WHEREAS, the Company is retaining the Property Manager to manage and coordinate the day-to-day operations of the Properties acquired by the Owner, and the Property Manager desires to be so retained, all under the terms and conditions set forth in this Property Management Agreement.

The services of the Property Manager are to be of a scope and quality not less than those generally performed by first class, professional managers of properties similar in type and quality to the Properties and located in the same market area as the Properties. The Property Manager will at all times act in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner and in a fiduciary capacity with respect to the proper protection of and accounting for each Owner Subsidiary’s assets; it being understood, that, the Property Manager’s fiduciary relationship with each Owner Subsidiary is limited solely to the proper protection of and accounting for the Owner Subsidiary’s assets and the Property Manager owes no other fiduciary duties to the Owner or security holders of any Owner entity.

A. Collection of Moneys; Enforcement of Rights. The Property Manager will use diligent, commercially reasonable efforts to collect all rent and other payments due from tenants in the Properties and any other sums due the Owner Subsidiaries regarding the Properties. To the extent tenant leases affecting any Property so require, the Property Manager shall timely make or verify any calculations that are required to determine the amount of rent due from tenants, including without limitation calculating percentage rent, operating expense “pass-throughs” and consumer price index adjustments and, where required, shall give timely notice thereof to tenants.

If authorized by the Company, the Property Manager shall consult an attorney for the purpose of enforcing an Owner Subsidiary’s rights or taking any such actions and the Company shall have the right to designate counsel for any matter and to control all litigation affecting or arising out of the operation of any Property. The Property Manager shall keep the Company informed of any dissatisfaction with the law firm or such services or the reasonableness of the cost thereof.

B. Property Documents. The Property Manager will pay all sums out of the applicable Operating Account from time to time due from each Owner Subsidiary and otherwise comply with the obligations of each Owner Subsidiary under any mortgages, deed of trust, leases, easements, restrictions, service contracts and other agreements now or hereafter affecting the Properties as instructed by the Company (the “Property Documents”).

C. Maintenance.

Subject to the applicable Budget or the Company’s constraints, the Property Manager shall obtain all necessary receipts, releases, waivers, discharges and assurances necessary to keep each Property free of any mechanics’, laborers’, materials suppliers’ or vendors’ liens in connection with work, materials or supplies for which the Property Manager contracts. All such documentation shall be in such form as reasonably specified and required by the Company.

All such service contracts shall be entered into by the Property Manager for the account of and in the name of the applicable Owner Subsidiary and shall be terminable on thirty (30) days’ notice or less, unless otherwise approved by the Company. The funds necessary to pay for such services shall be paid from the applicable Operating Account. All utilities contracts shall be in the name of the applicable Owner Subsidiary, with all notices to be addressed to the Company, with a copy to the Property Manager, at the Property Manager’s address.

E. Taxes. Promptly following receipt, the Property Manager shall send to the Company all notices concerning the Properties regarding taxes or valuations. The Owner shall pay all such taxes unless the Owner requests the Property Manager to pay such taxes, in which case the Property Manager shall pay such taxes from the applicable Operating Account. Upon the Company’s written request, the Property Manager in conjunction with an outside third party named by the Company, shall protest and attempt to reduce the property taxes or adjust the valuation for any Property through administrative appeal for a fee to be negotiated.

All insurance policies maintained by the Owner with respect to the Properties shall be issued through insurers with an A.M. Best rating of A or better and shall include waiver of subrogation provisions in favor of the Owner.

Thereafter, unless otherwise directed by the Company, Independent Insurance Advisors will timely process all casualty insurance claims on behalf of the applicable Owner Subsidiary, obtain the necessary documentation therefor and the Property Manager will prepare any and all reports required by Independent Insurance Advisors or any insurance company in connection therewith. All such reports shall be timely filed with the insurance company as required under the terms of the insurance policy involved. The Property Manager is authorized to settle any and all claims against insurance companies arising out of any policies, including the execution of proofs of loss, the adjustment of losses, signing of receipts and the collection of money.

