9. FEES.
(a) ASSET MANAGEMENT FEE. The Company shall pay to the Manager as
compensation for the services rendered to the Company hereunder an amount equal
to one percent per annum of the Adjusted Invested Assets of the Company (the
"Asset Management Fee") calculated as set forth below. The Asset Management Fee
will be calculated monthly, beginning with the month in which the Company and
the Manager execute this Agreement, on the basis of one-twelfth of one percent
of the Adjusted Invested Assets for that month, computed as a daily average. The
Asset Management Fee shall be prorated for the number of days during the month
that the Company owns an Investment Asset. One-half of the Asset Management Fee
with respect to an Investment Asset will be paid on the first business day of
each month beginning on the first business day after the month in which the
Investment Asset was acquired or originated. The remaining one-half of the Asset
Management Fee shall be subordinated to the extent described below and shall be
payable quarterly. The subordinated Asset Management Fee for any quarter shall
be payable only if the Preferred Return has been met through the end of the
applicable quarter. Any portion of the subordinated Asset Management Fee not
paid due to the Company's failure to meet the Preferred Return shall be paid by
the Company, to the extent it is not restricted by the Two Percent/25%
Guidelines as described below, at the end of the next fiscal quarter through
which the Company has met the Preferred Return. If at the end of any fiscal
quarter, the Company's Operating Expenses exceed the Two Percent/25% Guidelines
over the immediately preceding 12 months, payment of the subordinated Asset
Management Fee will be withheld consistent with Section 13. Any part of the
Asset Management Fee that has been subordinated pursuant to this subsection (a)
shall not be deemed earned until such time as payable hereunder.
(b) LOAN REFINANCING FEE. The Company shall pay to the Manager for all
qualifying loan refinancings of Properties a Loan Refinancing Fee in the amount
up to one percent of the principal amount of the refinanced loan. Any Loan
Refinancing Fee shall be due and payable upon the funding of the related loan or
as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A refinancing will qualify for
a Loan Refinancing Fee only if the refinanced loan is secured by Property and
(i) the maturity date of the refinanced loan (which must have a term of five
years or more) is less than one year from the date of the refinancing; or (ii)
the terms of the new loan represent, in the judgment of a majority of the
Independent Directors, an improvement over the terms of the refinanced loan; or
(iii) the new loan is approved by the Board, including a majority of the
Independent Directors and, in each case, the Loan Refinancing Fee is found, in
the judgment of a majority of the Independent Directors, to be in the best
interest of the Company.
(c) PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FEE. No Property Management Fee shall be paid
unless approved by a majority of the Independent Directors.
(d) SUBORDINATED DISPOSITION FEE. If the Manager provides a
substantial amount of services in the sale of a Property or Loan, the Manager
shall receive a fee equal to the lesser of: (i) 50% of the Competitive Real
Estate Commission and (ii) three percent of the Contract Sales Price of such
Property (the "Subordinated Disposition Fee"). The Subordinated Disposition Fee
will be paid only if Shareholders have received in the aggregate a return of
100% of Initial Investor Capital (through liquidity or Distributions) plus a
Preferred Return
11
through the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date the
Subordination Disposition Fee is paid. The return requirement will be deemed
satisfied if the total Distributions paid by the Company have satisfied the
Preferred Return requirement and the Market Value of the Company equals or
exceeds Adjusted Investor Capital. To the extent that Subordinated Disposition
Fees are not paid by the Company on a current basis due to the foregoing
limitation, the unpaid fees will be due and paid at such time as the limitation
has been satisfied. The Subordinated Disposition Fee may be paid in addition to
real estate commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total of all
real estate commissions in respect of a Property paid to all Persons by the
Company and the Subordinated Disposition Fee shall not exceed an amount equal to
the lesser of: (i) seven percent of the Contract Sales Price of such Property or
(ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission. The Manager shall present to the
Independent Directors such information as they may reasonably request to review
the level of services provided by the Manager in connection with a disposition
and the basis for the calculation of the amount of the accrued Subordinated
Disposition Fees on an annual basis. The amount of any accrued Subordinated
Disposition Fee shall be deemed conclusively established once it has been
approved by the Independent Directors, absent a subsequent finding of error. No
payment of Subordinated Disposition Fees shall be made prior to review and
approval of such information by the Independent Directors. If this Agreement is
terminated prior to such time as the Shareholders have received (through
liquidity or Distributions) a return of 100% of Initial Investor Capital plus a
Preferred Return through the date of termination of this Agreement, an appraisal
of the Properties then owned by the Company shall be made and any unpaid
Subordinated Disposition Fee on Properties sold prior to the date of termination
will be payable if the Appraised Value of the Properties then owned by the
Company plus Distributions to Shareholders prior to the date of termination of
this Agreement (through liquidity or Distributions) is equal to or greater than
100% of Initial Investor Capital plus an amount sufficient to pay a Preferred
Return through the date of termination of this Agreement. If the Company's
Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or included for quotation on
Nasdaq and, at the time of such listing, the Manager has provided a substantial
amount of services in the sale of Property, for purposes of determining whether
the subordination conditions for the payment of the Subordinated Disposition Fee
have been satisfied, Shareholders will be deemed to have received a Distribution
in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Company.
