NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the

agent, rental agent and manager of the Project and Manager hereby accepts such
appointment, upon the terms set forth herein.
ARTICLE II.
TERM OF AGREEMENT
The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall commence on the closing
date of the initial public offering of the common stock of Xxxxxxx Properties,
Inc., a Maryland corporation, and shall continue until the expiration or earlier
termination of that certain Noncompetition Agreement by and between Xxxxxxx
Properties, Inc. and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, III dated as of ______, 2003 (the
"Noncompetition Agreement").
This Agreement may be terminated prior to the expiration of the Term
only upon the occurrence of one of the events set forth in Section 11.1 below.
ARTICLE III.
ANNUAL PLAN
3.1 Annual Plan. On or before November 1 of each calendar year
during the Term, Manager shall prepare and submit to Owner for its approval a
proposed annual plan for the promotion, operation, leasing, repair and
maintenance of the Project for each calendar year (the
"Proposed Annual Plan"). For purposes of this Agreement, a "Fiscal Year" shall
mean a calendar year beginning on the first day of January and ending on the
last day of December. The Annual Plan for the remaining portion of Fiscal Year
2003 is attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
3.2 Each Proposed Annual Plan shall include, among other matters:
(a) an "Operating Budget" which shall set forth, among other
matters, anticipated cash income and expenditures and reserve additions for such
Fiscal Year;
(b) a "Capital Budget" which shall set forth, among other
matters, anticipated and proposed capital expenditures for such year and the
source of funds in respect thereto;
(c) a "Reimbursement Schedule" of anticipated reimbursements
as contemplated by this Agreement;
(d) a "Leasing Plan" which shall include, among other
matters, a statement of the space that Manager projects to be leased during such
year, the projected minimum rent to be obtained for such space and the other
financial provisions of such projected leases (including free-rent periods, rent
abatements, contributions towards taxes and expenses and escalation provisions);
(e) a "Capital Expense Timeline" setting forth anticipated
estimated capital advances by Owner to Manager;
(f) a "Contingency Reserve" estimating funds necessary to
cover any reasonably anticipated capital and operating expenditures in excess of
the Annual Plan;
(g) an allocation of employment of personnel among Manager
(either directly or through subcontracts) and Owner; and
(h) a summary of any other significant activity Manager
expects to undertake during such Fiscal Year.
3.3 Approval of Proposed Annual Plan. Within in thirty (30) days
of Owner's receipt of the Proposed Annual Plan, Owner shall deliver to Manager
in writing its approval or disapproval of all matters contained in the Proposed
Annual Plan for the succeeding year. Any disapproval by Owner of a Proposed
Annual Plan shall include a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons for
such disapproval. If Owner disapproves of any Proposed Annual Plan, Manager
shall submit to Owner a revised annual plan within twenty (20) days of its
receipt of Owner's written disapproval. Manager shall make a good faith effort
to have such revised annual plan satisfy each of the objections set forth in
Owner's written disapproval. Upon written approval of a proposed or revised
annual plan by Owner, such plan shall thereafter be the "Annual Plan" for the
succeeding year for the purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that if
Owner and Manager cannot agree upon an Annual Plan or certain aspects thereof
prior to January 1 of the succeeding year, the Annual Plan from the prior year
shall govern to the extent of such disputed items (with appropriate adjustments
based on increases or decreases in the yearly Consumer Price Index as published
each January by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics and the
actual amount of expenses not within the control of Owner or
2
Manager such as real property taxes and personal property taxes). The parties
acknowledge and agree that each Annual Plan shall provide sufficient funds for
Manager to operate the Project in a manner consistent with that for the
operation of similar first-class office buildings in Dallas, Texas.
3.4 Amendments to Annual Plan. Manager shall submit to Owner any
proposed revisions in the Annual Plan, all of which shall be subject to Owner's
approval. Any approved changes will be reflected in an amended Annual Plan which
shall be applicable for the remainder of the applicable Fiscal Year. However,
nothing in this Section 3.4 shall be construed as releasing Manager from its
obligation to manage the Project in accordance with the Annual Plan.
3.5 Obligation and Authority to Implement Annual Plan. Once
approved, Manager shall implement the Annual Plan, and shall be authorized
without the need of further approvals to make the expenditures and incur the
obligations provided for in such Annual Plan.
3.6 Performance Within Annual Plan. Manager shall use reasonable
diligence and employ commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the actual
costs of maintaining and operating the Project shall not exceed the Annual Plan
either in total or in any accounting category. All expenses must be charged to
the proper account on either the operating budget or capital budget reflected in
the Annual Plan, and no expense may be classified or reclassified for the
purpose of avoiding an excess in the annual budgeted amount of an accounting
category. Pursuant to Section 6.5 below, Manager shall obtain Owner's prior
written consent to any expenditure which costs (i) in excess of 5% for any line
item in the budgets included in the Annual Plan, or (ii) $25,000, whichever is
less, and is not reasonably contemplated in the Annual Plan.
ARTICLE IV.
ACCOUNTING
4.1 Books and Records. Manager shall maintain adequate and
separate books and records for the Project on behalf of Owner, with sufficient
supporting documentation to ensure that all entries in the books and records are
accurate and complete. Such books and records shall be maintained by Manager at
Owner's address stated herein or at such other location as may be mutually
agreed upon in writing, except such documents used in the day-to-day operation
of the Project by Manager in the performance of its obligations hereunder which
may be maintained at the Project for the benefit of Owner. Manager shall
exercise such control over accounting and financial transactions as is
reasonably required to protect Owner's assets from theft, error or fraudulent
activity on the part of Manager's associates or employees. Losses arising from
such instances are to be borne by Manager.
4.2 Accounting, Reports and Financial Statements. Manager shall
perform such accounting and financial reporting services regarding the Project
which is normally provided with respect to first-class office buildings in the
area and any additional accounting and financial reporting services which are
required pursuant to the documents and agreements governing Owner's lending
relationships ("Loan Compliance Requirements"). Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Manager shall, by the twentieth (20th) day of each month,
prepare and provide to Owner monthly operating reports for the immediately
preceding month (each, a
3
"Monthly Report"), including, (i) an unaudited year-to-date financial statement;
(ii) statement of net operating income, (iii) summary of all lease activity,