Expenses incurred in so complying and in correcting any such violation shall be included in the Budget or otherwise approved in advance by the Company. The Property Manager agrees to perform all obligations of each Owner Subsidiary and pay all costs, expenses and other amounts (including, without limitation, any liquidated damages) which each Owner Subsidiary or the Property Manager may be required to pay in accordance with, and to comply and cause a Property to comply in all respects with all of the terms and conditions of, any reciprocal easement agreement, any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other security instruments affecting such Property of which the Property Manager has actual knowledge, or any other agreement or document of record now affecting such Property or hereafter executed or filed with the Company’s written consent (each, herein referred to as a “Matter of Record,” and collectively as the “Matters of Record “) during the term of this Property Management Agreement.

The Property Manager will operate and maintain the Properties according to the highest standards achievable consistent with the Company’s authorization. The Property Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to secure compliance by tenants with their respective leases.

3.5. Cash Management.

A. Clearing Account. The Property Manager shall cause all gross revenue in respect of each Property to be transmitted directly into an individual clearing account (each a “Clearing Account”) controlled by the applicable Owner Subsidiary, established with a financial institution to be determined by the Property Manager (the “Clearing Bank”), except to the extent the payments in respect of a Property are required by a lender to be made into a lockbox account, in which case payments will be deposited in the Clearing Account for such Property after release from such lockbox account. Without in any way limiting the foregoing if the Property Manager receives any gross revenue from a Property, then (i) such amounts shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of the Property Manager, and (ii) the Property Manager shall deposit such amounts in the Clearing Account for such Property within one (1) business day of receipt.

B. Order of Priority of Funds in Clearing Account. On the 10th day of each month, all funds deposited into each Clearing Account shall be applied on such date in the following order of priority: (i) first, if applicable, to make the required payments of debt service, including late payment charges, if any, for such Property; and (ii) second, any remaining funds in such Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank into the Operating Account (as hereinafter defined) for such Property and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Property Management Agreement.

C. Operating Account. All monies swept from each Clearing Account by the Clearing Bank shall be deposited in a separate depository account for each Property in the applicable Owner Subsidiary’s name (each an “Operating Account”). Each Operating Account shall be opened by the Property Manager, upon receipt of a fully-executed Owner Subsidiary Property Management Agreement between the Property Manager and the applicable Owner Subsidiary and a W9 completed by such Owner Subsidiary, at U.S. Bank, N.A. or another bank to be determined by the Property Manager. The signature card for each Operating Account shall indicate that the Property Manager is dealing with the Operating Account as a fiduciary of the applicable Owner Subsidiary. Each Operating Account and all funds therein shall at all times be the property of the applicable Owner Subsidiary. Each Owner Subsidiary shall have electronic banking system access to its Operating Account, which shall permit it to obtain account information and make withdrawals from such Operating Account.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may direct payments or deposits received by the Property Manager to an operating account relating to any Property to be controlled by the Owner Subsidiary and direct payments to be made into the Operating Account. In such event, the Property Manager shall provide the Owner Subsidiary with all information necessary to make payments of expenses with respect to such Property.

The Property Manager shall remit to each Owner Subsidiary monthly, on or before the 20th day of each month, excess cash as of the end of the preceding month, held in the Operating Account and not applied to the payment of (i) the applicable Owner Subsidiary’s expenses as herein provided, (ii) expenses permitted by Section 5.1 hereof, and (iii) amounts payable to the Property Manager in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof, less applicable reserves for real estate taxes, debt service, capital improvements or operating expenses and Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) as reserve for working capital and other contingencies, and any additional amount as the Company may authorize for such purposes. The remittance of funds to an Owner Subsidiary shall be compatible with the financial reports provided by the Property Manager pursuant to Section 4.2.

If an Owner Subsidiary should make any request for a distribution other than the standard monthly distribution to such Owner Subsidiary on or before the 20th day of each month as noted immediately above, such request by the Owner Subsidiary must be directed to the Property Manager in writing with a minimum of two (2) full working days’ advance notice. Except to the extent it would cause there to be insufficient funds to pay amounts due to the Property Manager under Section 5.1 and Section 5.3 hereof, every attempt will be made to process the additional distribution request through the Property Manager’s accounting department in a timely manner, but the Property Manager will not process any distribution based on a telephone call or be expected to accomplish such distribution with less than two (2) full working days’ advance written notice.

