fees Accrued Upon Termination upon the Effective Termination Date.

(d) No later than 180 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Automatic Renewal Term, the Manager may deliver written notice to the Company informing the Company of the Manager’s intention to discontinue performance of services pursuant to this Agreement as of the upcoming expiration date, whereupon this Agreement shall not be renewed and extended and this Agreement shall terminate effective on the anniversary

date of this Agreement next following the delivery of such notice. The Company shall not be required to pay to the Manager the Fees Accrued Upon Termination if the Manager terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(d).

(e) Except as set forth in this Section 11, a non-renewal of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11 shall be without any further liability or obligation of any party to the others, except as provided in Sections 6, 8, 9 and 15.

(f) The Manager shall cooperate with the Company in executing an orderly transition of the management of PAC’s consolidated assets to a new manager.


Section 12.	Assignments.

(a) Assignments by the Manager. This Agreement shall terminate automatically without payment of the Fees Accrued Upon Termination in the event of its assignment, in whole or in part, by the Manager, unless such assignment has been consented to in writing by (i) the Company with the consent of a majority of the Independent Directors, and (ii) the Operating Partnership. Any such permitted assignment shall bind the assignee under this Agreement in the same manner as the Manager is bound, and the Manager shall be liable to the Company for all acts or omissions of the assignee under any such assignment to the same extent had such delegation not occurred. In addition, the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Company a counterpart of this Agreement naming such assignee as the Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager may, without the approval of the Company’s Independent Directors, (A) assign this Agreement to an Affiliate of the Manager, and (B) delegate to one or more of its Affiliates the performance of any of its responsibilities hereunder so long as it remains liable for any such Affiliate’s performance to the same extent had such delegation not occurred, in each case so long as assignment or delegation does not require the Company’s approval under the Investment Company Act (but if such approval is required, the Company shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude any pledge, hypothecation, assignment or other transfer of any amounts payable to the Manager under this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by the Company. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of the Manager, except in the case of assignment by the Company to another REIT or other organization which is a successor (by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets, or other transaction) to the Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound under this Agreement and by the terms of such assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound under this Agreement.


Section 13.	Termination for Cause.

(a) The Company may terminate this Agreement for cause effective upon 30 days’ prior written notice of termination from the Company to the Manager (a “Cause Termination Notice”), without payment of any Fees Accrued Upon Termination, upon the occurrence of:

(i) a breach by the Manager, its agents or its assignees of any material provision of this Agreement and such breach shall continue for a period of 60 days after written notice thereof specifying such breach and requesting that the same be remedied in such 60-day period (or 90 days after written notice of such breach if the Manager takes steps to cure such breach within 60 days of the written notice);

(ii) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Manager,

(iii) a Manager Change of Control which a majority of the Independent Directors has determined to be materially detrimental to the Company Entities, taken as a whole;

(iv) the dissolution of the Manager; or

(v) (A) a final determination by a court that the Manager has committed fraud against the Company, the Manager has embezzled funds of the Company or the Manager has otherwise acted, or failed to act, in a manner constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, (B) which act of fraud, embezzlement or other act or failure to act described in clause (v)(A) above has had a material adverse effect on the consolidated business, operations and financial condition of the Company, and (C) where a majority of the Independent Directors of PAC has voted affirmatively to terminate this Agreement for cause as a result of such fraud, embezzlement or other act or failure to act, which vote shall have occurred within 30 days following the final determination referred to in clause (v)(A) above; provided, however, if such fraud, embezzlement or other act or failure to act was committed by a person other than an executive officer of the Manager, then the Manager can cure the same by terminating the employment of such person on or prior to the 30^th day following such final determination, in which event the Company shall cease to have the right to terminate this Agreement for cause pursuant to this Section 13(a) and any Cause Termination Notice previously given in reliance on this clause (v) automatically shall be deemed to have been rescinded and nugatory.

(b) The Manager may terminate this Agreement effective upon 60 days’ prior written notice of termination to the Company if the Company shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, condition or covenant contained in this Agreement and such default shall continue for a period of 60 days after written notice thereof specifying such default and requesting that the same be remedied in such 60-day period. The Company shall be required to pay to the Manager the Fees Accrued Upon Termination if the termination of this Agreement is made pursuant to this Section 13(b).