(iv) a balance sheet, (v) a calculation of the Management Fee (as defined
below), (vi) a comparison of monthly and year-to-date actual income and expense
with the operating budget in the Annual Plan and, (vii) on a quarterly basis
only, an analysis of any significant variances between budgeted and actual
amounts. If requested by Owner, Manager shall also, within ninety (90) days
after the end of any Fiscal Year, prepare and provide to Owner annual financial
statements and, at Owner's cost and expense, cause such statements to be
audited. Upon request by Owner, Manager shall prepare and supply to Owner
periodic cash flow forecasts. Manager shall also provide to Owner coordination
for external and internal audits, tax planning and compliance in a manner and
form mutually agreeable by Owner and Manager, and Manager shall provide
additional information reasonably required by individual partners of Owner for
their financial statement purposes for an amount equal to the cost of obtaining
such work.
4.3 Copies of Documentation. Manager shall maintain, and make
available to Owner upon reasonable notice at the place of business maintained by
Manager the following:
(a) All bank statements, bank deposit slips and bank
reconciliations,
(b) Cash receipts and disbursement records,
(c) Trial balance,
(d) Paid invoices,
(e) Summaries of adjusting journal entries, and
(f) Supporting documentation for payroll, payroll taxes and
employee benefits.
ARTICLE V.
LEASING ACTIVITIES
Manager shall be the exclusive leasing agent of the Project, and
shall perform all leasing functions relating to the Project. As provided in
Article IX hereof, Manager shall be paid for such leasing activities in
conformity with Schedule 5 to this Agreement, which amounts shall be in addition
to the compensation otherwise payable to Manager hereunder. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Manager's leasing function includes the following:
5.1 Leasing. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
lease all space in the Project which is now vacant, becomes vacant or is
projected to become vacant during the Term, subject to the limitations imposed
by the Annual Plan, and Manager's responsibilities shall include lease
negotiation coordination, tenant improvement coordination, governmental liaison,
opening activities, tenant liaison, facilitating tenant move-in and similar
activities. Manager may, in its sole discretion, engage the services of other
outside cooperating real estate brokers to lease space in the Project on behalf
of Owner and who shall be paid by Owner such commissions as may be included in
the Annual Plan or are otherwise established by Owner and Manager from time to
time. Manager shall, so far as possible, procure references from
4
prospective tenants, investigate such references and use its best judgment in
the selection of prospective tenants. Where appropriate, upon the occurrence of
a vacancy or a projected vacancy, Manager will prepare and disseminate adequate
rental listings. After a vacancy is listed, Manager will cooperate with brokers
in an effort to aid in successfully filling the vacancy. Manager shall establish
procedures to ensure that ample time is available to renew existing leases or
obtain new tenants in an effort to minimize vacancies and loss of income.
5.2 Lease Negotiations. Owner shall refer all inquiries concerning
the rental of space in the Project to Manager. All negotiations with prospective
tenants shall be conducted by Manager or under its direction. All leases shall
be prepared by Manager in the name of Owner and shall be in accordance with such
leasing guidelines as Owner and Manager shall agree upon from time to time.
Manager shall secure Owner's prior written approval before entering into any
lease that is not in compliance with the leasing plan set forth in the Annual
Plan. All leases shall be presented to and executed by Owner. Manager shall duly
and punctually comply with all the obligations of Owner under all leases with
tenants of space in the Project, but solely on behalf of Owner and at Owner's
expense.
5.3 Advertising and Promotion. Manager shall prepare all
advertising and promotional materials for the Project, which materials shall be
used only after Owner's approval and shall comply with all applicable laws,
ordinances and regulations. The costs of all advertising and promotional
materials shall be at Owner's sole cost and expense and shall either be in
accordance with the Approved Operating Budget or otherwise approved by Owner in
writing.
5.4 Rates. Rental rates for space in the Project shall be
established by Owner. Manager shall, promptly following the execution of this
Agreement and from time to time thereafter, provide market information and
general office space rental rate surveys and make recommendations to Owner with
respect to rental rates.
5.5 Lender Approval. Manager shall assist Owner, as requested, in
obtaining any approvals of proposed leases for the Project, the tenants and the
terms thereof which may be required from the Project's lenders, including senior
financing, mezzanine level financing or preferred equity (each, a "Lender" and
collectively, "Lenders") in accordance with the terms of the applicable loan
documents.
ARTICLE VI.
MANAGEMENT OF PROJECT
Manager shall manage, operate and maintain the Project in accordance
with the general standards applicable to other first-class office buildings in
the area and in accordance with Loan Compliance Requirements. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Manager's functions hereunder shall include the
following:
6.1 Manager Orientation. Manager has informed itself with respect
to the layout, construction, location, character, plan and operation of the
lighting, heating, plumbing, ventilating and elevator systems and any other
mechanical equipment and systems in the Project, and is familiar therewith, and
shall be responsible for enforcement of all warranties and
5
guaranties pertaining to the equipment of the Project, provided Owner has made
available copies of all such warranties or guarantees to Manager.
6.2 General Management Duties. Manager shall manage the
Project in an efficient and businesslike manner having due regard for the age
and physical condition of the Project. Manager, through its employees,
independent contractors and subcontractors, shall supply complete operational
services for the Project, provided that the nature and costs of such services
are included in the then current Approved Budgets, and provided further that the
cost of such services are comparable with general prevailing market conditions.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary and as
reasonably requested by Owner, Manager shall perform its obligations under this
Agreement in a manner which does not cause Owner to violate any of its
obligations under Owner's organizational documents or any loan documents with
Lenders; provided, however, (i) that Owner shall make all such documentation
available to Manager for its review; and (ii) that such requests shall not
materially increase Manager's obligations or its non-reimbursable expenses under
this Agreement.
6.3 Subcontracting for Services. Manager shall be entitled to
subcontract with Xxxxxxx Properties Services, Inc., a Maryland corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Manager, or another affiliate of Manager (a
"Subcontractor"), to perform or cause to be provided any of the services
required of Manager hereunder; provided, however, that no such subcontract shall
relieve Manager from its obligations to Owner under this Agreement. All payments