Other than the monthly distribution noted above, if required by state law, the Property Manager will deposit security deposits and/or advance rentals in separate accounts in the name of the applicable Owner Subsidiary at said financial institution. All monies held in Operating Accounts shall in no event be commingled with the Property Manager’s own funds or with funds held by the Property Manager for the account of other parties. The Property Manager shall have no proprietary interest in the Operating Accounts, or in any other account authorized hereby, and all sums collected by the Property Manager relating to each of the Properties and all sums placed in such account or accounts by the applicable Owner Subsidiary or the Company will be the property of such Owner Subsidiary and held in trust by the Property Manager for such Owner Subsidiary. The Property Manager agrees to pay all invoices directly from the Operating Account unless directed otherwise by the applicable Owner Subsidiary or the Company. The Property Manager may draw on each Operating Account only to pay (i) operating expenses permitted by Section 5.1 hereof, (ii) amounts payable to the applicable Owner Subsidiary, (iii) amounts payable to the Property Manager under Section 5.3 hereof, and (iv) a specified amount to a payee which the applicable Owner Subsidiary may from time to time expressly authorize in writing.

Each of the Management Fee, the Transition Fee, the Construction Fee and the Oversight Fee shall be paid to the Property Manager in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof. In accordance with and pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, the Property Manager shall prepare and submit an invoice to the Company which shall include a computation of the fees paid to the Property Manager in accordance with Section 5.3 and any expenses to be reimbursed to the Property Manager in accordance with Sections 5.1 and 5.2. The Company shall have the right to review such invoice and obtain any supporting documentation with respect thereto from the Property Manager. To the extent that the Company believes the computation provided by the Property Manager is inconsistent with the computation permitted hereunder, the Company and the Property Manager shall work together in good faith to reach a computation of such fees which is reasonably agreeable to both parties. If the Company and the Property Manager agree that one or more of the fees paid to the Property Manager for a prior period exceeded the amount permitted hereunder, the Property Manager shall deduct the amount of such excess from the fees it is to be paid in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof for the current calendar month.

3.6. Indemnification. The Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold the Property Manager and any Sub-Manager directly or indirectly engaged by the Property Manager in accordance with Section 2.1 of this Property Management Agreement harmless from and against all claims, damages and costs (including counsel fees) arising out of or in connection with the management of the Properties and the operation thereof, except for acts of the Property Manager or a Sub-Manager, as applicable, taken outside of the scope of this Property Management Agreement or an agreement with the Sub-Manager, as applicable, and the Property Manager’s, or a Sub-Manager’s, as applicable, engagement in acts of negligence, misconduct or fraud. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, the Property Manager shall be held strictly accountable for all receipts and disbursements; and the Property Manager shall indemnify and hold the Owner harmless from and against all claims, damages and costs (including counsel fees) arising out of or in connection with the management of the Properties and the operation thereof to the extent such claims arise out of or result from acts of the Property Manager taken outside of the scope of this Property Management Agreement or the Property Manager’s engagement in acts of negligence, misconduct or fraud. The Property Manager shall indemnify the Company and its Affiliates from any claims, damages and costs (including counsel fees) arising out of or in connection with the acts of the Property Manager taken in connection with the management of the Properties and the operation thereof or the Property Manager’s engagement in acts of negligence, misconduct or fraud. The indemnities herein contained shall not apply to any claim with respect to which and to the extent the indemnified party is covered by insurance; provided, that the foregoing exclusion does not invalidate the indemnified party’s insurance coverage. Each party will procure a waiver of subrogation with respect to claims against the other party under policies in which the other party is not a named insured, and shall promptly notice the other party in the event that any such waiver is unobtainable or is obtainable only upon payment of an additional premium. If such waiver is obtainable only upon payment of an additional premium, the other party shall have the right at its option to pay such additional premium.

