CNL AMERICAN REALTY FUND, INC. PROSPECTUS
Shares of Common Stock Subject to Completion
$1,500,000 -- Minimum Dated __________, 1996
Minimum Purchase -- 250 Shares ($2,500)
100 Shares ($1,000) for IRAs and Keogh and Pension Plans
(Minimum purchase may be higher in certain states)
CNL AMERICAN REALTY FUND, INC. (the "Company") is a Maryland corporation
which intends to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a real estate
investment trust (a "REIT"). The Company may sell up to 16,500,000 Shares for a
maximum of $165,000,000. The Company has been formed primarily to acquire
properties (the "Properties") located across the United States to be leased on a
long term, "triple-net" basis. The Company intends to invest the proceeds of
this offering primarily in restaurant Properties to be leased to creditworthy
operators of selected national and regional fast-food, family-style and
casual-dining restaurant chains (the "Restaurant Chains"), although it also
intends to acquire and lease other types of net lease properties. Under the
Company's triple-net leases, the tenant will be responsible for property costs
associated with ongoing operations, including repairs, maintenance, property
taxes, utilities, and insurance. In addition, the leases will be structured to
require the tenant to pay base annual rent with (i) automatic increases in the
base rent and/or (ii) percentage rent based on gross sales above a specified
level. The Company also intends to provide financing for the purchase of
buildings, generally by tenants that lease the underlying land from the Company,
and for the purchase of buildings and the underlying land (the "Mortgage
Loans"). To a lesser extent, the Company intends to offer furniture, fixture and
equipment financing ("Secured Equipment Leases") to operators of Restaurant
Chains and other businesses. Secured Equipment Leases will be funded from the
proceeds of a loan in an amount up to 10% of Gross Proceeds (the "Loan") which
the Company intends to obtain. The Company is not a mutual fund or other type of
investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and
is not subject to regulation thereunder. The Company is not affiliated with the
United States Government.
There are significant risks associated with an investment in the Company
(see "Risk Factors" at Page 9), including the following:
o If the Company raises only $1,500,000 from sales of Shares, it will have
reduced diversification of its investments.
o The Company will rely on CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") with
respect to all investment decisions subject to approval by the Board of
Directors in certain circumstances. The experience of the Advisor and
Directors of the Company with mortgage financing and equipment leasing is
limited.
o The Advisor and its Affiliates are or will be engaged in other activities
that will result in potential conflicts of interest with the services that
the Advisor will provide to the Company.
o The Company currently owns no Properties, and investors, therefore, will
not have the opportunity to evaluate the Properties that the Company will
acquire.
o There is currently no public trading market for the Shares, and there is
no assurance that one will develop.
o If the Shares are not listed on a national securities exchange or
over-the-counter market ("Listing") within ten years of commencement of
the offering, as to which there can be no assurance, the Company will
commence the orderly sale of its assets and the distribution of the
proceeds. Listing does not assure liquidity.
o The Secured Equipment Lease program is dependent upon obtaining the Loan.
o Market and economic conditions that the Company cannot control will have
an effect (either positive or negative) on the value of the Company's
investments and the amount of cash that the Company receives from tenants.
o The Company may incur debt, including debt to make Distributions to
stockholders in order to maintain its status as a REIT.
THE COMPANY'S PRIMARY INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES are to preserve, protect, and
enhance the Company's assets while (i) making Distributions commencing in the
initial year of Company operations; (ii) obtaining fixed income through the
receipt of base rent, and increasing the Company's income (and Distributions)
and providing protection against inflation through automatic increases in base
rent and receipt of percentage rent, and obtaining fixed income through the
receipt of payments from Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases; (iii)
qualifying as a REIT for federal income tax purposes; and (iv) providing
stockholders of the Company with liquidity of their investment within five to
ten years after commencement of the offering, either in whole or in part,
through (a) Listing, or (b) the commencement of orderly sales of the Company's
assets, and distribution of the proceeds thereof (outside the ordinary course of
business and consistent with its objective of qualifying as a REIT). There can
be no assurance that these investment objectives will be met.
This Prospectus describes an investment in Shares of the Company. The
Company will use the proceeds from the sale of Shares to purchase Properties and
to make Mortgage Loans. The Company also intends to borrow money to purchase
Properties and make Mortgage Loans as well as to fund Secured Equipment Leases.
No stockholder may hold more than 9.8% of the total Shares. Of the proceeds from
the sale of Shares, approximately 84% will be used to acquire Properties and
make Mortgage Loans, and approximately 9% will be paid in fees and expenses to
Affiliates of the Company for their services and as reimbursement for
Organizational and Offering Expenses incurred on behalf of the Company; the
balance will be used to pay other expenses of the offering. The Company has
registered an offering of 16,500,000 Shares, with 1,500,000 of such Shares
available only to stockholders purchasing Shares in this initial public offering
who receive a copy of this Prospectus and who elect to participate in the
Company's reinvestment plan (the "Reinvestment Plan"). Any participation in such
plan by a person who becomes a stockholder otherwise than by participating in
this offering must be made pursuant to a solicitation under a separate
prospectus. See "Summary of Reinvestment Plan."
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A
CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

(1) If the minimum of 150,000 Shares is sold, CNL Securities Corp. (the
"Managing Dealer") will receive Selling Commissions of 7.5% on sales of
Shares, subject to reduction in certain circumstances. The Managing Dealer,
which is an Affiliate of the Company, may engage other broker-dealers that
are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or other
entities exempt from broker-dealer registration (collectively, the
"Soliciting Dealers") to sell Shares and reallow to them commissions of up
to 7% with respect to Shares which they sell. The amounts indicated for
Selling Commissions assume that reduced Selling Commissions are not paid in
connection with the purchase of any Shares and do not include a 0.5%
marketing support and due diligence expense reimbursement fee payable to the
Managing Dealer, all or a portion of which may be reallowed to certain
Soliciting Dealers. Such amounts also do not include a Soliciting Dealer
Servicing Fee payable to the Managing Dealer by the Company (see "Management
Compensation"), all or a portion of which may be reallowed to certain
Soliciting Dealers. See "The Offering -- Plan of Distribution" for a
discussion of the circumstances under which reduced Selling Commissions may
be paid and a description of the marketing support and due diligence expense
reimbursement fee payable to the Managing Dealer.
(2) Before deducting (i) organizational and offering expenses of the Company
estimated to be 3% of gross offering proceeds computed at $10.00 per Share
sold ("Gross Proceeds") and (ii) the marketing support and due diligence
expense reimbursement fee. Organizational and offering expenses exclude
Selling Commissions and the marketing support and due diligence
reimbursement fee.
(3) Assumes that the Managing Dealer exercises its option to sell an additional
5,000,000 Shares in the event the offering is oversubscribed. Also includes
1,500,000 Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Company's Reinvestment
Plan. Those stockholders who elect to participate in the Reinvestment Plan
will have their Distributions reinvested in additional Shares.
NEITHER THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK NOR THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY OR THE BUREAU OF SECURITIES OF THE STATE OF
NEW JERSEY HAS PASSED ON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING. ANY
REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.
--------------------------------------------
All subscription funds for Shares will be deposited in an
interest-bearing escrow account with SouthTrust Asset Management Company of
Florida, N.A., which will act as the escrow agent for this offering, until
subscription funds for the Company's Shares total $1,500,000. Subscription funds
will be released from escrow to the Company to be used for Company purposes
within approximately 30 days after the minimum is reached. No sale of Shares
shall be completed until at least five business days after the date on which the
subscriber receives a copy of this Prospectus. No Shares will be sold unless
subscriptions for at least 150,000 Shares ($1,500,000) have been obtained within
one year after the initial date of this Prospectus. In no event will
subscription funds be held in escrow for longer than one year, and any refunds
of subscriptions due to the failure of the Company to reach the required minimum
shall be returned with interest. Pursuant to the requirements of the
Commissioners of Securities of Iowa and Minnesota, the Attorney General of the
State of New York, the Director of the Division of Securities of Ohio, and the
Commissioner of Securities of the State of Pennsylvania, subscriptions from
Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania residents may not be released
from escrow, or included in determining whether the $1,500,000 minimum for the
Company has been reached, until subscriptions for Shares totalling at least
$2,500,000 (for Iowa, Minnesota, New York, and Ohio investors) and $8,250,000
(for Pennsylvania investors) have been received from all sources. The offering
of Shares will terminate no later than ________ ___, 1997 (one year after the
initial date of this Prospectus), unless the Company elects to extend it to a
date no later than ________ ___, 1998 (two years after the initial date of this
Prospectus), in states that permit such extension.
PENNSYLVANIA INVESTORS: Because the minimum offering is less than
$16,500,000, all Pennsylvania investors are cautioned to evaluate carefully the
Company's ability fully to accomplish its stated objectives and to inquire as to
the current dollar volume of subscriptions for the Shares.

ANY STATE IN WHICH SUCH OFFER OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL, AND NO SUBSCRIPTION
WILL BE ACCEPTED FROM ANY PERSON WHO DOES NOT MEET THE SUITABILITY STANDARDS SET
FORTH HEREIN. NEITHER THE DELIVERY OF THIS PROSPECTUS NOR ANY SALE HEREUNDER
SHALL CREATE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, AN IMPLICATION THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO
CHANGE IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY SINCE THE DATE HEREOF. IF, HOWEVER, ANY
MATERIAL CHANGE OCCURS WHILE THIS PROSPECTUS IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE DELIVERED,
THIS PROSPECTUS WILL BE AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED ACCORDINGLY.
THE USE OF FORECASTS IN THIS OFFERING IS PROHIBITED. ANY REPRESENTATIONS
TO THE CONTRARY, AND ANY PREDICTIONS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, AS TO THE AMOUNT OR
CERTAINTY OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE CASH BENEFIT OR TAX CONSEQUENCE WHICH MAY

SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING
THIS SECTION SUMMARIZES CERTAIN INFORMATION CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS AND IS INTENDED FOR QUICK REFERENCE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVESTMENT. POTENTIAL STOCKHOLDERS MUST READ AND EVALUATE THE
FULL TEXT OF THIS PROSPECTUS AND ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS ATTACHED AS EXHIBITS
HERETO IN ORDER TO EVALUATE AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY. THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY
THEREFORE IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE FULL TEXT OF THIS
PROSPECTUS AND THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS.
CNL AMERICAN REALTY FUND, INC.
CNL American Realty Fund, Inc. (the "Company") is a Maryland corporation which
intends to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a real estate investment
trust (a "REIT"). The Company's address is 400 East South Street, Suite 500,
Orlando, Florida 32801, telephone (407) 422-1574 or toll free (800) 522-3863.
The Company has been formed primarily to acquire properties (the "Properties")
to be leased on a long-term (generally, 15 to 20 years, plus renewal options for
an additional 10 to 20 years), "triple-net" basis, which means that the tenant
will be responsible for repairs, maintenance, property taxes, utilities, and
insurance. The Company intends to invest the proceeds of this offering primarily
in restaurant Properties located across the United States to be leased to
creditworthy operators of selected national and regional fast-food, family-style
and casualdining restaurant chains (the "Restaurant Chains"). The Company also
intends to acquire and lease other types of net lease properties. The Company
expects to structure the leases of its Properties to provide for payment of base
annual rent with (i) automatic increases in base rent and/or (ii) percentage
rent based on gross sales above a certain level. The Company intends to offer
financing for the purchase of buildings, generally by tenants that lease the
underlying land from the Company, and for the purchase of buildings and the
underlying land (the "Mortgage Loans"). The Company expects that the economic
effects of the Mortgage Loans for the purchase of buildings will be similar to
those of its leases (generally with full repayment in 15 to 20 years). The
Company also intends to borrow money to acquire Properties and make Mortgage
Loans. The Company plans to obtain a line of credit (the "Line of Credit") in an
amount up to $45,000,000, the proceeds of which will be used to acquire
Properties and make Mortgage Loans. The Line of Credit will provide short-term
financing which the Company anticipates will be repaid using additional offering
proceeds or refinanced on a long-term basis. The Company also plans to obtain
long-term financing (the "Permanent Financing") in an amount up to 30% of Gross
Proceeds of the offering, the proceeds of which will be used to acquire
Properties, make Mortgage Loans and refinance short-term indebtedness on the
Line of Credit. In order to increase its potential return, the Company may
"securitize" Mortgage Loans provided to finance the purchase of buildings and
the underlying land by transferring such Mortgage Loans into one or more special
purpose financing vehicles which, in turn, would divide the total pool of
Mortgage Loans into separate series of participation interests, called
"tranches," and would issue two or more series of participation interests. The
Company would retain one or more of the subordinated series of participation
interests. The Company also may transfer such Mortgage Loans into one or more
special purpose financing vehicles into which Affiliates of the Company would
also transfer the same type of loans. The Company also will offer furniture,
fixtures and equipment ("Equipment") financing to operators of restaurant and
other types of properties pursuant to which the Company will provide, through
direct financing leases, the Equipment (collectively, the "Secured Equipment
Leases"). The Company plans to obtain a loan (the "Loan") in an amount up to 10%
of Gross Proceeds of the offering, the proceeds of which will be used to fund
the Secured Equipment Leases. No offering proceeds will be used for the purpose
of funding Secured Equipment Leases. The Company is engaged in preliminary
discussions with potential lenders but has not yet obtained a commitment letter
for the Line of Credit, any Permanent Financing or the Loan, and may not be able
to obtain the Line of Credit, the Permanent Financing or the Loan on
satisfactory terms. See "Business" for a description of the types of Properties
that may be selected by the Advisor, the Property selection and acquisition
processes, and the nature of the Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases.
Under the Company's Articles of Incorporation, on December 31, 2006, unless the
shares of Common Stock of the Company, including the shares offered hereby (the
"Shares"), are listed on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter
market ("Listing"), in which event the Company automatically will become a
perpetual life entity, or unless the stockholders owning a majority of the
Shares elect to amend the Articles of Incorporation to extend the duration of
the Company, the Company will undertake, outside the ordinary course of business
and consistent with its objective of qualifying as a REIT, the orderly Sale of
the Company's assets, the
<PAGE>
distribution of Net Sales Proceeds of such Sales to stockholders and the
limitation of its activities to those related to its orderly liquidation. See
"Risk Factors -- Real Estate and Financing Risks" for a complete discussion of
risks relating to future disposition of the Company's assets. The Board of
Directors may elect to cause the Company to encumber any or all of the Company's
Properties in connection with any borrowing. The Board of Directors anticipates
that the aggregate amount of such borrowing at the conclusion of the offering
will not exceed 40% of Gross Proceeds (including the Permanent Financing and the
Loan) although the maximum amount the Company may borrow is 300% of Net Assets.
Any excess in borrowing over such 300% level shall be approved by a majority of
the Independent Directors and disclosed to stockholders in the next quarterly
report of the Company, along with the justification for such excess. In general,
Net Assets are the Company's total assets (other than intangibles), calculated
at cost, less total liabilities. As a perpetual life entity following Listing,
the Company would not be required to dissolve and return capital to
stockholders. If Listing occurs, in order to liquidate their investment
stockholders would have to sell their Shares in the market on which the Shares
are traded. Listing is no assurance of liquidity. See "Risk Factors --
Investment Risks" for a discussion of risks associated with the lack of
liquidity of the Shares and with borrowing. In addition, following Listing the
Company intends to reinvest proceeds from Sales of assets rather than distribute
such proceeds to stockholders.
RISK FACTORS
The "Risk Factors" section discusses in detail the more important risks
associated with an investment in the Company, including risks associated with an
investment in a real estate investment trust such as the Company, risks
associated with an investment in real estate such as the Properties, risks
associated with the Mortgage Loans, risks associated with Secured Equipment
Leases, risks associated with borrowing and tax risks. These risks include:
o Risks of reduced diversification in the Company's investments if the
Company raises only $1,500,000 from sales of Shares.
o Risks of reliance on CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") and the
Board of Directors, which together will have responsibility for the
management of the Company and its investments, subject to the ability of
the stockholders to elect the Directors.
o Risks relating to the fact that the services to be performed by the
Advisor and its Affiliates for the Company in connection with the
offering, the selection and acquisition of the Properties, the making of
Mortgage Loans, the administration of the Secured Equipment Lease
program and the general operation of the Company will result in
conflicts of interest.
o Risks related to the fact that, because the Company currently owns no
Properties, stockholders will not have the opportunity to evaluate the
Properties that the Company will acquire.
o Risks that stockholders who must sell their Shares will not be able to
sell them quickly because it is not anticipated that there will be a
public market for the Shares in the near term, and there can be no
assurance that Listing will occur.
o Risks that the Company has not yet obtained a commitment for the Loan,
and may be unable to obtain the Loan on satisfactory terms, thereby
affecting its ability to offer Secured Equipment Leases.
o Market risks associated with investments in real estate, which means
that the amount of cash the Company will receive from tenants, lessees
and borrowers cannot be predicted.
o Risks that the Company may incur debt, including debt to make
Distributions to stockholders in order to maintain its status as a REIT.
o Risks that the Company may, in connection with any borrowing, encumber
Properties.
o Risks of defaults by tenants, lessees or borrowers resulting in
decreased income.
-2-
<PAGE>
o Risks relating to the fact that the vote of stockholders owning at least
a majority but less than all of the Shares will bind all of the
stockholders as to matters such as the election of Directors and
amendment of the Company's governing documents.
o Risks that restrictions on ownership of more than 9.8% of the shares of
the Company's Common Stock (the "Common Stock") by any single
stockholder or certain related stockholders may have the effect of
inhibiting a change in control of the Company even if such a change is
in the interest of a majority of the stockholders.
o Risks that the Company may not qualify or remain qualified as a REIT for
federal income tax purposes, which could result in subjecting the
Company to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate
rates, thereby reducing the amount of funds available for paying
Distributions to stockholders.
ESTIMATED USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will use the proceeds of the sale of the Shares to acquire
Properties, to make Mortgage Loans, generally in connection with such
acquisitions, and to pay expenses relating to the organization of the Company
and the sale of the Shares. Management of the Company and the Advisor have
estimated an average purchase price of $800,000 to $900,000 per Property based
on their past experience in acquiring similar properties and in light of current
market conditions, although prices of Properties may be lower or higher. See
"Business -General." If only 150,000 Shares ($1,500,000) are sold, the Company
will acquire no more than two Properties and as a result the Company will have
reduced diversification of its investments. Assuming CNL Securities Corp. (the
"Managing Dealer") exercises its option to increase the offering from 10,000,000
Shares ($100,000,000) to up to 15,000,000 Shares ($150,000,000) and 15,000,000
Shares are sold, the Company will acquire approximately 140 to 160 Properties.
In addition, the Company has registered an offering of an additional 1,500,000
Shares ($15,000,000) available only to stockholders who receive a copy of this
Prospectus and who elect to participate in the Company's reinvestment plan (the
"Reinvestment Plan"). See "Estimated Use of Proceeds" and "Business -- General"
for a more detailed description of the anticipated use of offering proceeds. The
Company may also use the proceeds of the Line of Credit and the Permanent
Financing to purchase Properties and make Mortgage Loans. Secured Equipment
Leases will be funded solely from the proceeds of the Loan.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Certain officers and Directors of the Company who are also officers or
directors of the Advisor will experience conflicts of interest in their
management of the Company. These arise principally from their involvement in
other activities that will conflict with those of the Company and include
matters related to (i) allocation of properties and management time and services
between the Company and various partnerships and other entities, (ii) the timing
and terms of the sale of a Property, (iii) negotiation and funding of Mortgage
Loans, (iv) administration of the Secured Equipment Lease program, (v)
investments with Affiliates of the Advisor, (vi) compensation of the Advisor,
(vii) the Company's relationship with the Managing Dealer, which is an Affiliate
of the Company and the Advisor, and (viii) the fact that the Company's
securities and tax counsel also serves as securities and tax counsel for certain
Affiliates of the Company, and that neither the Company nor the stockholders
will have separate counsel.
The Directors of the Company who are independent of the Advisor (the
"Independent Directors") are responsible for monitoring the activities of the
Advisor and must approve all of the Advisor's actions that involve a potential
conflict other than certain such actions specifically permitted by the Articles
of Incorporation. The "Conflicts of Interest" section discusses in more detail
the more significant of these potential conflicts of interest, as well as the
procedures that have been established to resolve a number of these potential
conflicts.
MANAGEMENT
The Company has retained the Advisor, pursuant to an advisory agreement, to
handle the day-to-day operations of the Company, to select the Company's real
estate investments, and to administer its Secured Equipment Lease program. The
five members of the Board of Directors will oversee the management of the
-3-
<PAGE>
Company. Three of the Directors of the Company are independent of the Advisor
and have responsibility for reviewing its performance. The Directors are
elected to the Board of Directors annually by the stockholders.
All of the officers and directors of the Advisor also are officers or Directors
of the Company. The Advisor will have responsibility for (i) selecting the
Properties that the Company will acquire, formulating and evaluating the terms
of each proposed acquisition, and arranging for the acquisition of the Property
by the Company, (ii) identifying potential lessees for the Properties and
potential borrowers for the Mortgage Loans, and formulating, evaluating, and
negotiating the terms of each lease of a Property and each Mortgage Loan, (iii)
locating and identifying potential lessees and formulating, evaluating, and
negotiating the terms of each Secured Equipment Lease, and (iv) negotiating the
terms of any borrowing by the Company, including the Line of Credit, the
Permanent Financing and the Loan. All of the foregoing actions are subject to
approval by the Board of Directors. The Advisor also will have the authority,
subject to approval by a majority of the Board of Directors, including a
majority of the Independent Directors, to select assets for Sale in keeping with
the Company's investment objectives and based on an analysis of economic
conditions both nationally and in the vicinity of the assets being considered
for Sale.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that, if Listing does not occur
within ten years from the commencement of this offering, the Company will
commence orderly Sales of its assets and distribute the proceeds thereof. In
that case, the Company will engage only in activities related to its orderly
liquidation unless the stockholders elect otherwise.
See "Management" and "The Advisor and the Advisory Agreement" for a description
of the business background of the individuals responsible for the management of
the Company and the Advisor, as well as for a description of the services that
the Advisor will provide.
MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION
The Advisor, the Managing Dealer, and other Affiliates of the Advisor will
receive compensation for services they will perform for the Company and also
will receive expense reimbursements from the Company for expenses they pay on
behalf of the Company. The following paragraphs summarize the more significant
items of compensation. See "Management Compensation" for a complete description.
In connection with the formation of the Company and the offering of the Shares,
the Managing Dealer will receive Selling Commissions of 7.5% (a maximum of
$11,250,000 if 15,000,000 Shares are sold), and a marketing support and due
diligence expense reimbursement fee of 0.5% (a maximum of $750,000 if 15,000,000
Shares are sold), of the total amount raised from the sale of Shares, computed
at $10.00 per Share sold ("Gross Proceeds"). The Managing Dealer in turn may
reallow Selling Commissions of up to 7% on Shares sold, and all or a portion of
the 0.5% marketing support and due diligence expense reimbursement fee, to
certain Soliciting Dealers who are not Affiliates of the Company. In addition,
the Company will incur a Soliciting Dealer Servicing Fee in the amount of .20%
of Invested Capital (as defined below) (a maximum of $300,000 if 15,000,000
Shares are sold). The Soliciting Dealer Servicing Fee will be payable on
December 31 of each year, commencing on December 31 of the year following the
year in which the offering terminates, and generally will be payable to the
Managing Dealer, which in turn may reallow all or a portion of such fee to
Soliciting Dealers whose clients held Shares on such date. The Company also may
pay the Soliciting Dealer Servicing Fee directly to any Soliciting Dealer exempt
from registration as a broker-dealer and whose clients hold Shares on such date.
In general, the stockholders' investment in the Company ("Invested Capital") is
the number of Shares they own, multiplied by $10.00 per Share, reduced by the
portion of all prior Distributions received by stockholders from the Sale of
assets of the Company and by any amounts paid by the Company to repurchase
Shares pursuant to the redemption plan.
For identifying the Properties, structuring the terms of the acquisition and
leases of the Properties and structuring the terms of the Mortgage Loans, the
Advisor will receive a fee equal to 4.5% of Gross Proceeds and loan proceeds
from Permanent Financing (collectively, "Total Proceeds") ($6,750,000 if
15,000,000 Shares are sold and an additional $2,025,000 if total Permanent
Financing equals $45,000,000), payable as Acquisition Fees.
For managing the Properties and the Mortgage Loans, the Advisor will be
entitled to receive a monthly Asset Management Fee of one-twelfth of .60% of the
Company's Real Estate Asset Value (generally, the total
-4-
<PAGE>
amount invested in the Properties, exclusive of Acquisition Fees and Acquisition
Expenses) plus the total outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loans as
of the end of the preceding month.
For negotiating Secured Equipment Leases and supervising the Secured Equipment
Lease program, the Advisor will be entitled to receive from the Company a
one-time Secured Equipment Lease Servicing Fee of 2% of the purchase price of
the Equipment that is the subject of a Secured Equipment Lease.
Prior to Listing, the Advisor may receive a real estate disposition fee of 3%
of the gross sales price of one or more Properties for providing substantial
services in connection with the Sale, which will be deferred and subordinated
until the stockholders have received Distributions equal to the sum of an
aggregate, annual, cumulative, noncompounded 8% return on their Invested
Capital, (the "Stockholders' 8% Return") plus 100% of the stockholders'
aggregate Invested Capital. Upon Listing, if the Advisor has accrued but not
been paid such real estate disposition fee, then for purposes of determining
whether the subordination conditions have been satisfied, stockholders will be
deemed to have received a Distribution in an amount equal to the product of the
total number of Shares outstanding and the average closing prices of the Shares
over a period, beginning 180 days after Listing, of 30 days during which the
Shares are traded. See "The Advisor and The Advisory Agreement -- The Advisory
Agreement."
A deferred, subordinated share of Net Sales Proceeds will be paid to the
Advisor from Sales of assets of the Company in an amount equal to 10% of Net
Sales Proceeds. This amount will be subordinated and paid only after the
stockholders have received Distributions equal to the sum of 100% of the
stockholders' aggregate Invested Capital plus the Stockholders' 8% Return.
Payment of certain fees is subject to conditions and restrictions or to change
under certain specified circumstances. The Advisor and its Affiliates also may
receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses that they incur on behalf of
the Company, subject to certain expense limitations, and a subordinated
incentive fee if Listing occurs.
SUMMARY OF REINVESTMENT PLAN
The Company has established the Reinvestment Plan pursuant to which
stockholders may elect to have their cash Distributions from the Company
automatically reinvested in Shares. See "Summary of Reinvestment Plan," "Federal
Income Tax Considerations -- Taxation of Stockholders," and the form of
Reinvestment Plan accompanying this Prospectus as Exhibit A for more specific
information about the Reinvestment Plan. Expenses incurred in connection with
the Reinvestment Plan, including Selling Commissions and marketing support and
due diligence expense reimbursement fees, will be paid by the Company. A person
who becomes a stockholder otherwise than by participating in this offering may
purchase Shares through the Reinvestment Plan only after receipt of a separate
prospectus relating solely to the Reinvestment Plan.
BUSINESS (PURCHASE AND SALE OF PROPERTIES AND OFFERING OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND
SECURED EQUIPMENT LEASES)
Properties and Mortgage Loans. The types of Properties which the Company
intends to purchase and lease to third parties are described in the section
entitled "Business." The Properties, which typically will be freestanding and
will be located across the United States, will generally be leased on a
long-term, "triple-net" basis to creditworthy operators to be selected by the
Advisor and approved by the Board of Directors. The Properties may consist of
both land and building, the land underlying the building with the building owned
by the tenant or a third party, or the building only with the land owned by a
third party. It is expected that the Company will invest the proceeds of this
offering primarily in restaurant Properties to be leased to operators of
Restaurant Chains, although it will also invest in other types of net lease
Properties. Management intends to structure the Company's investments to allow
it to participate, to the maximum extent possible, in any sales growth in the
applicable industries, as reflected in the Properties that it owns. Management
expects to acquire Properties in part with a view to diversification among
Restaurant Chains, among other businesses and of the geographic location of the
Properties.
-5-
<PAGE>
To a lesser extent the Company will offer Mortgage Loans to finance the
purchase of buildings, generally by tenants that lease the underlying land from
the Company, and to finance the purchase of buildings and the underlying land.
In circumstances in which the Company owns the land underlying the building to
be financed and the borrower under the Mortgage Loan also enters into a
long-term ground lease for the underlying land, management believes that the
combined leasing and financing structure will provide the benefit of allowing
the Company to receive the return of its initial investment plus interest on the
financed building, which is generally a depreciating asset, while retaining the
ownership of the underlying land, which may appreciate in value. In
circumstances in which the Company finances the building and the underlying
land, the Company may securitize the Mortgage Loans which management believes
will potentially increase the return to the Company. However, only one of the
prior programs organized by Affiliates of the Company has offered Mortgage Loans
and the experience of the Advisor and Directors of the Company with mortgage
financing is limited. See "Risk Factors -- Investment Risks -- Risks Associated
with Mortgage Loans."
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company had not purchased any Properties
or entered into any arrangements that create a reasonable probability that the
Company will purchase any Properties. The Company has undertaken to supplement
this Prospectus during the offering period to describe the acquisition of
Properties at such time as the Company believes that a reasonable probability
exists that a Property will be acquired by the Company. Based upon the
experience of management of the Company and the Advisor and the proposed
acquisition methods, a reasonable probability that the Company will acquire a
Property normally will occur as of the date on which (i) a commitment letter is
executed by a proposed lessee, (ii) a satisfactory credit underwriting for the
proposed lessee has been completed and (iii) a satisfactory site inspection has
been completed. See "Business--General."
The Company has established certain conflict resolution procedures relating to
(i) transactions between the Company and the Advisor or its Affiliates, (ii)
certain future offerings, and (iii) allocation of properties among certain
affiliated entities. See "Conflicts of Interest -- Certain Conflict Resolution
Procedures."
Secured Equipment Leases. The Secured Equipment Leases will be funded solely
from the proceeds of the Loan. The Company expects that the Secured Equipment
Leases will be structured so that they will be treated as loans secured by
personal property for federal income tax purposes. The Company has neither
identified any prospective operators of Restaurant Chains or other business
chains that will participate in such financing arrangements nor negotiated any
specific terms of a Secured Equipment Lease. See "Business -- General."
--------------------------------
For the first five to ten years after commencement of this offering, the
Company intends to use any proceeds from the Sale of Properties or Mortgage
Loans that are not required to be distributed to stockholders in order to
preserve the Company's status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes to
acquire additional Properties, make additional Mortgage Loans and repay
outstanding indebtedness. The proceeds from the Sale of Secured Equipment Leases
will be used to fund additional Secured Equipment Leases or to reduce the
Company's outstanding indebtedness on the Loan. At or prior to the end of the
ten-year period, the Company intends to provide stockholders of the Company with
liquidity of their investment, either in whole or in part, through Listing
(although this is no assurance of liquidity), or by commencing orderly Sales of
the Company's assets. If Listing occurs, the Company intends to reinvest in
additional Properties, Mortgage Loans, and Secured Equipment Leases, or use to
repay outstanding indebtedness any Net Sales Proceeds not required to be
distributed to stockholders in order to preserve the Company's status as a REIT.
See "Business -- General" and "Business -- Sale of Properties, Mortgage Loans,
and Secured Equipment Leases."
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company's primary investment objectives are:
o to preserve, protect, and enhance the Company's assets.
o to make Distributions commencing in the initial year of Company
operations.
-6-
<PAGE>
o to obtain fixed income through the receipt of base rent, as well as to
increase the Company's income (and Distributions) and provide protection
against inflation through automatic increases in base rent and receipt
of percentage rent, and to obtain fixed income through the receipt of
payments on Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases.
o to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes.
o to provide stockholders of the Company with liquidity of their
investment within five to ten years after commencement of the offering
either through (i) Listing, although liquidity cannot be assured
thereby, or (ii) outside the ordinary course of business and consistent
with its objective of qualifying as a REIT, the commencement of orderly
Sales of the Company's assets and distribution of the proceeds thereof.
The Company intends to meet these objectives by following certain investment
policies discussed herein, as summarized on the preceding pages. See "Business
- -- General," "Business -- Site Selection and Acquisition of Properties,"
"Business -- Description of Leases," and "Investment Objectives and Policies"
for a more complete description of the manner in which the structure of the
Company's business will facilitate the Company's ability to meet its investment
objectives. There can be no assurance that these objectives will be met. The
Company's investment objectives are subject to review by the Independent
Directors and may not be changed without the approval of stockholders owning a
majority of the shares of outstanding Common Stock.
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES
A stockholder's investment will be recorded on the books of the Company. The
Company will provide, upon the request of any stockholder wishing to transfer
his or her Shares, a transfer form to be completed and executed by the
stockholder and returned to the Company. The Company will not issue share
certificates.
After the termination of the offering, any stockholder may request that the
Company redeem for cash all or a significant portion of such stockholder's
Shares. The sole source of funds for any such requested redemption will be the
net proceeds available from the sale of Shares pursuant to the Reinvestment
Plan. There can be no assurance that such net proceeds will be sufficient to
permit the Company to redeem all such Shares presented for redemption. See
"Redemption of Shares."
An annual meeting of stockholders will be held each year for the election of
the Directors. Other business matters may be presented at the annual meeting or
at special stockholder meetings. Each Share is entitled to one vote on each
matter to be voted on by stockholders, including the election of the Directors.
Stockholders who do not vote with the majority of Shares entitled to vote on
questions presented nonetheless will be bound by the majority vote.
Stockholder approval is required under Maryland law and the Company's Articles
of Incorporation and Bylaws for certain types of transactions. Generally, the
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may be amended upon a majority vote of
stockholders. Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares must approve a
merger or a sale or other disposition of substantially all of the Company's
assets other than in the ordinary course of business. Stockholders objecting to
the terms of a merger, sale, or other disposition of substantially all of the
Company's assets have the right to petition a court for the appraisal and
payment of the fair value of their Shares in certain instances. The affirmative
vote of a majority of the Shares outstanding and entitled to vote is required to
approve the voluntary dissolution of the Company.
In order to facilitate compliance with certain restrictions imposed on REITs by
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Articles of
Incorporation generally restrict direct or indirect ownership (applying certain
attribution rules) of more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
by one Person, as defined in the Articles of Incorporation. See "Summary of the
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws--Restriction on Ownership."
-7-
<PAGE>
For a more complete description of the Shares and the capital structure of the
Company, please refer to the "Summary of the Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws -- Description of Capital Stock" section of the Prospectus.
DISTRIBUTION POLICY
Consistent with the Company's objective of qualifying as a REIT, the Company
expects to calculate and declare Distributions monthly during the offering
period, and quarterly thereafter, and make Distributions quarterly commencing
not later than the close of the first full calendar quarter after the first
release of funds from escrow to the Company. The Board of Directors, in its
discretion, will determine the amount of the Distributions made by the Company,
which amount will depend primarily on net cash from operations. The Company
intends to increase Distributions in accordance with increases in net cash from
operations. Consistent with the Company's objective of qualifying as a REIT, the
Company expects to distribute at least 95% of its real estate investment trust
taxable income, although the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may increase
that percentage as it deems appropriate. If the cash available to the Company is
insufficient to make Distributions, the Company may obtain the needed cash by
borrowing funds, issuing new securities, or selling assets. These methods of
obtaining cash could affect future Distributions by increasing operating costs
or reducing income. In such an event, it is possible that the Company could pay
Distributions in excess of its earnings and profits and, accordingly, that such
Distributions could constitute a return of capital for federal income tax
purposes, although such Distributions would not reduce stockholders' aggregate
Invested Capital.
PRIOR PERFORMANCE OF AFFILIATES
The "Prior Performance Information" section of this Prospectus contains a
narrative discussion of the public and private real estate limited partnerships
sponsored by Affiliates of the Company and of the Advisor during the past ten
years, including 17 public limited partnerships and one unlisted public REIT
formed to invest in restaurants leased on a "triple-net" basis to operators of
national and regional fast-food, family-style and casualdining restaurant
chains. As of December 31, 1995, these entities, which purchase properties
similar to those to be acquired by the Company, had purchased 646 fast-food and
family-style restaurant properties. Based on an analysis of the operating
results of the 79 real estate limited partnerships and one unlisted public REIT
in which principals of the Company have served, individually or with others, as
general partners or officers and directors, the Company believes that each of
such entities has met, or currently is in the process of meeting, its principal
investment objectives. Certain statistical data relating to the public limited
partnerships and the one unlisted REIT with investment objectives similar to
those of the Company are contained in Exhibit C--Prior Performance Tables.
TAX STATUS OF THE COMPANY
The Company will make the election under Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to be taxed as a REIT under the Code
beginning with its taxable year ending December 31, 1996. As a REIT for federal
income tax purposes, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income
tax on income that it distributes to its stockholders. Under the Code, REITs are
subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a
requirement that they distribute at least 95% of their taxable income, as
figured on an annual basis. If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a
REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax (including
any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular
corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for
federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which
qualification is lost. See "Risk Factors -- Tax Risks" and "Federal Income Tax
Considerations." Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes, it may be subject to certain federal, state, and local taxes on its
income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed
income. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations."
THE OFFERING
A minimum of 150,000 Shares ($1,500,000) and a maximum of 10,000,000 Shares
($100,000,000) in the Company will be offered at a price of $10.00 per Share. If
the Managing Dealer exercises its option (in the event the offering is
oversubscribed) to sell an additional 5,000,000 Shares, a maximum of 15,000,000
($150,000,000)
-8-
<PAGE>
Shares in the Company will be offered at a price of $10.00 per Share. The
Company also has registered an offering of an additional 1,500,000 Shares
($15,000,000) that are available only to stockholders who receive a copy of this
Prospectus and elect to participate in the Reinvestment Plan. Any participation
in such plan subsequent to this offering must be made pursuant to solicitation
under a separate prospectus. See "Summary of Reinvestment Plan."
The Shares are being offered by the Managing Dealer and other broker-dealers
that are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or
exempt from broker-dealer registration (the "Soliciting Dealers") on a "best
efforts" basis, which means that no one is guaranteeing that any minimum number
of Shares will be sold. Both the Company and the Advisor are Affiliates of the
Managing Dealer. See "The Offering -- Plan of Distribution."
Until subscription funds for the Company total $1,500,000, the funds will be
held in escrow by SouthTrust Asset Management Company of Florida, N.A., and
interest earned on such funds will accrue to the benefit of subscribers. No
Shares will be sold unless subscriptions for at least 150,000 Shares
($1,500,000) have been obtained within one year after this Prospectus. Pursuant
to the requirements of the Commissioners of Securities of Iowa and Minnesota,
the Attorney General of the State of New York, the Director of the Division of
Securities of Ohio, and the Commissioner of Securities of the State of
Pennsylvania, subscriptions from Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, and
Pennsylvania residents may not be released from escrow, or included in
determining whether the $1,500,000 minimum for the Company has been reached,
until subscriptions for Shares totalling at least $2,500,000 (for Iowa,
Minnesota, New York, and Ohio investors) and $8,250,000 (for Pennsylvania
investors) have been received from all sources. If such minimum amount is sold,
the Company may, in its sole discretion, and without prior notice to the
subscribers, elect to extend the offering for up to an additional one year
thereafter (in states that permit such an extension). See "The Offering."
A minimum investment of 250 Shares ($2,500) is required. IRAs, Keogh plans, and
pension plans must make a minimum investment of at least 100 Shares ($1,000),
except for Iowa tax-exempt stockholders who must make a minimum investment of
250 Shares ($2,500). For Minnesota stockholders only, IRAs and qualified plans
must make a minimum investment of 200 Shares ($2,000). In addition, Nebraska,
New York, and North Carolina stockholders must make a minimum investment of 500
Shares ($5,000). Following an initial subscription for at least the required
minimum investment, any stockholder may make additional purchases in increments
of one Share. Maine stockholders, however, may not purchase additional Shares in
amounts less than the applicable minimum investment except with respect to
Shares purchased pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan. See "The Offering--General,"
"The Offering -- Subscription Procedures," and "Summary of Reinvestment Plan."
DEFINITIONS
This Prospectus includes simplified terms and definitions to make the
Prospectus easier to understand. These simplified terms and definitions do not
include all of the details of the terms, however, and stockholders therefore
should review the "Definitions" section for a more complete understanding.
RISK FACTORS
The purchase of Shares involves significant risks and therefore is suitable
only for persons who understand the possible consequences of an investment in
the Company and who are able to bear the risk of loss of their investment.
Prospective stockholders should consider the following risks in addition to
other information describing an investment in the Shares set forth elsewhere in
this Prospectus.
INVESTMENT RISKS
Possible Lack of Diversification. There can be no assurance that the Company
will sell the maximum number of Shares. The potential profitability of the
Company and its ability to diversify its investments, both geographically and by
type of Properties purchased, will be limited by the amount of funds at its
disposal. For example, if minimum Gross Proceeds of $1,500,000 are raised, the
Company will be able to acquire no more than
-9-
<PAGE>
two Properties and, therefore, will not achieve diversification of its
investments, and the maximum amount of the Loan, which will fund Secured
Equipment Leases, will not exceed $150,000.
Risks of Reliance on Management. Stockholders will be relying entirely on the
management ability of the Advisor and on the oversight of the Board of
Directors. Stockholders have no right or power to take part in the management of
the Company, except through the exercise of their stockholder voting rights.
Thus, no prospective stockholder should purchase any of the Shares offered
hereby unless the prospective stockholder is willing to entrust all aspects of
the management of the Company to the Advisor and the Board of Directors. Only
one of the prior programs organized by Affiliates of the Company has offered
Mortgage Loans or Secured Equipment Leases. See "Management" for a discussion of
the experience of the directors of the Advisor and the Directors of the Company
in real estate investments and Equipment financing. Also see "Conflicts of
Interests" for a discussion of the potential for realization by the Advisor and
its Affiliates of substantial commissions, fees, compensation, and other income
and for a discussion of various other conflicts of interest.
Risks of Reliance on Advisor. The Advisor, with approval from the Board of
Directors, will be responsible for the daily management of the Company,
including all acquisitions, dispositions, and financings. The Advisor may be
terminated by the Board of Directors, with or without cause, but only subject to
payment and release from all guarantees and other obligations incurred in
connection with its role as Advisor. See "Management Compensation."
Risk Associated with Leverage. In addition to the Loan or to preserve its
status as a REIT, the Company may borrow money to acquire Properties, to make
Mortgage Loans or for other corporate purposes. The Company may encumber one or
more of its Properties in connection with any borrowing. Although the Board of
Directors anticipates that the aggregate amount of any borrowing by the Company
at the conclusion of the offering will not exceed 40% of the Gross Proceeds of
the offering (including the Permanent Financing in an amount up to 30% of Gross
Proceeds and the Loan in an amount up to 10% of Gross Proceeds), the maximum
amount the Company may borrow, absent a satisfactory showing that a higher level
of borrowing is appropriate as approved by the majority of the Independent
Directors, is 300% of the Company's Net Assets. The use of borrowing may present
an element of risk in the event that the cash flow from lease payments on its
Properties and payments on Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases are
insufficient to meet its debt obligations. In addition, lenders to the Company
may seek to impose restrictions on future borrowings, Distributions and
operating policies of the Company. If a Property is mortgaged to secure payment
of indebtedness and the Company is unable to meet its mortgage obligations, the
Property could be transferred to the mortgagee, with a consequent loss of income
and asset value to the Company.
Conflicts of Interest. As discussed in detail in "Conflicts of Interest," the
Company will be subject to conflicts of interest arising out of its relationship
to the Advisor and its Affiliates. Such conflicts include matters related to (i)
allocation of properties and management time and services between the Company
and various partnerships and other entities as to which the officers and
directors of the Advisor and the Directors and officers of the Company have
management responsibilities, (ii) the timing and terms of the sale of a Property
or other asset of the Company, (iii) negotiation and funding of Mortgage Loans,
(iv) negotiation and funding of Secured Equipment Leases, (v) investments with
Affiliates of the Advisor, (vi) compensation to the Advisor, (vii) the Company's
relationship with the Managing Dealer (which is an Affiliate of the Company and
the Advisor), and (viii) the fact that the Company's securities and tax counsel
also serves as securities and tax counsel for certain Affiliates of the Company
and that neither the Company nor the stockholders will have separate counsel.
See "Conflicts of Interest."
Lack of Liquidity of Shares. Stockholders may not be able to sell their Shares
promptly at a desired price; therefore, the Shares should be considered as a
long-term investment only. Currently there is no public market for the Shares.
The Board of Directors, with or without the consent of the stockholders, may
apply for Listing if the Board of Directors (including a majority of Independent
Directors) determines Listing to be in the best interests of the stockholders.
There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will apply for Listing,
that any such application will be made before the passage of a significant
period of time, that any application will be accepted or, even if accepted, that
a public trading market will develop. In any event, the Articles of
Incorporation provide that the Company will not apply for Listing before the
completion or termination of the offering. In the event Listing occurs, Shares
may be sold only through the national securities exchange or the
over-the-counter market on which the Shares are listed.
-10-
<PAGE>
Risks Associated With Management of Joint Ventures. The Independent Directors
of the Company must approve all Joint Venture or general partnership
arrangements to which the Company is a party. Subject to such approval, the
Company may enter into a Joint Venture with an unaffiliated party to purchase a
Property, and the Joint Venture or general partnership agreement relating to
that Joint Venture or partnership may provide that the Company will share
management control of the Joint Venture with the unaffiliated party. In the
event the Joint Venture or general partnership agreement provides that the
Company will have sole management control of the Joint Venture, such agreement
may be ineffective as to a third party who has no notice of the agreement, and
the Company therefore may be unable to control fully the activities of such
Joint Venture. In the event that the Company enters into a Joint Venture with
another program sponsored by an Affiliate, it is anticipated that the Company
will not have sole management control of the Joint Venture.
Lack of Control of Property Management. The Company uses "triple-net" leases
and, therefore, day-to-day management of the Properties will be the
responsibility of the tenants of the Properties. The Company has not yet entered
into any lease arrangements with specific tenants and does not intend to do so
until such time as one or more Properties suitable for purchase by the Company
have been identified. In general, the Company intends to enter into leasing
agreements only with tenants having substantial prior restaurant or other
business experience, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to make such arrangements because, as of the date of this Prospectus, the
Company had not entered into any arrangements that create a reasonable
probability that the Company will purchase any Properties.
Risks Associated With Mortgage Loans. Only one of the prior programs organized
by Affiliates of the Company has offered Mortgage Loans and the experience of
the Advisor and Directors of the Company with mortgage financing is limited. The
Mortgage Loans may also be subject to regulation by federal, state and local
authorities and subject to various laws and judicial and administrative
decisions. The Company may determine not to make Mortgage Loans in any
jurisdiction in which it believes the Company has not complied in all material
respects with applicable requirements. See also "-Real Estate and Financing
Risks."
In addition, the Company may securitize Mortgage Loans provided to finance the
purchase of buildings and the underlying land and retain the subordinated series
of participation interest in the securitized pool of Mortgage Loans. Although
such securitizations will be undertaken in order to increase the Company's
potential return, the subordinated character of the Company's retained
investment will make the Company's return, while potentially higher, more
uncertain than the return on such Mortgage Loans prior to their transfer to a
securitized pool. See "Business -- Mortgage Loans."
Risks Associated With Secured Equipment Leases. Only one of the prior programs
organized by Affiliates of the Company has offered Secured Equipment Leases and
the experience of the Advisor and Directors of the Company with Equipment
leasing is limited. In the event that a lessee defaults on a Secured Equipment
Lease, the Company may not be able to sell the subject Equipment at a price that
would enable the Company to recover its costs associated with such Equipment.
The Secured Equipment Lease program may also be subject to regulation by
federal, state and local authorities and subject to various laws and judicial
and administrative decisions. The Company may determine not to operate the
Secured Equipment Lease program in any jurisdiction in which it believes the
Company has not complied in all material respects with applicable requirements.
In addition, there are certain federal income tax risks associated with the
Secured Equipment Lease program. See " -- Tax Risks."
Binding Nature of Majority Stockholder Vote. Stockholders may take certain
actions, including approving most amendments to the Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws, by a vote of a majority of the Shares outstanding and entitled to
vote. Certain provisions designed to preserve the Company's status as a REIT
cannot be amended without a "supermajority" vote of two-thirds of the Shares
entitled to vote. All actions taken, if approved by the holders of the requisite
number of Shares, would be binding on all stockholders. Certain of these
provisions may discourage or make it more difficult for another party to acquire
control of the Company or to effect a change in the operation of the Company.
The Board of Directors has the power to cause the issuance of additional Shares
without obtaining stockholder approval.
If Listing occurs, the business of the Company may continue indefinitely
without any specific time limitation by which the Company must distribute Net
Sales Proceeds to the stockholders. In that case, the stockholders would be
dependent upon the sale of their Shares for the return of their investment in
the Company.
-11-
<PAGE>
There can be no assurance that the price a stockholder would receive in a sale
on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market will be representative of the
value of the assets owned by the Company or that it will equal or exceed the
amount a stockholder paid for the Shares.
Under certain circumstances, the Company may prevent the ownership, transfer,
and/or accumulation of Shares in order to protect the status of the Company as a
REIT or, as otherwise deemed by the Board of Directors, to be in the best
interests of the stockholders. See "Summary of the Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws -Restriction of Ownership."
Restrictions on Transfer Relating to REIT Status. The Articles of Incorporation
generally restrict direct or indirect ownership (applying certain attribution
rules) of more than 9.8% of the outstanding Common Stock or 9.8% of any series
of outstanding Preferred Stock by one Person (as defined in the Articles of
Incorporation). See "Summary of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws --
Restriction of Ownership."
Limited Liability of Officers and Directors. The Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws provide that an officer or Director's liability to the Company, its
stockholders, or third parties for monetary damages may be limited. Generally,
the Company is obligated under the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws to
indemnify its officers and Directors against certain liabilities incurred in
connection with their services in such capacities. The Company will execute
indemnification agreements with each officer and Director which will indemnify
the officer or Director for any such liabilities that he or she incurs. Such
indemnification agreements could limit the legal remedies available to the
Company and the stockholders against the Directors and Officers of the Company.
See "Summary of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws -- Limitation of
Director and Officer Liability."
Risks for Retirement Plan Stockholders. The Company believes that the assets of
the Company will not be deemed, under ERISA, to be "plan assets" of any Plan
that invests in the Shares, although it has not requested an opinion of Counsel
to that effect. If the assets of the Company were deemed to be "plan assets"
under ERISA (i) it is not clear that the exemptions from the "prohibited
transaction" rules under ERISA would be available for the Company's
transactions, and (ii) the prudence standards of ERISA would apply to
investments made by the Company (and might not be met). ERISA makes plan
fiduciaries personally responsible for any losses resulting to the plan from any
breach of fiduciary duty and the Code imposes nondeductible excise taxes on
prohibited transactions.
Risk of Insufficient Working Capital. There can be no assurance that the
Company will have sufficient working capital. As of July 2, 1996, the Company
had stockholder's equity of $200,000.
Use of Leverage to Make Distributions. The Company may incur indebtedness if
necessary to satisfy the requirement that the Company distribute at least 95% of
its real estate investment trust taxable income or otherwise, as is necessary or
advisable to assure that the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT for
federal income tax purposes. In such an event, it is possible that the Company
could make Distributions in excess of its earnings and profits and, accordingly,
that such Distributions could constitute a return of capital for federal income
tax purposes, although such Distributions would not reduce stockholders'
aggregate Invested Capital.
REAL ESTATE AND FINANCING RISKS
Risks Related to an Unspecified Property Offering. The Company has established
certain criteria for evaluating Restaurant Chains and other businesses,
particular Properties, and the operators of the Properties proposed for
investment by the Company. See "Business -- Standards for Investment" and
"Business -- General" for a description of these criteria and the types of
Properties in which the Company intends to invest. Because the Company, as of
the date of this Prospectus, has not entered into any arrangements that create a
reasonable probability that the Company will purchase any Properties, this is an
unspecified property offering, and prospective investors therefore have no
information to assist them in evaluating the merits of any Property to be
purchased or developed by the Company. There is no limit on the number of
Properties of a particular Restaurant Chain or other business which the Company
may acquire, although the Board of Directors currently does not anticipate that
the Company will invest more than 25% of its Gross Proceeds in Properties of any
one Restaurant Chain or other business.
-12-
<PAGE>
No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining
suitable investments on financially attractive terms or that, if investments are
made, the objectives of the Company will be achieved. There also can be no
assurance that all of the Properties will operate profitably or that defaults
will not occur. See "Management" and "Prior Performance Information," however,
for a description of the prior real estate experience of the Affiliates of the
Company and the Advisor.
The Advisor or its Affiliates from time to time may acquire properties on a
temporary basis with the intention of subsequently transferring the properties
to one or more of the CNL Group, Inc. ("CNL") programs, including the Company,
although the Company has adopted guidelines to minimize such conflicts. This
practice could represent a risk to the Company and result in increased potential
conflicts of interest among the Company, the Advisor, its Affiliates and prior
or future programs formed by Affiliates of the Advisor. See "Conflicts of
Interest -- Acquisition of Properties."
Risks Relating to Change of Emphasis in Property Type. The Company intends to
use the proceeds of this offering to invest primarily in restaurant properties,
although it also intends to acquire and lease other types of net lease
properties. The Company may engage in subsequent offerings. The proceeds from
subsequent offerings may be invested primarily in other types of net lease
properties.
Possible Delays in Investment. To the extent consistent with the Company's
objective of qualifying as a REIT, the offering proceeds may remain uninvested
for up to the later of two years from the initial date of this Prospectus or one
year after termination of the offering, although it is expected that
substantially all net offering proceeds will be invested prior to the end of
such period. See "Prior Performance Information" for a summary description of
the investment experience of Affiliates and the Advisor in prior CNL programs,
which is not necessarily indicative of the rate at which the proceeds of this
offering will be invested.
An extended offering period, the inability of the Advisor to find suitable
Properties, the inability of two prior programs formed by Affiliates of the
Advisor that currently are in the process of acquiring fast-food, familystyle
and casual-dining restaurant properties (and one of which is currently offering
mortgage loans) to substantially complete their acquisition programs prior to
the time that the Company has funds available to invest in Properties, or the
right of first refusal to acquire any freestanding retail properties (not
including restaurant properties) held by an Affiliate of the Advisor may result
in delays in investment of Company funds in Properties and in the receipt of a
return from real property investments.
Revenues received by the Company pending investment in Properties or making
Mortgage Loans will be limited to the rates of return available on short-term,
highly liquid investments with appropriate safety of principal. These rates of
return, which affect the amount of cash available to make Distributions to the
stockholders, are expected to be lower than the Company would receive under its
Property leases or Mortgage Loans. Further, to the extent consistent with the
Company's objective of qualifying as a REIT, any funds of the Company required
to be invested in Properties and Mortgage Loans and not so invested or reserved
for Company purposes within the later of two years from the initial date of this
Prospectus, or one year after the termination of the offering, will be
distributed pro rata to the then stockholders of the Company in accordance with
the Articles of Incorporation.
Risks of Acquiring Properties Under Construction. The Company intends to
acquire sites on which a particular Property to be owned by the Company is to be
built as well as existing Properties (including Properties which require
renovation). To the extent that the Company acquires a Property on which
improvements are to be constructed or completed or renovations are to be made,
the Company may be subject to certain risks in connection with the developer's
ability to control construction costs, and the timing of completion of
construction, or to build in conformity with plans, specifications, and
timetables. The Company's agreements with the developer will provide certain
safeguards designed to minimize these risks. Further, in the event of a default
by a developer, the Company generally will have the right to require the tenant
to repurchase the Property that is under development at a pre-established price
designed to reimburse the Company for all costs incurred by the Company in
connection with the acquisition and development of the Property. There can be no
assurance, however, that under such circumstances, the tenant will have
sufficient funds to fulfill its obligations. See "Business -- Site Selection and
Acquisition Properties."
-13-
<PAGE>
Risks of Joint Investment in Properties. In the event that the Company enters
into a Joint Venture with another program formed by Affiliates of the Advisor,
there will be a potential risk of impasse in certain joint venture decisions
since the approval of the Company and of each co-venturer is required for
certain decisions. In any Joint Venture with an affiliated program, however, the
Company will have the right to buy the other coventurer's interest or to sell
its own interest on specified terms and conditions in the event of an impasse
regarding a Sale. Under such circumstances, it is possible that neither party
will have the funds necessary to consummate the transaction. See "Business --
Joint Venture Arrangements." In addition, the Company may experience difficulty
in locating a third party purchaser for its Joint Venture interest and in
obtaining a favorable sale price for such Joint Venture interest.
Investments in Joint Ventures may involve the risk that the Company's
co-venturer may have economic or business interests or goals which, at a
particular time, are inconsistent with the interests or goals of the Company,
that such co-venturer may be in a position to take action contrary to the
Company's instructions, requests, policies or objectives, or that such
co-venturer may experience financial difficulties. Among other things, actions
by a co-venturer might subject property owned by the Joint Venture to
liabilities in excess of those contemplated by the terms of the joint venture
agreement or to other adverse consequences.
Risks Relating to the Ability of the Company to Liquidate. For the first five
to ten years after commencement of this offering, the Company intends to use any
proceeds from the Sale of Properties or Mortgage Loans that are not required to
be distributed to stockholders in order to preserve the Company's status as a
REIT for federal income tax purposes to acquire additional Properties, make
additional Mortgage Loans and repay outstanding indebtedness. The proceeds from
the Sale of Secured Equipment Leases will be used to fund additional Secured
Equipment Leases, or to reduce the Company's outstanding indebtedness on the
Loan. If Listing occurs, the proceeds from Sales may be reinvested in other
Properties, Mortgage Loans, or Secured Equipment Leases for an indefinite period
of time. Unless Listing occurs within ten years after commencement of the
offering, the Company will undertake, to the extent consistent with the
Company's objective of qualifying as a REIT, the orderly Sale of the Company's
assets, the distribution of the Net Sales Proceeds of such Sales to
stockholders, and will engage only in activities related to its orderly
liquidation unless the stockholders elect otherwise. Neither the Advisor nor the
Board of Directors may be able to control the timing of Sales due to market
conditions, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sell
its assets so as to return stockholders' aggregate Invested Capital, to generate
a profit for the stockholders, or to fully satisfy its debt obligations.
Invested Capital, in the aggregate, will be returned to stockholders upon
disposition of the Properties only if the Properties are sold for more than
their original purchase price, although return of capital, for federal income
tax purposes, is not necessarily limited to stockholder distributions following
Sales of Properties. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations." In the event that
a purchase money obligation is taken in partial payment of the sales price of a
Property, the proceeds of the Sale will be realized over a period of years.
Further, entering into Mortgage Loans with terms of 15 to 20 years and Secured
Equipment Leases with terms of seven years may cause any intended liquidation of
the Company to be delayed beyond the time of disposition of the Properties and
until such time as the Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases expire or are
sold.
Risks Relating to Tenant Purchase Rights. Certain tenants are expected to have
the right to purchase the Property from the Company, commencing a specified
number of years after the date of the lease, which may lessen the ability of the
Advisor and the Board of Directors to freely control the Sale of the Property.
The leases also generally provide the tenant with a right of first refusal on
any proposed sale provisions. See "Business--Description of Leases -- Right of
Tenant to Purchase." A tenant will have no obligation to purchase the Property
it leases.
Risks of Real Property Investments. The value of Properties such as those to
be acquired by the Company, the ability of the tenants to pay rent on a timely
basis, the amount of the rent and the ability of borrowers to make Mortgage Loan
payments on a timely basis may be adversely affected by certain changes in
general or local economic or market conditions, increased costs of energy,
increased costs of food or other products, increased costs and shortages of
labor, competitive factors, fuel shortages, quality of management, the ability
of a Restaurant Chain or other business to fulfill any obligations to operators
of its restaurant or other businesses, limited alternative uses for the
building, changing consumer habits, condemnation or uninsured losses, changing
demographics, changing traffic patterns, inability to remodel outmoded buildings
as required by the franchise or lease agreement, voluntary
-14-
<PAGE>
termination by a tenant of its obligations under a lease, and other factors.
Neither the Company nor the Board of Directors can control these factors.
Tenants may lease more than one Property and borrowers may enter into more than
one Mortgage Loan. Events such as the default or financial failure of a tenant
or borrower therefore could cause one or more Properties to become vacant under
certain circumstances. Vacancies would reduce the cash receipts of the Company
and, at least until the Company is able to re-lease any such Properties, could
decrease their ultimate resale value. The value of the Company's Properties will
depend principally upon the value of the leases of the Properties. Minor
defaults by a tenant or borrower may continue for some time before the Advisor
or Board of Directors determines that it is in the interest of the Company to
evict the tenant or foreclose on the property of the borrower.
If a Property becomes vacant, the Company may be unable either to re-lease the
Property for the rent due under the prior lease or to re-lease the Property
without incurring additional expenditures relating to the Property. The Company
could experience delays in enforcing its rights against, and collecting rents
(and, under certain circumstances, real estate taxes and insurance costs) due
from, a defaulting tenant.
The Company will not be a party to any franchise agreement between a Restaurant
Chain or other business and a tenant, and such agreement could therefore be
modified or canceled without notice to, or the prior consent of, the Company. In
that event, the tenant could be required to cease its operations at a Property,
although the tenant's obligation to pay rent to the Company would continue.
Before operations at the Property could resume, however, the Company would be
required to locate a new tenant acceptable to a Restaurant Chain or other
business.
The inability of tenants to make lease payments or of borrowers to make
Mortgage Loan payments as a result of any of these factors could result in a
decrease in the amount of cash available to make Distributions to the
stockholders.
If the Company, as lessor, incurs any liability which is not fully covered by
insurance, the Company would be liable for such amounts, and returns to the
stockholders could be reduced. See "Business -- Description of Property Leases--
Insurance, Taxes, Maintenance, and Repairs" for a description of the types of
insurance that the leases of the Properties will require the tenant to obtain.
Risks of Adverse Trends. The success of the future operations of the Company's
Properties will depend largely on each of their operator's ability to adapt to
dominant trends in the restaurant and other industries, including greater
competitive pressures, increased consolidation, industry overbuilding,
dependence on consumer spending patterns and changing demographics, the
introduction of new concepts and products, availability of labor, price levels,
and general economic conditions. See "Business -- General" for a description of
the size and nature of the restaurant industry and current trends in this
industry. The success of a particular Restaurant Chain or other business
concept, the ability of a Restaurant Chain or other business to fulfill any
obligations to operators of its restaurants or other businesses, and trends in
the restaurant and other industries may affect the income of the Company.
Risks Resulting From Competition. The Company will compete with other entities,
including Affiliates, for the acquisition of properties. See "Conflicts of
Interest -- Prior and Future Programs." In addition, the restaurant and other
businesses in which the Company will invest are highly competitive, and it is
anticipated that any Property acquired by the Company will compete with other
businesses in the vicinity. The extent to which the Company will be entitled to
receive rent, in the form of percentage rent, in excess of the base rent
(including automatic increases in the base rent) for the Properties will depend
in part on the ability of the tenants to compete successfully with other
businesses in the vicinity. In addition, the Company will compete with other
financing sources for suitable tenants and properties.
Possible Environmental Liabilities. Under various federal and state
environmental laws and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of
real estate may be required to investigate and clean up certain hazardous or
toxic substances, asbestos-containing materials, or petroleum product releases
at the property, and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third
parties for property damage and for investigation and cleanup costs incurred by
such parties in connection with the contamination. In addition, some
environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the
government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with the
-15-
<PAGE>
contamination. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate
contaminations may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or lease real
estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. The owner or operator
of a site may be liable under common law to third parties for damages and
injuries resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the site.
All of the Properties will be acquired by the Company subject to satisfactory
Phase I environmental assessments or satisfactory Phase II environmental
assessments. A Phase I or Phase II environmental assessment may be determined by
the Board of Directors or the Advisor to be satisfactory if a problem exists and
has not been resolved at the time the Property is acquired provided that the
seller has agreed in writing to indemnify the Company. There can be no
assurance, however, that any seller will be able to pay under an indemnity
obtained by the Company. Further, no assurances can be given that all
environmental liabilities have been identified or that no prior owner, operator
or current occupant has created an environmental condition not known to the
Company. Moreover, no assurances can be given that (i) future laws, ordinances
or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability or (ii) the
current environmental condition of the Properties will not be affected by
tenants and occupants of the Properties, by the condition of land or operations
in the vicinity of the Properties (such as the presence of underground storage
tanks), or by third parties unrelated to the Company.
In addition, the Company may invest in Properties that include gasoline
installations. These gasoline installations will have underground storage tanks
containing petroleum products, which are subject to extensive federal and state
regulation. The underground tanks are expected to be new, double-walled storage
tanks with automatic leak detection systems. Although the Company intends to use
underground tanks that it believes are "state of the art" and to engage in
testing of the type described above and take other protective measures, such as
obtaining indemnification from the seller and the operator of the Property,
there can be no assurance that such gasoline installations do not have the
potential for environmental liability either in their current condition or as a
consequence of future conditions (including changes in applicable laws or
regulations).
Risks Associated With the Line of Credit and the Permanent Financing. The
Company intends to obtain the Line of Credit and the Permanent Financing and use
the proceeds therefrom to purchase Properties and make Mortgage Loans. The
Company is engaged in preliminary discussions with potential lenders but has not
yet obtained a commitment for the Line of Credit or any Permanent Financing, and
there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain either the Line of
Credit or any Permanent Financing on satisfactory terms.
Risks Associated With the Loan. The Company intends to obtain the Loan and use
the Loan proceeds to fund Secured Equipment Leases. The Company is engaged in
preliminary discussions with potential lenders but has not yet obtained a
commitment for the Loan, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able
to obtain the Loan on satisfactory terms.
Risks Relating to Unspecified Secured Equipment Leases. The Company, as of the
date of this Prospectus, has not entered into any arrangements that create a
reasonable probability that the Company will extend a Secured Equipment Lease to
a particular operator, and therefore prospective stockholders have no
information to assist them in evaluating the merits of the Secured Equipment
Lease program or of any Secured Equipment Lease. No assurance can be given that
the Company will be successful in identifying suitable operators or negotiating
Secured Equipment Leases on financially attractive terms or that lessees will
fulfill their obligations under Secured Equipment Leases.
TAX RISKS
Effect of Failure to Qualify as a REIT. The Company intends to operate so as to
qualify and remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes,
commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 1996. A qualified REIT
generally is not taxed at the corporate level on income it currently distributes
to its stockholders, so long as it distributes at least 95% of its real estate
investment trust taxable income. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations --
Taxation of the Company." The Company expects to qualify as a REIT initially,
but no assurance can be given that it will so qualify or that it will continue
to qualify in the future. In this regard, based on certain representations and
assumptions, the Company will receive an opinion of tax counsel to the Company
-16-
<PAGE>
("Counsel") to the effect that the Company will be organized in conformity with
the requirements for qualification as a REIT, and that the Company's proposed
method of operation will enable it to meet the requirements for qualification as
a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Qualification as a REIT, however,
involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions as to
which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations.
Certain facts and circumstances which may be wholly or partially beyond the
Company's control may affect its ability to qualify on an ongoing basis as a
REIT. In addition, no assurance can be given that future legislation, new
regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not
significantly change the tax laws (or the application thereof) with respect to
qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes or the federal income
tax consequences of such qualification. The opinion of Counsel is not binding on
the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or the courts.
Risks Relating to the Secured Equipment Leases. In order to qualify as a REIT
for federal income tax purposes, not more than 25% of the Company's total assets
may be represented by personal property, or loans secured by personal property
on certain testing dates. In addition, loans secured by personal property made
to each borrower must represent less than 5% of the Company's total assets on
such testing dates. Counsel is of the opinion, based on certain assumptions,
that the Secured Equipment Leases will be treated as loans secured by personal
property for federal income tax purposes. The Company believes that the value of
the Secured Equipment Leases together with any personal property owned by the
Company, will in the aggregate represent less than 25% of the Company's total
assets and that the value of the Secured Equipment Leases entered into with any
particular lessee will represent less than 5% of the Company's total assets.
Counsel has relied on the representations of the Company regarding such values
in rendering its opinion as to the qualification of the Company as a REIT. If
the Company fails to satisfy the 25% test or the 5% test either at the time of
the offering or on any subsequent testing date, the Company will fail to qualify
(or cease to qualify, as the case may be) as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes. In addition, if, contrary to the opinion of Counsel, the Secured
Equipment Leases are not treated as loans, but are instead treated as leases for
federal income tax purposes, income from the Secured Equipment Leases will
generally not satisfy either the 95% or the 75% gross income tests for REIT
qualification. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Taxation of the
Company,"and "-- Characterization of the Secured Equipment Leases."
Effect of REIT Disqualification. If, in any taxable year, the Company were to
fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, it would not be
allowed a deduction for dividends to stockholders in computing taxable income
and would be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative
minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. In addition,
unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, the Company would
be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the
four taxable years following the year during which REIT qualification is lost.
The additional tax liability resulting from the failure to so qualify would
significantly reduce the amount of funds available to make Distributions to
stockholders. Distributions to stockholders generally would be taxable as
ordinary income to the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits
and, subject to certain limitations, would be eligible for the corporate
dividends received deduction. Although the Company intends to operate in a
manner designed to permit it to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax, or other
events or circumstances could cause it to fail to so qualify. See "Federal
Income Tax Considerations -- Taxation of the Company."
Effect of Distribution Requirements. The Company may be required, under certain
circumstances, to accrue as income for tax purposes interest, rent and other
items treated as earned for tax purposes but not yet received. In addition, the
Company may be required not to accrue as expenses for tax purposes certain items
which actually have been paid or certain of the Company's deductions might be
disallowed by the Service. In any such event, the Company could fail to qualify
as a REIT or have taxable income in excess of cash available for distribution.
If the Company has taxable income in excess of cash available for distribution,
the Company could be required to borrow funds or liquidate investments on
unfavorable terms in order to meet the distribution requirement applicable to a
REIT. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Taxation of the Company --
Distribution Requirements."
Restrictions on Maximum Share Ownership. In order for the Company to qualify as
a REIT, no more than 50% of the value of the outstanding equity securities may
be owned, directly or indirectly (applying certain attribution rules), by five
or fewer individuals (or certain entities) at any time during the last half of
the Company's taxable year. To ensure that the Company will not fail to qualify
as a REIT under this test, the Company's Articles
-17-
<PAGE>
of Incorporation include certain provisions restricting the accumulation of
Shares. These restrictions may (i) discourage a change of control of the
Company; (ii) deter individuals and entities from making tender offers for
Shares, which offers may be attractive to stockholders; or (iii) limit the
opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their Shares in the event
a stockholder is making purchases of Shares in order to acquire a block of
Shares.
Other Tax Liabilities. Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes, it may be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes
on its income and property. See "Federal Income Tax Considera- tions -- State
and Local Taxes."
Changes in Tax Laws. The discussions of the federal income tax aspects of the
offering are based on current law, including the Code, the Regulations issued
thereunder, certain administrative interpretations thereof, and court decisions.
Consequently, future events that modify or otherwise affect those provisions may
result in treatment for federal income tax purposes of the Company and the
stockholders that is materially and adversely different from that described in
this Prospectus, both for taxable years arising before and after such events.
There is no assurance that future legislation and administrative interpretations
will not be retroactive in effect.
SUITABILITY STANDARDS AND HOW TO SUBSCRIBE
SUITABILITY STANDARDS
The Shares offered hereby are suitable only as a long-term investment for
persons of adequate financial means who have no need for liquidity in this
investment. Initially, there is not expected to be any public market for the
Shares, which means that it may be difficult to sell Shares. See "Summary of the
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws -- Restrictions on Ownership" for a
description of the transfer requirements. As a result, the Company has
established suitability standards which require investors to have either (i) a
net worth (exclusive of home, furnishings, and personal automobiles) of at least
$45,000 and an annual gross income of at least $45,000, or (ii) a net worth
(exclusive of home, furnishings, and personal automobiles) of at least $150,000.
Iowa, Maine, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and
Tennessee have established suitability standards different from those
established by the Company, and Shares will be sold only to investors in those
states who meet the special suitability standards set forth below.
IOWA, MISSOURI, NORTH CAROLINA AND TENNESSEE -- The investor has either (i) a
net worth (exclusive of home, furnishings, and personal automobiles) of at least
$60,000 and an annual gross income of at least $60,000, or (ii) a net worth
(exclusive of home, furnishings, and personal automobiles) of at least $225,000.
MAINE -- The investor has either (i) a net worth (exclusive of home,
furnishings, and personal automobiles) of at least $50,000 and an annual gross
income of at least $50,000, or (ii) a net worth (exclusive of home, furnishings,
and personal automobiles) of at least $200,000.
NEW HAMPSHIRE -- The investor has either (i) a net worth (exclusive of home,
furnishings, and personal automobiles) of at least $125,000 and an annual gross
income of at least $50,000, or (ii) a net worth (exclusive of home, furnishings,
and personal automobiles) of at least $250,000.
PENNSYLVANIA -- The investor has (i) a net worth (exclusive of home,
furnishings, and personal
automobiles) of at least ten times the investor's investment in the Company, and
(ii) either (a) a net worth (exclusive of home, furnishings, and personal
automobiles) of at least $45,000 and an annual gross income of at least $45,000,
or (b) a net worth (exclusive of home, furnishings, and personal automobiles) of
at least $150,000. Because the minimum offering of Shares of the Company is less
than $16,500,000, Pennsylvania investors are cautioned to evaluate carefully the
Company's ability to fully accomplish its stated objectives and to inquire as to
the current dollar volume of the Company's subscription proceeds.