made by Manager to a Subcontractor pursuant to any such subcontract shall be
reimburseable by Owner in accordance with the Annual Plan and the terms hereof.
6.4 Rent Collection. Subject to the Loan Compliance
Requirements and any "Cash Management System" (as hereinafter defined), Manager
shall use diligent efforts to collect for the account of Owner all rents and
other charges which may become due at any time from any tenant or from others
for services provided in connection with or for the use of the Project or any
portion thereof, and as directed by Owner, shall institute collection and legal
proceedings in the name of Owner for the collection thereof and for the
dispossession of tenants and other persons from the Project. All attorneys' fees
(including charges and disbursements incurred by counsel) and other third party
out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such proceedings shall be borne
by Owner. Manager shall collect and identify any income due Owner from
miscellaneous services provided to tenants or the public including, but not
limited to, parking income, tenant storage, and coin operated machines of all
types. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall collect rents and deposit
same or cause rents to be collected and deposited in the manner required by the
Loan Compliance Requirements.
6.5 Repairs and Maintenance. Manager shall, in the name of and
at the expense of Owner, make or cause to be made on behalf of Owner such
ordinary maintenance, repairs and alterations as Manager may deem advisable or
necessary, subject to and within the limitations of the Operating Budget. Such
duties shall include, without limitation, interior and exterior cleaning,
painting, plumbing, carpentry, engineering, landscaping and such other normal
maintenance and repair work as may be necessary or desirable. However, unless
contained in the Annual Plan, Manager shall secure Owner's prior written
approval before making or authorizing any expenditure which costs (i) in excess
of 5% for any line item in the budgets included in the Annual Plan, or (ii)
$25,000, whichever is less, and is not reasonably
6
contemplated in the Annual Plan; provided, however, that Manager may make
expenditures in excess of the foregoing restrictions in the event of an
emergency if, in the opinion of Manager, such repairs are necessary to (a)
protect the Project, (b) maintain services to tenants as called for in their
leases, (c) avoid property damage to the Project or any improvements benefiting
or appurtenant thereto, and (d) avoid personal injury or death to persons at or
around the Project. Manager shall promptly advise Owner's designated
representative regarding any expenditures for such emergency repairs by
notifying a person designated by Owner for such purpose. The authority provided
to Manager in this Section 6.5 shall not extend to expenditures of the type
described in Section 6.6 below or to expenses to refurbish, rehabilitate or
remodel areas covered by new leases. The latter expenditures are subject to the
prior approval of Owner at the time of execution of new leases. Manager shall
promptly inform Owner of major increases in repair and maintenance costs not
reflected in the Annual Plan.
6.6 Capital Improvements; Tenant Improvements. Any significant
development, capital improvement projects or tenant improvement projects shall
be administered and supervised by Manager or an affiliate thereof engaged by
Owner pursuant to a separate written development agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Manager shall, in the name of and at the expense of Owner, make or
cause to be made such capital improvements to the Project as are included in the
Capital Budget or are otherwise approved by Owner, as well as all remodeling and
refurbishing of tenant premises as approved by Owner in connection with new
leases. Manager shall make recommendations, select contractors and follow bid
procedures as required, from time to time, by Owner and shall supervise all such
work to ensure compliance with contract requirements and applicable law;
provided, however, that contractors selected by Manager pursuant to this Section
6.6 shall be limited to those included on a list of contractors which has been
pre-approved by Owner. For all such capital improvement projects, development
work or tenant improvement projects, Manager shall be paid a coordination fee as
set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto.
6.7 Service Contracts. Manager shall, in the name of and at
the expense of Owner, contract for those utilities and other building operation
and maintenance services Manager shall deem advisable; provided that no service
contract shall be for a term exceeding one year without the prior written
approval of Owner, and the cost of all such services shall be included in the
Operating Budget or otherwise approved in writing in advance by Owner. Further,
at the time of execution of any service contract, the cost of the services to be
provided under such contract shall be comparable with general prevailing market
conditions. Manager shall, at the Owner's expense, purchase and keep the Project
furnished with all necessary supplies. All expenses shall be charged to Owner at
net cost, and Owner shall be credited with all rebates, refunds, allowances and
discounts allowed to Manager. No service contracts with any affiliate of Manager
or any affiliate of any of the members of Owner shall be entered into except in
accordance with the Loan Compliance Requirements and this Agreement.
6.8 Tax and Mortgage Payments. If requested by Owner, Manager
shall obtain, verify and pay from Project Income (as defined below) all bills
for payments due under all mortgages, real estate, personal property and
improvement assessments with respect to the Project and Owner's personal
property located therein. In such event, all such expenses shall be included in
the Operating Budget.
7
6.9 Insurance. Manager shall, at Owner's cost and expense,
obtain and maintain insurance with respect to the Project in customary levels
and in accordance with the Annual Plan, which may be provided through an
umbrella policy. Manager shall also cooperate with Owner's insurance carrier in
the processing of claims and defense and settlement of lawsuits with respect to
the Project.
6.10 Writeoffs and Abandonments. Manager shall obtain the
approval of Owner for the writeoff, abandonment or reduction of any amounts
otherwise due Owner from Project operations.
6.11 Lockbox and Cash Management Arrangements. Manager shall
cooperate with Owner and the Lenders with respect to any lock box or cash
management arrangements established by Owner and any Lender (a "Cash Management
System"). All payments required to be made by Manager under this Agreement for
taxes, insurance, operating expenses, capital expenditures and other expenses
relating to the Project shall be subject to the terms and provisions of any such
Cash Management System. At Owner's direction, Manager shall coordinate with the
Lenders to cause all remaining funds, after all required payments and reserves
are made pursuant to any Cash Management System, to be deposited into one or
more Project Accounts (as defined below) established by Manager for the benefit
of Owner pursuant to Section 8.1 below.
6.12 Monitoring Accounts. Manager shall monitor, through
computer access to the extent available, all Project Accounts and other accounts
established by Manager on behalf of Owner and/or required by any Lender. In the
event Manager determines at any time that funds in such accounts are