(e) LOANS FROM AFFILIATES. The Company shall not borrow funds from the
Manager or its Affiliates unless (A) the transaction is approved by a majority
of the Independent Directors and a majority of the Directors who are not
interested in the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially
reasonable, (B) the interest and other financing charges or fees received by the
Manager or its Affiliates do not exceed the amount which would be charged by
non-affiliated lending institutions and (C) the terms are not less favorable
than those prevailing for comparable arm's-length loans for the same purpose.
The Company will not borrow on a long-term basis from the Manager or its
Affiliates unless it is to provide the debt portion of a particular investment
and the Company is unable to obtain a permanent loan at that time or in the
judgment of the Board, it is not in the Company's best interest to obtain a
permanent loan at the interest rates then prevailing and the Board has reason to
believe that the Company will be able to obtain a permanent loan on or prior to
the end of the loan term provided by the Manager or its Affiliates.
12
(f) CHANGES TO FEE STRUCTURE. In the event the Shares are listed on a
national securities exchange or are included for quotation on Nasdaq, the
Company and the Manager shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee
structure appropriate for an entity with a perpetual life. A majority of the
Independent Directors must approve the new fee structure negotiated with the
Manager. In negotiating a new fee structure, the Independent Directors may
consider any of the factors they deem relevant, including but not limited to:
(a) the size of the Asset Management Fee in relation to the size, composition
and profitability of the Company's portfolio; (b) the rates charged to other
REITs and to investors other than REITs by Managers performing similar services;
(c) additional revenues realized by the Manager and its Affiliates through their
relationship with the Company, including loan administration, underwriting or
broker commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether
paid by the Company or by others with whom the Company does business; (d) the
quality and extent of service furnished by the Manager; (e) the performance of
the investment portfolio of the Company, including income, conversion or
appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in
dealing with distress situations and (f) the quality of the portfolio of the
Company in relationship to the portfolio of real properties owned and managed by
W.P. Xxxxx & Co. LLC for its own account. The new fee structure can be no more
favorable to the Manager than the current fee structure. The Independent
Directors shall not approve any new fee structure that is in their judgment more
favorable (taken as a whole) to the Manager than the current fee structure.
(g) PAYMENT. The Company shall pay the compensation payable pursuant
to this Section 9 directly to the Manager; provided, however, that any fee
payable pursuant to Section 9 may be paid, at the option of the Manager, in the
form of: (i) cash, (ii) common stock of the Company, or (iii) a combination of
cash and common stock. The Manager shall notify the Company in writing annually
of the form in which the fee shall be paid. Such notice shall be provided no
later than December 31 of the year prior to the year to which such election
applies. If no such notice is provided, the fee shall be paid in cash. For
purposes of the payment of compensation to the Manager in the form of stock, the
value of each share of common stock shall be: (i) the Net Asset Value per Share
as determined by the most recent appraisal of the Company's assets performed by
an Independent Appraiser, or (ii) if an appraisal has not yet been performed,
$10 per share. If shares are being offered to the public at the time a fee is
paid with stock, the value shall be the price of the stock without commissions.
The Net Asset Value determined on the basis of such appraisal may be adjusted on
a quarterly basis by the Board to account for significant capital transactions.
