RE:    Shared Third Party Pre-Development Costs for Twinbrook area properties

Mr. Schneider:
As you know, on February 19, 2014, the B.F. Saul Real Estate Investment Trust (the “Trust”) purchased approximately 6.75 acres of land at 1592 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland (the “Trust Twinbrook Property”). The Trust understands that Saul Holdings Limited Partnership (“Holdings”) owns, through subsidiaries, properties (the “Holdings Twinbrook Property”) nearby and adjacent to the Trust Twinbrook Property, as more fully described on Schedule 1 to this letter. Further, the Trust understands that Holdings has engaged third party consultants, including but not limited to architects, civil engineers, and land use counsel to assist Holdings in planning a future development of the Holdings Twinbrook Property (such services, the “Pre-Development Services”).

As we have discussed, it will be more efficient for the Trust and Holdings to share Pre-Development Services for their respective Twinbrook Properties. To that end, this letter agreement memorializes our understanding with respect to sharing such costs:

1)
Holdings will inform the third party consultants that the Trust Twinbrook Property will be included in the scope of the Pre-Development Services. Holdings will manage the consultants providing such services, and provide the Trust with regular notice of developments and advance notice of any progress meetings. The Trust may send a representative to attend progress meetings and participate fully in discussions.
2)
Third-party consultants will invoice Holdings and the Trust’s on pro rata basis for Pre-Development Services, with such share to be determined by dividing the acreage of each respective Twinbrook Property by the acreage of the Trust Twinbrook Property and Holdings Twinbrook Property combined, as set forth on Schedule 1. The Trust and Holdings agree that Schedule 1 will be amended by the mutual agreement of the parties to include additional land parcels that either the Trust or Holdings may acquire in the future, with the pro rata share of each party to be adjusted as of the date of the amendment.



3)
Neither the Trust nor Holdings will advance funds to the other for Pre-Development Services costs.
4)
Prior to the end of 2015, the Trust and Holdings will discuss extending the terms of this letter agreement for 2016. Such extension will be subject to the joint approval of a 2016 budget for Pre-Development Services, and may include changing the allocation method set forth in paragraph 2 if the Trust and Holdings agree that a different allocation method would be more appropriate for 2016.

Please indicate your agreement and acceptance of the terms of this letter by signing where indicated below and returning one executed copy of this letter to me. Upon execution by both parties, this agreement will be effective.
           
Sincerely yours,

/s/ Patrick T. Connors