insufficient for such purposes, Manager shall immediately inform Owner of such
insufficiency and provide Owner with a statement of outstanding amounts
currently due. Unless otherwise required by the Loan Compliance Requirements or
any Cash Management System, all funds received by Manager for or on behalf of
Owner (less any sums properly deducted by Manager pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Agreement and the Annual Plan) shall be deposited in the
appropriate Project Account maintained by Manager for the deposit of funds of
Owner and not mingled with the funds of Manager or any other project.
6.13 Return of Excess Funds in Project Account. Subject to the
terms of any Cash Management System and the Loan Compliance Requirements, on
each date that Manager provides Owner with a Monthly Report, Manager shall also
remit to Owner all funds, if any, that are available in the Project Accounts,
after deducting the Management Fee, Leasing Commissions (as defined below)
and/or reimbursements due to Manager and any Contingency Reserve or other
amounts agreed to from time to time by Owner and Manager.
ARTICLE VII.
METHODS OF OPERATION
7.1 Contracting. All service contracts permitted to be entered
into pursuant to Section 6.7 above, all contracts for capital improvements and
all contracts for the refurbishing and modeling of tenant spaces which (a) cover
expenditures included within the Annual Plan or expenditures which are otherwise
approved in advance by Owner or (b) which are approved in advance by Owner or
otherwise meet criteria established by Owner for such contracts, shall be
8
executed by Manager as agent for Owner. Without relieving it of its obligations
hereunder, pursuant to Section 6.3 above, Manager shall be entitled, in its
discretion and at its cost, to enter in its own name into such subcontracts with
third parties or affiliates to perform any of the management functions which are
the subject of this Agreement as it may determine. All other contracts with
respect to the Project and all tenant leases shall be executed by Owner. Upon
any termination of this Agreement, Manager shall, if requested by Owner, assign
all assignable contracts executed by Manager to Owner.
7.2 Compliance With Laws. Subject to the other provisions of
this Agreement, Manager shall be responsible for operating and maintaining the
Project in compliance with known federal, state and municipal laws, ordinances,
regulations and orders relative to the leasing, use, operation, repair and
maintenance of the Project and with the rules, regulations or orders of the
local Board of Fire Underwriters or other similar body (collectively, the "Legal
Requirements") and in accordance with the Loan Compliance Requirements. At
Owner's expense, Manager shall promptly remedy any violation of any Legal
Requirements or Loan Compliance Requirements which comes to its attention, and
further agrees, at Owner's expense, to promptly provide to Owner written notice
of any known actual, alleged or threatened violation of or failure to comply
with any Legal Requirement or Loan Compliance Requirement. Expenses incurred in
so complying and in correcting any such violation shall be included in the
Annual Plan or otherwise approved in advance by Owner. Subject to the following
sentence, Manager shall also be responsible for compliance with all terms and
conditions contained in any ground lease or space lease or security instrument
affecting the Project and for remedying any breach thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, Manager's responsibilities under this Section 7.2 shall not
extend to matters (i) caused by Owner's gross negligence or willful misconduct,
or (ii) as to which the expenditure of Owner's funds is required but disapproved
by Owner. Manager shall assist Owner in Owner's efforts to comply with Federal,
State or other governmental energy conservation laws, regulations, rules, etc.,
and, in addition, shall cooperate with Owner to implement such energy
conservation programs as Owner may desire to implement from time to time.
7.3 Bonding. All employees of Manager who handle or are
responsible for Owner's funds shall, if requested by Owner, be covered by a
fidelity bond. The amount of such bond shall be determined by Owner and the
premium therefor shall be an operating expense of the Project.
7.4 Legal Proceedings. Manager shall, at Owner's request and
expense, engage counsel and cause such legal proceedings to be instituted as may
be necessary to enforce payment of rent and compliance with leases or to
dispossess tenants. Manager shall use Owner's legal counsel or other legal
counsel approved by Owner to institute such actions, and all compromises shall
be subject to the prior approval of Owner. Attorneys' fees and costs so incurred
shall be expenses of the Project but shall be submitted to Owner for approval
prior to payment. Manager shall deliver copies of all written notices or other
documentation evidencing actual or threatened lawsuits to Owner promptly upon
receipt by Manager.
7.5 Employment of Personnel. Manager shall have in its employ
at all times a sufficient number of capable employees to enable it to properly,
adequately, safely and economically manage, operate and maintain the Project;
provided, however, that Manager may
9
cause Owner to directly employ the personnel listed on Schedule 3 under the
heading "Owner's Employees", which personnel shall operate under the supervision
and direction of Manager. The remaining personnel on Schedule 3 shall also be
under the supervision and direction of Manager. Manager may, in its discretion,
cause additional or fewer on-site employees to be employed either by Owner,
Manager or a subcontractor for the benefit of the Project as it deems necessary
or appropriate in order to manage the Project in a first-class manner consistent
with comparable projects in the area; provided, however, that employment of any
additional on-site employees for which no provision has been made in the Annual
Plan must have the prior written consent of Owner. All matters pertaining to the
employment, supervision, compensation, promotion and discharge of such
employees, as well as union negotiation and compliance with laws and regulations
dealing with employee matters, shall be coordinated by Manager; provided,
however, that Owner shall have the right to request that any particular employee
be prohibited from working at or for the benefit of the Project. The wages,
salaries and other compensation paid to employees of the Project, and to others
who perform special services for the benefit of the Project, shall be paid in
accordance with Article IX hereof. This Agreement is not one of employment of
Manager by Owner, but one with Manager engaged as an independent contractor in
the business of property management. In the event that any expenses are
attributable in part to the Project and in part to other properties owned and
managed by Manager, such expenses shall be prorated by Manager as appropriate
from time to time and in a manner agreeable to Owner and Manager. Upon request
by Owner, Manager will submit to Owner a report of all such prorations.
7.6 Services to Existing Tenants. At Owner's expense, Manager
shall perform services for tenants of the Project which are normally provided to
tenants of other first class buildings in the area or which are specifically
requested by Owner. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to render
such services to tenants of the Project in an effort to minimize any cost to
Owner and in a manner that is consistent with the standards set forth in this
Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII.

