W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Security Capital and Capital Partners entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Advisory Services Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2005, and effective as of January 1, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 (as amended, the “Advisory Services Agreement”), pursuant to which Capital Partners has agreed, among other things, to continue, from and after January 1, 2006, to provide advisory services to Security Capital and its subsidiaries in the areas of investments, general administration, corporate development, strategic planning, stockholder relations, financial matters and general business policy;
WHEREAS, Security Capital is engaged in a formal sale process for the Sale of Security Capital in an effort to maximize stockholder value by seeking for its stockholders the highest price reasonably attainable for Security Capital; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Advisory Services Agreement, the Board of Directors of Security Capital (the “Board”) has assigned Capital Partners, and its President and Chief Executive Officer, the responsibility to manage the formal sale process; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Advisory Services Agreement, in certain circumstances, upon the consummation of a Sale of Security Capital, Security Capital is required to pay to Capital Partners an Incentive Sales Bonus; and
WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Audit Committee of the Board and the full Board, a majority of the members of which are independent directors, have unanimously determined, after considering all of the facts and circumstances, that the Advisory Services Agreement should be amended to (i) clarify that the calculation of the Per Share Consideration includes the aggregate dollar value per share to be paid to Security Capital’s stockholders in connection with the Sale of Security Capital (without regard to any amount placed in escrow or used to satisfy indemnification claims) and the aggregate dollar value per share of the special cash dividend to be paid on June 28, 2006 to the holders of record at the close of business on June 14, 2006 of Security Capital’s Class A Common Stock and Common Stock (which dividend will be paid principally from the net proceeds of Security Capital’s sale of its 91.52% (on a fully diluted basis) interest in Primrose) (the “Primrose Dividend”), and (ii) terminate the Advisory Services Agreement on the consummation of the Sale of Security Capital, and that such amendment is consistent with Board’s original intent to incentivize Capital Partners to achieve for the stockholders of Security Capital the highest Per Share Consideration

WHEREAS, Security Capital and Capital Partners desire to amend the Advisory Services Agreement to reflect such matters.

2. Section 8(d) of the Advisory Services Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
(d) “Per Share Consideration” means (A) the aggregate dollar value to be received by Security Capital’s stockholders in respect of each share of Class A common stock of Security Capital owned by such stockholders in connection with a Sale of Security Capital (without regard to any amount placed in escrow or used to satisfy indemnification claims) plus (B) the Primrose Dividend.
3. Except as expressly set forth herein, this amendment to the Advisory Services Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Advisory Services Agreement, all of which shall remain in full force and effect.