10. EXPENSES. To the extent applicable, in addition to the compensation
paid to the Manager pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company shall pay directly
or reimburse the Manager for the following expenses:
(i) interest and other costs for borrowed money, including discounts,
points and other similar fees;
(ii) taxes and assessments on income of the Company, to the extent
paid or advanced by the Manager, or on Property and taxes as an expense of
doing business, in each case attributable to Properties or non-United
States activities;
13
(iii) expenses of managing and operating Properties, whether payable
to an Affiliate of the Manager or a non-affiliated Person;
(iv) fees and expenses of legal counsel for the Company attributable
to Properties;
(v) fees and expense of auditors and accountants for the Company
attributable to Properties;
(vi) expenses related to the Properties and other fees relating to
disposing of investments including personnel and other costs incurred in
transactions relating to Properties where a fee is not payable to the
Manager; and
(vii) all other expenses the Manager incurs in connection with
providing services to the Company hereunder including reimbursement to the
Manager or its Affiliates for the cost of rent, goods, materials and
personnel incurred by them based upon the compensation of the Persons
involved and an appropriate share of overhead allocable to those Persons as
reasonably determined by the Manager on a basis approved annually by the
Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors).
No reimbursement shall be made for the cost of personnel to the extent that such
personnel are used in transactions for which the Manager receives a separate
fee.
Expenses incurred by the Manager on behalf of the Company and payable pursuant
to this Section 10 shall be reimbursed quarterly to the Manager within 60 days
after the end of each quarter, subject to the provisions of Section 13 hereof.
The Manager shall prepare a statement documenting the Operating Expenses of the
Company within 45 days after the end of each quarter.
11. OTHER SERVICES. Should the Board request that the Manager or any
partner or employee thereof render services for the Company other than as set
forth in Section 3 hereof, such services shall be separately compensated and
shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
12. FIDELITY BOND. The Manager shall maintain a fidelity bond for the
benefit of the Company which bond shall insure the Company from losses of up to
$5,000,000 and shall be of the type customarily purchased by entities performing
services similar to those provided to the Company by the Manager.
13. LIMITATION ON EXPENSES.
(a) If the aggregate Operating Expenses of the Company under this
Agreement and the Advisory Agreement during the 12-month period ending on the
last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company exceed the greater of (i) two
percent of the Average Invested Assets during the same 12-month period or (ii)
25% of the Adjusted Net Income of the Company during the same 12-month period,
then subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 13, such excess amount shall be
the sole responsibility of the Manager and the Company shall not be liable for
payment therefor.
14
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Manager
becomes responsible for any such excess amount as provided in paragraph (a), if
a majority of the Independent Directors finds such excess amount or a portion
thereof justified based on such unusual and non-recurring factors as they deem
sufficient, the Company shall reimburse the Manager in future quarters for the
full amount of such excess, or any portion thereof, but only to the extent such
reimbursement would not cause the Company's Operating Expenses to exceed the Two
Percent/25% Guidelines in the 12-month period ending on any such quarter. In no
event shall the Operating Expenses paid by the Company in any 12-month period
ending at the end of a fiscal quarter exceed the Two Percent/25% Guidelines.
(c) Within 60 days after the end of any twelve-month period referred
to in paragraph (a), the Manager shall reimburse the Company for any amounts
expended by the Company in such twelve-month period that exceeds the limitations
provided in paragraph (a) unless the Independent Directors determine that such
excess expenses are justified, as provided in paragraph (b), and provided the
aggregate Operating Expenses under this Agreement and the Advisory Agreement for
such later quarter would not thereby exceed the Two Percent/25% Guidelines. To
the extent the Company is reimbursed for such excess expenses by the Advisor,
the Company shall not also be entitled to reimbursement for such excess from the
Manager.
(d) All computations made under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section
13 shall be determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.
(e) If the Advisor receives a Subordinated Incentive Fee for the sale
of Property, Adjusted Net Income, for purposes of calculating Operating
Expenses, shall exclude the gain from the sale of such Property.
14. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE MANAGER. Nothing herein contained shall
prevent the Manager from engaging in other activities, including without
limitation direct investment by the Manager and its Affiliates in assets that
would be suitable for the Company, the rendering of services to other investors
(including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored
or organized by the Manager or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or
restrict the right of the Manager or any of its Affiliates or of any director,
officer, employee, partner or shareholder of the Manager or its Affiliates to
engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other
partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Manager
may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also
render service to each other participant therein. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that the Manager provides
or will provide services to other "Corporate Property Associates" or CPA(R) REIT
funds, whether now in existence or formed hereafter, and that the Manager and
its Affiliates may invest for their own account. The Manager shall be
responsible for promptly reporting to the Board the existence of any actual or
potential conflict of interest that arises that may affect its performance of
its duties under this Agreement.
Neither the Manager nor any Affiliate of the Manager shall be obligated
generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company even
if the opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Company, could
be taken by the Company.