compliance with the terms of any Cash Management System, Manager (on behalf of
Owner) shall establish an operating trust account or accounts for the Project at

Owner may approve from time to time (each, a "Project Account") and, subject to
the Loan Compliance Requirements and any Cash Management System, all funds
collected from the operation of the Project, shall be deposited in the

and shall be maintained as required by law, any Cash Management System, Owner or
the Loan Compliance Requirements. Owner may require

disbursements or distributions of Project funds from time to time, and Manager
shall promptly comply with all such directions from Owner.

the Project; provided, however, that Manager shall obtain the prior approval of
Owner for the employment of such special personnel, except in emergency
situations or when timing requirements do not allow for such prior approval.
Owner shall reimburse Manager for such direct services rendered by special
personnel in an amount commensurate with normal and customary charges for such
services by similarly qualified persons. Persons whose compensation may not be
charged to Owner for services rendered to the Project includes the general asset
management personnel of Manager who are not on-site of the Project.

associated with operating an on-site business office. Further, Owner shall
provide for the use of Manager a furnished management office in the Project, to
be utilized directly for the benefit of the Project, together with high speed
internet service, e-mail, telephone service, office janitorial service, printed
form and customary office supplies and equipment (such as computers,

such office, and the total cost thereof, shall be determined by Owner from time
to time based upon the recommendations of Manager.
9.4 Non-Reimbursable Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth
on Schedule 2, the following expenses or costs incurred by or on behalf of
Manager in connection with this Agreement shall be at the sole cost and expense
of Manager and shall not be reimbursed by Owner:

insurance, worker's compensation and other benefits of Manager's office
personnel not employed on site of the
12
Project and not employed as special personnel as provided in Section 9.2(b)
above. Such personnel include those identified on Schedule 4 hereof.
(b) General accounting and reporting services which are
considered to be within the reasonable scope of the Manager's responsibility
under this Agreement.

travel by Manager's employees or associates to and from the Project.

fraud on the part of Manager, Manager's associates or Manager's employees.

