disbursed by Manager for the account of Owner only as expressly permitted by
this Management Agreement for the purposes of performing the obligations of
Manager hereunder. No monies collected by Manager on Owner's behalf shall be

acquisition of a Property by Owner, Manager shall prepare a budget and marketing
and leasing plan for the remainder of the calendar year. The budget and
marketing and leasing plan shall be in the form of the budget and plan approved
by Owner prior to the date thereof. As often as reasonably necessary during the
period covered by any such budget, Manager may submit to Owner for its approval

submit a revised budget or plan, as applicable, within 10 (ten) days of receipt
of the notice of disapproval, and Owner shall have 10 (ten) days to provide
notice to Manager if it disapproves of any such revised budget or plan. Manager

regulation of any governmental body or of any public authority or official
thereof having or claiming to have jurisdiction thereover. Manager shall
promptly forward to Owner any complaints, warnings, notices or summonses
received by it relating to such matters. Owner represents that to the best of
its knowledge each of its Properties and any equipment thereon will upon
acquisition by Owner comply with all such requirements. Owner authorizes Manager
to disclose the ownership of the Property by Owner to any such officials. Owner

receive the prior written authorization of Owner of the Property of any one or
more purchases or other expenditures, notwithstanding that Manager may otherwise
be authorized hereunder to make such purchases or expenditures.
3.3 Rent and Other Collections. Owner agrees and does hereby give Manager the

as Owner's authorized agent, and Owner shall assume all expenses in connection
with such matters) to pay all expenses of the Property from the Gross Revenue
collected in accordance with Section 3.3 above, from the Account. It is
understood that the Gross Revenue will be used first to pay the compensation to
Manager as contained in Article 5 below, then operational expenses and then any
mortgage indebtedness, including real estate tax and insurance impounds, but
only as directed by Owner in writing and only if sufficient Gross Revenue is
available for such payments. Nothing in this Management Agreement shall be
interpreted in such a manner as to obligate Manager to pay from Gross Revenue,
any expenses incurred by Owner prior to the commencement of this Management
Agreement, except to the extent Owner advances additional funds to pay such
expenses.
3.5 Certain Owner Indemnification Obligations.
(a) On Termination. In the event this Management Agreement is
terminated for any reason prior to the expiration of its original term or any

awards, liens, fines, costs, attorney's fees and expenses, of every kind and

jurisdiction) of Owner.

indemnification shall not extend to any such Losses arising out of the willful
misconduct, gross negligence and/or unlawful acts (such unlawfulness having been
adjudicated by a court of proper jurisdiction) of Manager or any of the other
Indemnified Parties. Manager shall not be liable for any error of judgment or
for any mistake of fact or law, or for any thing that it may do or refrain from
doing, except in cases of willful misconduct, gross negligence and/or unlawful
acts (such unlawfulness having been adjudicated by a court of proper
jurisdiction).
3.6 Environmental Matters. Owner hereby warrants and represents to Manager that
to the best of Owner's knowledge, no Property, upon acquisition by Owner, nor
any part thereof, will be used to treat, deposit, store, dispose of or place any
hazardous substance that may subject Manager to liability or claims under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42
U.S.C.A. Section 9607) or any constitutional provision, statute, ordinance, law,
or regulation of any governmental body or of any order or ruling of any public
authority or official thereof, having or claiming to have jurisdiction
thereover. Furthermore, Owner agrees to indemnify, protect, defend, save and
hold Manager and all of the other Indemnified Parties from any and all Losses
involving, concerning or in any way related to any past, current or future
allegations regarding treatment, depositing, storage, disposal or placement by
any party other than Manager of hazardous substances on the Property.
3.7 Legal Status of Properties. Owner represents that to the best of its
knowledge each Property and any equipment thereon, when acquired by Owner, will
comply with all legal requirements and authorizes Manager to disclose the
identity of the Owner of the Property to any such officials and agrees to
indemnify, protect, defend, save and hold Manager and the other Indemnified
Parties harmless of and from any and all Losses that may be imposed on them or
any of them by reason of the failure of Owner to correct any present or future
violation or alleged violation of any and all present or future laws,
ordinances, statutes, or regulations of any public authority or official
thereof, having or claiming to have jurisdiction thereover, of which it has
actual notice. In the event it is alleged or charged that any Improvement or any
equipment on a Property or any act or failure to act by Owner with respect to
the Property or the sale, rental, or other disposition thereof fails to comply
with, or is in violation of, any of the requirements of any constitutional
provision, statute, ordinance, law, or regulation of any governmental body or
any order or ruling of any public authority or official thereof having or
claiming to have jurisdiction thereover, and Manager, in its sole and absolute
discretion, considers that the action or position of Owner, with respect thereto
may result in damage or liability to Manager, Manager shall have the right to
cancel this Management Agreement at any time by written notice to Owner of its
election so to do, which cancellation shall be effective upon the service of
such notice. Such cancellation shall not release the indemnities of Owner set
forth in this Management Agreement and shall not terminate any liability or
obligation of Owner to Manager for any payment, reimbursement, or other sum of
money then due and payable to Manager hereunder.
3.8 Extraordinary Payments. Owner agrees to give adequate advance written notice
to Manager if Owner desires that Manager make any extraordinary payment, out of
Gross Revenue, to the extent funds are available after the payment of Manager's
compensation as provided for herein and all operational expenses, of mortgage
indebtedness, general taxes, special assessments, or fire, boiler or any other
insurance premiums.

Owner may acquire interests in Properties in which Owner does not control the
determination of the party that is engaged to provide property management and

the authority to acquire such non-controlling interests in Properties for which
a third party provides some or all of the services otherwise required to be
performed by Manager hereunder (a "Third Party Management Agreement"); provided
that Manager shall have no liability or responsibility to Owner for any of the
duties and obligations undertaken by such third party, and Owner agrees to
indemnify Manager for all Losses incurred by Manager as a result of the acts of
such third party pursuant to the Third Party Management Agreement. To the extent
that property management and other services are specifically required to be
performed by a third party pursuant to such Third Party Management Agreement,
Manager shall have no obligation to perform such services and Owner shall have

amounts payable with respect to such Properties to such Third Party Leasing
Agreement.

upon the strict performance of any covenant or condition of this Management
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver thereof for the future.

Property, Owner hereby assigns and transfers exclusively to the Manager all
right, title and interest, including without limitation all Intellectual
Property Rights, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or licenses in favor
