books of account and records relating to services performed under this
Agreement, which shall be accessible for inspection by the Company at any
time during ordinary business hours.
4. REIT QUALIFICATIONS. Notwithstanding anything else in
this Agreement, the Advisor shall refrain from any action (including, without
limitation, performing services for tenants of property or managing or
operating real property) which, in its sole judgment made in good faith or in
the judgment of the Directors of which the Advisor has written notice, would
adversely affect the status of the Company as a real estate investment trust
as defined and limited in the Code, which would violate any law, rule,
regulation or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having
jurisdiction over the Company or over its securities, or which would
otherwise not be permitted by the Company's Bylaws.
5. BANK ACCOUNTS. The Advisor, at the expense of the
Company, may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in its own
name, and may collect and deposit into any one or more accounts, and disburse
from any account or accounts, any money on behalf of the Company, on the

the Directors and to the auditors of the Company.

Directors require, shall maintain a fidelity bond with a responsible surety
company in such amount as the Directors may require from time to time,

pertaining to investments of the Company. The bond shall inure to the

particular, the Directors shall notify the Advisor promptly of their
intention to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Company's investments or
to make any new investment. The Company shall furnish the Advisor with a
certified copy of all financial statements, a signed copy of each report
prepared by independent certified public accountants and all other
information with regard to the Company's affairs as the Advisor may
reasonably request.
8. CONSULTATION AND ADVICE. In addition to the services
described elsewhere in this Agreement, the Advisor shall consult with the
Directors, and shall, at the request of the Directors or the officers of the
Company, give advice and recommendations with respect to other aspects of the
business and affairs of the Company. In general, the Advisor shall inform
the Directors of any factors, which come to its attention which the Advisor
believes would influence the policies of the Company, except to the extent
that giving that information would involve a breach of fiduciary duty.
9. DEFINITIONS. As used in this Agreement, the following
terms shall have the meanings indicated:
(a) "Affiliate" means as to any Person (i) any other Person
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control
with such Person, (ii) any other person owning or controlling 10% or more of
the outstanding voting securities or beneficial interest of such Person,
(iii) any officer, director, trustee or general partner of such Person and
(iv) if such other Person is an officer, director, trustee or partner of
another entity, then the entity for which that Person acts in any such
capacity.
(b) "Average Invested Assets" means for any period the
average of the aggregate book value of the assets of the Company invested,
directly or indirectly, in equity interests in and loans secured by real
estate, before reserves for depreciation or bad debts or other similar
non-cash reserves computed by taking the average of such values at the end of
each month during such period.

return is submitted to the Internal Revenue Service and which is treated by
the Internal Revenue Service as a reporting period for the Company.
(d) "Mortgage Investment" means the assets of the Company
invested in any mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, notes, bonds or
other evidences of indebtedness or obligations which are secured or
collateralized by interests in real estate.
(e) "Net Income" means the total revenues of the Company for
any period, computed on the basis of its results of operations for that
period, after deduction of all expenses, excluding, however, any additions to
reserves for depreciation or bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves.
(f) "Person" means an individual, corporation, partnership,
joint venture, association, company, trust, bank or other entity, or
government and any agency and political subdivision of a government.

10. ADVISOR COMPENSATION(a) At the end of each calendar quarter
or such other interval as the parties shall agree, the Company shall pay to
the Advisor as compensation for the advisory services rendered to the Company

the year and thereafter a quarterly fee equal to $35,000 .
(b) The Board has commenced a review of various strategic
alternatives available to Franklin Select Realty Trust (the "Company") which
may lead to a merger or sale of the REIT and/or its assets. However, it is
difficult to forecast how long this process may take or whether such a
transaction will occur. The Board recognizes that under these circumstances
it may be difficult for the Adviser to retain key employees necessary to the
operation of the Company. Moreover, the Board acknowledges that the Company
will derive substantial benefit in the execution of its strategic objectives
if certain key employees are retained until the strategic review is
complete. Therefore, the Board, on behalf of the company, may determine to
establish a fund for the purpose of creating an incentive to certain key
employees of the Advisor who might otherwise depart before the completion of
the Board's strategic review. The fund will be disbursed at the discretion
of the Board with the advice of the Advisor. Any such funds will be paid to
Advisor and paid to employees.
11. STATEMENTS. The Advisor shall furnish to the Company at
least quarterly, beginning with the second calendar quarter of the term of
this Agreement, a statement showing the computation of the fee payable in

Fiscal Year shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with, and upon
completion of, the annual audit of the Company's financial statement; any

the audit shall be made promptly after the completion of the audit and shall
be reflected in the audited statements to be published by the Company.

property management services for the Company.
(b) If and to the extent that the Company shall request the