amounts described in Sections 9.1 through 9.3 above shall be as follows:
(a) The monthly Management Fee payable pursuant to Section 9.1
above shall be calculated and paid concurrently with Manager's submission of its
monthly accounting to Owner and, upon submission of such accounting, Manager may
pay such fee from Project operating funds then in its possession or control or
in a Project Account.
(b) Employee expenses and out of pocket expenses pursuant to
Sections 9.2 and 9.3 shall be reimbursed to Manager at the time incurred by

operating funds under its possession or control or in a Project Account. A
detailed summary of such reimbursable expenses shall be included on Manager's
monthly accounting to Owner.
ARTICLE X.
INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION.
10.1 Indemnity and Hold Harmless. Owner agrees to:
(a) Hold and save Manager free and harmless from any damage or
injuries to persons or property by reason of any cause whatsoever either in and
about the Project or elsewhere when Manager is carrying out the provisions of
this Agreement or acting under the express or implied directions of Owner.
(b) Reimburse Manager upon demand for any moneys which Manager
is required to pay out for any reason whatsoever, under this Agreement or in
connection with, or as an expense in defense of any claim, civil or criminal
action, proceeding, charge or prosecution made, instituted or maintained against
Manager or Owner and Manager, jointly or severally, affecting or due to the
condition or use of the Project or acts or omissions of Manager or employees of
Owner or Manager, or arising out of or based upon any law, regulation,
requirement, contract, or award relating to the hours of employment, working
conditions, wages or compensation of employees or former employees.
(c) Defend promptly and diligently, at Owner's expense, any
claim, action or proceeding brought against Manager or Manager and Owner jointly
or severally arising out of or
13
connected with any of the foregoing, and to hold harmless and fully indemnify
Manager from any judgment, loss or settlement on account thereof.
The foregoing agreement of Owner shall expressly extend to any liabilities,
claims and costs of defense arising out of or resulting from failure or refusal
of Owner to authorize compliance with any law, rule, order or determination of
any governmental authority with respect to the Project, where such matter is
promptly brought to Owner's attention by Manager, and Owner declines to comply
with the same. Nothing contained herein, however, shall relieve Manager of
responsibility to Owner for Manager's gross negligence or willful misconduct,
unless such gross negligence or willful misconduct is covered by Owner's
insurance. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement.
10.2 Insurance.
(a) Owner's Insurance. Owner agrees to carry public liability,
elevator liability and contractual liability insurance (specifically insuring
the indemnity provisions contained in Section 10.1 above), and such other
insurance as the parties agree to be necessary or desirable for the protection
of the interests of Owner and Manager, which may be provided through an umbrella
policy. In each such policy of insurance, Owner shall designate Manager as a
party insured with Owner and the carrier and the amount of coverage in each
policy shall be mutually agreed upon by Owner and Manager. A certificate of each
policy issued by the carrier shall be delivered promptly to Manager by Owner.
All policies shall provide for 30 days' written notice to Manager and Owner
prior to cancellation, non-renewal or material amendment.
(b) Manager's Insurance. If requested by Owner at any time
during the Term, Manager (as a reimbursable expense under this Agreement) and
any independent contractors employed by Manager (at such contractor's expense)
shall maintain in full force and effect commercial general liability, workers'
compensation, employer's liability and such other insurance as Owner may
reasonably require with such limits as are customary for managers of similar
first class projects in the area.
10.3 Conditions. Owner's obligations under Sections 10.1 and 10.2
are upon the condition that Manager:
(a) Notifies Owner within five (5) business days after Manager
receives notice of any such loss, damage or injury.
(b) Takes no action (such as admission of liability) which
might bar Owner from obtaining any protection afforded by any policy Owner may
hold or which might prejudice Owner in its defense to a claim based on such
loss, damage or injury.
(c) Agrees that Owner shall have the exclusive right, at its
option, to conduct the defense to any claim, demand or suit within limits
prescribed by the policy or policies of insurance.
(d) Cooperates with Owner in disposition of claims, including
furnishing all available information to Owner's carrier.
14
(e) Recognizes that the foregoing shall not affect the general
requirement of this Agreement that the Project shall be managed, operated and
maintained in a safe condition and in a proper and careful manner.
10.4 Insurance Provisions. Owner shall include, in its hazard
policy covering the Project, personal property, fixtures and equipment located
thereon, and Manager shall include in any fire policies for its furniture,
furnishings or fixtures situated at the Project, appropriate clauses pursuant to
which the respective insurance carriers shall waive all rights of subrogation
with respect to losses payable under such policies. If such clauses are
available and obtained in the respective insurance policies of Owner and
Manager, each of Owner and Manager waive any claim against the other covered by
their respective aforementioned policies of insurance.
10.5 Third Party Insurance. If requested by Owner, Manager shall
require that all contractors and service companies operating in or on the
Project maintain such worker's compensation, employer's liability and
comprehensive general liability insurance as may be reasonably required by
Owner, including any special coverage required by Owner in connection with
hazardous operations.
ARTICLE XI.

11.1 Termination. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article II
hereof, this Agreement may be terminated prior to the expiration of the Term
upon any of the following events:
(a) Manager may resign at any time, for any reason or no
reason, upon giving Owner at least ninety (90) days prior written notice; or,
(b) Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice, Owner may
terminate this Agreement upon closing of a sale, transfer or exchange by Owner
(including foreclosure) of Owner's entire interest in the Project or its right
to collect the income therefrom, unless the transferee elects prior to such
closing and by written notice consented to by Manager, to assume the obligations
of Owner pursuant to this Agreement accruing subsequent to such closing;
(c) Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Manager,
Owner may terminate this Agreement at any time for "cause," as such term is

cure, Owner shall not be entitled to terminate for such cause unless (1) Manager
shall fail, after Owner gives Manager written notice of the existence of such
cause for termination hereof, to cure the cause for termination promptly, and in
any event within ninety (90) days after such written notice, or (2) if the cure
for such cause for termination would reasonably require more than ninety (90)
days to complete (except that there shall be no opportunity to cure a cause for
termination described in subsection (iii) below) Manager shall fail to commence
to cure such cause for termination promptly, and in any event within said ninety
(90) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion. The
term "cause" as used herein in connection with the termination of this Agreement
shall mean (i) the failure by Manager (in the reasonable opinion of Owner) to