(c) The Manager may terminate this Agreement if the Company becomes required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, with such termination deemed to occur immediately before such event, in which case the Manager shall not be entitled to payment of the Fees Accrued Upon Termination.


Section 14.	Action Upon Termination.

From and after the effective date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11, 12 or 13, the Manager shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder. If the Manager is terminated pursuant to Sections 11(b) or 13(b), it shall be paid all Fees Accrued Upon Termination. Upon any such termination, the Manager shall forthwith:

(a) after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled, pay over to each Company Entity all money collected and held for the account of such Company Entity pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) deliver to the Board a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board with respect to the Company Entities;

(d) cooperate with the Company Entities to provide an orderly management transition.


Section 15.	Release of Money or Other Property Upon Written Request.

The Manager agrees that any money or other property of the Company (which, for the purposes of this Section 15, shall be deemed to include any and all of their respective subsidiaries, if any) held by the Manager shall be held by the Manager as custodian for the Company, and the Manager’s records shall be appropriately and clearly marked to reflect the ownership of such money or other property by the Company. Upon the receipt by the Manager of a written request signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company requesting the Manager to release to the Company any money or other property then held by the Manager for the account of the Company under this Agreement, the Manager shall release such money or other property to the Company or within a reasonable period of time, but in no event later than 60 days following such request. Upon delivery of such money or other property to the Company, the Manager shall not be liable to the Company, the Board, PAC’s stockholders, the Operating Partnership’s partners or any of the directors or equity holders of any subsidiary of the Company for any acts or omissions by the Company in connection with the money or other property released to the Company in accordance with this Section 15. The Company shall indemnify the Manager Indemnified Parties against any and all Losses which arise in connection with the Manager’s proper release of such money or other property to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 15. Indemnification pursuant to this provision shall be in addition to any right of the Manager Indemnified Parties to indemnification under Section 9.

Exhibit A

Investment Guidelines


1.	No Investment shall be made by the Manager that would cause PAC to fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code.


2.	No Investment shall be made by the Manager that would cause either PAC or the Operating Partnership to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.


3.	The Manager may invest the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, any future offerings of PAC’s or the Operating Partnership’s securities for cash, and cash from operations and capital transactions in interest-bearing, short-term, investment-grade investments, subject to the requirements for PAC’s qualification as a REIT under the Code.


4.	Investment Deployment Quantitative Limits:


(a)	Other than for short-term investments made for cash management purposes, the Manager may not invest (net of any debt placed at closing or assumed with the transaction) more than 15% of the Company’s total assets (as determined for the Asset Management Fee) in any one single asset or transaction. By way of example, if



Total assets before proposed transaction:	$100 million
Proposed transaction asset value value:	$40 million
Total assets after proposed transaction:	$140 million
15% of total assets after proposed transaction:	$21 million

then the Manager would be allowed to invest up to $21 million in the proposed transaction.


(b)	No more than 25% of the Company’s total assets may be invested by the Manager in any metropolitan statistical area (“MSA”).


(c)	The Company’s aggregate borrowings (secured and unsecured) will not exceed 75% of the cost of its tangible assets at the time of any new borrowing.


5.	Investment Deployment Qualitative Guidelines:


(a)	Multifamily related assets where the associated real property asset is located in top submarkets of an MSA with an aggregate population in excess of approximately 1,000,000.


(b)	Multifamily related assets where the associated real property asset has at least 100 units.


(c)	Multifamily related assets where the associated real property was built or substantially renovated after January 1, 1990 and, to the knowledge of the Manager, does not possess any material design flaws and is not functionally obsolete.


(d)	Target five-year portfolio average cash-on-cash returns of approximately 8.5% to 10%, net of fees and expenses.


(e)	Seek to acquire assets primarily for income, and secondarily for possible capital gain.


(f)	The Manager may enter into forward purchase contracts and purchase option agreements for multifamily properties and, in connection therewith, enter into deposit arrangements, mezzanine loans or other performance assurances, as may be necessary or appropriate.