15
15. RELATIONSHIP OF MANAGER AND COMPANY. The Company and the Manager
agree that they have not created and do not intend to create by this Agreement a
joint venture or partnership relationship between them and nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to make them partners or joint venturers or impose
any liability as partners or joint venturers on either of them.
16. TERM; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in
force until September 30, 2008 and thereafter shall be automatically renewed for
successive one year periods unless either party shall give notice in writing of
non renewal to the other party not less than 60 days before the end of any such
year.
17. TERMINATION BY COMPANY. At the sole option the Board (including a
majority of the Independent Directors), this Agreement may be terminated
immediately by written notice of termination from the Company to the Manager
upon the occurrence of events which would constitute Cause or if any of the
following events occur:
(a) If the Manager shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent by a
court of competent jurisdiction, or an order shall be made by a court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, or
trustee of the Manager, for all or substantially all of its property by
reason of the foregoing, or if a court of competent jurisdiction approves
any petition filed against the Manager for reorganization, and such
adjudication or order shall remain in force or unstayed for a period of 30
days; or
(b) If the Manager shall institute proceedings for voluntary
bankruptcy or shall file a petition seeking reorganization under the
federal bankruptcy laws, or for relief under any law for relief of debtors,
or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver for itself or for all or
substantially all of its property, or shall make a general assignment for
the benefit of its creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to
pay its debts, generally, as they become due.
Any notice of termination under Section 16 or 17 shall be effective on
the date specified in such notice, which may be the day on which such notice is
given or any date thereafter. The Manager agrees that if any of the events
specified in Section 17(a) or (b) shall occur, it shall give written notice
thereof to the Board within 15 days after the occurrence of such event.
18. TERMINATION BY EITHER PARTY. This Agreement may be terminated
immediately without penalty (but subject to the requirements of Section 20
hereof) by the Advisor by written notice of termination to the Company upon the
occurrence of events which would constitute Good Reason or by the Company
without cause or penalty (but subject to the requirements of Section 20 hereof)
by action of a majority of the Independent Directors or by action of a majority
of the Shareholders, in either case upon 60 days' written notice.
19. ASSIGNMENT PROHIBITION. This Agreement may not be assigned by the
Manager without the approval of the Board (including a majority of the
Independent Directors); provided, however, that such approval shall not be
required in the case of an assignment to a corporation, partnership,
association, trust or organization which may take over the assets and carry on
the
16
affairs of the Manager, provided: (i) that at the time of such assignment, such
successor organization shall be owned substantially by an entity directly or
indirectly controlled by the Sponsor and only if such entity has a net worth of
at least $5,000,000, and (ii) that the board of directors of the Manager shall
deliver to the Board a statement in writing indicating the ownership structure
and net worth of the successor organization and a certification from the new
Manager as to its net worth. Such an assignment shall bind the assignees
hereunder in the same manner as the Manager is bound by this Agreement. The
Manager may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this
Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board. This Agreement shall not
be assigned by the Company without the consent of the Manager, except in the
case of an assignment by the Company to a corporation or other organization
which is a successor to the Company, in which case such successor organization
shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner
as the Company is bound by this Agreement.
20. PAYMENTS TO AND DUTIES OF MANAGER UPON TERMINATION.
(a) After the Termination Date, the Manager shall not be entitled to
compensation for further services hereunder but shall be entitled to receive
from the Company the following:
(i) all unpaid reimbursements of Operating Expenses payable to
the Manager;
(ii) all earned but unpaid Asset Management Fees payable to the
Manager prior to the Termination Date;
(iii) all earned but unpaid Subordinated Disposition Fees
payable to the Advisor relating to the sale of any Property prior to
the Termination Date; and
(iv) all earned but unpaid Loan Refinancing Fees.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated by the Company
for Cause, or by the Manager for other than Good Reason, the Manager will not be
entitled to receive the sums in Section 18(a) above.
