and
WHEREAS, Owner desires to retain Managing Agent, and Managing Agent is

rendered, invoices for supplies or other items
-3-

forthwith the balance of such rental receipts, income and
monies to Owner or as Owner shall from time to time direct.

receipt of statements therefor.)

if necessary) relating to operation of the Managed Premises.
