In no event will Manager execute any lease (or any renewal or extension thereof) on terms which (i) vary from the minimum leasing guidelines, or (ii) cause the Owner to violate the Minimum Set-Aside Test, the Rent Restriction Test or any other document executed in connection with the Tax Credits or the Project Loans.

The Manager acknowledges that obtaining the Tax Credits will have substantial economic value to the Owner and its partners.

The responsibilities and services included in this Article III are part of Manager's duties and shall not entitle Manager to any additional compensation over and above the Management Fee; provided, however, that the Manager shall be reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with any sale or refinancing of the Property.

COMPENSATION

Management Fee.

Amount of Management Fees. During the term of this Agreement, Manager shall be entitled to receive, as compensation for services performed by Manager pursuant to this Agreement during each operating month, an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Effective Gross Income for such operating month (the "Management Fee"), payable in arrears on the first day of each month. Manager shall be entitled to disburse and pay the Management Fee to itself from the Operating Account. Owner and Manager agree that the payment of Management Fees shall be computed and paid according to HUD requirements and in accordance with the Owner's Partnership Agreement. Manager shall submit to Owner an invoice detailing the calculation of the Management Fee each month, no later than the fifth day of the next succeeding month. If the first or last month of this Agreement is not a complete calendar month, the Management Fee for such month shall be calculated on the basis of Gross Operating Revenues for the entire month, and the amount payable for such month shall then be prorated based on the number of days during such month that this Agreement was in effect.

Definition of Effective Gross Income. As used herein, the term "Effective Gross Income" shall mean for any operating month, the aggregate amount of all rent actually paid under all of the leases for the Units or any part of the Property for such operating month. Effective Gross Income shall not include : (i) the value of rental concessions, (ii) any rent accruing during such operating month but not actually paid by a tenant during such operating month or not actually collected by Manager or otherwise on behalf of Owner during such operating, month; (iii) rent in the nature of any reimbursements for damage to the Property; (iv) any rental income taxes; or (v) any security, utility or other deposits. Effective Gross Income shall also include all ancillary income actually received from the Property including but not limited to cancellation fees, cable fees, telephone fees, laundry income, parking income, administrative fees, move-in fees, pet fees, late charges, transfer fees, interest income and any other amounts paid pursuant to or in connection with the leases that constitute or are considered in the ordinary course of business to be a payment of anything other than rent paid under residential apartment leases (including, without limitation, any proceeds received in connection with any hazard or casualty insurance policy or condemnation proceeding relating to the Property). Effective Gross Income shall also include corporate apartment income and application fees, net of related expenses for these items.

Additional Services. The parties recognize that certain services which could potentially be required by, or be of value to, Owner are outside of the scope of the services contemplated by this Agreement. If Owner requests Manager to provide such services the parties shall negotiate reasonable additional compensation based on the fees which would be charged by third parties performing comparable services. Examples of services outside the scope of this Agreement include (a) substantial construction management services for tenant construction, building retrofits or major capital improvements, (b) substantial assistance with due diligence efforts of a potential purchaser in connection with a sale of the Property, and (c) substantial assistance in connection with an audit of a ground lessor under a ground lease, (d) the negotiation of cable, phone and internet contracts with third-party providers, and (e) the negotiation of any leasing or licensing of rooftop space.

Reimbursements. In addition to the Management Fee provided for herein, Manager shall be entitled to monthly reimbursement in arrears for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in performing its duties and responsibilities and providing services required by the terms of this Agreement and the Approved Budget and subject to Section 3.4.4. Manager shall reimburse itself in accordance with Section 3.5.3. Such reimbursement shall include but are not limited to the following: (a) all personnel and related operating costs and expenses applicable to all Property Employees to the extent not already paid out of the Operating Account, specifically excluding the general overhead expenses of Manager's executive personnel; (b) advertising costs to include marketing brochures and similar collateral materials, incurred in connection with Manager's leasing of the Property; (c) administrative costs to include telephone, bank fees, computers/software, IT support, data processing, training, office equipment and supplies to the extent used for the Property; (d) costs for supplies used for maintenance of the Property; and (e) utilities. Said reimbursements shall also include the appropriate portion of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with any management office(s) maintained to provide services to the Property (or to provide services to the Property as well as other nearby properties managed by Manager or an affiliate thereof), such appropriate portion to be determined by prorating the cost thereof between the Property and such other properties using a method reasonably selected by Manager and subject to reasonable review and approval by Owner.

5.4.1 Notify Owner and the insurance carrier within twenty-four (24) hours after Manager receives notice of any such loss or injury;

Manager shall cause the Property to be in compliance with the terms of any insurance policies affecting the Property. Manager shall not use the Property, and shall make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the same is not used, for any purpose that would violate the terms of any such insurance policies or that might increase the premiums payable under any such insurance policies. Manager shall not keep, and shall make commercially reasonable efforts to prevent from being kept, at the Property any material, machinery, equipment, substance or other thing that would violate the terms of such insurance policies. Manager shall provide reasonable access to the Property to agents of any and all insurance companies who may, from time to time, be involved with the issuance of insurance policies for the Property or with inspections of the Property in connection with insurance policies then in force.

5.6 Mutual Waiver of Subrogation. Manager releases Owner and its authorized representatives and agents from any claims for damage or loss to any person or to the Property that is caused by or results from risks insured under any insurance policies carried by Owner and in force at the time any such damage occurs, to the extent that such release does not impair the insurance coverage then in effect. Owner releases Manager and its authorized representatives and agents from any claims for damage or loss to any person or to the Property that is caused by or results from risks insured under any insurance policies carried by Manager and in force at the time any such damage occurs, to the extent that such release does not impair the insurance coverage then in effect.

5.7 Manager's Insurance.

At a minimum, such insurance shall include the following, unless otherwise approved in writing by Owner:

Manager shall obtain and keep on file for Manager and for each such contractor a certificate of insurance evidencing the above requirements. Manager shall provide Owner with a copy of Manager's insurance certificate simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement. Manager's certificate of insurance shall have attached thereto an endorsement that Owner will be given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation of or any material change in Manager's insurance policies.