trustee or receiver to take possession of all or any portion of Manager's assets
or of Manager's interest in this Agreement, where possession is not restored to
Manager within one hundred twenty (120) days; or the attachment, execution or
other judicial seizure of all or any portion of Manager's interest in this
Agreement, where such seizure is not discharged within one hundred twenty (120)
days or (v) an assignment of this Agreement by Manager that is not permitted by
Section 12.4 hereof. If the parties dispute whether "cause" exists for purposes
of this Section 11.1(c), the parties shall initiate the dispute resolution
provisions contained in Section 12.13 below. During any such pending dispute,
Manager shall remain fully responsible for its obligations and duties hereunder
and all Management Fees shall continue to be paid to Manager until the effective
date of the termination of this Agreement.

Agreement by any means:

assignment by Owner in connection with a sale of the Project; provided, further,
that Manager may subcontract with affiliates of Manager and/or third parties to

subsequent time, or of the terms of any other covenant, agreement, provision or
condition contained in this Agreement.
17
12.10 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and each of the

person claiming under or through them, establish or permit any such practice or
practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection,
location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees
or vendees of the land.
12.12 Subordination. This Agreement, and any and all rights of

or the trustee or beneficiary of any deed of trust or any of their respective
successors in interest may reasonably request to evidence such subordination. At

Agreement reasonably required by such lender or lessor, provided that such
amendment does not (i) increase Manager's financial obligations hereunder, or
(ii) have a material adverse effect upon Manager's rights hereunder, or (iii)
materially increase Manager's non-economic obligations hereunder.
12.13 Dispute Resolution. The parties hereby agree that, in order to
obtain prompt and expeditious resolution of any disputes under this Agreement,
each claim, dispute or controversy of whatever nature, arising out of, in
connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance or breach of
this Agreement (or any other agreement contemplated by or related to this
Agreement or any other agreement between the parties), including without
limitation any claim based on contract, tort or statute, or the arbitrability of
any claim hereunder (an "Arbitrable Claim"), shall be settled by final and
binding arbitration conducted in Los Angeles, California. The arbitrability of
any Arbitrable Claims under this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with
a two-step dispute resolution process administered by Judicial Arbitration &
Mediation
18
Services, Inc. ("JAMS") involving, first, mediation before a retired judge from
the JAMS panel, followed, if necessary, by final and binding arbitration before
the same, or if requested by either party, another JAMS panelist. Such dispute
resolution process shall be confidential and shall be conducted in accordance
with California Evidence Code Section 1119.
(i) Mediation. In the event any Arbitrable Claim is not
resolved by an informal negotiation between the parties within
fifteen (15) days after either party receives written notice that a
Arbitrable Claim exists, the matter shall be referred to the Los
Angeles, California office of JAMS, or any other office agreed to by
the parties, for an informal, non-binding mediation consisting of one
or more conferences between the parties in which a retired judge will
seek to guide the parties to a resolution of the Arbitrable Claims.
The parties shall select a mutually acceptable neutral arbitrator
from among the JAMS panel of mediators. In the event the parties
cannot agree on a mediator, the Administrator of JAMS will appoint a
mediator. The mediation process shall continue until the earliest to
occur of the following: (i) the Arbitrable Claims are resolved, (ii)
the mediator makes a finding that there is no possibility of
resolution through mediation, or (iii) thirty (30) days have elapsed
since the Arbitrable Claim was first scheduled for mediation.
(ii) Arbitration. Should any Arbitrable Claims remain
after the completion of the mediation process described above, the
parties agree to submit all remaining Arbitrable Claims to final and
binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the then
existing JAMS Arbitration Rules. Neither party nor the arbitrator
shall disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration
hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties. Except as
provided herein, the California Arbitration Act shall govern the
interpretation, enforcement and all proceedings pursuant to this
subsection. The arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any
substantive law other than the laws selected or otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement. The arbitrator shall render an award and
a written, reasoned opinion in support thereof. Such award may
include reasonable attorneys' fees to the prevailing party. Judgment
upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof.
(iii) Costs. The parties shall bear their respective costs
incurred in connection with the procedures described in this Section
12.13, except that the parties shall equally share the fees and
expenses of the mediator or arbitrator and the costs of the facility
for the hearing.
(iv) Survivability. This dispute resolution process shall
survive the termination of this Agreement. The parties expressly
acknowledge that by signing this Agreement, they are giving up their
respective right to a jury trial.