The foregoing suitability standards must be met by the investor who purchases
the Shares. If the investment is being made for a fiduciary account (such as an
IRA, Keogh Plan, or corporate pension or profit-sharing plan), the beneficiary,
the fiduciary account, or any donor or grantor that is the fiduciary of the
account who directly or indirectly supplies the investment funds must meet such
suitability standards.
In addition, under the laws of certain states, investors may transfer their
Shares only to persons who meet similar standards, and the Company may require
certain assurances that such standards are met. Investors should read carefully
the requirements in connection with resales of Shares as set forth in the
Articles of Incorporation and as summarized under "Summary of the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws -- Restrictions of Ownership."
In purchasing Shares, custodians or trustees of employee pension benefit plans
or IRAs may be subject to the fiduciary duties imposed by the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") or other applicable laws and to
the prohibited transaction rules prescribed by ERISA and related provisions of
the Code. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Retirement Plan
Stockholders." In addition, prior to purchasing Shares, the trustee or custodian
of an employee pension benefit plan or an IRA should determine that such an
investment would be permissible under the governing instruments of such plan or
account and applicable law. For information regarding "unrelated business
taxable income," see "Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Taxation of
Stockholders -- Tax-Exempt Stockholders."
In order to ensure adherence to the suitability standards described above,
requisite suitability standards must be met, as set forth in the Subscription
Agreement in one of the forms attached hereto as Exhibit D. In addition,
Soliciting Dealers who sell Shares have the responsibility to make every
reasonable effort to determine that the purchase of Shares is a suitable and
appropriate investment for an investor. In making this determination, the
Soliciting Dealers will rely on relevant information provided by the investor,
including information as to the investor's age, investment objectives,
investment experience, income, net worth, financial situation, other
investments, and any other pertinent information. See "The Offering --
Subscription Procedures." Executed Subscription Agreements will be maintained in
the Company's records for six years.
HOW TO SUBSCRIBE
An investor who meets the suitability standards described above may subscribe
for Shares by completing and executing the Subscription Agreement and delivering
it to a Soliciting Dealer, together with a check for the full purchase price of
the Shares subscribed for, payable to "SouthTrust Asset Management Company of
Florida, N.A., Escrow Agent." See "The Offering -- Subscription Procedures."
Certain Soliciting Dealers who have "net capital," as defined in the applicable
federal securities regulations, of $250,000 or more may instruct their customers
to make their checks for Shares subscribed for payable directly to the
Soliciting Dealer. Care should be taken to ensure that the Subscription
Agreement is filled out correctly and completely. Partnerships, individual
fiduciaries signing on behalf of trusts, estates, and in other capacities, and
persons signing on behalf of corporations and corporate trustees may be required
to obtain additional documents from Soliciting Dealers. Any subscription may be
rejected by the Company in whole or in part, regardless of whether the
subscriber meets the minimum suitability standards.
Certain Soliciting Dealers may permit investors who meet the suitability
standards described above to subscribe for Shares by telephonic order to the
Soliciting Dealer. This procedure may not be available in certain states. See
"The Offering -- Subscription Procedures" and "The Offering -- Plan of
Distribution."
A minimum investment of 250 Shares ($2,500) is required. IRAs, Keogh plans, and
pension plans must make a minimum investment of at least 100 Shares ($1,000),
except for Iowa tax-exempt investors who must make a minimum investment of 250
Shares ($2,500). For Minnesota investors only, IRAs and qualified plans must
make a minimum investment of 200 Shares ($2,000). In addition, Nebraska, New
York, and North Carolina investors must make a minimum investment of 500 Shares
($5,000). Following an initial subscription for at least the required minimum
investment, any investor may make additional purchases in increments of one
Share. Maine investors, however, may not make additional purchases in amounts
less than the applicable minimum investment except with respect to Shares
purchased pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan. See "The Offering -- General," "The
Offering -- Subscription Procedures," and "Summary of Reinvestment Plan."

ESTIMATED USE OF PROCEEDS
The table set forth below summarizes certain information relating to the
anticipated use of offering proceeds by the Company, assuming that 150,000
Shares and 15,000,000 Shares (which assumes that the Managing Dealer exercises
its option, if the offering is oversubscribed, to sell an additional 5,000,000
Shares) are sold. The Company estimates that 84% of Gross Proceeds will be
available for the purchase of Properties and the making of Mortgage Loans, and
approximately 9% of Gross Proceeds will be paid in fees and expenses to
Affiliates of the Company for their services and as reimbursement for
Organizational and Offering Expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. While
the estimated use of proceeds set forth in the table below is believed to be
reasonable, this table should be viewed only as an estimate of the use of
proceeds that may be achieved.

FOOTNOTES:
(1) Excludes the purchase of 20,000 Shares by the Advisor in exchange for its
$200,000 investment in the Company. The Advisor may, but is not required
to, purchase additional Shares of the Company. Also excludes 1,500,000
Shares that may be sold pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan.
(2) Offering proceeds will exceed $100,000,000 only if the Managing Dealer
exercises its option to sell an additional 5,000,000 Shares if the offering
is oversubscribed.
(3) Gross Proceeds of the offering are calculated as if all Shares are sold at
$10.00 per Share and do not take into account any reduction in Selling
Commissions. See "The Offering -- Plan of Distribution" for a description
of the circumstances under which Selling Commissions may be reduced,
including commission discounts available for purchases by registered
representatives or principals of the Managing Dealer or Soliciting Dealers,
certain Directors and officers and certain investment advisers. Selling
Commissions are calculated assuming that reduced commissions are not paid
in connection with the purchase of any Shares. The Shares are being offered
to the public through CNL Securities Corp., which will receive Selling
Commissions of 7.5% on all sales of Shares and will act as Managing Dealer.
The Managing Dealer is an Affiliate of the Advisor. Other broker-dealers
may be engaged as Soliciting Dealers to sell Shares and reallowed Selling
Commissions of up to 7% with respect to Shares which they sell. In
addition, all or a portion of the marketing support and due diligence
expense reimbursement fee may be reallowed to certain Soliciting Dealers
for expenses incurred by them in selling the Shares, including
reimbursement for bona fide expenses incurred in connection with due
diligence activities. See "The Offering -- Plan of Distribution" for a more
complete description of this fee.
(4) Organizational and Offering Expenses include legal, accounting, printing,
escrow, filing, registration, qualification, and other expenses of the
organization of the Company and the offering of the Shares, but exclude
Selling Commissions and the marketing support and due diligence expense
reimbursement fee.
(5) Acquisition Fees include all fees and commissions paid by the Company to
any person or entity in connection with the selection or acquisition of any
Property or the making of any Mortgage Loan, including to Affiliates or
nonaffiliates. Acquisition Fees do not include Acquisition Expenses.
(6) Represents Acquisition Expenses that are neither reimbursed to the Company
nor included in the purchase price of the Properties, and on which rent is
not received, but does not include certain expenses associated with
Property acquisitions that are part of the purchase price of the
Properties, that are included in the basis of the Properties, and on which
rent is received. Acquisition Expenses include any and all expenses
incurred by the Company, the Advisor, or any Affiliate of the Advisor in
connection with the selection or acquisition of any Property or the making
of any Mortgage Loan, whether or not acquired or made, including, without
limitation, legal fees and expenses, travel and communication expenses,
costs of appraisals, nonrefundable option payments on property not
acquired, accounting fees and expenses, taxes, and title insurance, but
exclude Acquisition Fees. The expenses that are attributable to the seller
of the Properties and part of the purchase price of the Properties is
anticipated to range between 1% and 2% of Gross Proceeds.
(7) Because leases will be on a "triple-net" basis, it is not anticipated that
a permanent reserve for maintenance and repairs will be established.
However, to the extent that the Company has insufficient funds for such
purposes, the Advisor may contribute to the Company an aggregate amount of
up to 1% of the net offering proceeds available to the Company for
maintenance and repairs. The Advisor also may, but is not required to,
establish reserves from offering proceeds, operating funds, and the
available proceeds of any Sales.
(8) Offering proceeds designated for investment in Properties or the making of
Mortgage Loans temporarily may be invested in short-term, highly liquid
investments with appropriate safety of principal.

MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION
The table below summarizes the types, recipients, methods of
computation, and estimated amounts of all compensation, fees, and distributions
to be paid directly or indirectly by the Company to the Advisor and its
Affiliates, exclusive of any distributions to which the Advisor or its
Affiliates may be entitled by reason of their purchase and ownership of Shares.
See "The Advisor and the Advisory Agreement." For information concerning
compensation to the Directors, see "Management."
A maximum of 10,000,000 Shares ($100,000,000) may be sold; however, if
the Managing Dealer exercises its option (in the event the offering is
oversubscribed) to sell an additional 5,000,000 shares, a maximum of 15,000,000
Shares ($150,000,000) may be sold. An additional 1,500,000 Shares ($15,000,000)
may be sold to stockholders who receive a copy of this Prospectus and who
purchase Shares through the Reinvestment Plan.
The following arrangements for compensation and fees to the Advisor and
its Affiliates were not determined by arm's-length negotiations. See "Conflicts
of Interest." There is no item of compensation and no fee that can be paid to
the Advisor or its Affiliates under more than one category.

Executive Officer of the Company, shares ownership and voting
control of CNL Group, Inc. with Dayle L. Seneff, his wife.
PRIOR AND FUTURE PROGRAMS
In the past, Affiliates of the Advisor have organized over 100 other
real estate investments, currently have other real estate holdings, and in the
future expect to form, offer interests in, and manage other real estate programs
in addition to the Company, and make additional real estate investments. Some of
these (including 17 prior public partnerships, one prior unlisted public REIT
and one prior listed public REIT) involve and will involve Affiliates of the
Advisor in the ownership, operation, leasing, and management of properties that
may be suitable for the Company.
Certain of these affiliated public or private real estate programs
invest or may invest in fast-food, familystyle and casual-dining restaurants and
other types of net lease properties, may purchase properties concurrently with
the Company and may lease properties to operators who also lease or operate
certain of the Company's Properties. These properties, if located in the
vicinity of, or adjacent to, Properties acquired by the Company may affect the
Properties' gross revenues. Additionally, such other programs may offer mortgage
or equipment financing to the same or similar entities as those targeted by the
Company, thereby affecting the Company's Mortgage Loan activities or Secured
Equipment Lease program. Such conflicts between the Company and affiliated
programs may affect the value of the Company's investments as well as its Net
Income. The Company believes that the Advisor has established guidelines to
minimize such conflicts. See "Certain Conflict Resolution Procedures" below.
ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES
Affiliates of the Advisor regularly have opportunities to acquire
restaurant properties and other properties of a type suitable for acquisition by
the Company as a result of their existing relationships and past experience with
various Restaurant Chains and other businesses and their franchisees. See
"Business -- General." A purchaser
-27-
<PAGE>
who wishes to acquire one or more of these properties must do so within a
relatively short period of time, occasionally at a time when the Company (due to
insufficient funds, for example) may be unable to make the acquisition.
In an effort to address these situations and preserve the acquisition
opportunities for the Company (and other entities with which the Advisor or its
Affiliates are affiliated), Affiliates of the Advisor maintain lines of credit
which enable them to acquire properties on an interim basis. Typically, no more
than ten to 15 properties are temporarily owned by Affiliates of the Advisor on
this interim basis at any particular time. These properties generally will be
purchased from Affiliates of the Advisor, at their cost, by one or more existing
or future public or private programs formed by Affiliates of the Advisor.
The Advisor could experience potential conflicts of interest in
connection with the negotiation of the purchase price and other terms of the
acquisition of a Property, as well as the terms of the lease of a Property, due
to its relationship with its Affiliates and the ongoing business relationship of
its Affiliates with operators of Restaurant Chains and other businesses.
The Advisor or its Affiliates also may be subject to potential conflicts
of interest at such time as the Company wishes to acquire a property that also
would be suitable for acquisition by an Affiliate of CNL. Affiliates of the
Advisor serve as Directors of the Company and, in this capacity, have a
fiduciary obligation to act in the best interest of the stockholders of the
Company and, as general partners or directors of CNL Affiliates, to act in the
best interests of the investors in other programs with investments that may be
similar to those of the Company and will use their best efforts to assure that
the Company will be treated as favorably as any such other program. See
"Management -- Fiduciary Responsibility of the Board of Directors." The Company
has also developed procedures to resolve potential conflicts of interest in the
allocation of properties between the Company and certain of its Affiliates. See
"Certain Conflict Resolution Procedures" below.
In addition, CNL Group, Inc. ("CNL"), the parent company of the Advisor,
has granted to Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc., an Affiliate of the Advisor, a
right of first refusal to consider and acquire any freestanding retail
properties (not including restaurant properties) that become available for
acquisition by them or any other Affiliate of CNL, including the Company.
The Company will supplement this Prospectus during the offering period
to disclose the acquisition of a Property at such time as the Advisor believes
that a reasonable probability exists that the Company will acquire the Property,
including an acquisition from the Advisor or its Affiliates. Based upon the
experience of management of the Company and the Advisor and the proposed
acquisition methods, a reasonable probability that the Company will acquire a
Property normally will occur as of the date on which (i) a commitment letter is
executed by a proposed lessee, (ii) a satisfactory credit underwriting for the
proposed lessee has been completed and (iii) a satisfactory site inspection has
been completed.
SALES OF PROPERTIES
A conflict also could arise in connection with the Advisor's
determination as to whether or not to sell a Property, since the interests of
the Advisor and the stockholders may differ as a result of their distinct
financial and tax positions and the compensation to which the Advisor or its
Affiliates may be entitled upon the Sale of a Property. See "Compensation of the
Advisor," below for a description of these compensation arrangements. In order
to resolve this potential conflict, the Board of Directors will be required to
approve each Sale of a Property. In the unlikely event that the Company and
another CNL program attempted to sell similar properties at the same time, a
conflict could arise since the two programs potentially could compete with each
other for a suitable purchaser. In order to resolve this potential conflict, the
Advisor has agreed not to approve the sale of any of the Company's Properties
contemporaneously with the sale of a property owned by another CNL program if
the two properties are part of the same Restaurant Chain or other business and
are within a three-mile radius of each other, unless the Advisor and the
principals of the other CNL program are able to locate a suitable purchaser for
each property.

JOINT INVESTMENT WITH AN AFFILIATED PROGRAM
The Company may invest in Joint Ventures with another program sponsored
by the Advisor or its Affiliates if a majority of the Directors, including a
majority of the Independent Directors, not otherwise interested in the
transaction, determine that the investment in the Joint Venture is fair and
reasonable to the Company and on substantially the same terms and conditions as
those to be received by the co-venturer or co-venturers.
COMPETITION FOR MANAGEMENT TIME
The officers and directors of the Advisor and the officers and Directors
of the Company currently are engaged, and in the future will engage, in the
management of other business entities and properties and in other business
activities. They will devote only as much of their time to the business of the
Company as they, in their judgment, determine is reasonably required, which will
be substantially less than their full time. These officers and directors of the
Advisor and officers and Directors of the Company may experience conflicts of
interest in allocating management time, services, and functions among the
Company and the various entities, investor programs (public or private), and any
other business ventures in which any of them are or may become involved.
COMPENSATION OF THE ADVISOR
The Advisor will be engaged to perform various services for the Company
and will receive fees and compensation for such services. None of the agreements
for such services were the result of arm's-length negotiations. All such
agreements, including the Advisory Agreement, require approval by a majority of
the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, not
otherwise interested in such transactions, as being fair and reasonable to the
Company and on terms and conditions no less favorable than those which could be
obtained from unaffiliated entities. The timing and nature of fees and
compensation to the Advisor could create a conflict between the interests of the
Advisor and those of the stockholders. A transaction involving the purchase,
lease, or Sale of any Property, or the entering into or Sale of a Mortgage Loan
or a Secured Equipment Lease by the Company may result in the immediate
realization by the Advisor and its Affiliates of substantial commissions, fees,
compensation, and other income. Although the Advisory Agreement authorizes the
Advisor to take primary responsibility for all decisions relating to any such
transaction, the Board of Directors must approve all of the Company's
acquisitions and Sales of Properties and the entering into and Sales of Mortgage
Loans or Secured Equipment Leases. Potential conflicts may arise in connection
with the determination by the Advisor on behalf of the Company of whether to
hold or sell a Property, Mortgage Loan, or Secured Equipment Lease as such
determination could impact the timing and amount of fees payable to the Advisor.
See "The Advisor and the Advisory Agreement."
RELATIONSHIP WITH MANAGING DEALER
The Managing Dealer is CNL Securities Corp., an Affiliate of the
Company. Certain of the officers and Directors of the Company are also officers,
directors, and registered principals of the Managing Dealer. This relationship
may create conflicts in connection with the fulfillment by the Managing Dealer
of its due diligence obligations under the federal securities laws. Although the
Managing Dealer will examine the information in the Prospectus for accuracy and
completeness, the Managing Dealer is an Affiliate of the Company and will not
make an independent review of the Company and the offering. Accordingly, the
investors do not have the benefit of such independent review. Certain of the
Soliciting Dealers have made, or are expected to make, their own independent due
diligence investigations. The Managing Dealer is not prohibited from acting in
any capacity in connection with the offer and sale of securities offered by
entities that may have some or all investment objectives similar to those of the
Company and is expected to participate in other offerings sponsored by one or
more of the officers or Directors of the Company.
LEGAL REPRESENTATION
Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge, which serves as securities and tax
counsel to the Company in this offering, also serves as securities and tax
counsel for certain of its Affiliates, including other real estate programs, in
connection with other matters. In addition, certain members of the firm of Shaw,
Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge
-29-
<PAGE>
have invested as limited partners in prior programs sponsored by Affiliates of
the Advisor in aggregate amounts which do not exceed one percent of the amounts
sold by any of these programs, and members of the firm also may invest in the
Company. Neither the Company nor the stockholders will have separate counsel. In
the event any controversy arises following the termination of this offering in
which the interests of the Company appear to be in conflict with those of the
Advisor or its Affiliates, other counsel may be retained for one or both
parties.
CERTAIN CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROCEDURES
In order to reduce or eliminate certain potential conflicts of interest,
the Articles of Incorporation contain a number of restrictions relating to (i)
transactions between the Company and the Advisor or its Affiliates, (ii) certain
future offerings, and (iii) allocation of properties, mortgage loans and secured
equipment leases among certain affiliated entities. These restrictions include,
among others, the following:
1. No goods or services will be provided by the Advisor or its
Affiliates to the Company except for transactions in which the Advisor or its
Affiliates provide goods or services to the Company in accordance with the
Articles of Incorporation which provides that a majority of the Directors
(including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in
such transactions must approve such transactions as fair and reasonable to the
Company and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company than those
available from unaffiliated third parties and not less favorable than those
available from the Advisor or its Affiliates in transactions with unaffiliated
third parties.
2. The Company will not purchase or lease Properties in which the
Advisor or its Affiliates has an interest without the determination, by a
majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors)
not otherwise interested in such transaction, that such transaction is
competitive and commercially reasonable to the Company and at a price to the
Company no greater than the cost of the asset to the Advisor or its Affiliate
unless there is substantial justification for any amount that exceeds such cost
and such excess amount is determined to be reasonable. In no event shall the
Company acquire any such asset at an amount in excess of its appraised value.
The Company will not sell or lease Properties to the Advisor or its Affiliates
unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent
Directors) not interested in the transaction determine the transaction is fair
and reasonable to the Company.
3. The Company will not make any loans to Affiliates. Any loans to the
Company by the Advisor or its Affiliates must be approved by a majority of the
Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise
interested in such transaction as fair, competitive, and commercially
reasonable, and no less favorable to the Company than comparable loans between
unaffiliated parties. It is anticipated that the Advisor or its Affiliates shall
be entitled to reimbursement, at cost, for actual expenses incurred by the
Advisor or its Affiliates on behalf of the Company or Joint Ventures in which
the Company is a co-venturer, subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines (2% of Average
Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income) described under "The Advisor and the
Advisory Agreement -- The Advisory Agreement."
4. Until completion of this offering, the Advisor and its Affiliates
will not offer or sell interests in any subsequently formed public program that
has investment objectives and structure similar to those of the Company and that
intends to (i) invest, on a cash and/or leveraged basis, in a diversified
portfolio of restaurant and other types of properties to be leased on a
"triple-net" basis to operators of Restaurant Chains and other businesses, (ii)
offer mortgage loans and (iii) offer secured equipment leases. The Advisor and
its Affiliates also will not purchase a property or offer a mortgage loan or
secured equipment lease for any such subsequently formed public program that has
investment objectives and structure similar to the Company and that intends to
invest on a cash and/or leveraged basis primarily in a diversified portfolio of
restaurant and other properties to be leased on a "triple-net" basis to
operators of Restaurant Chains and other businesses until substantially all
(generally, 80%) of the funds available for investment (Net Offering Proceeds)
by the Company have been invested or committed to investment. (For purposes of
the preceding sentence only, funds are deemed to have been committed to
investment to the extent written agreements in principle or letters of
understanding are executed and in effect at any time, whether or not any such
investment is consummated, and also to the extent any funds have been reserved
to make contingent payments in connection with any Property, whether or not any
such payments are made.) Affiliates of the Advisor are currently purchasing
restaurant and other types of properties, including furniture, fixtures and
equipment, and incurring related costs for public and private programs, which
have investment objectives that are not identical,
-30-
<PAGE>
and/or a structure not similar to, those of the Company, but which make
investments that include "triple-net" leases of fast-food, family-style and
casual-dining restaurant properties and other types of properties. The Advisor
or its Affiliates currently are and in the future may offer interests in one or
more public or private programs organized to purchase properties of the type to
be acquired by the Company, to offer Mortgage Loans and/or to offer Secured
Equipment Leases.
5. The Board of Directors and the Advisor have agreed that, in the event
that an investment opportunity becomes available which is suitable for both the
Company and a public or private entity with which the Advisor or its Affiliates
are affiliated, for which both entities have sufficient uninvested funds, then
the entity which has had the longest period of time elapse since it was offered
an investment opportunity will first be offered the investment opportunity. An
investment opportunity will not be considered suitable for a program if the
requirements of Item 4 above could not be satisfied if the program were to make
the investment. In determining whether or not an investment opportunity is
suitable for more than one program, the Advisor and its Affiliates will examine
such factors, among others, as the cash requirements of each program, the effect
of the acquisition both on diversification of each program's investments by
types of restaurants and other businesses and geographic area, and on
diversification of the tenants of its properties (which also may affect the need
for one of the programs to prepare or produce audited financial statements for a
property or a tenant), the anticipated cash flow of each program, the size of
the investment, the amount of funds available to each program, and the length of
time such funds have been available for investment. If a subsequent development,
such as a delay in the closing of a property or a delay in the construction of a
property, causes any such investment, in the opinion of the Advisor, to be more
appropriate for an entity other than the entity which committed to make the
investment, however, the Advisor has the right to agree that the other entity
affiliated with the Advisor or its Affiliates may make the investment. The
Advisor and certain other Affiliates of the Company are affiliated with CNL
American Properties Fund, Inc. and CNL Income Fund XVII, Ltd., public programs,
and CNL Income & Growth Fund VII, Ltd., a private program, offerings of
securities for each of which are ongoing. As of June 21, 1996, CNL American
Properties Fund, Inc., CNL Income Fund XVII, Ltd. and CNL Income & Growth Fund
VII, Ltd. had approximately $2,900,000, $3,300,000 and $7,000,000, respectively,
available for investment.
SUMMARY OF REINVESTMENT PLAN
The Company has adopted the Reinvestment Plan pursuant to which
stockholders may elect to have the full amount of their cash Distributions from
the Company reinvested in additional Shares of the Company. Each prospective
investor who wishes to participate in the Reinvestment Plan should consult with
such investor's Soliciting Dealer as to the Soliciting Dealer's position
regarding participation in the Reinvestment Plan. The following discussion
summarizes the principal terms of the Reinvestment Plan. The Reinvestment Plan
is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
GENERAL
An independent agent (the "Reinvestment Agent"), which currently is MMS
Escrow and Transfer Agency, Inc., will act on behalf of the participants in the
Reinvestment Plan (the "Participants"). Prior to the time that the offering
terminates, the Reinvestment Agent will invest all Distributions attributable to
Shares owned by Participants in Shares of the Company at the public offering
price per Share, which is $10.00 per Share. Thereafter, and until Listing, the
price per Share will be determined by (i) quarterly appraisal updates performed
by the Company based on a review of the existing appraisal and lease of each
Property, focusing on a re-examination of the capitalization rate applied to the
rental stream to be derived from that Property; and (ii) a review of the
outstanding Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases focusing on a
determination of present value by a re-examination of the capitalization rate
applied to the stream of payments due under the terms of each Mortgage Loan and
Secured Equipment Lease. The capitalization rate used by the Company and, as a
result, the price per Share paid by the Participants in the Reinvestment Plan
prior to Listing will be determined by the Advisor in its sole discretion. The
factors that the Advisor will use to determine the capitalization rate include
(i) its experience in selecting, acquiring and managing properties similar to
the Properties; (ii) an examination of the conditions in the market; and (iii)
capitalization rates in use by private appraisers, to the extent that the
Advisor deems such factors appropriate, as well as any other factors that the
Advisor deems relevant or appropriate in making its determination. The Company's
internal accountants will then convert the most recent quarterly balance sheet
of the Company from a
-31-
<PAGE>
"GAAP" balance sheet to a "fair market value" balance sheet. Based on the "fair
market value" balance sheet, the internal accountants will then assume a sale of
the Company's assets and the liquidation of the Company in accordance with its
constitutive documents and applicable law and compute the appropriate method of
distributing the cash available after payment of reasonable liquidation
expenses, including closing costs typically associated with the sale of assets
and shared by the buyer and seller, and the creation of reasonable reserves to
provide for the payment of any contingent liabilities. All Shares available for
purchase under the Reinvestment Plan either are registered pursuant to this
Prospectus or will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 through a
separate prospectus relating solely to the Reinvestment Plan. Until this
offering has terminated, Shares will be available for purchase out of the
additional 1,500,000 Shares registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") in connection with this offering. See "The
Offering -- Plan of Distribution." After the offering has terminated, Shares
will be available from any additional Shares (not expected to exceed 1,500,000
Shares at any one time) which the Company elects to register with the Commission
for the Reinvestment Plan.
Stockholders who have received a copy of this Prospectus and participate
in this offering can elect to participate in and purchase Shares through the
Reinvestment Plan at any time and would not need to receive a separate
prospectus relating solely to the Reinvestment Plan. A person who becomes a
stockholder otherwise than by participating in this offering may purchase Shares
through the Reinvestment Plan only after receipt of a separate prospectus
relating solely to the Reinvestment Plan.
After the termination of the offering, the price per Share purchased
pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan shall be the fair market value of the Shares
based on quarterly appraisal updates of the Company's assets until such time, if
any, as Listing occurs. Upon Listing, the Shares to be acquired for the
Reinvestment Plan may be acquired either through such market or directly from
the Company pursuant to a registration statement relating to the Reinvestment
Plan, in either case at a per-Share price equal to the then-prevailing market
price on the national securities exchange or over-the-counter market on which
the Shares are listed at the date of purchase. The Company is unable to predict
the effect which such a proposed listing would have on the price of the Shares
acquired through the Reinvestment Plan.
INVESTMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS
Distributions will be used by the Reinvestment Agent, promptly following
the payment date with respect to such Distributions, to purchase Shares on
behalf of the Participants from the Company. All such Distributions shall be
invested in Shares within 30 days after such payment date. Any Distributions not
so invested will be returned to Participants.
At this time, Participants will not have the option to make voluntary
contributions to the Reinvestment Plan to purchase Shares in excess of the
amount of Shares that can be purchased with their Distributions. The Board of
Directors reserves the right, however, to amend the Reinvestment Plan in the
future to permit voluntary contributions to the Reinvestment Plan by
Participants, to the extent consistent with the Company's objective of
qualifying as a REIT.
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS, FEES, AND ALLOCATION OF SHARES
For each Participant, the Reinvestment Agent will maintain a record
which shall reflect for each fiscal quarter the Distributions received by the
Reinvestment Agent on behalf of such Participant. The Company shall be
responsible for all administrative charges and expenses charged by the
Reinvestment Agent. Any interest earned on such Distributions will be paid to
the Company to defray certain costs relating to the Reinvestment Plan. The
administrative charge for each fiscal quarter will be the lesser of 5% of the
amount reinvested for the Participant or $2.50, with a minimum charge of $0.50.
The maximum annual charge is $10.00.
The Reinvestment Agent will use the aggregate amount of Distributions to
all Participants for each fiscal quarter to purchase Shares for the
Participants. If the aggregate amount of Distributions to Participants exceeds
the amount required to purchase all Shares then available for purchase, the
Reinvestment Agent will purchase all available Shares and will return all
remaining Distributions to the Participants within 30 days after the date such
Distributions are made. The purchased Shares will be allocated among the
Participants based on the portion of the aggregate Distributions received by the
Reinvestment Agent on behalf of each Participant, as reflected in the records
-32-
<PAGE>
maintained by the Reinvestment Agent. The ownership of the Shares purchased
pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan shall be reflected on the books of the
Company.
Subject to the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation relating to
certain restrictions on and the effective dates of transfer, Shares acquired
pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan will entitle the Participant to the same
rights and to be treated in the same manner as those purchased by the
Participants in the offering. Accordingly, the Company will pay the Managing
Dealer Selling Commissions of 7.5% (subject to reduction under the circumstances
provided under "The Offering -- Plan of Distribution") a marketing support and
due diligence fee of .5%. The Company will also pay the Advisor Acquisition Fees
of 4.5% of the purchase price of the Shares sold pursuant to the Reinvestment
Plan until the termination of the offering. Thereafter, Acquisition Fees will be
paid by the Company only in the event that proceeds of the sale of Shares are
used to acquire Properties or to invest in Mortgage Loans. As a result,
aggregate fees payable to Affiliates of the Company will total between 8.0% and
12.5% of the proceeds of reinvested Distributions, up to 7.5% of which may be
reallowed to Soliciting Dealers.
The allocation of Shares among Participants may result in the ownership
of fractional Shares, computed to four decimal places.
REPORTS TO PARTICIPANTS
Within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, the Reinvestment
Agent will mail to each Participant a statement of account describing, as to
such Participant, the Distributions reinvested during the quarter, the number of
Shares purchased during the quarter, the per Share purchase price for such
Shares, the total administrative charge paid by the Company on behalf of each
Participant (see "Participant Accounts, Fees, and Allocation of Shares" above),
and the total number of Shares purchased on behalf of the Participant pursuant
to the Reinvestment Plan. Until such time, if any, as Listing occurs, the
statement of account also will report the most recent fair market value of the
Shares, determined as described above. See "General" above.
Tax information for income earned on Shares under the Reinvestment Plan
for the calendar year will be sent to each participant by the Company or the
Reinvestment Agent.
ELECTION TO PARTICIPATE OR TERMINATE PARTICIPATION
Stockholders of the Company who purchase Shares in this offering may
become Participants in the Reinvestment Plan by making a written election to
participate on their Subscription Agreements at the time they subscribe for
Shares. Any other stockholder who receives a copy of this Prospectus or a
separate prospectus relating solely to the Reinvestment Plan and who has not
previously elected to participate in the Reinvestment Plan may so elect at any
time by written notice to the Board of Directors of such stockholder's desire to
participate in the Reinvestment Plan. Participation in the Reinvestment Plan
will commence with the next Distribution made after receipt of the Participant's
notice, provided it is received at least ten days prior to the record date for
such Distribution. Subject to the preceding sentence, the election to
participate in the Reinvestment Plan will apply to all Distributions
attributable to the fiscal quarter in which the stockholder made such written
election to participate in the Reinvestment Plan and to all fiscal quarters
thereafter, whether made (i) upon subscription or subsequently for stockholders
who participate in this offering, or (ii) upon receipt of a separate prospectus
relating solely to the Reinvestment Plan for stockholders who do not participate
in this offering. Participants will be able to terminate their participation in
the Reinvestment Plan at any time without penalty by delivering written notice
to the Board of Directors ten business days before the end of a fiscal quarter.
A Participant who chooses to terminate participation in the Reinvestment
Plan must terminate his or her entire participation in the Reinvestment Plan and
will not be allowed to terminate in part. If a Participant terminates his or her
participation the Reinvestment Agent will send him or her a check in payment for
any fractional Shares in his or her account based on the then market price of
the Shares and the record books of the Company will be revised to reflect the
ownership records of his or her whole Shares. There are no fees associated with
a Participant's terminating his or her interest in the Reinvestment Plan. A
Participant in the Reinvestment Plan who terminates his or her interest in the
Reinvestment Plan will be allowed to participate in the Reinvestment Plan again
by notifying the Reinvestment Agent and completing any required forms.
-33-
<PAGE>
The Board of Directors reserves the right to prohibit Qualified Plans
from participating in the Reinvestment Plan if such participation would cause
the underlying assets of the Company to constitute "plan assets" of Qualified
Plans. See "The Offering -- ERISA Considerations."
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Stockholders subject to federal taxation who elect to participate in the
Reinvestment Plan may incur a tax liability for Distributions allocated to them
even though they have elected not to receive their Distributions in cash but
rather to have their Distributions held pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan.
Specifically, stockholders will be treated as if they have received the
Distribution from the Company and then applied such Distribution to purchase
Shares in the Reinvestment Plan. A stockholder designating a Distribution for
reinvestment will be taxed on the amount of such Distribution as ordinary income
to the extent such Distribution is from current or accumulated earnings and
profits, unless the Company has designated all or a portion of the Distribution
as a capital gain dividend. In such case, such designated portion of the
Distribution will be taxed as long-term capital gain.
AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION
The Company reserves the right to renew, extend, or amend any aspect of
the Reinvestment Plan without the consent of stockholders, provided that notice
of the amendment is sent to Participants at least 30 days prior to the effective
date thereof. The Company also reserves the right to terminate the Reinvestment
Plan for any reason at any time by ten days' prior written notice of termination
to all Participants.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
After the termination of the offering and prior to such time, if any, as
Listing occurs, any stockholder who purchases Shares in this offering or
otherwise from the Company or who has held Shares for not less than one year
(other than the Advisor) may present all or any portion equal to at least 25% of
such Shares to the Company for redemption at any time, in accordance with the
procedures outlined herein. At such time, the Company may, at its option,
subject to the conditions described below, redeem such Shares presented for
redemption for cash to the extent it has sufficient net proceeds ("Reinvestment
Proceeds") from the sale of Shares under the Reinvestment Plan. There is no
assurance that there will be Reinvestment Proceeds available for redemption and,
accordingly, a stockholder's Shares may not be redeemed. The full amount of
Reinvestment Proceeds attributable to any quarter will be used to redeem Shares
presented for redemption during such quarter. If the full amount of Reinvestment
Proceeds available for any given quarter exceeds the amount necessary for such
redemptions, the remaining amount shall be held for subsequent redemptions
unless such amount is sufficient to acquire an additional Property (directly or
through a Joint Venture) or to make an additional Mortgage Loan, or is used to
repay outstanding indebtedness other than the Loan. In that event, the Company
may use all or a portion of such amount to acquire one or more additional
Properties, to make one or more additional Mortgage Loans or to repay such
outstanding indebtedness, provided that the Company (or, if applicable, the
Joint Venture) enters into a binding contract to purchase such Property or
Properties or enter into such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans, or uses such
amount to repay outstanding indebtedness, prior to payment of the next
Distribution and the Company's receipt of requests for redemption of Shares. If
the full amount of Reinvestment Proceeds for any given quarter is insufficient
to fund all of the requested redemptions, the Company will redeem the Shares
presented for redemption in order of receipt.
A stockholder (other than a resident of Nebraska) who wishes to have his
or her Shares redeemed must mail or deliver a written request on a form provided
by the Company and executed by the stockholder, its trustee or authorized agent,
to the Company. Nebraska stockholders must deliver the same type of request to a
broker-dealer registered in Nebraska and must have his or her Shares redeemed
through such broker-dealer, who will communicate directly with the Company.
Within 30 days following the Company's receipt of the stockholder's request, the
Company will forward to such stockholder the documents necessary to effect the
redemption, including any signature guarantee the Company may require. The
Company will effect such redemption for the calendar quarter provided that the
Company receives the properly completed redemption documents relating to the
Shares to be redeemed from the stockholder at least one calendar month prior to
the last day of the current calendar quarter and has sufficient Reinvestment
Proceeds to redeem such Shares. The effective date of any redemption will be the
-34-
<PAGE>
last date during a quarter during which the Company receives the properly
completed redemption documents. As a result, the Company anticipates that,
assuming sufficient Reinvestment Proceeds, the effective date of redemptions
will be no later than thirty days after the quarterly determination of the
availability of Reinvestment Proceeds.
Upon the Company's receipt of notice for redemption of Shares, the
redemption price will be on such terms as the Reinvestment Agent shall
determine. It is not anticipated that there will be a market for the Shares
before Listing occurs (although liquidity is not assured thereby). The
redemption plan will terminate, and the Company no longer shall accept Shares
for redemption, if and when Listing occurs. See "Risk Factors -- Investment
Risks -- Lack of Liquidity of Shares." Accordingly, in determining the "market
price" of the Shares for this purpose, it is expected that the purchase price
for Shares purchased from stockholders will be determined by reference to the
following factors, as well as any others deemed relevant or appropriate by the
Reinvestment Agent: (i) the price at which Shares have been purchased by
stockholders, either pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan or outside of the
Reinvestment Plan (to the extent the Company has information regarding the
prices paid for Shares purchased outside the Reinvestment Plan), (ii) the annual
statement of Share valuation provided to certain stockholders (see "Reports to
Stockholders"), and (iii) the price at which stockholders are willing to sell
their Shares. Shares purchased during any particular period of time therefore
may be purchased at varying prices. The Board of Directors will announce any
price adjustment and the time period of its effectiveness as part of its regular
communications with stockholders. Any Shares acquired pursuant to a redemption
will be retired and no longer available for issuance by the Company.
A stockholder may present fewer than all his or her Shares to the
Company for redemption, provided, however, that (i) the minimum number of Shares
which must be presented for redemption shall be at least 25% of his or her
Shares, and (ii) if such stockholder retains any Shares, he or she must retain
at least 250 Shares (100 Shares for an IRA, Keogh Plan or pension plan).
The Directors, in their sole discretion, may amend or suspend the
redemption plan at any time they determine that such amendment or suspension is
in the best interest of the Company. The Directors may suspend the redemption of
Shares if (i) they determine, in their sole discretion, that such redemption
impairs the capital or the operations of the Company; (ii) they determine, in
their sole discretion, that an emergency makes such redemption not reasonably
practical; (iii) any governmental or regulatory agency with jurisdiction over
the Company so demands for the protection of the stockholders; (iv) they
determine, in their sole discretion, that such redemption would be unlawful; or
(v) they determine, in their sole discretion, that such redemption, when
considered with all other redemptions, sales, assignments, transfers and
exchanges of Shares in the Company, could cause direct or indirect ownership of
Shares of the Company to become concentrated to an extent which would prevent
the Company from qualifying as a REIT under the Code. For a discussion of the
tax treatment of such redemptions, see "Federal Income Tax Considerations --
Taxation of Stockholders."
BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Company has been formed primarily to acquire Properties to be leased
on a long-term (generally, 15 to 20 years, plus renewal options for an
additional 10 to 20 years), "triple-net" basis, which means that the tenant will
be responsible for repairs, maintenance, property taxes, utilities, and
insurance. With the proceeds of this offering, the Company intends to purchase
primarily fast-food, family-style, and casual-dining restaurants, although it
also intends to purchase other types of net lease properties. Management
believes that the flexibility to acquire such other types of net lease
properties will benefit the Company and its investors by enabling the Company to
take advantage of attractive investment opportunities outside of the restaurant
industry and by providing the Company with increased diversification of its
investments. The Properties may consist of land and building, the land
underlying the building with the building owned by the tenant or a third party,
and the building only with the land owned by a third party. The Company may
provide Mortgage Loans for the purchase of buildings, generally by tenants that
lease the underlying land from the Company, and for the purchase of buildings
and the underlying land. To a lesser extent, the Company also intends to offer
Secured Equipment Leases to operators of Restaurant Chains and other businesses
pursuant to which the Company will finance, through direct financing leases, the
Equipment.
-35-
<PAGE>
The Properties, which typically will be freestanding and will be located
across the United States, will be leased to creditworthy operators of Restaurant
Chains and other businesses to be selected by the Advisor and approved by the
Board of Directors. Each Property acquisition and Mortgage Loan will be
submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. Properties purchased by the
Company are expected to be leased under arrangements generally requiring base
annual rent equal to a specified percentage of the Company's cost of purchasing
a particular Property, with automatic rent increases, as well as percentage rent
based on gross sales. See "Description of Leases -- Computation of Lease
Payments," below.
It is expected that the Company will invest in Properties of selected
Restaurant Chains that are national and regional restaurant chains, primarily
fast-food, family-style, and casual-dining chains. Fast-food restaurants feature
quality food and quick service, which often includes drive-through service, and
offer a variety of menu items such as hamburgers, steaks, seafood, chili, pizza,
pasta dishes, chicken, hot and cold sandwiches, and salads. Familystyle
restaurants feature services that generally are associated with full-service
restaurants, such as full table service and cooked-to-order food, but at more
moderate prices. The casual-dining (or dinner house) concept features a variety
of popular contemporary foods, full table service, moderate prices, and
surroundings that are appealing to families. The casual-dining segment of the
restaurant industry, like the family-style segment, features services that
generally are associated with the full-service restaurant category. According to
forecasts appearing in the January 1, 1996 issue of Restaurants and
Institutions, it is projected that the casual-dining segment of full-service
restaurant sales will experience 4.1% real growth in sales this year, with sales
predicted to reach $46 billion. The top 15 casual-dining chains have a total of
4,539 restaurants throughout the United States.
The restaurant industry is one of the largest industries in the United
States in volume of sales and number of employees (more than 9 million persons)
and includes fast-food outlets, cafeterias, lunchrooms, convenience stores,
family-style restaurants, casual-dining facilities, full-service restaurants,
and contract and industrial feeders. By the year 2000, food service sales are
expected to exceed $392 billion. Industry publications project that restaurant
industry sales will increase from $173.7 billion in 1985 to $313 billion in
1996. Restaurant industry sales for 1995 are projected to be $298 billion. In
1995, nominal growth, which is comprised of real growth and inflationary growth,
was 5.2% and is estimated to be 5.0% in 1996. Real growth of the restaurant
industry in 1995 was 2.3%, and industry analysts currently estimate that the
restaurant industry will achieve 2.4% real growth in 1996; however, according to
the National Restaurant Association, fast-food restaurants should outpace the
industry average for real growth, with a projected 4.2% increase over 1995.
Sales in this segment of the restaurant industry are projected to be $100.2
billion for 1996.
The Company will invest in the fast-food, family-style, and
casual-dining segments of the restaurant industry, the most rapidly growing
segments in recent years. According to the National Restaurant Association, 51%
of adults eat at a quick-service restaurant and 42% of adults patronize a
moderately-priced family restaurant at least once each week. In addition, the
National Restaurant Association indicates that Americans spend approximately 44
cents of every food dollar on dining away from home. Surveys published in
Restaurant Business indicate that families with children choose quick-service
restaurants four out of every five times they dine out. Additionally, according
to The Wall Street Journal (May 11, 1992), the average American spends $19,791
on fast-food in a lifetime. Further, according to Nation's Restaurant News, the
100 largest restaurant chains are posting an average of 7.2% growth in their
systemwide sales figures for 1995. Casual-theme dining concepts are among the
chains showing the strongest growth. In 1995, the sandwich segment experienced
sales growth of 6.98% over 1994 figures, and, the casual-dining segment
experienced systemwide sales growth in 1995 of 12.99%, compared to 14.6% in
1994. Management believes that the Company will have the opportunity to
participate in this growth through the ownership of Properties leased to
operators of the Restaurant Chains.
The fast-food, family-style and casual-dining segments of the restaurant
industry have demonstrated their ability to adapt to changes in consumer
preferences, such as health and dietary issues, decreases in the disposable
income of consumers and environmental awareness, through various innovative
techniques, including special value pricing and promotions, increased
advertising, menu changes featuring low-calorie, low-cholesterol menu items, and
new packaging and energy conservation techniques.
The table set forth below provides information with respect to certain
Restaurant Chains in which Affiliates of the Company (consisting of a listed
public REIT, an unlisted public REIT, 17 public partnerships and 7 private
partnerships) have invested, as of December 31, 1995:

