THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE OR OTHERWISE DISTRIBUTED EXCEPT IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT, OR IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT OR PURSUANT TO ANOTHER EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE SECURITIES ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO PROVISIONS OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND A STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT, VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY, WHICH CONTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, A VOTING AGREEMENT AND AN IRREVOCABLE PROXY. COPIES OF THE CERTIFICATE AND SUCH STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”

2.3 Notice of Proposed Transfers; Securities Law Compliance. The holder of each certificate representing any of the Securities by acceptance thereof agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section. Prior to any proposed Transfer, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed Transfer, the Holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such Transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed Transfer in sufficient detail, and, if requested by the Company, shall be accompanied by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel (who may be internal counsel) who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company addressed to the Company and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company’s counsel, to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act or registration or qualification under any applicable state securities laws, (ii) a “no action” letter from the staff of the Commission to the effect that the distribution of such

securities without registration will not result in recommendation by the staff of the Commission that action be taken with respect thereto, or (iii) such other showing that may be reasonably satisfactory to legal counsel to the Company, whereupon the holder of such Securities shall be entitled to Transfer such Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the holder to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements of clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) above need not be satisfied with respect to the following transactions: (A) transactions in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act so long as the Company is furnished with satisfactory evidence of compliance with such Rule; (B) Transfers by a Holder which is a partnership or limited liability company on a pro rata basis in accordance with the terms of the partnership or limited liability company operating agreement to a general partner, limited partner or member of such partnership or limited liability company or a retired partner of such partnership or member of such limited liability company who retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner, member or retired partner or member; (C) Transfers by a Holder which is a corporation to any wholly-owned subsidiary or parent of such corporation that wholly owns such corporation. In addition, Transfers made by a Holder that is a state sponsored employee benefit plan to a successor trust or fiduciary or pursuant to a statutory reconstitution shall be expressly permitted, and the requirements of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section need not be satisfied.

3. Board of Directors.

3.1 Voting for the Election of Directors. Each of the Stockholders agrees, during the term of this Agreement and any extensions thereof, to hold all of the shares of Common Stock registered in their respective names (and any securities of the Company issued with respect to, or in exchange or substitution therefor or upon conversion thereof) subject to, and to vote such Common Stock in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement in connection with the election of directors.

3.2 Election Of Directors. The Company’s Certificate or Bylaws shall at all times authorize a Board of Directors consisting of three to five members. The members of the Board of Directors shall be nominated, elected, removed, and replaced in the following manner:

(a) Selection. Two directors shall be selected by TCW so long as TCW holds any shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “TCW Directors”). One director shall be selected by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as single class, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Certificate. Directors selected in accordance with the foregoing can be removed or replaced only by the vote or consent of the same group of Stockholders that selected such directors. The TCW Directors shall be appointed as members of the executive committee of the Board of Directors or any committee performing the equivalent functions of an executive committee. The Company will reimburse the TCW Directors (or an observer appointed by TCW if no representative of TCW is then serving as a director) for reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors or committees thereof.

(b) Election. Each of the Stockholders hereby agrees (i) that such Stockholder will vote his, her or its shares of Common Stock of the Company to elect those directors selected according to (a) above and (ii) that Martin Anderson, John Rocchio and Tyrone Chang shall be the directors of the Company as of the closing of the transactions contemplated by

the Contribution Agreement.

(c) The obligations of the Company under this Section 3.2, if any, other than the last sentence of Section 3.2 (a), shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Board of Directors with their fiduciary duties.

4. Sale of Amreit Stock.

(a) TCW may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time or from time to time, determine that the Company shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Amreit Stock, in one or more transactions and upon terms and conditions that TCW may determine in its sole discretion (each such sale, transfer or disposition, an “Amreit Stock Transaction”). Upon the communication in writing of any such determination by TCW to the Company, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such Amreit Stock in the manner, upon the terms and subject to the conditions determined by TCW.

(b) The Stockholders each agree that any sale of Amreit Stock pursuant to Section 4(a) may be taken without any further action of, or consent by, the Stockholders and that any such transaction shall be deemed to have already been approved by the Stockholders. In order to implement the agreement in this Section 4, each of the Non-TCW Stockholders:

(i) hereby agrees, by execution of this Agreement, to, if requested by the Company or TCW, vote or execute and deliver written consents, in respect of all Securities now owned, hereafter registered in his, her or its name or hereafter acquired, in favor of any such Amreit Stock Transaction. Each of the Non-TCW Stockholders affirms that its agreement to vote for the approval of each Amreit Stock Transaction is given as a condition of this Agreement and the other agreements between the parties hereto and as such is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. This voting agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be enforceable against any donee, transferee or assignee of the Securities that is required to become a party to this Agreement. This voting agreement shall remain in full force and effect throughout the time that the Amreit Stock is owned by the Company. It is understood that this voting agreement relates solely to Amreit Stock Transactions and does not constitute the agreement to vote or consent as to any other matters; and

(ii) hereby grants to TCW, by execution of this Agreement, an irrevocable proxy pursuant to the provisions of Section 212 of the Delaware General Corporation Law to vote, or to execute and deliver written consents or otherwise act with respect to, all Securities now owned, hereafter registered in his, her or its name or hereafter acquired as fully, to the same extent and with the same effect as such Stockholder might or could do under any applicable laws or regulations governing the rights and powers of a Delaware corporation in connection with any such Amreit Stock Transaction. Each of the Non-TCW Stockholders affirms that this proxy is given as a condition of this Agreement and the other agreements between the parties hereto and as such is

coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. This proxy shall remain in full force and effect and be enforceable against any donee, transferee or assignee of the Securities that is required to become a party to this Agreement. This proxy shall remain in full force and effect throughout the time that that the Amreit Stock is owned by the Company. It is understood that this proxy relates solely to Amreit Stock Transactions and does not constitute the grant of any rights to vote as to any other matters.

5. Issuance of Additional Shares.

The Company shall require any person to whom it issues shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock to become a party to this Agreement and agree to be bound by all the provisions hereof. The parties hereto agree that any such additional purchaser shall become a party hereto, without further consent of the parties, by signing this Agreement and being added to the list of parties on Exhibit A hereto.
