Ladies and Gentlemen:
Republic Property Trust, a real estate investment trust organized under the laws of the State of Maryland (the “Company”), hereby acknowledges that:

(iii) the Company may not assert this action as defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Very truly yours,