3.7. Complaints and Notices. The Property Manager shall promptly handle complaints and requests from tenants, concessionaires and licensees. The Property Manager shall notify the Company promptly of: (A) any notice received by the Property Manager or known to the Property Manager of violation of any governmental requirements (and make recommendations regarding compliance therewith); (B) any notice received by the Property Manager or known to the Property Manager of violation of covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting any Property or noncompliance with loan documents affecting any Property, if any; (C) any fire, accident or other casualty or damage to any Property; (D) any condemnation proceedings, rezoning or other governmental order, lawsuit or threat thereof involving any Property known to the Property Manager; (E) any violations relative to the leasing, use, repair and maintenance of any Property under governmental laws, rules, regulations, ordinances or like provisions known to the Property Manager; or (F) any violation of any insurance requirement of which the Property Manager has actual knowledge. The Property Manager shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any documentation in its possession relating to such matters. The Property Manager shall keep the Company reasonably informed of the status of the particular matter through the final resolution thereof. In the event the Property Manager becomes aware of any fire or other damage to any Property or violation or alleged violation of laws respecting hazardous materials, the Property Manager shall immediately give telephonic notice thereof to the Company. The Property Manager shall complete all necessary and customary loss reports in connection with any fire or other damage to any Property. The Property Manager shall retain in the records it maintains for each Property copies of all supporting documentation with reference to such notices.

3.8. Tenant Insurance Certificates. The Property Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from all tenants certificates of insurance and renewals thereof required to be furnished by the terms of their leases. The Property Manager shall forward copies of the certificates to the Company if requested by the Company. The Property Manager shall establish systems and procedures to enforce lease requirements with regard to insurance certificates.

3.9. Licenses and Authorizations.

A. The Property Manager shall obtain and keep in full force and effect all licenses, permits, consents and authorizations as may be necessary for the maintenance, operation, management, repair, servicing or occupancy of each Property. All of such licenses, permits, consents and authorizations shall be in the name of the applicable Owner Subsidiary, if required in writing by the Company.

B.

4.1. Records. The Property Manager shall establish and maintain a comprehensive system of office records, books and accounts, as well as an accounting and management reporting system that will duly account for all transactions relating to the Properties in a format consistent with the Company’s accounting system. The Company and others designated by the Company shall, with prior notice to the Property Manager, have access to such records, books and accounts and to all vouchers, files and all other material pertaining to the Properties and this Property Management Agreement, all of which the Property Manager agrees to keep safe, available and separate from any records not having to do with the Properties. All of such books, records and other information concerning such Property shall be the property of the applicable Owner Subsidiary; and within sixty (60) days following termination of this Property Management Agreement, the Property Manager shall deliver the original copies to the Company or its designate. The Property Manager or its representatives shall have the right to inspect such books, records and other information and to make copies thereof during a two-year period following the termination of this Property Management Agreement unless the Company requests and receives all such books and records upon termination of this Property Management Agreement.

4.2. Reports and Supporting Documentation. The Property Manager shall, during the term of this Property Management Agreement, deliver monthly reports to the Company relating to the management and operation of the Properties for the preceding calendar month, not later than thirty (30) days after the end of the preceding month.

The Property Manager shall deliver to the Company the following for the preceding month, for each Property and with respect to clause (1), (2) and (8), shall also provide the information with respect to the Properties in the aggregate:

4.3. Budgets. The Property Manager shall prepare and submit to the Company a proposed operating and capital budget, including an itemized statement of the estimated receipts and disbursements in reasonable detail, which shall include, without limitation, reasonable detail as to employee expenses to be reimbursed to the Property Manager for the operation, repair and maintenance of each of the Properties (each a “Budget”), in each case for the calendar year immediately following such submission. Each Budget will be in the form approved by the Company prior to the date thereof. Thereafter, on or before the date specified each year by the Company (but not later than November 1st), the Property Manager shall prepare and submit to the Company preliminary Budgets for the next calendar year followed by final Budgets for the next calendar year, incorporating any reasonable changes requested by the Company. Such Budgets shall: (A) be prepared in accordance with the Company’s accounting system, (B) be prepared on a cash or modified cash basis, as directed by the Company, and (C) show a month by month projection of income, expenses, capital expenditures, reserves, and other non-recurring items. In connection with any acquisition of a Property by the Owner, the Property Manager will prepare a Budget for such Property for the remainder of the calendar year.

