5.	Marketing and Leasing Plan; Reporting; General Functions. Manager will:

Prepare and submit to Owner a marketing and leasing budget and plan on the Properties (a “Plan”), for the calendar year immediately following each submission. Each Plan will be in the form approved by the Owner. A draft Plan for each Property shall be submitted to Owner on or prior to December 15 of the year preceding the January 1 of the year to which the plan applies. Owner will have 21 days after receipt of the Plan within which to approve or reject in writing the same, with any rejection accompanied by a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for the rejection. Manager will then submit a revised draft Plan to Owner within 10 days after receipt of any rejection. Owner has 10 days after receipt of the revised Plan to approve or reject the same in writing, with any rejection accompanied by a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for the rejection. The foregoing process will repeat with 10 days between receipt and revision, on Manager’s end, and receipt and acceptance or rejection on Owner’s end, until each Plan has been approved. If the parties cannot come to agreement on a Plan for a Property, then Manager will operate the applicable Property on the Plan most recently approved by Owner. To the extent any expenditure to be made by Manager exceeds the applicable line item in the prior year’s Plan by 5% or more, the same shall require Owner’s prior written consent, exclusive of uncontrollable expenditures and emergencies (included by not limited to emergency items outside of the control of Manager). Manager will provide supporting information reasonably requested by Owner in connection with its review of any Plan submitted by Manager.

The Plan constitutes an authorization for Manager to expend necessary monies to lease and market the Properties in accordance with the Plan, but subject to the provisions of this Agreement, until a subsequent Plan is approved. The approval of non-recurring costs in the Plan constitutes an authorization for Manager to collect bids for the expenditure and to present a final recommendation to the Owner for expenditure of monies to implement those items.

Without affecting any other limitation imposed by this Agreement and except as may be provided to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Manager will secure the prior written approval of Owner before incurring any liability or obligation for any item in excess of $10,000 not reflected on the approved Plan, except with respect to emergency items as described in this subsection. If, however, another threshold with respect to any matter is specified elsewhere in this Agreement or in a written directive or authorization of Owner, then the threshold for that matter will be as set forth in that directive. Manager will provide a report to Owner regarding any emergency expenses or capital requirements as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of the event giving rise to the expenses, specifying the circumstances of the emergency situation or requirement.

Deliver to Owner, within 15 days after the end of each month during the term of this Agreement, the monthly reporting package detailed on Exhibit A that relates to the Properties and the immediately preceding calendar month or any portion thereof. The reporting package will be made on an accrual basis and include all transactions, whether or not reimbursable pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.


c)	Deliver to Owner, within 15 days after the end of each quarter during the term of this Agreement, the quarterly reporting package detailed on Exhibit B that relates to the Properties and the immediately preceding calendar quarter or any portion thereof.

basis and include all transactions, whether or not reimbursable pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

Deliver to Owner, within 30 days after the end of each calendar year during the term of this Agreement, the annual reporting package detailed in Exhibit C that relates to the Properties and the immediately preceding calendar year or any portion thereof.

Employ in-house or outside attorneys, at Owner’s expense, to handle any legal matters involving the Properties, in accordance with the Plan, any construction budget or as otherwise approved by Owner. Manager employs an in-house legal department which will perform some or all of the legal services. To the extent any employee of the in-house legal department performs services, the cost of the in house employee will be an operating expense of the Properties and reimbursable by Owner, based upon approved Plans or construction budgets consistent with the hourly rates charged internally by Manager to the other property funds for which it performs services. The costs are an operating expense of the Properties and shall be reimbursable by Owner.

Pay wages, salaries, commissions and employee benefits of all Property Personnel, including without limitation workers’ compensation insurance, social security taxes, unemployment insurances, other taxes or levies now in force or hereafter imposed, any claims that may arise under the employee health or worker’s compensation programs maintained by Manager, employee-related overhead expenses and associated administrative charges with respect to any such Property Personnel (collectively, “Employee Benefits”), all of which are deemed an operating expense of the Properties and which shall be in accordance with approved Budgets. The number and classification of employees serving each Property shall be determined by Manager, as appropriate for the proper operation of each Property.

Cooperate with the REIT’s independent auditors with respect to the annual audit of the REIT for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements of the REIT (the “Annual REIT Audit”). In addition, the REIT shall have the right to conduct an audit of Manager’s books and records solely with respect to the fees and expense reimbursements relating to the services provided pursuant to this Agreement (the “Fee Audit”). The REIT may conduct the Fee Audit by using its own internal auditors or by employing independent auditors no more than once per year. Costs associated with conducting such Fee Audits by internal or independent auditors, and costs of the Annual REIT Audit, shall be borne by REIT. If any Fee Audit conducted by or on behalf of REIT reveals a discrepancy in excess of ten percent (10%), and greater than $10,000, for the aggregate fees and expense reimbursements payable during the period under audit pursuant to the Fee Audit, then Manager shall be responsible for the reasonable expenses of such audit

16.	Additional Services. The services contemplated under this Agreement are normal and customary leasing, marketing and general and construction management services. If Manager is required or requested to perform additional services beyond the scope of this Agreement, then Owner shall pay Manager fees for these additional services at market rates as mutually agreed upon in advance by the parties.

17.

Manager’s Action on Tenant’s Default. If the reasonably expected costs are less than a threshold to be agreed upon by Manager and Owner with respect to each Property (or with respect to leases or contracts less than certain thresholds with respect to each Property), then Manager has the right, in its own name or in the name of Owner, to take any and all actions, which Manager deems advisable and which Owner has the right to take, in the event of any tenant's breach of any covenant, provision or condition binding upon tenant under its lease with Owner. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to require Manager to institute legal action against any tenant. If the reasonably expected costs exceed the agreed upon thresholds, then Owner shall only be responsible for those costs if it pre-approves such actions. In addition, if Owner desires to commence legal action notwithstanding Manager’s recommendation to the contrary, then it shall pay for all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees in connection with that action.


18.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all agreements previously made between the parties relating to its subject matter. There are no other understandings or agreements between them.


19.	Assignment; Binding Effect. Manager may delegate partially or in full its duties and rights under this Agreement to any wholly owned subsidiary. Any other partial or full delegation or assignment of its duties and rights under this Agreement

may be made only with the prior written consent of Owner. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.


20.	Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the amendment is sought.

21.
