All residential Leases and all commercial and retail Leases shall be prepared and negotiated using the applicable Form Lease except for variations (i) approved by the Company in its sole discretion or (ii) consistent with guidelines to be recommended by Manager and agreed upon by the Company and Manager in writing from time to time. Except for terms and conditions that are required by applicable law, all terms and conditions of all Leases that are not consistent with the approved Form Lease (subject to the variations described above), and all renewals and amendments thereof (excluding renewals of residential Leases at the 237 11th Property that are entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices), shall be approved in writing by the Company in its sole discretion; provided that, to the extent the applicable Lease or the amendment or renewal thereof is not subject to the prior written consent of a Third Party Lender, then the Company agrees that its consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

SECTION 2.3.2Manager’s Enforcement of and Compliance with Lease Terms.
(a)Unless advised by the Company to the contrary, Manager shall require compliance with the Leases on the part of the Tenants thereunder consistent with past practices and, at the direction of the Company, shall otherwise take such actions as may be necessary to exercise the Company’s rights under any such Lease. If a Tenant’s Lease requires that such Tenant maintain any insurance coverage, Manager shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain such certificates of insurance annually from each such Tenant and review same for compliance with the Lease.
(b)Manager shall notify the Company of material breaches or defaults by Tenants under their Leases and shall consult with the Company regarding such material breaches or defaults.

In this regard, with respect to a Tenant’s failure to pay Rent or breaches of a Tenant’s Lease beyond applicable grace and cure periods therefor, Manager, after obtaining the prior written approval of the Company, shall, to the extent permitted under applicable law, cancel the applicable Lease, terminate the tenancy and occupancy, serve in the name of Owner such notices as are appropriate to institute and prosecute causes of action, evict such
Page 5
Tenant and recover Rents and other sums due, and/or compromise disputes with such Tenant involving set-offs or damage claims; provided, however, Manager shall not be authorized to execute any document or instrument that would have the effect of compromising or settling any material dispute or modifying in any material respect any Lease in connection with any of the foregoing (and, unless otherwise determined by the Company, only Owner shall have the power to execute any document or instrument in connection with the foregoing).
SECTION 2.3.3Collections; Disbursements.

(a)Manager shall advise the Company as to the necessity or desirability of entering into agreements at the Company’s sole cost and expense and in form and substance acceptable to the Company, with third parties, to perform the duties that Manager reasonably deems necessary with respect to the Property. Manager shall include in the Operating Budget estimated costs it has established for any such third party contracts.
(b)Manager agrees to review, evaluate and negotiate all Service Contracts and, if requested by the Company, any supply, maintenance, repair, construction or other contract with respect to the Property, provided, however, Manager shall not execute any such Service Contract or other contract without the prior written consent of the Company except as specifically provided in this Agreement.
(c)Manager shall submit any prospective Service Contracts (including renewals and amendments) required for the Property involving in excess of $100,000 during any twelve (12) month period to a competitive bidding process, accepting bids, if any, from parties that are not Affiliates of Manager.

SECTION 2.3.7Emergency Expenditures.

SECTION 2.3.8Taxes and Assessments. Manager shall obtain and verify bills for real estate and personal property taxes, improvement assessments and other similar charges that are or may become liens against the Property and shall recommend payment (or, if reasonable, appeal as in its reasonable judgment it may decide). Manager shall include the obligation to make such payment in the Operating Budget and otherwise use reasonable efforts to cause such bills to be paid in such time as to avoid penalty for late payment or to permit the Company and Owner to take advantage of discounts. If the Company directs Manager to make payment, Manager shall pay, at the sole cost and expense of the Company, all real estate and personal property taxes and assessments levied or assessed against the Property or personal property used in connection therewith, such payments to be made in each case so as to avoid the imposition of additional interest, penalties or other charges for the late payment thereof (or if the Company directs, so as to obtain any available discount), and shall furnish the Company with receipted bills therefor, if received by Manager.

Page 15
necessary or appropriate by the Company’s accountants and/or the Approved Auditor and otherwise taking such steps and providing such information as is reasonably requested by the Company, the Company’s accountants, or the Approved Auditor in connection with their review and approval of the Year-End Reporting Template and any adjustments thereto).

If any Audit Report reflects any inaccuracies which reveal that Manager is entitled to receive greater or lesser amounts from the Company, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Audit Report, Manager will pay the Company, or the Company will pay Manager, as the case may be, the amount required to restore the parties to the position they would have been in absent such inaccuracies, excluding amounts under dispute.
