written notice to Property Manager. In addition to the foregoing, at Owner's
sole election, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date for

Section 10.1, then Property Manager shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive
remedy, to receive all Management Fees earned and unpaid as of the date of

to Owner by Property Manager. The following shall constitute grounds for
termination by Owner for cause:
10.2.1 PROSPECTIVE TENANTS. If Property Manager, more
than one time per year, without the prior written consent of Owner, directs a
prospective tenant for the Property (defined as a tenant whose size requirement,
interior improvement requirements, intended use of premises, and/or credit
worthiness fit Owner's requirements) to another building owned, managed or
operated by Property Manager or an Affiliate of Property Manager within a
three-mile radius of the Property, unless Property Manager also: (i) provides
Owner with the name of the prospect, (ii) shows the prospect the Property and
(iii) if requested by the prospect, makes a specific lease proposal to the
prospect with respect to leasing space in the Property, whether or not the
tenant becomes a tenant of such other building;
10.2.2 EXISTING TENANTS. If Property Manager, more
than one time per year, without the prior written consent of Owner, (a)
discusses with an existing tenant of the Property the possibility of the tenant
leasing space in another building owned, managed or operated by Property Manager
or an Affiliate of Property Manager within a three-mile radius of the Property
without giving Owner 10 days' prior notice of Property Manager's intention to
hold such discussions, or (b) makes a specific lease proposal to the tenant with
respect to leasing space in any such other building without providing Owner with
a reasonable prior opportunity to make a competing proposal to the tenant with
respect to keeping the tenant in the Property, whether or not the tenant becomes
a tenant of such other building, except in the case where Property Manager or an
Affiliate of Property manager has a written tenant representation letter from
the tenant;
24
10.2.3 COMMINGLE. If Property Manager commingles any
Property-related funds with any other funds of Property Manager, or uses any
Property assets for purposes unrelated to Property operations;
10.2.4 BREACH. If Property Manager, in Owner's sole
and absolute discretion, breaches its duty to Owner to operate and manage the
Property in a manner consistent with Owner's standards for operating a
first-class retail property, and such failure continues for 30 days after
written notice thereof has been given by Owner to Property Manager;
10.2.5 FAILURE TO MAINTAIN. If Property Manager,
subject to fire, earthquake, acts of God and other events beyond the control of
Property Manager (which shall not include financial inability), and subject to
the performance by tenants of their obligations under their leases, fails to
maintain the operating assets of the Property in good working order or repair
and to keep the Property properly clean and free of debris, snow and ice, and
such failure continues for 30 days after written notice thereof has been given
by Owner to Property Manager;
10.2.6 SUSPENSION. If Property Manager suspends or
discontinues business;
10.2.7 INVOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY. If a court enters a
decree or order for relief in respect of Property Manager in an involuntary case
under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or
appoints a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or

Manager's affairs, and such decree or order continues unstayed and in effect for
a period of 60 consecutive days;
10.2.8 VOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY. If Property Manager
commences a voluntary case or action under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now
or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or taking
possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator
or other similar official of Property Manager or for any substantial part of
Property Manager's property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or
takes any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing;
10.2.9 FAILURE TO PERFORM WITHIN CURE PERIOD. If
Property Manager fails to observe or perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement, and such failure continues for 30 days after written notice thereof
has been given by Owner to Property Manager; or
10.2.10 FRAUD. If any fraud is perpetrated by
Property Manager, or if any representation or warranty of Property Manager made
in this Agreement or in any proposal, application, financial statement or other
writing delivered by Property Manager at any time pursuant to this Agreement
proves to have been incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect
when made
25
10.3 TERMINATION BY PROPERTY MANAGER.
10.3.1 WITHOUT CAUSE. This Agreement may be
terminated by Property Manager without cause at any time on ___ days' prior
written notice to Owner; subject to Owner's right, in its sole and absolute
discretion, to unilaterally modify the termination date set forth in Property
Manager's notice if Owner locates a replacement Property Manager for the
Property prior to the end of such ___-day period.
10.3.2 FOR CAUSE. Property Manager may terminate this
Agreement upon the occurrence of a default by Owner hereunder; provided,
however, in the event of such default, Property Manager first shall notify Owner
in writing of the exact nature of the default and Property Manager's intention
to terminate this Agreement as a result of the default. Owner shall have 30 days
from receipt of such notice to cure the default, provided Owner commences to

existing and prospective tenants of the Property, and (b) cooperate with Owner,
BPOP and any replacement Property Manager designated by Owner to effect an
orderly transition of the management and operation of the Property to Property
Manager's replacement. The obligations set forth in this Section 10.5 shall
survive termination of this Agreement.
10.6 RIGHTS WHICH SURVIVE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION. The
termination of this Agreement shall in no event terminate or prejudice (a) any
right arising out of or accruing in connection with the terms of this Agreement
attributable to events and circumstances occurring prior to termination, or (b)
any rights or obligations specified in this Agreement to survive termination.
10.7 DAMAGES. If it is determined by an arbitrator or court of

this Agreement or any Applicable Law, Property Manager shall be entitled, as its
sole and exclusive remedy for such termination, to recover only the amount of
its Direct Damages. For purposes of this Section 10.7, "Direct Damages" shall
mean all net profits Property Manager would have earned under this Agreement
from the date of such termination until the date Owner could have validly
terminated this Agreement. Owner and Property Manager expressly agree that
Direct Damages shall not include any punitive or consequential damages,
including, for example and not by way of limitation, any damages or losses

principles of such State.

enforcement of any claims against Owner arising hereunder.
11.10 ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of any arbitration or
other legal or equitable proceeding for enforcement of any of the terms or
conditions of this Agreement, or any alleged disputes, breaches, defaults or
misrepresentations in connection with any provision of this Agreement, the
prevailing party in such proceeding, or the nondismissing party where the
dismissal occurs other than by reason of a settlement, shall be entitled to
recover its reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation,

strict performance of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to
exercise any option, right or remedy herein contained shall not be construed as

28
terms, provisions, options, rights or remedies and the same shall continue and
remain in full force and effect.

and building directories at the Property. Any signs must meet all requirements

party is determined to have unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned its
consent in violation of this Agreement or any Applicable Law, the other party
shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to recover only the amount
of its actual direct damages, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs,