Management intends to structure the Company's investments to allow it to
participate, to the maximum extent possible, in any sales growth in these
industry segments, as reflected in the Properties that it owns. The Company
therefore intends to generally structure its leases with percentage rent
requirements which are based on gross sales of the particular business located
on the Property. Gross sales may increase even absent real growth because
increases in the costs typically are passed on to the consumers through
increased prices, and increased prices are reflected in gross sales. In an
effort to provide regular cash flow to the Company, the Company intends to
generally structure its leases to provide a minimum level of rent, with
automatic increases in the minimum rent, which is payable regardless of the
amount of gross sales at a particular Property. The Company also will endeavor
to maximize growth and minimize risks associated with ownership and leasing of
real estate that operates in these industry segments through careful selection
and screening of its tenants (as described in "Standards for Investment" below)
in order to reduce risks of default; monitoring statistics relating to
restaurant chains and other businesses and continuing to develop relationships
in the industry in order to reduce certain risks associated with investment in
real estate. See "Standards for Investment" below for a description of the
standards which the Board of Directors will employ in selecting Restaurant
Chains and particular Properties for investment.
Management expects to acquire Properties in part with a view to
diversification among Restaurant Chains and other businesses and in the
geographic location of the Properties. There are no restrictions on the
geographic area or areas within the United States in which Properties acquired
by the Company may be located. It is anticipated that the Properties acquired by
the Company will be located in various states and regions within the United
States.
The Company believes that freestanding, "triple-net" leased properties
of the type in which the Company will generally invest are attractive to tenants
because freestanding properties typically offer high visibility to passing
traffic, ease of access from a busy thoroughfare, tenant control over the site
to set hours of operation and maintenance standards and distinctive building
designs conductive to customer name recognition.
The Company intends to provide Mortgage Loans to operators of the
Restaurant Chains and other businesses, or their affiliates, to enable them to
acquire the building and improvements on real property. Generally, in these
cases, the Company will acquire the underlying land and will enter into a
long-term ground lease for the Property with the borrower as the tenant. The
Mortgage Loan will be secured by the building and improvements on the land.
-37-
<PAGE>
The Company intends to obtain a Line of Credit in an amount up to
$45,000,000, the proceeds of which will be used to acquire Properties and make
Mortgage Loans. The Line of Credit will provide short-term financing which the
Company anticipates will be repaid using additional offering proceeds or
refinanced on a long-term basis. The Company is engaged in preliminary
discussions with potential lenders but has not yet obtained a commitment letter
for the Line of Credit and may not be able to do so on satisfactory terms.
The Company intends to obtain Permanent Financing, the proceeds of which
will be used to acquire Properties, make Mortgage Loans, refinance outstanding
indebtedness on the Line of Credit and pay a fee of 4.5% of any Permanent
Financing, as Acquisition Fees, to the Advisor. The Company anticipates that the
total amount of the Permanent Financing will not exceed 30% of Gross Proceeds of
the offering. The Company is engaged in preliminary discussions with potential
lenders but has not yet obtained a commitment letter for any Permanent Financing
and may not be able to do so on satisfactory terms.
The Company also intends to obtain a Loan in an amount up to 10% of
Gross Proceeds of the offering, the proceeds of which will be used to fund
Secured Equipment Leases to operators of Restaurant Chains and other businesses
and to pay the Secured Equipment Lease Servicing Fee equal to 2% of the purchase
price of the Equipment subject to each Secured Equipment Lease. The Company is
engaged in preliminary discussions with potential lenders but has not yet
obtained a commitment letter for the Loan and may not be able to do so on
satisfactory terms. The Secured Equipment Leases will consist primarily of
leases of Equipment. The Company has neither identified any prospective
operators of Restaurant Chains or other businesses that will participate in such
financing arrangements nor negotiated any specific terms of a Secured Equipment
Lease. The Company cannot predict terms and conditions of the Secured Equipment
Leases, although the Company expects that the Secured Equipment Leases will (i)
have lease terms that equal or exceed the useful life of the subject Equipment
(although such lease terms will not exceed 7 years), (ii) include an option for
the lessee to acquire the subject Equipment at the end of the lease term for a
nominal fee, (iii) include a stated interest rate, and (iv) provide that the
Company and the lessees will each treat the Secured Equipment Leases as loans
secured by personal property for federal income tax purposes. See "Federal
Income Tax Considerations -- Characterization of Secured Equipment Leases." In
addition, the Company expects that each of the Secured Equipment Leases will be
secured by the Equipment to which it relates. Payments received from lessees
under Secured Equipment Leases will be treated as payments of principal and
interest. All Secured Equipment Leases will be negotiated by the Advisor and
approved by the Board of Directors including a majority of the Independent
Directors.
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company had not entered into any
arrangements that create a reasonable probability that the Company will purchase
any Property or enter into any Mortgage Loan or Secured Equipment Lease.
Moreover, no Properties have been definitively selected for acquisition nor have
any Mortgage Loan borrowers or Secured Equipment Lease lessees been specifically
identified.
The Company has undertaken to supplement this Prospectus during the
offering period to disclose the acquisition of Properties at such time as the
Company believes that a reasonable probability exists that any such Property
will be acquired by the Company. Based upon the experience and acquisition
methods of the Affiliates of the Company and the Advisor this normally will
occur, with regard to acquisition of Properties, as of the date on which (i) a
commitment letter is executed by a proposed lessee, (ii) a satisfactory credit
underwriting for the proposed lessee has been completed, and (iii) a
satisfactory site inspection has been completed. The initial disclosure of any
proposed acquisition, however, cannot be relied upon as an assurance that the
Company ultimately will consummate such proposed acquisition or that the
information provided concerning the proposed acquisition will not change between
the date of such supplement and the actual purchase or extension of financing.
The terms of any borrowing by the Company will also be disclosed by supplement
following receipt by the Company of an acceptable commitment letter from a
potential lender.
If the minimum number of Shares is sold ($1,500,000 in Gross Proceeds),
the Company will acquire no more than two restaurant Properties and will not
have diversification of its investments. Acquisition of a restaurant Property
generally involves an investment in land and building of approximately $400,000
to $1,250,000, although higher or lower figures for individual Properties are
possible. Based on the past experience of management and the Advisor in
acquiring similar properties and in light of current market conditions, the
Company estimates that it will have sufficient funds to acquire 140 to 160
restaurant Properties, based on an estimated average purchase price of $800,000
to $900,000 per Property, if the maximum of 15,000,000 Shares is sold. However,
the Company
-38-
<PAGE>
may use up to 50% of Gross Proceeds to acquire other types of Properties. If 50%
of Gross Proceeds is used to acquire other types of Properties, the Company will
acquire, assuming 15,000,000 Shares are sold, an undetermined number of such
Properties and approximately 70 to 80 restaurant Properties. In certain cases,
the Company may become a co-venturer in a Joint Venture that will own the
Property. In each such case, the Company's cost to purchase an interest in such
Property will be less than the total purchase price and the Company therefore
will be able to acquire interests in a greater number of Properties. The Company
may also borrow an amount up to 30% of Gross Proceeds to purchase Properties.
Management estimates that approximately 30% to 50% of the Company's investment
in a restaurant Property generally will be for the cost of land, and 50% to 70%
generally will be for the cost of the building. See "Joint Venture Arrangements"
below and "Risk Factors -- Investment Risks -- Possible Lack of
Diversification."
Although management cannot estimate the number of Mortgage Loans that
may be entered into, management currently expects to invest approximately 5% to
10% of Gross Proceeds of the offering, assuming the maximum of 15,000,000 Shares
is sold, in Mortgage Loans. The Company may also borrow money to make Mortgage
Loans.
Although management cannot estimate the number of Secured Equipment
Leases that may be entered into, it expects to fund the Secured Equipment Lease
program from the proceeds of the Loan in an amount equal to 10% of Gross
Proceeds and management has undertaken, consistent with its objective of
qualifying as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, to ensure that the total
value of all Secured Equipment Leases will not exceed 25% of the Company's total
assets, and that Secured Equipment Leases to a single lessee, in the aggregate,
will not exceed 5% of total assets.
SITE SELECTION AND ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES
General. It is anticipated that the Restaurant Chains and other
businesses selected by the Advisor, and as approved by the Board of Directors,
will have full-time staffs engaged in site selection and evaluation. All new
sites must be approved by the Restaurant Chains or other businesses. The
Restaurant Chains and other businesses generally conduct or require the
submission of studies which typically include such factors as traffic patterns,
population trends, commercial and industrial development, office and
institutional development, residential development, per capita or household
median income, per capita or household median age, and other factors. The
Restaurant Chains and other businesses also will review and approve all proposed
tenants and business sites. The Restaurant Chains and other businesses or the
operators are expected to make their site evaluations and analyses, as well as
financial information regarding proposed tenants, available to the Company.
The Board of Directors, on behalf of the Company, will elect to purchase
and lease Properties based principally on an examination and evaluation by the
Advisor of the potential value of the site, the financial condition and business
history of the proposed tenant, the demographics of the area in which the
property is located or to be located, the proposed purchase price and proposed
lease terms, geographic and market diversification, and potential sales expected
to be generated by the business located on the property. In addition, the
potential tenant must meet at least the minimum standards established by a
Restaurant Chain or other business for its operators. The Advisor also will
perform an independent break-even analysis of the potential profitability of a
property using historical data and other data developed by the Company and
provided by the Restaurant Chains or other businesses.
Although the Restaurant Chains and other businesses that are selected by
the Advisor will have approved each tenant and each Property, the Board of
Directors will exercise its own judgment as to, and will be solely responsible
for, the ultimate selection of both tenants and Properties. Therefore, some of
the properties approved by a Restaurant Chain or other business may not be
purchased by the Company.
In each Property acquisition, it is anticipated that the Advisor will
negotiate the lease agreement with the tenant. In certain instances, the Advisor
may negotiate an assignment of an existing lease, in which case the terms of the
lease may vary substantially from the Company's standard lease terms, if the
Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of the Advisor, determines that
the terms of an acquisition and lease of a Property, taken as a whole, are
favorable to the Company. It is expected that the structure of the long-term
"triple-net" lease agreements, which generally provide for monthly rental
payments with automatic increases in base rent at specified times during the
lease terms and/or a percentage of gross sales, will increase the value of the
Properties and provide
-39-
<PAGE>
an inflation hedge. See "Description of Leases" below for a discussion of the
anticipated terms of the Company's leases. In connection with a Property
acquisition, in the event the tenant does not enter into a Secured Equipment
Lease with the Company, the tenant will provide at its own expense all Equipment
necessary to operate the Company's Property as a restaurant or other business.
Generally, a tenant either pays cash or obtains a loan from a third party to
purchase such items. If the tenant obtains such a loan, the tenant will own this
personal property subject to the tenant's obligations under its loan. In the
experience of the Affiliates of the Company and the Advisor, there may be rare
circumstances in which a tenant defaults under such a loan, in which event the
lender may attempt to remove the personal property from the building, resulting
in the Property becoming inoperable as a restaurant or other business until new
Equipment can be purchased and installed. In order to prevent repossession of
this personal property by the lender, and only on an interim basis in order to
preserve the value of a Property, the Company may elect (but only to the extent
consistent with the Company's objective of qualifying as a REIT) to use Company
reserves to purchase this personal property from the lender, generally at a
discount for the remaining unpaid balance under the tenant's loan. The Company
then would expect, consistent with the Company's objective of qualifying as a
REIT, to resell the personal property to a new tenant in connection with the
transfer of the lease to that tenant.
Some lease agreements will be negotiated to provide the tenant with the
opportunity to purchase the Property under certain conditions, generally either
at a price not less than fair market value (determined by appraisal or
otherwise) or through a right of first refusal to purchase the Property. In
either case, the lease agreements will provide that the tenant may exercise
these rights only to the extent consistent with the Company's objective of
qualifying as a REIT. See "Sale of Properties, Mortgage Loans, and Secured
Equipment Leases" below and "Federal Income Tax Considerations --
Characterization of Leases."
The purchase of each Property will be supported by an appraisal of the
real estate prepared by an independent appraiser. The Advisor, however, will
rely on its own independent analysis and not on such appraisals in determining
whether or not to recommend that the Company acquire a particular property. The
purchase price of each such Property, plus any Acquisition Fees paid by the
Company in connection with such purchase, will not exceed the Property's
appraised value. (In connection with the acquisition of a Property which is to
be constructed or renovated, the comparison of the purchase price and the
appraised value of such Property ordinarily will be based on the "when
constructed" price and value of such Property.) It should be noted that
appraisals are estimates of value and should not be relied upon as measures of
true worth or realizable value. Each appraisal will be maintained in the
Company's records for at least five years and will be available for inspection
and duplication by any stockholder.
The titles to Properties purchased by the Company will be insured by
appropriate title insurance policies and/or abstract opinions consistent with
normal practices in the jurisdictions in which the Properties are located.
Construction and Renovation. In some cases, construction or renovation
will be required after the purchase contract has been entered into, but before
the total purchase price has been paid. In connection with the acquisition of
Properties that are to be constructed or renovated and as to which the Company
will own both the land and the building or building only, the Company generally
will enter into a development agreement with the tenant pursuant to which the
Company will advance funds to the tenant to meet construction or renovation
costs as they are incurred. The tenant generally will act as the project
developer, will enter into all construction contracts, and will arrange for and
coordinate all aspects of the construction or renovation of the restaurant
improvements. The tenant will be responsible for the construction or renovation
of the building improvements, although it may employ co-developers or sub-agents
in fulfilling its responsibilities under the development agreement. All general
contractors performing work in connection with such building improvements must
provide a payment and performance bond or other satisfactory form of guarantee
of performance. All construction and renovation will be performed or supervised
by persons or entities acceptable to the Advisor and the Board of Directors. The
Company will be obligated, as construction or renovation costs are incurred, to
make the remaining payments due as part of the purchase price for the
Properties, provided that the construction or renovation conforms to definitive
plans, specifications, and costs approved by the Advisor and the Board of
Directors and embodied in the construction contract.
Under the terms of the development agreement, the Company generally will
advance its funds on a monthly basis to meet construction draw requests of the
tenant. The Company, in general, only will advance its funds to
-40-
<PAGE>
meet the tenant's draw requests upon receipt of an inspection report and a
certification of draw requests from an inspecting architect or engineer suitable
to the Company, and the Company may retain a portion of any advance until
satisfactory completion of the project. The certification must be supported by
color photographs showing the construction work completed as of the date of
inspection. The total amount of the funds advanced to the tenant (including the
purchase price of the land plus closing costs and certain other costs) generally
will not exceed the maximum amount specified in the development agreement. Such
maximum amount will be based on the Company's estimate of the costs of such
construction or renovation.
In certain cases in which the Company intends to purchase a Property
upon completion of construction or renovation of that Property, the Company may
permit the proposed tenant to arrange for a bank or another lender to provide
construction financing to the tenant. In such cases, the lender may seek
assurance from the Company that it has sufficient funds to pay to the tenant the
full purchase price of the Property upon completion of the construction or
renovation. In the event that the Company segregates funds as assurance to the
lender of its ability to purchase the Property, the funds will remain the
property of the Company, and the lender will have no rights with respect to such
funds upon any default by the tenant under the development agreement or under
the loan agreement with such lender, or if the closing of the purchase of the
Property by the Company does not occur for any reason.
Under the development agreement, the tenant generally will be obligated
to complete the construction or renovation of the building improvements within
120 to 150 days from the date of the development agreement. If the construction
or renovation is not completed within that time and the tenant fails to remedy
this default within 10 days after notice from the Company, the Company will have
the option to grant the tenant additional time to complete the construction, to
take over construction or renovation of the building improvements, or to
terminate the development agreement and require the tenant to purchase the
Property at a price equal to the sum of (i) the Company's purchase price of the
land, including all fees, costs, and expenses paid by the Company in connection
with its purchase of the land, (ii) all fees, costs, and expenses disbursed by
the Company pursuant to the development agreement for construction of the
building improvements, and (iii) the Company's "construction financing costs."
The "construction financing costs" of the Company is an amount equal to a
return, at the annual percentage rate used in calculating the minimum annual
rent under the lease, on all Company payments and disbursements described in
clauses (i) and (ii) above.
The Company also generally will enter into an indemnification and put
agreement (the "Indemnity Agreement") with the tenant and any guarantor of the
obligations of the tenant under the lease in connection with the acquisition of
Properties to be constructed or renovated. The Indemnity Agreement will provide
for certain additional rights to the Company unless certain conditions are met.
In general, these conditions are (i) the tenant's acquisition of all permits,
approvals, and consents necessary to permit commencement of construction or
renovation of the building improvements within a specified period of time after
the date of the Indemnity Agreement (normally, 60 days), or (ii) the completion
of construction or renovation of the building as evidenced by the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy, within a specified period of time (generally, 120 to
150 days) after the date of the Indemnity Agreement. If such conditions are not
met, the Company will have the right to grant the tenant additional time to
satisfy the conditions or to require the tenant to purchase the Property from
the Company at a purchase price equal to the total amount disbursed by the
Company in connection with the acquisition and construction or renovation of the
Property (including closing costs), plus an amount equal to the return described
in item (iii) of the preceding paragraph. Failure of the tenant to purchase the
Property from the Company upon demand by the Company under the circumstances
specified above will entitle the Company to declare the tenant in default under
the lease and to declare each guarantor in default under any guarantee of the
tenant's obligations to the Company.
In certain situations where construction or renovation is required for a
Property, the Company will pay a negotiated maximum amount upon completion of
construction or renovation rather than providing financing to the tenant, with
such amount to be based on the tenant's actual costs of such construction or
renovation.
Affiliates of the Company also may provide construction financing to the
developer of a Property. In addition, the Company may purchase from an Affiliate
of the Company a Property that has been constructed or renovated by the
Affiliate. Any fees paid to Affiliates of the Company in connection with the
financing, construction or renovation of a Property acquired by the Company will
be considered Acquisition Fees and will be subject to approval by a majority of
the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, not
-41-
<PAGE>
otherwise interested in the transaction. See "Management Compensation" and
"Conflicts of Interest -- Certain Conflict Resolution Procedures." Any such fees
will be included in the cost of the Property and, therefore, will be included in
the calculation of base rent.
In all situations where construction or renovation of a Property is
required, the Company also will have the right to review the tenant's books,
records, and agreements during and following completion of construction to
verify actual costs.
Interim Acquisitions. The Affiliates of the Company and the Advisor
regularly have opportunities to acquire properties of a type suitable for
acquisition by the Company as a result of their existing relationships and past
experience with various Restaurant Chains and other businesses and their
operators. See "General" above. These acquisitions often must be made within a
relatively short period of time, occasionally at a time when the Company may be
unable to make the acquisition. In an effort to address these situations and
preserve the acquisition opportunities of the Company (and other entities with
which the Company is affiliated), the Advisor and its Affiliates maintain lines
of credit which enable them to acquire these properties on an interim basis and
temporarily own them for the purpose of facilitating their acquisition by the
Company (or other entities with which the Company is affiliated). At such time
as a Property acquired on an interim basis is determined to be suitable for
acquisition by the Company, the interim owner of the Property will sell its
interest in the Property to the Company at a price equal to the lesser of its
cost (which includes carrying costs and, in instances in which an Affiliate of
the Company has provided real estate brokerage services in connection with the
initial purchase of the Property, indirectly includes fees paid to an Affiliate
of the Company) to purchase such interest in the Property or the Property's
appraised value, provided that a majority of Directors, including a majority of
the Independent Directors, determine that the acquisition is fair and reasonable
to the Company. See "Conflicts of Interest -Certain Conflict Resolution
Procedures." Appraisals of Properties acquired from such interim owners will be
obtained in all cases.
Acquisition Services. Acquisition services performed by the Advisor may
include, but are not limited to, site selection and/or approval; review and
selection of tenants and negotiation of lease agreements and related documents;
monitoring Property acquisitions; and the processing of all final documents
and/or procedures to complete the acquisition of Properties and the commencement
of tenant occupancy and lease payments.
The Company will pay the Advisor a fee of 4.5% of the Total Proceeds as
Acquisition Fees. See "Management Compensation." The total of all Acquisition
Fees and Acquisition Expenses shall be reasonable and shall not exceed an amount
equal to 6% of the Real Estate Asset Value of a Property, or in the case of a
Mortgage Loan, 6% of the funds advanced, unless a majority of the Board of
Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, not otherwise
interested in the transaction approves fees in excess of these limits subject to
a determination that the transaction is commercially competitive, fair and
reasonable to the Company. The total of all Acquisition Fees payable to all
persons or entities will not exceed the compensation customarily charged in
arm's-length transactions by others rendering similar services as an ongoing
activity in the same geographical location and for comparable types of
properties.
The Advisor engages counsel to perform legal services, and such counsel
also may provide legal services to the Company in connection with the
acquisition of Properties. The legal fees payable to such counsel by the Company
will not exceed those generally charged for similar services.
STANDARDS FOR INVESTMENT IN PROPERTIES
Selection of Restaurant Chains and Other Businesses. The selection of
Restaurant Chains and other businesses by the Advisor, as approved by the Board
of Directors, will be based on an evaluation of the operations of restaurants in
the Restaurant Chain or businesses, the number of restaurants or businesses
operated, the relationship of average gross sales to the average capital costs
of a restaurant or other business, the relative competitive position among the
same type of restaurants or other businesses offering similar types of products,
name recognition, and market penetration. The Restaurant Chains and other
businesses will not be affiliated with the Advisor, the Company or an Affiliate.
-42-
<PAGE>
Selection of Properties and Tenants. In making investments in
Properties, the Advisor will consider relevant real property and financial
factors, including the condition, use, and location of the Property,
income-producing capacity, the prospects for long-term appreciation, the
relative success of the Restaurant Chain or other business in the geographic
area in which the Property is located, and the management capability and
financial condition of the tenant. The Company will obtain an independent
appraisal for each Property it purchases. In selecting tenants, the Advisor will
consider the prior experience of the tenant, the net worth of the tenant, past
operating results of other restaurants or other businesses currently or
previously operated by the tenant, and the tenant's prior experience in managing
restaurants or other businesses within a particular Restaurant Chain or other
business.
In selecting specific Properties within a particular Restaurant Chain or
other business and in selecting lessees for the Company's Properties, the
Advisor, as approved by the Board of Directors, will apply the following minimum
standards.
1. Each Property will be in what the Advisor believes is a prime
business location.
2. Base (or minimum) annual rent will provide a specified minimum return
on the Company's cost of purchasing and, if applicable, developing the Property,
and the lease also will generally provide for automatic increases in base rent
at specified times during the lease term and for payment of percentage rent
based on gross restaurant sales.
3. The initial lease term typically will be at least 15 to 20 years.
4. The Company will reserve the right to approve or reject any tenant
and site selected by a Restaurant Chain or other business.
5. In evaluating prospective tenants, the Company will examine, among
other factors, the tenant's ranking in its market segment, trends in per store
sales, overall changes in consumer preferences, and the tenant's ability to
adapt to changes in market and competitive conditions, the tenant's historical
financial performance, and its current financial condition.
6. In general, the Company will not acquire a Property, if, as a result,
more than 25% of its Gross Proceeds would be invested in Properties of a single
Restaurant Chain or other business or if more than 30% of its Gross Proceeds
would be invested in Properties in a single state.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
Although the Advisor has not yet selected any Properties for investment,
based on past experience and knowledge of the restaurant industry, it is
expected that any restaurant Properties purchased by the Company will conform
generally to the following specifications of size, cost, and type of land and
buildings. These specifications may vary substantially to the extent the Company
invests in other types of properties.
Land. Lot sizes generally range from 25,000 to 60,000 square feet
depending upon building size and local demographic factors. Restaurants located
on land within shopping centers will be freestanding and may be located on
smaller parcels if sufficient common parking is available. Restaurant sites
purchased by the Company will be in locations zoned for commercial use which
have been reviewed for traffic patterns and volume of traffic. There is
substantial competition for quality sites; accordingly, land costs may be high
and are generally expected to range from $150,000 to $500,000, although the cost
of the land for particular Properties may be higher or lower in some cases.
Buildings. Either before or after construction or renovation, the
restaurant Properties to be acquired by the Company will be one of a Restaurant
Chain's approved designs. Prior to purchase of all restaurant Properties, other
than those purchased prior to completion of construction, the Company will
receive a copy of the certificate of occupancy issued by the local building
inspector or other governmental authority which permits the use of the Property
as a restaurant, and shall receive a certificate from the Restaurant Chain to
the effect that (i) the Property is operational and (ii) the Property and the
tenant are in compliance with all of the Restaurant Chain's requirements,
-43-
<PAGE>
including, but not limited to, building plans and specifications approved by the
Restaurant Chain. The Company also will receive a certificate of occupancy for
each restaurant for which construction has not been completed at the time of
purchase, prior to the Company's payment of the final installment of the
purchase price for the restaurant Property.
The restaurant buildings generally will be rectangular and constructed
from various combinations of stucco, steel, wood, brick, and tile. Building
sizes generally will range from 2,500 to 6,000 square feet, with the larger
restaurants having greater seating and equipment areas. Building and site
preparation costs vary depending upon the size of the building and the site and
the area in which the restaurant Property is located. It is estimated that
building and site preparation costs generally will range from $250,000 to
$750,000 for each restaurant Property.
Generally, Properties to be acquired by the Company will consist of both
land and building, although in a number of cases the Company may acquire only
the land underlying the restaurant building with the building owned by the
tenant or a third party, and also may acquire the building only with the land
owned by a third party. In general, the Properties will be freestanding and
surrounded by paved parking areas. Buildings are suitable for conversion to
various uses, although modifications will be required prior to use for other
operations.
A tenant generally will be required by the lease agreement to make such
capital expenditures as may be reasonably necessary to refurbish buildings,
premises, signs, and equipment so as to comply with the tenant's obligations
under the franchise agreement to reflect the current commercial image of its
Restaurant Chain or other business. These capital expenditures will be paid by
the tenant during the term of the lease.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY LEASES
The terms and conditions of any lease entered into by the Company with
regard to a Property may vary from those described below. The Advisor in all
cases will use its best efforts to obtain terms at least as favorable as those
described below. If the Board of Directors determines, based on the
recommendation of the Advisor, that the terms of an acquisition and lease of a
Property, taken as a whole, are favorable to the Company, the Board of Directors
may, in its sole discretion, cause the Company to enter into leases with terms
which are substantially different than the terms described below, but only to
the extent consistent with the Company's objective of qualifying as a REIT. In
making such determination, the Advisor will consider such factors as the type
and location of the Property, the creditworthiness of the tenant, the purchase
price of the Property, the prior performance of the tenant, and the prior
business experience of management of the Company and the Company's Affiliates
with a Restaurant Chain or other business, or the operator.
General. In general, the leases are expected to be "triple-net" leases,
which means that the tenants will be required to pay for all repairs,
maintenance, property taxes, utilities, and insurance. The tenants also will be
required to pay for special assessments, sales and use taxes, and the cost of
any renovations permitted under the leases. The Company will be the lessor under
each lease except in certain circumstances in which it may be a party to a Joint
Venture which will own the Property. In those cases, the Joint Venture, rather
than the Company, will be the lessor, and all references in this section to the
Company as lessor therefore should be read accordingly. See "Joint Venture
Arrangements" below.
Term of Leases. It presently is anticipated that Properties will be
leased on a "triple-net" basis for an initial term of either 15 or 20 years with
up to five, five-year renewal options. The minimum rental payment under the
renewal option generally is expected to be greater than that due for the final
lease year of the initial term of the lease. Upon termination of the lease, the
tenant will surrender possession of the Property to the Company, together with
any improvements made to the Property during the term of the lease, except that
for (i) Properties in which the Company owns only the land underlying the
building, the tenant may retain ownership of the building and (ii) Properties in
which the Company owns only the building and not the underlying land, the owner
of the land may assume ownership of the building.
Computation of Lease Payments. During the initial term of the lease, the
tenant will pay the Company, as lessor, minimum annual rent equal to a specified
percentage of the Company's cost of purchasing the Property. Typically, the
leases provide for automatic increases in the minimum annual rent at
predetermined intervals during the term of the lease. In the case of acquisition
of Properties that are to be constructed or renovated pursuant to
-44-
<PAGE>
a development agreement, the Company's costs of purchasing the Property will
include the purchase price of the land, including all fees, costs, and expenses
paid by the Company in connection with its purchase of the land, and all fees,
costs, and expenses disbursed by the Company for construction of building
improvements. See "Site Selection and Acquisition of Properties -- Construction
and Renovation" above.
In addition to minimum annual rent, the tenant will generally pay the
Company "percentage rent." Percentage rent is computed as a percentage of the
gross sales at a particular Property. The leases generally will provide that
percentage rent will commence in the first lease year in which gross sales
exceed a specified amount. Certain leases, however, may provide that percentage
rent is to be paid quarterly beginning at the end of the first two years of the
lease and each succeeding quarter thereafter to the extent the gross sales in
that quarter exceed the average quarterly gross sales during the first two lease
years. The leases also generally will provide that the tenant will receive a
credit against percentage rent for the amount of the escalations in the minimum
annual rent due under the lease. Gross sales include sales of all products and
services, excluding sales taxes, tips paid to serving people, and sales from
vending machines.
In the case of Properties in which the Company owns only the building,
the Company will structure its leases to have recovered its investment in the
building by the expiration of the lease.
Assignment and Sublease. In general, it is expected that no lease may be
assigned or subleased without the Company's prior written consent (which may not
be unreasonably withheld) except to a tenant's corporate franchisor, corporate
affiliate or subsidiary, a successor by merger or acquisition, or, in certain
cases, another franchisee, if such assignee or subtenant agrees to operate the
same type of restaurant or business on the premises, but only to the extent
consistent with the Company's objective of qualifying as a REIT. The leases set
forth certain factors (such as the financial condition of the proposed tenant or
subtenant) that are deemed to be a reasonable basis for the Company's refusal to
consent to an assignment or sublease. In addition, the Company may refuse to
permit any assignment or sublease that would jeopardize the Company's continued
qualification as a REIT. The original tenant generally will remain fully liable,
however, for the performance of all tenant obligations under the lease following
any such assignment or sublease unless the Company agrees in writing to release
the original tenant from its lease obligations.
Alterations to Premises. A tenant generally will have the right, without
the prior consent of the Company and at the tenant's own expense, to make
certain immaterial structural modifications to the building and improvements
(with a cost of up to $10,000) or, with the Company's prior written consent and
at the tenant's own expense, to make material structural modifications that may
include demolishing and rebuilding the building. Under certain leases, the
tenant, at its own expense, may make any type of alterations to the leased
premises without the Company's consent but must provide the Company with plans
of any proposed structural modifications at least 30 days before construction of
the alterations commences. Certain leases may require the tenant to post a
payment and performance bond for any structural alterations with a cost in
excess of a certain amount.
Right of Tenant to Purchase. It is anticipated that if the Company
wishes at any time to sell a Property pursuant to a bona fide offer from a third
party, the tenant of that Property will have the right to purchase the Property
for the same price, and on the same terms and conditions, as contained in the
offer. In certain cases, the tenant also may have a right to purchase the
Property seven to 20 years after commencement of the lease at a purchase price
equal to the greater of (i) the Property's appraised value at the time of the
tenant's purchase, or (ii) a specified amount, generally equal to the Company's
purchase price of the Property, plus a predetermined percentage (generally, 15%
to 20%) of such purchase price. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations
- --Characterization of Leases."
Substitution of Properties. Under certain leases, the tenant, at its own
expense, is entitled to operate another form of approved restaurant or other
business on the Property as long as such approved restaurant or other business
has an operating history which reflects an ability to generate gross sales and
potential sales growth equal to or greater than that experienced by the tenant
in operating the original restaurant or other business.
In addition, it is anticipated that certain leases will provide the
tenant with the right, to the extent consistent with the Company's objective of
qualifying as a REIT, to offer the substitution of another property selected by
the tenant in the event that (i) the Property that is the subject of the lease
is not producing percentage rent pursuant to
-45-
<PAGE>
the terms of the lease, and (ii) the tenant determines that the Property has
become uneconomic (other than as a result of an insured casualty loss or
condemnation) for the tenant's continued use and occupancy in its business
operation and the tenant's board of directors has determined to close and
discontinue use of the Property. The tenant's determination that a Property has
become uneconomic is to be made in good faith based on the tenant's reasonable
business judgment after comparing the results of operations of the Property to
the results of operations at the majority of other properties then operated by
the tenant. If either of these events occurs, the tenant will have the right to
offer the Company the opportunity to exchange the Property for another property
(the "Substituted Property") with a total cost for land and improvements thereon
(including overhead, construction interest, and other related charges) equal to
or greater than the cost of the Property to the Company.
Generally, the Company will have 30 days following receipt of the
tenant's offer for exchange of the Property to accept or reject such offer. In
the event that the Company requests an appraisal of the Substituted Property, it
will have at least ten days following receipt of the appraisal to accept or
reject the offer. If the Company accepts such offer, (i) the Substituted
Property will be exchanged for the Property in a transaction designed and
intended to qualify as a "like-kind exchange" within the meaning of section 1031
of the Code with respect to the Company and (ii) the lease of the Property will
be amended to (a) provide for minimum rent in an amount equal to the sum
determined by multiplying the cost of the Substituted Property by the Property
lease rate and (b) provide for the number of five-year lease renewal options
sufficient to permit the tenant, at its option, to continue its occupancy of the
Substituted Property for up to 35 years from the date on which the exchange is
made. The Company will pay the tenant the excess, if any, of the cost of the
Substituted Property over the cost of the Property. If the substitution does not
take place within a specified period of time after the tenant makes the offer to
exchange the Property for the Substituted Property, either party thereafter will
have the right not to proceed with the substitution. If the Company rejects the
Substituted Property offered by the tenant, the tenant is generally required to
offer at least three additional alternative properties for the Company's
acceptance or rejection. If the Company rejects all Substituted Properties
offered to it pursuant to the lease, or otherwise fails or refuses to consummate
a substitution for any reason other than the tenant's failure to fulfill the
conditions precedent to the exchange, then the tenant will be entitled to
terminate the lease on the date scheduled for such exchange by purchasing the
Property from the Company for a price equal to the then-fair market value of the
Property.
Neither the tenant nor any of its subsidiaries, licensees,
concessionaires, or sublicensees or any other affiliate will be permitted to use
the original Property as a restaurant or other business of the same type and
style for at least one year after the closing of the original Property. In
addition, in the event the tenant or any of its affiliates sells the Property
within twelve months after the Company acquires the Substituted Property, the
Company will receive, to the extent consistent with its objective of qualifying
as a REIT, from the proceeds of the sale the amount by which the selling price
exceeds the cost of the Property to the Company.
Special Conditions. Certain leases may provide that the Company will not
be permitted to own or operate, directly or indirectly, another Property of the
same or similar type as the leased Property that is or will be located within a
specified distance of the leased Property.
Insurance, Taxes, Maintenance, and Repairs. All of the leases are
expected to require that the tenant pay all taxes and assessments, maintenance,
repair, utility, and insurance costs applicable to the real estate and permanent
improvements. Tenants will be required to maintain all Properties in good order
and repair.
Tenants generally will be required, under the terms of the leases, to
maintain, for the benefit of the Company and the tenant, casualty insurance in
an amount not less than the full replacement value of the building and other
permanent improvements (or a percent of such value in the case of certain
leases, but in no case less than 90%), as well as liability insurance, generally
in an amount not less than $2,000,000 for each location and event. All tenants,
other than those tenants with a substantial net worth, generally also will be
required to obtain "rental value" or "business interruption" insurance to cover
losses due to the occurrence of an insured event for a specified period,
generally six to twelve months. In general, no lease will be entered into
unless, in the opinion of the Advisor, as approved by the Board of Directors,
the insurance required by the lease adequately insures the Property.
The tenants generally will be required to maintain the Property and
repair any damage to the Property, except damage occurring during the last 24 to
48 months of the lease term (as extended), which in the opinion of
-46-
<PAGE>
the tenant renders the Property unsuitable for occupancy, in which case the
tenant will have the right instead to pay the insurance proceeds to the Company
and terminate the lease.
The tenant generally will be required to repair the Property in the
event that less than a material portion of the Property (for example, more than
20% of the building or more than 40% of the land) is taken for public or
quasi-public use. The Company's leases generally will provide that, in the event
of any condemnation of the Property that does not give rise to an option to
terminate the lease or in the event of any condemnation which does give rise to
an option to terminate the lease and the tenant elects not to terminate, the
Company will remit to the tenant the award from such condemnation and the tenant
will be required to repair and restore the Property. To the extent that the
award exceeds the estimated costs of restoring or repairing the Property, the
tenant is required to deposit such excess amount with the Company. Until a
specified time (generally, ten days) after the tenant has restored the premises
and all improvements thereon to the same condition as existed immediately prior
to such condemnation insofar as is reasonably possible, a "just and
proportionate" amount of the minimum annual rent will be abated from the date of
such condemnation. In addition, the minimum annual rent will be reduced in
proportion to the reduction in the then rental value of the premises or the fair
market value of the premises after the condemnation in comparison with the
rental value or fair market value prior to such condemnation.
Events of Default. The leases generally are expected to provide that the
following events, among others, will constitute a default under the lease: (i)
the insolvency or bankruptcy of the tenant, provided that the tenant may have
the right, under certain circumstances, to cure such default, (ii) the failure
of the tenant to make timely payment of rent or other charges due and payable
under the lease, if such failure continues for a specified period of time
(generally, five to 30 days) after notice from the Company of such failure,
(iii) the failure of the tenant to comply with any of its other obligations
under the lease (for example, the discontinuance of operations of the leased
Property) if such failure continues for a specified period of time (generally,
ten to 45 days), (iv) a default under or termination of the franchise agreement
between the tenant and its franchisor, (v) in cases where the Company enters
into a development agreement relating to the construction or renovation of a
building, a default under the development agreement or the Indemnity Agreement
or the failure to establish the minimum annual rent at the end of the
development period, and (vi) in cases where the Company has entered into other
leases with the same tenant, a default under such lease.
Upon default by the tenant, the Company generally will have the right
under the lease and under most state laws to evict the tenant, re-lease the
Property to others, and hold the tenant responsible for any deficiency in the
minimum lease payments. Similarly, if the Company determined not to re-lease the
Property, it could sell the Property. (Unless required to do so by the lease or
its investment objectives, however, the Company does not intend to sell any
Property prior to five to ten years after the commencement of the lease on such
Property. See "Right of Tenant to Purchase" above.) In the event that a lease
requires the tenant to make a security deposit (which it is anticipated normally
would be equal to two months' base rent), the Company will have the right under
the lease to apply the security deposit, upon default by the tenant, towards any
payments due from the defaulting tenant. In general, the tenant will remain
liable for all amounts due under the lease to the extent not paid from a
security deposit or by a new tenant.
In the event that a tenant defaults under a lease with the Company, the
Company either will attempt to locate a replacement operator acceptable to the
Restaurant Chain or other business involved or will discontinue operation of the
restaurant or other business. In lieu of obtaining a replacement operator, some
Restaurant Chains and other businesses may have the option and may elect to
operate the restaurants or other businesses themselves. The Company will have no
obligation to operate the restaurants or other business, and no Restaurant Chain
or other business will be obligated to permit the Company or a replacement
operator to operate the restaurants or other businesses.
JOINT VENTURE ARRANGEMENTS
The Company may enter into a Joint Venture to own and operate a Property
with various unaffiliated persons or entities or with another program formed by
the principals of the Company or the Advisor or their Affiliates, if a majority
of the Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, not
otherwise interested in the transaction determine that the investment in the
Joint Venture is fair and reasonable to the Company and on substantially the
same terms and conditions as those to be received by the co-venturer or
co-venturers. The
-47-
<PAGE>
Company may take more or less than a 50% interest in any Joint Venture, subject
to obtaining the requisite approval of the Directors. See "Risk Factors -- Real
Estate and Financing Risks -- Risks of Joint Investment in Properties."
Under the terms of each Joint Venture agreement, the Company and each
joint venture partner will be jointly and severally liable for all debts,
obligations, and other liabilities of the Joint Venture, and the Company and
each joint venture partner will have the power to bind each other with any
actions they take within the scope of the Joint Venture's business. In addition,
it is expected that the Advisor or its Affiliates will be entitled to
reimbursement, at cost, for actual expenses incurred by the Advisor or its
Affiliates on behalf of the Joint Venture. Joint Ventures entered into to
purchase and hold a Property for investment generally will have an initial term
of 15 to 20 years (generally the same term as the initial term of the lease for
the Property in which the Joint Venture invests), and, after the expiration of
the initial term, will continue in existence from year to year unless terminated
at the option of either joint venturer or unless terminated by an event of
dissolution. Events of dissolution will include the bankruptcy, insolvency, or
termination of any co-venturer, sale of the Property owned by the Joint Venture,
mutual agreement of the Company and its joint venture partner to dissolve the
Joint Venture, and the expiration of the term of the Joint Venture. The Joint
Venture agreement typically will restrict each venturer's ability to sell,
transfer, or assign its joint venture interest without first offering it for
sale to its co-venturer. In addition, in any Joint Venture with another program
sponsored by the Advisor or its Affiliates, where such arrangements are entered
into for the purpose of purchasing and holding Properties for investment, in the
event that one party desires to sell the Property and the other party does not
desire to sell, either party will have the right to trigger dissolution of the
Joint Venture by sending a notice to the other party. The notice will establish
the price and terms for the sale or purchase of the other party's interest in
the Joint Venture to the other party. The Joint Venture agreement will grant the
receiving party the right to elect either to purchase the other party's interest
on the terms set forth in the notice or to sell its own interest on such terms.
The following paragraphs describe the allocations and distributions
under the expected terms of the joint venture agreement for any Joint Venture in
which the Company and its co-venturer each have a 50% ownership interest. In any
other case, the allocations and distributions are expected to be similar to
those described below, except that allocations and distributions which are
described below as being made 50% to each co-venturer will instead be made in
proportion to each co-venturer's respective ownership interest.
Under the terms of each joint venture agreement, operating profits and
losses generally will be allocated 50% to each co-venturer. Profits from the
sale or other disposition of Joint Venture property first will be allocated to
any co-venturers with negative capital account balances in proportion to such
balances until such capital accounts equal zero, and thereafter 50% to each
co-venturer. Similarly, losses from the sale or other disposition of Joint
Venture property first will be allocated to joint venture partners with positive
capital account balances in proportion to such balances until such capital
accounts equal zero, and thereafter 50% to each co-venturer. Notwithstanding any
other provisions in the Joint Venture agreement, income, gain, loss, and
deductions with respect to any contributed property will be shared in a manner
which takes into account the variation between the basis of such property and
its fair market value at the time of contribution in accordance with section
704(c) of the Code.
Net cash flow from operations of the Joint Venture will be distributed
50% to each joint venture partner. Any liquidation proceeds, after paying joint
venture debts and liabilities and funding reserves for contingent liabilities,
will be distributed first to the joint venture partners with positive capital
account balances in proportion to such balances until such balances equal zero,
and thereafter 50% to each joint venture partner.
In order that the allocations of Joint Venture income, gain, loss, and
deduction provided in Joint Venture agreements may be respected for federal
income tax purposes, it is expected that any Joint Venture agreement (i) will
contain a "qualified income offset" provision, (ii) will prohibit allocations of
loss or deductions to the extent such allocation would cause or increase an
"Adjusted Capital Account Deficit," and (iii) will require (a) that capital
accounts be maintained for each joint venture partner in a manner which complies
with Treasury Regulation ss.1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and (b) that distributions of
proceeds from the liquidation of a partner's interest in the Joint Venture
(whether or not in connection with the liquidation of the Joint Venture) be made
in accordance with the partner's positive capital account balance. See "Federal
Income Tax Considerations -- Investment in Joint Ventures."
-48-
<PAGE>
Prior to entering into any Joint Venture arrangement with any
unaffiliated co-venturer (or the principals of any unaffiliated co-venturer),
the Company will confirm that such person or entity has demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the Company that requisite financial qualifications are met.
MORTGAGE LOANS
The Company intends to provide Mortgage Loans to operators of the
Restaurant Chains and other businesses, or their affiliates, to enable them to
acquire the building and improvements on real property. Generally, in these
cases, the Company will acquire the underlying land and will enter into a
long-term ground lease for the Property with the borrower as the tenant. The
Mortgage Loan will be secured by the building and improvements on the land.
Management believes that the criteria for investing in such Mortgage Loans are
substantially the same as those involved in the Company's investments in
Properties consisting of buildings only; therefore, the Company will use the
same underwriting criteria as described above in "Business -- Standards for
Investment in Properties."
Generally, management believes the economic effects of these
transactions are substantially the same as those of the Company's Property
leases. The borrower will be responsible for all of the expenses of owning the
building and improvements, as with the "triple-net" leases, including expenses
for insurance and repairs and maintenance. Management expects the Mortgage Loans
will be fully amortizing loans over a period of 15 to 20 years (generally, the
same term as the initial term of the Property leases), with payments of
principal and interest due monthly. In addition, management expects the interest
rate charged under the terms of the Mortgage Loan will be fixed over the term of
the loan and generally will be comparable to, or slightly lower than, lease
rates charged to tenants for the Properties.
Management also believes that the combined leasing and financing
structure provides the benefit of allowing the Company to receive, on a fixed
income basis, the return of its initial investment in each financed building,
which is generally a depreciating asset, plus interest. At the same time, the
Company retains ownership of the underlying land, which may appreciate in value,
thus providing an opportunity for a capital gain on the sale of the land. In
such cases, in which the borrower is also the tenant under a Property lease for
the underlying land, if the borrower does not elect to exercise its purchase
option to acquire the Property under the terms of the lease, the building and
improvements on the Property will revert to the Company at the end of term of
the lease, including any renewal periods. If the borrower does elect to exercise
its purchase option as the tenant of the underlying land, the Company will
generally have the option of selling the Property at the greater of fair market
value or cost plus a specified percentage.
The Company also intends to provide Mortgage Loans to operators of the
Restaurant Chains and other businesses, or their affiliates, to enable them to
purchase the building and improvements on real property and the underlying real
property. These Mortgage Loans will be structured as traditional mortgages with
the borrowers owning the buildings and the underlying land and the buildings and
underlying land providing security for the Mortgage Loans.
In order to increase its potential return, the Company may "securitize"
Mortgage Loans provided to finance the purchase of buildings and the underlying
land by transferring such Mortgage Loans into one or more special purpose
financing vehicles which, in turn, would divide the total pool of Mortgage Loans
into separate series of participation interests, called "tranches," and would
issue two or more series of participation interests. The rate of return on the
senior series would be less than the average rate of return on the pool of
Mortgage Loans contributed to such vehicle. Thus, if payments are timely made
with respect to such Mortgage Loans, the rate of return on the subordinated
series will be higher than the average interest rate of the pool of Mortgage
Loans. The Company would retain the subordinated series of participation
interest. The Company also may transfer such Mortgage Loans into one or more
special purpose financing vehicles into which Affiliates of the Company would
also transfer the same type of loans.
The Company will not make or invest in Mortgage Loans unless an
appraisal is obtained concerning the property that secures the Mortgage Loan.
Mortgage indebtedness on any property shall not exceed such property's appraised
value. In cases in which the majority of the Independent Directors so determine,
and in all cases in which the Mortgage Loan involves the Advisor, Directors, or
Affiliates, such appraisal must be obtained from an independent expert
concerning the underlying property. Such appraisal shall be maintained in the
Company's
-49-
<PAGE>
records for at least five years, and shall be available for inspection and
duplication by any stockholder. In addition to the appraisal, a mortgagee's or
owner's title insurance policy or commitment as to the priority of the mortgage
or condition of the title must be obtained.
In addition, the Company will not make or invest in Mortgage Loans on
any one property if the aggregate amount of all mortgage loans outstanding on
the property, including the loans of the Company, would exceed an amount equal
to 85% of the appraised value of the property as determined by appraisal unless
substantial justification exists because of the presence of other underwriting
criteria. For purposes of this limitation, the aggregate amount of all mortgage
loans outstanding on the property, including the loans of the Company, shall
include all interest (excluding contingent participation in income and/or
appreciation in value of the mortgaged property), the current payment of which
may be deferred pursuant to the terms of such loans, to the extent that deferred
interest on each loan exceeds 5% per annum of the principal balance of the loan.
Further, the Company will not make or invest in any Mortgage Loans that
are subordinate to any mortgage, other indebtedness or equity interest of the
Advisor, the Directors, or their Affiliates.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES
The Advisor will provide management services relating to the Company,
the Properties, the Mortgage Loans, and the Secured Equipment Lease program
pursuant to an Advisory Agreement between it and the Company. Under this
agreement, the Advisor will be responsible for assisting the Company in
negotiating leases, the Loan, Mortgage Loans, and Secured Equipment Leases,
collecting rental, Mortgage Loan and Secured Equipment Lease payments,
inspecting the Properties and the tenants' books and records, and responding to
tenant inquiries and notices. The Advisor also will provide information to the
Company about the status of the leases, the Properties, the Mortgage Loans, the
Line of Credit, the Permanent Financing, the Loan and the Secured Equipment
Leases. In exchange for these services, the Advisor will be entitled to receive
certain fees from the Company. For supervision of the Properties and Mortgage
Loans, the Advisor will receive the Asset Management Fee, which, generally, is
payable monthly in an amount equal to one-twelfth of .60% of Real Estate Asset
Value plus the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loans as of the end
of the preceding month. For negotiating Secured Equipment Leases and supervising
the Secured Equipment Lease program, the Advisor will receive, upon entering
into each lease, a Secured Equipment Lease Servicing Fee, payable out of the
proceeds of the Loan, equal to 2% of the purchase price of the Equipment subject
to each Secured Equipment Lease. See "Management Compensation."
BORROWING
The Company plans to obtain a Line of Credit in an amount up to
$45,000,000, the proceeds of which will be used to acquire Properties and to
make Mortgage Loans. The Line of Credit will provide short-term financing which
the Company anticipates will be repaid using additional offering proceeds or
refinanced on a long-term basis. The Company may encumber Properties in
connection with the Line of Credit. The Company also plans to obtain Permanent
Financing, the proceeds of which will be used to acquire Properties, make
Mortgage Loans, pay related Acquisition Fees to the Advisor and refinance
short-term indebtedness on the Line of Credit in an amount up to 30% of Gross
Proceeds of the offering. The Company intends to encumber Properties in
connection with the Permanent Financing. In addition the Company plans to obtain
a Loan, the proceeds of which will be used to fund the Secured Equipment Lease
program and to pay the Secured Equipment Lease Servicing Fee, in an amount up to
10% of Gross Proceeds of the offering. The Company has engaged in preliminary
discussions with potential lenders but has not yet received a commitment for the
Line of Credit, any Permanent Financing or the Loan and there is no assurance
that the Company will obtain the Line of Credit, any Permanent Financing or the
Loan on satisfactory terms.
Management believes that during the offering period the Line of Credit,
if obtained, will allow the Company to make investments in Properties and
Mortgage Loans that the Company otherwise would be forced to delay until it
raised a sufficient amount of proceeds from the sale of Shares to allow the
Company to make the investments. By eliminating this delay the Company will also
eliminate the risk that these investments will no longer be available, or the
terms of the investment will be less favorable, when the Company has raised
sufficient offering proceeds. Alternatively, Affiliates of the Advisor could
make such investments, pending receipt by the Company
-50-
<PAGE>
of sufficient offering proceeds, in order to preserve the investment
opportunities for the Company. However, Properties acquired by the Company in
this manner would be subject to closing costs both on the original purchase by
the Affiliate and on the subsequent purchase by the Company, which would
increase the amount of expenses associated with the acquisition of Properties
and reduce the amount of offering proceeds available for investment in
income-producing assets. Management believes that the use of Line of Credit by
the Company will enable the Company to reduce or eliminate the instances in
which the Company will be required to pay duplicate closing costs.
Similarly, management believes that the Permanent Financing, if
obtained, will benefit the Company by allowing it to take advantage of its
ability to borrow at favorable interest rates. Specifically, the Company intends
to structure the terms of any Permanent Financing so that the lease rates for
Properties acquired and the interest rates for Mortgage Loans made with the loan
proceeds will exceed the interest rate payable on the Permanent Financing. To
the extent that the Company is able to structure the Permanent Financing on
these terms, the Permanent Financing will allow the Company to increase its net
revenues. In addition, the use of Permanent Financing will increase the
diversification of the Company's portfolio by allowing it to acquire more
Properties and make more Mortgage Loans than would be possible using only the
Gross Proceeds from the offering.
As a result of existing relationships between Affiliates of the Advisor
and certain financing sources, the Company may have the opportunity to obtain
Permanent Financing at more favorable interest rates than the Company could
otherwise obtain. In connection with any Permanent Financing obtained by the
Company as a result of any such relationship, the Company will pay a loan
origination fee to the Affiliate. In addition, certain lenders may require, as a
condition of providing Permanent Financing to the Company, that the Affiliate
with which the lender has an existing relationship act as a loan servicing
agent. In connection with any such arrangement the Company will pay a loan
servicing fee to the Affiliate. Any loan origination fee or loan servicing fee
paid to an Affiliate of the Company is subject to the approval by a majority of
the Board of Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not
otherwise interested in the transaction as fair and reasonable to the Company
and on terms not less favorable to the Company than those available from
unaffiliated third parties and not less favorable than those available from the
Advisor or its Affiliates in transactions with unaffiliated third parties. See
"Conflicts of Interest -- Certain Conflict Resolution Procedures."
The Company may also borrow funds for the purpose of preserving its
status as a REIT. For example, the Company may borrow to the extent necessary to
permit the Company to make Distributions required in order to enable the Company
to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes; however, the Company will
not borrow for the purpose of returning capital to the stockholders unless
necessary to eliminate corporate-level tax to the Company. The aggregate
borrowing of the Company, secured and unsecured, shall be reasonable in relation
to Net Assets of the Company and shall be reviewed by the Board of Directors at
least quarterly. The Board of Directors anticipates that the aggregate amount of
any borrowing at the conclusion of the offering will not exceed 40% of Gross
Proceeds (including the Permanent Financing and the Loan) although the maximum
amount of borrowing in relation to Net Assets, in the absence of a satisfactory
showing that a higher level of borrowing is appropriate, shall not exceed 300%
of Net Assets. Any excess in borrowing over such 300% level shall occur only
with approval by a majority of the Independent Directors and will be disclosed
and explained to stockholders in the first quarterly report of the Company
prepared after such approval occurs.
SALE OF PROPERTIES, MORTGAGE LOANS, AND SECURED EQUIPMENT LEASES
For the first five to ten years after the commencement of the offering,
the Company intends, to the extent consistent with the Company's objective of
qualifying as a REIT, to reinvest in additional Properties or Mortgage Loans any
proceeds of the Sale of a Property or a Mortgage Loan that are not required to
be distributed to stockholders in order to preserve the Company's REIT status
for federal income tax purposes. The Company may also use such proceeds to
reduce its outstanding indebtedness. Similarly, and to the extent consistent
with REIT qualification, the Company plans to use the proceeds of the Sale of a
Secured Equipment Lease to fund additional Secured Equipment Leases, or to
reduce its outstanding indebtedness on the Loan. At or prior to the end of such
ten-year period, the Company intends to provide stockholders of the Company with
liquidity of their investment, either in whole or in part, through Listing
(although liquidity cannot be assured thereby) or by commencing orderly sales of
the Company's assets. If Listing occurs, the Company intends to use any Net
Sales Proceeds not required to be distributed to stockholders in order to
preserve the Company's status as a REIT to reinvest in additional Properties,
Mortgage Loans, and Secured Equipment Leases or to repay outstanding
indebtedness. If Listing does
-51-
<PAGE>
not occur within ten years after the commencement of the offering, the Company
thereafter will undertake the orderly liquidation of the Company and the Sale of
the Company's assets and will distribute any Net Sales Proceeds to stockholders.
In addition, the Company will not sell any assets if such Sale would not be
consistent with the Company's objective of qualifying as a REIT.
In deciding the precise timing and terms of Property Sales, the Advisor
will consider factors such as national and local market conditions, potential
capital appreciation, cash flows, and federal income tax considerations. The
terms of certain leases, however, may require the Company to sell a Property at
an earlier time if the tenant exercises its option to purchase a Property after
a specified portion of the lease term has elapsed. See "Business -- Description
of Leases -- Right of Tenant to Purchase." The Company will have no obligation
to sell all or any portion of a Property at any particular time, except as may
be required under property or joint venture purchase options granted to certain
tenants. In connection with Sales of Properties by the Company, purchase money
obligations may be taken by the Company as part payment of the sales price. The
terms of payment will be affected by custom in the area in which the Property is
located and by prevailing economic conditions. When a purchase money obligation
is accepted in lieu of cash upon the Sale of a Property, the Company will
continue to have a mortgage on the Property and the proceeds of the Sale will be
realized over a period of years rather than at closing of the Sale.
The Company does not anticipate selling the Secured Equipment Leases
prior to expiration of the lease term, except in the event that the Company
undertakes orderly liquidation of its assets. In addition, the Company does not
anticipate selling any Mortgage Loans prior to the expiration of the loan term,
except in the event (i) the Company owns the Property (land only) underlying the
building improvements which secure the Mortgage Loan and the Sale of the
Property occurs, or (ii) the Company undertakes an orderly Sale of its assets.
FRANCHISE REGULATION
Many states regulate the franchise or license relationship between a
tenant/franchisee and a franchisor. The Company will not be an Affiliate of any
franchisor, and is not currently aware of any states in which the relationship
between the Company as lessor and the tenant will be subjected to those
regulations, but it will comply with such regulations in the future, if so
required. Restaurant Chains and other businesses which franchise their
operations are subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission.
COMPETITION
The fast-food, family-style, and casual-dining restaurant business is
characterized by intense competition. The operators of the restaurants located
on the Properties will compete with independently owned restaurants, restaurants
which are part of local or regional chains, and restaurants in other well-known
national chains, including those offering different types of food and service.
Many successful fast-food, family-style, and casual-dining restaurants
are located in "eating islands," which are areas to which people tend to return
frequently and within which they can diversify their eating habits, because in
many cases local competition may enhance the restaurant's success instead of
detracting from it. Fastfood, family-style, and casual-dining restaurants
frequently experience better operating results when there are other restaurants
in the same area.
The other types of businesses in which the Company will invest will
experience similar types of competition.
The Company will be in competition with other persons and entities both
to locate suitable Properties to acquire and to locate purchasers for its
Properties. The Company also will compete with other financing sources such as
banks, mortgage lenders, and sale/leaseback companies for suitable Properties,
tenants, Mortgage Loan borrowers and Equipment tenants.

<PAGE>
REGULATION OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND SECURED EQUIPMENT LEASES
The Mortgage Loan and Secured Equipment Lease programs may be subject to
regulation by federal, state and local authorities and subject to various laws
and judicial and administrative decisions imposing various requirements and
restrictions, including among other things, regulating credit granting
activities, establishing maximum interest rates and finance charges, requiring
disclosures to customers, governing secured transactions and setting collection,
repossession, claims handling procedures and other trade practices. In addition,
certain states may have enacted legislation requiring the licensing of mortgage
bankers or other lenders and these requirements may affect the Company's ability
to effectuate its Mortgage Loan and Secured Equipment Lease programs.
Commencement of operations into these or other jurisdictions may be dependent
upon a finding of financial responsibility, character and fitness of the
Company. The Company may determine not to make Mortgage Loans or enter into
Secured Equipment Leases in any jurisdiction in which it believes the Company
has not complied in all material respects with applicable requirements.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY
The Company has been formed recently and has no operating history. Since
leases will be entered into on a "triple-net" basis, the Company does not
expect, although it has the right, to maintain a reserve for operating expenses.
The Company's Properties, Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases will not
be readily marketable and their value may be affected by general market
conditions. Nevertheless, management believes that capital and revenues of the
Company will be sufficient to fund the Company's anticipated investments,
proposed operations, and cash Distributions to the stockholders.
Until the Company sells a minimum of 150,000 Shares ($1,500,000), all
proceeds of the offering of its Shares will be held in escrow. After the sale of
the minimum number of Shares of the Company, the proceeds will be deposited in
the Company's general accounts, and, thereafter, the Company intends to commence
its acquisition of suitable Properties and its investment in Mortgage Loans.
Pending investment in suitable Properties and Mortgage Loans, Company
funds will be invested in short-term, highly liquid U.S. Government securities
or in other short-term, highly liquid investments with appropriate safety of
principal. It is anticipated that the proceeds of the Loan will be obtained from
the lender from time to time as funds are needed to purchase Equipment for
Secured Equipment Leases. Management anticipates that after the Company has
invested in the Properties, the Mortgage Loans and the Secured Equipment Leases,
Company revenues sufficient to pay operating expenses, provide cash
Distributions to the stockholders and service debt will be derived from the
lease and mortgage payments paid to the Company by the tenants and borrowers.
The Company's primary investment objectives are to preserve, protect,
and enhance the Company's assets while (i) making distributions commencing in
the initial year of Company operations; (ii) obtaining fixed income through the
receipt of base rent, and increasing the Company's income (and distributions)
and providing protection against inflation through automatic increases in base
rent and receipt of percentage rent, and obtaining fixed income through the
receipt of payments from Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases; (iii)
qualifying as a REIT for federal income tax purposes; and (iv) providing
stockholders of the Company with liquidity of their investment within five to
ten years after commencement of the offering, either in whole or in part,
through (a) Listing, or (b) the commencement of orderly sales of the Company's
assets, and distribution of the proceeds thereof (outside the ordinary course of
business and consistent with its objective of qualifying as a REIT).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company will use Net Offering Proceeds (Gross Proceeds less fees and
expenses of the offering) from this offering to purchase Properties and to
invest in Mortgage Loans, and will use the proceeds of the Loan to fund the
Secured Equipment Lease program. See "Investment Objectives and Policies."
-53-
<PAGE>
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company had not entered into any
arrangements creating a reasonable probability that a Property would be acquired
by the Company or that a particular Mortgage Loan or Secured Equipment Lease
would be funded. The number of Properties to be acquired and the number of
Mortgage Loans to be invested in by the Company will depend upon the amount of
Net Offering Proceeds available and the amount of funds borrowed to acquire
Properties and make Mortgage Loans. The Company has not obtained a commitment
for the Line of Credit or any Permanent Financing, and there is no assurance
that the Company will obtain the Line of Credit or any Permanent Financing on
satisfactory terms. The number of Secured Equipment Leases to be offered is
currently undetermined, but the Company will fund the Secured Equipment Lease
Program with the Loan, the maximum principal amount of which shall not exceed
10% of Gross Proceeds, and the Company has undertaken, consistent with its
objective of qualifying as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, to ensure
that the value of the Secured Equipment Leases, in the aggregate, will not
exceed 25% of the Company's total assets and that the value of the Secured
Equipment Leases to a single lessee, in the aggregate, will not exceed 5% of the
Company's total assets. The Company has not obtained a commitment for the Loan,
and there is no assurance that the Company will obtain the Loan on satisfactory
terms. Management is not aware of any material trends, favorable or unfavorable,
in either capital resources or the outlook for long-term cash generation, nor
does management expect any material changes in the availability and relative
cost of such capital resources, other than as referred to in this Prospectus.
Management expects that the cash to be generated from operations will be
adequate to pay operating expenses and to make Distributions to stockholders.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As of the initial date of this Prospectus, no significant operations had
commenced because the Company was in its development stage. No operations will
commence until such time as the Company has sold at least 150,000 Shares
($1,500,000). Management is not aware of any known trends or uncertainties,
other than national economic conditions, which may reasonably be expected to
have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on revenues or income from the
acquisition and operations of real properties, other than those referred to in
this Prospectus.
There currently are no material changes being considered in the
objectives and policies of the Company as set forth in this Prospectus.
MANAGEMENT
GENERAL
The Company will operate under the direction of the Board of Directors,
the members of which are accountable to the Company as fiduciaries. As required
by applicable regulations, a majority of the Independent Directors and a
majority of the Directors have reviewed and ratified the Articles of
Incorporation and have adopted the Bylaws.
The Company currently has five Directors; it may have no fewer than
three Directors and no more than 15. Directors will be elected annually, and
each Director will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders or
until his successor has been duly elected and qualified. There is no limit on
the number of times that a Director may be elected to office. Although the
number of Directors may be increased or decreased as discussed above, a decrease
shall not have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent Director.
Any Director may resign at any time and may be removed with or without
cause by the stockholders upon the affirmative vote of at least a majority of
all the Shares outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting called for this
purpose. The notice of such meeting shall indicate that the purpose, or one of
the purposes, of such meeting is to determine if a Director shall be removed.

<PAGE>
FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors will be responsible for the management and
control of the affairs of the Company; however, the Board of Directors will
retain the Advisor to manage the Company's day-to-day affairs and the
acquisition and disposition of investments, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Directors.
The Directors are not required to devote all of their time to the
Company and are only required to devote such of their time to the affairs of the
Company as their duties require. The Board of Directors will meet quarterly in
person or by telephone, or more frequently if necessary. It is not expected that
the Directors will be required to devote a substantial portion of their time to
discharge their duties as directors. Consequently, in the exercise of their
fiduciary responsibilities, the Directors will rely heavily on the Advisor. In
this regard, the Advisor, in addition to the Directors, will have a fiduciary
duty to the Company.
The Directors will monitor the administrative procedures, investment
operations, and performance of the Company and the Advisor to assure that such
policies are in the best interest of the stockholders and are fulfilled. Until
modified by the Directors, the Company will follow the policies on investments
set forth in this Prospectus. See "Investment Objectives and Policies."
The Independent Directors are responsible for reviewing the fees and
expenses of the Company at least annually or with sufficient frequency to
determine that the total fees and expenses of the Company are reasonable in
light of the Company's investment performance, Net Assets, Net Income, and the
fees and expenses of other comparable unaffiliated real estate investment
trusts. This determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of
the Board of Directors. For purposes of this determination, Net Assets are the
Company's total assets (other than intangibles), calculated at cost before
deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities, and
computed at least quarterly on a basis consistently applied. Such determination
will be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors. In
addition, a majority of the Independent Directors and a majority of Directors
not otherwise interested in the transaction must approve each transaction with
the Advisor or its Affiliates. The Board of Directors also will be responsible
for reviewing and evaluating the performance of the Advisor before entering into
or renewing an advisory agreement. The Independent Directors shall determine
from time to time and at least annually that compensation to be paid to the
Advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be
performed and shall supervise the performance of the Advisor and the
compensation paid to it by the Company to determine that the provisions of the
Advisory Agreement are being carried out. Specifically, the Independent
Directors will consider factors such as the amount of the fee paid to the
Advisor in relation to the size, composition and performance of the Company's
investments, the success of the Advisor in generating appropriate investment
opportunities, rates charged to other comparable REITs and other investors by
advisors performing similar services, additional revenues realized by the
Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship with the Company, whether
paid by the Company or by others with whom the Company does business, the
quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor, the
performance of the investment portfolio of the Company and the quality of the
portfolio of the Company relative to the investments generated by the Advisor
for its own account. Such review and evaluation will be reflected in the minutes
of the meetings of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall
determine that any successor Advisor possesses sufficient qualifications to (i)
perform the advisory function for the Company and (ii) justify the compensation
provided for in its contract with the Company.
The liability of the officers and Directors while serving in such
capacity is limited in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and
applicable law. See "Summary of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
- --Limitation of Director and Officer Liability."

