PGI agrees to manage the Building on behalf and in the best interests of the Company during the term of this Agreement in a faithful, diligent and honest manner and is hereby authorized to enter into such contracts and agreements as Manager of the Building as PGI considers necessary or advisable in the performance of the following duties:
(a) To use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the performance of all covenants, duties and obligations of the Company pursuant to all leases and tenancy agreements which are in effect during the term of this Agreement insofar as such performance is consistent with the terms of this Agreement and any subsequent written instruction given from time to time by the Company;
(b) To collect all rents and, where applicable, additional rents payable pursuant to escalation clauses, maintenance, parking and other charges payable by the tenants or occupants of the Building and any other monies

(c) To hire in the name of PGI and at compensation levels (including benefits) deemed suitable by PGI all building staff (hereinafter “Building Staff) required for the proper operation and maintenance of the Building and its equipment, and to supervise and direct the work of all Building Staff. Such expenses shall be reimbursed to PGI by the Company. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Building Staff” is defined to include the Building manager, engineering personnel, maintenance personnel, rental agents or any lower position of employment directly related to the Building. PGI shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, sex or national origin. In the event that the Building is no longer managed by PGI and it accordingly becomes necessary to terminate Building Staff whose salaries were previously paid at the Company’s expense, all costs and damages related to the termination of Building Staff shall be borne by the Company, including all costs and damages related to subsequent claims for wrongful dismissal. PGI shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that all terminations, whether necessitated through a reduction in the management portfolio or otherwise, are carried out on an equitable basis and in accordance with all applicable labor laws. PGI shall ensure that all Building Staff and other employees involved with the management of the Building are bonded under a blanket fidelity insurance policy. That portion of the premium applicable to Building Staff shall be borne by the Company.
(d) To direct and supervise any persons employed pursuant to this Agreement for the operation and maintenance of any heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and other equipment which the Company desires or is obligated to operate and maintain and to arrange for any technical assistance to and/or instruction of Building Staff which may be required for the proper operation and maintenance of such equipment;
(e) To specify duties and arrange for the preparation of any work schedules necessary to direct the activities of Building Staff and to provide such supervision as may be reasonably required in PGI’s opinion to verify the adequacy with which any such duties and work are being performed;
(f) To arrange for the supply as may be required of electricity, gas, steam, fuel, water, telephone and other services and to arrange through use of Building Staff and/or independent contractors (as in each instance may seem the more desirable) for the effective and economical operation, maintenance and repair of the Building and its equipment (including, without limitation, any heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, plumbing,
-3-
electrical and elevator equipment) as may be required by the Company or deemed desirable by PGI or so as to comply with the enforcement of any regulations and requirement of which PGI is notified by the local board of health, police and fire departments and any other municipal, state and federal authorities having jurisdiction which affect the Building and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such arrangements shall include those for janitorial service and any other cleaning, including windows, building security, pest control, removal of litter, disposal of waste, snow and ice removal, landscaping and grounds maintenance, painting and redecoration, and alterations, including interior finishing work. PGI agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a final lien waiver prior to disbursement of the final construction draw for all tenant construction;
(g) To arrange for the payment (subject to the availability of funds of the Company in the PGI trust account) firstly of all operational expenses and thereafter of such debt service and municipal tax obligations as may be requested by the Company, and to cooperate with the Company and its legal or other appointed representatives in connection with the entering and processing of any appeals regarding municipal tax assessments levied against the Building;
(h) To arrange for any insurance coverages required in PGI’s reasonable judgment unless otherwise directed by the Company in writing, such insurance to include comprehensive general liability and fidelity insurance and coverage against fire or other perils, loss of rental income, plate glass damage, money loss and damage to boiler and machinery. All insurance coverage shall (i) be placed through and with such companies and in such amounts as are selected by PGI, and (ii) conform to the requirements of any mortgage or ground lease of the Building. PGI may maintain any of the insurance coverage required hereunder pursuant to a blanket or umbrella policy covering the Building and other property and assets not constituting a part of the Building or assets of the Company; provided that any such blanket policy shall (i) specify any sublimits in such blanket policy applicable to the Building, and (ii) provide the same coverage and protection as would a separate policy insuring only the Building. The Company acknowledges and agrees that PGI shall not be responsible for the solvency of the issuer of any insurance policy maintained in accordance with the terms hereof. All such policies of insurance shall name the Company, PGI and such other parties as may be required by any mortgage or ground lease of the Building as named insureds thereunder, as their respective interests may appear. PGI shall promptly report to the appropriate insurance company all reportable accidents and claims involving bodily injury or property damage relating to the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Building and any damage to or destruction of the Building. PGI is authorized to settle any and all property damage claims with insurance companies including the
-4-
execution of proof of loss, the adjustment of losses, signing of receipts and the collection of money. PGI shall purchase and keep in force statutory workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance for PGI and its employees (including, without limitation, Building Staff), if required by law in the state in which the Building is located. The cost of such insurance with respect to Building Staff shall be reimbursed to PGI by the Company. An appropriate clause shall be included in, or an endorsement shall be added to, each of the policies for fire or extended coverage insurance and on all other forms of property damage insurance, including, but not limited to, coverage such as water damage (excluding flood), boiler and machinery insurance, sprinkler leakage insurance covering the Building and/or the personal property, fixtures or equipment located therein, whereby the insurer waives subrogation or consent to a waiver of the right to recovery against PGI, and having obtained such clause or endorsement of waiver of subrogation or consent to a waiver of right of recovery, the Company hereby agrees that it will not make any claim against or seek to recover from PGI for any loss or damage to the Building whether covered or not covered by such insurance;
(i) Generally, to do and perform and where desirable, contract (either in its own name or the Company’s name as PGI in each instance may elect) for all things desirable or necessary for the proper and efficient management of the Building (including the giving of proper attention to any complaints, and endeavoring, as far as is economical, to reduce waste) and to perform every other act whatsoever in or about the Building to carry out the intent of this Agreement;
(j) From time to time the Company may notify PGI of certain construction projects with respect to the Building which the Company desires to have completed. Upon receipt of such notice, PGI shall, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, arrange for such contracts and services as may be necessary, in PGI’s judgment, to complete the work specified in the notice. PGI is hereby specifically authorized to act as the construction manager and execute on behalf of the Company any such contracts in connection with such work. PGI shall, before, during and after completion of any construction work performed with respect to the Building, do all things which are reasonably necessary or, in PGI’s judgment, advisable to coordinate, supervise, inspect and manage such construction work. PGI shall obtain approval of the Company prior to expending such amounts which would exceed one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the cost of such construction project agreed upon by PGI and the Company under this Article 3(j); and
(k) To invest funds held by PGI on behalf of the Company in short-term bank deposits, as approved by the Company.

Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the Company to request or follow any advice of PGI with respect to the management of the Company’s assets.
5. PGI shall be entitled to disburse from the monies from time to time held by it in trust for the Company all costs and expenses incurred in providing the services agreed upon in Article 3 above, except for the remuneration and other payroll cost of PGI’s administrative and supervisory personnel not employed as Building Staff.
In the event that the amount of costs and expenses incurred by PGI in the management of the Building exceeds the amount held in trust by PGI for the Company, PGI shall thereupon furnish the Company with an accounting of same and the Company shall be obligated to immediately furnish PGI with sufficient funds to pay the costs and expenses which it has so incurred on behalf of the Company. PGI shall, from time to time, as and when so instructed by the Company, distribute the funds (or any portion thereof as the Company may specify) held in trust by PGI for the Company.

7. PGI will use its commercially reasonable efforts to lease Building space in accordance with prudent management practices having regard to current market conditions and the rental policy of the Company to the extent the Company has notified PGI of such policy.

(b) PGI shall be authorized to disburse required leasing commissions. Where PGI concludes a final leasing contract without the involvement of a commissioned leasing broker, PGI shall be entitled to receive the then- current standard leasing commission otherwise payable to a broker unless otherwise agreed upon.

8. The Company will be responsible for all advertising costs, whether incurred in PGI’s leasing efforts or whether incurred in the hiring of Building Staff.
