PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND LEASING AGREEMENT

THIS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND LEASING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into effective as of the ___day of ___, 20___, by and between Xxxxx REIT Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (hereinafter called “Owner”), and Xxxxx Interests Limited Partnership, a Texas limited partnership (hereinafter called “Manager”),

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, Owner is the owner of the land described in Schedule A attached hereto together with the office building and other improvements located thereon (the “Premises”); and

WHEREAS, Owner wishes to obtain the benefits of Manager’s expertise in the field of real estate management and leasing by relinquishing to Manager control in the operation, direction, management, leasing and supervision of the Premises, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and Manager, for a fee and pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, agrees to assume said control and discretion in the operation, direction, management and supervision of the Premises on behalf of Owner.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and of other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

APPOINTMENT

Section 1.1 Appointment of Manager. Owner hereby contracts with Manager to manage, lease (or supervise the leasing by a third party), operate, direct and supervise the Premises on behalf of Owner and to provide services as required under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 2

TERM

Section 2.1 Term. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including without limitation Article 12), the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue until the earlier of termination pursuant to Article 12 or ten (10) years after the date of this Agreement. Thereafter, the Term shall continue from year to year unless written notice is given by either party of its desire not to continue this Agreement at least ninety (90) days prior to any anniversary of the commencement of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the taking of possession of the Premises by a mortgagee through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, this Agreement may be terminated by such mortgagee upon ninety (90) days prior written notice thereof.

ARTICLE 3

RELATIONSHIP

Section 3.1 Relationship. Manager shall at all times be the independent contractor of Owner and not the employee or agent of Owner. Manager shall have no right or power to contract with third parties for, on behalf of, or in the name of Owner or otherwise to bind Owner. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, Owner agrees to be responsible for and shall

reimburse Manager for all costs, expenses and disbursements reasonably and properly incurred by Manager in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement in providing management, leasing (if applicable) and operational services hereunder, such as, but not limited to, contracts for cleaning services, contracts for landscaping or maintenance services and orders for supplies and equipment, and Owner agrees to indemnify and hold Manager harmless from and against the same.

ARTICLE 4

ASSIGNABILITY

Section 4.1 Assignability by Manager. Manager shall not transfer or assign this Agreement or any part thereof or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Owner, provided that Owner’s consent shall not be required for an assignment to a Hines Affiliate (defined below). The foregoing shall not prevent Manager from either (i) pledging to any person or entity Manager’s right to receive fees under this Agreement, or (ii) entering into contracts with third parties to assist Manager in providing the services required by this Agreement, provided that, as between Owner and Manager, Manager remains ultimately responsible for the provision of such services and Owner shall have no liability under such contracts unless expressly agreed to in writing by Owner. The consent of Owner to one or more assignments of this Agreement shall not be construed as, or result in, consent by Owner to any further or future assignment or assignments. Any assignment or attempted assignment not made strictly in accordance with the foregoing shall be void.

As used herein, “Hines Affiliate” shall mean any partnership, limited liability company, corporation, trust or other entity as to which 50% or more of the beneficial interests

are held, directly or indirectly, by and effective day to day Control resides in the Xxxxx Family and/or any current or former employees of Xxxxx Interests Limited Partnership or its successors. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Control” or “Controlled” shall mean with respect to any person, the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

As used herein, “Hines Family” shall mean Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx and/or Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx, their parents, brothers and sisters, their respective spouses and children (natural and adopted), grandchildren or great grandchildren of any of the foregoing and/or trusts for any of the foregoing.

Section 4.2 Assignment by Owner. If Owner conveys the Premises or any part thereof to an Affiliate (defined below) of Owner, then Owner shall assign this Agreement to such Affiliate.

ARTICLE 5

SERVICES OF MANAGER

Section 5.1 Management of the Premises. Manager shall manage, operate and maintain the Premises in a manner normally associated with the management and operation of a high quality office building. Manager shall at all times deal with third parties (whether or not

affiliated with Manager) at arms’ length and in Owner’s interest at all times. Manager shall act in a fiduciary capacity with respect to the proper protection of and accounting for Owner’s assets.

Section 5.2 Manager’s Employees. Manager shall have in its employ at all times a sufficient number of capable employees to enable it to properly, adequately, safely and economically manage, lease (or supervise the leasing of), operate and maintain the Premises. All matters pertaining to the employment, supervision, compensation, promotion and discharge of such employees are the responsibility of Manager. Manager is in all respects the employer of such employees, but Owner may require that any particular employee or employees be removed from duty with respect to the Premises if Owner reasonably deems such employee or employees to be incompetent, careless, insubordinate or otherwise objectionable. Manager shall fully comply with all applicable laws and regulations having to do with worker’s compensation, social security, unemployment insurance, hours of labor, wages, working conditions, and other employer-employee related subjects. All employees engaged by Manager shall be the employees of Manager and not of Owner.