THE ADVISOR AND THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT
THE ADVISOR
CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. is a Florida corporation organized in March,
1994 to provide management, advisory and administrative services. The Company
entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor effective ____________,
1996. CNL Fund Advisors, Inc., as Advisor, has a fiduciary responsibility to the
Company and the stockholders.
The directors and officers of the Advisor are as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
James M. Seneff, Jr. ................. Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and Director
Robert A. Bourne ..................... President and Director
John T. Walker ....................... Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President
Edgar J. McDougall ................... Executive Vice President
Lynn E. Rose ......................... Secretary, Treasurer and Director
Jeanne A. Wall ....................... Executive Vice President
</TABLE>
The backgrounds of these individuals are described above under
"Management--Directors and Officers."
The Advisor employs personnel, in addition to the directors and
executive officers listed above, who have extensive experience in selecting and
managing restaurant properties similar to the Properties.
The Advisor currently owns 20,000 Shares. The Advisor may not sell these
Shares while the Advisory Agreement is in effect, although the Advisor may
transfer such Shares to Affiliates. Neither the Advisor, a Director, or any
Affiliate may vote or consent on matters submitted to the stockholders regarding
removal of, or any transaction between the Company and the Advisor, Directors,
or an Affiliate. In determining the requisite percentage in interest of Shares
necessary to approve a matter on which the Advisor, Directors, and any Affiliate
may not vote or consent, any Shares owned by any of them will not be included.
-59-
<PAGE>
THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor has
responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Company, administers the
Company's bookkeeping and accounting functions, serves as the Company's
consultant in connection with policy decisions to be made by the Board of
Directors, manages the Company's Properties and Mortgage Loans, administers the
Company's Secured Equipment Lease program and renders other services as the
Board of Directors deems appropriate. The Advisor is subject to the supervision
of the Company's Board of Directors and has only such functions as are delegated
to it.
The Company will reimburse the Advisor for all of the costs it incurs in
connection with the services it provides to the Company, including, but not
limited to: (i) Organizational and Offering Expenses, which are defined to
include expenses attributable to preparing the documents relating to this
offering, the formation and organization of the Company, qualification of the
Shares for sale in the states, escrow arrangements, filing fees and expenses
attributable to selling the Shares, (ii) Selling Commissions, advertising
expenses, expense reimbursements, and legal and accounting fees, (iii) the
actual cost of goods and materials used by the Company and obtained from
entities not affiliated with the Advisor, including brokerage fees paid in
connection with the purchase and sale of securities, (iv) administrative
services (including personnel costs; provided, however that no reimbursement
shall be made for costs of personnel to the extent that such personnel perform
services in transactions for which the Advisor receives a separate fee), (v)
Acquisition Expenses, which are defined to include expenses related to the
selection and acquisition of Properties, at the lesser of actual cost or 90% of
the competitive rate charged by unaffiliated persons providing similar goods and
services in the same geographic location, and (vi) expenses related to
negotiating and servicing the Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases.
The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal
quarter Operating Expenses that, in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then
ended (the "Expense Year") exceed (the "Excess Amount") the greater of 2% of
Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the "2%/25% Guidelines") for such
year. Any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be
repaid to the Company. If there is an Excess Amount in any Expense Year and the
Independent Directors determine that such Excess Amount was justified, based on
unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, the Excess Amount
may be carried over and included in Operating Expenses in subsequent Expense
Years, and reimbursed to the Advisor in one or more of such years, provided that
Operating Expenses in any Expense Year, including any Excess Amount to be paid
to the Advisor, shall not exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines. Within 60 days after the
end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which total Operating Expenses for
the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, there shall be sent to the
stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of
the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such Excess
Amount was justified. Such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of
the meetings of the Board of Directors.
The Company will not reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates for
services for which the Advisor or its Affiliates are entitled to compensation in
the form of a separate fee.
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive
certain fees and reimbursements, as listed in "Management -- Management
Compensation." The Subordinated Incentive Fee payable to the Advisor under
certain circumstances if Listing occurs may be paid, at the option of the
Company, in cash, in Shares, by delivery of a promissory note payable to the
Advisor, or by any combination thereof. In the event the Subordinated Incentive
Fee is paid to the Advisor following Listing, no Performance Fee, as described
below, will be paid to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement nor will any
additional share of Net Sales Proceeds be paid to the Advisor. The total of all
Acquisition Fees and any Acquisition Expenses payable to the Advisor and its
Affiliates shall be reasonable and shall not exceed an amount equal to 6% of the
Real Estate Asset Value of a Property, or in the case of a Mortgage Loan, 6% of
the funds advanced, unless a majority of the Board of Directors, including a
majority of the Independent Directors not otherwise interested in the
transaction, approves fees in excess of this limit subject to a determination
that the transaction is commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the
Company. The Acquisition Fees payable in connection with the selection or
acquisition of any Property shall be reduced to the extent that, and if
necessary to limit, the total compensation paid to all persons involved in the
acquisition of such Property to the amount customarily charged in arm's-length
transactions by other persons or entities rendering similar services as an
ongoing public activity in the same geographical location and for comparable
types of
-60-
<PAGE>
Properties, and to the extent that other acquisition fees, finder's fees, real
estate commissions, or other similar fees or commissions are paid by any person
in connection with the transaction.
If the Advisor or a CNL Affiliate performs services that are outside of
the scope of the Advisory Agreement, compensation is at such rates and in such
amounts as are agreed to by the Advisor and the Independent Directors of the
Company.
Further, if Listing occurs, the Company automatically will become a
perpetual life entity. At such time, the Company and the Advisor will negotiate
in good faith a fee structure appropriate for an entity with a perpetual life,
subject to approval by a majority of the Independent Directors. In negotiating a
new fee structure, the Independent Directors shall consider all of the factors
they deem relevant. These are expected to include, but will not necessarily be
limited to: (i) the amount of the advisory fee in relation to the asset value,
composition, and profitability of the Company's portfolio; (ii) the success of
the Advisor in generating opportunities that meet the investment objectives of
the Company; (iii) the rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than
REITs by advisors that perform the same or similar services; (iv) additional
revenues realized by the Advisor 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; (v) the quality
and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor; (vi) the performance
of the investment portfolio of the Company, including income, conservation or
appreciation of capital, and number and frequency of problem investments; and
(vii) the quality of the Property, Mortgage Loan and Secured Equipment Lease
portfolio of the Company in relationship to the investments generated by the
Advisor for its own account. The Board of Directors, including a majority of the
Independent Directors, may not approve a new fee structure that, in its
judgment, is more favorable to the Advisor than the current fee structure.
The Advisory Agreement, which was entered into by the Company with the
unanimous approval of the Board of Directors, including the Independent
Directors, expires one year after the date of execution, on ______, 1997,
subject to successive one-year renewals upon mutual consent of the parties. In
the event that a new Advisor is retained, the previous Advisor will cooperate
with the Company and the Directors in effecting an orderly transition of the
advisory functions. The Board of Directors (including a majority of the
Independent Directors) shall approve a successor Advisor only upon a
determination that the Advisor possesses sufficient qualifications to perform
the advisory functions for the Company and that the compensation to be received
by the new Advisor pursuant to the new Advisory Agreement is justified.
The Advisory Agreement may be terminated without cause or penalty by
either party, or by the mutual consent of the parties (by a majority of the
Independent Directors of the Company or a majority of the directors of the
Advisor, as the case may be), upon 60 days' prior written notice. At that time,
the Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Performance Fee if performance
standards satisfactory to a majority of the Board of Directors, including a
majority of the Independent Directors, when compared to (a) the performance of
the Advisor in comparison with its performance for other entities, and (b) the
performance of other advisors for similar entities, have been met. If Listing
has not occurred, the Performance Fee, if any, shall equal 10% of the amount, if
any, by which (i) the appraised value of the assets of the Company on the date
of termination of the Advisory Agreement (the "Termination Date"), less the
amount of all indebtedness secured by the assets of the Company, plus the total
Distributions made to stockholders from the Company's inception through the
Termination Date, exceeds (ii) Invested Capital plus an amount equal to the
Stockholders' 8% Return from inception through the Termination Date. The Advisor
shall be entitled to receive all accrued but unpaid compensation and expense
reimbursements in cash within 30 days of the Termination Date. All other amounts
payable to the Advisor in the event of a termination shall be evidenced by a
promissory note and shall be payable from time to time. The Performance Fee
shall be paid in 12 equal quarterly installments without interest on the unpaid
balance, provided, however, that no payment will be made in any quarter in which
such payment would jeopardize the Company's REIT status, in which case any such
payment or payments will be delayed until the next quarter in which payment
would not jeopardize REIT status. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any
amounts which may be deemed payable at the date the obligation to pay the
Performance Fee is incurred which relate to the appreciation of the Company's
assets shall be an amount which provides compensation to the terminated Advisor
only for that portion of the holding period for the respective assets during
which such terminated Advisor provided services to the Company. If Listing
occurs, the Performance Fee, if any, payable thereafter will be as negotiated
between the Company and the Advisor. The Advisor shall not be entitled to
payment of the Performance Fee in the event the Advisory Agreement is terminated
-61-
<PAGE>
because of failure of the Company and the Advisor to establish a fee structure
appropriate for a perpetual-life entity at such time, if any, as the Shares
become listed on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter market. The
Performance Fee, to the extent payable at the time of Listing, will not be paid
in the event that the Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid.
The Advisor has the right to assign the Advisory Agreement to an
Affiliate subject to approval by the Independent Directors of the Company. The
Company has the right to assign the Advisory Agreement to any successor to all
of its assets, rights, and obligations.
The Advisor will not be liable to the Company or its stockholders or
others, except by reason of acts constituting bad faith, fraud, misconduct, or
negligence, and will not be responsible for any action of the Board of Directors
in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by it.
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Advisor with respect to acts or
omissions of the Advisor undertaken in good faith, in accordance with the
foregoing standards and pursuant to the authority set forth in the Advisory
Agreement. Any indemnification made to the Advisor may be made only out of the
net assets of the Company and not from stockholders.
PRIOR PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The information presented in this section represents the historical
experience of certain real estate programs organized by certain officers and
directors of the Advisor. INVESTORS IN THE COMPANY SHOULD NOT ASSUME THAT THEY
WILL EXPERIENCE RETURNS, IF ANY, COMPARABLE TO THOSE EXPERIENCED BY INVESTORS IN
SUCH PRIOR REAL ESTATE PROGRAMS. INVESTORS WHO PURCHASE SHARES IN THE COMPANY
WILL NOT THEREBY ACQUIRE ANY OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN ANY PARTNERSHIPS TO WHICH THE
FOLLOWING INFORMATION RELATES.
Two Directors of the Company, Robert A. Bourne and James M. Seneff, Jr.,
individually or with others have served as general partners of 78 and 79 real
estate limited partnerships, respectively, including the 17 publicly offered CNL
Income Fund partnerships, and as directors and officers of an unlisted public
REIT, which purchased properties similar to those to be acquired by the Company,
listed in the table below. None of these limited partnerships or the unlisted
REIT has been audited by the IRS. Of course, there is no guarantee that the
Company will not be audited. Based on an analysis of the operating results of
the prior partnerships, the general partners of these partnerships believe that
each of such partnerships has met or is meeting its principal investment
objectives in a timely manner.
CNL Realty Corporation, which was organized as a Florida corporation in
November 1985 and whose sole stockholders are Messrs. Bourne and Seneff,
currently serves as the corporate general partner with Messrs. Bourne and Seneff
as individual general partners of 17 CNL Income Fund limited partnerships, all
of which were organized to invest in fast-food and family-style restaurant
properties similar to those that the Company intends to acquire and have
investment objectives similar to those of the Company. In addition, Messrs.
Bourne and Seneff currently serve as directors and officers of CNL American
Properties Fund, Inc., an unlisted public REIT, which was organized to invest in
fast-food, family-style and casual-dining restaurant properties, mortgage loans
and secured equipment leases similar to those that the Company intends to invest
in and has investment objectives similar to those of the Company. As of December
31, 1995, these 17 partnerships and the unlisted REIT had raised a total of
$594,151,079 from a total of 48,628 investors, and had invested in 646
fast-food, family-style and casual-dining restaurant properties.
As of December 31, 1995, offerings by 16 of the 17 CNL public
partnerships had been completed and these public partnerships had made cash
distributions to limited partners totalling $208,798,030 (representing
annualized cash distributions to limited partners in amounts equal to from 4.5%
to 10% of invested capital). An average of approximately 7.4% (ranging from zero
to 21.6%) of the cumulative cash distributions to limited partners from these
partnerships constituted cash distributions that exceeded accumulated net income
on a GAAP basis, primarily as the result of depreciation deductions. Accumulated
net income includes deductions for depreciation and amortization expense and
income from certain non-cash items. The partnerships do not treat these amounts,
which are presented as a "return of capital on a GAAP basis" in Table III of the
Prior Performance Tables included in Exhibit C, as
-62-
<PAGE>
a return of capital for any other purpose. Certain additional information
relating to the offerings and investment history of the 17 public partnerships
and the unlisted public REIT is set forth below.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
GENERAL
The Company's primary investment objectives are to preserve, protect,
and enhance the Company's assets while (i) making Distributions commencing in
the initial year of Company operations; (ii) obtaining fixed income through the
receipt of base rent, and increasing the Company's income (and Distributions)
and providing protection against inflation through automatic increases in base
rent and receipt of percentage rent, and obtaining fixed income through the
receipt of payments on Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases; (iii)
qualifying and remaining qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes;
and (iv) providing stockholders of the Company with liquidity of their
investment, either in whole or in part, within five to ten years after
commencement of the offering, through (a) Listing, or, (b) if Listing does not
occur within ten years after commencement of the offering, the commencement of
orderly Sales of the Company's assets, outside the ordinary course of business
and consistent with its objective of qualifying as a REIT, and distribution of
the proceeds thereof. The sheltering from tax of income from other sources is
not an objective of the Company. If the Company is successful in achieving its
investment and operating objectives, the stockholders (other than tax-exempt
entities) are likely to recognize taxable income in each year. While there is no
order of priority intended in the listing of the Company's objectives,
stockholders should realize that the ability of the Company to meet these
objectives may be severely handicapped by any lack of diversification of the
Company's investments and the terms of the leases.
The Company intends to meet its objectives through its investment
policies of (i) purchasing carefully selected, well-located Properties and
leasing them on a "triple-net" basis (which means that the tenant will be
responsible for paying the cost of all repairs, maintenance, property taxes, and
insurance) to creditworthy operators of Restaurant Chains and other businesses
under leases generally requiring the tenant to pay both base annual rental
(including automatic increases in base rent) and percentage rent based on gross
sales, and (ii) offering Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases to
operators of Restaurant Chains and other businesses.
In accordance with its investment policies, the Company intends to
invest its assets in Properties whose tenants are franchisors or franchisees of
one of the Restaurant Chains or other businesses to be selected by the Company,
based upon recommendations by the Advisor. Although there is no limit on the
number of properties of a particular Restaurant Chain or other business which
the Company may acquire, the Company currently does not expect to invest more
than 25% of the Gross Proceeds in Properties of any one Restaurant Chain or
other business or to invest more than 30% of the Gross Proceeds in Properties
located in any one state. Potential Mortgage Loan borrowers and Secured
Equipment Lease lessees will similarly be operators of Restaurant Chains and
other businesses selected by the Company, following the Advisor's
recommendations. The Company has undertaken, consistent with its objective of
qualifying as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, to ensure that the value
of all Secured Equipment Leases, in the aggregate, will not exceed 25% of the
Company's total assets, while Secured Equipment Leases to any single lessee, in
the aggregate, will not exceed 5% of the Company's total assets. It is intended
that investments will be made in Properties, Mortgage Loans and Secured
Equipment Leases in various locations in an attempt to achieve diversification
and thereby minimize the effect of changes in local economic conditions and
certain other risks. The extent of such diversification, however, depends in
part upon the amount
-67-
<PAGE>
raised in the offering. See "Estimated Use of Proceeds" and "Risk Factors --
Investment Risks -- Possible Lack of Diversification." For a more complete
description of the manner in which the structure of the Company's business,
including its investment policies, will facilitate the Company's ability to meet
its investment objectives, See "Business."
The investment objectives of the Company may not be changed without the
approval of stockholders owning a majority of the shares of outstanding Common
Stock. The Bylaws of the Company require the Independent Directors to review the
Company's investment policies at least annually to determine that the policies
are in the best interests of the stockholders. The determination shall be set
forth in the minutes of the Board of Directors along with the basis for such
determination. The Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors)
have the right, without a stockholder vote, to alter the Company's investment
policies but only to the extent consistent with the Company's investment
objectives and investment limitations. See "Certain Investment Limitations,"
below.
CERTAIN INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
In addition to other investment restrictions imposed by the Directors
from time to time, consistent with the Company's objective of qualifying as a
REIT, the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws provide for the following
limitations on the Company's investments.
1. Not more than 10% of the Company's total assets shall be invested in
unimproved real property or mortgage loans on unimproved real property. For
purposes of this paragraph, "unimproved real property" does not include any
Property under construction, under contract for development or planned for
development within one year.
2. The Company shall not invest in commodities or commodity future
contracts. This limitation is not intended to apply to interest rate futures,
when used solely for hedging purposes.
3. The Company shall not invest in or make mortgage loans unless an
appraisal is obtained concerning the underlying property. Mortgage indebtedness
on any property shall not exceed such property's appraised value. In cases in
which the majority of Independent Directors so determine, and in all cases in
which the mortgage loan involves the Advisor, Directors, or Affiliates, such
appraisal must be obtained from an independent expert concerning the underlying
property. Such appraisal shall be maintained in the Company's records for at
least five years, and shall be available for inspection and duplication by any
stockholder. In addition to the appraisal, a mortgagee's or owner's title
insurance policy or commitment as to the priority of the mortgage or condition
of the title must be obtained. The Company may not invest in real estate
contracts of sale otherwise known as land sale contracts.
4. The Company may not make or invest in mortgage loans, including
construction loans, on any one Property if the aggregate amount of all mortgage
loans outstanding on the Property, including the loans of the Company, would
exceed an amount equal to 85% of the appraised value of the Property as
determined by appraisal unless substantial justification exists because of the
presence of other underwriting criteria. For purposes of this subsection, the
"aggregate amount of all mortgage loans outstanding on the Property, including
the loans of the Company" shall include all interest (excluding contingent
participation in income and/or appreciation in value of the mortgaged property),
the current payment of which may be deferred pursuant to the terms of such
loans, to the extent that deferred interest on each loan exceeds 5% per annum of
the principal balance of the loan.
5. The Company may not make or invest in any mortgage loans that are
subordinate to any mortgage, other indebtedness or equity interest of the
Advisor, the Directors, or their Affiliates.
6. The Company will not invest in equity securities unless a majority of
the Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise
interested in such transaction approve the transaction as being fair,
competitive, and commercially reasonable and determine that the transaction will
not jeopardize the Company's ability to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT.
Investments in entities affiliated with the Advisor, a Director, the Company, or
Affiliates thereof are subject to the restrictions on joint venture investments.
In addition, the Company shall not invest in any security of any entity holding
investments or engage in activities prohibited by the Company's Articles of
Incorporation.
-68-
<PAGE>
7. The Company will not issue (i) equity securities redeemable solely at
the option of the holder (except that stockholders may offer their Shares to the
Company as described under "Redemption of Shares,"); (ii) debt securities unless
the historical debt service coverage (in the most recently completed fiscal
year), as adjusted for known charges, is sufficient to service that higher level
of debt properly; (iii) Shares on a deferred payment basis or under similar
arrangements; (iv) non-voting or assessable securities; or (v) options,
warrants, or similar evidences of a right to buy its securities (collectively,
"Options") unless (1) issued to all of its stockholders ratably, (2) as part of
a financing arrangement, or (3) as part of a stock option plan available to
Directors, officers, or employees of the Company or the Advisor. Options may not
be issued to the Advisor, Directors or any Affiliate thereof except on the same
terms as such Options are sold to the general public. Options may be issued to
persons other than the Advisor, Directors or any Affiliate thereof but not at
exercise prices less than the fair market value of the underlying securities on
the date of grant and not for consideration that in the judgment of the
Independent Directors has a market value less than the value of such Option on
the date of grant. Options issuable to the Advisor, Directors or any Affiliate
thereof shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding Shares on the date of grant.
8. A majority of the Directors shall authorize the consideration to be
paid for each Property, based on the fair market value of the Property. If a
majority of the Independent Directors determine, or if the Property is acquired
from the Advisor, a Director, or Affiliates thereof, such fair market value
shall be determined by a qualified independent real estate appraiser selected by
the Independent Directors.
9. The Company will not engage in underwriting or the agency
distribution of securities issued by others or in trading, as compared to
investment activities.
10. The Company will not invest in real estate contracts of sale unless
such contracts of sale are in recordable form and appropriately recorded in the
chain of title.
11. The Company will not invest in any foreign currency or bullion or
engage in short sales.
12. The Company will not issue senior securities except notes to banks
and other lenders and preferred shares.
13. The Company will not make loans to the Advisor or its Affiliates.
14. The Company will not operate so as to be classified as an
"investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
15. The Company will not make any investment that the Company believes
will be inconsistent with its objective of qualifying as a REIT.
The foregoing limitations may not be modified or eliminated without the
approval of a majority of the shares of outstanding Common Stock.
DISTRIBUTION POLICY
GENERAL
In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, among
other things, the Company must make distributions each taxable year (not
including any return of capital for federal income tax purposes) equal to at
least 95% of its real estate investment trust taxable income, although the Board
of Directors, in its discretion, may increase that percentage as it deems
appropriate. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Taxation of the Company
- -- Distribution Requirements." The declaration of Distributions is within the
discretion of the Board of Directors and depends upon the Company's
distributable funds, current and projected cash requirements, tax considerations
and other factors.
-69-
<PAGE>
DISTRIBUTIONS
The Company intends to make regular Distributions to stockholders. To
the extent consistent with the Company's objective of qualifying as a REIT, it
is anticipated that the first Distributions will be paid not later than the
close of the first full calendar quarter after the first release of funds from
escrow to the Company. Distributions will be made to those stockholders who are
stockholders as of the record date selected by the Directors. Distributions will
be declared monthly and paid on a quarterly basis during the offering period and
declared and paid quarterly thereafter. The Company is required to distribute
annually at least 95% of its real estate investment trust taxable income to
maintain its objective of qualifying as a REIT. Generally, income distributed
will not be taxable to the Company under federal income tax laws if the Company
complies with the provisions relating to qualification as a REIT. If the cash
available to the Company is insufficient to pay such Distributions, the Company
may obtain the necessary funds by borrowing, issuing new securities, or selling
assets. These methods of obtaining funds could affect future Distributions by
increasing operating costs. To the extent that Distributions to stockholders
exceed earnings and profits, such amounts constitute a return capital for
federal income tax purposes, although such Distributions will not reduce
stockholders' aggregate Invested Capital.
Distributions will be made at the discretion of the Directors, depending
primarily on net cash from operations (which includes cash received from tenants
except to the extent that such cash represents a return of principal in regard
to the lease of a Property consisting of building only, distributions from joint
ventures, and interest income from lessees of Equipment and borrowers under
Mortgage Loans, less expenses paid) and the general financial condition of the
Company, subject to the obligation of the Directors to cause the Company to
qualify and remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. The
Company intends to increase Distributions in accordance with increases in net
cash from operations.
SUMMARY OF THE
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
GENERAL
The Company is organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of
Maryland. As a Maryland corporation, the Company is governed by the Maryland
General Corporation Law. Maryland corporate law deals with a variety of matters
regarding Maryland corporations, including liabilities of the Company,
stockholders, directors, and officers, the amendment of the Articles of
Incorporation, and mergers of a Maryland corporation with other entities. Since
many matters are not addressed by Maryland corporate law, it is customary for a
Maryland corporation to address these matters through provisions in its Articles
of Incorporation.
The Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company contain
certain provisions that could make it more difficult to acquire control of the
Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest, or otherwise. These
provisions are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover
practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to
acquire control of the Company to negotiate first with its Board of Directors.
The Company believes that these provisions increase the likelihood that
proposals initially will be on more attractive terms than would be the case in
their absence and facilitate negotiations which may result in improvement of the
terms of an initial offer.
The Articles of Incorporation also permit Listing by the Board of
Directors after completion or termination of the offering.
The discussion set forth below does not purport to be complete and is
subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Maryland General
Corporation Law, the guidelines for REITs published by the North American
Securities Administrators Association, the Company's Articles of Incorporation,
and its Bylaws.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The Company has authorized a total of 126,000,000 shares of capital
stock, consisting of 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per
share, 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"), and 63,000,000
additional shares of excess stock ("Excess Shares"), $.01 par value per share.
Of the 63,000,000 Excess Shares, 60,000,000 are issuable in exchange for Common
Stock and 3,000,000 are issuable in exchange for Preferred Stock as described
below at "-- Restriction of Ownership." The Company currently has 20,000 shares
of Common Stock outstanding and no Preferred Stock or Excess Shares outstanding.
The Company will not issue share certificates. Each stockholder's investment
will be recorded on the books of the Company, and information concerning the
restrictions and rights attributable to Shares (whether in connection with an
initial issuance or a transfer) will be sent to the stockholder receiving Shares
in connection with an issuance or transfer. A stockholder wishing to transfer
his or her Shares will be required to send only an executed form to the Company,
and the Company will provide the required form upon a stockholder's request. The
executed form and any other required documentation must be received by the
Company at least one calendar month prior to the last date of the current
quarter. Subject to restrictions in the Articles of Incorporation, transfers of
Shares shall be effective, and the transferee of the Shares will be recognized
as the holder of such Shares as of the first day of the following quarter on
which the Company receives properly executed documentation. Stockholders who are
residents of New York may not transfer fewer than 250 shares at any time.
Stockholders have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for
securities that the Company may issue subsequently. Each Share is entitled to
one vote per Share, and Shares do not have cumulative voting rights. The
Stockholders are entitled to Distributions in such amounts as may be declared by
the Board of Directors from time to time out of funds legally available for such
payments and, in the event of liquidation, to share ratably in any assets of the
Company remaining after payment in full of all creditors.
All of the Shares offered hereby will be fully paid and nonassessable
when issued.
The Articles of Incorporation authorize the Board of Directors to
designate and issue from time to time one or more classes or series of Preferred
Shares without stockholder approval. The Board of Directors may determine the
relative rights, preferences, and privileges of each class or series of
Preferred Stock so issued. Because the Board of Directors has the power to
establish the preferences and rights of each class or series of Preferred Stock,
it may afford the holders of any series or class of Preferred Stock preferences,
powers, and rights senior to the rights of holders of Common Stock; however, the
voting rights for each share of Preferred Stock shall not exceed voting rights
which bear the same relationship to the voting rights of the Shares as the
consideration paid to the Company for each share of Preferred Stock bears to the
book value of the Shares on the date that such Preferred Stock is issued. The
issuance of Preferred Stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a
change in control of the Company. The Board of Directors has no present plans to
issue any Preferred Stock.
For a description of the characteristics of the Excess Shares, which
differ from Common Stock and Preferred Stock in a number of respects, including
voting and economic rights, see "Restriction of Ownership," below.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Articles of Incorporation provide that the number of Directors of
the Company cannot be less than three nor more than 15. A majority of the Board
of Directors will be Independent Directors. See "Management -- Independent
Directors." Each Director, other than a Director elected to fill the unexpired
term of another Director, will be elected at each annual meeting or at any
special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose, by a majority of
the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote.
Independent Directors will nominate replacements for vacancies among the
Independent Directors. Under the Articles of Incorporation, the term of office
for each Director will be one year, expiring each annual meeting of
stockholders; however, nothing in the Articles of Incorporation prohibits a
director from being reelected by the stockholders. The Directors may not (a)
amend the Articles of Incorporation, except for amendments which do not
adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of stockholders; (b)
sell all or substantially all of the Company's assets other than in the ordinary
course of business or in connection with liquidation and dissolution; (c) cause
the merger or other reorganization of the Company; or (d) dissolve or liquidate
the Company, other than
-71-
<PAGE>
before the initial investment in property. The Directors may establish such
committees as they deem appropriate (provided that the majority of the members
of each committee are Independent Directors).
STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS
An annual meeting will be held for the purpose of electing Directors and
for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting, and
will be held not less than 30 days after delivery of the annual report. Under
the Company's Bylaws, a special meeting of stockholders may be called by the
chief executive officer, a majority of the Directors, or a majority of the
Independent Directors. Special meetings of the stockholders also shall be called
by an officer of the Company upon the written request of stockholders holding in
the aggregate not less than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote
at such meeting. Upon receipt of such a written request, either in person or by
mail, stating the purpose or purposes of the meeting, the Company shall provide
all stockholders, within ten days of receipt of the written request, written
notice, either in person or by mail, of a meeting and its purpose. Such meeting
will be held not less than fifteen nor more than sixty days after distribution
of the notice, at a time and place specified in the request, or if none is
specified, at a time and place convenient to stockholders.
At any meeting of stockholders, each stockholder is entitled to one vote
per share of Common Stock owned of record on the applicable record date. In
general, the presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the shares of
Common Stock shall constitute a quorum, and the majority vote of the shares of
Common Stock present in person or by proxy will be binding on all the
stockholders of the Company.
ADVANCE NOTICE FOR STOCKHOLDER NOMINATIONS FOR
DIRECTORS AND PROPOSALS OF NEW BUSINESS
The Bylaws of the Company require notice at least 60 days and not more
than 90 days before the anniversary of the prior annual meeting of stockholders
in order for a stockholder to (a) nominate a Director, or (b) propose new
business other than pursuant to the notice of the meeting or by or on behalf of
the Directors. The Bylaws contain a similar notice requirement in connection
with nominations for Directors at a special meeting of stockholders called for
the purpose of electing one or more Directors. Accordingly, failure to comply
with the notice provisions will make stockholders unable to nominate Directors
or propose new business.
AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
Pursuant to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Directors can
amend the Articles of Incorporation by a two-thirds majority from time to time
if necessary in order to qualify initially or in order to continue to qualify as
a REIT. Except as set forth above, the Articles of Incorporation may be amended
only by the affirmative vote of a majority, and, in some cases a two-thirds
majority, of the shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. The
stockholders may vote to amend the Articles of Incorporation, terminate or
dissolve the Company or remove one or more Directors without necessity for
concurrence by the Board of Directors.
MERGERS, COMBINATIONS, AND SALE OF ASSETS
A merger, combination, sale, or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets other than in the ordinary course of
business must be approved by the Directors and a majority of the shares of
Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. In addition, any such transaction
involving an Affiliate of the Company or the Advisor also must be approved by a
majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors)
not otherwise interested in such transaction as fair and reasonable to the
Company and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company than those
available from unaffiliated third parties.
TERMINATION OF THE COMPANY AND REIT STATUS
The Articles of Incorporation provide for the voluntary termination and
dissolution of the Company by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting called for that
purpose. In addition, the Articles of Incorporation permit the stockholders to
terminate the status of the
-72-
<PAGE>
Company as a REIT under the Code by a majority vote of the shares of Common
Stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
Under the Articles of Incorporation, the Company automatically will
terminate and dissolve on December 31, 2006, unless Listing occurs, in which
event the Company automatically will become a perpetual life entity.
RESTRICTION OF OWNERSHIP
To qualify as a REIT under the Code (i) not more than 50% of the value
of the REIT's outstanding stock may be owned, directly or indirectly (applying
certain attribution rules), by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code
to include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year, (ii) the
REIT's stock must be beneficially owned (without reference to any attribution
rules) by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12
months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year; and (iii)
certain other requirements must be satisfied. See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations -- Taxation of the Company."
To ensure that the Company satisfies these requirements, the Articles of
Incorporation restrict the direct or indirect ownership (applying certain
attribution rules) of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock by any Person
(as defined in the Articles of Incorporation) to no more than 9.8% of the
outstanding shares of such Common Stock or 9.8% of any series of Preferred
Shares (the "Ownership Limit"). However, the Articles of Incorporation provide
that this Ownership Limit may be modified, either entirely or with respect to
one or more Persons, by a vote of a majority of the Directors, if such
modification does not jeopardize the Company's status as a REIT. As a condition
of such modification, the Board of Directors may require opinions of counsel
satisfactory to it and/or an undertaking from the applicant with respect to
preserving the status of the Company as a REIT.
It is the responsibility of each Person (as defined in the Articles of
Incorporation) owning (or deemed to own) more than 5% of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock or any series of outstanding Preferred Stock to give the Company
written notice of such ownership. In addition, to the extent deemed necessary by
the Directors, the Company can demand that each stockholder disclose to the
Company in writing all information regarding the Beneficial and Constructive
Ownership (as such terms are defined in the Articles of Incorporation) of the
Common Stock and Preferred Stock.
If the ownership, transfer or acquisition of shares of Common or
Preferred Stock, or change in capital structure of the Company or other event or
transaction would result in (i) any Person owning (applying certain attribution
rules) Common Stock or Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, (ii)
fewer than 100 Persons owning the Common Stock and Preferred Stock, (iii) the
Company being "closely held" within the meaning of section 856(h) of the Code,
or (iv) the Company failing any of the gross income requirements of section
856(c) of the Code or otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, then the
ownership, transfer, or acquisition, or change in capital structure or other
event or transaction that would have such effect will be void as to the
purported transferee or owner, and the purported transferee or owner will not
have or acquire any rights to the Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock, as the
case may be, to the extent required to avoid such a result. Common Stock or
Preferred Stock owned, transferred or proposed to be transferred in excess of
the Ownership Limit or which would otherwise jeopardize the Company's status as
a REIT will automatically be converted to Excess Shares. A holder of Excess
Shares is not entitled to Distributions, voting rights, and other benefits with
respect to such shares except for the right to payment of the purchase price for
the shares (or, in the case of a devise or gift or similar event which results
in the issuance of Excess Shares, the fair market value at the time of such
devise or gift or event) and the right to certain distributions upon
liquidation. Any Distribution paid to a proposed transferee or holder of Excess
Shares shall be repaid to the Company upon demand. Excess Shares shall be
subject to repurchase by the Company at its election. The purchase price of any
Excess Shares shall be equal to the lesser of (a) the price paid in such
purported transaction (or, in the case of a devise or gift or similar event
resulting in the issuance of Excess Shares, the fair market value at the time of
such devise or gift or event), or (b) the fair market value of such Shares on
the date on which the Company or its designee determines to exercise its
repurchase right. If the foregoing transfer restrictions are determined to be
void or invalid by virtue of any legal decision, statute, rule or regulation,
then the purported transferee of any Excess Shares may be deemed, at the option
of the Company, to have acted as an agent on behalf of the Company in acquiring
such Excess Shares and to hold such Excess Shares on behalf of the Company.
-73-
<PAGE>
For purposes of the Articles of Incorporation, the term "Person" shall
mean an individual, corporation, partnership, estate, trust (including a trust
qualified under Section 401(a) or 501(c)(17) of the Code), a portion of a trust
permanently set aside to be used exclusively for the purposes described in
Section 642(c) of the Code, association, private foundation within the meaning
of Section 509(a) of the Code, joint stock company or other entity, or a group
as that term is used for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended; but does not include (i) CNL Fund Advisors, Inc.,
during the period ending on December 31, 1996, or (ii) an underwriter which
participated in a public offering of Shares for a period of sixty (60) days
following the purchase by such underwriter of Shares therein, provided that the
foregoing exclusions shall apply only if the ownership of such Shares by CNL
Fund Advisors, Inc. or an underwriter would not cause the Company to fail to
qualify as a REIT by reason of being "closely held" within the meaning of
Section 856(a) of the code or otherwise cause the Company to fail to qualify as
a REIT.
RESPONSIBILITY OF DIRECTORS
Directors serve in a fiduciary capacity and shall have a fiduciary duty
to the stockholders of the Company, which duty shall include a duty to supervise
the relationship of the Company with the Advisor. See "Management -- Fiduciary
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors."
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
Pursuant to Maryland corporate law and the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, the Company is required to indemnify and hold harmless a present
or former Director, officer, Advisor, or Affiliate and may indemnify and hold
harmless a present or former employee or agent of the Company (the "Indemnitee")
against any or all losses or liabilities reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee
in connection with or by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted to
be performed on behalf of the Company while a Director, officer, Advisor,
Affiliate, employee, or agent and in such capacity, provided, that the
Indemnitee has determined, in good faith, that the act or omission which caused
the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company. The Company will
not indemnify or hold harmless the Indemnitee if: (i) the loss or liability was
the result of negligence or misconduct, or if the Indemnitee is an Independent
Director, the loss or liability was the result of gross negligence or willful
misconduct, (ii) the act or omission was material to the loss or liability and
was committed in bad faith or was the result of active or deliberate dishonesty,
(iii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money,
property, or services, (iv) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the
Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was
unlawful, or (v) in a proceeding by or in the right of the Company, the
Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company. In addition,
the Company will not provide indemnification for any loss or liability arising
from an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless one or more
of the following conditions are met: (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 violations of securities laws.
Pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation, the Company is required to pay or
reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by a present or former Director, officer,
Advisor or Affiliate and may pay or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by
any other Indemnitee in advance of final disposition of a proceeding if the
following are satisfied: (i) the Indemnitee was made a party to the proceeding
by reasons of his or her service as a Director, officer, Advisor, Affiliate,
employee or agent of the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee provides the Company with
written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the
standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized
by the Articles of Incorporation, (iii) the Indemnitee provides the Company with
a written agreement to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company,
together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately
determined that the Indemnitee did not comply with the requisite standard of
conduct, and (iv) the legal proceeding was initiated by a third party who is not
a stockholder or, if by a stockholder of the Company acting in his or her
capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation further provide that any
indemnification, payment, or reimbursement of the expenses permitted by the
Articles of Incorporation will be furnished in accordance with the procedures in
Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law.
-74-
<PAGE>
Any indemnification may be paid only out of Net Assets of the Company,
and no portion may be recoverable from the stockholders.
There are certain defenses under Maryland law available to the
Directors, officers and the Advisor in the event of a stockholder action against
them. One such defense is the "business judgment rule." A Director, officer or
the Advisor can argue that he or she performed the action giving rise to the
stockholder's action in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed
to be in the best interests of the Company, and with such care as an ordinarily
prudent person in a like position would have used under similar circumstances.
The Directors, officers and the Advisor are also entitled to rely on
information, opinions, reports or records prepared by experts (including
accountants, consultants, counsel, etc.) who were selected with reasonable care.
However, the Directors, officers and the Advisor may not invoke the business
judgment rule to further limit the rights of the stockholders to access records
as provided in the Articles of Incorporation.
The Company will enter into indemnification agreements with each of the
Company's officers and Directors. The indemnification agreements will require,
among other things, that the Company indemnify its officers and Directors to the
fullest extent permitted by law, and advance to the officers and Directors all
related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that
indemnification is not permitted. In accordance with this agreement, the Company
must indemnify and advance all expenses reasonably incurred by officers and
Directors seeking to enforce their rights under the indemnification agreements.
The Company also must cover officers and Directors under the Company's
directors' and officers' liability insurance. Although these indemnification
agreements offer substantially the same scope of coverage afforded by the
indemnification provisions in the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws, it
provides greater assurance to Directors and officers that indemnification will
be available because these contracts cannot be modified unilaterally by the
Board of Directors or by the stockholders.
REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS
Under the Articles of Incorporation, a Director may resign or be removed
with or without cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of the capital stock
of the Company outstanding and entitled to vote.
INSPECTION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS
The Advisor will keep, or cause to be kept, on behalf of the Company,
full and true books of account on an accrual basis of accounting, in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. All of such books of account,
together with all other records of the Company, including a copy of the Articles
of Incorporation and any amendments thereto, will at all times be maintained at
the principal office of the Company, and will be open to inspection,
examination, and, for a reasonable charge, duplication upon reasonable notice
and during normal business hours by a stockholder or his agent.
As a part of its books and records, the Company will maintain at its
principal office an alphabetical list of names of stockholders, along with their
addresses and telephone numbers and the number of Shares held by each
stockholder. Such list shall be updated at least quarterly and shall be
available for inspection at the Company's home office by a stockholder or his or
her designated agent upon such stockholder's request. Such list also shall be
mailed to any stockholder requesting the list within 10 days of a request. The
Company may require the stockholder requesting the stockholder list to represent
that he or she will not make any commercial distribution of such list or the
information disclosed through such inspection and will not furnish the list to
any third party except as necessary in connection with the voting rights of the
stockholders and the rights of the stockholders under federal proxy laws. The
Company may impose a reasonable charge for expenses incurred in reproducing such
list. The list may not be sold or used for commercial purposes.
RESTRICTIONS ON "ROLL-UP" TRANSACTIONS
In connection with a proposed Roll-Up Transaction, which, in general
terms, is any transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion, or
consolidation, directly or indirectly, of the Company and the issuance of
securities of a Roll-Up Entity that would be created or would survive after the
successful completion of the Roll-Up Transaction, an appraisal of all Properties
shall be obtained from an Independent Expert. In order to qualify as an
-75-
<PAGE>
Independent Expert for this purpose(s), the person or entity shall have no
material current or prior business or personal relationship with the Advisor or
Directors and shall be engaged to a substantial extent in the business of
rendering opinions regarding the value of assets of the type held by the
Company. The Properties shall be appraised on a consistent basis, and the
appraisal shall be based on the evaluation of all relevant information and shall
indicate the value of the Properties as of a date immediately prior to the
announcement of the proposed Roll-Up Transaction. The appraisal shall assume an
orderly liquidation of Properties over a 12-month period. The terms of the
engagement of such Independent Expert shall clearly state that the engagement is
for the benefit of the Company and the stockholders. A summary of the
independent appraisal, indicating all material assumptions underlying the
appraisal, shall be included in a report to stockholders in connection with a
proposed Roll-Up Transaction. In connection with a proposed Roll-Up Transaction
which has not been approved by at least two-thirds of the stockholders, the
person sponsoring the Roll-Up Transaction shall offer to stockholders who vote
against the proposal the choice of:
(i) accepting the securities of the Roll-Up Entity offered in the
proposed Roll-Up Transaction; or
(ii) one of the following:
(A) remaining stockholders of the Company and preserving their
interests therein on the same terms and conditions as existed
previously; or
(B) receiving cash in an amount equal to the stockholder's pro
rata share of the appraised value of the net assets of the Company.
The Company is prohibited from participating in any proposed Roll-Up
Transaction:
(i) which would result in the stockholders having democracy rights in
the Roll-Up Entity that are less than those provided in the Company's Articles
of Incorporation, Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6 and 9.1 and described
elsewhere in this Prospectus, including rights with respect to the election and
removal of Directors, annual reports, annual and special meetings, amendment of
the Articles of Incorporation, and dissolution of the Company. (See "Description
of Capital Stock" and "Stockholder Meetings," above);
(ii) which includes provisions that would operate as a material
impediment to, or frustration of, the accumulation of shares by any purchaser of
the securities of the Roll-Up Entity (except to the minimum extent necessary to
preserve the tax status of the Roll-Up Entity), or which would limit the ability
of an investor to exercise the voting rights of its securities of the Roll-Up
Entity on the basis of the number of shares held by that investor;
(iii) in which investor's rights to access of records of the Roll-Up
Entity will be less than those provided in Sections 8.4 and 8.5 of the Company's
Articles of Incorporation and described in "Inspection of Books and Records,"
above; or
(iv) in which any of the costs of the Roll-Up Transaction would be borne
by the Company if the Roll-Up Transaction is not approved by the stockholders.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following is a summary of the material federal income tax
consequences of the ownership of Shares of the Company, prepared by Shaw,
Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge, as Counsel. This discussion is based upon the laws,
regulations, and reported judicial and administrative rulings and decisions in
effect as of the date of this Prospectus, all of which are subject to change,
retroactively or prospectively, and to possibly differing interpretations. This
discussion does not purport to deal with the federal income or other tax
consequences applicable to all investors in light of their particular investment
or other circumstances, or to all categories of investors, some of whom may be
subject to special rules (including, for example, insurance companies,
tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, broker-dealers, foreign
corporations and persons who are not citizens or
-76-
<PAGE>
residents of the United States). No ruling on the federal, state or local tax
considerations relevant to the operation of the Company, or to the purchase,
ownership or disposition of the Shares, has been requested from the Internal
Revenue Service (the "IRS" or the "Service") or other tax authority. Counsel has
rendered certain opinions discussed herein and believes that if the Service were
to challenge the conclusions of Counsel, such conclusions should prevail in
court. However, opinions of counsel are not binding on the Service or on the
courts, and no assurance can be given that the conclusions reached by Counsel
would be sustained in court. Prospective investors should consult their own tax
advisors in determining the federal, state, local, foreign and other tax
consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Shares of
the Company, the tax treatment of a REIT and the effect of potential changes in
applicable tax laws.
TAXATION OF THE COMPANY
General. The Company expects to elect to be taxed as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes, as defined in Sections 856 through 860 of the Code,
commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 1996. The Company believes
that it will be organized and will operate in such a manner as to qualify as a
REIT, and the Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner, but no
assurance can be given that it will operate in a manner so as to qualify or
remain qualified as a REIT. The provisions of the Code pertaining to REITs are
highly technical and complex. Accordingly, this summary is qualified in its
entirety by the applicable Code sections, rules and regulations issued
thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof.
If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it generally will not
be subject to federal corporate income tax on its net income that is currently
distributed to holders of Shares. This treatment substantially eliminates the
"double taxation" (at the corporate and stockholder levels) that generally
results from an investment in a corporation. However, the Company will be
subject to federal income tax in the following circumstances. First, the Company
will be taxed at regular corporate rates on any undistributed real estate
investment trust taxable income, including undistributed net capital gains.
Second, under certain circumstances, the Company may be subject to the
alternative minimum tax on its items of tax preference. Third, if the Company
has net income from foreclosure property, it will be subject to tax on such
income at the highest corporate rate. Foreclosure property generally means real
property (and any personal property incident to such real property) which is
acquired as a result of a default either on a lease of such property or on
indebtedness which such property secured and with respect to which an
appropriate election is made. Fourth, if the Company has net income derived from
prohibited transactions, such income will be subject to a 100% tax. A prohibited
transaction generally includes a sale or other disposition of property (other
than foreclosure property) that is held primarily for sale to customers in the
ordinary course of business. Fifth, if the Company should fail to satisfy the
75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test (as discussed below), but has
nonetheless maintained its qualification as a REIT because certain other
requirements have been met, it will be subject to a 100% tax on the net income
attributable to the greater of the amount by which the Company fails the 75% or
95% test. Sixth, if, during each calendar year, the Company fails to distribute
at least the sum of (i) 85% of its real estate investment trust ordinary income
for such year; (ii) 95% of its real estate investment trust capital gain net
income for such year; and (iii) any undistributed taxable income from prior
periods, the Company will be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of such
required distribution over the amounts actually distributed.
If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year and
certain relief provisions do not apply, the Company will be subject to federal
income tax (including alternative minimum tax) as an ordinary corporation on its
taxable income at regular corporate rates without any deduction or adjustment
for distributions to holders of Shares. To the extent that the Company would, as
a consequence, be subject to tax liability for any such taxable year, the amount
of cash available for satisfaction of its liabilities and for distribution to
holders of Shares would be reduced. Distributions made to holders of Shares
generally would be taxable as ordinary income to the extent of current and
accumulated earnings and profits and, subject to certain limitations, would be
eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction, but there can be no
assurance that any such Distributions would be made. The Company would not be
eligible to elect REIT status for the four taxable years after the taxable year
it failed to qualify as a REIT, unless its failure to qualify was due to
reasonable cause and not willful neglect and certain other requirements were
satisfied.
Opinion of Counsel. Based upon representations made by officers of the
Company with respect to relevant factual matters, upon the existing Code
provisions, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including proposed
-77-
<PAGE>
regulations) and reported administrative and judicial interpretations thereof,
upon Counsel's independent review of such documents as Counsel deemed relevant
in the circumstances and upon the assumption that the Company will operate in
the manner described in this Prospectus, Counsel has advised the Company that,
in its opinion, commencing with the Company's taxable year ending December 31,
1996, the Company will be organized in conformity with the requirements for
qualification as a REIT, and the Company's proposed method of operation will
enable it to meet the requirements for qualification as a REIT. It must be
emphasized, however, that the Company's ability to qualify and remain qualified
as a REIT is dependent upon actual operating results and future actions by and
events involving the Company and others, and no assurance can be given that the
actual results of the Company's operations and future actions and events will
enable the Company to satisfy in any given year the requirements for
qualification and taxation as a REIT.
Requirements for Qualification as a REIT. As discussed more fully below,
the Code defines a REIT as a corporation, trust or association (i) which is
managed by one or more trustees or directors; (ii) the beneficial ownership of
which is evidenced by transferable shares, or by transferable certificates of
beneficial interest; (iii) which would be taxable, but for Sections 856 through
860 of the Code, as a domestic corporation; (iv) which is neither a financial
institution nor an insurance company; (v) the beneficial ownership of which is
held (without reference to any rules of attribution) by 100 or more persons;
(vi) which is not closely held as defined in section 856(h) of the Code; and
(vii) which meets certain other tests regarding the nature of its assets and
income and the amount of its distributions.
In the case of a REIT which is a partner in a partnership, Treasury
Regulations provide that the REIT will be deemed to own its proportionate share
of the assets of the partnership and will be deemed to be entitled to the income
of the partnership attributable to such share. In addition, the assets and gross
income (as defined in the Code) of the partnership attributed to the REIT shall
retain the same character as in the hands of the partnership for purposes of
Section 856 of the Code, including satisfying the gross income tests and the
asset tests described below. Thus, the Company's proportionate share of the
assets, liabilities and items of income of any Joint Venture, as described in
"Business -- Joint Venture Arrangements," will be treated as assets, liabilities
and items of income of the Company for purposes of applying the asset and gross
income tests described herein.
Ownership Tests. The ownership requirements for qualification as a REIT
are that (i) during the last half of each taxable year not more than 50% in
value of the REIT's outstanding shares may be owned, directly or indirectly
(applying certain attribution rules), by five or fewer individuals (or certain
entities as defined in the Code) and (ii) there must be at least 100
stockholders (without reference to any attribution rules) on at least 335 days
of such 12-month taxable year (or a proportionate number of days of a short
taxable year). These two requirements do not apply to the first taxable year for
which an election is made to be treated as a REIT. In order to meet these
requirements for subsequent taxable years, or to otherwise obtain, maintain, or
reestablish REIT status, the Articles of Incorporation generally prohibit any
person or entity from actually, constructively or beneficially acquiring or
owning (applying certain attribution rules) more than 9.8% of the outstanding
Common Stock or 9.8% of any series of outstanding Preferred Stock. Among other
provisions, the Articles of Incorporation empower the Board of Directors to
redeem, at its option, a sufficient number of Shares to bring the ownership of
Shares of the Company in conformity with these requirements or to assure
continued conformity with such requirements.
Under the Articles of Incorporation, each holder of Shares is required,
upon demand, to disclose to the Board of Directors in writing such information
with respect to actual, constructive or beneficial ownership of Shares of the
Company as the Board of Directors deems necessary to comply with provisions of
the Code applicable to the Company or the provisions of the Articles of
Incorporation, or the requirements of any other appropriate taxing authority.
Certain Treasury regulations govern the method by which the Company is required
to demonstrate compliance with these stock ownership requirements and the
failure to satisfy such regulations could cause the Company to fail to qualify
as a REIT. The Company has represented that it expects to meet these stock
ownership requirements for each taxable year and it will be able to demonstrate
its compliance with these requirements.
Asset Tests. At the end of each quarter of a REIT's taxable year, at
least 75% of the value of its total assets must consist of "real estate assets,"
cash and cash items (including receivables) and certain government securities.
The balance of a REIT's assets generally may be invested without restriction,
except that holdings of securities not within the 75% class of assets generally
must not, with respect to any issuer, exceed 5% of the value of the REIT's
assets or 10% of the issuer's outstanding voting securities. The term "real
estate assets" includes
-78-
<PAGE>
real property, interests in real property, leaseholds of land or improvements
thereon, and mortgages on the foregoing and any property attributable to the
temporary investment of new capital (but only if such property is stock or a
debt instrument and only for the one-year period beginning on the date the REIT
receives such capital). When a mortgage is secured by both real property and
other property, it is considered to constitute a mortgage on real property to
the extent of the fair market value of the real property when the REIT is
committed to make the loan (or, in the case of a construction loan, the
reasonably estimated cost of construction). Initially, the bulk of the Company's
assets will be real property. However, the Company will also hold the Secured
Equipment Leases. Counsel is of the opinion, based on certain assumptions, that
the Secured Equipment Leases will be treated as loans secured by personal
property for federal income tax purposes. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations
- -Characterization of the Secured Equipment Leases." Therefore, the Secured
Equipment Leases will not qualify as "real estate assets." However, the Company
has represented that at the end of each quarter the value of the Secured
Equipment Leases, together with any personal property owned by the Company, will
in the aggregate represent less than 25% of the Company's total assets and that
the value of the Secured Equipment Leases entered into with any particular
tenant will represent less than 5% of the Company's total assets. No independent
appraisals will be acquired to support this representation, and Counsel, in
rendering its opinion as to the qualification of the Company as a REIT, is
relying on the conclusions of the Company and its senior management as to the
relative values of its assets. There can be no assurance however, that the IRS
may not contend that either (i) the value of the Secured Equipment Leases
entered into with any particular tenant represents more than 5% of the Company's
total assets, or (ii) the value of the Secured Equipment Leases, together with
any personal property owned by the Company, exceeds 25% of the Company's total
assets.
As indicated in "Business -- Joint Venture Arrangements," the Company
may participate in Joint Ventures. If a Joint Venture were classified, for
federal income tax purposes, as an association taxable as a corporation rather
than as a partnership, the Company's ownership of a 10% or greater interest in
the Joint Venture would cause the Company to fail to meet the requirement that
it not own 10% or more of an issuer's voting securities. However, Counsel is of
the opinion, based on certain assumptions, that any Joint Ventures will
constitute partnerships for federal income tax purposes. See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations -- Investment in Joint Ventures."
Income Tests. A REIT also must meet three separate tests with respect to
its sources of gross income for each taxable year.
(a) The 75 Percent and 95 Percent Tests. In general, at least 75% of a
REIT's gross income for each taxable year must be from "rents from real
property," interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property, gains
from the sale or other disposition of real property and certain other sources,
including "qualified temporary investment income." For these purposes,
"qualified temporary investment income" means any income (i) attributable to a
stock or debt instrument purchased with the proceeds received by the REIT in
exchange for stock (or certificates of beneficial interest) in such REIT (other
than amounts received pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan) or in a
public offering of debt obligations with a maturity of at least five years and
(ii) received or accrued during the one-year period beginning on the date the
REIT receives such capital. In addition, a REIT must derive at least 95% of its
gross income for each taxable year from any combination of the items of income
which qualify under the 75% test, from dividends and interest, and from gains
from the sale, exchange or other disposition of certain stock and securities.
Initially, the bulk of the Company's income will be derived from rents
with respect to the Properties. Rents from Properties received by the Company
qualify as "rents from real property" in satisfying these two tests only if
several conditions are met. First, the rent must not be based in whole or in
part, directly or indirectly, on the income or profits of any person. An amount
received or accrued generally will not be excluded from the term "rents from
real property" solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or
percentages of receipts or sales. Second, the Code provides that rents received
from a tenant will not qualify as "rents from real property" if the REIT, or a
direct or indirect owner of 10% or more of the REIT owns, directly or
constructively, 10% or more of such tenant (a "Related Party Tenant"). Third, if
rent attributable to personal property leased in connection with a lease of real
property is greater than 15% of the total rent received under the lease, then
the portion of rent attributable to such personal property will not qualify as
"rents from real property." Finally, for rents to qualify as "rents from real
property," a REIT generally must not operate or manage the property or furnish
or render services to the tenants of such property, other than through an
independent contractor from whom the
-79-
<PAGE>
REIT derives no revenue, except that a REIT may directly perform services which
are "usually or customarily rendered" in connection with the rental of space for
occupancy, other than services which are considered to be rendered to the
occupant of the property.
The Company has represented with respect to its leasing of the
Properties that it will not (i) charge rent for any Property that is based in
whole or in part on the income or profits of any person (except by reason of
being based on a percentage or percentages of receipts or sales, as described
above); (ii) charge rent that will be attributable to personal property in an
amount greater than 15% of the total rent received under the applicable lease;
(iii) directly perform services considered to be rendered to the occupant of a
Property or which are not usually or customarily furnished or rendered in
connection with the rental of real property; or (iv) enter into any lease with a
Related Party Tenant. Specifically, the Company expects that virtually all of
its income will be derived from leases of the type described in "Business --
Description of Leases," and it does not expect such leases to generate income
that would not qualify as rents from real property for purposes of the 75% and
95% income tests.
In addition, the Company will be paid interest on the Mortgage Loans. If
a Mortgage Loan is secured by both real property and other property, all the
interest on it will nevertheless qualify under the 75% gross income test if the
amount of the loan did not exceed the fair market value of the real property at
the time of the loan commitment. The Company anticipates this will always be the
case.
The Company will also receive payments under the terms of the Secured
Equipment Leases. Although the Secured Equipment Leases will be structured as
leases, Counsel is of the opinion that, subject to certain assumptions, they
will be treated as loans secured by personal property for federal income tax
purposes. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Characterization of the
Secured Equipment Leases." If the Secured Equipment Leases are treated as loans
secured by personal property for federal income tax purposes then, the portion
of the payments under the terms of the Secured Equipment Leases that represent
interest, rather than a return of capital for federal income tax purposes, will
not satisfy the 75% gross income test (although it will satisfy the 95% gross
income test). The Company believes, however, that the aggregate amount of such
non-qualifying income will not cause the Company to exceed the limits on
non-qualifying income under the 75% gross income test.
If, contrary to the opinion of Counsel, the Secured Equipment Leases are
treated as true leases, rather than as loans secured by personal property for
federal income tax purposes, the payments under the terms of the Secured
Equipment Leases would be treated as rents from personal property. Rents from
personal property will satisfy either the 75% or 95% gross income tests if they
are received in connection with a lease of real property and the rent
attributable to the personal property does not exceed 15% of the total rent
received from the tenant in connection with the lease. However, if rents
attributable to personal property exceed 15% of the total rent received from a
particular tenant, then the portion of the total rent attributable to personal
property will not satisfy either the 75% or 95% gross income tests.
If, notwithstanding the above, the Company fails to satisfy one or both
of the 75% or 95% tests for any taxable year, it may still qualify as a REIT if
(i) such failure is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect; (ii) it
reports the nature and amount of each item of its income on a schedule attached
to its tax return for such year; and (iii) the reporting of any incorrect
information is not due to fraud with intent to evade tax. However, even if these
three requirements are met and the Company is not disqualified as a REIT, a
penalty tax would be imposed by reference to the amount by which the Company
failed the 75% or 95% test (whichever amount is greater).
(b) The 30 Percent Test. In addition to the 75% and 95% tests for each
taxable year, a REIT must derive less than 30% of its gross income from the sale
or other disposition of (i) real property held for less than four years (other
than foreclosure property or property involuntarily or compulsorily converted
through destruction, condemnation or similar events); (ii) stock or securities
held for less than one year; and (iii) property sold or otherwise disposed of in
a prohibited transaction. The Company has represented that it does not expect
that it will recognize gross income of a type, in an amount or at a time which
would cause it to fail the 30% test. As noted above, the Company plans, if
Listing does not occur within ten years after the commencement of this offering,
to commence with the orderly Sale of its Properties and distribute the proceeds
thereof. In the event of such a Sale of Properties, it is possible that income
derived from the Sale could be treated as income from prohibited transactions
and taken into account in applying the 30% gross income test. The Company
believes that at the time any of the Properties are sold none of the Properties
will be primarily held for sale to customers and that any sale
-80-
<PAGE>
of the Properties will not be in the ordinary course of business. However,
whether property is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course
of business depends on the facts and circumstances in effect from time to time,
including those related to a particular property. In addition, no assurance can
be given that the Company can (a) comply with certain safe-harbor provisions of
the Code which provide that certain sales do not constitute prohibited
transactions or (b) avoid owning property that may be characterized as property
held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business.
(c) The Impact of Default Under the Secured Equipment Leases. In
applying the gross income tests to the Company, it is necessary to consider the
impact that a default under one or more of the Secured Equipment Leases would
have on the Company's ability to satisfy such tests. A default under one or more
of the Secured Equipment Leases would result in the Company directly holding the
Equipment securing such leases for federal income tax purposes. In the event of
a default, the Company may choose to either lease or sell such Equipment.
However, any income resulting from a rental or sale of Equipment not
incidental to the rental or sale of real property would not qualify under the
75% and 95% gross income tests, and any income from a sale of such assets would
count as gain from the sale of assets for purposes of the 30% gross income test.
In addition, in certain circumstances, income derived from a sale or other
disposition of Equipment could be considered "net income from prohibited
transactions," subject to a 100% tax. The Company does not, however, anticipate
that its income from the rental or sale of Equipment would be material in any
taxable year.
Distribution Requirements. A REIT must distribute to its stockholders
for each taxable year ordinary income dividends in an amount equal to at least
(a) 95% of the sum of (i) its "real estate investment trust taxable income"
(before deduction of dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains) and
(ii) the excess of net income from foreclosure property over the tax on such
income, minus (b) certain excess non-cash income. Real estate investment trust
taxable income generally is the taxable income of a REIT computed as if it were
an ordinary corporation, with certain adjustments. Distributions must be made in
the taxable year to which they relate or, if declared before the timely filing
of the REIT's tax return for such year and paid not later than the first regular
dividend payment after such declaration, in the following taxable year.
The Company has represented that it intends to make Distributions to
stockholders that will be sufficient to meet the 95% distribution requirement.
Under some circumstances, however, it is possible that the Company may not have
sufficient funds from its operations to make cash Distributions to satisfy the
95% distribution requirement. For example, in the event of the default or
financial failure of one or more tenants or lessees, the Company might be
required to continue to accrue rent for some period of time under federal income
tax principles even though the Company would not currently be receiving the
corresponding amounts of cash. Similarly, under federal income tax principles,
the Company might not be entitled to deduct certain expenses at the time those
expenses are incurred. In either case, the Company's cash available for making
Distributions might not be sufficient to satisfy the 95% distribution
requirement. If the cash available to the Company is insufficient, the Company
might raise cash in order to make the Distributions by borrowing funds, issuing
new securities or selling assets. If the Company ultimately were unable to
satisfy the 95% distribution requirement, it would fail to qualify as a REIT
and, as a result, would be subject to federal income tax as an ordinary
corporation without any deduction or adjustment for dividends paid to holders of
the Shares. If the Company fails to satisfy the 95% distribution requirement, as
a result of an adjustment to its tax returns by the Service, under certain
circumstances, it may be able to rectify its failure by paying a "deficiency
dividend" (plus a penalty and interest) within 90 days after such adjustment.
This deficiency dividend will be included in the Company's deductions for
dividends paid for the taxable year affected by such adjustment. However, the
deduction for a deficiency dividend will be denied, if any part of the
adjustment resulting in the deficiency is attributable to fraud with intent to
evade tax or to willful failure to timely file an income tax return.
TAXATION OF STOCKHOLDERS
Taxable Domestic Stockholders. For any taxable year in which the Company
qualifies as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, Distributions made by the
Company to its stockholders that are United States persons (generally, any
person other than a nonresident alien individual, a foreign trust or estate or a
foreign partnership or corporation) generally will be taxed as ordinary income.
Amounts received by such United States persons that are properly designated as
capital gain dividends by the Company generally will be taxed as long-term
-81-
<PAGE>
capital gain, without regard to the period for which such person has held its
Shares, to the extent that they do not exceed the Company's actual net capital
gain for the taxable year. Corporate stockholders may be required to treat up to
20% of certain capital gains dividends as ordinary income. Such ordinary income
and capital gain are not eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed
to corporations. Distributions to such United States persons in excess of the
Company's current or accumulated earnings and profits will be considered first a
tax-free return of capital for federal income tax purposes, reducing the tax
basis of each stockholder's Shares, and then, to the extent the Distribution
exceeds each stockholder's basis, a gain realized from the sale of Shares. The
Company will notify each stockholder as to the portions of each Distribution
which, in its judgment, constitute ordinary income, capital gain or return of
capital for federal income tax purposes. Any Distribution that is (i) declared
by the Company in October, November or December of any calendar year and payable
to stockholders of record on a specified date in such months and (ii) actually
paid by the Company in January of the following year, shall be deemed to have
been received by each stockholder on December 31 of such calendar year and, as a
result, will be includable in gross income of the stockholder for the taxable
year which includes such December 31. Stockholders who elect to participate in
the Reinvestment Plan will be treated as if they received a cash Distribution
from the Company and then applied such Distribution to purchase Shares in the
Reinvestment Plan. Stockholders may not deduct on their income tax returns any
net operating or net capital losses of the Company.
Upon the sale or other disposition of the Company's Shares, a
stockholder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the
difference between the amount realized on the sale or other disposition and the
adjusted basis of the Shares involved in the transaction. Such gain or loss will
be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of sale or other disposition,
the Shares involved have been held for more than one year. In addition, if a
stockholder receives a capital gain dividend with respect to Shares which he has
held for six months or less at the time of sale or other disposition, any loss
recognized by the stockholder will be treated as long-term capital loss to the
extent of the amount of the capital gain dividend that was treated as long-term
capital gain.
Generally, the redemption of Shares by the Company will result in
recognition of ordinary income by the stockholder unless the stockholder
completely terminates or substantially reduces his or her interest in the
Company. A redemption of Shares for cash will be treated as a distribution that
is taxable as a dividend to the extent of the Company's current or accumulated
earnings and profits at the time of the redemption under Section 302 of the Code
unless the redemption (a) results in a "complete termination" of the
stockholder's interest in the Company under Section 302(b)(3) of the Code, (b)
is "substantially disproportionate" with respect to the stockholder under
Section 302(b)(2) of the Code, or (c) is "not essentially equivalent to a
dividend" with respect to the stockholder under Section 302(b)(1) of the Code.
Under Code Section 302(b)(2) a redemption is considered "substantially
disproportionate" if the percentage of the voting stock of the corporation owned
by a stockholder immediately after the redemption is less than eighty percent of
the percentage of the voting stock of the corporation owned by such stockholder
immediately before the redemption. In determining whether the redemption is not
treated as a dividend, Shares considered to be owned by a stockholder by reason
of certain constructive ownership rules set forth in Section 318 of the Code, as
well as Shares actually owned, must generally be taken into account. A
distribution to a stockholder will be "not essentially equivalent to a dividend"
if its results in a "meaningful reduction" in the stockholder's interest in the
Company. The Service has published a ruling indicating that a redemption which
results in a reduction in the proportionate interest in a corporation (taking
into account the Section 318 constructive ownership rules) of a stockholder
whose relative stock interest is minimal (an interest of less than 1% should
satisfy this requirement) and who exercises no control over the corporation's
affairs should be treated as being "not essentially equivalent to a dividend."
If the redemption is not treated as a dividend, the redemption of the
Shares for cash will result in taxable gain or loss equal to the difference
between the amount of cash received and the stockholder's tax basis in the
Shares redeemed. Such gain or loss would be capital gain or loss if the Shares
were held as a capital asset and would be long-term capital gain or loss if the
holding period for the Shares exceeds one year.
The Company will report to its U.S. stockholders and the Service the
amount of dividends paid or treated as paid during each calendar year, and the
amount of tax withheld, if any. Under the backup withholding rules, a
stockholder may be subject to backup withholding at the rate of 31% with respect
to dividends paid unless such holder (a) is a corporation or comes within
certain other exempt categories and, when required, demonstrates this fact or
(b) provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of
exemption from backup withholding, and otherwise complies with applicable
requirements of the backup withholding rules. A stockholder that does not
-82-
<PAGE>
provide the Company with a correct taxpayer identification number may also be
subject to penalties imposed by the Service. Any amount paid to the Service as
backup withholding will be creditable against the stockholder's income tax
liability. In addition, the Company may be required to withhold a portion of
capital gain dividends to any stockholders who fail to certify their non-foreign
status to the Company. See "Foreign Stockholders" below.
The state and local income tax treatment of the Company and its
stockholders may not conform to the federal income tax treatment described
above. As a result, stockholders should consult their own tax advisors for an
explanation of how other state and local tax laws would affect their investment
in Shares.
Tax-Exempt Stockholders. Dividends paid by the Company to a stockholder
that is a tax-exempt entity generally will not constitute "unrelated business
taxable income" ("UBTI") as defined in Section 512(a) of the Code, provided that
the tax-exempt entity has not financed the acquisition of its Shares with
"acquisition indebtedness" within the meaning of Section 514(c) of the Code and
the Shares are not otherwise used in an unrelated trade or business of the
tax-exempt entity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, qualified trusts that hold more than 10%
(by value) of the shares of certain REITs may be required to treat a certain
percentage of such REIT's distributions as UBTI. This requirement will apply
only if (i) treating qualified trusts holding REIT shares as individuals would
result in a determination that the REIT is "closely held" within the meaning of
Section 856(h)(1) of the Code and (ii) the REIT is "predominantly held" by
qualified trusts. A REIT is predominantly held if either (i) a single qualified
trust holds more than 25% by value of the REIT interests or (ii) one or more
qualified trusts, each owning more than 10% by value of the REIT interests, hold
in the aggregate more than 50% of the REIT interests. The percentage of any REIT
dividend treated as UBTI is equal to the ratio of (a) the UBTI earned by the
REIT (treating the REIT as if it were a qualified trust and therefore subject to
tax on UBTI) to (b) the total gross income (less certain associated expenses) of
the REIT. A de minimis exception applies where the ratio set forth in the
preceding sentence is less than 5% for any year. For these purposes, a qualified
trust is any trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code and exempt from tax
under Section 501(a) of the Code. The restrictions on ownership of Shares in the
Articles of Incorporation will prevent application of the provisions treating a
portion of REIT distributions as UBTI to tax-exempt entities purchasing Shares
in the Company, absent a waiver of the restrictions by the Board of Directors.
See "Summary of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws -- Restriction of
Ownership."
Assuming that there is no waiver of the restrictions on ownership of
Shares in the Articles of Incorporation and that a tax-exempt stockholder does
not finance the acquisition of its Shares with "acquisition indebtedness" within
the meaning of Section 514(c) of the Code or otherwise use its Shares in an
unrelated trade or business, in the opinion of Counsel the distributions of the
Company with respect to such tax-exempt stockholder will not constitute UBTI.
The tax discussion of distributions by qualified retirement plans, IRAs,
Keogh plans and other tax-exempt entities is beyond the scope of this
discussion, and such entities should consult their tax adviser regarding such
questions.
Foreign Stockholders. The rules governing United States federal income
taxation of nonresident alien individuals, foreign corporations, foreign
participants and other foreign stockholders (collectively, "Non-U.S.
Stockholders") are complex, and no attempt will be made herein to provide more
than a summary of such rules. The following discussion assumes that the income
from investment in the Shares will not be effectively connected with the
Non-U.S. Stockholders' conduct of a United States trade or business. Prospective
Non-U.S. Stockholders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine
the impact of federal, state and local laws with regard to an investment in
Shares, including any reporting requirements. Non-U.S. Stockholders will be
admitted as stockholders with the approval of the Advisor.
Dividends that are not attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by
the Company of United States real property interests and not designated by the
Company as capital gain dividends will be treated as ordinary income to the
extent that they are made out of current and accumulated earnings and profits of
the Company. Such dividends ordinarily will be subject to a withholding tax
equal to 30% of the gross amount of the dividend, unless an applicable tax
treaty reduces or eliminates that tax. The Company expects to withhold U.S.
income tax at the rate of 30% on the gross amount of any such dividends paid to
a Non-U.S. Stockholder unless (i) a lower treaty
-83-
<PAGE>
rate applies and the Non-U.S. Stockholder has filed the required IRS Form 1001
with the Company or (ii) the Non-U.S. Stockholder files an IRS Form 4224 with
the Company claiming that the dividend is effectively connected income.
Dividends in excess of the Company's current and accumulated earnings and
profits will not be taxable to a stockholder to the extent that such dividends
paid do not exceed the adjusted basis of the stockholder's Shares, but rather
will reduce the adjusted basis of such Shares. To the extent that dividends in
excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits exceed the adjusted basis
of a Non-U.S. Stockholders' Shares, such dividends will give rise to tax
liability if the Non-U.S. Stockholder would otherwise be subject to tax on any
gain from the sale or disposition of the Shares, as described below. If it
cannot be determined at the time a dividend is paid whether or not such dividend
will be in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, the dividends
will be subject to withholding at the rate of 30%. However, a Non-U.S.
Stockholder may seek a refund of such amounts from the IRS if it is subsequently
determined that such dividend was, in fact, in excess of the Company's current
and accumulated earnings and profits.
For any year in which the Company qualifies as a REIT, dividends that
are attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by the Company of United States
real property interests will be taxed to a Non-U.S. Stockholder under the
provisions of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as
amended ("FIRPTA"). Under FIRPTA, dividends attributable to gain from sales of
United States real property interests are taxed to a Non-U.S. Stockholder as if
such gain were effectively connected with a United States business. Non-U.S.
Stockholders would thus be taxed at the normal capital gain rates applicable to
U.S. Stockholders (subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special
alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals). Also,
dividends subject to FIRPTA may be subject to a 30% branch profits tax in the
hands of a foreign corporate stockholder not entitled to treaty exemption. The
Company is required by applicable Treasury Regulations to withhold 35% of any
distribution that could be designated by the Company as a capital gain dividend.
This amount is creditable against the Non-U.S. Stockholders' FIRPTA tax
liability.
Gain recognized by a Non-U.S. Stockholder upon a sale of Shares
generally will not be taxed under FIRPTA if the Company is a "domestically
controlled REIT," defined generally as a REIT in which at all times during a
specified testing period less than 50% in value of the stock was held directly
or indirectly by foreign persons. It is currently anticipated that the Company
will be a "domestically controlled REIT," and in such case the sale of Shares
would not be subject to taxation under FIRPTA. However, gain not subject to
FIRPTA nonetheless will be taxable to a Non-U.S. Stockholder if (i) investment
in the Shares is treated as "effectively connected" with the Non-U.S.
Stockholders' U.S. trade or business, in which case the Non-U.S. Stockholder
will be subject to the same treatment as U.S. Stockholders with respect to such
gain or (ii) the Non-U.S. Stockholder is a nonresident alien individual who was
present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year and
either the individual has a "tax home" in the United States or the gain is
attributable to an office or other fixed place of business maintained by the
individual in the United States, in which case the nonresident alien individual
will be subject to a 30% tax on capital gains from sales of Shares. If the gain
on the sale of Shares were to be subject to taxation under FIRPTA, the Non-U.S.
Stockholder would be subject to the same treatment as U.S. Stockholders with
respect to such gain (subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a
special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals),
and the purchaser of the Shares would be required to withhold and remit to the
Service 10% of the purchase price.
STATE AND LOCAL TAXES
The Company and its shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes
in various states and localities in which it or they transact business, own
property, or reside. The tax treatment of the Company and the stockholders in
such jurisdictions may differ from the federal income tax treatment described
above. Consequently, prospective stockholders should consult their own tax
advisors regarding the effect of state and local tax laws upon an investment in
the Common Stock of the Company.
CHARACTERIZATION OF PROPERTY LEASES
The Company will purchase both new and existing Properties and lease
them to franchisees or corporate franchisors pursuant to leases of the type
described in "Business -- Description of Property Leases." The ability of the
Company to claim certain tax benefits associated with ownership of the
Properties, such as depreciation, depends on a determination that the lease
transactions engaged in by the Company are true leases, under which the
-84-
<PAGE>
Company is the owner of the leased Property for federal income tax purposes,
rather than a conditional sale of the Property or a financing transaction. A
determination by the Service that the Company is not the owner of the Properties
for federal income tax purposes could have substantial adverse consequences to
the Company, such as the denying of the Company's depreciation deductions.
Moreover, a denial of the Company's depreciation deductions could result in a
determination that the Company's Distributions to stockholders were insufficient
to satisfy the 95% distribution requirement for qualification as a REIT.
However, as discussed above, if the Company has sufficient cash, it may be able
to remedy any past failure to satisfy the distribution requirements by paying a
"deficiency dividend" (plus a penalty and interest). See "Distribution
Requirements," above.
The characterization of transactions as leases, conditional sales, or
financings has been addressed in numerous cases. The courts have not identified
any one factor as being determinative of whether the lessor or the lessee of
property is to be treated as the owner. Judicial decisions and pronouncements of
the Service with respect to the characterization of transactions as either
leases, conditional sales, or financing transactions have made it clear that the
characterization of leases for tax purposes is a question which must be decided
on the basis of a weighing of many factors, and courts have reached different
conclusions even where characteristics of two lease transactions were
substantially similar.
While certain characteristics of the leases anticipated to be entered
into by the Company suggest the Company might not be the owner of the
Properties, such as the fact that such leases are "triple-net" leases, a
substantial number of other characteristics indicate the bona fide nature of
such leases and that the Company will be the owner of the Properties. For
example, under the types of leases described in "Business -- Description of
Leases," the Company will bear the risk of substantial loss in the value of the
Properties, since the Company will acquire its interests in the Properties with
an equity investment, rather than with nonrecourse indebtedness. Further, the
Company, rather than the tenant, will benefit from any appreciation in the
Properties, since the Company will have the right at any time to sell or
transfer its Properties, subject to the tenant's right to purchase the property
at a price not less than the Property's fair market value (determined by
appraisal or otherwise).
Other factors that are consistent with the ownership of the Properties
by the Company are (i) the tenants are liable for repairs and to return the
Properties in reasonably good condition; (ii) insurance proceeds generally are
to be used to restore the Properties and, to the extent not so used, belong to
the Company; (iii) the tenants agree to subordinate their interests in the
Properties to the lien of any first mortgage upon delivery of a nondisturbance
agreement and agree to attorn to the purchaser upon any foreclosure sale; and
(iv) based on the Company's representation that the Properties can reasonably be
expected to have at the end of their lease terms (generally a maximum of 30 to
40 years) a fair market value of at least 20% of the Company's cost and a
remaining useful life of at least 20% of their useful lives at the beginning of
the leases, the Company has not relinquished the Properties to the tenants for
their entire useful lives, but has retained a significant residual interest in
them. Moreover, the Company will not be primarily dependent upon tax benefits in
order to realize a reasonable return on its investments.
On the basis of the foregoing, assuming (i) the Company leases the
Properties on substantially the same terms and conditions described in "Business
- -- Description of Leases," and (ii) as is represented by the Company, the
residual value of the Properties remaining after the end of their lease terms
(including all renewal periods) may reasonably be expected to be at least 20% of
the Company's cost of such Properties, and the remaining useful lives of the
Properties after the end of their lease terms (including all renewal periods)
may reasonably be expected to be at least 20% of the Properties' useful lives at
the beginning of their lease terms, it is the opinion of Counsel that the
Company will be treated as the owner of the Properties for federal income tax
purposes and will be entitled to claim depreciation and other tax benefits
associated with such ownership. Counsel's opinion that the Company will be
organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT and
that its proposed method of operation will enable it to meet the requirements
for qualification as a REIT is based, in part, on the assumption that each of
the Company's Property leases will conform to the conditions outlined in clauses
(i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence.
-85-
<PAGE>
CHARACTERIZATION OF SECURED EQUIPMENT LEASES
The Company will purchase Equipment and lease it to franchisees or
corporate franchisors pursuant to leases of the type described in "Business --
General." The ability of the Company to qualify as a REIT depends on a
determination that the Secured Equipment Leases are financing arrangements,
under which the lessees acquire ownership of the Equipment for federal income
tax purposes. If the Secured Equipment Leases are instead treated as true
leases, the Company may be unable to satisfy the income tests for REIT
qualification. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Taxation of the Company
- -- Income Tests."
While certain characteristics of the Secured Equipment Leases to be
entered into by the Company suggest that the Company retains ownership of the
Equipment, such as the fact that the Secured Equipment Leases are structured as
leases, with the Company retaining title to the Equipment, a substantial number
of other characteristics indicate that the Secured Equipment Leases are
financing arrangements and that the lessees are the owners of the Equipment for
federal income tax purposes. For example, under the types of Secured Equipment
Leases described in "Business -- General," the lease term will equal or exceed
the useful life of the Equipment, and the lessee will have the option to
purchase the Equipment at the end of the lease term for a nominal sum. Moreover,
under the terms of the Secured Equipment Leases, the Company and the lessees
will each agree to treat the Secured Equipment Leases as loans secured by
personal property, rather than leases, for tax purposes.
On the basis of the foregoing, assuming (i) the Secured Equipment Leases
are made on substantially the same terms and conditions described in "Business
- -- General," and (ii) as represented by the Company, each of the Secured
Equipment Leases will have a term that equals or exceeds the useful life of the
Equipment subject to the lease, it is the opinion of Counsel that the Company
will not be treated as the owner of the Equipment that is subject to the Secured
Equipment Leases for federal income tax purposes and that the Company will be
able to treat the Secured Equipment Leases as loans secured by personal
property. Counsel's opinion that the Company will be organized in conformity
with the requirements for qualification as a REIT is based, in part, on the
assumption that each of the Secured Equipment Leases will conform to the
conditions outlined in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence.
INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES
As indicated in "Business -- Joint Venture Arrangements," the Company
may participate in Joint Ventures which own and lease Properties. Assuming that
the Joint Ventures have the characteristics described in "Business -- Joint
Venture Arrangements," and are operated in the same manner that the Company
operates with respect to Properties that it owns directly, it is the opinion of
Counsel that (i) the Joint Ventures will be treated as partnerships, as defined
in Sections 7701(a)(2) and 761(a) of the Code and not as associations taxable as
corporations, and that the Company will be subject to tax as a partner pursuant
to Sections 701-761 of the Code and (ii) all material allocations to the Company
of income, gain, loss and deduction as provided in the Joint Venture agreements
and as discussed in the Prospectus will be respected under Section 704(b) of the
Code. The Company has represented that it will not become a participant in any
Joint Venture unless the Company has first obtained advice of Counsel that the
Joint Venture will constitute a partnership for federal income tax purposes and
that the allocations to the Company contained in the Joint Venture agreement
will be respected.
If, contrary to the opinion of Counsel, a Joint Venture were to be
treated as an association taxable as a corporation, the Company would be treated
as a stockholder for tax purposes and would not be treated as owning a pro rata
share of the Joint Venture's assets. In addition, the items of income and
deduction of the Joint Venture would not pass through to the Company. Instead,
the Joint Venture would be required to pay income tax at regular corporate tax
rates on its net income, and distributions to partners would constitute
dividends that would not be deductible in computing the Joint Venture's taxable
income. Moreover, a determination that a Joint Venture is taxable as a
corporation could cause the Company to fail to satisfy the asset tests for
qualification as a REIT. See "Asset Tests" and "Income Tests," above.

REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS
The Company will furnish each stockholder with its audited annual report
within 120 days following the close of each fiscal year. These annual reports
will contain the following: (i) financial statements, including a balance sheet,
statement of operations, statement of stockholders' equity, and statement of
cash flows, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals
which are audited and reported on by independent certified public accountants;
(ii) the ratio of the costs of raising capital during the period to the capital
raised; (iii) the aggregate amount of advisory fees and the aggregate amount of
other fees paid to the Advisor and any Affiliate of the Advisor by the Company
and including fees or charges paid to the Advisor and any Affiliate of the
Advisor by third parties doing business with the Company; (iv) the Operating
Expenses of the Company, stated as a percentage of the Average Invested Assets
(the average of the aggregate book value of the assets of the Company, for a
specified period, invested, directly or indirectly, in equity interests in and
loans secured by real estate, before reserves for depreciation or bad debts or
other similar non-cash reserves, computed by taking the average of such values
at the end of each month during such period) and as a percentage of its Net
Income; (v) a report from the Independent Directors that the policies being
followed by the Company are in the best interest of its stockholders and the
basis for such determination; (vi) separately stated, full disclosure of all
material terms, factors and circumstances surrounding any and all transactions
involving the Company, Directors, Advisor and any Affiliate thereof occurring in
the year for which the annual report is made, and the Independent Directors
shall be specifically charged with a duty to examine and comment in the report
on the fairness of such transactions; and (vii) Distributions to the
stockholders for the period, identifying the source of such Distributions and if
such information is not available at the time of the distribution, a written
explanation of the relevant circumstances will accompany the Distributions (with
the statement as to the source of Distributions to be sent to stockholders not
later than 60 days after the end of the fiscal year in which the distribution
was made).
Within 75 days following the close of each Company fiscal year, each
stockholder that is a Qualified Plan will be furnished with an annual statement
of Share valuation to enable it to file annual reports required by ERISA as they
relate to its investment in the Company. The statement will report an estimated
value of each Share, prior to the termination of the offering, of $10 per Share
and, after the termination of the offering, based on (i) appraisal updates
performed by the Company based on a review of the existing appraisal and lease
of each Property, focusing on a re-examination of the capitalization rate
applied to the rental stream to be derived from that Property; and (ii) a review
of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases focusing on a
determination of present value by a re-examination of the capitalization rate
applied to the stream of payments due under the terms of each Mortgage Loan and
Secured Equipment Lease. The Company may elect to deliver such reports to all
stockholders. Stockholders will not be forwarded copies of appraisals or
updates. In providing such reports to stockholders, neither the Company nor its
Affiliates thereby make any warranty, guarantee, or representation that (i) the
stockholders or the Company, upon liquidation, will actually realize the
estimated value per Share, or (ii) the stockholders will realize the estimated
net asset value if they attempt to sell their Shares.
If the Company is required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, to file quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on Form 10-Q, stockholders will be furnished with a summary of the information
contained in each such report within 60 days after the end of each fiscal
quarter. Such summary information generally will include a balance sheet, a
quarterly statement of income, and a statement of cash flows, and any other
pertinent information regarding the Company and its activities during the
quarter. Stockholders also may receive a copy of any Form 10-Q upon request to
the Company. If the Company is not subject to this filing requirement,
stockholders will be furnished with a semi-annual report within 60 days after
each six-month period containing information similar to that contained in the
quarterly report but applicable to such six-month period.
Stockholders and their duly authorized representatives are entitled to
inspect and copy, at their expense, the books and records of the Company at all
times during regular business hours, upon reasonable prior notice to the
Company, at the location where such reports are kept by the Company.
Stockholders, upon request and at their expense, may obtain full information
regarding the financial condition of the Company, a copy of the Company's
federal, state, and local income tax returns for each fiscal year of the
Company, and, subject to certain confidentiality requirements, a list containing
the name, address, and Shares held by each stockholder.
The fiscal year of the Company will be the calendar year.
-87-
<PAGE>
The Company's federal tax return (and any applicable state income tax
returns) will be prepared by the accountants regularly retained by the Company.
Appropriate tax information will be submitted to the stockholders within 30 days
following the end of each fiscal year of the Company. A specific reconciliation
between GAAP and income tax information will not be provided to the
stockholders; however, such reconciling information will be available in the
office of the Company for inspection and review by any interested stockholder.
THE OFFERING
GENERAL
A minimum of 150,000 Shares ($1,500,000) and a maximum of 10,000,000
Shares ($100,000,000) are being offered at a purchase price of $10.00 each. The
maximum offering is subject to increase to 15,000,000 Shares ($150,000,000) at
the option of the Managing Dealer if the offering is oversubscribed. In
addition, the Company has registered an additional 1,500,000 Shares
($15,000,000) available only to stockholders who receive a copy of this
Prospectus and who elect to participate in the Reinvestment Plan. Any
participation in such plan by a person who becomes a stockholder otherwise than
by participating in this offering will require solicitation under a separate
prospectus. See "Summary of Reinvestment Plan."
A minimum investment of 250 Shares ($2,500) is required. IRAs, Keogh
plans, and pension plans must make a minimum investment of at least 100 Shares
($1,000), except for Iowa tax-exempt investors who must make a minimum
investment of 250 Shares ($2,500). For Minnesota investors only, IRAs and
qualified plans must make a minimum investment of 200 Shares ($2,000). In
addition, Nebraska, New York, and North Carolina investors must make a minimum
investment of 500 Shares ($5,000). Any investor who makes the required minimum
investment may purchase additional Shares in increments of one Share. Maine
investors, however, may not purchase additional Shares in amounts less than the
applicable minimum investment except at the time of the initial subscription or
with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan. See "The
Offering--General," "The Offering -- Subscription Procedures," and "Summary of
Reinvestment Plan."
No Shares will be sold and the offering will terminate unless
subscriptions for at least 150,000 Shares ($1,500,000) have been obtained within
one year after the date of this Prospectus. If such minimum amount is sold, the
Company may, in its sole discretion, and without prior notice to the
subscribers, elect to extend the offering for up to an additional one year
thereafter (in states that permit such an extension). Until subscription funds
for the Company total $1,500,000, the funds will be held in escrow by SouthTrust
Asset Management Company of Florida, N.A., and interest earned on such funds
will accrue to the benefit of subscribers. Pursuant to the requirements of the
Commissioners of Securities of Iowa and Minnesota, the Attorney General of the
State of New York, the Director of the Division of Securities of Ohio, and the
Commissioner of Securities of the State of Pennsylvania, subscriptions from
Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania residents may not be released
from escrow, or included in determining whether the $1,500,000 minimum for the
Company has been reached, until subscriptions for Shares totalling at least
$2,500,000 (for Iowa, Minnesota, New York, and Ohio investors) and $8,250,000
(for Pennsylvania investors have been received from all sources. Subscription
amounts with all interest due will be returned in the event that subscriptions
aggregating $1,500,000 are not received within one year after the commencement
of the offering.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Shares will be offered to the public on a "best efforts" basis
(which means that no one is guaranteeing that any minimum amount will be sold)
through the Soliciting Dealers, who will be members of the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or other persons or entities exempt
from broker-dealer registration, and the Managing Dealer. The Soliciting Dealers
will use their best efforts during the offering period to find eligible persons
who desire to subscribe for the purchase of Shares from the Company. Both James
M. Seneff, Jr. and Robert A. Bourne are Affiliates and licensed principals of
the Managing Dealer, and the Advisor is an Affiliate of the Managing Dealer.

Prior to a subscriber's admission to the Company as a stockholder, funds
paid by such subscriber will be deposited in an interest-bearing escrow account
with SouthTrust Asset Management Company of Florida, N.A. The Company, within 30
days after the date a subscriber is admitted to the Company, will pay to such
subscriber the interest (generally calculated on a daily basis) actually earned
on such subscriber's funds. After the initial admission of stockholders to the
Company in connection with the sale of at least 150,000 Shares, interest will be
payable only to those subscribers whose funds have been held in escrow by such
bank for at least 20 days. Stockholders otherwise are not entitled to interest
earned on Company funds or to receive interest on their Invested Capital. See
"Escrow Arrangements" below.
Subject to the provisions for reduced Selling Commissions described
below, the Company will pay the Managing Dealer an aggregate of 7.5% of the
Gross Proceeds as Selling Commissions. The Managing Dealer shall reallow fees of
up to 7% to the Soliciting Dealers with respect to Shares sold by them. In
addition, the Company will pay the Managing Dealer, as an expense allowance, a
marketing support and due diligence expense reimbursement fee equal to 0.5% of
Gross Proceeds. The Managing Dealer, in its sole discretion, may reallow to any
Soliciting Dealer all or any portion of this fee based on such factors as the
number of Shares sold by such Soliciting Dealer, the assistance, if any, of such
Soliciting Dealer in marketing the offering, and bona fide due diligence
expenses incurred. Stockholders who elect to participate in the Reinvestment
Plan will be charged Selling Commissions and the marketing support and due
diligence fee on Shares purchased for their accounts on the same basis as
investors who purchase Shares in the offering. See "Summary of Reinvestment
Plan."
A registered principal or representative of the Managing Dealer or a
Soliciting Dealer may purchase Shares net of 7% commissions, at a per Share
purchase price of $9.30. In addition, Soliciting Dealers, in their sole
discretion, may elect not to accept any Selling Commissions offered by the
Company for Shares that they sell. In that event, such Shares shall be sold to
the investor net of all Selling Commissions, at a per Share purchase price of
$9.30. In connection with the purchases of certain minimum numbers of Shares,
investors may agree with their Soliciting Dealer to reduce the Selling
Commissions otherwise payable to the Soliciting Dealer. The following table
illustrates the various discount levels:
</TABLE>
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Dollar Amount
of Shares Purchase Price Reallowed Commissions on Sales Per Share
Purchased Per Share Percent Dollar Amount
<S> <C>
$10-- $249,990 $10.00 7.0% $0.70
$250,000-- $499,990 $9.90 6.0% $0.60
$500,000-- $999,990 $9.70 4.0% $0.40
$1,000,000-- $1,499,990 $9.60 3.0% $0.30
$1,500,000 - $1,999,000 $9.50 2.0% $0.20
$2,000,000 or more $9.40 1.0% $0.10
</TABLE>
For example, if an investor purchases 100,000 Shares, the investor could
pay as little as $960,000 rather than $1,000,000 for the Shares, in which event
the Selling Commissions on the sale of such Shares would be $35,000 ($0.35 per
Share). The net proceeds to the Company will not be affected by such discounts.
Subscriptions may be combined for the purpose of determining the volume
discounts in the case of subscriptions made by any "purchaser," provided all
such Shares are purchased through the same Soliciting Dealer or through the
Managing Dealer. The volume discount will be prorated among the separate
subscribers considered to be a single "purchaser." Shares purchased pursuant to
the Reinvestment Plan on behalf of a Participant in the Reinvestment Plan will
not be combined with other subscriptions for Shares by the investor in
determining the volume discount to which such investor may be entitled. See
"Summary of Reinvestment Plan." Further subscriptions for Shares will not be
combined for purposes of the volume discount in the case of subscriptions by any
"purchaser" who subscribes for additional Shares subsequent to the purchaser's
initial purchase of Shares.
Any request to combine more than one subscription must be made in
writing in a form satisfactory to the Company and must set forth the basis for
such request. Any such request will be subject to verification by the Managing
Dealer that all of such subscriptions were made by a single "purchaser." If a
"purchaser" does not
-89-
<PAGE>
reduce the per Share purchase price, the excess purchase price over the
discounted purchase price will be returned to the actual separate subscribers
for Shares.
For purposes of such volume discounts, "purchaser" includes (i) an
individual, his or her spouse, and their children under the age of 21, who
purchase the Shares for his or her or their own accounts, and all pension or
trust funds established by each such individual; (ii) a corporation,
partnership, association, joint-stock company, trust fund, or any organized
group of persons, whether incorporated or not (provided that the entities
described in this clause (ii) must have been in existence for at least six
months before purchasing the Shares and must have formed such group for a
purpose other than to purchase the Shares at a discount); (iii) an employee's
trust, pension, profit-sharing, or other employee benefit plan qualified under
Section 401 of the Code; and (iv) all pension, trust, or other funds maintained
by a given bank. In addition, the Company, in its sole discretion, may aggregate
and combine separate subscriptions for Shares received during the offering
period from (i) the Managing Dealer or the same Soliciting Dealer, (ii)
investors whose accounts are managed by a single investment adviser registered
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, (iii) investors over whose accounts a
designated bank, insurance company, trust company, or other entity exercises
discretionary investment responsibility, or (iv) a single corporation,
partnership, trust association, or other organized group of persons, whether
incorporated or not, and whether such subscriptions are by or for the benefit of
such corporation, partnership, trust association, or group. Except as provided
in this paragraph, subscriptions will not be cumulated, combined, or aggregated.
The Company or its Affiliates also may provide incentive items for
registered representatives of the Managing Dealer and the Soliciting Dealers,
which in no event shall exceed an aggregate of $100 per annum per participating
salesperson. In the event other incentives are provided to registered
representatives of the Managing Dealer or the Soliciting Dealers, they will be
paid only in cash, and such payments will be made only to the Managing Dealer or
the Soliciting Dealers rather than to their registered representatives. Any such
sales incentive program must first have been submitted for review by the NASD,
and must comply with Article III, Section 44(c)(6)(B)(xi) of its Rules of Fair
Practice. Costs incurred in connection with such sales incentive programs, if
any, will be considered underwriting compensation. See "Estimated Use of
Proceeds."
A registered principal or representative of the Managing Dealer or a
Soliciting Dealer, employees, officers, and Directors of the Company, or
employees, officers, and directors of the Advisor, any of their Affiliates and
any Plan established exclusively for the benefit of such persons or entities may
purchase Shares net of 7% commissions, at a per Share purchase price of $9.30.
In addition, clients of an investment adviser registered under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, who have been advised by such adviser on an
ongoing basis regarding investments other than in the Company, and who are not
being charged by such adviser or its Affiliates, through the payment of
commissions or otherwise, for the advice rendered by such adviser in connection
with the purchase of the Shares, may purchase the Shares net of 7% commissions.
Any reduction in commissions will reduce the effective purchase price
per Share to the investor involved but will not alter the net proceeds payable
to the Company as a result of such sale. All investors will be deemed to have
contributed the same amount per Share to the Company whether or not the investor
receives a discount. Accordingly, for purposes of Distributions, investors who
pay reduced commissions will receive higher returns on their investments in the
Company as compared to investors who do not pay reduced commissions.
In connection with the sale of Shares, certain registered principals or
representatives of the Managing Dealer may perform wholesaling functions for
which they will receive compensation payable by the Managing Dealer in an
aggregate amount not in excess of one percent of Gross Proceeds. In addition,
the Advisor and its Affiliates, including the Managing Dealer and its registered
principals or representatives, may incur due diligence fees and other expenses,
including expenses related to sales seminars and wholesaling activities, a
portion of which may be paid by the Company.
The Managing Dealer and the Soliciting Dealers severally will indemnify
the Company and its officers and Directors, the Advisor and its officers and
directors and their Affiliates, against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURES
Procedures Applicable to All Subscriptions. In order to purchase Shares,
the subscriber must complete and execute the Subscription Agreement. Any
subscription for Shares must be accompanied by cash or check payable to
"SouthTrust Asset Management Company of Florida, N.A., Escrow Agent" (or to the
Company after subscription funds are released from escrow), in the amount of
$10.00 per Share. See "Escrow Arrangements" below. Certain Soliciting Dealers
who have "net capital," as defined in the applicable federal securities
regulations, of $250,000 or more may instruct their customers to make their
checks for Shares for which they have subscribed payable directly to the
Soliciting Dealer. In such case, the Soliciting Dealer will issue a check made
payable to the order of the Escrow Agent for the aggregate amount of the
subscription proceeds.
Each subscription will be accepted or rejected by the Company within 30
days after its receipt, and no sale of Shares shall be completed until at least
five business days after the date on which the subscriber receives a copy of
this Prospectus. If a subscription is rejected, the funds will be returned to
the subscriber within ten business days after the date of such rejection,
without interest and without deduction. A form of the Subscription Agreement is
set forth as Exhibit D to this Prospectus. The subscription price of each Share
is payable in full upon execution of the Subscription Agreement. A subscriber
whose subscription is accepted shall be sent a confirmation of his or her
purchase.
The Advisor and each Soliciting Dealer who sells Shares on behalf of the
Company have the responsibility to make every reasonable effort to determine
that the purchase of Shares is appropriate for an investor and that the
requisite suitability standards are met. See "Suitability Standards and How to
Subscribe -- Suitability Standards." In making this determination, the
Soliciting Dealers will rely on relevant information provided by the investor,
including information as to the investor's age, investment objectives,
investment experience, income, net worth, financial situation, other
investments, and any other pertinent information. Each investor should be aware
that determining suitability is the responsibility of the Soliciting Dealer.
Subscription payments will be released from escrow promptly after the
receipt by the Company of subscriptions for a minimum of 150,000 Shares
(excluding subscriptions of Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania
investors). Persons whose subscriptions are accepted prior to the release of
such payments from escrow will be admitted as stockholders within 15 days after
such release of payments. Thereafter, subscribers will be admitted as
stockholders not later than the last day of the calendar month following
acceptance of their subscriptions.
Procedures Applicable to Non-Telephonic Orders. Each Soliciting Dealer
receiving a subscriber's check made payable solely to the bank escrow agent
(where, pursuant to such Soliciting Dealer's internal supervisory procedures,
internal supervisory review must be conducted at the same location at which
subscription documents and checks are received from subscribers), will deliver
such checks to the Managing Dealer no later than the close of business of the
first business day after receipt of the subscription documents by the Soliciting
Dealer except that, in any case in which the Soliciting Dealer maintains a
branch office, and, pursuant to a Soliciting Dealer's internal supervisory
procedures, final internal supervisory review is conducted at a different
location, the branch office shall transmit the subscription documents and check
to the Soliciting Dealer conducting such internal supervisory review by the
close of business on the first business day following their receipt by the
branch office and the Soliciting Dealer shall review the subscription documents
and subscriber's check to ensure their proper execution and form and, if they
are acceptable, transmit the check to the Managing Dealer by the close of
business on the first business day after the check is received by the Soliciting
Dealer. The Managing Dealer will transmit the check to the Escrow Agent by no
later than the close of business on the first business day after the check is
received from the Soliciting Dealer.
Procedures Applicable to Telephonic Orders. Certain Soliciting Dealers
may permit investors to subscribe for Shares by telephonic order to the
Soliciting Dealer. There are no additional fees associated with telephonic
orders. Subscribers who wish to subscribe for Shares by telephonic order to the
Soliciting Dealer may complete the telephonic order either by delivering a check
in the amount necessary to purchase the Shares to be covered by the subscription
agreement to the Soliciting Dealer or by authorizing the Soliciting Dealer to
pay the purchase price for the Shares to be covered by the subscription
agreement from funds available in an account maintained by the Soliciting Dealer
on behalf of the subscriber. A subscriber must specifically authorize the
registered representative
-91-
<PAGE>
and branch manager to execute the subscription agreement on behalf of the
subscriber and must already have made or agreed to make payment for the Shares
covered by the subscription agreement.
To the extent that customers of any Soliciting Dealer wish to subscribe
and pay for Shares with funds held by or to be deposited with those firms, then
such firms shall, subject to Rule 15c2-4 promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, either (i) upon receipt of an executed subscription
agreement or direction to execute a subscription agreement on behalf of a
customer, to forward the offering price for the Shares covered by the
subscription agreement on or before the close of business of the first business
day following receipt or execution of a subscription agreement by such firms to
the Managing Dealer (except that, in any case in which the Soliciting Dealer
maintains a branch office, and, pursuant to a Soliciting Dealer's internal
supervisory procedures, final internal supervisory review is conducted at a
different location, the branch office shall transmit the subscription documents
and subscriber's check to the Soliciting Dealer conducting such internal
supervisory review by the close of business on the first business day following
their receipt by the branch office and the Soliciting Dealer shall review the
subscription documents and subscriber's check to ensure their proper execution
and form and, if they are acceptable, transmit the check to the Managing Dealer
by the close of business on the first business day after the check is received
by the Soliciting Dealer), or (ii) to solicit indications of interest in which
event (a) such Soliciting Dealers must subsequently contact the customer
indicating interest to confirm the interest and give instructions to execute and
return a subscription agreement or to receive authorization to execute the
subscription agreement on the customer's behalf, (b) such Soliciting Dealers
must mail acknowledgments of receipt of orders to each customer confirming
interest on the business day following such confirmation, (c) such Soliciting
Dealers must debit accounts of such customers on the fifth business day (the
"debit date") following receipt of the confirmation referred to in (a), and (d)
such Soliciting Dealers must forward funds to the Managing Dealer in accordance
with the procedures and on the schedule set forth in clause (i) of this
sentence. If the procedure in (ii) is adopted, subscribers' funds are not
required to be in their accounts until the debit date. The Managing Dealer will
transmit the check to the Escrow Agent by no later than the close of business on
the first business day after the check is received from the Soliciting Dealer.
Investors, however, who are residents of Florida, Iowa, Maine, Michigan,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio,
Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, or Washington must complete and sign the
Subscription Agreement in order to subscribe for Shares and, therefore, may not
subscribe for Shares by telephone. Representatives of Soliciting Dealers who
accept telephonic orders will execute the Subscription Agreement on behalf of
investors who place such orders. All investors who telephonically subscribe for
Shares will receive, with confirmation of their subscription, a second copy of
the Prospectus.
Residents of California, Oklahoma, and Texas who telephonically
subscribe for Shares will have the right to rescind such subscriptions within
ten days from receipt of the confirmation. Such investors who do not rescind
their subscriptions within such ten-day period shall be deemed to have assented
to all of the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement.
Additional Subscription Procedures. Investors who have questions or who
wish to place orders for Shares by telephone or to participate in the
Reinvestment Plan should contact their Soliciting Dealer. Certain Soliciting
Dealers do not permit telephonic subscriptions or participation in the
Reinvestment Plan. See "Summary of Reinvestment Plan." The form of Subscription
Agreement for certain Soliciting Dealers who do not permit telephonic
subscriptions or participation in the Reinvestment Plan differs slightly from
the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, primarily in that it will eliminate one
or both of these options.
Investors who wish to establish an IRA for the purpose of investing
solely in Shares may do so by completing, in addition to the Subscription
Agreement, the special IRA account form attached hereto as a part of Exhibit D
appointing Franklin Bank, N.A., an unaffiliated bank, to act as their IRA
custodian. The custodian will not have the authority to vote any of the Shares
held in an IRA except in accordance with written instructions from the
beneficiary of the IRA, although it will hold the Shares on behalf of the
beneficiary and make distributions and, at the direction and in the discretion
of the beneficiary, investments in Shares or in other securities issued by
Affiliates of the Advisor. The custodian will not have authority at any time to
make investments through any such IRA on behalf of the beneficiary if the
investments do not constitute Shares or other securities issued by Affiliates of
the Advisor. The investors will not be required to pay any initial or annual
fees in connection with any such
-92-
<PAGE>
IRA. The fees for establishing and maintaining all such IRAs will be paid by the
Advisor initially and annually up to an aggregate amount of $5,000, and by the
Company above such amount.
ESCROW ARRANGEMENTS
Subscription proceeds will be received in trust and deposited in a
separate account with SouthTrust Asset Management Company of Florida, N.A. (the
"Bank"). No Shares will be sold by the Company, no commissions or fees will be
paid by it, and the initial admission of investors of the Company will not take
place unless subscriptions have been accepted for at least 150,000 Shares
($1,500,000) and subscription funds from investors who place telephonic orders
have been on deposit with the Bank for at least 15 days from the date written
confirmation is mailed to the investor by the Managing Dealer. If subscriptions
for at least $1,500,000 have not been received, accepted, and paid for within
one year from the initial date of this Prospectus, all funds received will be
promptly repaid in full, with any interest earned thereon. In addition,
California and Florida investors only will have the right, as provided in the
attached form of Subscription Agreement, to withdraw their subscription funds if
subscribers for at least $1,500,000 have not been accepted by the Company within
six months after the initial date of this Prospectus and the Company elects at
that time not to terminate the offering.
The Escrow Agreement between the Company and the Bank provides that
escrowed funds will be invested by the Bank in an interest-bearing account with
the power of investment in short-term, highly liquid securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, other investments permitted under Rule 15c2-4
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or, upon receipt of
subscription proceeds for at least 150,000 Shares (provided that subscription
funds from investors who place telephonic orders have been on deposit with the
Bank for at least 15 days), in other short-term, highly liquid investments with
appropriate safety of principal. Such subscription funds will be released
periodically (at least once per month) upon admission of stockholders to the
Company.
The interest, if any, earned on subscription proceeds prior to their
release from escrow, within 30 days after the date a subscriber is admitted to
the Company as a stockholder, will be distributed to each subscriber. After the
initial admission of stockholders to the Company in connection with the sale of
at least 150,000 Shares, interest will be payable only to those subscribers
whose funds have been held in escrow by the Bank for at least 20 days.
Stockholders will not otherwise be entitled to interest earned on Company funds
or to receive interest on their Invested Capital.
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a summary of material considerations arising under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") and the
prohibited transaction provisions of Section 4975 of the Code that may be
relevant to prospective investors. This discussion does not purport to deal with
all aspects of ERISA or the Code that may be relevant to particular investors in
light of their particular circumstances. A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR THAT IS AN
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN SUBJECT TO ERISA, A TAXQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN, AN IRA,
OR A GOVERNMENTAL, CHURCH, OR OTHER PLAN THAT IS EXEMPT FROM ERISA IS ADVISED TO
CONSULT ITS OWN LEGAL ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS ARISING
UNDER APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF ERISA, THE CODE, AND STATE LAW WITH RESPECT TO
THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, OR SALE OF THE SHARES BY SUCH PLAN OR IRA.
Fiduciary Duties and Prohibited Transactions. A fiduciary of a pension,
profit-sharing, retirement or other employee benefit plan subject to ERISA (an
"ERISA Plan") should consider the fiduciary standards under ERISA in the context
of the ERISA Plan's particular circumstances before authorizing an investment of
any portion of the ERISA Plan's assets in the Common Stock. Accordingly, such
fiduciary should consider (i) whether the investment satisfies the
diversification requirements of Section 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA; (ii) whether the
investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the
ERISA Plan as required by Section 404(a)(1)(D) of ERISA; (iii) whether the
investment is prudent under Section 404(a)(1)(B) of ERISA; and (iv) whether the
investment is solely in the interests of the ERISA Plan participants and
beneficiaries and for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to the ERISA
Plan participants and beneficiaries and defraying reasonable administrative
expenses of the ERISA Plan as required by Section 404(a)(1)(A) of ERISA.
-93-
<PAGE>
In addition to the imposition of fiduciary standards, ERISA and Section
4975 of the Code prohibit a wide range of transactions between an ERISA Plan, an
IRA, or certain other plans (collectively, a "Plan") and persons who have
certain specified relationships to the Plan ("parties in interest" within the
meaning of ERISA and "disqualified persons" within the meaning of the Code).
Thus, a Plan fiduciary or person making an investment decision for a Plan also
should consider whether the acquisition or the continued holding of the Shares
might constitute or give rise to a direct or indirect prohibited transaction.
Plan Assets. The prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and the Code
apply to transactions with a Plan and also to transactions with the "plan
assets" of the Plan. The "plan assets" of a Plan include the Plan's interest in
an entity in which the Plan invests and, in certain circumstances, the assets of
the entity in which the Plan holds such interest. The term "plan assets" is not
specifically defined in ERISA or the Code, nor, as of the date hereof, has it
been interpreted definitively by the courts in litigation. On November 13, 1986,
the United States Department of Labor, the governmental agency primarily
responsible for administering ERISA, adopted a final regulation (the "DOL
Regulation") setting out the standards it will apply in determining whether an
equity investment in an entity will cause the assets of such entity to
constitute "plan assets." The DOL Regulation applies for purposes of both ERISA
and Section 4975 of the Code.
Under the DOL Regulation, if a Plan acquires an equity interest in an
entity, which equity interest is not a "publicly-offered security," the Plan's
assets generally would include both the equity interest and an undivided
interest in each of the entity's underlying assets unless certain specified
exceptions apply. The DOL Regulation defines a publicly-offered security as a
security that is "widely held," "freely transferable," and either part of a
class of securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act (provided the
securities are registered under the Exchange Act within 120 days after the end
of the fiscal year of the issuer during which the offering occurred). The Shares
are being sold in an offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and will be registered within the relevant time period under Section
12(b) of the Exchange Act.
The DOL Regulation provides that a security is "widely held" only if it
is part of a class of securities that is owned by 100 or more investors
independent of the issuer and of one another. However, a class of securities
will not fail to be "widely held" solely because the number of independent
investors falls below 100 subsequent to the initial public offering as a result
of events beyond the issuer's control. The Company expects the Shares to be
"widely held" upon completion of the offering.
The DOL Regulation provides that whether a security is "freely
transferable" is a factual question to be determined on the basis of all the
relevant facts and circumstances. The DOL Regulation further provides that when
a security is part of an offering in which the minimum investment is $10,000 or
less, as is the case with this offering, certain restrictions ordinarily will
not affect, alone or in combination, the finding that such securities are freely
transferable. The Company believes that the restrictions imposed under the
Articles of Incorporation on the transfer of the Common Stock are limited to
restrictions on transfer generally permitted under the DOL Regulation and are
not likely to result in the failure of the Common Stock to be "freely
transferable." See "Summary of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws --
Restriction on Ownership." The DOL Regulation only establishes a presumption in
favor of a finding of free transferability and, therefore, no assurance can be
given that the Department of Labor and the U.S. Treasury Department would not
reach a contrary conclusion with respect to the Common Stock.
Assuming that the Shares will be "widely held" and "freely
transferable," the Company believes that the Shares will be publicly-offered
securities for purposes of the DOL Regulation and that the assets of the Company
will not be deemed to be "plan assets" of any Plan that invests in the Shares.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price per Share was determined by the Company based upon
the estimated costs of investing in the Properties and the Mortgage Loans, the
fees to be paid to the Advisor and its Affiliates, as well as fees to third
parties, and the expenses of this offering.

EXHIBIT A
FORM OF
REINVESTMENT PLAN
<PAGE>
FORM OF
REINVESTMENT PLAN
CNL AMERICAN REALTY FUND, INC., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"),
pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation, adopted a Reinvestment Plan (the
"Reinvestment Plan") on the terms and conditions set forth below.
1. Reinvestment of Distributions. MMS Escrow and Transfer Agency, Inc.,
the agent (the "Reinvestment Agent") for participants (the "Participants") in
the Reinvestment Plan, will receive all cash distributions made by the Company
with respect to shares of common stock of the Company (the "Shares") owned by
each Participant (collectively, the "Distributions"). The Reinvestment Agent
will apply such Distributions as follows:
(a) Prior to the termination of the public offering of Shares, the
Reinvestment Agent will invest Distributions in Shares acquired from the
managing dealer or participating brokers for the offering at the public
offering price per Share, or $10.00 per Share. During such period,
commissions and the marketing support and due diligence fee equal to
0.5% of the total amount raised from sale of the Shares will be
reallowed to the broker who made the initial sale of Shares to the
Participant at the same rate as for initial purchases.
(b) After termination of the public offering of Shares, the
Reinvestment Agent will purchase Shares from any additional shares which
the Company elects to register with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") for the Reinvestment Plan, at a per Share price
equal to the fair market value of the Shares determined by (i) quarterly
appraisal updates performed by the Company based on a review of the
existing appraisal and lease of each Property, focusing on a
re-examination of the capitalization rate applied to the rental stream
to be derived from that Property; and (ii) a review of the outstanding
Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases focusing on a determination
of present value by a re-examination of the capitalization rate applied
to the stream of payments due under the terms of each Mortgage Loan and
Secured Equipment Lease. The capitalization rate used by the Company
and, as a result, the price per Share paid by Participants in the
Reinvestment Plan prior to Listing will be determined by the Advisor in
its sole discretion. The factors that the Advisor will use to determine
the capitalization rate include (i) its experience in selecting,
acquiring and managing properties similar to the Properties; (ii) an
examination of the conditions in the market; and (iii) capitalization
rates in use by private appraisers, to the extent that the Advisor deems
such factors appropriate, as well as any other factors that the Advisor
deems relevant or appropriate in making its determination. The Company's
internal accountants will then convert the most recent quarterly balance
sheet of the Company from a "GAAP" balance sheet to a "fair market
value" balance sheet. Based on the "fair market value" balance sheet,
the internal accountants will then assume a sale of the Company's assets
and the liquidation of the Company in accordance with its constitutive
documents and applicable law and compute the appropriate method of
distributing the cash available after payment of reasonable liquidation
expenses, including closing costs typically associated with the sale of
assets and shared by the buyer and seller, and the creation of
reasonable reserves to provide for the payment of any contingent
liabilities. Upon listing of the Shares on a national securities
exchange or over-the-counter market, the Reinvestment Agent may purchase
Shares either through such market or directly from the Company pursuant
to a registration statement relating to the Reinvestment Plan, in either
case at a per Share price equal to the then-prevailing market price on
the national securities exchange or over-the-counter market on which the
Shares are listed at the date of purchase by the Reinvestment Agent.
(c) For each Participant, the Reinvestment Agent will maintain a
record which shall reflect for each fiscal quarter the Distributions
received by the Reinvestment Agent on behalf of such Participant. The
Reinvestment Agent will use the aggregate amount of Distributions to all
Participants for each fiscal quarter to purchase Shares for the
Participants. If the aggregate amount of Distributions to Participants
exceeds the amount required to purchase all Shares then available for
purchase, the Reinvestment Agent will
A-1
<PAGE>
purchase all available Shares and will return all remaining
Distributions to the Participants within 30 days after the date such
Distributions are made. The purchased Shares will be allocated among the
Participants based on the portion of the aggregate Distributions
received by the Reinvestment Agent on behalf of each Participant, as
reflected in the records maintained by the Reinvestment Agent. The
ownership of the Shares purchased pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan
shall be reflected on the books of the Company.
(d) Distributions shall be invested by the Reinvestment Agent in
Shares promptly following the payment date with respect to such
Distributions to the extent Shares are available. If sufficient Shares
are not available, Distributions shall be invested on behalf of the
Participants in one or more interest-bearing accounts in Franklin Bank,
N.A., Southfield, Michigan, or in another commercial bank approved by
the Company which is located in the continental United States and has
assets of at least $100,000,000, until Shares are available for
purchase, provided that any Distributions that have not been invested in
Shares within 30 days after such Distributions are made by the Company
shall be returned to Participants.
(e) The allocation of Shares among Participants may result in the
ownership of fractional Shares, computed to four decimal places.
(f) Distributions attributable to Shares purchased on behalf of the
Participants pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan will be reinvested in
additional Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.
(g) No certificates will be issued to a Participant for Shares
purchased on behalf of the Participant pursuant to the Reinvestment
Plan. Participants in the Reinvestment Plan will receive statements of
account in accordance with Paragraph 7 below.
2. Election to Participate. Any stockholder who participates in the
public offering of Shares and who has received a copy of the final prospectus
included in the Company's registration statement on Form S-11 filed with the SEC
may elect to participate in and purchase Shares through the Reinvestment Plan at
any time by written notice to the Company and would not need to receive a
separate prospectus relating solely to the Reinvestment Plan. A person who
becomes a stockholder otherwise than by participating in the public offering of
Shares may purchase Shares through the Reinvestment Plan only after receipt of a
separate prospectus relating solely to the Reinvestment Plan. Participation in
the Reinvestment Plan will commence with the next Distribution made after
receipt of the Participant's notice, provided it is received more than ten days
prior to the last day of the fiscal month or quarter, as the case may be, to
which such Distribution relates. Subject to the preceding sentence, regardless
of the date of such election, a shareholder will become a Participant in the
Reinvestment Plan effective on the first day of the fiscal month (prior to
termination of the offering of Shares) or fiscal quarter (after termination of
the offering of Shares) following such election, and the election will apply to
all Distributions attributable to the fiscal quarter or month (as the case may
be) in which the shareholder makes such written election to participate in the
Reinvestment Plan and to all fiscal quarters or months thereafter.
3. Distribution of Funds. In making purchases for Participants'
accounts, the Reinvestment Agent may commingle Distributions attributable to
Shares owned by Participants in the Reinvestment Plan.
4. Proxy Solicitation. The Reinvestment Agent will distribute to
Participants proxy solicitation material received by it from the Company which
is attributable to Shares held in the Reinvestment Plan. The Reinvestment Agent
will vote any Shares that it holds for the account of a Participant in
accordance with the Participant's written instructions. If a Participant gives a
proxy to person(s) representing the Company covering Shares registered in the
Participant's name, such proxy will be deemed to be an instruction to the
Reinvestment Agent to vote the full Shares in the Participant's account in like
manner. If a Participant does not direct the Reinvestment Agent as to how the
Shares should be voted and does not give a proxy to person(s) representing the
Company covering these Shares, the Reinvestment Agent will not vote said Shares.
5. Absence of Liability. Neither the Company nor the Reinvestment
Agent shall have any responsibility or liability as to the value of the
Company's Shares, any change in the value of the Shares acquired for the
Participant's account, or the rate of return earned on, or the value of, the
interest-bearing accounts, in which Distributions are invested. Neither the
Company nor the Reinvestment Agent shall be liable for any act done in
A-2
<PAGE>
good faith, or for any good faith omission to act, including, without
limitation, any claims of liability (a) arising out of the failure to terminate
a Participant's participation in the Reinvestment Plan upon such Participant's
death prior to receipt of notice in writing of such death and the expiration of
15 days from the date of receipt of such notice and (b) with respect to the time
and the prices at which Shares are purchased for a Participant. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, liability under the federal securities laws cannot be waived.
Similarly, the Company and the Reinvestment Agent have been advised that in the
opinion of certain state securities commissioners, indemnification is also
considered contrary to public policy and therefore unenforceable.
6. Suitability.
(a) Within 60 days prior to the end of each fiscal year, CNL
Securities Corp., the managing dealer of the offering ("CSC"), will mail
to each Participant a participation agreement (the "Participation
Agreement"), in which the Participant will be required to represent that
there has been no material change in the Participant's financial
condition and confirm that the representations made by the Participant
in the Subscription Agreement (a form of which shall be attached to the
Participation Agreement) are true and correct as of the date of the
Participation Agreement, except as noted in the Participation Agreement
or the attached form of Subscription Agreement.
(b) Each Participant will be required to return the executed
Participation Agreement to CSC within 30 days after receipt. In the
event that a Participant fails to respond to CSC or return the completed
Participation Agreement on or before the fifteenth (15th) day after the
beginning of the fiscal year following receipt of the Participation
Agreement, the Participant's Distribution for the first fiscal quarter
of that year will be sent directly to the Participant and no Shares will
be purchased on behalf of the Participant for that fiscal quarter and,
subject to (c) below, any fiscal quarters thereafter, until CSC receives
an executed Participation Agreement from the Participant.
(c) If a Participant fails to return the executed Participation
Agreement to CSC prior to the end of the second fiscal quarter for any
year of the Participant's participation in the Reinvestment Plan, the
Participant's participation in the Reinvestment Plan shall be terminated
in accordance with Paragraph 11 below.
(d) Each Participant shall notify CSC in the event that, at any time
during his participation in the Reinvestment Plan, there is any material
change in the Participant's financial condition or inaccuracy of any
representation under the Subscription Agreement.
(e) For purposes of this Paragraph 6, a material change shall
include any anticipated or actual decrease in net worth or annual gross
income or any other change in circumstances that would cause the
Participant to fail to meet the suitability standards set forth in the
Company's Prospectus.
7. Reports to Participants. Within 60 days after the end of each fiscal
quarter, the Reinvestment Agent will mail to each Participant a statement of
account describing, as to such Participant, the Distributions received during
the quarter, the number of Shares purchased during the quarter, the per Share
purchase price for such Shares, the total administrative charge to such
Participant, and the total Shares purchased on behalf of the Participant
pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan. Each statement shall also advise the
Participant that, in accordance with Paragraph 6(d) hereof, he is required to
notify CSC in the event that there is any material change in his financial
condition or if any representation under the Subscription Agreement becomes
inaccurate.
8. Administrative Charges, Commissions, and Plan Expenses. The Company
shall be responsible for all administrative changes and expenses charged by the
Reinvestment Agent. The administrative charge for each Participant for each
fiscal quarter shall be the lesser of 5% of the amount reinvested for the
Participant or $2.50, with a minimum charge of $.50. Any interest earned on
Distributions will be paid to the Company to defray costs relating to the
Reinvestment Plan. Additionally, in connection with any Shares purchased from
the Company both prior to and after the termination of the public offering of
the Shares, the Company will pay to CSC selling commissions of 7.5%, a marketing
support and due diligence expense reimbursement fee of .5%, and, in the event
that proceeds of the sale of Shares pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan are used
to acquire Properties or to invest in
A-3
<PAGE>
Mortgage Loans, will pay to CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. acquisition fees of 4.5% of
the purchase price of the Shares sold pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan.
9. No Drawing. No Participant shall have any right to draw checks or
drafts against his account or give instructions to the Company or the
Reinvestment Agent except as expressly provided herein.
10. Taxes. Taxable Participants may incur a tax liability for
Distributions made with respect to such Participant's Shares, even though they
have elected not to receive their Distributions in cash but rather to have their
Distributions held in their account under the Reinvestment Plan.
11. Termination.
(a) A Participant may terminate his participation in the
Reinvestment Plan at any time by written notice to the Company. To be
effective for any Distribution, such notice must be received by the
Company at least ten business days prior to the last day of the fiscal
month or quarter to which such Distribution relates.
(b) The Company or the Reinvestment Agent may terminate a
Participant's individual participation in the Reinvestment Plan, and the
Company may terminate the Reinvestment Plan itself at any time by ten
days' prior written notice mailed to a Participant, or to all
Participants, as the case may be, at the address or addresses shown on
their account or such more recent address as a Participant may furnish
to the Company in writing.
(c) After termination of the Reinvestment Plan or termination of a
Participant's participation in the Reinvestment Plan, the Reinvestment
Agent will send to each Participant (i) a statement of account in
accordance with Paragraph 7 hereof, and (ii) a check for (a) the amount
of any Distributions in the Participant's account that have not been
reinvested in Shares, and (b) the value of any fractional Shares
standing to the credit of a Participant's account based on the market
price of the Shares. The record books of the Company will be revised to
reflect the ownership of record of the Participant's full Shares and any
future Distributions made after the effective date of the termination
will be sent directly to the former Participant.

(A Development Stage Maryland Corporation)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 12, 1996 (Date of Inception)
through July 2, 1996
1. Organization:
CNL American Realty Fund, Inc. (the "Company") was organized in Maryland
on June 12, 1996. The Company intends to file a registration statement
on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to
a public offering (the "Offering") of 16,500,000 shares of common stock.
A maximum of 10,000,000 shares may be sold, and if the managing dealer
exercises its option (in the event the offering is oversubscribed) to
sell an additional 5,000,000 shares, a maximum of 15,000,000 shares may
be sold. In addition, the Company plans to register an additional
1,500,000 shares which will be available only to stockholders who elect
to participate in the Company's reinvestment plan (the "Reinvestment
Plan") (Note 3).
The Company intends to use the proceeds from its public offering, after
deducting offering expenses, primarily to acquire restaurant properties
to be leased to operators of selected national and regional fast-food,
family-style and casual dining restaurant chains (the "Restaurant
Chains"). The Company also intends to acquire and lease other types of
net leased properties. The Company may provide financing (the "Mortgage
Loans") for the purchase of buildings, generally by tenants that lease
the underlying land from the Company. To a lesser extent, the Company
intends to offer furniture, fixture and equipment financing ("Secured
Equipment Leases") to operators of Restaurant Chains and other
businesses. Secured Equipment Leases will be funded from the proceeds of
a loan in an amount up to ten percent of gross offering proceeds which
the Company intends to obtain.
The Company is in the development stage and has not begun operations.
2. Income Taxes:
The Company intends to make an election to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal
Revenue Code commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 1996.
If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally
will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it
distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders, so long as it
distributes at least 95 percent of its REIT taxable income. REITs are
subject to a number of other organizational and

2. Income Taxes - Continued:
operational requirements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as
a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income
and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed
income.
3. Reinvestment Plan:
The Company established a Reinvestment Plan pursuant to which
stockholders may elect to have the full amount of their cash
distributions from the Company reinvested in additional shares of common
stock of the Company.
The Offering includes 1,500,000 shares of common stock for purchase
through the Reinvestment Plan.
4. Deferred Offering Costs:
The Company has and will continue to incur certain costs in connection
with the Offering, including filing fees, legal, accounting, marketing
and printing costs and escrow fees, which will be deducted from the
gross proceeds of the Offering. Certain preliminary costs incurred prior
to raising capital have been and will be advanced by an affiliate of the
Company.
5. Capitalization:
At July 2, 1996, the Company was authorized to issue 100,000 shares of
common stock, all of one class, with a par value of $.01 per share. The
Company plans to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the
authorized number of shares of common stock and to authorize the
issuance of two additional classes of stock, preferred stock and excess
stock, to accomplish the Offering.
6. Concentration of Credit Risk:
At July 2, 1996, the Company had cash on deposit in one financial
institution in excess of federally insured levels; however, the Company
has not experienced any losses in such account. The Company limits
investment of cash investments to financial institutions with high
credit standing; therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to
any significant credit risk on cash.

of the assets of the Company.
Amounts due to CNL Fund Advisors, Inc., the sole stockholder of the
Company, totalling $28,328 at July 2, 1996, consisted of expenditures

PRIOR PERFORMANCE TABLES
The information in this Exhibit C contains certain relevant summary
information concerning prior partnerships sponsored by two of the Company's
principals (who also serve as the Chairman of the Board and President of the
Company) and their Affiliates (the "Prior Partnerships") which like the Company,
were formed to invest in restaurant properties leased on a triple-net basis to
operators of national and regional fast-food and familystyle restaurant chains.
A more detailed description of the acquisitions by the Prior
Partnerships is set forth in Part II of the registration statement filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission for this Offering and is available from
the Company upon request, without charge. In addition, upon request to the
Company, the Company will provide, without charge, a copy of the most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for
CNL Income Fund, Ltd., CNL Income Fund II, Ltd., CNL Income Fund III, Ltd., CNL
Income Fund IV, Ltd., CNL Income Fund V, Ltd., CNL Income Fund VI, Ltd., CNL
Income Fund VII, Ltd., CNL Income Fund VIII, Ltd., CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd., CNL
Income Fund X, Ltd., CNL Income Fund XI, Ltd., CNL Income Fund XII, Ltd., CNL

Income Fund XVI, Ltd., CNL Income Fund XVII, Ltd. and CNL Income Fund XVIII,
Ltd., as well as a copy, for a reasonable fee, of the exhibits filed with such
reports.
The investment objectives of the Prior Partnerships (like those of the
Company) generally include preservation and protection of capital, the potential
for increased income and protection against inflation, and potential for capital
appreciation, all through investment in restaurant properties. In addition, the
investment objectives of the Prior Partnerships included making partially
tax-sheltered distributions.
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT CONSTRUE INCLUSION OF THE FOLLOWING TABLES AS
IMPLYING THAT THE COMPANY WILL HAVE RESULTS COMPARABLE TO THOSE REFLECTED IN
SUCH TABLES. DISTRIBUTABLE CASH FLOW, FEDERAL INCOME TAX DEDUCTIONS, OR OTHER
FACTORS COULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOTE THAT, BY
ACQUIRING SHARES IN THE COMPANY, THEY WILL NOT BE ACQUIRING ANY INTEREST IN ANY
PRIOR PARTNERSHIPS.
Description of Tables
The following Tables are included herein:
Table I - Experience in Raising and Investing Funds
Table II - Compensation to Sponsor
Table III - Operating Results of Prior Programs
Table V - Sales or Disposal of Properties
Unless otherwise indicated in the Tables, all information contained in
the Tables is as of December 31, 1995. The following is a brief description of
the Tables:
Table I - Experience in Raising and Investing Funds
Table I presents information on a percentage basis showing the
experience of two of the principals of the Company and their Affiliates in
raising and investing funds for the Prior Partnerships, the offerings of which
closed between December 1986 and December 1995.
C-1
<PAGE>
The Table sets forth information on the offering expenses incurred and
amounts available for investment expressed as a percentage of total dollars
raised. The Table also shows the percentage of property acquisition cost
leveraged, the date the offering commenced, and the time required to raise funds
for investment.
Table II - Compensation to Sponsor
Table II provides information, on a total dollar basis, regarding
amounts and types of compensation paid to the general partners of the Prior
Partnerships.
The Table indicates the total offering proceeds and the portion of such
offering proceeds paid or to be paid to two of the principals of the Company and
their Affiliates in connection with the Prior Partnerships, the offerings of
which closed between December 1986 and December 1995. The Table also shows the
amounts paid to two of the principals of the Company and their Affiliates from
cash generated from operations and from cash generated from sales or refinancing
by each of the Prior Partnerships on a cumulative basis commencing with
inception and ending December 31, 1995.
Table III - Operating Results of Prior Programs
Table III presents a summary of operating results for the period from
inception through December 31, 1995, of the Prior Partnerships, the offerings of
which closed between December 1986 and December 1995.
The Table includes a summary of income or loss of the Prior
Partnerships, which are presented on the basis of generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). (The principal difference between GAAP and the income tax
basis of reporting is that depreciation under the tax basis of reporting is
based upon the rates established by the Accelerated Cost Recovery System
["ACRS"] for property placed in service between January 1, 1981 and December 31,
1986, and the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System ["MACRS"] for property
placed in service after 1986. Use of ACRS usually results in a higher charge
against operations than would be the result if the depreciation rate applied to
property were based on the economic useful life of the property, as required by
GAAP, while use of MACRS usually results in a somewhat lower charge against
operations.) The Table also shows cash generated from operations, which
represents the cash generated from operations of the properties of the Prior
Partnerships, as distinguished from cash generated from other sources (special
items). The section of the Table entitled "Special Items" provides information
relating to cash generated from or used by items which are not directly related
to the operations of the properties of the Prior Partnerships, but rather are
related to items of a partnership nature. These items include proceeds from
capital contributions of limited partners and disbursements made from these
sources of funds, such as syndication and organizational costs, acquisition of
the properties and other costs which are related more to the organization of the
partnership and the acquisition of properties than to the actual operations of
the partnerships.
The Table also presents information pertaining to investment income,
returns of capital on a GAAP basis, cash distributions from operations, sales
and refinancing proceeds expressed in total dollar amounts as well as
distributions and tax results on a per $1,000 investment basis.
Table IV - Results of Completed Programs
Table IV is omitted from this Exhibit C because none of the directors of
the Company or their Affiliates has been involved in completed programs which
made investments similar to those of the Company.
Table V - Sales or Disposal of Properties
Table V provides information regarding the sale or disposal of
properties owned by the Prior Partnerships between December 1986 and December
1995.

</TABLE>
Note 1: The registration statement relating to the offering of units by CNL
Income Fund, Ltd. became effective on April 9, 1986. All income and
expenses include the period from April 9, 1986 to December 31, 1986.
Note 2: Cash generated from operations includes cash received from tenants,
plus distributions from joint ventures, less cash paid for expenses,
plus interest received.
Note 3: Cash distributions presented above as a return of capital on a GAAP
basis represent the amount of cash distributions in excess of
accumulated net income on a GAAP basis. Accumulated net income includes
deductions for depreciation and amortization expense and income from
certain non-cash items. This amount is not required to be presented as
a return of capital except for purposes of this table, and CNL Income
Fund, Ltd. has not treated this amount as a return of capital for any
other purpose, except for amounts described in Note 6 below.
Note 4: CNL Income Fund, Ltd. makes its distributions in the current period
rather than in arrears based on estimated operating results. In cases
where distributions exceed cash from operations in the current period,
once finally determined, subsequent distributions are lowered
accordingly in order to avoid any return of capital. This amount is not
required to be presented as a return of capital except for purposes of
this table, and CNL Income Fund, Ltd. has not treated this amount as a
return of capital for any other purpose, except for amounts described
in Note 6 below.
Note 5: The corporate general partner of CNL Income Fund, Ltd. contributed
$65,000, $7,400 and $120,000 during the years ended December 31, 1991,
1992 and 1994, respectively, in connection with the operations of the
partnership.
Note 6: During the year ended December 31, 1992, CNL Income Fund, Ltd. sold one
of its properties. Of the net sales proceeds distributed to the limited
partners, $823,975 was treated as a return of capital for purposes of
calculating the limited partners' preferred return. In addition,
during the year ended December 31, 1994, CNL Income Fund, Ltd. sold a
property and $861,500 of net sales proceeds distributed to limited
partners was treated as a return of capital for purposes of calculating
the limited partners' preferred return. As a result of these returns
of capital, the amount of the limited partners' adjusted capital
contributions (which generally is the limited partners' capital
contributions, less distributions from the sale of a property that are
considered to be a return of capital) was decreased.
Note 7: Cash generated from operations per this table agrees to cash generated
from operations per the statement of cash flows included in the
financial statements of CNL Income Fund, Ltd.
Note 8: As a result of the partnership's change in investor services agents in
1993, distributions are now declared at the end of each quarter and
paid in the following quarter. Since this table generally presents
distributions on a cash basis (rather than amounts declared),
distributions on a cash basis for 1993 only reflect payments for three
quarters. Distributions declared for the quarter ended December 31,
1993 and 1994, are reflected in the 1994 and 1995 columns,
respectively, for distributions on a cash basis due to the payment of
such distributions in January 1994 and 1995, respectively. As a result
of 1994 and 1995 distributions being presented on a cash basis,
distributions declared and unpaid as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, are
not included in the 1994 and 1995 totals, respectively.

</TABLE>
Note 1: The registration statement relating to the offering of units by CNL
Income Fund II, Ltd. became effective on January 2, 1987. All income and
expenses include the period from January 2, 1987 to December 31, 1987.
Note 2: Cash generated from operations includes cash received from tenants, plus
distributions from joint ventures, less cash paid for expenses, plus
interest received.
Note 3: Cash distributions presented above as a return of capital on a GAAP
basis represent the amount of cash distributions in excess of
accumulated net income on a GAAP basis. Accumulated net income includes
deductions for depreciation and amortization expense and income from
certain non-cash items. This amount is not required to be presented as a
return of capital except for purposes of this table, and CNL Income Fund
II, Ltd. has not treated this amount as a return of capital for any
other purpose.
Note 4: In July 1993, the partnership sold one of its properties and received
net sales proceeds of $746,800. In addition, in 1994, the partnership
sold two additional properties and received net sales proceeds of
$888,210. The sale of one of the properties in 1994 qualified as a
like-kind exchange transaction in accordance with Section 1031 of the
Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no gain was recognized for tax
purposes on the sale of this property. The partnership reinvested
approximately $1,554,000 of the net sales proceeds in three additional
properties. The remaining sales proceeds were used to pay partnership
expenses and to meet other working capital needs.
Note 5: The corporate general partner of CNL Income Fund II, Ltd. contributed
$161,000 during the year ended December 31, 1994, in connection with the
operations of the partnership.
Note 6: Cash generated from operations per this table agrees to cash generated
from operations per the statement of cash flows included in the
financial statements of CNL Income Fund II, Ltd.
Note 7: As a result of the partnership's change in investor services agents in
1993, distributions are now declared at the end of each quarter and paid
in the following quarter. Since this table generally presents
distributions on a cash basis (rather than amounts declared),
distributions on a cash basis for 1993 only reflect payments for three
quarters. Distributions declared for the quarter ended December 31, 1993
and 1994, are reflected in the 1994 and 1995 columns, respectively, for
distributions on a cash basis due to the payment of such distributions
in January 1994 and 1995, respectively. As a result of 1994 and 1995
distributions being presented on a cash basis, distributions declared
and unpaid as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, are not included in the
1994 and 1995 totals, respectively.

</TABLE>
Note 1: The registration statement relating to the offering of units by CNL
Income Fund III, Ltd. became effective on August 10, 1987. All income
and expenses include the period from August 10, 1987 to December 31,
1987.
Note 2: Cash generated from operations includes cash received from tenants, plus
distributions from joint ventures, less cash paid for expenses, plus
interest received.
Note 3: Cash distributions presented above as a return of capital on a GAAP
basis represent the amount of cash distributions in excess of
accumulated net income on a GAAP basis. Accumulated net income includes
deductions for depreciation and amortization expense and income from
certain non-cash items. This amount is not required to be presented as a
return of capital except for purposes of this table, and CNL Income Fund
III, Ltd. has not treated this amount as a return of capital for any
other purpose.
Note 4: CNL Income Fund III, Ltd. makes its distributions in the current period
rather than in arrears based on estimated operating results. In cases
where distributions exceed cash from operations in the current period,
once finally determined, subsequent distributions are lowered
accordingly in order to avoid any return of capital. This amount is not
required to be presented as a return of capital except for purposes of
this table, and CNL Income Fund III, Ltd. has not treated this amount as
a return of capital for any other purpose.
Note 5: The corporate general partner of CNL Income Fund III, Ltd. contributed
$160,000 during the year ended December 31, 1992, in connection with the
operations of the partnership.
Note 6: During the year ended December 31, 1995, CNL Income Fund III, Ltd.
recorded an allowance for loss on land and building of $207,844 for
financial reporting purposes relating to one of its properties. The loss
represents the difference between the property's carrying value and the
estimated net realizable value, based on an anticipated sales price
expected to be received from an unrelated third party.
Note 7: Cash generated from operations per this table agrees to cash generated
from operations per the statement of cash flows included in the
financial statements of CNL Income Fund III, Ltd.
Note 8: As a result of the partnership's change in investor services agents in
1993, distributions are now declared at the end of each quarter and paid
in the following quarter. Since this table generally presents
distributions on a cash basis (rather than amounts declared),
distributions on a cash basis for 1993 only reflect payments for three
quarters. Distributions declared for the quarter ended December 31, 1993
and 1994, are reflected in the 1994 and 1995 columns, respectively, for
distributions on a cash basis due to the payment of such distributions
in January 1994 and 1995, respectively. As a result of 1994 and 1995
distributions being presented on a cash basis, distributions declared
and unpaid as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, are not included in the
1994 and 1995 totals, respectively.

Note 1: The registration statement relating to the offering of units by CNL
Income Fund IV, Ltd. became effective on May 6, 1988. All income and
expenses include the period from May 6, 1988 to December 31, 1988.
Note 2: Cash generated from operations includes cash received from tenants, plus
distributions from joint ventures, less cash paid for expenses, plus
interest received.
Note 3: Cash distributions presented above as a return of capital on a GAAP
basis represent the amount of cash distributions in excess of
accumulated net income on a GAAP basis. Accumulated net income includes
deductions for depreciation and amortization expense and income from
certain non-cash items. This amount is not required to be presented as a
return of capital except for purposes of this table, and CNL Income Fund
IV, Ltd. has not treated this amount as a return of capital for any
other purpose.
Note 4: CNL Income Fund IV, Ltd. makes its distributions in the current period
rather than in arrears based on estimated operating results. In cases
where distributions exceed cash from operations in the current period,
once finally determined, subsequent distributions are lowered
accordingly in order to avoid any return of capital. This amount is not
required to be presented as a return of capital except for purposes of
this table, and CNL Income Fund IV, Ltd. has not treated this amount as
a return of capital for any other purpose.
Note 5: During April 1994, the partnership sold one of its properties for
$712,000. Subsequently, the partnership reinvested $539,794 of the net
sales proceeds in two additional properties. The remaining net sales
proceeds were used by the partnership to meet other working capital
needs of the Partnership. In December 1995, CNL Income Fund IV, Ltd.
sold one of its properties for $520,000 and received net sales proceeds
of $518,650. At December 31, 1995, the net sales proceeds were being
held in an interest bearing escrow account pending the release of funds
by the escrow agent to acquire an additional property or return the
funds to the partnership. In January 1996, CNL Income Fund IV, Ltd.
reinvested the net sales proceeds, along with additional funds, in an
additional property as tenants-in-common with affiliates of its general
partners.
Note 6: The corporate general partner of CNL Income Fund IV, Ltd. contributed
$142,004, $21,000 and $77,500 during the years ended December 31, 1991,
1992 and 1993, respectively, in connection with the operations of the
partnership.
Note 7: Cash generated from operations per this table agrees to cash generated
from operations per the statement of cash flows included in the
financial statements of CNL Income Fund IV, Ltd.
Note 8: As a result of the partnership's change in investor services agents
in 1993, distributions are now declared at the end of each quarter and
paid in the following quarter. Since this table generally presents
distributions on a cash basis (rather than amounts declared),
distributions on a cash basis for 1993 only reflect payments for three
quarters. Distributions declared for the quarter ended December 31, 1993
and 1994, are reflected in the 1994 and 1995 columns, respectively, for
distributions on a cash basis due to the payment of such distributions
in January 1994 and 1995, respectively. As a result of 1994 and 1995
distributions being presented on a cash basis, distributions declared
and unpaid as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, are not included in the
1994 and 1995 totals, respectively.

</TABLE>
Note 1: The registration statement relating to the offering of units by CNL
Income Fund V, Ltd. became effective on December 16, 1988. Activities
through February 1, 1989, were devoted to organization of the
partnership and operations had not begun.
Note 2: Cash generated from operations includes cash received from tenants,
plus distributions from joint ventures, less cash paid for expenses,
plus interest received.
Note 3: Cash distributions presented above as a return of capital on a GAAP
basis represent the amount of cash distributions in excess of
accumulated net income on a GAAP basis. Accumulated net income includes
deductions for depreciation and amortization expense and income from
certain non-cash items. This amount is not required to be presented as a
return of capital except for purposes of this table, and CNL Income Fund
V, Ltd. has not treated this amount as a return of capital for any other
purpose.
Note 4: In August 1995, CNL Income Fund V, Ltd. sold one of its properties to
the tenant and in connection therewith accepted a promissory note in the
principal sum of $1,040,000, collateralized by a mortgage on the
property. The note bears interest at a rate of 10.25% per annum and is
being collected in 59 equal monthly installments of $9,319, with a
balloon payment of $1,006,004 due in July 2000. In accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, the partnership recorded the
sale using the installment method; therefore, the gain on sale of the
property was deferred and is being recognized as income proportionately
as payments under the mortgage note are collected. The partnership
recognized a gain of $1,571 for financial reporting purposes for the
year ended December 31, 1995, and had a deferred gain of $141,641 at
December 31, 1995. The general partners anticipate that payments
collected under the mortgage note will be reinvested in additional
properties or used for other partnership purposes.
Note 5: The corporate general partner of CNL Income Fund V, Ltd. contributed
$45,000 and $31,500 during the years ended December 31, 1991 and 1995,
respectively.
Note 6: Cash generated from operations per this table agrees to cash
generated from operations per the statement of cash flows included in
the financial statements of CNL Income Fund V, Ltd.
Note 7: As a result of the partnership's change in investor services agents
in 1993, distributions are now declared at the end of each quarter and
paid in the following quarter. Since this table generally presents
distributions on a cash basis (rather than amounts declared),
distributions on a cash basis for 1993 only reflect payments for three
quarters. Distributions declared for the quarter ended December 31, 1993
and 1994, are reflected in the 1994 and 1995 columns, respectively, for
distributions on a cash basis due to the payment of such distributions
in January 1994 and 1995, respectively. As a result of 1994 and 1995
distributions being presented on a cash basis, distributions declared
and unpaid as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, are not included in the
1994 and 1995 totals, respectively.

Note 1: Pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, CNL Income Fund VI, Ltd. ("CNL VI") and CNL
Income Fund V, Ltd. each registered for sale $25,000,000 units of
limited partnership interest ("Units"). The offering of Units of CNL
Income Fund V, Ltd. commenced December 16, 1988. Pursuant to the
registration statement, CNL VI's offering of Units could not commence
until the offering of Units of CNL Income Fund V, Ltd. was terminated.
CNL Income Fund V, Ltd. terminated its offering of Units on June 7,
1989, at which time the maximum offering proceeds of $25,000,000 had
been received. Upon the termination of the offering of Units of CNL
Income Fund V, Ltd., CNL VI commenced its offering of Units. Activities
through June 22, 1989, were devoted to organization of the partnership
and operations had not begun.
Note 2: Cash generated from operations includes cash received from tenants, plus
distributions from joint ventures, less cash paid for expenses, plus
interest received.
Note 3: Cash distributions presented above as a return of capital on a GAAP
basis represent the amount of cash distributions in excess of
accumulated net income on a GAAP basis. Accumulated net income includes
deductions for depreciation and amortization expense and income from
certain non-cash items. This amount is not required to be presented as a
return of capital except for purposes of this table, and CNL Income Fund
VI, Ltd. has not treated this amount as a return of capital for any
other purpose.
Note 4: During the year ended December 31, 1994, the partnership sold two of its
properties and received net proceeds of $1,429,481. The sale of these
properties was structured to qualify as like-kind exchange transactions
in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a
result, no gain or loss was recognized for federal income tax purposes.
Subsequent to the sale of these properties, the partnership reinvested
the sales proceeds in two additional properties. In June 1995, CNL
Income Fund VI, Ltd. sold a property and received net sales proceeds of
$899,503. In August 1995, the partnership reinvested $724,612 in an
additional property. In addition, in January 1996, the partnership
reinvested the remaining net sales proceeds in an additional property as
tenants-in-common with affiliates of the general partners.
Note 5: Cash generated from operations per this table agrees to cash generated
from operations per the statement of cash flows included in the
financial statements of CNL Income Fund VI, Ltd.
Note 6: As a result of the partnership's change in investor services agents in
1993, distributions are now declared at the end of each quarter and paid
in the following quarter. Since this table generally presents
distributions on a cash basis (rather than amounts declared),
distributions on a cash basis for 1993 only reflect payments for three
quarters. Distributions declared for the quarter ended December 31, 1993
and 1994, are reflected in the 1994 and 1995 columns, respectively, for
distributions on a cash basis due to the payment of such distributions
in January 1994 and 1995, respectively. As a result of 1994 and 1995
distributions being presented on a cash basis, distributions declared
and unpaid as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, are not included in the
1994 and 1995 totals, respectively.

Note 1: The registration statement relating to the offering of units by CNL
Income Fund VII, Ltd. became effective on January 30, 1990. Activities
through March 8, 1990, were devoted to organization of the partnership
and operations had not begun.
Note 2: Cash generated from operations includes cash received from tenants, plus
distributions from joint ventures, less cash paid for expenses, plus
interest received.
Note 3: Cash distributions presented above as a return of capital on a GAAP
basis represent the amount of cash distributions in excess of
accumulated net income on a GAAP basis. Accumulated net income includes
deductions for depreciation and amortization expense and income from
certain non-cash items. This amount is not required to be presented as a
return of capital except for purposes of this table, and CNL Income Fund
VII, Ltd. has not treated this amount as a return of capital for any
other purpose.
Note 4: On May 19, 1992, one of the partnership's properties was taken by the
State Department of Transportation as a result of condemnation
proceedings, and the partnership received condemnation proceeds of
$700,000. Since this property was held by the partnership for less than
two years and was involuntarily taken in condemnation proceedings, the
partnership has elected to defer a portion of the gain from the sale for
tax purposes and reinvest a majority of the proceeds in other restaurant
properties.
Note 5: In May 1994, the partnership sold one of its properties and received net
sales proceeds of $869,036. Subsequent to the sale of this property, the
partnership used the net sales proceeds to reinvest in two additional
properties or for other partnership purposes.
Note 6: In August 1995, CNL Income Fund VII, Ltd. sold one of its properties to
the tenant and in connection therewith accepted a promissory note in the
principal sum of $1,160,000, collateralized by a mortgage on the
property. The note bears interest at a rate of 10.25% per annum and is
being collected in 59 equal monthly installments of $10,395, with a
balloon payment of $1,106,657 due in July 2000. In accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, the partnership recorded the
sale using the installment method; therefore, the gain on sale of the
property was deferred and is being recognized as income proportionately
as payments under the mortgage note are being collected. The partnership
recognized a gain of $1,421 for financial reporting purposes for the
year ended December 31, 1995, and had a deferred gain of $128,065 at
December 31, 1995. The general partners anticipate that payments
collected under the mortgage note will be reinvested in additional
properties or used for other partnership purposes. In addition, in
December 1995, CNL Income Fund VII, Ltd. sold one of its properties to
the subtenant of the property and in connection therewith accepted a
promissory note in the principal sum of $240,000, collateralized by a
mortgage on the property. The note bears interest at a rate of 10% per
annum and is being collected in 119 equal installments of $2,106, with a
balloon payment of $218,252 due December 2005. Proceeds received from
payments collected under the mortgage note are expected to be
distributed to the limited partners or used for other partnership
purposes.
Note 7: During the year ended December 31, 1995, the building located on one of
the partnership's properties was demolished. As a result, the
undepreciated cost of the building was charged to income for financial
reporting purposes.