The Company will approve or disapprove each Budget within a reasonable time after the receipt of same, but not later than thirty (30) days after the submission thereof to the Company. The Property Manager will make any reasonable changes to each Budget that are requested by the Company. At such time as the Company shall request, which in no event shall exceed three (3) requests per calendar year, the Property Manager shall submit to the Company for its approval an updated Budget incorporating such changes as shall be necessary to reflect cost over-runs and the like or other changes occurring subsequent to the prior Budget during such period. If the Company does not disapprove of such revised Budget within 30 days after receipt thereof by the Company, such Budget shall be deemed approved. If the Company shall disapprove of any such Budget, the Property Manager shall submit a revised Budget, as applicable, within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of disapproval, and the Company shall have ten (10) days to provide notice to the Property Manager if it disapproves of any such further revised Budget.

The Property Manager shall implement each Budget and use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the actual cost of operating each Property shall not exceed the applicable Budget. The Budgets shall constitute an authorization for the Property Manager to expend necessary monies to manage and operate the Properties in accordance with the respective Budgets and subject to the provisions of this Property Management Agreement until subsequent Budgets are approved. The approval of non-recurring costs and capital improvements in a Budget shall constitute an authorization for the Property Manager to collect bids for the expenditure and present a final recommendation to the Company for expenditure of monies to implement such items called for in such Budget.

The Property Manager shall provide supporting information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with their review of any Budget submitted by the Property Manager for its review.

Without affecting any other limitation imposed by this Property Management Agreement and except as may be expressly provided to the contrary elsewhere in this Property Management Agreement, the Property Manager shall secure the prior written approval of the Company prior to incurring any liability or obligation for any item in excess of $10,000 that is not reflected on the applicable Budget approved in writing by the Company.

4.4. Audit. At its option, the Company may at any time upon five (5) business days’ advance written notice to the Property Manager, cause the books and financial operations of any Property to be audited by an auditor to be selected by the Company including the internal auditing staff of the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Property Manager agrees to cooperate with such auditor and to make any of its facilities located at such Property or the Property Manager’s office available to such auditor. Any adjustments in amounts due and owing by either the Company or the Property Manager shall be paid promptly but no later than fifteen (15) days following receipt of the audit. The audit shall be at the Owner’s expense.

5.2. Expenditure Authorization.

A. Utilities. The Property Manager shall pay from the applicable Operating Account the actual amount incurred for utilities each month for each Property without the Company’s further consent or signature on such check or withdrawal, notwithstanding that a lesser amount therefor may have been projected or allocated in the Budget for such Property approved by the Company.

B. Expenses per Budget. With respect to each Property, to the extent set forth in the most recent Budget for such Property approved by the Company, and if requested by the Company, the Property Manager will make all payments for debt service on mortgages secured by such Property, for taxes and/or for the applicable Owner Subsidiary’s insurance. In addition, with respect to each Property, to the extent set forth in the most recent Budget for such Property approved by the Company and without further consent of the Company, the Property Manager shall pay each and every expense properly incurred in the ordinary course of managing the Properties during the calendar year covered by the Budget; provided, that, if such expenses exceed the Budget for such Property approved by the Company by more than ten percent (10%) during the calendar year covered by the Budget (each, an “Overrun”), the Company may elect to terminate this Property Management Agreement solely with respect to such Property, it being understood, that, such termination shall constitute the Company’s sole remedy with respect to such Overrun and such Overrun shall not be deemed a breach of this Property Management Agreement, but such termination shall not prevent liability for any other breach by the Property Manager under this Property Management Agreement; and provided further, that, the Company shall not be permitted to so terminate this Property Management Agreement if such Budget excess (i) was due to amounts incurred for insurance, taxes and/or utilities, and/or (ii) was caused by or resulted from the following acts: (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire or explosion; (c) acts of terror, war, invasion, riot or other civil unrest; (d) government order or law that becomes effective after the approval of the Budget and was not known to the Property Manager prior to the approval of the Budget; (e) actions, embargoes or blockades in effect after the approval of the Budget; (f) action by any governmental authority that occurs after the approval of the Budget and was not known to the Property Manager prior to the approval of the Budget; and (g) national or regional emergency (each of (a) through (g), a “Force Majeure Event”). If the Property Manager suffers a Force Majeure Event, it shall give notice to the Company, stating the anticipated period of time the event is expected to continue and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized.

C. Emergencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if emergency action is necessary to prevent damage to any Property or danger to persons, the Property Manager may incur such expenses as are reasonably necessary without the prior written approval of the Company to protect such Property or persons. The Property Manager will give prompt telephone and written notice to the Company of any such emergency repairs for which prior approval is not required.

5.3. Compensation for Management Services.

A. Management Fee. On or before the last business day of each month, the Property Manager shall pay itself from the respective Operating Accounts as compensation for its management services hereunder in an amount (the “Management Fee”) equal to four percent (4%) of the “Gross Rental Receipts” for such month (as hereinafter defined), other than in respect of stand-alone, single-tenant net leased properties which are not part of a shopping center, and two percent (2%) of “Gross Rental Receipts” for such month in respect of any stand-alone, single-tenant net leased properties that are not part of a shopping center. For the avoidance of doubt, a separately platted, single-tenant, net leased building that is part of a shopping center shall be a Property subject to the four percent (4%) of the “Gross Rental Receipts” calculation. The term “Gross Rental Receipts” as used herein is defined as all receipts of every kind and nature actually collected from the operation of the Property, determined on a cash basis, including without limitation, all fixed rents (including parking rents not excluded below), common area maintenance reimbursements, tax and insurance reimbursements, percentage rental payments, utility reimbursements, late fees, vending machine collections, service charges, rental interruption insurance, and a fifteen percent (15%) administrative charge for common area expenses (if such an allowable expense is collected from tenants pursuant to tenant leases), and all other forms of miscellaneous income actually collected in cash by the Owner Subsidiaries or by the Property Manager from tenants of the Properties, net forfeited security deposits, but excluding (i) any income from investment of cash including the interest on the Operating Account, (ii) security deposits, and any portion of forfeited security deposits allocable to compensation for loss or damage, (iii) payments for physical installations or finish-out work, (iv) payments in the nature of indemnification or compensation for loss, damage or liability sustained, including but not limited to insurance proceeds and condemnation awards, (v) all purchase discounts, rental and ad valorem tax refunds or rebates, (vi) any repair or other such expense reimbursement from individual tenants, (vii) any sums which, under normal accounting practice, are attributable to capital, (viii) executive suite expenses, if any, (e.g. personnel, equipment, etc.) paid by tenants and (ix) such other additional income the Company and the Property Manager mutually agree to eliminate.

B. Transition Fee. For duties performed by the Property Manager in reviewing and abstracting an Owner Subsidiary’s leases and contracts, preparing ledgers, creating a database of such Owner Subsidiary’s tenants and vendors, establishing Property bank account(s), and similar necessary, preliminary functions, the Property Manager shall pay itself from the applicable Operating Account a one-time fee (the “Transition Fee”) in the amount shown on Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The Transition Fee shall be paid within thirty (30) days after execution of an Investment Property Management Agreement with respect to a particular Property by all parties thereto or within thirty (30) days after receipt of all leases and other documents necessary to perform a full set up of any Property, whichever is later. The Transition Fee shall be based on the number of tenants with active leases in such Property, including those tenants whose lease term and/or rental have not yet commenced, but who have executed leases with the applicable Owner Subsidiary, as of the Commencement Date of the applicable Investment Property Management Agreement.

C. Construction Fee. For duties performed by the Property Manager pursuant to Section 3.2(H) hereof, the Property Manager shall pay itself from the applicable Operating Account a fee ( a “Construction Fee”) equal to six percent (6%) of the construction hard costs.
