          (b) The consideration paid for an Investment acquired by the Company
     shall ordinarily be based on the fair market value thereof. Consistent with
     the foregoing provision, the Advisor may, without further approval by the
     Board (except with respect to transactions subject to paragraphs (c) and
     (d)) invest on behalf of the Company in an Investment Asset so long as, in
     the Advisor's good faith judgment, (i) the Total Property Cost of such
     Investment Asset does not exceed the fair market value thereof, and in the
     case of an Investment Asset that is a Property, shall in no event exceed
     the Appraised Value of such Property and (ii) the Investment Asset, in
     conjunction with the Company's other investments and proposed investments,
     at the time the Company is committed to purchase or originate the
      Investment Asset, is reasonably expected to fulfill the Company's
     investment objectives and policies as established by the Board and then in
     effect. For purposes of the foregoing, Total Property Cost shall be
     measured at the date the Investment Asset is acquired and shall exclude
     future commitments to fund improvements. Investments not meeting the
     foregoing criteria must be approved in advance by the Board.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
     Agreement, the Advisor shall not cause the Company to make investments that
     do not comply with Article VIII (Restrictions on Investments and
     Activities) and related sections of the Bylaws.

          (d) The prior approval of the Board, including a majority of the
     Independent Directors and a majority of the Directors not interested in the
     transaction, will be required for: (i) investments in Properties made
     through co-investment or joint venture arrangements with the Sponsor, the
     Advisor or any of their Affiliates; (ii) investments in Investment Assets

     an Affiliate (other than conflicts involving the payment of fees or the
     reimbursement of expenses); (iv) the lease of assets to the Sponsor, any
     Director, the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor; (v) any purchase or
     sale of an Investment Asset from or to the Advisor or an Affiliate; and
     (vi) the retention of any Affiliate of the Advisor to provide services to
     the Company not expressly contemplated by this Agreement and the terms of
      such services by such Affiliate. In addition, the Advisor shall comply with
     any further approval requirements set forth in the Bylaws.

          (e) The Board may, at any time upon the giving of notice to the
     Advisor, modify or revoke the authority set forth in this Section 4. If and
     to the extent the Board so modifies or revokes the authority contained
     herein, the Advisor shall henceforth comply with such modification or
     revocation, provided however, that such modification or revocation shall be
     effective upon receipt by the Advisor and shall not be applicable to
     investment transactions to which the Advisor has committed the Company
     prior to the date of receipt by the Advisor of such notification.

     5. Bank Accounts. The Advisor may establish and maintain one or more bank
accounts in its own name for the account of the Company or in the name of the
Company and may collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and

provided that no funds shall be commingled with the funds of the Advisor; and
the Advisor shall from time to time render appropriate accountings of such
collections and payments to the Board and to the auditors of the Company.

     6. Records; Access. The Advisor shall maintain appropriate records of all
its activities hereunder and make such records available for inspection by the
Board and by counsel, auditors and authorized agents of the Company, at any time
or from time to time during normal business hours. The Advisor shall at all
reasonable times have access to the books and records of the Company.

     7. Limitations on Activities. Anything else in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action
which, in its sole judgment made in good faith, would adversely affect the
status of the Company as a REIT, subject the Company to regulation under the
Investment Co
