The Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts in performing its duties hereunder to manage, operate, maintain and lease the Property in a diligent, careful and vigilant manner. The services of the Manager are to be of scope and quality not less than those generally performed by professional property managers of other similar properties in the area. The Manager shall make available to the Owner the full benefit of the judgment, experience and advice of its members and staff with respect to the policies to be pursued by the Owner relating to the operation and leasing of the Property.
2.3Specific Duties. The Manager’s duties include the following:
(a)Lease Obligations. The Manager shall perform all duties of the landlord under all leases insofar as such duties relate to the operation, maintenance, and day-to-day management of the Property. The Manager shall also provide or cause to be provided, at the Owner’s expense, all services normally provided to tenants of like premises, including, where applicable and without limitation, gas, electricity or other utilities required to be furnished to tenants under leases, normal repairs and maintenance, and cleaning and janitorial service. The Manager shall arrange for and supervise the performance of all installations and improvements in space leased to any tenant which are either expressly required under the terms of the lease of such space or which are customarily provided to tenants.
(b)Maintenance. The Manager shall cause the Property to be maintained in the same manner as similar properties in the area. The Manager’s duties and supervision in this respect shall include, without limitation, cleaning of the interior and the exterior of the Improvements and the public common areas on the Property and the making and supervision of repair, alterations, and decoration of the Improvements, subject to and in strict compliance with this Management Agreement and any applicable leases. Construction and rehabilitation activities undertaken by the Manager, if any, will be limited to activities related to the management, operation, maintenance, and leasing of the Property (e.g., repairs, renovations, and leasehold improvements).
(c)Leasing Functions. The Manager shall coordinate the leasing of the Property and shall negotiate and use its best efforts to secure executed leases from qualified tenants, and to execute same on behalf of the Owner, if requested, for available space in the Property, such leases to be in form and on terms approved by the Owner and the Manager, and to bring about complete leasing of the Property. The Manager shall be responsible for the hiring of all leasing agents, as necessary for the leasing of the Property, and to otherwise oversee and manage the leasing process on behalf of the Owner.
(d)Notice of Violations. The Manager shall forward to the Owner, promptly upon receipt, all notices of violation or other notices from any governmental authority, and board of fire underwriters or any insurance company, and shall make such recommendations regarding compliance with such notice as shall be appropriate.

All bills shall be paid by the Manager within the time required to obtain discounts, if any.

The payment of all bills, real property taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and any other amounts payable with respect to the Property shall be paid out of the Account by the Manager. All expenses shall be billed at net cost (i.e., less all rebates, commissions, discounts and allowances, however designed).
(h)Monies Collected. The Manager shall collect all rent and other monies from tenants and any sums otherwise due to the Owner with respect to the Property in the ordinary course of business. In collecting such monies, the Manager shall inform tenants of the Property that all remittances are to be in the form of a check or money order. The Owner authorizes the Manager to request, demand, collect and provide receipts for all such rent and other monies and to institute legal proceedings in the name of the Owner for the collection thereof and for the dispossession of any tenant in default under its lease.
(i)Banking Accommodations. Subject in all cases to any requirements imposed by any financing arrangements placed on the Property at any time and from time to time by Owner, the Manager shall establish and maintain a separate checking account (the “Account”) for funds relating to the Property. All monies deposited from time to time in the Account shall be deemed to be trust funds and shall be and remain the property of the Owner and shall be withdrawn and disbursed by the Manager for the account of the Owner only as expressly permitted by this Management Agreement for the purposes of performing the obligations of the Manager hereunder. No monies collected by the Manager on the Owner’s behalf shall be commingled with funds of the Manager.

In the event that the Manager does so subcontract any its duties hereunder, such fees payable to such third parties may, at the instruction of the Manager, be deducted from the Management Fee and paid by the Owner to such parties, or paid directly by the Manager to such parties, in its discretion.
ARTICLE III. EXPENSES

Except as otherwise specifically provided, all costs and expenses incurred hereunder by the Manager in fulfilling its duties to the Owner shall be for the account of and on behalf of the Owner.

All costs and expenses for which the Owner is responsible under this Management Agreement shall be paid by the Manager out of the Account. In the event the Account does not contain sufficient funds to pay all of the costs and expenses, the Owner shall fund all sums necessary to meet such additional costs and expenses.

ARTICLE IV. MANAGER’S COMPENSATION
4.1Management Fees.

(ii) with respect to all other types of properties, two and a half percent (2.5%) of Gross Revenues from the properties managed, plus market-based leasing commissions applicable to the geographic location of the Property.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager may be entitled to receive higher fees in the event the Manager can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the board of directors of the Company (including a majority of the Independent Directors) through empirical data that a higher competitive fee is justified for the services rendered and the type of Property managed. As described in Section 2.6 above, in the event that the Manager properly engages one or more third parties to perform the services described herein, the fees payable to such parties for such services will be deducted from the Management Fees, or paid directly by the Manager, at the Manager’s option.

In no event shall the Manager (including any Affiliate of the Manager) be entitled to both Management Fees and Oversight Fees with respect to any particular Property.
4.3Additional Fees. If the Manager provides services other than those specified herein, the Owner shall pay to the Manager a monthly fee equal to no more than that which the Owner would pay to a third party that is not an Affiliate of the Owner or the Manager to provide such services.
4.4Audit Adjustment. If any audit of the records, books or accounts relating to the Property discloses an overpayment or underpayment of Management Fees, the Owner or the Manager shall promptly pay to the other party the amount of such overpayment or underpayment, as the case may be. If such audit discloses an overpayment of Management Fees for any fiscal year of more than the correct Management Fees for such fiscal year, the Manager shall bear the cost of such audit.