SCHEDULE 5
(SCHEDULE OF LEASING COMMISSIONS)
Subject to the terms of the Property Management and Leasing
Agreement to which this Schedule 5 is attached, Owner agrees to pay to Manager
leasing commissions as follows:
1. Commission Rate. Owner shall pay commissions to Manager in
accordance with this commission schedule (this "Schedule") for leases of any
space in the Project as follows: (i) four percent (4%) of the total Minimum Base
Rent for the first five years of the lease term, (ii) two percent (2%) of the
total Minimum Base Rent for the sixth through tenth years of the lease term, and
(iii) one percent (1%) of the total Minimum Base Rent for the eleventh through
fifteenth years of the lease term. In the event the lease term is in excess of
fifteen years, no commission shall be paid on said excess term. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Paragraph 1 to the contrary, in the event an existing
tenant enters into a new lease for space in the Project, Manager shall receive a
commission of four percent (4%) of the total Minimum Base Rent for the first
five years of the new lease term, two percent (2%) of the total Minimum Base
Rent for the sixth through tenth years of the new lease term, and no commission
for any additional years of the new lease term. In the event a prospective
tenant executes a lease for space in the Project, but does not actually pay rent
for such space for reasons unrelated to any default of Owner, Manager shall not
be entitled to any commission with respect to such lease, and shall refund to
Owner any commissions paid with respect thereto.
2. Computation of Commissions. Commissions shall be computed in
accordance with the above rates based upon the "Minimum Base Rent" set forth in
the lease, as follows:
(a) The term "Minimum Base Rent" shall mean the fixed minimum
annual rent for any given year (which includes Landlord's stipulated base
operating expenses and taxes and also includes any rent due for must-take space
in years in which rent on such space is due) provided in the lease for office
space or commercial plaza space, excluding any and all other additional rent
(such as, but not limited to, operating expense escalations, tax escalations,
payments for tenant improvements in excess of building standing provided by
Landlord, percentage rent, cost-of-living escalation or parking).
(b) Minimum Base Rent shall be reduced by the net cost to
Owner of any rental concessions of any kind, including but not limited to,
tenant improvements in excess of building standard, free rent, parking
concessions, lease buy-outs, tax or operating expense concessions.
(c) If a rental concession is made by Owner allowing tenant
not to pay rent for an initial portion of the lease term, then the commission
shall be determined as follows: First, there shall be calculated the average
Minimum Base Rent for the entire term of the lease period on a straight line
basis (the "Average Minimum Rent"), which shall be the product of (i) the
aggregate Minimum Base Rent payable by the tenant during the term of the lease,
divided by
Schedule 5-1
the number of months in the term of the lease, (ii) multiplied by twelve (12).
Second, commissions shall be payable in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 1
above except that for purposes of calculating the commissions pursuant to
Paragraph 1 the Average Minimum Rent shall be used in lieu of the Minimum Base
Rent.
3. Other Broker Commissions.
(a) If a licensed real estate broker other than Manager, or a
broker affiliated or associated with Manager, is the broker of record of any
lease in the Project, Owner will pay such other broker a commission in
accordance with Paragraph 1 above.
(b) With respect to any lease entered into by Owner for the
Project prior to the termination of this Agreement, where Owner pays a
commission to such other broker referred to in Paragraph 3(a) above of this
Schedule, then Manager shall be entitled to a commission only in the amount of
50% of the commission Manager otherwise would have been entitled to pursuant to
this Schedule; provided, however, in no event shall the aggregate commissions
paid by Owner to all brokers (including Manager) for any such lease exceed one
hundred fifty percent (150%) of a full commission as computed in accordance with
this Schedule without the express written consent of Owner.
4. Options to Extend or Renew the Term
(a) In the event a tenant exercises an option or right of
first refusal contained in the lease to renew or extend the original term of the
lease, Owner shall pay Manager a commission on the Minimum Base Rent during the
renewal or extension period in accordance with Paragraph 1 above, computed as if
such renewal or extension term were part of the initial term of the lease;
provided, however, that Manager shall receive a commission of four percent (4%)
for the first five years of the renewal or extension term, two percent (2%) for
the sixth through tenth years of the renewal or extension term, and no
commission for any additional years of the renewal or extension term.
(b) In the event a tenant leases additional space pursuant to
an option or right of first refusal contained in its lease, Owner shall pay to
Manager a commission on the Minimum Base Rent for such additional space in
accordance with Paragraph 1 above, computed as if the tenant had been obligated
to lease such additional space under the original lease. To illustrate, assume
that a tenant entered into a lease with a twenty-year term with an option to
lease additional space at any time during the term of the lease for the balance
of the term of the lease. Assume that the tenant exercised the option to lease
the additional space commencing the fourth year of the term of the lease.
Manager would be entitled to a commission of 4% of the annual additional Minimum
Base Rent for the first two years (i.e., the 4th and 5th years), 2% of the
additional annual Minimum Base Rent for following five years (i.e., the 6th
through 10th years), and 1% of the additional annual Minimum Base Rent for the
next five years (i.e., the 11th through 15th years).
(c) Commissions pursuant to Paragraph 4(a) and (b), above,
attributable to options exercised after the original occupancy by tenant shall
be deemed payable upon exercise of the option. In the case of options exercised
prior to the occupancy, such
Schedule 5-2
commissions shall be due and payable in the same manner as if the option had
been exercised on the date the lease was executed.
5. Cancellation Clauses. Where the tenant, or the Owner, has the
right to cancel a lease prior to the expiration date, Manager shall initially be
paid a commission based on the aggregate Minimum Base Rent for the uncancellable
portion of the term, plus any cancellation penalty or fee payable by tenant
pursuant to the lease. If, thereafter, the lease is not cancelled by the tenant
or if the right of cancellation is exercised by Owner only, Manager shall be
paid the balance of the commission based on the aggregate Minimum Base Rent for
the remaining portion of the lease term, less the cancellation fee or penalty
computed as if there had been no right of cancellation in the lease. A lease
shall not be deemed cancelled within the meaning of this paragraph unless the
tenant is not obligated to pay rent.
6. Time of Payment. Except as otherwise provided, commissions earned
by Manager (or any other broker) pursuant to this Agreement are payable as
follows:
(a) One-half upon execution of the lease by tenant and Owner;
and
(b) One-half upon occupancy by tenant, but in no event later
than ninety (90) days after the date the lease is signed by Owner and tenant.
