set forth on the signature page hereof (&#147;Executive&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are parties to an existing Employment Agreement dated as of
August&nbsp;17, 2006 (the &#147;Existing Employment Agreement&#148;);
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ Executive, and Executive desires to
continue to be employed by the Company; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to terminate the Existing Employment Agreement, and
enter into this Agreement which sets forth the terms and conditions of Executive&#146;s continuing
employment by the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;<U>Term</U>. The Company hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts such
employment, for a term (as the same may be extended, the &#147;Term&#148;) commencing as of the date hereof
and continuing until August&nbsp;17, 2011, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions
of Section&nbsp;4. On August&nbsp;17, 2011, the Term shall automatically be extended for successive two-year
periods in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (subject to termination as aforesaid) unless

days prior to the expiration of the initial period or any subsequent renewal period.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;<U>Duties</U>. During the Term, Executive shall be employed by the Company as Executive
Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Assistant Secretary and Treasurer of the Company, and, as
such, Executive shall faithfully perform for the Company the duties of said office and shall
perform such other duties of an executive, managerial or administrative nature as shall be
specified and designated from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company (the &#147;Board&#148;)
or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which duties shall not be materially inconsistent
with the duties performed by executives holding similar offices with real estate investment trusts.
Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time and effort to the performance of his
duties hereunder, except that Executive may devote reasonable time and attention to civic,
charitable, business or social activities so long as such activities do not interfere with
Executive&#146;s employment duties. Executive shall comply with the policies, standards, and
regulations established from time to time by the Company.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;<U>Compensation</U>.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1 <U>Salary</U>. For purposes of this Agreement, a &#147;Contract Year&#148; shall mean each
calendar year during the Term. During the first Contract Year of the Term, the Company shall pay
Executive a base salary at the rate of $315,000.00 per annum, in accordance with the customary
payroll practices of the Company applicable to senior executives, but not less frequently than
monthly. The Compensation Committee of the Board shall review Executive&#146;s base salary each
Contract Year during the Term and may increase such amount as it may deem advisable (such salary,
as the same may be increased, the &#147;Annual Salary&#148;).
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 <U>Bonus and Incentive Compensation</U>. Executive will be entitled to participate in

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <U>Annual Bonus Compensation</U>. Executive shall be eligible to receive a bonus each
Contract Year (&#147;Annual Bonus&#148;) as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall
determine. Executive&#146;s Annual Bonus shall be determined in accordance with the Company&#146;s executive
compensation policies as in effect from time to time during the Term and shall be based, in part,
on his achieving his individual performance goals for the year and, in part, on the Company&#146;s
achieving its performance goals for the year.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <U>Equity Incentive Awards</U>. Executive shall be eligible to participate each Contract

Plan or such other plans or programs as the Compensation Committee shall determine.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 <U>Benefits &#151; In General</U>. Except with respect to benefits of a type otherwise
provided for under Section&nbsp;3.4, Executive shall be permitted during the Term to participate in any
group life, hospitalization or disability insurance plans, health programs, retirement plans,
fringe benefit programs and similar benefits that may be available to other senior executives of
the Company generally, on the same terms as such other executives, in each case to the extent that
Executive is eligible under the terms of such plans or programs.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 <U>Specific Benefits</U>. Without limiting the generality of Section&nbsp;3.3, the Company
shall make available to Executive the fringe benefits set forth on Attachment &#147;A&#148; to this
Agreement. Executive shall be entitled to 20&nbsp;days of paid time off (&#147;PTO&#148;) per Contract Year.
Unless otherwise required by law, no more than 10&nbsp;days of unused PTO may be carried forward (on a
&#147;first-in, first-out&#148; basis) to the immediately following year (but not thereafter).

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 <U>Termination upon Death or Disability</U>. If Executive dies during the Term, the
obligations of the Company to or with respect to Executive shall terminate in their entirety except
as otherwise provided under this Section&nbsp;4.1. If Executive becomes eligible for disability
benefits under the Company&#146;s long-term disability plans and arrangements (or, if none, if Executive
by virtue of ill health or other disability is unable to perform substantially and continuously the
duties assigned to him for at least 120 consecutive or non-consecutive days out of any consecutive
12-month period), the Company shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to terminate
the employment of Executive upon notice in writing to Executive; provided that the Company will
have no right to terminate Executive&#146;s employment if, in the reasonable opinion of a qualified
physician acceptable to the Company, it is substantially certain that Executive will be able to
resume Executive&#146;s duties on a regular full-time basis within 30&nbsp;days of the date Executive
receives notice of such termination. Upon death or other termination of employment by virtue of
disability in accordance with this Section&nbsp;4.1, Executive (or Executive&#146;s estate or beneficiaries
in the case of the death of Executive) shall have no right to receive any compensation or benefit
hereunder on and after the effective date of the termination of employment other than (i)&nbsp;Annual
Salary and other benefits earned and accrued under this Agreement prior to the date of termination
(and reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses incurred prior to the date of termination);

remedies pursuant to Section 5(c) and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any
Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred
