NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises hereto, the
covenants and agreements hereinafter made, and for Ten Dollars ($10,00) in hand,

agree as follows:
1. EARN-OUT.
A. Approximately 50,150 square feet of tenant space at the Property
has not been fully constructed and/or leased as of the Closing Date (the "Vacant
Space"). Buyer hereby hires Sellers to serve as Buyer's exclusive listing agent
for all of the Vacant Space during the term of this Agreement, Sellers shall be
responsible for negotiating the terms of the lease agreements and related
matters and shall bear expenses incurred in connection therewith.
B. Buyer shall make earn-out payments to Sellers at one or more
closings ("Earn-out Closings") upon each tenant's Acceptance of its applicable
portion of the Vacant Space. "Acceptance" shall mean that such tenant has
executed a lease agreement, accepted and taken possession of its premises,
opened for business and commenced full rental payments, including CAM, taxes and
insurance on a pro rata basis and delivered a certificate of occupancy and
tenant estoppel to Buyer. It shall be Sellers' responsibility and sole
cost and expense for leasing out and paying all costs related to placing the
tenants into their leaseable space. Once leased and Accepted as provided above,
the premises occupied by a tenant shall be referred to hereunder as "Accepted
Vacant Space." The amount of the earn-out payment to be paid to Sellers at each
Earn-out Closing (the "Earn-out Amount") for the applicable Accepted Vacant
Space shall be calculated according to the Earn-out Formula attached hereto as
EXHIBIT A. Each Earn-out Closing shall occur upon at least ten (10) business
days' prior written notice ("Notice") by Sellers to Buyer that one or more of
the previously unleased spaces has been leased on terms substantially in
accordance with EXHIBIT B hereto. The aggregate of all Earn-out Amounts payable
hereunder is referred to as the "Aggregate Earn-out Amount," an estimate of
which is set forth on EXHIBIT C hereto. Buyer shall have no obligation to pay
any Earn-out Amount or consummate any Earn-out Closing with respect to any
Notice sent after the date that is eighteen (18) months from the date hereof
(the "Termination Date").
C. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Aggregate Earn-out
Amount and other data set forth on EXHIBIT C hereto are based on estimates of
she parties made at the Closing Date and the actual Aggregate Earn-out Amount
payable to Sellers may be greater or less than such estimate, depending on
actual rent and lease obligations of the tenants.
2. TI/LC DEPOSIT. The TI/LC Deposit is applicable to the Vacant
Space on the basis of the sum of Three Dollars ($3.00) for leasing/brokerage
commissions ("LC"), plus Twelve Dollars ($12.00) for tenant improvement
allowances ("TI"), multiplied by the aggregate number of square feet in the
Vacant Space (approximately 50,150 square feet). At each Earn-out Closing that
occurs in accordance with Section 1 above, that portion of the TI/LC
Deposit attributable to the applicable portion of the Vacant Space shall be paid
to Sellers. To the extent that any funds remain in the TI/LC Deposit (and are
not subject to an outstanding Notice) on the Termination Date, such funds shall
be released to Buyer. To the extent that any funds remain in the TI/LC Deposit
on the date that Earn-out Closings have occurred with respect to 100% of the
Vacant Space, such funds shall be released to Sellers.