Section 5.3 Budgets and Leasing Guidelines; Annual Performance. Manager shall prepare and submit to Owner a proposed operating budget (the “Operating Budget”), capital budget (the “Capital Budget”), marketing program and leasing guidelines (the “Marketing Program”) for the Premises for the management, leasing and operation of the Premises for the forthcoming calendar year (or in the case of the first calendar year in which the Term commences, the remainder of such year if it is not a full calendar year) in a format approved by Owner. Manager shall also complete and deliver to Owner a written review of its performance for the then current calendar year at the same time (the “Performance Review”) it delivers the

budgets and programs as contemplated in this Section 5.3. The scope and substance of the Performance Review will be agreed to by the Manager and the Owner prior to the delivery of the first review. The first such budgets, program and guidelines shall be submitted to Owner within forty-five (45) days after the date of this Agreement and in the future subsequent proposed budgets, program and guidelines shall be delivered to Owner no later than October 15 of each calendar year. By October 15 of each calendar year, Manager will submit to Owner (i) a summary of the actual (through September 30) and projected (for the full year) results of management and operation of the Premises for such calendar year and (ii) a Performance Review for the then-current calendar year.

The leasing guidelines shall include the following:

(a) the minimum rental rate to be charged for office, and, if applicable, storage, antenna, telecom, retail and parking and the minimum and maximum term which may be provided in each category of space to be leased in the Premises;

(b) the maximum leasing concessions or inducements (on a per square foot basis) which may be provided with respect to the Premises;

(d) a list of space which will become available for lease in the Premises during the applicable calendar year; and

(e) if a third party will perform leasing services for all or a portion of the Premises, whether pursuant to a contract with Manager or as a result of a leasing agreement directly with Owner as contemplated by Section 5.5, a summary of any material terms of such relationship and the supervision thereof by Manager.

Owner will consider the proposed budgets, program and guidelines and then will consult with Manager within forty-five (45) days after they are submitted in order to agree on an “Approved Operating Budget”, an “Approved Capital Budget”, and “Approved Marketing Programs”. Owner and Manager will use good faith efforts to agree on the foregoing within such forty-five (45) day period. Additionally, if Owner identifies any operating or performance deficiencies that are within reasonable control of Manager after reviewing the Performance Review, Owner shall give Manager written notice of such deficiencies prior to the end of this forty-five (45) day period. Manager shall then have the later of 30 days, or such time as is reasonably necessary, to cure the deficiencies identified in such notice. If such deficiencies are not corrected with this time period, Owner shall give Manager a second notice of its desire to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2. If Manager does not cure such deficiencies within thirty (30) days after this second notice, and provide Owner written notice (and when applicable, evidence) that such deficiencies have been cured, this Agreement may be terminated by Owner pursuant to Section 12.2.

No less frequently than quarterly, Manager shall during each calendar year review the Approved Operating Budget, Approved Capital Budget, and Approved Marketing Program, and compare the same to year-to-date activity to determine whether revisions are needed. Any such needed revisions will be submitted to Owner for its approval.

Manager agrees to use diligence and to employ all reasonable efforts to ensure that the actual costs (net of amounts, if any, recovered from third parties) of maintaining, leasing and operating the Premises shall not exceed the approved budgets pertaining thereto.

Section 5.4 Collection of Rents. Manager shall use diligent efforts to collect all rents (including, without limitation, xxxxxxxx resulting from tenant participation in operating expenses, taxes and common area maintenance charges) and other charges which may become due at any time from any tenant or from others for services provided in connection with or for the use of the Premises or any portion thereof. All monies so collected shall be deposited in the Receipts Account (defined in Section 9.1). Manager cannot and may not terminate any lease, lock out a tenant, institute a suit for rent or for use and occupancy, or institute proceedings for recovery of possession of any premises, without the prior written approval of Owner. In connection with such suits or proceedings only legal counsel designated by Owner shall be retained. The estimated costs of legal services to be incurred in bringing such approved suit or proceeding shall be submitted to Owner for its approval. Manager shall not write off any rental income of more than twenty percent (20%) of the gross monthly rent (up to a maximum of $10,000) for any single tenant without the prior approval of Owner.

Section 5.5 Leasing Duties of Manager. If Manager agrees to serve as the primary leasing agent for the Premises such that Manager serves as the agent involved in locating and securing tenants for the Premises, Manager shall be the “Primary Leasing Agent” and shall be entitled to the leasing fees set forth in Section. 21.1(b). If Manager is not the Primary Leasing Agent, Owner may contract with third parties to perform such services and Manager shall not be entitled to the leasing fees referenced above. In all events, Manager shall act as leasing manager for the Premises and be ultimately responsible for the leasing activities of the Premises, including supervising any third party retained by Owner to ensure that such party is acting in accordance with the approved marketing program and leasing guidelines. If Manager is the

Primary Leasing Agent, Manager may also contract with other persons to perform leasing services for the Premises, provided that Owner will not be obligated to pay any leasing fees or commissions to such third parties unless it agrees to do so in writing, but Owner shall remain obligated to pay Manager leasing fees in accordance with Section 21.1(b). Manager may act without further approvals as long as Manager acts in accordance with the approved marketing program and leasing guidelines. It is understood that Owner is the only signatory authority for the execution of all lease and related leasing documents and Manager shall not represent to the contrary to prospective tenants and other parties.