Note 8: Cash generated from operations per this table agrees to cash generated
from operations per the statement of cash flows included in the
financial statements of CNL Income Fund VII, Ltd.
Note 9: As a result of the partnership's change in investor services agents in
1993, distributions are now declared at the end of each quarter and paid
in the following quarter. Since this table generally presents
distributions on a cash basis (rather than amounts declared),
distributions on a cash basis for 1993 only reflect payments for three
quarters. Distributions declared for the quarter ended December 31, 1993
and 1994, are reflected in the 1994 and 1995 columns, respectively, for
distributions on a cash basis due to the payment of such distributions
in January 1994 and 1995, respectively. As a result of 1994 and 1995
distributions being presented on a cash basis, distributions declared
and unpaid as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, are not included in the
1994 and 1995 totals, respectively.

Note 1: Pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, CNL Income Fund VIII, Ltd. ("CNL VIII") and CNL
Income Fund VII, Ltd. each registered for sale $30,000,000 units of
limited partnership interests ("Units"). The offering of Units of CNL
Income Fund VII, Ltd. commenced January 30, 1990. Pursuant to the
registration statement, CNL VIII's offering of Units could not commence
until the offering of Units of CNL Income Fund VII, Ltd. was terminated.
CNL Income Fund VII, Ltd. terminated its offering of Units on August 1,
1990, at which time the maximum offering proceeds of $30,000,000 had
been received. Upon the termination of the offering of Units of CNL
Income Fund VII, Ltd., CNL VIII commenced its offering of Units.
Activities through August 22, 1990, were devoted to organization of the
partnership and operations had not begun.
Note 2: Cash generated from operations includes cash received from tenants, plus
distributions from joint ventures, less cash paid for expenses, plus
interest received.
Note 3: Cash distributions presented as a return of capital on a GAAP basis
represent the amount of cash distributions in excess of accumulated net
income on a GAAP basis. Accumulated net income includes deductions for
depreciation and amortization expense and income from certain non-cash
items. This amount is not required to be presented as a return of
capital except for purposes of this table, and CNL Income Fund VIII,
Ltd. has not treated this amount as a return of capital for any other
purpose.
Note 4: During 1991, two properties ceased operations and were sold to third
parties. The net proceeds from the sales were $347,987. The partnership
used the proceeds to renovate one restaurant property and to make
certain additions or improvements to other restaurant properties.
Note 5: In July 1995, CNL Income Fund VIII, Ltd. sold one of its properties and
received net sales proceeds of $1,184,865. In September 1995, the
partnership reinvested $950,663 of the net sales proceeds in an
additional property. The remaining net sales proceeds are expected to be
used to purchase an additional property or for other partnership
purposes.
Note 6: In December 1995, CNL Income Fund VIII, Ltd. sold two of its properties
to the subtenant of the properties and in connection therewith accepted
two promissory notes in the principal sums totalling $460,000,
collateralized by mortgages on the properties. The notes bear interest
at a rate of 10% per annum and are being collected in 119 equal

Note 8: As a result of the partnership's change in investor services agents
in 1993, distributions are now declared at the end of each quarter and

distributions on a cash basis (rather than amounts declared),
distributions on a cash basis for 1993 only reflect payments for three
quarters. Distributions declared for the quarter ended December 31, 1993
and 1994, are reflected in the 1994 and 1995 columns, respectively, for
distributions on a cash basis due to the payment of such distributions
in January 1994 and 1995, respectively. As a result of 1994 and 1995
distributions being presented on a cash basis, distributions declared

Note 1: Pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, CNL Income Fund X, Ltd. ("CNL X")
and CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd. each registered for sale $35,000,000 units
of limited partnership interests ("Units"). The offering of Units of CNL
Income Fund IX, Ltd. commenced March 20, 1991. Pursuant to the
registration statement, CNL X's offering of Units could not commence
until the offering of Units of CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd. was terminated.
CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd. terminated its offering of Units on September
6, 1991, at which time the maximum offering proceeds of $35,000,000 had
been received. Upon the termination of the offering of Units of CNL
Income Fund IX, Ltd., CNL X commenced its offering of Units. Activities
through September 24, 1991, were devoted to organization of the
partnership and operations had not begun.
Note 2: Cash generated from operations includes cash received from tenants,
plus distributions from joint ventures, less cash paid for expenses,
plus interest received.
Note 3: Cash distributions presented above as a return of capital on a GAAP
basis represent the amount of cash distributions in excess of
accumulated net income on a GAAP basis. Accumulated net income includes
deductions for depreciation and amortization expense and income from
certain non-cash items. This amount is not required to be presented as a
return of capital except for purposes of this table, and CNL Income Fund
X, Ltd. has not treated this amount as a return of capital for any other
purpose.
Note 4: In August 1995, CNL Income Fund X, Ltd. sold one of its properties
and received net sales proceeds of $1,050,186. In September 1995, the
partnership reinvested $928,122 in an additional property. In addition,
in January 1996, the partnership reinvested the remaining net sales
proceeds in an additional property as tenants-in-common with affiliates
of the general partners.
Note 5: Cash generated from operations per this table agrees to cash
generated from operations per the statement of cash flows included in
the financial statements of CNL Income Fund X, Ltd.
Note 6: As a result of the partnership's change in investor services agents
in 1993, distributions are now declared at the end of each quarter and
paid in the following quarter. Since this table generally presents
distributions on a cash basis (rather than amounts declared),
distributions on a cash basis for 1993 only reflect payments for three
quarters. Distributions declared for the quarter ended December 31, 1993
and 1994, are reflected in the 1994 and 1995 columns, respectively, for
distributions on a cash basis due to the payment of such distributions
in January 1994 and 1995, respectively. As a result of 1994 and 1995
distributions being presented on a cash basis, distributions declared
and unpaid as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, are not included in the
1994 and 1995 totals, respectively.

Note 1: The registration statement relating to the offering of Units by CNL
Income Fund XI, Ltd. became effective on March 12, 1992. Activities
through April 22, 1992, were devoted to organization of the partnership
and operations had not begun.
Note 2: Cash generated from operations includes cash received from tenants,
plus distributions from joint ventures, less cash paid for expenses,
plus interest received.
Note 3: Cash distributions presented above as a return of capital on a GAAP
basis represent the amount of cash distributions in excess of
accumulated net income on a GAAP basis. Accumulated net income includes
deductions for depreciation and amortization expense and income from
certain non-cash items. This amount is not required to be presented as a
return of capital except for purposes of this table, and CNL Income Fund
XI, Ltd. has not treated this amount as a return of capital for any
other purpose.
Note 4: Cash generated from operations per this table agrees to cash
generated from operations per the statement of cash flows included in
the financial statements of CNL Income Fund XI, Ltd.
Note 5: As a result of the partnership's change in investor services agents
in 1993, distributions are now declared at the end of each quarter and
paid in the following quarter. Since this table generally presents
distributions on a cash basis (rather than amounts declared),
distributions on a cash basis for 1993 only reflect payments for three
quarters. Distributions declared for the quarter ended December 31, 1993
and 1994, are reflected in the 1994 and 1995 columns, respectively, for
distributions on a cash basis due to the payment of such distributions
in January 1994 and 1995, respectively. As a result of 1994 and 1995
distributions being presented on a cash basis, distributions declared
and unpaid as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, are not included in the
1994 and 1995 totals, respectively.

Note 1: Pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, CNL Income Fund XII, Ltd. ("CNL XII") and CNL
Income Fund XI, Ltd. each registered for sale $40,000,000 units of
limited partnership interests ("Units"). The offering of Units of CNL
Income Fund XI, Ltd. commenced March 12, 1992. Pursuant to the
registration statement, CNL XII could not commence until the offering of
Units of CNL Income Fund XI, Ltd. was terminated. CNL Income Fund XI,
Ltd. terminated its offering of Units on September 28, 1992, at which
time the maximum offering proceeds of $40,000,000 had been received.
Upon the termination of the offering of Units of CNL Income Fund XI,
Ltd., CNL XII commenced its offering of Units. Activities through
October 8, 1992, were devoted to organization of the partnership and
operations had not begun.
Note 2: Cash generated from operations includes cash received from tenants, plus
distributions from joint ventures, less cash paid for expenses, plus
interest received.
Note 3: Cash distributions presented above as a return of capital on a GAAP
basis represent the amount of cash distributions in excess of
accumulated net income on a GAAP basis. Accumulated net income includes
deductions for depreciation and amortization expense and income from
certain non-cash items. This amount is not required to be presented as a
return of capital except for purposes of this table, and CNL Income Fund
XII, Ltd. has not treated this amount as a return of capital for any
other purpose.
Note 4: CNL Income Fund XII, Ltd. makes its distributions in the current period
rather than in arrears based on estimated operating results. In cases
where distributions exceed cash from operations in the current period,
once finally determined, subsequent distributions are lowered
accordingly in order to avoid any return of capital. This amount is not
required to be presented as a return of capital except for purposes of
this table, and CNL Income Fund XII, Ltd. has not treated this amount as
a return of capital for any other purpose.
Note 5: Cash generated from operations per this table agrees to cash generated
from operations per the statement of cash flows included in the
financial statements of CNL Income Fund XII, Ltd.
Note 6: As a result of the partnership's change in investor services agents in
1993, distributions are now declared at the end of each quarter and paid
in the following quarter. Since this table generally presents
distributions on a cash basis (rather than amounts declared),
distributions on a cash basis for 1993 only reflect payments for three

and 1994, are reflected in the 1994 and 1995 columns, respectively, for

Note 1: The registration statement relating to the offering of Units by CNL
Income Fund XIII, Ltd. became effective on March 17, 1993. Activities
through April 15, 1993, were devoted to organization of the partnership
and operations had not begun.
Note 2: Cash generated from operations includes cash received from tenants, plus
distributions from joint ventures, less cash paid for expenses, plus
interest received.
Note 3: Cash generated from operations per this table agrees to cash generated
from operations per the statement of cash flows included in the
financial statements of CNL Income Fund XIII, Ltd.
Note 4: During 1995, the partnership sold one of its properties to a tenant for
its original purchase price, excluding acquisition fees and
miscellaneous acquisition expenses. The net sales proceeds were used to
acquire an additional property. As a result of this transaction, the
partnership recognized a loss for financial reporting purposes of
$29,560 primarily due to acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition
expenses the partnership had allocated to the property and due to the
accrued rental income relating to future scheduled rent increases that
the partnership had recorded and reversed at the time of sale.
Note 5: As a result of the partnership's change in investor services agents in
1993, distributions are now declared at the end of each quarter and paid
in the following quarter. Since this table generally presents
distributions on a cash basis (rather than amounts declared),
distributions on a cash basis for 1993 only reflect payments for three
quarters. Distributions declared for the quarter ended December 31, 1993
and 1994, are reflected in the 1994 and 1995 columns, respectively, for
distributions on a cash basis due to the payment of such distributions

Note 1: Pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, CNL Income Fund XIV, Ltd. ("CNL XIV") and CNL
Income Fund XIII, Ltd. each registered for sale $40,000,000 units of
limited partnership interests ("Units"). The offering of Units of CNL
Income Fund XIII, Ltd. commenced March 17, 1993. Pursuant to the
registration statement, CNL XIV could not commence until the offering of
Units of CNL Income Fund XIII, Ltd. was terminated. CNL Income Fund
XIII, Ltd. terminated its offering of Units on August 26, 1993, at which
time the maximum offering proceeds of $40,000,000 had been received.
Upon the termination of the offering of Units of CNL Income Fund XIII,
Ltd., CNL XIV commenced its offering of Units. Activities through
September 13, 1993, were devoted to organization of the partnership and
operations had not begun.
Note 2: Cash generated from operations includes cash received from tenants, plus
distributions from joint ventures, less cash paid for expenses, plus
interest received.
Note 3: Cash generated from operations per this table agrees to cash generated
from operations per the statement of cash flows included in the
financial statements of CNL Income Fund XIV, Ltd.
Note 4: During 1995, the partnership sold two of its properties to a tenant for
its original purchase price, excluding acquisition fees and
miscellaneous acquisition expenses. The net sales proceeds were used to
acquire two additional properties. As a result of these transactions,
the partnership recognized a loss for financial reporting purposes of
$66,518 primarily due to acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition
expenses the partnership had allocated to the property and due to the
accrued rental income relating to future scheduled rent increases that
the partnership had recorded and reversed at the time of sale.
Note 5: As a result of the partnership's change in investor services agents in
1993, distributions are now declared at the end of each quarter and paid
in the following quarter. Since this table generally presents
distributions on a cash basis (rather than amounts declared),
distributions on a cash basis for 1993 only reflect payments for three
quarters. Distributions declared for the quarter ended December 31, 1993
and 1994, are reflected in the 1994 and 1995 columns, respectively, for
distributions on a cash basis due to the payment of such distributions
in January 1994 and 1995, respectively. As a result of 1994 and 1995
distributions being presented on a cash basis, distributions declared
and unpaid as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, are not included in the
1994 and 1995 totals, respectively.

will promptly notify California and Florida investors if the Company so elects
to extend the offering, and such investors must exercise their right to withdraw
within ten (10) days of such notice by delivering written notice to the Company
of their intention to exercise such right. The subscription funds of withdrawing
California and Florida investors will be promptly returned along with such
investor's pro rata share of interest earned thereon net of any escrow fees

knowledge and belief is true, correct, and complete, including, but not limited
to, the number shown above as the Subscriber's taxpayer identification number;

interest or dividends or the Internal Revenue Service has notified the
subscriber that the Subscriber is no longer subject to backup withholding under
Section 3406(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and (c)

Item 33. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Pursuant to Maryland corporate law and the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, the Company is required to indemnify and hold harmless a present
or former Director, officer, Advisor, or Affiliate and may indemnify and hold
harmless a present or former employee or agent of the Company (the "Indemnitee")
against any or all losses or liabilities reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee
in connection with or by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted to
be performed on behalf of the Company while a Director, officer, Advisor,
Affiliate, employee, or agent and in such capacity, provided, that the
Indemnitee has determined, in good faith, that the act or omission which caused
the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company. The Company will
not indemnify or hold harmless the Indemnitee if: (i) the loss or liability was
the result of negligence or misconduct, or if the Indemnitee is an Independent
Director, the loss or liability was the result of gross negligence or willful
misconduct, (ii) the act or omission was material to the loss or liability and
was committed in bad faith or was the result of active or deliberate dishonesty,
(iii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal
II-1
<PAGE>
benefit in money, property, or services, (iv) in the case of any criminal
proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or
omission was unlawful, or (v) in a proceeding by or in the right of the Company,
the Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company. In
addition, the Company will not provide indemnification for any loss or liability
arising from an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless one
or more of the following conditions are met: (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 violations of securities laws.
Pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation, the Company is required to pay or
reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by a present or former Director, officer,
Advisor or Affiliate and may pay or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by
any other Indemnitee in advance of final disposition of a proceeding if the
following are satisfied: (i) the Indemnitee was made a party to the proceeding
by reasons of his or her service as a Director, officer, Advisor, Affiliate,
employee or agent of the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee provides the Company with
written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the
standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized
by the Articles of Incorporation, (iii) the Indemnitee provides the Company with
a written agreement to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company,
together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately
determined that the Indemnitee did not comply with the requisite standard of
conduct, and (iv) the legal proceeding was initiated by a third party who is not
a stockholder or, if by a stockholder of the Company acting in his or her
capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation further provide that any
indemnification, payment, or reimbursement of the expenses permitted by the
Articles of Incorporation will be furnished in accordance with the procedures in
Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law.
Any indemnification may be paid only out of Net Assets of the
Company, and no portion may be recoverable from the stockholders.
The Company will enter into indemnification agreements with each of
the Company's officers and Directors. The indemnification agreements will
require, among other things, that the Company indemnify its officers and
Directors to the fullest extent permitted by law, and advance to the officers
and Directors all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is
subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted. In accordance
with this agreement, the Company must indemnify and advance all expenses
incurred by officers and Directors seeking to enforce their rights under the
indemnification agreements.

Item 36. Undertakings.
The registrant undertakes (a) to file any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) as post-effective amendments to this registration statement,
(b) during any period in which offers or sales are being made, to file a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement (i) to reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement, and (ii) to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement, (c) that, for the purpose of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each
such post-effective amendment may be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof, (d)
that all post-effective amendments will comply with the applicable forms, rules
and regulations of the Commission in effect at the time such post-effective
amendments are filed, and (e) to remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
The registrant undertakes to send to each stockholder, at least on an
annual basis, a detailed statement of any transactions with the Advisor or its
Affiliates, and of fees, commissions, compensation, and other benefits paid or
accrued to the Advisor or its Affiliates, for the fiscal year completed, showing
the amount paid or accrued to each recipient and the services performed.
The registrant undertakes to provide to the stockholders the
financial statements required by Form 10-K for the first full fiscal year of
operations.
The registrant undertakes to file a sticker supplement pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(3) under the Act during the distribution period describing each
property not identified in the Prospectus at such time as there arises a
reasonable probability that such property will be acquired and to consolidate
all such stickers into a post-effective amendment filed at least once every
three months, with the information contained in such amendment provided
simultaneously to the existing stockholders. Each sticker supplement will
disclose all compensation and fees received by the Advisor and its Affiliates in
connection with any such acquisition. The post-effective amendment
____________________________________
* To be filed by amendment.
** Included in electronic filing via EDGAR only.
II-4
<PAGE>
will include audited financial statements meeting the requirements of Rule 3-14
of Registration S-X only for properties acquired during the distribution period.
The registrant also undertakes to file, after the end of the
distribution period, a current report on Form 8-K containing the financial
statements and any additional information required by Rule 3-14 of Regulation
S-X, to reflect each commitment (i.e., the signing of a binding purchase
agreement) made after the end of the distribution period involving the use of
10% or more (on a cumulative basis) of the net proceeds of the offering and to
provide the information contained in such report to the stockholders at least
once each quarter after the distribution period of the offering has ended.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers, and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any such action, suit, or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that (a) for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information
omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement
in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the
registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act
shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was
declared effective, and (b) for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form
of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

of one or more Shares pursuant to a telephonic or other oral
subscription where representatives of such Participating Broker execute
the subscription agreement relating to such Shares, and the subscription
is rescinded as to one or more of the Shares covered by such
subscription, the Company shall decrease the next payment of commissions
or other compensation otherwise payable to the Managing Dealer by the
Company under this Agreement by an amount equal to the commission rate
established in Paragraph 4.1 of this Agreement, multiplied by the number
of Shares as to which the subscription is rescinded. In the event that
no payment of commissions or other compensation is due to the Managing
Dealer after such withdrawal occurs, the Managing Dealer shall pay the
amount specified in the preceding sentence to the Company within ten
(10) days following receipt of notice by the Managing Dealer from the
Company stating the amount owed as a result of rescinded subscriptions.
3.4 Suitability and Minimum Purchase Requirements.
(a) The Managing Dealer will use every reasonable effort, to the
extent it sells Shares to investors, to assure that any such Shares are
sold only to investors who:
-3-

minimum income and net worth standard established by the Company,
and minimum purchase requirements set forth in the Registration
Statement;
(ii) can reasonably benefit from the Company based on the
prospective investor's overall investment objectives and
portfolio structure;
(iii) is able to bear the economic risk of the investment
based on the prospective investor's overall financial situation;
and
(iv) has apparent understanding of: (A) the fundamental
risks of the investment; (B) the risk that the prospective
investor may lose the entire investment; (C) the lack of
liquidity of the Shares; (D) the restrictions on transferability
of the Shares; (E) the background and qualifications of the
officers and directors of CNL Fund Advisors, Inc., the advisor to
the Company (the "Advisor"); and (F) the tax consequences of an
investment in the Shares.
(b) The Managing Dealer will make the determinations required to
be made by it pursuant to Paragraph 3.4(a) above based on information it
has obtained from a prospective investor, including, at a minimum, but
not limited to, the prospective investor's age, investment objectives,
investment experience, income, net worth, financial situation, other
investments of the prospective investor, as well as any other pertinent
factors deemed by the Managing Dealer to be relevant.
(c) The Managing Dealer shall maintain such records evidencing
compliance with the determination of the investor suitability standards
and minimum purchase requirements set forth in the Registration
Statement, as required by Paragraphs 3.4(a) and 3.4(b) above for a
period of not less than six years, or for such greater time period as
shall comply with all applicable federal, state and other regulatory
requirements.
(d) In addition to the foregoing, the Managing Dealer shall
comply fully with all the applicable provisions of the NASD Rules of
Fair Practice and the following provisions:
(i) the Managing Dealer shall have reasonable grounds to
believe, based upon information provided by the investor
concerning his investment objectives, other investments,
financial situation and needs, and upon any other information
known by the Managing Dealer, that (A) each investor to whom the
Managing Dealer sells Shares is or will be in a financial
position appropriate to enable him to realize to a significant
extent the benefits (including tax benefits) of an investment in
the Shares, (B) each investor to whom the Managing Dealer sells
Shares has a fair market net worth sufficient to sustain the
risks inherent in an investment in the Shares (including
potential loss and lack of liquidity), and (C) the Shares
otherwise are or will be a suitable investment for each investor
to whom the Managing Dealer sells Shares, and the Managing Dealer
shall maintain files disclosing the basis upon which the
determination of suitability was made;
(ii) the Managing Dealer shall not execute any transaction
involving the purchase of Shares in a discretionary account
without prior written approval of the transaction by the
investor;
-4-
<PAGE>
(iii) the Managing Dealer shall have reasonable grounds to
believe, based upon the information made available to it, that
all material facts are adequate and accurately disclosed in the
Registration Statement and provide a basis for evaluating the
Shares;
(iv) in making the determination set forth in item (iii)
above, the Managing Dealer shall evaluate items of compensation,
properties, tax aspects, financial stability and experience of
the sponsor, conflicts of interest and risk factors, and any
other information deemed pertinent by it; and
(v) prior to executing a purchase transaction in the
Shares, the Managing Dealer shall have informed the prospective
investor of all pertinent facts relating to the liquidity and
marketability of the Shares.
(e) The Managing Dealer shall comply with the requirements for
determining the suitability of investors who elect to participate in the
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Reinvestment Plan") in accordance with
the procedure set forth in Paragraph 6 of such Reinvestment Plan in the
form of Exhibit A to the Prospectus.
3.5 Sales Literature. The Managing Dealer shall use and distribute in
conjunction with the offer and sale of any Shares only the Prospectus and such
sales literature and advertising as shall have been previously approved in
writing by the Company.
3.6 Jurisdictions. The Managing Dealer shall cause Shares to be offered
and sold only in those jurisdictions specified in writing by the Company for
whose account Shares are then offered for sale, and such list of jurisdictions
shall be updated by the Company as additional states are added. The Company
shall specify only such jurisdictions in which the offering and sale of its
Shares has been authorized by appropriate State Regulatory Authorities. No
Shares shall be offered or sold for the account of the Company in any other
states.
3.7 Escrow. All funds received by the Managing Dealer for the sale of
Shares shall be deposited in an escrow account established by the Company at
SouthTrust Asset Management Company of Florida, N.A. (the "Escrow Agent"), by
the close of the first business day following receipt of such funds by the
Managing Dealer. Such escrow account shall be denominated "ESCROW ACCOUNT FOR
THE BENEFIT OF SUBSCRIBERS FOR COMMON STOCK OF CNL AMERICAN REALTY FUND, INC."
Until such time (if any) as the funds held in escrow are deliverable to the
Company pursuant to the Escrow Agreement between the Company and the Escrow
Agent, the Managing Dealer shall, and shall cause Participating Brokers to,
instruct subscribers to make checks for subscriptions payable to the order of
"SOUTHTRUST ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY OF FLORIDA, N.A., ESCROW AGENT," and shall
return checks made payable to another party to the Participating Broker or
subscriber who submitted the check. Thereafter, checks may be made payable to
either the Escrow Agent or the Company. The Managing Dealer may authorize
certain Participating Brokers which are "$25,000 broker-dealers" to instruct
their customers to make their checks for Shares subscribed for payable directly
to the Participating Broker. In such case, the Soliciting Dealer will collect
the proceeds of the subscribers' checks and issue a check made payable to the
order of the Escrow Agent for the aggregate amount of the subscription proceeds.
3.8 Right to Increase Offering. The Managing Dealer, at any time and
from time to time prior to the expiration of the Offering Period, may increase
the aggregate offering price and the number of
-5-
<PAGE>
Shares it has the right to sell under this Agreement from 10,000,000 Shares
($100,000,000) to up to 15,000,000 Shares ($150,000,000). Any such increase may
be made in whole or in part. An additional 1,500,000 Shares ($15,000,000) may be
sold to shareholders of the Company who receive a copy of the Prospectus and who
purchase Shares through the Reinvestment Plan.
SECTION 4
COMPENSATION
4.1 Commissions.
(a) The Company shall pay to the Managing Dealer, as compensation
for all services to be rendered by the Managing Dealer pursuant to this
Agreement, a commission equal to seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of
the selling price of each Share for which a sale is completed,
regardless of whether such Share is sold by the Managing Dealer or a
Participating Broker; provided, however, that the Company will pay
reduced commissions or may eliminate commissions on certain sales of
Shares, including the reduction or elimination of commissions in
accordance with, and on the terms set forth in, the Prospectus and the
following paragraph of this Paragraph 4.1, which reduction or
elimination of commissions will not change the net proceeds to the
Company. Shareholders who elect to participate in the Reinvestment Plan
will be charged commissions on Shares purchased for their accounts on
the same basis as investors who otherwise purchase Shares in the
Offering.
(b) A registered principal or representative of the Managing
Dealer or a Participating Broker, employees, officers, and directors of
the Company or the Advisor, any of their Affiliates (and the families of
any of the foregoing persons), and any Plan (as defined in the
Prospectus) established exclusively for the benefit of such persons or
entities may purchase Shares net of 7% commissions, at a per Share
purchase price of $9.30. In addition, clients of an investment adviser
registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, who
have been advised by such adviser on an ongoing basis regarding
investments other than in the Company, and who are not being charged by
such adviser or its Affiliates, through payment of commissions or
otherwise, for the advice rendered by such adviser in connection with
the purchase of the Shares, may purchase the Shares net of commissions.
4.2 Marketing Support and Due Diligence. The Company shall pay to the
Managing Dealer a nonaccountable fee for expenses incurred in selling and
marketing the Shares and for bona fide expenses incurred in connection with due
diligence activities. This marketing support and due diligence expense
reimbursement fee shall be equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the
selling price of each Share for which a sale is completed, regardless of whether
such Share is sold by the Managing Dealer or a Participating Broker. All due
diligence expense reimbursements shall be paid by the Managing Dealer from this
fee.
4.3 Completed Sale.
(a) A sale of a Share shall be deemed to be completed under
Paragraph 4.1 if and only if (i) the Company has received a properly
completed and executed subscription agreement, together with payment of
the full purchase price of each purchased Share, from or, in accordance
-6-
<PAGE>
with Paragraph 3.3(a), on behalf of an investor who satisfies the
applicable suitability standards and minimum purchase requirements set
forth in the Registration Statement as determined by the Managing Dealer
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) the Company
has accepted such subscription, and (iii) such investor has been
admitted as a shareholder of the Company.
(b) The Managing Dealer hereby acknowledges and agrees that:
(i) the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may
accept or reject any subscription, in whole or in part, for any
reason whatsoever, and no commission will be paid to the Managing
Dealer with respect to that portion of any subscription which is
rejected;
(ii) unless, within one year after the initial date of the
Prospectus, subscriptions for an aggregate of at least 150,000
Shares have been received and accepted (exclusive of
subscriptions from: (A) Iowa, Minnesota, New York and Ohio
investors, unless subscriptions for at least 250,000 Shares are
received and accepted from all investors; (B) Pennsylvania
investors, unless subscriptions for at least 825,000 Shares are
received and accepted from all investors; (C) investors who
telephonically or orally subscribe for Shares, but only if
payment for such subscriptions has not been on deposit in the
escrow account of the Company for at least 15 days; and (D)
investors who have not received a prospectus at least five
business days prior to the determination of the number of
available Shares to be released from escrow as evidenced by the
date of execution of such investor's subscription agreement), no
subscriber will be admitted to the Company, and no commission
will be paid to the Managing Dealer pursuant to Paragraph 4.1 for
sales of Shares, even upon subscriptions that initially were
accepted; and
(iii) no commission will be paid to the Managing Dealer
prior to acceptance by the Company of subscriptions for the
minimum number of Shares specified in subparagraph (ii) above.
4.4 Payment. The commissions specified in Paragraph 4.1 for the sale of
any Share shall be payable in cash by the Company, as specified in Paragraph
4.1, no later than the end of the calendar month in which the investor
subscribing for the Share is admitted as a shareholder of the Company. Investors
shall first be admitted as shareholders of the Company within 30 days after
acceptance by the Company of subscriptions for at least 150,000 Shares
(exclusive of subscriptions from (a) Iowa, Minnesota, New York and Ohio
investors, unless subscriptions for at least 250,000 Shares are received and
accepted from all investors, (b) Pennsylvania investors, unless subscriptions
for at least 825,000 Shares are received and accepted from all investors, (c)
investors who telephonically or orally subscribe for Shares, but only if payment
for such subscriptions have not been on deposit in the escrow account of the
Company for at least 15 days), and (d) investors who do not telephonically
subscribe for Shares and who shall have executed a subscription agreement and
acknowledged receipt of a Prospectus less than five full business days prior to
the proposed admission date. Thereafter, investors whose subscriptions for
Shares are accepted shall be admitted no later than the end of the calendar
month in which such subscriptions are accepted. The Company will accept or
reject all subscriptions within 30 days after receipt. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Company pays any
commission to the Managing Dealer for sale by a Participating Broker of one or
more Shares and the subscription is rescinded as to one or more of the Shares
covered by such subscription, the Company
-7-
<PAGE>
shall decrease the next payment of commissions or other compensation otherwise
payable to the Managing Dealer by the Company under this Agreement by an amount
equal to the commission rate established in Paragraph 4.1 of this Agreement,
multiplied by the number of Shares as to which the subscription is rescinded. In
the event that no payment of commissions or other compensation is due to the
Managing Dealer after such withdrawal occurs, the Managing Dealer shall pay the
amount specified in the preceding sentence to the Company within ten (10) days
following receipt of notice by the Managing Dealer from the Company stating the
amount owed as a result of rescinded subscriptions.
4.5 Sales Incentives. The Company or its Affiliates also may provide
incentive items for registered representatives of the Managing Dealer and the
Participating Brokers, which in no event shall exceed an aggregate of $100 per
annum per participating salesperson. In the event other incentives are provided
to registered representatives of the Managing Dealer or the Participating
Brokers, they will only be paid in cash and such payments will only be made to
the Managing Dealer or the Participating Brokers rather than their registered
representatives. Before any such sales incentive program is offered, the Company
agrees to obtain prior approval of the terms of such program from the NASD.
4.6 Wholesaling Compensation. The Company hereby acknowledges that the
Managing Dealer may pay each of its wholesalers 1% of the gross sales price
(computed at $10.00 per Share) of all Shares sold in such wholesaler's
geographic territory (as the same may be established from time to time by
agreement between the Managing Dealer and one or more of its wholesalers) but
not in excess, in the aggregate, of 1% of the gross sales price (computed at
$10.00 per Share) of all Shares sold, or a maximum of 16,500,000 Shares. The
Company and the Managing Dealer hereby agree that the Company shall have no
obligation to pay any portion of such amounts. The Company hereby agrees to
reimburse reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that such wholesalers incur in
connection with the distribution of its Shares from and after such time as at
least 250,000 Shares have been sold for the account of the Company; provided,
however, that in no event will the Managing Dealer or the Company pay any
amounts to any person if (i) such amounts constitute "underwriting
compensation," and (ii) payment of such amounts could cause total underwriting
compensation paid to underwriters, broker-dealers, or affiliates thereof from
any source, and deemed to be in connection with or related to the distribution
of the Offering, to exceed then-applicable compensation NASD guidelines.
4.7 Soliciting Dealer Servicing Fee. The Company shall pay to the
Managing Dealer an annual servicing fee (the "Soliciting Dealer Servicing Fee")
of .20% of the Company's Invested Capital (as defined below) on December 31 of
each year, commencing in the year following the year in which the Offering
terminates. The Managing Dealer may reallow all or a portion of the Soliciting
Dealer Servicing Fee to Participating Brokers whose clients hold Shares on
December 31 of the applicable year. The Company may also pay the Soliciting
Dealer Servicing Fee directly to any Participating Broker exempt from
registration as a broker-dealer whose clients hold Shares on December 31 of the
applicable year. In general, Invested Capital is the amount of cash contributed
by shareholders to the Company, reduced by certain prior capital distributions
to the shareholders from the sale of Company's properties. The Soliciting Dealer
Servicing Fee will terminate as of the beginning of any year in which the
Company is liquidated or the Shares become listed on a national securities
exchange or over-the-counter market.

WHEREAS, the Managing Dealer desires to retain the Broker to use its
best efforts to sell the Shares, and the Broker is willing and desires to serve
as a broker for the Managing Dealer for the sale of the Shares upon the
following terms and conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and terms and
conditions thereof, it is agreed between the Managing Dealer and the Broker as
follows.
1. Employment.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Managing
Dealer hereby employs the Broker to use its best efforts to sell for the account
of the Company a portion of the Shares described in the Registration Statement,
as specified on Exhibit A hereto. The Broker hereby accepts such employment and
covenants, warrants and agrees to sell the Shares according to all of the terms
and conditions of the Registration Statement, all applicable state and federal
laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any and all
regulations and rules pertaining thereto, heretofore or hereafter issued by the
SEC and the NASD. Neither the Broker nor any other
<PAGE>
person shall have any authority to give any information or make any
representations in connection with any offer or sale of the Shares other than as
contained in the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented, and as is otherwise
expressly authorized in writing by the Managing Dealer.
(b) The Broker shall use its best efforts, promptly following receipt of
written notice from the Managing Dealer of the effective date of the
Registration Statement, to sell the Shares in such quantities and for the
account of Company as shall be agreed between the Broker and the Managing Dealer
and specified on Exhibit A hereto, and to such persons and according to all such
terms as are contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The
Broker shall comply with all requirements set forth in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus. The Broker shall use and distribute, in connection
with the offer and sale of the Shares, only the Prospectus and such sales
literature and advertising as shall conform in all respects to any restrictions
of local law and the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and which has been approved in writing by the Company or the Managing
Dealer. The Managing Dealer reserves the right to establish such additional
procedures as it may deem necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements
of the Registration Statement, and the Broker shall comply with all such
additional procedures to the extent that it has received written notice thereof.
(c) The Broker shall be permitted to accept subscriptions for the Shares
by telephone from residents of those states identified on Schedule A attached
hereto and made a part hereof provided that: (1) the registered representative
and branch manager of the Broker execute the subscription agreement on behalf of
any investor who subscribes for Shares by telephone; and (2) the Broker does not
charge any additional fees, including but not limited to fees relating to
opening an account with the Broker, to any investor who telephonically or orally
subscribes for Shares. It is understood and agreed between the Managing Dealer
and the Broker that the Managing Dealer may, in its discretion, change, modify,
add to or delete from the list of states identified on Schedule A. Any such
modification shall be effective ten days from the date written notice to the
Broker has been mailed by the Managing Dealer. The Broker shall not execute a
subscription agreement on behalf of any investor who subscribes for Shares by
telephone unless such investor has specifically authorized the registered
representative and the branch manager of the Broker to execute the subscription
agreement on behalf of such investor and has made or agreed to make full payment
for all Shares covered by such subscription agreement. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Broker shall have no authority to make
representations on behalf of an investor or to initial representations contained
in the subscription agreement on behalf of an investor. In connection with
telephonic or other oral subscriptions for Shares, the Broker represents and
warrants as follows: (i) that a Prospectus was delivered to the investor before
the investor made a decision to invest; (ii) that the investor meets the
suitability requirements set forth in the Prospectus; and (iii) that, in
compliance with the NASD's Rules of Fair Practice, the Broker has reasonable
grounds to believe that the investment in the Company is suitable for the
investor, based upon information supplied by the investor to such Broker.
Further, the Broker shall explain to any investor from a state identified in the
Prospectus as having such additional requirements, that: (i) the investor has
the right to rescind such subscription for a period of at least ten days
following the date written confirmation of the subscription has been received by
the investor from the Managing Dealer; and (ii) unless the investor rescinds
such subscription within the applicable period of time, the investor shall be
bound by the subscription agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2 of
this Agreement, in the event that the Managing Dealer pays any commission to the
Broker for sale of one or more Shares, including, but not limited to, those
Shares sold pursuant to a telephonic or other oral subscription therefor, where
representatives of the Broker execute the subscription agreement relating to
such Shares, and the subscription is rescinded as to one or more of the Shares
covered by such subscription, the Managing Dealer shall decrease the next
payment of commissions or other compensation otherwise payable to the Broker by
the Managing Dealer under this Agreement by an amount equal to the commission
rate established in Section 2 and Exhibit A of this Agreement, multiplied by the
number of Shares as to which the subscription is rescinded. In the event that no
payment of commissions or other compensation is due to the Broker after such
withdrawal occurs, the Broker shall pay the amount specified in the preceding
sentence to the Managing Dealer within ten (10) days following mailing of notice
to the Broker by the Managing Dealer stating the amount owed as a result of
rescinded subscriptions.
(e) All monies received for purchase of any of the Shares shall be
forwarded by the Broker to the Managing Dealer for delivery to SouthTrust Asset
Management Company of Florida, N.A. (the "Escrow Agent"), where such monies will
be deposited in an escrow account established by the Company solely for such
subscriptions,
-2-
<PAGE>
except that, until such time (if any) that such monies are deliverable to the
Company pursuant to the Escrow Agreement between the Company and the Escrow
Agent, the Broker shall return any check not made payable to "SouthTrust Asset
Management Company of Florida, N.A., Escrow Agent" directly to the subscriber
who submitted the check. Thereafter, the Broker may accept checks made payable
to either the Company or the Escrow Agent. Subscriptions will be executed as
described in the Registration Statement or as directed by the Managing Dealer.
The monies shall be deposited or transmitted by the Broker to the Managing
Dealer no later than the close of business of the first business day after
receipt of the subscription documents by the Broker; provided, however, that if
the Broker maintains a branch office, the branch office shall transmit the
subscription documents and check to the Broker by the close of business on the
first business day following their receipt by the branch office and the Broker
shall review the subscription documents and check to ensure their proper
execution and form and, if they are acceptable, transmit the check to the
Managing Dealer by the close of business on the first business day after their
receipt by the Broker. Pursuant to the terms of the Managing Dealer Agreement,
the Managing Dealer will transmit the check or monies to the Escrow Agent by no
later than the close of business on the first business day after the check is
received from the Broker.
(f) During the full term of this Agreement the Managing Dealer shall
have full authority to take such action as it may deem advisable in respect to
all matters pertaining to the performance of the Broker under this Agreement.
(g) The Shares shall be offered and sold by the Broker only where the
Shares may be legally offered and sold, and only to such persons in such states
who shall be legally qualified to purchase the Shares. The Managing Dealer shall
give the Broker written notice at the time of effectiveness of those states in
which the offering and sale of Shares may be made, and shall amend such notice
thereafter as additional states are added; no Shares shall be offered or sold in
any other states.
(h) The Broker shall have no obligation under this Agreement to purchase
any of the Shares for its own account.
(i) The Broker will use every reasonable effort to assure that Shares
are sold only to investors who:
(1) meet the investor suitability standards, including the
minimum income and net worth standard established by the Company, and
minimum purchase requirements set forth in the Registration Statement;
(2) can reasonably benefit from the Company based on the
prospective investor's overall investment objectives and portfolio
structure;
(3) is able to bear the economic risk of the investment based on
the prospective investor's overall financial situation; and
(4) has apparent understanding of: (a) the fundamental risks of
the investment; (b) the risk that the prospective investor may lose the
entire investment; (c) the lack of liquidity of the Shares; (d) the
restrictions on transferability of the Shares; (e) the background and
qualifications of the officers and directors of CNL Fund Advisors, Inc.,
the advisor to the Company (the "Advisor"); and (f) the tax consequences
of an investment in the Shares.
(5) The Broker will make the determinations required to be made
by it pursuant to subparagraph (i) based on information it has obtained
from a prospective investor, including, at a minimum, but not limited
to, the prospective investor's age, investment objectives, investment
experience, income, net worth, financial situation, other investments of
the prospective investor, as well as any other pertinent factors deemed
by the Broker to be relevant.
(j) In addition to the complying with the provisions of subparagraph (i)
above, and not in limitation of any other obligations of the Broker to determine
suitability imposed by state or federal law, the Broker agrees that it will
comply fully with all of the applicable provisions of the NASD's Rules of Fair
Practice, and the following provisions:
-3-
<PAGE>
(1) The Broker shall have reasonable grounds to believe, based
upon information provided by the investor concerning his investment
objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs, and upon
any other information known by the Broker, that (A) each investor to
whom the Broker sells Shares is or will be in a financial position
appropriate to enable him to realize to a significant extent the
benefits (including tax benefits) of an investment in the Shares, (B)
each investor to whom the Broker sells Shares has a fair market net
worth sufficient to sustain the risks inherent in an investment in the
Shares (including potential loss and lack of liquidity), and (C) the
Shares otherwise are or will be a suitable investment for each investor
to whom it sells Shares, and the Broker shall maintain files disclosing
the basis upon which the determination of suitability was made;
(2) The Broker shall not execute any transaction involving the
purchase of Shares in a discretionary account without prior written
approval of the transactions by the investor;
(3) The Broker shall have reasonable grounds to believe, based
upon the information made available to it, that all material facts are
adequately and accurately disclosed in the Registration Statement and
provide a basis for evaluating the Shares;
(4) In making the determination set forth in subparagraph (3)
above, the Broker shall evaluate items of compensation, physical
properties, tax aspects, financial stability and experience of the
sponsor, conflicts of interest and risk factors, appraisals, as well as
any other information deemed pertinent by it;
(5) If the Broker relies upon the results of any inquiry
conducted by another member of the NASD with respect to the obligations
set forth in subparagraphs (3) or (4) above, the Broker shall have
reasonable grounds to believe that such inquiry was conducted with due
care, that the member or members conducting or directing the inquiry
consented to the disclosure of the results of the inquiry and that the
person who participated in or conducted the inquiry is not a sponsor or
an affiliate of the sponsor of the Company; and
(6) Prior to executing a purchase transaction in the Shares, the
Broker shall have informed the prospective investor of all pertinent
facts relating to the liquidity and marketability of the Shares.
(k) The Broker agrees that it will comply with Sections 8, 24 and 36 of
Article III of the NASD's Rules of Fair Practice.
(l) The Broker agrees to retain in its files, for a period of at least
six years, information which will establish that each purchaser of Shares falls
within the permitted class of investors.
(m) The Broker shall not, directly or indirectly, pay or award any
finder's fees, commissions or other compensation to any persons engaged by a
potential investor for investment advice as an inducement to such advisor to
advise the potential investor to purchase Shares in the Company.
(n) The Broker either (i) shall not purchase Shares for its own account
or (ii) shall hold for investment any Shares purchased for its own account.
(o) The Broker hereby confirms that it is familiar with Securities Act
Release No. 4968 and Rule 15c2-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
relating to the distribution of preliminary and final prospectuses, and confirms
that it has and will comply therewith.
(p) The Broker shall deliver a copy of the Articles of Incorporation of
the Company with each Prospectus that is delivered to potential investors in
Mississippi.

2. Compensation of Broker.
The Managing Dealer shall pay the Broker, as compensation for all
services to be rendered by the Broker hereunder, a commission equal to 7.0% on
sales of Shares by such Broker, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, subject to
reduction as specified in this Section 2 and the Prospectus. The Managing
Dealer, in its sole discretion, may reallow to the Broker, from its marketing
support and due diligence expense reimbursement fee, up to an additional 0.5% on
sales of Shares by such Broker, based on such factors as the number of Shares
sold by the Broker, the assistance of the Broker in marketing the Offering, and
bona fide due diligence expenses incurred by the Broker. Such commission rates
shall remain in effect during the full term of this Agreement unless otherwise
changed by a written agreement between the parties hereto. A sale of Shares
shall be deemed to be completed only after the Company receives a properly
completed subscription agreement for Shares from the Broker evidencing the fact
that the investor had received a final Prospectus for a period of not less than
five full business days, together with payment of the full purchase price of
each purchased Share from a buyer who satisfies each of the terms and conditions
of the Registration Statement and Prospectus, and only after such subscription
agreement has been accepted in writing by the Company. Such compensation shall
be payable to the Broker by the Managing Dealer after such acceptance of the
subscription agreement; provided, however, that compensation or commissions
shall not be paid by the Managing Dealer: (i) other than from funds received as
compensation or commissions from the Company for the sale of its Shares; (ii)
until such time as subscriptions for a minimum of 150,000 Shares ($1,500,000),
excluding subscriptions from Iowa, Minnesota, New York and Pennsylvania
investors, have been received and approved by the Company, and deposited into
the escrow account provided for in Paragraph 1(e) hereof; (iii) until any and
all compensation or commissions payable by the Company to the Managing Dealer
have been received by the Managing Dealer; and (iv) if the commission payable to
any broker-dealer or salesman exceeds the amount allowed by any regulatory
agency. The Broker shall not reallow any commissions to non-NASD members. The
Company (and the Managing Dealer) may pay reduced commissions or may eliminate
commissions on certain sales of Shares, including the reduction or elimination
of commissions in accordance with the following paragraph of this Section 2. Any
such reduction or elimination of commissions will not, however, change the net
proceeds to the Company.
A registered principal or representative of the Managing Dealer or a
Broker, employees, officers, Directors, and directors of the Company or the
Advisor, or any of their Affiliates (and the families of any of the foregoing
persons), and any Plan (as defined in the Prospectus) established exclusively
for the benefit of such persons may purchase Shares net of 7% commissions, at a
per Share purchase price of $9.30. In addition, clients of an investment adviser
registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, who have been
advised by such adviser on an ongoing basis regarding investments other than in
the Company, and who are not being charged by such adviser or its Affiliates,
through the payment of commissions or otherwise, for the advice rendered by such
adviser in connection with the purchase of the Shares, may purchase the Shares
net of commissions.
In addition to the commissions described above in this Section 2, the
Managing Dealer may reallow to the Broker all or a portion of its annual fee
received from the Company of .20% of the Company's Invested Capital (as defined
below) on December 31 of each year, commencing in the year following the year in
which the Offering terminates. The Managing Dealer may reallow this fee only to
a Broker whose clients hold Shares on December 31 of the applicable year. In
general, Invested Capital is the amount of cash contributed by the shareholders
to the Company, reduced by certain prior capital distributions to the
shareholders from the sale of Company properties. This fee will terminate as of
the beginning of any year in which the Company is liquidated or the Shares
become listed on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter market.
The Managing Dealer shall pay the Broker commissions on Shares purchased
pursuant to the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan on the same basis as
commissions paid for Shares otherwise purchased in the Offering.
3. Association with Other Dealers.
It is expressly understood between the Managing Dealer and the Broker
that the Managing Dealer may cooperate with other broker-dealers who are
registered as broker-dealers with the NASD and duly licensed by the appropriate
regulatory agency of each state in which they will offer and sell the Shares or
with broker-dealers exempt
-5-
<PAGE>
from all such registration requirements. Such other participating broker-dealers
may be employed by the Managing Dealer as brokers on terms and conditions
identical or similar to this Agreement and shall receive such rates of
commission as are agreed to between the Managing Dealer and the respective other
participating broker-dealers and as are in accordance with the terms of the
Registration Statement. The Broker understands that, to that extent, such other
participating broker-dealers shall compete with the Broker in the sale of the
Shares.
4. Conditions of the Broker's Obligations.
The Broker's obligations hereunder are subject, during the full term of
this Agreement and the Offering, to (a) the performance by the Managing Dealer
of its obligations hereunder; and (b) the conditions that: (i) the Registration
Statement shall become and remain effective; and (ii) no stop order shall have
been issued suspending the effectiveness of the Offering.
5. Conditions to the Managing Dealer's Obligations.
The obligations of the Managing Dealer hereunder are subject, during the
full term of this Agreement and the Offering, to the conditions that: (a) at the
effective date of the Registration Statement and thereafter during the term of
this Agreement while any Shares remain unsold, the Registration Statement shall
remain in full force and effect authorizing the offer and sale of the Shares;
(b) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Offering or other order
restraining the offer or sale of the Shares shall have been issued nor
proceedings therefor initiated or threatened by any state regulatory agency or
the SEC; and (c) the Broker shall have satisfactorily performed all of its
obligations hereunder.
6. Covenants of the Managing Dealer.
The Managing Dealer covenants, warrants and represents, during the full
term of this Agreement, that:
(a) It shall use its best efforts to prevent the sale of the Shares
through persons other than registered NASD broker-dealers.
(b) It shall use its best efforts to cause the Company to maintain the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement and to file such applications or
amendments to the Registration Statement as may be reasonably necessary for that
purpose.
(c) It shall advise the Broker whenever and as soon as it receives or
learns of any order issued by the SEC, any state regulatory agency or any other
regulatory agency which suspends the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
or prevents the use of the Prospectus or which otherwise prevents or suspends
the offering or sale of the Shares, or receives notice of any proceedings
regarding any such order.
(d) It shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order
described herein at subparagraph (c) hereof and to obtain the lifting of any
such order if issued.
(e) It shall give the Broker written notice when the Registration
Statement becomes effective and shall deliver to the Broker such number of
copies of the Prospectus, and any supplements and amendments thereto, which are
finally approved by the SEC, as the Broker may reasonably request for sale of
the Shares.
(f) It shall promptly notify the Broker of any post-effective amendments
or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, and shall furnish
the Broker with copies of any revised Prospectus and/or supplements and
amendments to the Prospectus.
(g) To the extent to which the Managing Dealer has knowledge, it shall
keep the Broker fully informed of any material development to which the Company
is a party or which concerns the business and condition of the Company.
-6-
<PAGE>
(h) In conjunction with the Company, it shall use its best efforts to
cause, at or prior to the time the Registration Statement becomes effective, the
qualification of the Shares for offering and sale under the securities laws of
such states as the Company shall elect.
7. Payment of Costs and Expenses.
The Broker shall pay all costs and expenses incident to the performance
of its obligations under this Agreement, including:
(a) All expenses incident to the preparation, printing and filing of all
advertising originated by it related to the sale of the Shares; and
(b) All other costs and expenses incurred in connection with its sales
efforts related to the sales of the Shares which are not expressly assumed by
the Company in its Managing Dealer Agreement with the Managing Dealer.
8. Indemnification.
(a) The Broker agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Company, its affiliates and their or its officers, directors, trustees,
employees and agents, including the Managing Dealer, against all losses, claims,
demands, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, including reasonable legal
and other expenses incurred in defending such claims or liabilities, whether or
not resulting in any liability to the Company, its affiliates and their or its
officers, directors, trustees, employees or agents, which they or any of them
may incur arising out of the offer or sale by the Broker, or any person acting
on its behalf, of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement if such loss, claim,
demand, liability, or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or any omission or
alleged omission of a material fact, other than a statement, omission, or
alleged omission by the Broker which is also, as the case may be, contained in
or omitted from the Prospectus or the Registration Statement and which statement
or omission was not based on information supplied to the Company or the Managing
Dealer by such Broker, or (ii) the breach by the Broker, or any person acting on
its behalf, of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This indemnity
provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(b) The Managing Dealer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Broker, its officers, directors, employees and agents, against all losses,
claims, demands, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable legal and other
expenses incurred in defending such claims or liabilities, which they or any of
them may incur, including, but not limited to, alleged violations of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, but only to the extent that such losses,
claims, demands, liabilities and expenses shall arise out of or be based upon
(i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus or the
Registration Statement, as filed and in effect with the SEC, or in any amendment
or supplement thereto, or in any application prepared or approved in writing by
counsel to the Company and filed with any state regulatory agency in order to
register or qualify the Shares under the securities laws thereof (the "Blue Sky
applications"), or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated in the Prospectus or the Registration
Statement or the Blue Sky applications, or necessary to make such statements,
and any part thereof, not misleading; provided, further, that any such untrue
statement, omission or alleged omission is not based on information included in
any such document which was supplied to the Managing Dealer, the Company, or any
officer of the Company by such Broker. This indemnity provision shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.
(c) No indemnifying party shall be liable under the indemnity agreements
contained in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above unless the party to be indemnified
shall have notified such indemnifying party in writing promptly after the
summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the
claim shall have been served upon the party to be indemnified, but failure to
notify an indemnifying party of any such claim shall not relieve it from any
liabilities which it may have to the indemnified party against whom action is
brought other than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in
subparagraphs (a) and (b) above. In the case of any such claim, if the party to
be indemnified notified the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof as
aforesaid, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate at its own
expense in the defense of such claim. If it so elects, in accordance with
-7-
<PAGE>
arrangements satisfactory to any other indemnifying party or parties similarly
notified, the indemnifying party has the option to assume the entire defense of
the claim, with counsel who shall be satisfactory to such indemnified party and
all other indemnified parties who are defendants in such action; and after
notice from the indemnifying party of its election so to assume the defense
thereof and the retaining of such counsel by the indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under
subparagraphs (a) and (b) above for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other
than for the reasonable costs of investigation.

absolute discretion, may consider (i) the interests of the Company's employees,
suppliers, creditors and customers, (ii) the economy of the nation, (iii)
community and societal interests, and (iv) the long-term as well as short-term

ARTICLE IV
ADVISOR
SECTION 4.1 Appointment and Initial Investment of Advisor. The Directors
are responsible for setting the general policies of the Company and for the
general supervision of its business conducted by officers, agents, employees,
advisors or independent contractors of the Company. However, the Directors are
not required personally to conduct the business of the Company, and they may
(but need not) appoint, employ or contract with any Person (including a Person
Affiliated with any Director) as an Advisor and may grant or delegate such
authority to the Advisor as the Directors may, in their sole discretion, deem
necessary or desirable. The term of retention of any Advisor shall not exceed
one (1) year, although there is no limit to the number of times that a
particular Advisor may be retained. The Advisor is the holder of 20,000 Shares,
representing an initial investment of $200,000.
SECTION 4.2 Supervision of Advisor. The Directors shall evaluate the
performance of the Advisor before entering into or renewing an advisory contract
and the criteria used in such evaluation shall be reflected in the minutes of
meetings of the Board. The Directors may exercise broad discretion in allowing
the Advisor to administer and regulate the operations of the Company, to act as
agent for the Company, to execute documents on behalf of the Company and to make
executive decisions which conform to general policies and principles established
by the Directors.
The Directors are responsible for monitoring the administrative
procedures, investment operations and performance of the Company and the Advisor
to assure that such procedures, operations and programs are in the best
interests of the Stockholders and are fulfilled.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for reviewing the fees and
expenses of the Company at least annually or with sufficient frequency to
determine that the expenses incurred are in the best interests of the
Stockholders. In addition, a majority of the Independent Directors and a
majority of Directors not otherwise interested in the transaction must approve
each transaction with the Advisor or its Affiliates. The Board of Directors also
will be responsible for reviewing the performance of the Advisor and determining
that compensation to be paid to the Advisor is reasonable in relation to the
nature and quality of services to be performed and the investment performance of
the Company and that the provisions of the Advisory Agreement are being carried
out. Specifically, the Board of Directors will consider factors such as the Net
Assets and Net Income of the Company, the amount of the fee paid to the Advisor
in relation to the size, composition and performance of the Company's portfolio,
the success of the Advisor in generating opportunities that meet the investment
objectives of the Company, rates charged
-18-
<PAGE>
to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by advisors performing the same
or similar services, additional revenues realized by the Advisor and its
Affiliates through their relationship with the Company, whether paid by the
Company or by others with whom the Company does business, the quality and extent
of service and advice furnished by the Advisor, the performance of the
investment portfolio of the Company and the quality of the portfolio of the
Company relative to the investments generated by the Advisor for its own
account. The Directors also shall determine whether any successor Advisor
possesses sufficient qualifications to perform the advisory function for the
Company and whether the compensation provided for in its contract with the
Company is justified.
SECTION 4.3 Fiduciary Obligations. The Advisor has a fiduciary
responsibility to the Company and to the Stockholders.
SECTION 4.4 Affiliation and Functions. The Directors, by resolution or
in the Bylaws, may provide guidelines, provisions, or requirements concerning
the affiliation and functions of the Advisor.
SECTION 4.5 Termination. Either a majority of the Independent Directors
or the Advisor may terminate the advisory contract on sixty (60) days' written
notice without cause or penalty, and, in such event, the Advisor will cooperate
with the Company and the Directors in making an orderly transition of the
advisory function.
SECTION 4.6 Real Estate Commission on Sale of Property. The Company
shall pay the Advisor a deferred, subordinated real estate disposition fee upon
Sale of one or more Properties, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one-half
(1/2) of a Competitive Real Estate Commission, or (ii) three percent (3% ) of
the sales price of such Property or Properties. Payment of such fee shall be
made only if the Advisor provides a substantial amount of services in connection
with the Sale of a Property or Properties and shall be subordinated to receipt
by the Stockholders of Distributions equal to the sum of (i) their aggregate
Stockholders' 8% Return and (ii) their aggregate Invested Capital. If, at the
time of a Sale, payment of such disposition fee is deferred because the
subordination conditions have not been satisfied, then the disposition fee shall
be paid at such later time as the subordination conditions are satisfied. Upon
Listing, if the Advisor has accrued but not been paid such real estate
disposition fee, then for purposes of determining whether the subordination
conditions have been satisfied, Stockholders will be deemed to have received a
Distribution in the amount equal to the product of the total number of Shares
outstanding and the average closing price of the Shares over a period, beginning
180 days after Listing, of 30 days during which the Shares are traded.
SECTION 4.7 Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds. The Company shall
pay the Advisor a deferred, subordinated share from Sales of assets of the
Company, whether or not in liquidation of the Company, equal to 10% of Net Sales
Proceeds remaining after receipt by the Stockholders of Distributions equal to
the sum of (i) the Stockholders' 8% Return and (ii) 100% of Invested Capital.
Following Listing, no share of Net Sales Proceeds will be paid to the Advisor.
-19-
<PAGE>
SECTION 4.8 Incentive Fees.
(i) At such time, if any, as Listing occurs, the Advisor shall be
paid the Subordinated Incentive Fee in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of
the amount by which (i) the market value of the Company (as defined below) plus
the total Distributions paid to Stockholders from the Company's inception until
the date of Listing exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) one hundred percent (100% ) of
Invested Capital and (B) the total Distributions required to be paid to the
Stockholders in order to pay the Stockholders' 8% Return from inception through
the date the market value is determined. For purposes of calculating the
Subordinated Incentive Fee, the market value of the Company shall be the average
closing price or average of bid and asked price, as the case may be, over a
period of thirty (30) days during which the Shares are traded with such period
beginning one hundred eighty (180) days after Listing. In the case of multiple
Advisors, Advisors and any Affiliate shall be allowed incentive fees provided
such fees are distributed by a proportional method reasonably designed to
reflect the value added to Company assets by each respective Advisor or any
Affiliate. The Subordinated Incentive Fee will be reduced by the amount of any
prior payment to the Advisor of a deferred, subordinated share of Net Sales
Proceeds from Sales of assets of the Company.
(ii) In no event shall the Company pay a single Advisor both the
Subordinated Incentive Fee and the Performance Fee.
(iii) In the event that the Company becomes a perpetual life
entity, which will occur if the Shares become listed on a national securities
exchange or over-the-counter market, the Company and the Advisor will negotiate
in good faith a fee structure appropriate for an entity with a perpetual life,
subject to approval by a majority of the Independent Directors. In negotiating a
new fee structure, the Independent Directors shall consider all of the factors
they deem relevant. These are expected to include, but will not necessarily be
limited to: (i) the amount of the advisory fee in relation to the asset value,
composition, and profitability of the Company's portfolio; (ii) the success of
the Advisor in generating opportunities that meet the investment objectives of
the Company; (iii) the rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than
REITs by Advisors that perform the same or similar services; (iv) additional
revenues realized by the Advisor 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; (v) the quality
and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor; (vi) the performance
of the investment portfolio of the Company, including income, conservation or
appreciation of capital, and number and frequency of problem investments; and
(vii) the quality of the Property portfolio of the Company in relationship to
the investments generated by the Advisor for its own account. The Board of
Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, may not approve a
new fee structure that, in its judgment, is more favorable to the Advisor than
the current fee structure.
SECTION 4.9 Performance Fee. Upon termination of the Advisory
Agreement, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive a Performance Fee if
performance standards satisfactory to a majority of the Board of Directors,
including a majority of the Independent Directors, when compared to (a) the
performance of the Advisor in comparison with its performance for other
entities; and (b) the performance of other advisors for similar entities, have
been met. If Listing
-20-
<PAGE>
has not occurred, the Performance Fee, if any, shall equal ten percent (10%) of
the amount, if any, by which (i) the appraised value of the assets of the
Company on the Termination Date, less the amount of all indebtedness secured by
such assets, plus the total Distributions paid to Stockholders from the
Company's inception through the Termination Date, exceeds (ii) Invested Capital
plus an amount equal to the Stockholders' 8% Return from inception through the
Termination Date. The Advisor shall be entitled to receive all accrued but
unpaid compensation and expense reimbursements in cash within thirty (30) days
of the Termination Date. All other amounts payable to the Advisor in the event
of a termination shall be evidenced by a promissory note and shall be payable
from time to time. The Performance Fee shall be paid in twelve (12) equal
quarterly installments without interest on the unpaid balance, provided,
however, that no payment will be made in any quarter in which such payment would
jeopardize the Company's REIT status, in which case any such payment or payments
will be delayed until the next quarter in which payment would not jeopardize
REIT status. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any amounts which may be
deemed payable at the date the obligation to pay the Performance Fee is incurred
which relate to the appreciation of the Company's assets shall be an amount
which provides compensation to the terminated Advisor only for that portion of
the holding period for the respective assets during which such terminated
Advisor provided services to the Company. Upon Listing, the Performance Fee, if
any, payable thereafter will be as negotiated between the Company and the
Advisor. The Advisor shall not be entitled to payment of the Performance Fee in
the event the Advisory Agreement is terminated because of failure of the Company
and the Advisor to establish a fee structure appropriate for a perpetual-life
entity at such time, if any, as the Shares become listed on a national
securities exchange or over-the-counter market. The Performance Fee, to the
extent payable at the time of Listing, will not be paid in the event that the
Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid.
SECTION 4.10 Acquisition Fee and Acquisition Expenses. The Company shall
pay the Advisor a fee in the amount of 4.5% of Total Proceeds as Acquisition
Fees. Acquisition Fees shall be reduced to the extent that, and if necessary to
limit, the total compensation paid to all persons involved in the acquisition of
any Property to the amount customarily charged in arms-length transactions by
other persons or entities rendering similar services as an ongoing public
activity in the same geographical location and for comparable types of
Properties, and to the extent that other acquisition fees, finder's fees, real
estate commissions, or other similar fees or commissions are paid by any person
in connection with the transaction. The Company shall reimburse the Advisor for
Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the initial selection and
acquisition of Properties, provided that reimbursement shall be limited to the
actual cost of goods and services used by the Company and obtained from entities
not affiliated with the Advisor, or the lesser of the actual cost or 90% of the
competitive rate charged by unaffiliated persons providing similar goods and
services in the same geographic location for goods or services provided by the
Advisor or its Affiliates. The total of all Acquisition Fees and any Acquisition
Expenses shall be reasonable and shall not exceed an amount equal to six percent
(6%) of the Real Estate Asset Value or the Contract Purchase Price of a
Property, or in the case of a Mortgage Loan, six percent (6%) of the funds
advanced, unless a majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of
the Independent Directors not otherwise interested in the transaction, approves
fees in excess of these limits subject to a determination that the transaction
is commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company.
-21-
<PAGE>
SECTION 4.11 Asset Management Fee. The Company shall pay the Advisor a
monthly Asset Management Fee in an amount equal to one-twelfth of .60% of the
Company's Real Estate Asset Value and the outstanding principal amount of the
Mortgage Loans as of the end of the preceding month. Specifically, Real Estate
Asset Value equals the amount invested in the Properties wholly owned by the
Company, determined on the basis of cost, plus, in the case of Properties owned
by any Joint Venture or partnership in which the Company is a co-venturer or
partner, the portion of the cost of such Properties paid by the Company,
exclusive of Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses. The Asset Management
Fee, which will not exceed fees which are competitive for similar services in
the same geographic area, may or may not be taken, in whole or in part as to any
year, in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Asset
Management Fee not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without
interest and may be taken in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall
determine.
SECTION 4.12 Secured Equipment Lease Servicing Fee. The Company shall
pay the Advisor a fee out of the proceeds of the Loan for negotiating Secured
Equipment Leases and supervising the Secured Equipment Lease program equal to 2%
of the purchase price of the Equipment subject to each Secured Equipment Lease
and paid upon entering into such lease.
SECTION 4.13 Reimbursement for Operating Expenses. The Company shall not
reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter Operating Expenses that,
in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the "Expense Year") exceed
(the "Excess Amount") the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net
Income (the "2%/25% Guidelines") for such year. Any Excess Amount paid to the
Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company. If there is an
Excess Amount in any Expense Year and the Independent Directors determine that
such Excess Amount was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors
which they deem sufficient, the Excess Amount may be carried over and included
in Operating Expenses in subsequent Expense Years, and reimbursed to the Advisor
in one or more of such years, provided that Operating Expenses in any Expense
Year, including any Excess Amount to be paid to the Advisor, shall not exceed
the 2%/25% Guidelines. Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the
Company for which total Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the
2%/25% Guidelines and the Independent Directors determine that the Excess Amount
was justified, there shall be sent to the Stockholders a written disclosure of
such fact, together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors
considered in determining that such Excess Amount was justified. Such
determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board of
Directors.

majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction,
approve such investment as being fair and reasonable to the Company and on
substantially the same terms and conditions as those received by the other joint
venturers.
(iii) The Company may invest in equity securities if a majority
of Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise
interested in the transaction approve such investment as being fair, competitive
and commercially reasonable.
(iv) The Company may offer Secured Equipment Leases to operators
of Restaurant Chains and other businesses provided that a majority of Directors
(including a majority of Independent Directors) approve the Secured Equipment