(b) Any and all amounts payable to the Advisor pursuant to Section
20(a) and Section 20(c) that, irrespective of the termination, were payable on a
current basis prior to the Termination Date either because they were not
subordinated or all conditions to their payment had been satisfied, shall be
paid within 90 days after the Termination Date. All other amounts payable to the
Advisor pursuant to Section 20(a) and Section 20(c) shall be paid in a manner
determined by the Board, but in no event on terms less favorable to the Advisor
than those represented by a note (i) maturing upon the liquidation of the
Company or three years from the Termination Date, whichever is earlier, (ii)
with no less than twelve equal quarterly installments and (iii) bearing a fair,
competitive and commercially reasonable interest rate (the "Note"). The Note, if
any, may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with accrued
interest to the date of payment but without premium or penalty. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any amounts that relate to Investment Assets (i) shall be an
amount which provides compensation to the Advisor only for that portion of the
holding period for the respective Investment Assets
17
during which the Advisor provided services to the Company, (ii) shall not be
due and payable until the Investment Asset to which such amount relates is sold
or refinanced, and (iii) shall not bear interest until the Investment Asset to
which such amount relates is sold or refinanced. A portion of the amount shall
be paid as each Investment Asset owned by the Company on the Termination Date is
sold. The portion of such amount payable upon each such sale shall be equal to
(i) such amount multiplied by (ii) the percentage calculated by dividing the
fair value (at the Termination Date) of the Investment Asset sold by the Company
divided by the total fair value (at the Termination Date) of all Investment
Assets owned by the Company on the Termination Date.
(c) The Manager shall promptly upon termination:
(i) pay over to the Company all money collected and held for the
account of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any
accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is
then entitled;
(ii) 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;
(iii) deliver to the Board all assets, including Properties, and
documents of the Company then in the custody of the Manager; and
(iv) cooperate with the Company to provide an orderly management
transition.
21. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY.
(a) The Company shall not indemnify the Manager or any of its
Affiliates for any loss or liability suffered by the Manager or the Affiliate,
or hold the Manager or the Affiliate harmless for any loss or liability suffered
by the Company, unless all of the following conditions are met:
(i) The Manager or Affiliate has determined, in good faith, that
the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the
best interests of the Company;
(ii) The Manager or the Affiliate was acting on behalf of or
performing services for the Company; and
(iii) Such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or
misconduct by the Manager or the Affiliate.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager and its Affiliates
shall not be indemnified by the Company for any losses, liabilities or expenses
arising from or out of the alleged violation of federal or state securities laws
unless one or more of the following conditions are met:
18
(i) There has been a successful adjudication on the merits of
each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the
particular indemnitee;
(ii) Such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the
merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular
indemnitee; or
(iii) A court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of
the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that
indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be
made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has
been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and of the published position of any state securities regulatory
authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as
to indemnification for violation of securities laws.
(c) The Company shall advance funds to the Manager or its Affiliates
for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for
which indemnification is being sought only if all of the following conditions
are satisfied:
(i) The legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect
to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company;
(ii) The legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a
Shareholder or the legal action is initiated by a Shareholder acting
in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction
specifically approves such advancement; and
(iii) The Manager or the Affiliate undertakes to repay the
advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate
of interest thereon, in cases in which such Manager or Affiliate is
found not to be entitled to indemnification.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager shall not be entitled
to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to this Section 19 for any
activity which the Manager shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the
Company pursuant to Section 20.
(e) Any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 19 shall be recoverable
or paid only out the net assets of the Company and not from Shareholders.
22. INDEMNIFICATION BY MANAGER. The Manager shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Company from liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and
related expenses including attorneys' fees, to the extent that such liability,
claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed
by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Manager's bad faith, fraud,
willful misfeasance, misconduct, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties.
23. NOTICES. Any notice, report or other communication required or
permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of
giving such notice, report or other communication is accepted by the party to

writing signed by both parties hereto, or their respective successors or
assignees.
25. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and
severable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered

enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

inconsistent with any of the terms hereof. This Agreement may not be modified or
amended other than by an agreement in writing.
28. INDULGENCES, NOT WAIVERS. Neither the failure nor any delay on the
part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor
shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any
occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege

32. NAME. W.P. Xxxxx & Co. LLC has a proprietary interest in the name
"Corporate Property Associates" and "CPA(R)." Accordingly, and in recognition of
this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain W.P. Xxxxx & Co. B.V.,
or an Affiliate thereof to perform the services of Manager, the Company will,
promptly after receipt of written request from W.P. Xxxxx & Co. B.V., cease to
conduct business under or use the name "Corporate Property Associates" or
"CPA(R)" or any diminutive thereof and the Company shall use its best efforts to
change the name of the Company to a name that does not contain the name
"Corporate Property Associates" or "CPA(R)" or any other word or words that
might, in the sole discretion of the Manager, be susceptible of indication of
some form of relationship between the Company and the Manager or any Affiliate
thereof. Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the
Manager or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future
organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles
(including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service
organizations having "Corporate Property Associates" or "CPA(R)" as a part of
their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to