Section 5.6 Decorations and Repairs. Manager shall institute and supervise all ordinary and extraordinary repairs, decorations and alterations, including the administration of a preventative maintenance program for all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and equipment and the design and installation of any supplemental H.V.A.C. electrical, mechanical or plumbing devices, including metering devices, which are installed on behalf of any tenant(s) of the Premises, provided that such (unless the same relate to emergencies) are included in an Approved Operating Budget or in an authorization by Owner pursuant to an Approved Capital Budget.

Section 5.7 Operational Activities. Manager shall institute and supervise all operational activities of the Premises, including but not limited to:

A. Supervision of the cleaning contractor;

(c) All financial statements and reports required by Owner will be prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, except for special financial reports which by their nature require a deviation from GAAP.

ARTICLE 6

MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY

Section 6.1 Limitation on Manager’s Authority. Manager’s authority is expressly limited to the provisions provided herein or as may be amended in writing from time to time by Owner and mutually agreed to and accepted by Manager in writing.

Section 6.2 Expenditure of Monies by Manager. The Approved Operating Budget shall constitute an authorization for Manager to expend money to operate, lease and manage the Premises and Manager may do so without further approval as long as Manager does not exceed the year-to-date budgeted amount for any line item (after any allocation of any contingency that may be contained in the budget and that can be applied to such line item). Whenever the year-to-date budgeted amount for any line item is (or appears likely to be) exceeded, a year-to-date budget variance and a revised operating budget for such line item shall be presented to Owner for its consideration. Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, Manager may not act outside of the Approved Operating Budget until the budget revision is approved in writing by Owner, which approval Owner will endeavor to give in a timely manner. Once approved, Manager’s authority with the revised or any additionally revised budgets is the same as that authorized for the original budget.

Section 6.3 Capital Expenditures. The Approved Capital Budget shall not constitute an authorization for Manager to expend any money. Any capital expenditures must be specifically authorized by Owner. With respect to the purchase and installation of capital items, Manager shall recommend that Owner purchase such items when Manager believes such purchase to be necessary or desirable. Owner may arrange to purchase and install the same itself or may authorize Manager to do so subject to prescribed supervision and specification requirements and conditions. Unless Owner specifically waives such requirements, either by memorandum or as an amendment to the contract, all new or replacement capital items exceeding Twenty-five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000) shall be awarded on the basis of competitive bidding, solicited in the following manner:

(a) A minimum of three written bids will be obtained for each purchase in excess of $25,000.

(b) Each bid will be solicited in a form prescribed by Owner so that uniformity will exist in the bid quotes.

(c) Manager shall provide Owner with all bid responses accompanied by Manager’s recommendations as to the most acceptable bid. If Manager advises acceptance of other than the lowest bidder, Manager shall adequately support, in writing, its recommendations.

Owner shall be free to accept or reject any and all bids. Owner will communicate to Manager in writing its acceptance or rejection of bids. Owner may pay for capital expenses from its own resources or may authorize payment by Manager out of the Disbursement Account.

Section 6.4 Contracts with Affiliates of Manager. Manager shall not enter into any contract with an Affiliate of Manager for cleaning, maintaining, repairing or servicing the Premises or any of the constituent parts of the Premises without the prior written consent of Owner if the contract would require Owner to make any payments to an Affiliate of Manager. As a condition to obtaining such consent, Manager shall supply Owner with a copy of the proposed contract and shall state to Owner the affiliation between Manager (or other person or persons in control of Manager) and the party proposed to supply such goods or services, or both. Prior to entering into any such contract, whether or not with an affiliated or related party, Manager shall submit a proposal to Owner and Owner may veto the same if Owner reasonably deems it to be unnecessary, wasteful or inappropriate. Further, any such contract must be on market terms and Owner may require Manager to demonstrate the same through third party bids

or other means. In addition to Owner’s veto right referenced above, if required by the governance documents of the general partner of Owner, any such contract must be approved by the independent members of the board of directors of the Owner’s general partner. Any such contract will include prudent cancellation rights.

Section 6.5 Execution of Leases and Contracts. All leases and related lease documents, all service contracts and all purchases, and all legal documentation related thereto, are to be in the name of Owner in the form prescribed by Owner and shall be executed by Owner, with the exception of contracts permitted under Section 6.4 hereof and of purchase orders related to the purchase of items within approved budgets, which may be executed by Manager. Additionally, Manager shall execute on behalf of Owner such service agreements as Owner may authorize from time to time.

Section 6.6 Structural Changes. Owner expressly withholds from Manager any power or authority to make any structural change to the Premises or to make any other major alterations or additions in or to the Premises or equipment therein without the prior written direction of Owner.
