3.

Manager Duties.  Owner hereby gives Manager the exclusive authority and power, as agent for Owner, to provide the services listed in this Section 3 and elsewhere in this Agreement and Owner agrees to reimburse Manager and its affiliates for all expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith.  For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement that such expenses are to be borne by Manager, all expenses related to the duties performed or caused to be performed by Manager herein with respect to the Premises shall be the responsibility of the Owner and reimbursed to Manager upon billing therefor if initially paid for by Manager.  Manager shall be entitled at all times to manage the Premises in accordance with Manager’s standard operating policies and procedures all in accordance with the budget approved by Owner, except to the extent that any specific provisions contained herein are to the contrary, in which case Manager shall manage the Premises consistent with such specific provisions of this Agreement.

(a)

Collection of Gross Income.  

i.

Manager shall collect all rents and assessments and other monies due Owner related to the Premises (all such items being referred to herein as “Gross Income”) accounting for the same.  Manager shall give Owner receipts therefor and deposit all such Gross Income collected hereunder in Manager’s custodial account established for the Premises using Owner-approved software which Manager will open and maintain, in a state or national bank of Manager’s choice and whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the maximum extent available, exclusively for the Premises and any other

2

135699.3

properties owned by Owner (or any entity that is owned or controlled by Parent Company) and managed by Manager.  Unless otherwise required by Owner, Manager shall be permitted to comingle the funds in such custodial account with funds attributable to any other properties owned by Owner or entities owned or controlled by Parent Company and managed by Manager.  Owner agrees that Manager shall be authorized to maintain a reasonable minimum balance (to be determined jointly from time to time) in the custodial account. Manager may endorse any and all checks received in connection with the operation of the Premises and drawn to the order of Owner, and Owner upon request, shall furnish Manager’s depository with an appropriate authorization for Manager to make the endorsement.

When applicable, Manager shall collect and bill for security deposits or assessments and other items, including but not limited to calculating, preparing and mailing all invoices for tenant payments for real estate taxes, property liability and other insurance, damages and repairs, common area maintenance, tax reduction fees and all other tenant reimbursements, administrative charges, proceeds of rental interruption insurance, parking fees, income from coin operated machines and other miscellaneous income as stipulated in the leases.  At the request of Owner, Manager will administer, and create if necessary, a bill-back program for tenant utility consumption unless prohibited by local law.

(b)

Payment of Expenses.  From the custodial account described above, Manager shall pay all expenses of Owner with respect to the Premises from the Gross Income collected in accordance with Section 3(a)(i) hereof.  In the event that expenses paid pursuant to this Section 3(b) exceed Gross Income for any monthly period, Manager shall notify Owner of same. Owner shall pay the excess amount immediately upon request from Manager.  Nothing herein contained shall obligate Manager to advance its own funds on behalf of Owner.

(c)

Annual Budgets.  Manager shall prepare an annualized budget for the operation of the Premises and submit the same to Owner for approval (the “Annualized Budget”).  Manager will use its commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Premises pursuant to the Annualized Budget; provided, however, Manager shall have no liability to Owner for failure to meet such Annualized Budget.  The Annualized Budget shall include a comparison back to the original underwriting performed at the time of Owner’s acquisition of the Premises and prior year performance.  The first Annualized Budget has been prepared and approved for the year commencing [__________], [__] 20[__] and ending on December 31, 20[__].  Notwithstanding the period covered by the first Annualized Budget, all subsequent Annualized Budgets shall cover the period from January 1st of each year through December 31st of the same year. The proposed Annualized Budget for each calendar year shall be submitted by Manager to Owner by December 1st of the year preceding the year for which it applies, and Owner shall notify Manager within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such Annualized Budget as to whether Owner has or has not approved the proposed Annualized Budget. If Owner does not approve the proposed Annualized Budget, Owner shall notify Manager of the specifics of such disapproval within such fifteen (15) day period and Manager shall make the

3

135699.3

necessary amendments to the Annualized Budget. During the time Manager is preparing these amendments, Manager will continue to operate the Premises according to the last approved Annualized Budget. Owner’s approval of the Annualized Budget shall constitute approval for Manager to expend sums for all budgeted expenditures, without the necessity to obtain additional approval of Owner under any other expenditure limitations as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

(d)

Non-Budgeted Expenses over $25,000.  Manager shall secure the approval of, and execution of appropriate agreements by, Owner for any non-budgeted and non-emergency/contingency capital items, alterations or other expenditures in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) for any one item, securing for each item at least three (3) written bids, if practicable, or providing evidence satisfactory to Owner that the agreed amount is lower than industry standard pricing, from responsible contractors. Manager shall have the right from time to time during the term hereof, to contract with and make purchases from entities or affiliates of such entities providing services to the Parent Company and third party agents; provided that contract rates and prices are competitive with other available sources. Manager, at any time, and from time to time, may request and receive the prior written authorization of Owner for any one or more purchases or other expenditures, notwithstanding that Manager may otherwise be authorized hereunder to make such purchases or expenditures.

(e)

Third-Party Agreements.  Owner hereby appoints Manager as Owner’s authorized agent for the purpose of executing, as agent for Owner, any agreements with third-parties necessary for operation of the Premises.  For example, and not in limitation of the foregoing, Manager shall negotiate and enter into contracts for services and items in the Annualized Budget relating to the Premises.  

(f)

Manager Employees.  Manager shall hire, supervise, discharge and pay salary and benefit expenses for all employees of Manager or Manager’s sole member, as Manager determines necessary to perform Manager’s duties described in this Agreement including, but not limited to managers, operations managers, senior managers, assistant managers, leasing consultants, engineers, janitors and maintenance supervisors.  All expenses of such employment, including but not limited to, wages, salaries, insurance, benefits, employment related taxes, overhead and other governmental charges, shall be deemed operational expenses of the Premises and Owner shall reimburse Manager for such expenses which may be charged to Owner on a per square foot or per unit basis, as applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, salaries and benefits of Manager’s employees who also serve as the one of the Parent Company’s executive officers or as an executive officer of the Manager shall not be reimbursed by the Owner.  The number and classification of employees serving the Premises shall be as determined by Manager to be appropriate for the proper operation of the Premises; provided that Owner may request changes in the number or classification of employees, and Manager shall make all requested changes unless in its judgment the resulting level of operation or maintenance of the Premises will be inadequate. [Manager shall honor any collective bargaining contract covering employment at the Premises which is in effect upon the date of execution of this Agreement; provided that Manager shall not assume or otherwise become a party to any collective bargaining contract for any purpose whatsoever and all

4

personnel subject to a collective bargaining contract shall be considered the employees of the Owner and not Manager (delete bracketed text if not applicable to Premises)].