SECTION 5.4 Investment Limitations. In addition to other investment
restrictions imposed by the Directors from time to time, consistent with the
Company's objective of qualifying as a REIT, the following shall apply to the
Company's investments:
(i) Not more than 10% of the Company's total assets shall be
invested in unimproved real property or mortgage loans on unimproved real
property. For purposes of this
-23-
<PAGE>
paragraph, "unimproved real property" does not include any Property or Real
Estate under construction, under contract for development or planned for
development within one year.
(ii) The Company shall not invest in commodities or commodity
future contracts. This limitation is not intended to apply to interest rate
futures, when used solely for hedging purposes.
(iii) The Company shall not invest in or make mortgage loans
unless an appraisal is obtained concerning the underlying property. Mortgage
indebtedness on any property shall not exceed such property's appraised value.
In cases in which a majority of Independent Directors so determine, and in all
cases in which the mortgage loan involves the Advisor, Directors, or Affiliates,
such appraisal of the underlying property must be obtained from an Independent
Expert. Such appraisal shall be maintained in the Company's records for at least
five (5) years and shall be available for inspection and duplication by any
Stockholder. In addition to the appraisal, a mortgagee's or owner's title
insurance policy or commitment as to the priority of the mortgage or condition
of the title must be obtained.
(iv) The Company shall not make or invest in mortgage loans,
including construction loans, on any one (1) property if the aggregate amount of
all mortgage loans outstanding on the property, including the loans of the
Company would exceed an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the
appraised value of the property as determined by appraisal unless substantial
justification exists because of the presence of other underwriting criteria. For
purposes of this subsection, the "aggregate amount of all mortgage loans
outstanding on the Property, including the loans of the Company" shall include
all interest (excluding contingent participation in income and/or appreciation
in value of the mortgaged property), the current payment of which may be
deferred pursuant to the terms of such loans, to the extent that deferred
interest on each loan exceeds five percent (5%) per annum of the principal
balance of the loan.
(v) The Company shall not make or invest in any mortgage loans
that are subordinate to any mortgage, other indebtedness or equity interest of
the Advisor, the Director or their Affiliates. In addition, the Company shall
not invest in any security of any entity holding investments or engaging in
activities prohibited by these Articles of Incorporation.
(vi) The Company shall not invest in equity securities unless a
majority of the Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not
otherwise interested in such transaction approve the transaction as being fair,
competitive and commercially reasonable and determine that the transaction will
not jeopardize the Company's ability to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT.
Investments in entities affiliated with the Advisor, a Director, the Company or
their Affiliates are subject to restrictions on Joint Venture investments.
(vii) The Company shall not issue (A) equity securities
redeemable solely at the option of the holder (except that Stockholders may
offer their Common Shares to the Company pursuant to that certain redemption
plan adopted or to be adopted by the Board of Directors on terms outlined in the
section relating to Common Shares entitled "Redemption of Shares" in the
Company's Prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering); (B) debt
securities unless the historical debt service coverage (in the most recently
completed fiscal year) as
-24-
<PAGE>
adjusted for known charges is sufficient to properly service that higher level
of debt; (C) Equity Shares on a deferred payment basis or under similar
arrangements; (D) non-voting or assessable securities; (E) options, warrants, or
similar evidences of a right to buy its securities (collectively, "Options")
unless (1) issued to all of its Stockholders ratably, (2) as part of a financing
arrangement, or (3) as part of a Stock Option Plan available to Directors,
officers or employees of the Company or the Advisor. Options may not be issued
to the Advisor, Director or any Affiliate thereof except on the same terms as
such Options are sold to the general public. Options may be issued to persons
other than the Advisor, Directors or any Affiliate thereof but not at exercise
prices less than the fair market value of the underlying securities on the date
of grant and not for consideration that in the judgment of the Independent
Directors has a market value less than the value of such Option on the date of
grant. Options issuable to the Advisor, Directors or any Affiliate thereof shall
not exceed 10% of the outstanding Shares on the date of grant.
(viii) The Company shall not invest in real estate contracts of
sale unless such contracts of sale are in recordable form and appropriately
recorded in the chain of title.
(ix) A majority of the Directors shall authorize the
consideration to be paid for each Property, based on the fair market value of
the Property. If a majority of the Independent Directors determine, or if the
Property is acquired from the Advisor, a Director, or their Affiliates, such
fair market value shall be determined by a qualified independent real estate
appraiser selected by the Independent Directors.
(x) The Company shall not engage in underwriting or the agency
distribution of securities issued by others or in trading, as compared to
investment activities.
(xi) The Company shall not invest in any foreign currency or
bullion or engage in short sales.
(xii) The Company shall not issue senior securities except notes
to banks and other lenders and Preferred Shares.
(xiii) The aggregate Leverage of the Company shall be reasonable
in relation to the Net Assets of the Company and shall be reviewed by the
Directors at least quarterly. The maximum amount of such Leverage in relation to
the Net Assets shall, in the absence of a satisfactory showing that a higher
level of borrowing is appropriate, not exceed three hundred percent (300%). Any
excess in Leverage over such three hundred percent (300%) level shall be
approved by at least a majority of the Independent Directors and disclosed to
Stockholders in the next quarterly report of the Company, along with the
justification for such excess.
(xiv) The Company may borrow money from the Advisor, Director or
any Affiliate thereof, upon a finding by a majority of Directors (including a
majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction
that such transaction is fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no
less favorable to the Company than loans between unaffiliated parties under the
same circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor and its
Affiliates shall be entitled to reimbursement, at cost, for actual expenses
incurred by the
-25-
<PAGE>
Advisor or its Affiliates on behalf of the Company or Joint Ventures in which
the Company is a co-venturer, subject to subsection (xix) below.
(xv) The Company shall not make loans to the Advisor or its
Affiliates.
(xvi) The Company shall not operate so as to be classified as an
"investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(xvii) The Company will not make any investment that the Company
believes will be inconsistent with its objectives of qualifying and remaining
qualified as a REIT.
The foregoing investment limitations may not be modified or eliminated
without the approval of Stockholders owning a majority of the outstanding Equity
Shares.
ARTICLE VI
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
SECTION 6.1 Sales and Leases to Company. The Company may purchase a
Property or Properties from the Advisor, Director, or any Affiliate upon a
finding by a majority of Directors (including a majority of Independent
Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction that such transaction is
fair and reasonable to the Company and at a price to the Company no greater than
the cost of the asset to such Advisor, Director or Affiliate, or, if the price
to the Company is in excess of such cost, that substantial justification for
such excess exists and such excess is reasonable. In no event shall the cost of
such asset to the Company exceed its current appraised value.
SECTION 6.2 Sales and Leases to the Advisor, Directors or Affiliates. An
Advisor, Director or Affiliate may acquire or lease assets from the Company if a
majority of Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not
otherwise interested in the transaction determine that the transaction is fair
and reasonable to the Company.
SECTION 6.3 Multiple Programs.
(i) Until completion of the Initial Public Offering of Shares by
the Company, the Advisor and its Affiliates will not offer or sell interests in
any subsequently formed public program that has investment objectives and
structure similar to those of the Company and that intends to (a) invest, on a
cash and/or leveraged basis, in a diversified portfolio of restaurant and other
types of properties to be leased on a "triple-net" basis to operators of
Restaurant Chains and other businesses; (b) offer Mortgage Loans; and (c) offer
Secured Equipment Leases. The Advisor and its Affiliates also will not purchase
a property or offer a mortgage loan or secured equipment lease for any such
subsequently formed public program that has investment objectives and structure
similar to the Company and that intends to invest on a cash and/or leveraged
basis primarily in a diversified portfolio of restaurant and other properties to
be leased on a "triplenet" basis to operators of Restaurant Chains and other
businesses until substantially all (generally, eighty percent (80%)) of the
funds available for investment (net offering proceeds) by the Company have been
invested or committed to investment. (For purposes of the preceding
-26-
<PAGE>
sentence only, funds are deemed to have been committed to investment to the
extent written agreements in principle or letters of understanding are executed
and in effect at any time, whether or not any such investment is consummated,
and also to the extent any funds have been reserved to make contingent payments
in connection with any Property, whether or not any such payments are made).
Affiliates of the Advisor are currently purchasing restaurant properties and
other types of properties, including furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and
incurring related costs for public and private investor programs, which have
investment objectives that are not identical, and/or a structure not similar to
those of the Company, but which make investments that include "triple-net"
leases of fast-food, family-style, and casual-dining restaurant properties and
other types of properties. The Advisor or its Affiliates currently are and in
the future may offer interests in one or more public or private programs
organized to purchase properties of the type to be acquired by the Company, to
offer mortgage loans and/or to offer secured equipment leases.
(ii) In the event that an investment opportunity becomes
available which is suitable for both the Company and a public or private entity
with which the Advisor or its Affiliates are affiliated for which both entities
have sufficient uninvested funds, then the entity which has had the longer
period of time elapse since it was offered an investment opportunity will first
be offered the investment opportunity. An investment opportunity will not be
considered suitable for a program if the requirements of subparagraph (i) above
could not be satisfied if the program were to make the investment. In
determining whether or not an investment opportunity is suitable for more than
one program, the Advisor will examine such factors, among others, as the cash
requirements of each program, the effect of the acquisition both on
diversification of each program's investments by types of restaurants and other
businesses and geographic area, and on diversification of the tenants of its
properties (which also may affect the need for one of the programs to prepare or
produce audited financial statements for a property or a tenant), the
anticipated cash flow of each program, the size of the investment, the amount of
funds available to each program, and the length of time such funds have been
available for investment. If a subsequent development, such as a delay in the
closing of a property or a delay in the construction of a property, causes any
such investment, in the opinion of the Advisor, to be more appropriate for an
entity other than the entity which committed to make the investment, however,
the Advisor has the right to agree that the other entity affiliated with the
Advisor or its Affiliates may make the investment.
SECTION 6.4 Other Transactions.
(i) No goods or services will be provided by the Advisor or its
Affiliates to the Company except for transactions in which the Advisor or its
Affiliates provide goods or services to the Company in accordance with these
Articles of Incorporation or if a majority of the Directors (including a
majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such
transactions approve such transactions as fair and reasonable to the Company and
on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company than those available
from unaffiliated third parties.
(ii) The Company will not make any loans to Affiliates. Any loans
to the Company by the Advisor or its Affiliates must be approved by a majority
of the Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise
interested in such transaction as
-27-
<PAGE>
fair, competitive, and commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to the
Company than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties.
ARTICLE VII
SHARES
SECTION 7.1 Authorized Shares. The beneficial interest in the Company
shall be divided into Equity Shares. The total number of Equity Shares which the
Company is authorized to issue is forty-six million (126,000,000) shares of
beneficial interest, consisting of twenty million (60,000,000) Common Shares (as
defined and described in Section 7.2(ii) hereof), three million (3,000,000)
Preferred Shares (as defined in Section 7.3 hereof) and twenty-three million
(63,000,000) Excess Shares (as defined in Section 7.7 hereof). All Shares shall
be fully paid and nonassessable when issued. Shares may be issued for such
consideration as the Directors determine or, if issued as a result of a Share
dividend or Share split, without any consideration.
SECTION 7.2 Common Shares.
(i) Common Shares Subject to Terms of Preferred Shares. The
Common Shares shall be subject to the express terms of any series of Preferred
Shares.
(ii) Description. Common Shares (herein so called) shall have a
par value of $.01 per share and shall entitle the holders to one (1) vote per
share on all matters upon which Stockholders are entitled to vote pursuant to
Section 8.2 hereof, and shares of a particular class of issued Common Shares
shall have equal dividend, distribution, liquidation and other rights, and shall
have no preference, cumulative, preemptive, appraisal, conversion or exchange
rights. The Directors may classify or reclassify any unissued Common Shares by
setting or changing the number, designation, preferences, conversion or other
rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications
or terms or conditions of redemption of any such Common Shares and, in such
event, the Company shall file for record with the State Department of
Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland amended articles in substance
and form as prescribed by Title 2 of the MGCL.
(iii) Distribution Rights. The holders of Common Shares shall be
entitled to receive such Distributions as may be declared by the Board of
Directors of the Company out of funds legally available therefor.
(iv) Dividend or Distribution Rights. The Directors from time to
time may declare and pay to Stockholders such dividends or Distributions in cash
or other property as the Directors in their discretion shall determine. The
Directors shall endeavor to declare and pay such dividends and Distributions as
shall be necessary for the Company to qualify as a real estate investment trust
under the REIT Provisions of the Code; provided, however, Stockholders shall
have no right to any dividend or Distribution unless and until declared by the
Directors. The exercise of the powers and rights of the Directors pursuant to
this section shall be subject to the provisions of any class or series of Equity
Shares at the time outstanding. The receipt by any Person in whose name any
Equity Shares are registered on the records of the Company or by
-28-
<PAGE>
his duly authorized agent shall be a sufficient discharge for all dividends or
Distributions payable or deliverable in respect of such Equity Shares and from
all liability to see to the application thereof. Distributions in kind shall not
be permitted, except for distributions of readily marketable securities;
distributions of beneficial interests in a liquidating trust established for the
dissolution of the Company and the liquidation of its assets in accordance with
the terms of these Articles of Incorporation; or distributions of in-kind
property as long as the Directors (i) advise each Stockholder of the risks
associated with direct ownership of the property; (ii) offer each Stockholder
the election of receiving in-kind property distributions; and (iii) distribute
in-kind property only to those Stockholders who accept the Directors' offer.
(v) Rights Upon Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any distribution of the
assets of the Company, the aggregate assets available for distribution to
holders of the Common Shares (including holders of Excess Shares resulting from
the exchange of Common Shares pursuant to Section 7.6(iii) hereof) shall be
determined in accordance with applicable law. Except as provided below as a
consequence of the limitations on distributions to holders of Excess Shares,
each holder of Common Shares shall be entitled to receive, ratably with (i) each
other holder of Common Shares and (ii) each holder of Excess Shares resulting
from the exchange of Common Shares, that portion of such aggregate assets
available for distribution as the number of the outstanding Common Shares held
by such holder bears to the total number of outstanding Common Shares and Excess
Shares resulting from the exchange of Common Shares then outstanding. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the amount payable to
a holder of Excess Shares exceed (i) the price per share such holder paid for
the Common Shares in the purported Transfer or Acquisition (as those terms are
defined in Section 7.6(i)) or change in capital structure or other transaction
or event that resulted in the Excess Shares or (ii) if the holder did not give
full value for such Excess Shares (as through a gift, a devise or other event or
transaction), a price per share equal to the Market Price (as that term is
defined in Section 7.6(i)) for the Common Shares on the date of the purported
Transfer, Acquisition, change in capital structure or other transaction or event
that resulted in such Excess Shares. Any amount available for distribution in
excess of the foregoing limitations shall be paid ratably to the holders of
Common Shares and other holders of Excess Shares resulting from the exchange of
Common Shares to the extent permitted by the foregoing limitations.
(vi) Voting Rights. Except as may be provided in these Articles
of Incorporation, and subject to the express terms of any series of Preferred
Shares, the holders of the Common Shares shall have the exclusive right to vote
on all matters (as to which a common Stockholder shall be entitled to vote
pursuant to applicable law) at all meetings of the Stockholders of the Company,
and shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each Common Share entitled to vote at
such meeting.
SECTION 7.3 Preferred Shares. The Directors are hereby expressly granted
the authority to authorize from time to time the issuance of one or more series
of Preferred Shares. Prior to the issuance of each such series, the Board of
Directors, by resolution, shall fix the number of shares to be included in each
series, and the terms, rights, restrictions and qualifications of the shares of
each series, however, the voting rights for each share of the Preferred Shares
shall not exceed voting rights which bear the same relationship to the voting
rights of the Common Shares as the consideration paid to the Company for each of
Preferred
-29-
<PAGE>
Shares bears to the book value of the Common Shares or the date that such
Preferred Shares are issued. The authority of the Board of Directors with
respect to each series shall include, but not be limited to, determination of
the following:
(i) The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing
number, letter or title.
(ii) The dividend rate on the shares of the series, if any,
whether any dividends shall be cumulative and, if so, from which date or
dates, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of
dividends on shares of the series.
(iii) The redemption rights, including conditions and the price
or prices, if any, for shares of the series.
(iv) The terms and amounts of any sinking fund for the purchase
or redemption of shares of the series.
(v) The rights of the shares of the series in the event of any
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
affairs of the Company, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of
payment of shares of the series.
(vi) Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into
shares of any other class or series, or any other security, of the
Company or any other corporation or other entity, and, if so, the
specification of such other class or series of such other security, the
conversion price or prices or rate or rates, any adjustments thereof,
the date or dates on which such shares shall be convertible and all
other terms and conditions upon which such conversion may be made.
(vii) Restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series
or of any other class or series.
(viii) The voting rights of the holders of shares of the series
subject to the limitations contained in this Section 7.3.
(ix) Any other relative rights, preferences and limitations on
that series.
Subject to the express provisions of any other series of Preferred
Shares then outstanding, and notwithstanding any other provision of these
Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors may increase or decrease (but
not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of
shares, or alter the designation or classify or reclassify any unissued shares
of a particular series of Preferred Shares, by fixing or altering, in one or
more respects, from time to time before issuing the shares, the terms, rights,
restrictions and qualifications of the shares of any such series of Preferred
Shares.
SECTION 7.4 General Nature of Shares. All Shares shall be personal
property entitling the Stockholders only to those rights provided in these
Articles of Incorporation, the MGCL or in the resolution creating any class or
series of Shares. The legal ownership of the
-30-
<PAGE>
Company Property and the right to conduct the business of the Company are vested
exclusively in the Directors; the Stockholders shall have no interest therein
other than the beneficial interest in the Company conferred by their Shares and
shall have no right to compel any partition, division, dividend or Distribution
of the Company or any of the Company Property. The death of a Stockholder shall
not terminate the Company or give his legal representative any rights against
other Stockholders, the Directors or the Company Property, except the right,
exercised in accordance with applicable provisions of the Bylaws, to require the
Company to reflect on its books the change in ownership of the Shares. Holders
of Shares shall not have any preemptive or other right to purchase or subscribe
for any class of securities of the Company which the Company may at any time
issue or sell.
SECTION 7.5 No Issuance Of Share Certificates. The Company shall not
issue share certificates. A Stockholder's investment shall be recorded on the
books of the Company. To transfer his or her Shares a Stockholder shall submit
an executed form to the Company, which form shall be provided by the Company
upon request. Such transfer will also be recorded on the books of the Company.
Upon issuance or transfer of shares, the Company will provide the Stockholder
with information concerning his or her rights with regard to such stock, in a
form substantially similar to Section 7.6(xii), and required by the Bylaws and

Offering and prior to the Restriction Termination Date, there is a

place in violation of Section 7.6(ii) or that a Person intends to Acquire or has
attempted to Acquire Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of any Equity Shares
in violation of this Section 7.6, the Board of Directors or its designee shall
take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent
such Transfer, Acquisition, change in the capital structure of the Company,
other attempt to Acquire Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of any Shares or
other event or transaction, including, but not limited to, refusing to give

in the capital structure of the Company, attempted Transfer or other attempt to
Acquire Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of any Equity Shares or other event
or transaction in violation of subparagraphs (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section

irrespective of any action (or inaction) by the Board of Directors or its
designee.
(v) Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who acquires or
attempts to Acquire Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of Equity Shares in
violation of Section 7.6(ii) and any Person who Beneficially or Constructively
Owns Excess Shares as a transferee of Equity Shares resulting in an exchange for
Excess Shares, pursuant to Section 7.6(iii), or otherwise shall immediately give
written notice to the Company, or, in the event of a proposed or attempted
Transfer, Acquisition, or purported change in Beneficial or Constructive
Ownership, shall give at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the

Directors, in its sole discretion, of the outstanding shares of any

Company stating (i) the name and address of such Beneficial or
Constructive Owner; (ii) the number of shares of each class or series of
Equity Shares Beneficially or Constructively Owned; and (iii) a
description of how such shares are held. Each such Beneficial or
Constructive Owner promptly shall provide to the Company such additional
information as the Company, in its sole discretion, may request in order
to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial or Constructive
Ownership on the Company's status as a REIT and to ensure compliance
with the Common or Preferred Share Ownership Limit and other
restrictions set forth herein.
(b) Each Person who is a Beneficial or Constructive Owner
of Equity Shares and each Person (including the Stockholder of record)
who is holding Equity Shares for a Beneficial or Constructive Owner
promptly shall provide to the Company such information as the Company,
in its sole discretion, may request in order to determine the Company's
status as a REIT, to comply with the requirements of any taxing
authority or other governmental agency, to determine any such compliance
or to ensure compliance with the Common or Preferred Share Ownership
Limit and other restrictions set forth herein.
(vii) Remedies Not Limited. Nothing contained in this Article VII
except Section 7.8 shall limit scope or application of the provisions of this
Section 7.6, the ability of the Company to implement or enforce compliance with
the terms thereof or the authority of the Board of Directors to take any such
other action or actions as it may deem necessary or advisable to protect the
Company and the interests of its Stockholders by preservation of the Company's
status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit for any class
or series of Equity Shares and other restrictions set forth herein, including,
without limitation, refusal to give effect to a transaction on the books of the
Company.
(viii) Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application
of any of the provisions of this Section 7.6, including any definition contained
in Sections 1.5 and 7.6(i), the Board of Directors shall have the power and
authority, in its sole discretion, to determine the application of the
provisions of this Section 7.6 with respect to any situation based on the facts
known to it.
(ix) Exception. The Board of Directors, upon receipt of a ruling
from the Internal Revenue Service, an opinion of counsel or other evidence
satisfactory to the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, in each case to
the effect that the restrictions contained in
-37-
<PAGE>
subparagraphs (c), (d) and (e) of Section 7.6(ii) will not be violated, may
waive or change, in whole or in part, the application of the Common or Preferred
Share Ownership Limit with respect to any Person that is not an individual, as
such term is defined in Section 542(a)(2) of the Code. In connection with any
such waiver or change, the Board of Directors may require such representations
and undertakings from such Person or affiliates and may impose such other
conditions as the Board deems necessary, advisable or prudent, in its sole
discretion, to determine the effect, if any, of the proposed transaction or
ownership of Equity Shares on the Company's status as a REIT.
(x) Increase in Common or Preferred Share Ownership Limit.
Subject to the limitations contained in Section 7.6(xi), the Board of Directors
may from time to time increase the Common or Preferred Share Ownership Limit.
(xi) Limitations on Modifications.
(a) The Ownership Limit for a class or series of Equity
Shares may not be increased and no additional ownership limitations may
be created if, after giving effect to such increase or creation, the
Company would be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of
the Code (assuming ownership of shares of Equity Shares by all Persons
equal to the greatest of (A) the actual ownership, (B) the Beneficial
Ownership of Equity Shares by each Person, or (C) the applicable
Ownership Limit with respect to such Person.
(b) Prior to any modification of the Ownership Limit with
respect to any Person, the Board of Directors may require such opinions
of counsel, affidavits, undertakings or agreements as it may deem
necessary, advisable or prudent, in its sole discretion, in order to
determine or ensure the Company's status as a REIT.
(c) Neither the Preferred Share Ownership Limit nor the
Common Share Ownership Limit may be increased to a percentage that is
greater than nine point nine percent (9.9%).
(xii) Notice to Stockholders Upon Issuance or Transfer. Upon
issuance or transfer of Shares, the Company shall provide the recipient with a
notice containing information about the shares purchased or otherwise
transferred, in lieu of issuance of a share certificate, in a form substantially
similar to the following:
"The securities issued or transferred are subject to restrictions
on transfer and ownership for the purpose of maintenance of the
Company's status as a real estate investment trust (a "REIT")
under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). Except as otherwise provided
pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, no
Person may (i) Beneficially or Constructively Own Common Shares
of the Company in excess of 9.8% (or such greater percent as may
be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the
outstanding Common Shares; (ii) Beneficially or
-38-
<PAGE>
Constructively Own shares of any series of Preferred Shares of
the Company in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding shares of such
series of Preferred Shares; or (iii) Beneficially or
Constructively Own Common Shares or Preferred Shares (of any
class or series) which would result in the Company being "closely
held" under Section 856(h) of the Code or which otherwise would
cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT. Any Person who
has Beneficial or Constructive Ownership, or who Acquires or
attempts to Acquire Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of
Common Shares and/or Preferred Shares in excess of the above
limitations and any Person who Beneficially or Constructively
Owns Excess Shares as a transferee of Common or Preferred Shares
resulting in an exchange for Excess Shares (as described below)
immediately must notify the Company in writing or, in the event
of a proposed or attempted Transfer or Acquisition or purported
change in Beneficial or Constructive Ownership, must give written
notice to the Company at least 15 days prior to the proposed or
attempted transfer, transaction or other event. Any Transfer or
Acquisition of Common Shares and/or Preferred Shares or other
event which results in violation of the ownership or transfer
limitations set forth in the Company's Articles of Incorporation
shall be void ab initio and the Purported Beneficial and Record
Transferee shall not have or acquire any rights in such Common
Shares and/or Preferred Shares. If the transfer and ownership
limitations referred to herein are violated, the Common Shares or
Preferred Shares represented hereby automatically will be
exchanged for Excess Shares to the extent of violation of such
limitations, and such Excess Shares will be held in trust by the
Company, all as provided by the Articles of Incorporation of the
Company. All defined terms used in this legend have the meanings
identified in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as the
same may be amended from time to time, a copy of which, including
the restrictions on transfer, will be sent without charge to each
Stockholder who so requests."
SECTION 7.7 Excess Shares.
(i) Ownership In Trust. Upon any purported Transfer, Acquisition,
change in the capital structure of the Company, other purported change in
Beneficial or Constructive Ownership or event or transaction that results in
Excess Shares pursuant to Section 7.6(iii), such Excess Shares shall be deemed
to have been transferred to the Company, as Excess Shares Trustee of an Excess
Shares Trust for the benefit of such Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to whom an
interest in such Excess Shares may later be transferred pursuant to Section
7.6(v). Excess Shares so held in trust shall be issued and outstanding stock of
the Company. The Purported Record Transferee (or Purported Record Holder) shall
have no rights in such Excess Shares except the right to designate a transferee
of such Excess Shares upon the terms specified in
-39-
<PAGE>
Section 7.6(v). The Purported Beneficial Transferee shall have no rights in such
Excess Shares except as provided in Section 7.7(iii) and (v).
(ii) Distribution Rights. Excess Shares shall not be entitled to
any dividends or Distributions (except as provided in Section 7.7(iii)). Any
dividend or Distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Company that the
Equity Shares have been exchanged for Excess Shares shall be repaid to the
Company upon demand, and any dividend or Distribution declared but unpaid at the
time of such discovery shall be void ab initio with respect to such Excess
Shares.
(iii) Rights Upon Liquidation.
(a) Except as provided below, in the event of any
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any
other distribution of the assets, of the Company, each holder of Excess
Shares resulting from the exchange of Preferred Shares of any specified
series shall be entitled to receive, ratably with each other holder of
Excess Shares resulting from the exchange of Preferred Shares of such
series and each holder of Preferred Shares of such series, such accrued
and unpaid dividends, liquidation preferences and other preferential
payments, if any, as are due to holders of Preferred Shares of such
series. In the event that holders of shares of any series of Preferred
Shares are entitled to participate in the Company's distribution of its
residual assets, each holder of Excess Shares resulting from the
exchange of Preferred Shares of any such series shall be entitled to
participate, ratably with (A) each other holder of Excess Shares
resulting from the exchange of Preferred Shares of all series entitled
to so participate; (B) each holder of Preferred Shares of all series
entitled to so participate; and (C) each holder of Common Shares and
Excess Shares resulting from the exchange of Common Shares (to the
extent permitted by Section 7.6(iii) hereof), that portion of the
aggregate assets available for distribution (determined in accordance
with applicable law) as the number of shares of such Excess Shares held
by such holder bears to the total number of (1) outstanding Excess
Shares resulting from the exchange of Preferred Shares of all series
entitled to so participate; (2) outstanding Preferred Shares of all
series entitled to so participate; and (3) outstanding Common Shares and
Excess Shares resulting from the exchange of Common Shares. The Company,
as holder of the Excess Shares in trust, or, if the Company shall have
been dissolved, any trustee appointed by the Company prior to its
dissolution, shall distribute ratably to the Beneficiaries of the Excess
Shares Trust, when determined, any such assets received in respect of
the Excess Shares in any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any
distribution of the assets, of the Company. Anything to the contrary
herein notwithstanding, in no event shall the amount payable to a holder
with respect to Excess Shares resulting from the exchange of Preferred
Shares exceed (A) the price per share such holder paid for the Preferred
Shares in the purported Transfer, Acquisition, change in capital
structure or other transaction or event that resulted in the Excess
Shares or (B) if the holder did not give full value for such Excess
Shares (as through a gift, devise or other event or transaction), a
price per share equal to the Market Price for the shares of Preferred
Shares on the date of the purported Transfer, Acquisition, change in
capital structure or other transaction or event that resulted in such
Excess Shares. Any amount available for distribution in excess of the
foregoing limitations shall be paid ratably to the holders of Preferred
Shares and Excess
-40-
<PAGE>
Shares resulting from the exchange of Preferred Shares to the extent
permitted by the foregoing limitations.
(b) Except as provided below, in the event of any
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any
other distribution of the assets, of the Company, each holder of Excess
Shares resulting from the exchange of Common Shares shall be entitled to
receive, ratably with (A) each other holder of such Excess Shares and
(B) each holder of Common Shares, that portion of the aggregate assets
available for distribution to holders of Common Shares (including
holders of Excess Shares resulting from the exchange of Common Shares
pursuant to Section 7.6(iii)), determined in accordance with applicable
law, as the number of such Excess Shares held by such holder bears to
the total number of outstanding Common Shares and outstanding Excess
Shares resulting from the exchange of Common Shares then outstanding.
The Company, as holder of the Excess Shares in trust, or, if the Company
shall have been dissolved, any trustee appointed by the Company prior to
its dissolution, shall distribute ratably to the Beneficiaries of the
Excess Shares, when determined, any such assets received in respect of
the Excess Shares in any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any
distribution of the assets, of the Company. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the amount payable to a
holder with respect to Excess Shares exceed (A) the price per share such
holder paid for the Equity Shares in the purported Transfer,
Acquisition, change in capital structure or other transaction or event
that resulted in the Excess Shares or (B) if the holder did not give
full value for such Equity Shares (as through a gift, devise or other
event or transaction), a price per share equal to the Market Price for
the Equity Shares on the date of the purported Transfer, Acquisition,
change in capital structure or other transaction or event that resulted
in such Excess Shares. Any amount available for distribution in excess
of the foregoing limitations shall be paid ratably to the holders of
Common Shares and Excess Shares resulting from the exchange of Common
Shares to the extent permitted by the foregoing limitations.
(iv) Voting Rights. The holders of Excess Shares shall not be
entitled to vote on any matters (except as required by the MGCL).
(v) Restrictions on Transfer; Designation of Beneficiary.
(a) Excess Shares shall not be transferable. The Purported
Record Transferee (or Purported Record Holder) may freely designate a
Beneficiary of its interest in the Excess Shares Trust (representing the
number of Excess Shares held by the Excess Shares Trust attributable to
the purported Transfer or Acquisition that resulted in the Excess
Shares), if (A) the Excess Shares held in the Excess Shares Trust would
not be Excess Shares in the hands of such Beneficiary and (B) the
Purported Beneficial Transferee (or Purported Beneficial Holder) does
not receive a price for designating such Beneficiary that reflects a
price per share for such Excess Shares that exceeds (1) the price per
share such Purported Beneficial Transferee (or Purported Beneficial
Holder) paid for the Equity Shares in the purported Transfer,
Acquisition, change in capital structure, or other transaction or event
that resulted in the Excess Shares or (2) if the Purported Beneficial
Transferee (or Purported Beneficial Holder) did not give value for
-41-
<PAGE>
such Excess Shares (as through a gift, devise or other event or
transaction), a price per share equal to the Market Price for the Equity
Shares on the date of the purported Transfer, Acquisition, change in
capital structure, or other transaction or event that resulted in the
Excess Shares. Upon such transfer of an interest in the Excess Shares
Trust, the corresponding Excess Shares in the Excess Shares Trust
automatically shall be exchanged for an equal number of Equity Shares
(depending on the type and class of Shares that were originally
exchanged for such Excess Shares), and such Equity Shares shall be
transferred of record to the Beneficiary of the interest in the Excess
Shares Trust designated by the Purported Record Transferee (or Purported
Record Holder), as described above, if such Equity Shares would not be
Excess Shares in the hands of such Beneficiary. Prior to any transfer of
any interest in the Excess Shares Trust, the Purported Record Transferee
(or Purported Record Holder) must give advance written notice to the
Company of the intended transfer and the Company must have waived in
writing its purchase rights under Section 7.7(vi).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Purported
Beneficial Transferee (or Purported Beneficial Holder) receives a price
for designating a Beneficiary of an interest in the Excess Shares Trust
that exceeds the amounts allowable under subparagraph (i) of this
Section 7.6(v), such Purported Beneficial Transferee (or Purported
Beneficial Holder) shall pay, or cause the Beneficiary of the interest
in the Excess Shares Trust to pay, such excess in full to the Company.
(c) If any of the transfer restrictions set forth in this
Section 7.6(v), or any application thereof, are determined to be void,
invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the
issue, the Purported Record Transferee (or Purported Record Holder) may
be deemed, at the option of the Company, to have acted as the agent of
the Company in acquiring the Excess Shares as to which such restrictions
would otherwise, by their terms, apply and to hold such Excess Shares on
behalf of the Company.
(vi) Purchase Right in Excess Shares. Excess Shares shall be
deemed to have been offered for sale to the Company, or its designee, at a price
per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that
created such Excess Shares (or, in the case of devise or gift or event other
than a Transfer or Acquisition which results in the issuance of Excess Shares,
the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift or event other than a
Transfer or Acquisition which results in the issuance of Excess Shares) and (ii)
the Market Price of the Equity Shares exchanged for such Excess Shares on the
date the Company, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Company and its
assignees shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of ninety (90)
days after the later of (i) the date of the purported Transfer, Acquisition,
change in capital structure of the Company, purported change in Beneficial
Ownership or other event or transaction which resulted in such Excess Shares and
(ii) the date on which the Board of Directors determines in good faith that a
Transfer, Acquisition, change in capital structure of the Company, purported
change in Beneficial or Constructive Ownership resulting in Excess Shares has
occurred, if the Company does not receive a notice pursuant to Section 7.6(v),
but in no event later than a permitted Transfer pursuant to and in compliance
with the terms of Section 7.7(v).
-42-
<PAGE>
(vii) Remedies Not Limited. Nothing contained in this Article VII
except Section 7.8 shall limit scope or application of the provisions of this
Section 7.7, the ability of the Company to implement or enforce compliance with
the terms hereof or the authority of the Board of Directors to take any such
other action or actions as it may deem necessary or advisable to protect the
Company and the interests of its Stockholders by preservation of the Company's
status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with applicable Share Ownership Limits
and the other restrictions set forth herein, including, without limitation,
refusal to give effect to a transaction on the books of the Company.
(viii) Authorization. At such time as the Board of Directors
authorizes a series of Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 7.3 of this Article
VII, without any further or separate action of the Board of Directors, there
shall be deemed to be authorized a series of Excess Shares consisting of the
number of shares included in the series of Preferred Shares so authorized and
having terms, rights, restrictions and qualifications identical thereto, except
to the extent that such Excess Shares are already authorized or this Article VII
requires different terms.
SECTION 7.8 Settlements. Nothing in Sections 7.6 and 7.7 shall preclude
the settlement of any transaction with respect to the Common Shares entered into
through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange or other national
securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed.
SECTION 7.9 Severability. If any provision of this Article VII or any
application of any such provision is determined to be void, invalid or
unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article VII shall not be
affected and other applications of such provision shall be affected only to the
extent necessary to comply with the determination of such court.
SECTION 7.10 Waiver. The Company shall have authority at any time to
waive the requirements that Excess Shares be issued or be deemed outstanding in
accordance with the provisions of this Article VII if the Company determines,
based on an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel, that the issuance of
such Excess Shares or the fact that such Excess Shares are deemed to be
outstanding, would jeopardize the status of the Company as a REIT (as that term
is defined in Section 1.5).
ARTICLE VIII

SECTION 8.6 Access to Stockholder List. An alphabetical list of the
names, addresses and telephone numbers of the Stockholders of the Company, along
with the number of Shares held by each of them (the "Stockholder List"), shall
be maintained as part of the books and records of the Company and shall be
available for inspection by any Stockholder or the Stockholder's designated
agent at the home office of the Company upon the request of the
-44-
<PAGE>
Stockholder. The Stockholder List shall be updated at least quarterly to reflect
changes in the information contained therein and a copy of such list shall be
mailed to any Stockholder so requesting within ten (10) days of the request. The
Company may impose a reasonable charge for expenses incurred in reproduction
pursuant to the Stockholder request. A Stockholder may request a copy of the
Stockholder List in connection with matters relating to Stockholders' voting
rights, and the exercise of Stockholder rights under federal proxy laws. The
Company may require the Stockholder requesting the Stockholder List to represent
that he or she will not make any commercial distribution of the Stockholder List
or the information disclosed through such inspection and will not furnish the
list to any third party except as necessary in connection with the voting rights
of the Stockholders and the rights of the Stockholders under federal proxy laws.
The Company may impose a reasonable charge for expenses incurred in reproducing
such Stockholder List. The Stockholder List may not be used for commercial
purposes.
If the Advisor or Directors neglect or refuse to exhibit, produce or
mail a copy of the Stockholder List as requested, the Advisor and the Directors
shall be liable to any Stockholder requesting the list for the costs, including
attorneys' fees, incurred by that Stockholder for compelling the production of
the Stockholder List, and for actual damages suffered by any Stockholder by
reason of such refusal or neglect. It shall be a defense that the actual purpose
and reason for the requests for inspection or for a copy of the Stockholder List
is to secure such list of Stockholders or other information for the purpose of
selling such list or copies thereof, or of using the same for a commercial
purpose other than in the interest of the applicant as a Stockholder relative to
the affairs of the Company. The remedies provided hereunder to Stockholders
requesting copies of the Stockholder List are in addition, to and shall not in
any way limit, other remedies available to Stockholders under federal law, or
the laws of any state.
SECTION 8.7 Reports. The Directors, including the Independent Directors,
shall take reasonable steps to insure that the Company shall cause to be
prepared and mailed or delivered to each Stockholder as of a record date after
the end of the fiscal year and each holder of other publicly held securities of
the Company within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the fiscal
year to which it relates an annual report for each fiscal year ending after the
initial public offering of its securities which shall include: (i) financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
which are audited and reported on by independent certified public accountants;
(ii) the ratio of the costs of raising capital during the period to the capital
raised; (iii) the aggregate amount of advisory fees and the aggregate amount of
other fees paid to the Advisor and any Affiliate of the Advisor by the Company

Expenses of the Company, stated as a percentage of Average Invested Assets and
as a percentage of its Net Income; (v) a report from the Independent Directors
that the policies being followed by the Company are in the best interests of its
Stockholders and the basis for such determination; (vi) separately stated, full
disclosure of all material terms, factors, and circumstances surrounding any and
all transactions involving the Company, Directors, Advisors and any Affiliate
thereof occurring in the year for which the annual report is made, and the
Independent Directors shall be specifically charged with a duty to examine and
comment in the report on the fairness of such transactions; and (vii)
Distributions to the Stockholders for the period, identifying the source of such
Distributions, and if such information is not available at the time of the
distribution, a written explanation of the relevant circumstances will accompany
the Distributions (with the statement as to the source of
-45-

Distributions to be sent to Stockholders not later than sixty (60) days after
the end of the fiscal year in which the distribution was made).

ARTICLE X
AMENDMENT; REORGANIZATION; MERGER, ETC.
SECTION 10.1 Amendment.
(i) These Articles of Incorporation may be amended, without the
necessity for concurrence by the Directors, by the affirmative vote of the
holders of not less than a majority of the Equity Shares then outstanding and
entitled to vote thereon, except that (1) no amendment may be made which would
change any rights with respect to any outstanding class of securities, by
reducing the amount payable thereon upon liquidation, or by diminishing or
eliminating any voting rights pertaining thereto; and (2) Section 10.2 hereof
and this Section 10.1 shall not be amended (or any other provision of these
Articles of Incorporation be amended or any provision of these Articles of
Incorporation be added that would have the effect of amending such sections),
without the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the Equity
Shares then outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.
(ii) The Directors, by a two-thirds (2/3) vote, may amend
provisions of these Articles of Incorporation from time to time as necessary to
enable the Company to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the REIT
Provisions of the Code. With the exception of the foregoing, the Directors may
not amend these Articles of Incorporation.
(iii) An amendment to these Articles of Incorporation shall
become effective as provided in Section 12.5.
(iv) These Articles of Incorporation may not be amended except as
provided in this Section 10.1.
SECTION 10.2 Reorganization. Subject to the provisions of any class or
series of Equity Shares at the time outstanding, the Directors shall have the
power (i) to cause the
-48-
<PAGE>
organization of a corporation, association, trust or other organization to take
over the Company Property and to carry on the affairs of the Company, or (ii)
merge the Company into, or sell, convey and transfer the Company Property to any
such corporation, association, trust or organization in exchange for Securities
thereof or beneficial interests therein, and the assumption by the transferee of
the liabilities of the Company, and upon the occurrence of (i) or (ii) above
terminate the Company and deliver such Securities or beneficial interests
ratably among the Stockholders according to the respective rights of the class
or series of Equity Shares held by them; provided, however, that any such action
shall have been approved, at a meeting of the Stockholders called for that
purpose, by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of
the Equity Shares then outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.
SECTION 10.3 Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Company Property. Subject
to the provisions of any class or series of Equity Shares at the time
outstanding, the Directors shall have the power to (i) merge the Company into
another entity, (ii) consolidate the Company with one (1) or more other entities
into a new entity; (iii) sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all
of the Company Property; or (iv) dissolve or liquidate the Company, other than
before the initial investment in Company Property; provided, however, that such
action shall have been approved, at a meeting of the Stockholders called for
that purpose, by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority
of the Equity Shares then outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. Any such
transaction involving an Affiliate of the Company or the Advisor also must be
approved by a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent
Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction as fair and reasonable
to the Company and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company
than those available from unaffiliated third parties.
In connection with any proposed Roll-Up Transaction, which, in general
terms, is any transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion, or
consolidation, directly or indirectly, of the Company and the issuance of
securities of a Roll-Up Entity that would be created or would survive after the
successful completion of the Roll-Up Transaction, an appraisal of all Properties
shall be obtained from a competent independent appraiser. The Properties shall
be appraised on a consistent basis, and the appraisal shall be based on the
evaluation of all relevant information and shall indicate the value of the
Properties as of a date immediately prior to the announcement of the proposed
Roll-Up Transaction. The appraisal shall assume an orderly liquidation of
Properties over a 12-month period. The terms of the engagement of the
independent appraiser shall clearly state that the engagement is for the benefit
of the Company and the Stockholders. A summary of the appraisal, indicating all
material assumptions underlying the appraisal, shall be included in a report to
Stockholders in connection with a proposed Roll-Up Transaction. In connection
with a proposed Roll-Up Transaction which has not been approved by vote of at
least two-thirds (2/3) of the Stockholders, the person sponsoring the Roll-Up
Transaction shall offer to Stockholders who vote against the proposed Roll-Up
Transaction the choice of:
(i) accepting the securities of a Roll-Up Entity offered in the proposed
Roll- Up Transaction; or
(ii) one of the following:
-49-

(a) remaining Stockholders of the Company and preserving
their interests therein on the same terms and conditions as existed
previously; or
(b) receiving cash in an amount equal to the Stockholder's
pro rata share of the appraised value of the net assets of the Company.
The Company is prohibited from participating in any proposed Roll-Up
Transaction:
(iii) which would result in the Stockholders having democracy
rights in a RollUp Entity that are less than the rights provided for in Sections
8.1, 8.2, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6 and 9.1 of these Articles of Incorporation;
(iv) which includes provisions that would operate as a material
impediment to, or frustration of, the accumulation of shares by any purchaser of
the securities of the Roll-Up Entity (except to the minimum extent necessary to
pre serve the tax status of the Roll-Up Entity), or which would limit the
ability of an investor to exercise the voting rights of its Securities of the
Roll-Up Entity on the basis of the number of Shares held by that investor;
(v) in which investor's rights to access of records of the
Roll-Up Entity will be less than those described in Sections 8.5 and 8.6 hereof;
or
(vi) in which any of the costs of the Roll-Up Transaction would
be borne by the Company if the Roll-Up Transaction is not approved by the
Stockholders.

other person who has been appointed to vote such shares pursuant to a bylaw or a
resolution of the board of directors of such corporation or other entity
presents a certified copy of such bylaw or resolution, in which case such person
may vote such shares. Any trustee or other fiduciary may vote shares registered
in his name as such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy.

<PAGE>
Equity Shares of the Company directly or indirectly owned by it shall
not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total
number of outstanding shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they
are held by it in a fiduciary capacity, in which case they may be voted and
shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any
given time.
The Directors may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a stockholder
may certify in writing to the Company that any Equity Shares registered in the
name of the stockholder are held for the account of a specific person other than
the stockholder. The resolution shall set forth: the class of stockholders who
may make the certification, the purpose for which the certification may be made,

provisions with respect to the procedure which the Directors consider necessary
or desirable. On receipt of such certification, the person specified in the
certification shall be regarded as, for the purposes set forth in the

stockholder who makes the certification.

chairman of the meeting may, or upon the request of any stockholder shall,
appoint one or more persons as inspectors for such meeting. Such inspectors
shall ascertain and report the number of Equity Shares represented at the
meeting based upon their determination of the validity and effect of proxies,
count all votes, report the results and perform such other acts as are proper to
conduct the election and voting with impartiality and fairness to all the
stockholders.
Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by him or by
a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting.
If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the
report of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or inspectors on the
number of shares represented at the meeting and the results of the voting shall
be prima facie evidence thereof.
SECTION 11. REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS.
(a) Not later than 120 days after the close of each fiscal year
of the Company, the Directors shall deliver or cause to be delivered a report of
the business and operations of the Company during such fiscal year to the

defined in the Articles of Incorporation) of the Company, stated as a percentage
of, for a specified period, the average of the aggregate book value of the
assets of the Company invested, directly or indirectly, in Properties and loans
secured by real estate before reserves for depreciation or bad debts or other

(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders.
(1) With respect to an annual meeting of stockholders,
nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal
of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made only (i) by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any stockholder of the
Company who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice, who is
entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set
forth in this Section 12(a).
(2) For nominations or other business to be properly
brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (ii) of
paragraph (a)(1) of this Section 12, the stockholder must have given timely
notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the Company. To be timely, a
stockholder's notice shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal
executive offices of the Company not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days
prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided,
however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by
more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from such anniversary date,
notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the
90th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business
on the later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day
following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is
first made. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth: (i) as to each person
whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a
Director all information relating to such person that is required to be
disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Directors, or is otherwise
required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange

4
<PAGE>
and to serving as a Director if elected); (ii) as to any other business that the
stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the
business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting
such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such
stockholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is
made; and (iii) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial
owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, the name and
address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Company's books, and of such
beneficial owner and the class and number of shares of the Company which are
owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.
(3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of
Section 12(a)(2) to the contrary, in the event that the number of Directors to
be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public
announcement naming all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of
the increased Board of Directors made by the Company at least 70 days prior to
the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's
notice required by this Section 12(a) shall also be considered timely, but only
with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it
shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the
Company not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day
on which such public announcement is first made by the Company.
(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be
conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before
the meeting pursuant to the Company's notice of meeting. Nominations of persons
for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of
stockholders at which Directors are to be elected pursuant to the Company's
notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii)
provided that the Board of Directors has determined that Directors shall be
elected at such special meeting, by any stockholder of the Company who is a
stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this
Section 12(b), who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the
notice procedures set forth in this Section 12(b). In the event the Company
calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more
Directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person
or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position as specified in
the Company's notice of meeting, if the stockholder's notice complies with the
requirements of Section 12(a)(2) and is delivered to the secretary at the
principal executive offices of the Company not earlier than the 90th day prior
to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of
the 60th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on
which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and
of the nominees proposed by the Directors to be elected at such meeting.
(c) General.
(1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this Section 12 shall be eligible to serve as
Directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders
as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures
set forth in this Section 12. The presiding officer of the meeting shall have
the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to
be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Section 12 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in
compliance with this Section 12, to declare that such defective nomination or
proposal be disregarded.

SECTION 3. COMMITTEE PROCEDURES. Each committee may fix rules of
procedure for its business. A majority of the members of a committee shall

thereof present at any meeting, whether or not they constitute a quorum, may
appoint another Director to act in the place of such absent member, subject to

Exhibit 10.1
Form of Escrow Agreement between CNL American Realty Fund, Inc.
and SouthTrust Asset Management Company of Florida, N.A.
<PAGE>
ESCROW AGREEMENT
THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is dated this ___ day of
_____________, 1996, by and among CNL AMERICAN REALTY FUND, INC., a Maryland
corporation (the "Company"), CNL SECURITIES CORP., a Florida corporation (the
"Managing Dealer"), and SOUTHTRUST ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY OF FLORIDA, N.A.
(the "Escrow Agent"). This Agreement shall be effective as of the effective date
of the Company's Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Effective Date").
WHEREAS, the Company proposes to offer and sell, on a best-efforts basis
through the Managing Dealer and selected broker-dealers registered with the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the Managing Dealer and such
selected broker-dealers are hereinafter referred to collectively as the
"Soliciting Dealers") up to 16,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company
(the "Shares") to investors at $10.00 per Share pursuant to a registration
statement (the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission;
WHEREAS, the Company has agreed that the subscription price paid in cash
by subscribers for Shares will be refunded to such subscribers if less than an
aggregate of 150,000 Shares of the Company have been sold (which 150,000 Shares
shall not include subscriptions from Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Ohio or
Pennsylvania investors unless subscriptions for at least 250,000 Shares (for
Iowa, Minnesota, New York and Ohio investors) and 825,000 Shares (for
Pennsylvania investors) are received and accepted from all investors), and
payment therefor received, within one year of the initial effective date of the
Company's prospectus (each date referred to herein individually as the "Closing
Date"); and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Managing Dealer desire to establish an
escrow in which funds received from subscribers will be deposited until the
Closing Date or such earlier date on which subscriptions for at least 150,000
Shares have been received (which 150,000 Shares shall not include subscriptions
from Iowa, Minnesota, New York or Pennsylvania investors), and the Escrow Agent
is willing to serve as Escrow Agent upon the terms and conditions herein set
forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged by the parties, the parties covenant and agree as follows.
1. Establishment of Escrow Accounts. On or prior to the Effective Date,
the Company and the Managing Dealer shall establish an interest-bearing escrow
account with the Escrow Agent, which escrow account shall be entitled "ESCROW
ACCOUNT FOR THE BENEFIT OF SUBSCRIBERS FOR COMMON STOCK OF CNL AMERICAN REALTY
FUND, INC. (the "Escrow Account"). All monies deposited in the Escrow Account
are hereinafter referred to as the "Escrowed Funds." The Managing Dealer will,
and will cause selected broker-dealers acting as Soliciting Dealers to, instruct
subscribers to make checks for subscriptions payable to the order of the Escrow
Agent until such time (if any) as the Escrowed Funds are deliverable to the
Company pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 5(a) below. From and after such
time, checks may be made payable to either the Escrow Agent or the Company. Any
checks received prior to the time, if any, that the Escrowed Funds are
deliverable to the Company pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 5(a) below
that are made payable to a party other than the Escrow Agent shall be returned
to the Soliciting Dealer who submitted the check. The Managing Dealer may
authorize certain Soliciting Dealers which are "$250,000 broker-dealers" to
instruct their customers to make their checks for Shares subscribed for payable
directly to the Soliciting Dealer. In such case, the Soliciting Dealer will
collect the proceeds of the subscribers' checks and issue a check made payable
to the order of the Escrow Agent for the aggregate amount of the subscription
proceeds.
2. Deposits into the Escrow Account. The Managing Dealer will
promptly deliver all monies received from subscribers for the payment of Shares
to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account. Until such time that the
Escrowed Funds are deliverable to the Company pursuant to the provisions of
Paragraph 5(a) below, the Managing Dealer also will deliver to the Escrow Agent
a written account of each sale, which account shall set forth, among other
things, the following information: (i) the subscriber's name and address, (ii)
the number of Shares purchased by such subscriber, and (iii) the amount paid for
by such subscriber for such Shares. The
<PAGE>
Company is aware and understands that, during the escrow period, it is not
entitled to any funds received into escrow and no amounts deposited in the
Escrow Account shall become the property of the Company or any other entity, or
be subject to the debts of the Company or any other entity.
3. Collection Procedure.
(a) The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to forward each check for
collection and, upon collection of the proceeds of each check, to
deposit the collected proceeds in the Escrow Account or, alternatively,
the Escrow Agent may telephone the bank on which the check is drawn to
confirm that the check has been paid.
(b) Any check returned unpaid to the Escrow Agent shall be returned
to the Soliciting Dealer that submitted the check. In such cases the
Escrow Agent will promptly notify the Company of such return.
(c) In the event that (i) the Company rejects any subscription for
Shares or (ii) an investor who has telephonically or orally subscribed
for Shares properly withdraws such subscription within fifteen (15) days
from the date written confirmation has been mailed to the subscriber,
and, in either such event, the Escrow Agent has already collected funds
for such subscription, the Escrow Agent shall promptly issue a refund
check to the drawer of the check submitted by or on behalf of the
rejected or withdrawing subscriber. If either of the events specified in
the clauses (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence occur and, in either
such event, the Escrow Agent has not yet collected funds for such
subscription but has submitted the check relating to such subscription
for collection, the Escrow Agent shall promptly issue a check in the
amount of such check to the rejected or withdrawing subscriber after the
Escrow Agent has cleared such funds. If the Escrow Agent has not yet
submitted the check relating to the subscription of the rejected or
withdrawing subscriber, the Escrow Agent shall promptly remit such check
directly to the drawer of the check submitted by or on behalf of the
subscriber.
4. Investment of Escrowed Funds. The Escrow Agent, immediately upon
receipt of each check remitted to it, shall deposit such check in
interest-bearing savings accounts, in short-term certificates of deposit issued
by a bank, or in other short-term securities directly or indirectly issued or
guaranteed by the United States government, all as directed by the Company.
Interest and dividends earned on such investments shall be similarly reinvested.
Following the distribution of Escrowed Funds to the Company pursuant to
Paragraph 5 below, any funds remaining in the Escrow Account shall be invested
in bank money market funds or other similar instruments as directed by the
Company.
5. Distribution of Escrowed Funds. The Escrow Agent shall distribute
the Escrowed Funds in the amounts, at the times, and upon the conditions
hereinafter set forth in this Agreement.
(a) Subject to the last three sentences of this Paragraph 5(a), if
at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, an aggregate of 150,000
Shares of the Company have been sold, then upon the happening of such
event, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrowed Funds to the Company.
An affidavit or certification from an officer of the Company stating
that, after excluding all Shares covered by the subscriptions described
in the last three sentences of this Paragraph 5(a), 150,000, Shares have
been timely sold, together with the receipt by the Escrow Agent of a
minimum of $1,500,000 in cleared funds attributable to sales of Shares
shall constitute sufficient evidence for the purposes of this Agreement
that such event has occurred. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall release
from the Escrow Account to the Company any and all Escrowed Funds
therein, together with all interest earned thereon, upon the written
request of an officer of the Company, except as expressly provided
otherwise in the next three sentences. First, subscriptions from
investors who are Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Ohio or Pennsylvania
residents shall not be included in determining whether the minimum
150,000 Shares have been sold, and such subscription funds shall not be
released from escrow until the Escrow Agent has received $2,500,000 (for
Iowa, Minnesota, New York and Ohio investors) and $8,250,000 (for
Pennsylvania investors) in Escrowed Funds (including any funds included
in reaching the $1,500,000 minimum) attributable to sales of Shares.
Second, subscriptions from investors who have subscribed for Shares
orally, where representatives of a Soliciting Dealer have executed the
Subscription Agreement relating to such Shares on behalf of the
-2-
<PAGE>
investor, shall not be included in determining whether the minimum
150,000 Shares have been sold for a period of ten (10) days from the
date written confirmation has been received by the subscriber, provided
that such subscriptions shall not be released from escrow until the
expiration of a period fifteen (15) days from the date written
confirmation has been mailed to the subscriber relating to such
subscriptions. Third, subscriptions from investors who received a
prospectus less than five (5) business days prior to the determination
under this subparagraph (a) of the number of available Shares to be
released from escrow as evidenced by the date of execution of such
investor's subscription agreement shall not be included in determining
whether the minimum 150,000 Shares have been sold.
(b) If the Escrowed Funds do not, on or prior to the Closing Date,
become deliverable to the Company pursuant to subparagraph (a) above,
the Escrow Agent shall return the Escrowed Funds to the respective
subscribers in amounts equal to the subscription amount theretofore paid
by each of them, together with interest calculated as described in
Paragraph 6 below and without deduction, penalty or expense to the
subscriber. The Escrow Agent shall notify the Company and the Managing
Dealer of any such return of subscription amounts. The purchase money
returned to each subscriber shall be free and clear of any and all
claims of the Company or any of its creditors.
(c) The Escrow Agent shall return to any California or Florida
investor who properly withdraws his subscription in accordance with the
terms set forth in the Prospectus the Escrowed Funds of such withdrawing
investor, as the case may be, together with interest calculated as
described in Paragraph 6 below.
6. Distribution of Interest. If the Escrowed Funds become deliverable to
subscribers pursuant to Paragraphs 5(b) or 5(c) above, the Escrow Agent shall
compute and distribute to each investor a pro rata share of the investment
earnings of the Escrowed Funds. Each subscriber's pro rata share of investment
earnings shall be computed as follows:
Individual Subscription
amount x days held
Investment Earnings x Total subscription
amounts x days held
Such pro rata share of investment earnings shall be distributed to each
subscriber with the return of their subscription amounts.
7. Liability of Escrow Agent.
(a) In performing any of its duties under this Agreement, or upon
the claimed failure to perform its duties hereunder, the Escrow Agent
shall not be liable to anyone for any damages, losses, or expenses which
it may incur as a result of the Escrow Agent so acting, or failing to
act; provided, however, the Escrow Agent shall be liable for damages
arising out of its willful default or misconduct or its gross negligence
under this Agreement. Accordingly, the Escrow Agent shall not incur any
such liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted to be
taken in good faith upon advice of its counsel or counsel for the
Company which is given with respect to any questions relating to the
duties and responsibilities of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or (ii) any
action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon any document,
including any written notice or instructions provided for in this Escrow
Agreement, not only as to its due execution and to the validity and
effectiveness of its provisions but also as to the truth and accuracy of
any information contained therein, if the Escrow Agent shall in good
faith believe such document to be genuine, to have been signed or
presented by a proper person or persons, and to conform with the
provisions of this Agreement.
(b) The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Escrow Agent against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable costs of
investigation and counsel fees and disbursements which may be incurred
by it resulting from any act or
-3-
<PAGE>
omission of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not
indemnify the Escrow Agent for any losses, claims, damages, or expenses
arising out of the Escrow Agent's willful default, misconduct, or gross
negligence under this Agreement.
(c) If a dispute ensues between any of the parties hereto which, in
the opinion of the Escrow Agent, is sufficient to justify its doing so,
the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to tender into the registry or
custody of any court of competent jurisdiction, including the Circuit
Court of Orange County, Florida, all money or property in its hands
under the terms of this Agreement, and to file such legal proceedings as
it deems appropriate, and shall thereupon be discharged from all further
duties under this Agreement. Any such legal action may be brought in any
such court as the Escrow Agent shall determine to have jurisdiction
thereof. The Company shall indemnify the Escrow Agent against its court
costs and attorneys' fees incurred in filing such legal proceedings.
8. Inability to Deliver. In the event that checks for subscriptions
delivered to the Escrow Agent by the Company pursuant to this Agreement are not
cleared through normal banking channels within 120 days after such delivery, the
Escrow Agent shall deliver such uncleared checks to the Company unless the
Escrowed Funds are returned to subscribers pursuant to Paragraphs 5(b) or 5(c)
above, in which case the Escrow Agent shall mail such uncleared checks to the
subscribers.
9. Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other communications or

shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally, given by

in the case of Properties owned by any Joint Venture or partnership in which the
Company is a co-venturer or partner, the portion of the cost of such Properties

Fee, which will not exceed fees which are competitive for similar services in

year, in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Asset
Management Fee not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without
interest and may be taken in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall

similar fees
-14-
<PAGE>
or commissions are paid by any person in connection with the transaction. The

provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by a majority of
the Independent Directors) in connection with the Sale of one or more
Properties, the Advisor or an Affiliate shall receive a Subordinated Disposition
Fee equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of a Competitive Real Estate Commission
or (ii) 3% of the sales price of such Property or Properties. The Subordinated
Disposition Fee will be paid only if Stockholders have received total
Distributions in an amount equal to the sum of their aggregate Invested Capital
and their aggregate Stockholders' 8% Return. 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 accrued and paid at such time as

Fee may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to nonAffiliates,
provided that the total real estate commissions paid to all Persons by the
Company shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6% of the Contract
Sales Price of a Property or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission. In the

earned if the Appraised Value of the Properties then owned by the Company plus
total Distributions received prior to the Termination Date equals 100% of
Invested Capital plus an amount sufficient to pay the Stockholders' 8% Return
through the Termination Date. Upon Listing, if the Advisor has accrued but not
been paid such Subordinated Disposition Fee, then for purposes of determining
whether the subordination conditions have been satisfied, Stockholders will be
deemed to have received a Distribution in the amount equal to the product of the
total number of Shares outstanding and the average closing price of the Shares
over a period, beginning 180 days after Listing, of 30 days during which the
Shares are traded.
(d) Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds. The Subordinated
Share of Net Sales Proceeds shall be payable to the Advisor in an amount equal
to 10% of Net Sales Proceeds from Sales of assets of the Company after the
Stockholders have received Distributions equal to the sum of the Stockholders'
8% Return and 100% of Invested Capital. Following Listing, no Subordinated Share
of Net Sales Proceeds will be paid to the Advisor.
(e) Subordinated Incentive Fee. Upon Listing, the Advisor shall
be paid the Subordinated Incentive Fee in an amount equal to 10% of the amount
by which (i) the market value of the Company, measured by taking the average
closing price or average of bid and asked price, as the case may be, over a
period of 30 days during which the Shares are traded, with such period beginning
180 days after Listing (the "Market Value"), plus the total Distributions paid
to Stockholders from the Company's inception until the date of Listing,
-15-
<PAGE>
exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) 100% of Invested Capital and (B) the total
Distributions required to be paid to the Stockholders in order to pay the
Stockholders' 8% Return from inception through the date the Market Value is
determined. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of
cash, Securities, a promissory note or any combination of the foregoing. The
Subordinated Incentive Fee will be reduced by the amount of any prior payment to
the Advisor of a deferred, subordinated share of Net Sales Proceeds from Sales
of assets of the Company.
(f) Secured Equipment Lease Servicing Fee. The Company shall pay
to the Advisor out of the Proceeds of the Equipment Loan as compensation for
negotiating its respective Secured Equipment Leases and supervising the Secured
Equipment Lease program a fee equal to 2% of the purchase price of the Equipment
subject to each Secured Equipment Lease upon entering into such lease.
(g) Loans from Affiliates. If any loans are made to the Company
by an Affiliate of the Advisor, the maximum amount of interest that may be
charged by such Affiliate shall be the lesser of (i) 1% above the prime rate of
interest charged from time to time by The Bank of New York and (ii) the rate
that would be charged to the Company by unrelated lending institutions on
comparable loans for the same purpose. The terms of any such loans shall be no
less favorable than the terms available between non-Affiliated Persons for
similar commercial loans.
(h) Changes to Fee Structure. In the event of Listing, the
Company and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee
structure appropriate for a perpetuallife entity. A majority of the Independent
Directors must approve the new fee structure negotiated with the Advisor. In
negotiating a new fee structure, the Independent Directors shall consider all of
the factors they deem relevant, including, but not limited to: (i) the amount of
the advisory fee in relation to the asset value, composition and profitability
of the Company's portfolio; (ii) the success of the Advisor in generating
opportunities that meet the investment objectives of the Company; (iii) the
rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by Advisors
performing the same or similar services; (iv) additional revenues realized by
the Advisor 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 REIT or by others
with whom the REIT does business; (v) the quality and extent of service and
advice furnished by the Advisor; (vi) the performance of the investment
portfolio of the REIT, including income, conversion or appreciation of capital,
and number and frequency of problem investments; and (vii) the quality of the
Property, Mortgage Loan, Loan and Secured Equipment Lease portfolio of the
Company in relationship to the investments generated by the Advisor for its own
account. The new fee structure can be no more favorable to the Advisor than the
current fee structure.

not limited to:
(i) the Company's Organizational and Offering Expenses;
(ii) Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the
selection and acquisition of Properties at the lesser of the actual cost or 90%
of the competitive rate charged by unaffiliated persons providing similar goods

expense of doing business;

(xii) expenses of maintaining communications with Stockholders,
including the cost of preparation, printing, and mailing annual reports and
other Stockholder reports, proxy statements and other reports required by
governmental entities;
(xiii) expenses related to negotiating and servicing Loans and
Mortgage Loans;
(xiv) expenses related to negotiating and servicing Secured
Equipment Leases and administering the Secured Equipment Lease program;
(xv) administrative service expenses (including personnel costs;
provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be made for costs of personnel to
the extent that such personnel perform services in transactions for which the
Advisor receives a separate fee); and
(xvi) audit, accounting and legal fees.
(b) Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and
payable pursuant to this Paragraph 10 shall be reimbursed no less than monthly
to the Advisor. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses
of the Company during each quarter, and shall deliver such statement to the
Company within 45 days after the end of each quarter.
(11) Other Services. Should the Directors request that the Advisor or
any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company other
than set forth in Paragraph 3, such services shall be separately compensated at
such rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and the Independent
Directors of the Company, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles
of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement.
(12) Fidelity Bond. The Advisor shall maintain a fidelity bond for the
benefit of the Company which bond shall insure the Company from losses of up to
$10 million per occurrence and shall be of the type customarily purchased by
entities performing services similar to those provided to the Company by the
Advisor.
(13) Reimbursement to the Advisor. The Company shall not reimburse the
Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter Operating Expenses that, in the four
consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the "Expense Year") exceed (the "Excess
Amount") the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the
"2%/25% Guidelines") for such year. Any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during
a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company. If there is an Excess Amount in
any Expense Year and the Independent Directors determine that such Excess Amount
was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem
sufficient, the Excess Amount may be carried over and included in Operating
Expenses in subsequent Expense Years, and reimbursed to the Advisor in one or
more of
-18-
<PAGE>
such years, provided that Operating Expenses in any Expense Year, including any
Excess Amount to be paid to the Advisor, shall not exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines.
Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which
total Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines and
the Independent Directors determine that the Excess Amount was justified, there
shall be sent to the Stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, together
with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in
determining that such Excess Amount was justified. Such determination shall be
reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors. The Company
will not reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates for services for which the
Advisor or its Affiliates are entitled to compensation in the form of a separate
fee. All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis.
(14) Other Activities of the Advisor. Nothing herein contained shall
prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including, without
limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and
the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor
or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any
director, officer, employee, or stockholder of the Advisor 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 Advisor
may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also
render advice and service to each and every other participant therein. The
Advisor shall report to the Directors the existence of any condition or
circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates
or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor's obligations to the
Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other partnership,
corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor or its
Affiliates shall promptly disclose to the Directors knowledge of such condition
or circumstance. If the Sponsor, Advisor, Director or Affiliates thereof have
sponsored other investment programs with similar investment objectives which
have investment funds available at the same time as the Company, it shall be the
duty of the Directors (including the Independent Directors) to adopt the method
set forth in the Registration Statement or another reasonable method by which
properties are to be allocated to the competing investment entities and to use
their best efforts to apply such method fairly to the Company.
The Advisor shall be required to use its best efforts to present a continuing
and suitable investment program to the Company which is consistent with the
investment policies and objectives of the Company, but neither the Advisor nor
any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any
particular investment opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of
character which, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company. The
Advisor or its Affiliates may make such an investment in a property only after
(i) such investment has been offered to the Company and all public partnerships
and other investment entities affiliated with the Company with funds available
for such investment and (ii) such investment is found to be unsuitable for
investment by the Company, such partnerships and investment entities.
-19-
<PAGE>
In the event that the Advisor or its Affiliates is presented with a potential
investment which might be made by the Company and by another investment entity
which the Advisor or its Affiliates advises or manages, the Advisor shall
consider the investment portfolio of each entity, cash flow of each entity, the
effect of the acquisition on the diversification of each entity's portfolio,
rental payments during any renewal period, the estimated income tax effects of
the purchase on each entity, the policies of each entity relating to leverage,
the funds of each entity available for investment and the length of time such
funds have been available for investment. In the event that an investment
opportunity becomes available which is suitable for both the Company and a
public or private entity which the Advisor or its Affiliates are Affiliated,
then the entity which has had the longest period of time elapse since it was
offered an investment opportunity will first be offered the investment
opportunity.
(15) Relationship of Advisor and Company. The Company and the Advisor
are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or
impose any liability as such on either of them.
(16) Term; Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in
force until ________ __, 1997, subject to an unlimited number of successive
one-year renewals upon mutual consent of the parties. It is the duty of the
Directors to evaluate the performance of the Advisor or annually before renewing
the Agreement, and each such agreement shall have a term of no more than one
year.
(17) Termination by Either Party. This Agreement may be terminated upon
60 days written notice without Cause or penalty, by either party (by a majority
of the Independent Directors of the Company or a majority of the Board of
Directors of the Advisor, as the case may be).
(18) Assignment to an Affiliate. This Agreement may be assigned by the
Advisor to an Affiliate with the approval of a majority of the Directors
(including a majority of the Independent Directors). The Advisor may assign any
rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining
the approval of the Directors. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the
Company without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment
by the Company to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to
all of the assets, rights and obligations of 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.
(19) Payments to and Duties of Advisor Upon Termination. Payments to
the Advisor pursuant to this Section (19) shall be subject to the 2%/25%
Guidelines to the extent applicable.
(a) After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall not be entitled
to compensation for further services hereunder except it shall be entitled to
receive from the
-20-
<PAGE>
Company within 30 days after the effective date of such termination all unpaid
reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Advisor
prior to termination of this Agreement.
(b) Upon termination, the Advisor shall be entitled to payment of
the Performance Fee if performance standards satisfactory to a majority of the
Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, when
compared to (a) the performance of the Advisor in comparison with its
performance for other entities, and (b) the performance of other advisors for
similar entities, have been met. If Listing has not occurred, the Performance
Fee, if any, shall equal 10% of the amount, if any, by which (i) the appraised
value of the assets of the Company on the Termination Date, less the amount of
all indebtedness secured by such assets, plus the total Distributions paid to
stockholders from the Company's inception through the Termination Date, exceeds
(ii) Invested Capital plus an amount equal to the Stockholders' 8% Return from
inception through the Termination Date. The Advisor shall be entitled to receive
all accrued but unpaid compensation and expense reimbursements in cash within 30
days of the Termination Date. All other amounts payable to the Advisor in the
event of a termination shall be evidenced by a promissory note and shall be
payable from time to time.
(c) The Performance Fee shall be paid in 12 equal quarterly
installments without interest on the unpaid balance, provided, however, that no
payment will be made in any quarter in which such payment would jeopardize the
Company's REIT status, in which case any such payment or payments will be
delayed until the next quarter in which payment would not jeopardize REIT
status. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any amounts which may be deemed
payable at the date the obligation to pay the Performance Fee is incurred which
relate to the appreciation of the Company's assets shall be an amount which
provides compensation to the Advisor only for that portion of the holding period
for the respective assets during which the Advisor provided services to the
Company.
(d) If Listing occurs, the Performance Fee, if any, payable
thereafter will be as negotiated between the Company and the Advisor. The
Advisor shall not be entitled to payment of the Performance Fee in the event
this Agreement is terminated because of failure of the Company and the Advisor
to establish, pursuant to Paragraph 9(h) hereof, a fee structure appropriate for
a perpetual-life entity at such time, if any, as Listing occurs.
(e) The Advisor 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 Directors 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 Directors;
-21-
<PAGE>
(iii) deliver to the Directors all assets, including Properties,
Mortgage Loans, Loans, and Secured Equipment Leases, and documents of the
Company then in the custody of the Advisor; and
(iv) cooperate with the Company to provide an orderly management
transition.
(20) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective
officers, directors, partners and employees, from all liability, claims, damages
or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent such liability,
claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by
insurance, subject to any limitations imposed by the laws of the State of
Maryland or the Articles of Incorporation of the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Advisor shall not be entitled to indemnification or be held
harmless pursuant to this paragraph 20 for any activity for which the Advisor
shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the Company pursuant to
paragraph 21. Any indemnification of the Advisor may be made only out of the net
assets of the Company and not from Stockholders.
(21) Indemnification by Advisor. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Company from contract or other 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 Advisor's bad faith,
fraud, willful misfeasance, misconduct, negligence or reckless disregard of its
duties, but the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the
Board of Directors in following or declining to follow any advice or
recommendation given by the Advisor.
(22) 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 required by the Articles of
Incorporation, the Bylaws, or accepted by the party to whom it is given, and
shall be given by being delivered by hand or by overnight mail or other
overnight delivery service to the addresses set forth herein:

terminated, or discharged, in whole or in part, except by an instrument in
writing signed by both parties hereto, or their respective successors or
assignees.
(24) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of
and severable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered
invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or
others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.

and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature

control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade
inconsistent with any of the terms hereof. This Agreement may not be modified or
amended other than by an agreement in writing.
(27) 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

name "CNL." Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the
Company ceases to retain CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof to
perform the services of Advisor, the Directors of the Company will, promptly
after receipt of written request from CNL Fund Advisors, Inc., cease to conduct
business under or use the name "CNL" 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 "CNL" or any other word or words that might, in the sole
discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of
relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any Affiliate thereof.

