Such fees represent compensation to Equitable and VPCO in consideration for services performed pursuant to Articles V and VI and § 8.07 hereof and for the services required to enable each of them to commence as an investment manager. If for any reason the Investment Management Agreements with Equitable or VPCO are terminated prior to the time that such services are fully rendered, an appropirate adjustment of the one-time start-up fees shall be made within thirty days after such termination. 12.02. Recurring Fees.-The Trustees acting on behalf of the Fund shall pay equitable in quarterly installments a fee for its services as Fiduciary based on the value of the assets of the Fund over which Equitable is acting as Fiduciary; provided, however, that any assets of the Fund accepted for management by Equitable as an investment manager shall not be included in the calculation of such fee. The amount of the fee payable for each calendar quarter shall be equal to the sum of (a) .025% of the first $500,000,000 of such assets and (b) .0125% of that portion of such assets in excess of $500,000,000. The fee for each calendar quarter shall be based on the value of such assets at the end of such quarter, and shall be payable at the end of such quarter.

Before Equitable or VPCO shall contract on behalf of the Fund as a reimbursable expense pursuant hereto for any new appraisals, in connection with the initial Evaluation of any Real Estate-Related Asset, Equitable or VPCO, as the case may be, shall have concluded that the incurrence of such expenses are reasonable, necessary and otherwise in the best interests of the Fund, and, without the approval of the Trustees, shall not incur expenses for such new appraisals in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate.

ARTICLE III: ACCEPTANCE OF ASSETS FOR MANAGEMENT: INSPECTION, DOCUMENTATION AND EVALUATION 3.01 As soon as practicable after execution of this Agreement, a schedule of Real Estate-Related Assets allocated to Equitable for management, as provided in Article IV of the Master Agreement (the "Asset Schedule"), shall be supplied to Equitable by the Trustees. 3.02 Promptly following its receipt of the Asset Schedule, Equitable shall commence the Inspection and Documentation process described in § 5.04 of the Master Agreement with respect to the Real Estate-Related Assets allocated for acceptance for management to Equitable on the Asset Schedule. On the Closing Date as determined in accordance with Article XIV of the Master Agreement, each such asset, the existence and condition of which has been verified by Equitable's Inspection and which either has not been designated by Equitable for additional Documentation, or for which such additional Documentation has been completed, shall be submitted to Equitable for management under and pursuant to this Agreement, and, except as provided herein, Equitable shall immediately accept the management duties and responsibilities for such asset and promptly notify the Executive Director of the Fund and the custodian. From and after the Closing Date, Equitable shall proceed to complete or cause to be completed any Inspection or Documentation which was incomplete on the Closing Date as to any Real Estate-Related Asset allocated to it for its management. As Inspection and Documentation are completed as to each such asset, the asset shall be submitted to Equitable for management and, except as provided herein, Equitable shall immediately accept the management duties and responsibilities for such asset and shall promptly notify the Executive Director of the Fund and the custodian. Equitable shall be entitled in its sole discretion not to accept the management of any Real Estate-Related Asset. This right shall be exercised on the Closing Date except that, with respect to an asset as to which Inspection and Documentation were incomplete on the Closing Date, the right is to be exercised within thirty days after Equitable shall have completed such Inspection and Documentation. Pursuant to § 5.05 of the Master Agreement, any asset not accepted by Equitable pursuant hereto is to be accepted for management by VPCO within thirty days after such nonacceptance, with an appropriate reallocation of the investment management fees as between Equitable and VPCO. 3.03 During the time that the Inspection, Documentation and Evaluation of any asset is being conducted, and also after any asset of the Fund has been accepted for management, any action required of the Trustees, the Executive Director or the staff of the Fund in order to aid or assist in the performance by Equitable of its duties and responsibilities as contemplated by this Agreement shall be taken by those persons in such manner and at such times as may be reasonably requested by Equitable, including transfer by the Fund to the custodian of any item described in § 5.02 of the Master Agreement. 3.04 With respect to each Real Estate-Related Asset which is accepted by Equitable for management and which it does not recommend be valued at its book value, Equitable shall promptly prepare a Valuation File containing such materials and documents as are ordinarily and customarily employed in the valuation of Real Estate-Related Assets including but not limited to, where deemed appropriate and necessary by Equitable for such purpose, attorneys' opinions with respect to the validity and enforceability of the documentation evidencing, governing or pertaining to the asset; appraisals and all legal and collateral documents and summaries thereof; and a summary description of the asset, its history and all pertinent facts or circumstances relating to its value. Based on such materials and documents, Equitable shall recommend in the Valuation File the value of each such asset in accordance with statutory requirements. Each Valuation File and value recommendation shall be forwarded to the Trustees for agreement as to such value; if no such agreement as to value is reached, such Valuation File an valuation recommendation shall be forwarded to a Real Estate-Related Asset Valuation Committee (the "Real Estate Valuation Committee") composed of three disinterested persons experienced in the evaluation of Real Estate-Related Assets, who shall be paid reasonable fees by the Fund. All three members of the Real Estate Valuation Committee shall be selected by the Department of Labor from a list of nominees submitted for that purpose by Equitable and VPCO. The Real Estate Valuation Committee shall examine each Valuation File and Equitable's valuation recommendations, together with such other further information as may be available to or required by such Real Estate Valuation Committee, and shall establish by majority vote of such committee, within thirty days of its receipt of the Valuation File, a value for each Real Estate-Related Asset.