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

$200,000 in exchange for 20,000 Equity Shares (the "Initial Investment"). The
Advisor or its Affiliates may not sell any of the Equity Shares purchased with
the Initial Investment for a period of one year following completion of the
Offering and may only sell Equity Shares representing the Initial Investment
through the market on which the Equity Shares are normally traded. The
restrictions included above shall not apply to any Equity Shares, other than the
Equity Shares acquired through the Initial Investment, acquired by the Advisor
or its Affiliates. The Advisor shall not vote any Equity Shares it now owns, or
hereafter acquires, in any vote for the removal of Directors or any vote
regarding the approval or termination of any contract with the Advisor or any of
its Affiliates.

Co-Venturer
CNL

2.3 Capital Accounts. As used herein, the term "Capital Account"
shall mean the book account which shall be maintained and determined for each
Partner in a manner which
3
<PAGE>
complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), as amended. Each
Partner's Capital Account shall reflect, among other items, (i) all
contributions made by such Partner to the Joint Venture, (ii) all allocations of

made to such Partner. No Partner shall have the right to withdraw capital from

2.4 Allocation of Profits, Losses and Distributions.
(a) Net Operating Profits and Losses. The net operating profits
and losses of the Joint Venture shall be determined as of the end of each fiscal
year and shall be allocated to Co-Venturer and CNL in accordance with their
respective Percentage Interests. The "net operating profits and losses" of the
Joint Venture to be allocated pursuant to this Article 2.4(a) for any fiscal
year or other period shall mean (i) the gross operating income of the Joint
Venture from all sources, excluding all gains and losses recognized by the Joint
Venture with respect to a sale, exchange or other disposition of all or a
substantial part of the Joint Venture's property, as calculated for federal
income tax purposes, plus (ii) any income of the Joint Venture that is exempt
from federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing gross
income for federal income tax purposes, and reduced by (a) all items of expense
or deduction that are allowable as deductions to the Joint Venture for such
period for federal income tax purposes, including, without limitation,
depreciation and amortization, (b) any expenditures of the Joint Venture
described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or treated as expenditures described in such section pursuant to
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), and not otherwise taken into
account in computing taxable income, and (c) any income, gain or loss specially
allocated to any Partner under Articles 2.4(d) or (e) below.
(b) Non-operating Profits. Subject to Articles 2.4(d) and (e),
taxable gain recognized by the Joint Venture with respect to a sale, exchange or
other disposition of all or a substantial part of the Joint Venture's property
(as determined for federal income tax purposes in accordance with the Joint
Venture's accounting method and Section 703 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended) shall be allocated as follows:
(i) First to the Partners having negative balances in
their Capital Accounts, in the proportion that the negative balance in
each such Partner's Capital Account bears to the aggregate negative
balances in the Capital Accounts of all such Partners, until the
balances in their Capital Accounts are increased to zero; and
(ii) The balance, if any, shall be allocated to
Co-Venturer and CNL in accordance with their respective Percentage
Interests.
(c) Non-operating Losses. Subject to Articles 2.4(d) and (e),
taxable loss recognized by the Joint Venture with respect to a sale, exchange or
other disposition of all or a substantial part of the Joint Venture's property
(as determined for federal income tax purposes in accordance with the Joint
Venture's accounting method and Section 703 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended) shall be allocated as follows:
4
<PAGE>
(i) First to the Partners with positive balances in their
Capital Accounts, in the proportion that the positive balance in
each such Partner's Capital Account bears to the aggregate
positive balances in the Capital Accounts of all such Partners,
until the balances in their Capital Accounts are reduced to zero;
and
(ii) The balance, if any, shall be allocated to
Co-Venturer and CNL in accordance with their respective
Percentage Interest.
(d) General Provisions. Whenever a proportionate part of the
Joint Venture profits, gains or losses is credited or charged to a Partner's
Capital Account, every item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit entering
into the computation of such profit, gain or loss, as applicable to the period
during which such profit, gain or loss is realized, shall be considered credited
or charged, as the case may be, to such account in the same proportion. For
purposes of allocating gains or losses arising from a sale, exchange or other
disposition of all or a substantial part of the Joint Venture's property, the
Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be determined as if the Joint Venture's
taxable year had ended immediately prior to the sale or other disposition giving
rise to such gains or losses. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to
property contributed to the Joint Venture by any partner shall be shared between
the Partners so as to take into account the variation between the basis of such
property and its fair market value at the time of contribution in accordance
with Section 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As between
a Partner and its transferee, net operating profits and losses for any fiscal
year (or portion thereof, as the case may be), shall be apportioned between the
transferor and transferee in accordance with the ratio that the number of days
in the Joint Venture's fiscal year prior to the effective date of transfer bears
to the number of such days thereafter (including the effective date of
transfer).
(e) Depreciation Recapture. Any depreciation recapture under
Sections 1245 or 1250 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, shall be
allocated to the Partners in the proportions in which the original depreciation
deductions being recaptured were allocated to them.
(f) Distributions of Net Cash Flow. "Net Cash Flow" shall mean
all cash receipts of the Joint Venture (other than Capital Contributions and
proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposition of all or a substantial part
of the Joint Venture's property in connection with, or which results in, the
liquidation of the Joint Venture pursuant to Article VI below), plus any amounts
which the Partners, in their sole discretion, agree shall be released from
reserves or otherwise made available for distribution, and less all expenses and
current obligations of the Joint Venture (including payments of principal and
interest on any loans, including loans from Partners) and amounts which the
Partners, in their sole discretion, agree shall be added to Joint Venture
reserves. Subject to Article 2.4(g) below, distributions of Net Cash Flow shall
be made from time to time in the discretion of the Partners, but at least
monthly, to CNL and Co-Venturer in accordance with their respective Percentage
Interests.

<PAGE>
(g) Limitations on Cash Distributions. Any distributions of
Net Cash Flow shall be subject to the following limitations, restrictions and
conditions:
(i) At the time of any distribution the Joint Venture must
have available to it cash funds sufficient for such distribution
after taking into account the amounts which the Partners agree
should be set aside to provide a reasonable reserve for expenses
of conducting the business of the Joint Venture; and
(ii) No distribution shall be made by the Joint Venture
if, immediately after such distribution, the Joint Venture's
assets do not exceed all of its liabilities, exclusive of
liabilities to the Partners on account of their Capital
Contributions.
ARTICLE III
MANAGEMENT AND DUTIES OF PARTNERS
3.1 Rights, Power and Restrictions of Payments. Except as expressly
provided to the contrary in this Article 3.1, no Partner, without the consent of
all the other Partners, shall:
(a) Do any act which would make it impossible to carry on the
ordinary business of the Venture;
(b) Confess judgment against the Venture;
(c) Possess Venture property, or assign its interest or rights
in specific Venture property, for other than a Venture purpose;
(d) Borrow any funds or incur any liability on behalf of the
Venture;
(e) Encumber any Venture property, including, without
limitation, the Real Property;
(f) Sell or lease any Venture property; and
(g) Lend any money on behalf of the Venture.
3.2 Day to Day Management. Because the Real Property will be net leased,
it is not anticipated that substantial management responsibilities on the part
of the Venture will exist. However, the Partners agree that CNL, through its
designee, CNL Investment Company, 400 East South Street, Suite 500, Orlando,
Florida 32801, shall receive the monthly rental payments from the tenant and
place such payments into a new bank account established in the name of the Joint
Venture. From such account, distributions shall be made pursuant to Article
2.4(f) hereof. No fees or other charges shall be made by CNL for these
administrative duties except actual out-of-pocket costs for establishing the
bank account and acquisition of checks therefor, service charges and other
charges of like nature.
6
<PAGE>
In addition, CNL shall be responsible for maintaining landlord/tenant
relationships with tenant and for monitoring gross sales of the tenant and such
other analysis as shall be necessary to determine whether additional percentage
rental is due from tenant, and for performing or supervising all functions
incident to the day-to-day management of the Real Property.
No charges shall be made by CNL for such services rendered to the Joint
Venture. However, the Joint Venture shall reimburse CNL for its actual
out-of-pocket costs incurred which relate to the management of the Real
Property, and such costs shall be a Venture expense.
3.3 Joint Venture Real Property. The Real Property of the Joint Venture
shall be held in the name of the Joint Venture for the sole exclusive benefit of
the Joint Venture. Any and all leases and amendments thereto, sales tax
application forms, tangible personal property tax returns, Joint Venture income
tax returns or other documents requiring the signature of the Joint Venture
shall be signed by CNL on behalf of the Joint Venture. Additionally, any deed or
other document required to be signed by the Joint Venture with respect to the
sale, lease or mortgaging of the property (only as permitted hereunder) may be
executed in the name of the Joint Venture by CNL, acting by itself and without
the joinder of Co-Venturer or, alternatively, by all Partners.
ARTICLE IV
ACCOUNTING; BANK ACCOUNTS
4.1 Books and Records. At all times during the term hereof, the Venture
shall maintain, at a place mutually agreed by the Partners, accurate books and
records of account in which shall be entered all matters relating to the
Venture, including all income, expenditures, assets and liabilities thereof.
Such books of account shall be maintained on the accrual basis (unless otherwise
agreed by the Partners) and shall be adequate to provide either Partner with all
financial information as may be needed by any Partner or any affiliate of such
Partner for the purpose of satisfying the financial reporting obligations of
such Partner or its respective affiliate or affiliates.
Each Partner shall be entitled to any additional information necessary
for the Partner to adjust his financial basis statement to a tax basis as the
Partner's individual needs may dictate.
Each Partner, its authorized representatives, and any supervisory or
regulatory authority (through its appropriate representatives) shall have the
right to inspect, examine and copy the books, records, files and other documents
of the Venture at all reasonable times at the expense of the party requiring
such information.
4.2 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Venture shall end on
December 31 of each year.
4.3 Bank Accounts. Funds of the Venture shall be deposited in an account
in the name of the Venture in a bank approved by the Partners. Subject to the
provisions of Article 3.2, withdrawals from such bank account shall be made upon
the signature of any of the persons designated by the Joint Venture upon the
opening of the account.
7
<PAGE>
4.4 Tax Returns. Tax returns of the Venture shall be prepared by the
certified public accounting firm selected and approved by the Partners. Copies
of tax returns of the Venture shall be furnished for review and approval by each
of the Partners at least thirty (30) days prior to the statutory date for
filing, including extensions thereof, if any. Prompt notice shall be given to
all Partners upon receipt of advice that the Internal Revenue Service intends to
examine the Venture income tax return for any year.
ARTICLE V
VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL, ASSIGNMENT OR SALE OF
PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
5.1 Right to Withdraw. Except as otherwise provided in Articles 5.2 and
5.3 hereof, either Partner shall have the limited right to withdraw from the
Joint Venture and sell its interest in the Venture to the remaining Partner only
upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon in writing by the Partners.
5.2 Bona Fide Third Party Offer. In the event one Partner desires to
withdraw from the Venture but no agreement can be reached between the Partners
as to the terms and conditions of sale for such Partner's interest within ten
(10) days from such time as the Partner desiring to withdraw from the Venture
notifies in writing the remaining Partner of its desire to withdraw and sell its
interest in the Venture, then the Partner desiring to withdraw from the Venture
shall be entitled to solicit and obtain a bona fide offer from an unrelated
third party to purchase its entire interest in the Venture. In such event, the
following provisions shall apply:
(a) If the Partner desiring to withdraw has obtained a bona fide
offer to purchase its interest in the Venture from an unrelated third party, and
if it desires to accept such offer, then that Partner shall cause such offer to
be reduced to writing and delivered to the remaining Partner.
(b) The remaining Partner then, within sixty (60) days after
delivery of such bona fide offer to the remaining Partner, may elect to purchase
the Venture interest of the Partner desiring to withdraw from the Venture at the
price and on the terms set forth in such offer. In the event the remaining
Partner shall fail to timely exercise its option described in the immediately
preceding sentence, then the Partner desiring to dispose of its interest in the
Venture may transfer its inerest to the person or persons who made the bona fide
third party offer, provided that such sale is made strictly in accordance with
the terms set forth in such offer and the person or persons or entity so
acquiring such interest shall hold such interest subject to all the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
(c) In the event of a sale of a Partner's Venture interest to a
third party in accordance with this Article V, a duly executed and acknowledged
instrument of assignment shall be filed with the Joint Venture. Further, the
selling Partner and assignee shall execute and acknowledge such other instrument
or instruments as the other Partner shall deem reasonably necessary or desirable
to effectuate such sale and the admission of the assignee of the interest to
8
<PAGE>
the Joint Venture, including the written acceptance and adoption by the assignee
of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as the same may have been
theretofore amended. Further, such assignee shall pay to the Joint Venture all
reasonable expenses incurred by the Venture and the other Partner in connection
with such assignment and substitution. Finally, in the event of such a sale and
substitution, the selling Partner shall pay to the Joint Venture any and all
sums owed by it to the Joint Venture.
(d) If for any reason the sale of a Partner's entire interest in
the Venture which is the subject of a bona fide third party offer is not
concluded by the Partner desiring to withdraw from the Venture and the third
party on or before the closing date which is set forth in the original bona fide
third party offer, then the provisions contained in this Article V shall be
reimposed in their entirety, and such bona fide third party offer, as well as
any other offer(s) for such Partner's entire interest in the Venture, must again
be submitted to the remaining Partner pursuant to the terms hereof.
(e) For the purpose of this Article V, a bona fide third party
offer shall not include any offer which is assignable by the prospective
purchaser.
5.3 Buy-Sell Agreement. In the event that one Partner desires to sell
the Real Property and the other Partner does not desire to sell the Real
Property, then in that event either Partner (sometimes hereinafter referred to
as the "Offering Partner") may deliver a written notice (the "Notification") to
the other Partner (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Non-Offering
Partner"). The Notification shall state that the Offering Partner intends to
purchase the entire Joint Venture interest of the Non-Offering Partner, the
purchase price (which shall be stated in terms of a specific dollar amount per
each one percent (1%) in Percentage Interest) which the Offering Partner will
pay for such Joint Venture interest, the terms of payment, whether for cash or
credit, and if on credit, the term, dates of payment, interest rate and security
or collateral arrangements, as well as any and all other consideration being
received or paid in connection with the proposed transaction, and any and all
other terms, conditions, and details of such offer. The Notification shall also
state that the Non-Offering Partner shall have ninety (90) days from the date of
delivery of the Notification either to sell its entire Joint Venture interest to
the Offering Partner, or to purchase the entire Joint Venture interest of the
Offering Partner, with such purchase or sale to be consummated strictly upon the
terms and conditions, and for the price per Percentage Interest, set forth in
the Notification.
5.4 No Assignment, Pledge or Encumbrance. Except as otherwise provided
in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, no Partner shall have the right to sell, assign,
pledge, encumber or otherwise hypothecate its interest in this Joint Venture
without the prior written consent of the remaining Partner. In the event any
person or entity shall obtain a lien, charging order or similar right as a
creditor against any Partner's Venture interest, the person or entity obtaining
such status shall be in the status of a prospective purchaser of such Partner's
interest but with no right to be admitted to the Venture as a joint venturer or
Partner. In the event the Partner against whom such lien, charging order or
similar right exists shall fail to discharge (by bond, full payment or
otherwise) such lien, charging order or similar right within sixty (60) days
subsequent to its
9
<PAGE>
effective date and such Partner's knowledge thereof, the remaining Partner shall
be entitled to purchase such other Partner's Venture interest for a sum equal to
the amount of the lien, charging order or similar right. Payment of such sum to
the creditor by the remaining Partner and discharge of such lien, charging order
or similar right shall simultaneously cause a termination in full of the Venture
interest of the Partner against whom such lien, charging order or similar right
as a creditor existed.
5.5 No Partition. Each of the Partners does hereby waive any and all
rights that it may have to maintain any action for partition with respect to any
Joint Venture property or to compel any sale thereof, it being understood that
this Article 5.5 shall not act to limit the right of any Partner to sell or
convey its interest in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
DISSOLUTION
6.1 Events. The Joint Venture shall be dissolved upon the occurrence
of any of the following events:
(a) The expiration of the term of the Joint Venture as set
forth herein.
(b) Upon mutual written agreement of the Partners.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
adjudication of bankruptcy, insolvency or cessation of the existence as a legal

jurisdiction ordering the dissolution of the Joint Venture after time for all
rights of appeal have elapsed or have been finally concluded upholding the
dissolution order.

substantial part, of the Joint Venture's property.
6.2 Liquidation. Upon the dissolution of the Joint Venture, the Partners
shall cause the Joint Venture's affairs to be wound up, its receivables
collected and its assets liquidated within a reasonable period of time, a final
accounting made and the books of the Joint Venture closed, with the proceeds,
after expenses of such liquidation, to be distributed as follows:
(a) First, to the satisfaction of all debts and obligations of
the Joint Venture, other than debts and obligations to Partners;

loans;
10
<PAGE>

both net operating profits and losses and gains and losses arising from the
sale, exchange, or other disposition of all or any substantial part of the Joint
Venture's property) have been made pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, any proceeds
then remaining shall be distributed to the Partners to the extent of, and in
proportion to, their respective positive Capital Account balances.
ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
Each Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Partner against
any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, lawsuits or other
proceedings, judgments or awards, costs and expenses (including but not limited
to reasonable attorneys' fees) arising directly or indirectly by reason of such
indemnifying Partner's breach of this Agreement or acting outside the scope of
its authority hereunder.
ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS; MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Separate Businesses. Partners may engage in any other business,
investment or profession, including the investment and the ownership, financing,

Venture nor any other Partner shall have any rights in and to any said business,
profession or investment or the income or the profits derived therefrom by
reason of this Agreement.

authorized by the other Partner in the manner set forth herein.
8.3 Arbitration. No civil action concerning any dispute arising under
this Agreement shall be instituted before any court and all such disputes shall
be submitted to final and binding arbitration under the auspices of the American
Arbitration Association. Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with
the rules of such association before a single arbitrator. The Partners agree
that the interests of the Joint Venture cannot be readily sold in the open
market, and for that reason, among others, the Partners will be irreparably
damaged in the event that this Agreement is not specifically enforced.
Therefore, in addition to any award of damages, any such award shall, if the
Partner entitled to the same demands it, grant specific performance of this
Agreement. All costs and expenses of the arbitration, including actual

arbitrator's discretion. The arbitrator's award resulting from such arbitration
may be confirmed and entered as a final judgment in any court of competent
jurisdiction and enforced accordingly. Further, the Partners hereto expressly
agree
11
<PAGE>
that proceeding to arbitration and obtaining an award thereunder shall be a
condition precedent to the bringing or maintaining of any action in any court
with respect to any dispute arising under this Agreement, except for the
institution of a civil action to maintain the status quo during the pendency of
any arbitration proceeding.
8.4 Venture Acts. In no event shall this Agreement grant unto any
Partner the authority to act on behalf of the other Partners with respect to
matters not directly related to the purpose of the Venture as set forth herein.
This Agreement shall not grant unto any Partner any interest, claim or liability
whatsoever with respect to any other assets or liabilities of the other
Partners.
8.5 Representative of each Partner. CNL is a Florida limited
partnership. Co-Venturer is a Florida limited partnership. The general
partner(s) of each Partner shall designate to the other, in writing, a single
individual or entity to speak on its behalf with respect to all Joint Venture
matters. In no event shall any individual limited partner or general partner not
so designated be entitled to make any independent demands of the Joint Venture
whatsoever.
8.6 Notices. All written notices or demands of any kind which any
Partner may be required or may desire to serve on the other in connection with
this Agreement may be served by personal service or by registered or certified
mail and shall be deposited in the United States Mail with postage thereon fully
prepaid, registered or certified, and addressed to the Partners so to be served

prior oral or written agreements between them with respect hereto. This
Agreement may not be altered or amended except by written agreement duly

Partners hereto, notwithstanding each of the Partners are not signatory to the
original or the same counterpart.
8.11 Paragraph Titles. Titles of the paragraphs and sub-paragraphs are
placed herein for convenient reference only and shall not to any extent have the
effect of modifying, amending or changing the express terms and provisions of
this Agreement.
8.12 Severability. In the event any of the parts of this Agreement are
found to be void, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless
be binding with the same effect as though the void parts were deleted.

event the condition set forth in (a) has been fulfilled, one hundred fifty (150)
days after the date hereof the construction of the restaurant has not been
completed as evidenced by the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, then the
Owner shall have the right and option to convey the Property and the
improvements completed to the date of such conveyance (the "Premises") to
Developer subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Owner shall
notify Developer that the 60-day or 150-day period has expired, or is about to
expire and that Owner is exercising its option to sell Developer the Property.
2. In the event the Owner notifies Developer of its election to convey
the Premises to Developer, the Owner shall deliver to Developer or its designee
a quitclaim deed conveying all of the Owner's right, title and interest in the
Premises. Developer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Owner an amount equal
to the total amount disbursed by Owner through the date of such reconveyance

accuracy of all representations, warranties, and certifications of Tenant, the
satisfaction of all conditions by Tenant and the full and timely performance of
all obligations to be performed by Tenant under or pursuant to the Documents.
3. The obligation of Guarantor hereunder is primary, joint and several
and independent of the obligation of any and every other guarantor, if any,
whether or not such action is brought against Tenant or any other guarantor and
whether or not Tenant or any other guarantor be joined in such action or
actions. With respect to these persons and the subject matter of any dispute
wherein Landlord may be attempting to enforce any of the obligations guaranteed
hereby against any other person, party or Guarantor, Guarantor jointly and
severally hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of (i) the state where
the real property which is the subject of the Lease Agreement referenced in
Paragraph 1.A hereof is located and (ii) any other jurisdiction where Tenant
engages in business.
4. Guarantor authorizes Landlord, without notice or demand and without
affecting their liability hereunder, from time to time, to: (a) renew,
compromise, extend, accelerate, reduce the amount of, change the time for
payment of or otherwise change the terms of the obligations guaranteed hereby;
(b) take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the obligations
guaranteed, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; (c)
apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Landlord
in its discretion may determine; (d) release or substitute Tenant or any one or
more guarantor; and (e) assign this Guaranty in whole or in part.
5. Guarantor hereby waives the benefit of any defense against the
enforcement of this Guaranty against Guarantor or any defense which Tenant might
have against Landlord (except such defenses as, by law, cannot be expressly
waived), including without limitation: (a) any right to require Landlord to (i)
proceed against Tenant, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security, (iii)
proceed against any other guarantor, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in
Landlord's power
<PAGE>

its obligation to carry insurance in the amount required under subparagraph
4(b), then Tenant shall be obligated to pay toward said reconstruction or to

paragraph.

throughout the term of this Lease and any extension or renewal thereof, keep the
Premises insured with "all risk" coverage, including builder's risk if
applicable, ("all risk" as such term is used in the insurance industry) for the

zone, then additional coverage shall be obtained by Tenant in amounts and in
forms acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of such
policies or certificates of such coverage, and the policy or policies shall name

damage to Tenant's Property, and the insurance proceeds applicable to Tenant's
Property shall not be paid to Landlord or any mortgagee but shall accrue and be
payable solely to Tenant. In the event of a casualty, Tenant shall be

public liability insurance covering the Premises, for the joint benefit of and
insuring Tenant and Landlord, with coverage of not less than $2,000,000.00 per
occurrence, with any deductible to be approved by Landlord, and with a general
aggregate limit of not less than $__0,000,000.00. Landlord (and if Landlord is
either a general or limited partnership, all general partners) shall be named as
an additional insured (or, if elected by Landlord, loss payee). All such
policies of insurance shall provide that the amount thereof shall not be reduced
and that none of the provisions, agreements or covenants contained therein shall
be modified or cancelled by the insuring company or companies without thirty
(30) days prior written notice being given to all parties to this Lease. A copy
of the policy or certificate of such insurance shall be delivered to Landlord
and shall be
4
<PAGE>
issued by a company or companies licensed to do business in the state where the
Premises are located.

covering risk of loss due to the occurrence of any of the hazards insured
against under Tenants' "all risk" coverage insurance and providing coverage in
an amount sufficient to permit the payment of rents payable hereunder for a
period (in such case) of not less than six (6) months. All such policies of
insurance shall provide that Landlord is additional insured (or, if elected by
Landlord, loss payee); and that the amount thereof shall not be reduced and that
none of the provisions, agreements or covenants contained therein shall be
modified or cancelled by the insuring company or companies without thirty (30)
days prior written notice being given to all parties to this Lease. A copy of
the policy or certificate of such insurance shall be delivered to Landlord and
shall be issued by a company or companies licensed to do business in the state
where the Premises are located.
(e) All insurance companies providing the coverage required under this
Paragraph 4 shall be selected by Tenant and shall be rated A minus (A-) or
better by Best's Insurance Rating Service, shall be licensed to write insurance
policies in the state in which the Premises is located, and shall be acceptable
to Landlord in Landlord's reasonable discretion.
5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
(a) Tenant shall maintain the Premises and all buildings and
improvements thereon (interior and exterior, structural and otherwise) in good
order and repair and, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4(a) with respect
to damage within the last twenty-four (24) months of the Lease, and paragraph 6
herein, return the Premises and all buildings and improvements thereon at the
expiration of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof in as reasonably
as good condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
(b) Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation under this
Lease to make any repairs or replacements (including the replacement of obsolete
components) to the Premises or the buildings or improvements thereon, or any
alteration, addition, change, substitution or improvement thereof or thereto,
whether structural or otherwise. The terms "repair" and "replacement" include
the replacement of any portions of the Premises which have outlived their useful
life during the term of the Lease (or any extensions thereof). Landlord and
Tenant intend that the rent received by Landlord shall be free and clear of any
expense to Landlord for the construction, care, maintenance (including common
area maintenance charges and charges accruing under easements or other
agreements relating to the Premises), operation, repair, replacement,
alteration, addition, change, substitution and improvement of or to the Premises
and any building and improvement thereon. Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remain responsible for, and shall pay to
Landlord, any cost, charge or expense for which Tenant is otherwise responsible
for hereunder attributable to any period (prorated on a daily basis) prior to
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

6. CONDEMNATION
(a) In the event that the whole or any material part of the building on
the Premises or such a material portion of the land (for purposes hereof,
"material" shall mean more than 20% of the building on the Premises or more than
40% of the land) shall be taken during the term of this Lease or any extension
or renewal thereof for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental
law, ordinance, regulation or by right of eminent domain, or shall be sold to
the condemning authority under threat of condemnation with the result that the
Premises cannot continue to be operated as the type of restaurant contemplated
herein, or if all reasonable access to the adjacent roadways from the existing
or comparable curb cuts shall be taken (any of such events being hereinafter
referred to as a "taking"), Tenant shall have the option of terminating this
Lease as of a date no earlier than the date of such taking, such termination
date to be specified in a notice of termination to be given by Tenant to
Landlord not fewer than fourteen (14) days prior to the date on which possession
of the Premises, or part thereof, must be surrendered to the condemning
authority or its designee.
(b) In the event of any taking which does not give rise to an option to
terminate or in the event of a taking which does give rise to an option to
terminate and Tenant does not elect to terminate, Landlord shall make its award
available to Tenant and Tenant shall, to the extent of the award from such
taking (which word "award" shall mean the net proceeds after deducting expenses
of any settlement, or net purchase price under a sale in lieu of condemnation
but shall exclude the value of Landlord's reversionary interest), promptly
restore or repair the Premises and all improvements thereon (except the items
which Tenant is entitled to remove) to the same condition as existed immediately
prior to such taking insofar as is reasonably possible. If the estimated cost of
restoration or repair shall exceed the amount of Landlord's award, Tenant shall
deposit with Landlord the amount of such excess. The award and any excess shall
be held in trust by Landlord and used, to the extent required, for the purpose
of such restoration or repair. A just and proportionate part of the Rent payable
hereunder shall be abated from the date of such taking until ten (10) days after
Tenant has restored same and thereafter the Rent shall be reduced in proportion
to the reduction in the then rental value of the Premises after the taking in
comparison with the rental value prior to the taking. If the award shall exceed
the amount spent or to be spent promptly to effect such restoration, repair or
replacement, such excess shall unconditionally belong to Landlord and shall be
paid to Landlord.
(c) In the event of any partial taking where this Lease is not
terminated, Tenant shall not be entitled (except for use in reconstruction) to
any part of the compensation or award given Landlord for the taking of the fee
of the Premises, but Tenant shall have the right to recover from the condemning
authority such compensation as is specifically awarded to Tenant (i) to
reimburse Tenant for any cost which Tenant may incur in removing Tenant's
Property from the Premises and (ii) for loss of Tenant's business.
(d) If this Lease is terminated by reason of a taking then Landlord
shall be entitled to receive the entire award in any such condemnation or
eminent domain proceedings or purchase in lieu thereof and Tenant hereby assigns
to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in and to
6
<PAGE>
all and any part of such award, provided, however, Tenant shall be entitled to
receive any award specifically made to reimburse Tenant.
7. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS
Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes and assessments which
may be levied upon or assessed against the Premises and all taxes and
assessments of every kind and nature whatsoever arising in any way from the use,
occupancy or possession of the Premises or assessed against the improvements
situated thereon, together with all taxes levied upon or assessed against
Tenant's Property. To that end Landlord shall not be required to pay any taxes
or assessments whatsoever which relate to or may be assessed against this Lease,
the Rent and other amounts due hereunder, the Premises, improvements and
Tenant's Property. Provided, however, that any taxes or assessments which may be
levied or assessed against the Premises for a period ending after the
termination hereof shall be prorated between Landlord and Tenant as of such
date. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives the paid receipted tax
bills, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with copies of a paid receipt for such tax
bills. Upon demand by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver and pay over to Landlord
such additional sums as are necessary to satisfy any deficiency in the amount
necessary to pay the taxes before the same become due. Tenant may, at its
option, contest in good faith and by appropriate and timely legal proceedings
any such tax and assessment; provided, however, that Tenant shall indemnify and
hold harmless Landlord from any loss or damage resulting from any such contest,
and all expenses of same (including, without limitation, all attorneys' fees,
court and other costs) are paid solely by Tenant.
8. COMPLIANCE, UTILITIES, SURRENDER
(a) Tenant at its expense shall promptly comply with all governmental
requirements, whether or not compliance therewith shall require structural
changes in the Premises; will procure and maintain all permits, licenses and
other authorizations required for the use of the Premises or any part thereof
then being made and for the lawful and proper installation, operation and
maintenance of all equipment and appliances necessary or appropriate for the
operation and maintenance of the Premises, and shall comply with all easements,
restrictions, reservations and other instruments of record applicable to the
Premises. Tenant shall indemnify and save Landlord harmless from all expenses
and damages by reason of any notices, orders, violations or penalties filed
against or imposed upon the Premises, or against Landlord as owner thereof,
because of Tenant's failure to comply with this paragraph.
(b) Tenant shall pay all charges for heat, water, gas, sewage,
electricity and other utilities used or consumed on the Premises and shall
contract for the same in its own name. Landlord shall not be liable for any
interruption or failure in the supply of any such utility service to the
Premises.
(c) Tenant shall peacefully surrender possession of the Premises, the
buildings and other improvements thereon, to Landlord at the expiration, or
earlier termination, of the original term or any extended or renewed term of
this Lease.

9. QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants and warrants that Landlord has full power and
authority to make this Lease, and that Tenant shall have and enjoy full, quiet
and peaceful possession of the Premises, their appurtenances and all rights and
privileges incidental thereto during the term hereof and any renewals or
extensions, subject to the provisions of this Lease and any easements,
restrictions, reservations and other instruments of record applicable to the
Premises and in existence at the time of the conveyance of the Premises to
Landlord by Tenant.
10. OPTION TO RENEW
Tenant shall have ___ (_) successive five (5) year options to extend
this Lease for up to an additional _____ (__) years upon the same terms,
covenants, conditions and rental as set forth herein provided that Tenant is not
in default hereunder at the commencement of such option period. Tenant may
exercise each such five (5) year option by giving written notice to Landlord not
less than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the then current term of
this Lease. Should Tenant fail to give Landlord such timely written notice
during the required period, all remaining rights of renewal shall automatically
expire.
11. FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL TO PURCHASE; OPTION TO PURCHASE
(a) So long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant shall
have the right to purchase the Premises in accordance with the terms of this
paragraph. If Landlord receives and desires to accept a bona fide offer to
purchase (excluding any transfer to an affiliate of Landlord) the Premises
during the term of this Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, Landlord
shall serve a notice on Tenant stating the name of such offeror with a copy of
the terms and conditions of such offer attached and Tenant shall have the right
to purchase the Premises on the same terms and conditions set forth in
Landlord's notice, provided Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord of its
election to do so within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice from
Landlord. If Tenant does not elect to exercise its right to purchase as
aforesaid, Landlord may sell the Premises, provided the sale is consummated with
the offeror and on the terms and conditions set forth in Landlord's notice to
Tenant. The foregoing preemptive right shall remain in existence notwithstanding
its non-exercise in respect to any sale and shall be binding upon Landlord's
successors in title.
(b) Tenant shall have the option to purchase the Premises at any time
after the _____________ (__th) Lease Year, as follows:
(i) Tenant shall exercise its option hereunder by giving written
notice in writing to Landlord in accordance with the requirements of paragraph
20 of this Lease. At the time of the exercise of the option, Tenant shall also

of FIVE HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($500.00).
8
<PAGE>
(ii) The purchase price to be paid by Tenant shall be the greater
of (A) the fair market value of the Premises as of the date of the exercise of
the option, as determined by an appraisal of an M.A.I. qualified appraiser
selected by Landlord, or (B) Landlord's cost for the Premises, plus ___________
percent (__%).
(iii) The closing pursuant to the option shall be held in the
office of Landlord's attorneys on or before a date which is thirty (30) days
after Landlord and Tenant have received the above mentioned appraisal from the
appraiser, or at such other place as shall be acceptable to Landlord.
(iv) Tenant shall receive a credit for the deposit required under
(i) above and the balance of the purchase price shall be paid at closing in
cash, by cashier's check on cleared local funds or by wire transfer to
Landlord's account.
(v) All expenses of closing shall be paid equally by Tenant and
Landlord.
(vi) The option granted to Tenant pursuant to this subparagraph
(b) shall terminate and become null and void (A) in the event Tenant shall
purport to exercise said option at a time when Tenant shall then be in default
under any term or condition of this Lease, or (B) in the event Tenant's right of
first refusal becomes operative, Tenant fails to exercise such right of first
refusal, and the offer triggering such right of first refusal closes.
(c) Tenant's rights and options granted in (a) and (b) above shall be
subject and subordinate to any rights or options currently of record or those
existing under Tenant's franchise agreement, if any.
12. NONCOMPETE
Tenant shall not own an interest in, or operate, another __________
Restaurant within a _________ (__) mile radius of the Premises. Violation of
this covenant shall constitute a default hereunder and, because the parties
agree that damages would not be an adequate remedy, Tenant hereby agrees that
Landlord shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and
specific performance in addition to any remedy available at law.
13. DEFAULT
(a) If any one or more of the following events occur, said event or
events shall hereby be classified as a "Default":
(i) If Tenant fails to pay Interim Rent (if applicable), Annual
Rent, Percentage Rent, any additional rent, or any other charges required
hereunder or under any other lease with Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord
when same shall become due and payable, and such failure continues for ten (10)
days after written notice from Landlord.
9
<PAGE>
(ii) If Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any term,
condition, covenant, agreement, or obligation of this Lease or any other lease
with Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord, and such failure continues for
fifteen (15) days after written notice from Landlord (except that such fifteen
(15) day period shall be automatically extended for such additional period of
time as is reasonably necessary to cure such Default, if such Default cannot be
cured within such period, provided Tenant is in the process of diligently curing
the same).
(iii) If any default or event of default shall occur and remain
uncured under that certain Franchise Agreement (the "Franchise Agreement")
between Tenant and _________________ following any cure period applicable
thereto and established in the Franchise Agreement, or if such Franchise
Agreement is terminated for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
shall have the right to engage in good faith disputes with the franchisor under
the Franchise Agreement without such dispute constituting a default under this
Lease, provided that such dispute shall not prevent Tenant from performing its
obligation to continuously operate a _______ Restaurant at the Premises.
(iv) If Tenant fails to continuously operate its business within
the Premises except for temporary periods of closure caused by casualty, or
temporary and reasonable periods of remodeling not to exceed ninety (90) days in
any Lease Year without first obtaining Landlord's written approval.
(v) If Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or file a petition, in any federal or state court, in bankruptcy,
reorganization, composition, or make an application in any such proceedings for
the appointment of a trustee or receiver for all or any portion of its property.
(vi) If any petition shall be filed under federal or state law
against Tenant in any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency proceedings, and
said proceedings shall not be dismissed or vacated within thirty (30) days after
such petition is filed.
(vii) If a receiver or trustee shall be appointed under federal
or state law for Tenant, or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder, for
all or any portion of the property of either of them, and such receivership or
trusteeship shall not be set aside within thirty (30) days after such
appointment.
(b) Upon the happening of any one or more of the aforementioned Defaults
which are not cured within the cure period applicable thereto, if any, Landlord
shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies, to terminate
this Lease by giving written notice of same to Tenant. Upon such notice, this
Lease shall cease and expire, and Tenant shall surrender the Premises to
Landlord. Notwithstanding such termination, Tenant's liability and obligation
under all provisions of this Lease, including the obligation to pay Rent and any
and all other amounts due hereunder shall survive and continue. In addition, in
the event of Tenant's Default under this Lease, Landlord may, by notice to
Tenant, accelerate the monthly installments due hereunder for the remaining term
of this Lease, in which event such amount, together with any
10
<PAGE>
sums then in arrears, shall immediately be due and payable to Landlord. Tenant
hereby expressly agrees that its occupation of the Premises after default
constitutes forcible detainer (or equivalent) as is defined by the law in force
in the jurisdiction in which the Premises are located.
(c) If this Lease shall terminate as provided hereinabove, Landlord may
re-enter the Premises and remove Tenant, its agents and sub-tenants, together
with all or any of Tenant's Property, by suitable action at law, or by force.
Tenant waives any right to the service of any notice of Landlord's intention to
re-enter and Landlord shall not be liable in any way in connection with any
action it takes pursuant to this paragraph. Notwithstanding such re-entry or
removal, Tenant's liability under the provision of this Lease shall survive and
continue.
(d) In case of re-entry, repossession or termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall remain liable for Rent (with any Percentage Rent described in the
Rent Addendum to be paid at the rate paid during the prior Lease Year), any
additional rent and all other charges provided for in this Lease for the
otherwise remaining term of this Lease, and any and all expenses which Landlord
may have incurred in re-entering the Premises including, but not limited to,
allocable overhead, alterations to the building, leasing, construction,
architectural, legal and accounting fees. In addition, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord any and all attorneys' fees, legal costs and expenses incurred with
respect to enforcement of the provisions hereof. Landlord shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to relet the whole or part of the Premises upon terms
which Landlord, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and Tenant shall be
responsible for all expenses incurred by Landlord in re-letting or attempting to
re-let and all rent collected for reletting shall be credited against all of
Tenant's obligations hereunder.
(e) The rights and remedies of Landlord set forth herein shall be in
addition to any other right and remedy now or hereinafter provided by law, and
all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. No action or inaction by
Landlord shall constitute a waiver of a Default, and no waiver of Default shall
be effective unless it is in writing, signed by Landlord.
14. HOLDING OVER
In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the
expiration of this Lease, without executing a new lease, Tenant shall occupy the
Premises as a tenant from month to month subject to all the terms hereof, but
such possession shall not limit Landlord's rights and remedies by reason thereof
nor constitute a holding over.
15. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, other than
Tenant's obligations to repair, restore or rebuild described in paragraph 4
hereinabove, neither party shall be liable to the other for any damage or
destruction of the property of the other resulting from fire or other casualty
covered by insurance required of either party hereunder, whether or not such
loss, damage or destruction of property is caused by or results from the
negligence of such party (which term includes such party's officers, employees,
agents and invitees), and each party hereby
11
<PAGE>
expressly releases the other from all total liability for or on account of any
said loss, damage or destruction, whether or not the party suffering the loss is
insured against such loss, and if insured whether fully or partially. Each party
shall procure all endorsements of insurance policies carried by it necessary to
protect the other from any right of subrogation and/or liability in the event of
such loss.
16. LIEN FOR RENTS
As security for Tenant's payment of Rent and all other payments required
to be made by Tenant hereunder (including, by way of illustration only, taxes,
damage to the Premises, court costs, and attorneys' fees) Tenant hereby grants
to Landlord a lien upon all of Tenant's Property now or hereafter located upon
the Premises. The lien herein provided shall be subordinate to the lien of any
chattel mortgage, collateral assignment or security interest given by Tenant to
any seller of such property. If default is made by Tenant in the payment of any
sum which may become due hereunder and said sum is not paid within ten (10) days
after written notice is given by Landlord to Tenant for Tenant's default,
Landlord may enter upon the Premises and take possession of Tenant's Property,
or any part thereof, and may sell all or any part of Tenant's Property at public
or private sale in one or successive sales, with or without notice, to the
highest bidder for cash and on behalf of Tenant. Landlord may sell and convey
Tenant's Property, or any part thereof, to such bidder, delivering to such
bidder all of Tenant's title and interest in such property sold to him. The
proceeds of such sale shall be applied by Landlord toward the costs thereof and
then toward the payment of all sums when due by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.
17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
(a) The Tenant shall not have the right, without first obtaining
Landlord's prior written consent which will not be unreasonably withheld, to
assign or sublet any part or all of the Premises to any party for any purpose. A
change in ownership of the controlling interest of Tenant shall also constitute
an assignment subject to this subparagraph. Landlord, without being deemed
unreasonable, may withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting
where (i) the financial capacity of such assignee or subtenant is materially
less than that of tenant or (ii) such assignee or subtenant does not intend to
operate a national or regionally recognized restaurant on the Premises or (iii)
even if such assignee or subtenant intends to operate a restaurant on the
Premises, the type of restaurant or the operating history of such assignee or
subtenant or the operating history of such type of restaurant reflects an
inability to generate Gross Sales and potential sales growth equal to or greater
than that of the Tenant. Even if such consent to assignment or subletting is
given by Landlord, such assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant of its
liability for the continued performance of all terms, covenants and conditions
of this Lease, including without limitation the payment of all rent, additional
rent and Percentage Rent and other charges thereunder. Likewise, as a condition
of any such assignment by Tenant, the assignee shall be required to execute and
deliver to Landlord, upon the effective date of such assignment, an agreement,
in recordable form, whereby such assignee assumes and agrees to discharge all
obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
12
<PAGE>
(b) In the event of the subletting or assignment of this Lease, any
monetary consideration obtained from an assignee or transferee upon such
subletting or assignment shall be paid to Landlord. In the event of the
subletting or assignment of this Lease, if Tenant derives funds or rental income
greater than what it is paying to Landlord under this Lease, the Annual Rent
provided for herein shall be increased to that amount received by Tenant from
sublessee or assignee of this Lease.
(c) Prior to any assignment allowed hereunder, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord (i) a copy of the assignment documents (including copies of any
recorded documents), and (ii) the name, address and telephone number of such
assignee and a designated contact person for such assignee, and (iii) a new
insurance policy and binder complying with the terms of this Lease and naming
such assignee as the tenant of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, in the event of any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the
Premises, Tenant shall not be released from its obligations under this Lease
unless specifically released by virtue of a separate written instrument executed
by Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion.
(d) The Landlord shall have the right without limitation (subject to
paragraph 11 hereof) to sell, convey, transfer or assign its interest in the
Premises or its interest in this Lease, and upon such conveyance being completed
all covenants and obligations of Landlord under this Lease accruing thereafter
shall cease, but such covenants and obligations shall run with the land and
shall be binding upon the subsequent landlord or owners of the Premises or of
this Lease.
18. SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE, ATTORNMENT, ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
(a) Upon written request of the holder of any mortgage (which term
"mortgage" shall also include deeds of trust) now or hereafter relating to the
Premises, Tenant will subordinate its rights under this Lease to the lien
thereof and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security
thereof, and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument in the
form customarily used by such encumbrance holder to effect such subordination;
provided, however, as a condition of all such subordinations, the holder of such
mortgage shall be first required to agree with Tenant that, notwithstanding the
foreclosure or other exercise of rights under any such first or other mortgage,
Tenant's possession and occupancy of the Premises and the improvements and its
leasehold estate shall not be disturbed or interfered with nor shall Tenant's
rights and obligations under this Lease be altered or adversely affected thereby
so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder.
(b) Notwithstanding anything set out in subparagraph (a) above to the
contrary, in the event the holder of any such mortgage elects to have this Lease
be superior to its mortgage, then upon Tenant's being notified to that effect by
such encumbrance holder, this Lease shall be deemed prior to the lien of said
mortgage, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the
13
<PAGE>
date of said mortgage, and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver an
instrument, in the form customarily used by such encumbrance holder, effecting
such priority.
(c) In the event proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in
the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage made by
Landlord covering the Premises, or in the event of delivery of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure under such a mortgage Tenant will attorn to the purchaser upon any
such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this
Lease, and upon the request of the purchaser, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver an instrument, in form and substance satisfactory to such purchaser,
evidencing such attornment.
(d) Each party agrees, within seven (7) days after written request by
the other, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to and in favor of any proposed
mortgagee or purchaser of the Premises, an estoppel certificate, in the form
customarily used by such proposed mortgagee or purchaser, stating, among other
things (i) whether this Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) whether this
Lease has been modified or amended and, if so, identifying and describing any
such modification or amendment, (iii) the date to which rent and other charge
has been paid, and (iv) whether the party furnishing such certificate knows of
any default on the part of the other party or has any claim against such party
and, if so, specifying the nature of such default or claims.
(e) Upon written demand by the holder of any mortgage covering the
Premises, Tenant shall forthwith execute, acknowledge and deliver an agreement
in favor of and in the form customarily used by such encumbrance holder, by the
terms of which Tenant will agree to give prompt written notice to such
encumbrance holder in the event of any casualty damage to the Premises or in the
event of any default on the part of Landlord under this Lease, and will agree to
allow such encumbrance holder a reasonable length of time after notice to cure
or cause the curing of such default before exercising Tenant's rights under this
Lease, or terminating or declaring a default under this Lease.
19. COOPERATION
(a) Landlord shall fully cooperate with Tenant throughout the term of
this Lease to secure or maintain proper zoning, building and other permits and
compliance with all applicable laws. Landlord shall execute any petitions,
requests, applications and the like as Tenant shall reasonably request in order
to obtain any permit, license, variances and approvals which, in the reasonable
judgment of Tenant, are necessary for the lawful construction and/or operation
of Tenants business on the Premises, provided, however, that Tenant shall
indemnify and save Landlord harmless from any and all expenses, costs, charges,
liabilities, losses, obligations, damages and claims of any type which may be
imposed upon, asserted against or incurred by Landlord by reason of same.
(b) In the event that Tenant elects to purchase the Premises pursuant to
the terms and conditions of paragraph 11 hereof, Landlord shall have the right,
in Landlord's sole discretion, to enter into an exchange agreement (the
"Exchange Agreement") with a qualified intermediary
14
<PAGE>
(the "Intermediary") in order to effectuate a like-kind exchange of the Premises
for one or more other properties (the "Replacement Property"). In that event,
Landlord shall assign to the Intermediary all of Landlord's right, title and
interest in the written contract for purchase and sale of the Premises entered
into between Landlord and Tenant as required by paragraph 11 hereof (the
"Purchase Contract"), and any deposit paid by Tenant in connection with the
purchase of the Premises shall be placed directly with the Intermediary, subject
to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Contract and the Exchange Agreement.
Landlord and Tenant agree that, at Landlord's option, Tenant shall cooperate
with Landlord in effecting a like-kind exchange of the Premises by Landlord
pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1031 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation,
Tenant's consent to Landlord's assignment of its interest in the Purchase
Contract to the Intermediary and Tenant receiving or taking title to the
Premises from the Intermediary or another third party utilized in the
transaction in order to facilitate the like-kind exchange on behalf of Landlord.

damages, accidents and injuries to persons or property caused by or resulting
from or in connection with anything in or pertaining to or upon the Premises
during the term of this Lease or while Tenant is occupying the Premises, except

LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS RENT ADDENDUM dated (Closing Date), by and between CNL __________,
a (State of Registration) (Landlord Entity Type) as "Landlord", and (TENANT
NAME),a (State of Incorporation) (Tenant Entity Type), as "Tenant", for
(RESTAURANT NAME) (Site Number), (City), (County) County, (State), is attached
to and made a part of that certain Lease Agreement by and between Landlord and
Tenant of even date herewith (the "Lease"). Notwithstanding any other provision
to the contrary which may be contained in said Lease, it is specifically agreed
by and between Landlord and Tenant as follows:
(a) Commencement of Rent.
On the date hereof, Landlord has simultaneously entered into the Lease
with Tenant pursuant to which Tenant has agreed to lease from Landlord the
Premises and all improvements now or hereafter constructed thereon. Payment of
Interim Rent (if applicable), Annual Rent and Percentage Rent shall commence as
of the Effective Date as provided herein, notwithstanding that the improvements
may not be constructed or complete at that time.
(b) Interim Rent.
The terms and provisions of this paragraph (b) shall apply only if a
Construction Addendum is attached to and incorporated in the Lease. From and
after the Effective Date until Annual Rent shall first become due and payable
pursuant to subparagraph (c) below, Interim Rent shall be due and payable in
advance monthly installments on the first day of each month. For purposes of
this Lease, the term "Interim Rent" shall mean an amount equal to the product of
(i) ___________ percent (_____%) per annum, multiplied by (ii) the amount
theretofore funded by Landlord under the terms of the Construction Addendum.
Interim Rent for partial months shall be prorated on a per diem basis.
[[INSERT FOLLOWING VERSION OF PARAGRAPH (c) FOR CONSTRUCTION SITES]]
(c) Annual Rent
(i) Definitions. Capitalized terms used in the Lease and the
Construction Addendum shall have the same meaning in this Rent Addendum unless
otherwise defined. In addition to those terms defined elsewhere in this Rent
Addendum, as used herein the following terms shall have the meaning indicated:
"Construction Period" shall mean the period beginning on the Effective
Date and ending on the earliest of (i) ____________ (___) days after the
Effective Date; (ii) the date a certificate of occupancy for the Premises is
issued; (iii) the date the restaurant opens for business on the
<PAGE>
Premises; and (iv) the date Tenant receives from Landlord its final funding of
the construction costs for the Project under this Construction Addendum.
"Annual Rent Commencement Date" shall mean the last day of the
Construction Period.
"Total Cost" shall mean the sum of (i) the purchase price paid by
Landlord for the land comprising a portion of the Premises, plus (ii) all
approved closing costs paid by Landlord, plus (iii) all actual "hard"
construction costs and approved "soft" costs incurred by Tenant and funded by
Landlord during the Construction Period pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the Construction Addendum.
(ii) Initial Annual Rent. Beginning on the Annual Rent
Commencement Date, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord Annual Rent in
an annual amount equal to ______________ percent (______%) multiplied by the
Total Cost, payable to Landlord in equal monthly installments in advance, on the
first (1st) day of each month. Landlord and Tenant agree that prior to the
Annual Rent Commencement Date they will endeavor to establish the Total Cost so
that rent payable on the Annual Rent Commencement Date will be known prior to
such date. However, if the exact amount of the Total Cost shall not have been
finally ascertained prior to the Annual Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall as
of the Annual Rent Commencement Date pay Landlord rent based on an annual rent
under the Lease determined by multiplying ___________ percent (____%) times
$__________________________ (the Funding Limitation set forth in the
Construction Addendum), and if, when the exact amount of the Total Cost shall
have been ascertained (the "Final Disbursement Date"), such Total Cost is more
or less than $_________________, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall
promptly refund or remit to the other an amount equal to the excess rent paid or
the underpayment of rent due. On the Final Disbursement Date, Landlord shall
mail to Tenant a statement setting forth a schedule of funds disbursed by
Landlord to Tenant under the Construction Addendum; shall compute the Annual
Rent payable hereunder; and shall state the excess rent paid or underpayment of
rent due. The Annual Rent set forth in such statement shall constitute the
Annual Rent due hereunder.
(ii) Increases in Annual Rent. Commencing at the end of the fifth
(5th) Lease Year after the Effective Date, and on each fifth (5th) anniversary
of such date thereafter during the term of this Lease (and any extension
thereof), Annual Rent shall be increased by an amount equal to _____ percent
(__%) of the Annual Rent payable during the immediately preceding Lease Year.
(iii) Partial Months. If the date on which Annual Rent shall
first be due and payable shall fall on a day other than the first day of a
calendar month, then rent for the partial rental month shall be prorated on a
per diem basis on the first Annual Rent payment and shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord for such month.

ADDENDUM]]

<PAGE>
(c) Annual Rent
(i) Beginning on the Effective Date, Tenant covenants and agrees
to pay to Landlord Annual Rent in the annual amount of
_________________________________________, payable to Landlord in equal monthly
installments in the amount of ___________________________________ AND

(ii) Increases in Annual Rent. Commencing at the end of the fifth
(5th) Lease Year after the Effective Date, and on each fifth (5th) anniversary

basis on the first Annual Rent payment and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
for such month.
(d) Percentage Rent.
In addition to the Interim Rent and Annual Rent set forth above, Tenant
shall pay, as additional Rent, percentage rent ("Percentage Rent") as follows:
Within thirty (30) calendar days after the expiration of each Lease Year, Tenant
shall pay, in one lump sum, an amount equal to (i) ___ percent (__%) multiplied
by Tenant's Gross Sales (as hereinafter defined) for the Lease Year then ended,
minus (ii) the Annual Rent payable for such Lease Year. At such time, Tenant
shall also furnish Landlord a sworn statement showing the Gross Sales made by
Tenant during such Lease Year then ended.
(i) Inspection of Records. Landlord or its duly authorized
representatives may on regular business days within reasonable office hours,
inspect Tenant's records of Gross Sales and deductions made in the Premises,
either at the Premises or elsewhere as reasonably designated by Tenant, provided
such inspection is commenced within thirty-six (36) months after a statement of
Gross Sales is furnished to Landlord by Tenant or should have been delivered and
is limited to the period covered by such statement. Any claim by Landlord for
revision of any statement of Gross Sales or for additional Percentage Rent must
be made in writing to Tenant within thirty-six (36) months after the date such
statement of Gross Sales is mailed to Landlord, or within thirty (30) days
following completion of its inspection, otherwise it shall be deemed waived by
Landlord.
(ii) Reporting Errors. If Landlord inspects Tenant's records as
permitted by this Rent Addendum and if such inspection shows an error(s) in the
statements submitted by Tenant which results in an understatement of Gross Sales
by more than three percent (3%), then in addition to paying the Percentage Rent
due, Tenant shall pay Landlord the reasonable cost of
3
<PAGE>
such inspection. In the event such inspection shows an overstatement of Gross
Sales, then Landlord shall refund such overpayment to Tenant.
(iii) Sales and Other Financial Reports. In addition to the above
annual sworn statement of Gross Sales, Tenant shall provide Landlord with (i)
monthly reports of its sales at the Premises within five (5) days following the
last day of each month, together with a copy of all reports submitted to its
franchisor, (ii) quarterly sales tax reports for sales at the Premises, and
(iii) Tenant and each guarantor shall provide unaudited year end financial
statements including operating statements and balance sheets and federal income
tax returns within ten (10) days after they are generated for Tenant or such
guarantor. Further, Tenant hereby authorizes its franchisor to release to
Landlord any and all inspection reports issued by franchisor to Tenant relating
to the Premises.
(iv) Gross Sales/Sales Tax Defined. As used in this Rent
Addendum, the term "Gross Sales" shall mean the gross amount charged for all
sales or services made from the Premises by Tenant, for cash or credit, paid or
unpaid, less any sales taxes, returns, exchanges, allowances, discounts,
employee meals, and excluding sales of Tenant's Property or Tenant's leasehold
interest. Gross Sales shall include, without limitation, gross Rents or other
amounts received by Tenant from the licensees or concessionaires owning and
operating coin operated machines and devices, such as cigarette machines, but
not the amount taken in by such machines or devices. The term "sales tax" shall
mean taxes which by law (1) are not imposed on Tenant or any other party prior
to sale at retail by Tenant, but (2) are imposed on purchasers from Tenant at
retail and collectible by Tenant from such purchasers.
(e) Sales/Use Tax.
Tenant shall also pay to Landlord any sales and use tax imposed on any
Rents payable hereunder from time to time by state law or any other governmental
entity, which sums are due monthly as to monthly rent payments and annually as
to Percentage Rent on the due date of the rent payment under this Lease.
(f) Late Charges.
In the event any installment of rent due hereunder (including Interim
Rent, Annual Rent and Percentage Rent) is not received by Landlord within ten
(10) days of its respective due date, there shall be an automatic late charge
due to Landlord from Tenant in the amount of five percent (5%) of such
delinquent installment of rent. All such late charges due hereunder shall be
deemed additional Rent, and are not penalties but rather are charges
attributable to administrative and collection costs arising out of such
delinquency. In addition to such late charge, in the event Landlord does not
receive Rent when due hereunder, interest at the rate of the maximum rate
allowable by law shall be due and payable with respect to such payment from the
due date thereof until Landlord receives such payment.
(g) Payments of Rents.
4
<PAGE>
Except as provided in the following sentence, all Rent payments shall be
made by check payable to the order of Landlord and shall be sent to 400 East
South Street, Suite 500, Orlando, Florida 32801, or to such other place or
places as Landlord or its successors or assigns, respectively, may from time to
time designate in writing. In the event Tenant is late in the payment of
Interim, Annual or Percentage Rent on three (3) or more occasions, and if
Landlord shall so request, Tenant shall establish arrangements whereby Rent is
transferred by wire or other means directly from Tenant's bank account to such
account as Landlord may designate.
(h) No Abatement.
Unless otherwise stated in the Lease, no abatement, offset, diminution
or reduction (a) of Rent, charges or other compensation, or (b) of Tenant's
other obligations under this Lease shall be allowed to Tenant or any person
claiming under Tenant, under any circumstances or for any reason whatsoever.

warranties relating to the work and/or materials performed at or incorporated
into the Project.

matters of record through a then current date (except for matters which have
been previously accepted by Landlord).
No approvals or inspections made, given or conducted by Landlord shall
relieve Tenant of any duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities
hereunder.
5. Development Fee. Neither Tenant nor any affiliate shall receive a
development or construction supervision fee for its services hereunder. A
licensed general contractor shall be entitled to reasonable, normal and
customary overhead and profit in connection with the performance of its services
under a general construction contract. Said profit shall include reasonable,
normal and customary superintendent compensation.
6. General. With respect to matters not specifically related to the
Premises or its development, this Construction Addendum shall be governed by the
laws of the state where the Premises is located. All captions and section
headings used herein are for convenience and ease of reference only and do not
constitute part of this instrument. The Preliminary Statement set forth at the
beginning of this Construction Addendum is hereby incorporated herein by
reference and is deemed to constitute an integral part of this instrument.
7. Landlord's Right to Complete Construction on Tenant's Default. Except
for delays caused by events not within the control of Tenant, failure to
continuously prosecute to completion the construction of the Project within
____________ (___) days following the date hereof shall constitute a default by
Tenant hereunder. If, after ten (10) days notice to Tenant, any such default
shall not have been remedied, then Landlord may, if it elects to do so, either:
(a) take over construction of the Project and, at its option, complete such
construction or cause the same to be completed, or (b) terminate the Lease
Agreement and this Construction Addendum, in
4
<PAGE>
which case Tenant shall be required to purchase the Premises from Landlord
(subject to all liens, claims or encumbrances not placed on the Premises by
Landlord) at a price equal to Landlord's purchase price of the Premises, plus
all sums disbursed to Tenant pursuant to this Construction Addendum, plus all
Interim Rent due under the Lease Agreement, plus all fees, costs and expenses
paid by Landlord in connection with its purchase of the Premises, plus interest
on all such sums accruing from the date of disbursement thereof at the rate of
ten percent (10%) per annum. Closing of such purchase and sale shall take place
within thirty (30) days following the date of Landlord's notice of default to
Tenant.
8. Force Majeure. The time for completion of the Project shall be
extended by the period of time, if any, that construction is delayed by virtue
of labor unrest, materials shortage, natural disaster, weather, Acts of God, and
other causes beyond the reasonable control of Tenant; provided, however, that no
such extension shall be permitted with respect to any delay unless written
notice of the delay specifying the cause of the delay and the expected time of
the delay is delivered to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after such delay is
encountered.
9. Entire Agreement. This Construction Addendum and the Lease Agreement
of which this Construction Addendum is a part constitute the entire agreement of
Landlord and Tenant with respect to the development of the Premises, and
