“Management Fees”) as provided in this Section 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Properties being managed by Manager on behalf of Owner or Owner JV as of December 31, 2004 (the “Existing Portfolio Properties”),
which Properties are listed on Exhibit A hereto, Manager shall perform the services and duties set forth herein at the same level of services required to be provided under existing agreements with Manager as of December 31, 2004 for no additional
consideration, it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the compensation for such services is intended to be included in the fees payable to the Asset Advisor pursuant to the terms of that certain Asset Management Advisory Agreement of even date
herewith. No additional fees shall be charged for the management or leasing of the Existing Portfolio Properties unless such fees are specifically approved by a majority of the Independent Directors of Wells REIT. 

  

	 	4.1.	Property Management Fee. For each Property for which Manager provides property management services, Owner shall pay Manager a management fee as set forth in the Property
Amendment which will be based on the gross monthly income actually collected from each Property for the preceding month. For all purposes hereof, “gross monthly income” shall mean the total gross monthly collections received from a
Property, including, without limitation, rents (and any interest or penalties accrued thereon), and miscellaneous gross income items of Owner, as applicable; provided, however, “gross monthly income” specifically excludes:


  

	 	A.	Interest paid on any depository accounts, including all Accounts and any Accounts holding security deposits; 

  

	 	B.	Security deposits unless and not until such deposits are applied as rental income upon termination of a lease; 

  

	 	C.	Parking revenues when a third party operator is engaged, sales taxes, taxes paid in lieu of ad valorem taxes, and termination payments, except to the extent of previously
uncollected rent or termination payments based in part on and to the extent of the remaining rent payable pursuant to a lease terminated prior to its stated expiration date; 

  

	 	D.	Imputed revenue related to employee occupied Improvements or spaces and space allocated or utilized for administrative purposes such as office use or model Improvements;

 19 









	 	G.	Proceeds from a sale, refinancing, condemnation, hazard or liability insurance, title insurance, tax abatement awards of all or any portion of a Property, other than rental loss
insurance payments. 

  
 Unless otherwise directed
by Owner, Manager shall be entitled to withdraw its compensation pursuant to this Section directly from an Account monthly in arrears, on the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month, except for the reporting period during which this Agreement is
terminated, in which case Owner will pay Manager the prorated fees due to Manager for the month of termination. 
  

	 	4.2.	Leasing Commissions. For each Property for which Manager provides leasing agent services, Owner shall pay Manager fees as follows: 

  

	 	A.	Initial Lease-Up Fee. Manager shall be entitled to receive a separate fee for the one-time initial rent-up or leasing-up of New Construction in an amount not to exceed
one-month’s rent. For this purpose, a Redevelopment constituting a total rehabilitation shall be included in the term “New Construction.” 

  

	 	B.	Leasing Commissions. 

  

	 	(1)	New Lease Commission. For each Property for which Manager serves as leasing agent, Owner will pay Manager, for each new tenant lease entered into during the term hereof, a
commission equal to the percentage specified in the related Property Amendment of the Net Rent payable during the term (not to exceed ten (10) years). No commission shall be payable as to any portion of the initial term beyond ten (10) years. As
used herein, “Net Rent” is defined as the total base rental and operating expenses (but excluding future increases in operating expenses) actually to be paid to Owner by the tenant during the applicable term of the lease; and the
calculation of the total base rental specifically incorporates, at a value of zero, any installments of base rental that the tenant is not required to pay as an inducement to enter into the lease (i.e. free rent). Payments shall be as negotiated
between the Owner and Manager and as set forth on the Property Amendment. 

  

	 	(2)	Renewal Commissions. Owner shall pay to Manager a commission equal to the percentage specified in the related Property Amendment of the Net Rent to be paid by the tenant
during the term of any renewal or extension of any tenant lease; provided, however, that no commission shall be payable as to any portion of such renewal or extension term beyond ten (10) years. For purposes of this subsection
4.2.B(2), a renewal shall include (i) a renewal of any tenant lease in a Property pursuant to a new 

  

 20 








 agreement that is executed during the term of this Agreement and (ii) a renewal of an existing tenant
lease pursuant to a new agreement that is executed during the term of this Agreement and prior to the expiration of the term of the existing tenant lease. Renewal commissions shall be paid out within thirty (30) days of the execution of the
applicable renewal or extension. 
  

	 	(3)	Expansion Commissions. Owner shall pay to Manager a commission equal to the percentage specified in the related Property Amendment of the Net Rent to be paid by the tenant
with respect to expansion space in a Property for the remaining portion of the initial lease term; provided, however, that no commission shall be payable as to any portion of the remainder of such lease term beyond ten (10) years. For
purposes of this subsection 4.2.B(3), an expansion shall include (i) an expansion of any tenant lease in the Property pursuant to a new agreement that is executed during the term of this Agreement and (ii) an expansion of an existing tenant lease
pursuant to a new agreement that is executed during the term of this Agreement and prior to the expiration of the term of the existing tenant lease. Expansion commissions shall be paid out within thirty (30) days of the execution of such expansion.


  

	 	(4)	Co-Brokerage. As the exclusive leasing agent for the Properties, Manager shall cooperate with any independent, affiliated or non-affiliated licensed real estate brokers or
agents and may offer co-agency but not sub-agencies with respect to the leasing of the Properties. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2 providing for a fee or commission to be paid to Manager, in the event that
any such independent, affiliated or non-affiliated brokers participates, in good faith (and has a rightful claim to a brokerage commission), as a procuring cause of a tenant lease or any renewal, extension, expansion or other modification of any
tenant lease with respect to which Manager would otherwise be due a commission pursuant to subsections 4.2.B(1) through 4.2.B(3), above (such broker or agent being hereinafter referred to as “Co-Agent”), then the commission payable
by Owner shall only be as set forth on the Property Amendment under “Co-Brokerage Commissions.” Any such commissions shall be shared between Manager and Co-Agent as they shall agree. 

  

	 	C.	Pending Leases. Within fifteen (15) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Manager shall deliver to Owner a list of all parties to whom Manager
has presented a bona fide “Letter of Proposal” or has otherwise taken substantial and material steps evidenced in a manner acceptable to Owner, in Owner’s reasonable discretion, with respect to a good faith effort to enter into a
lease at a Property during the 

  

 21 








 term of this Agreement regarding the possible leasing of space in a Property, or a possible renewal,
extension or of any existing tenant lease covering space in a Property. Owner agrees that it will pay the commission that would otherwise be due in accordance with Section 4.2.B hereof in the event Owner or its successor or assign enters into any
lease with any tenant validly included in Manager’s list or any affiliate thereof, or enters into any renewal, extension or expansion of an existing tenant lease included in Manager’s list so long as negotiations commence and are a final
written agreement is executed by all necessary parties during one hundred eighty (180) days after such expiration or termination of this Agreement. Owner covenants and agrees that it shall not delay entering into any lease, or any renewal, extension
or expansion thereof, for the purpose of depriving Manager of any commission due Manager pursuant to this Section 4.2.C. 
  

	 	4.3.	Construction Management Fees. For each Property for which Manager provides construction management services, Manager shall be entitled to fees as follows:


  

	 	A.	Tenant Directed Improvements. For planning and coordinating the construction of any tenant directed improvements pursuant to lease concessions in new leases or lease
renewals, including tenant-paid finish-out or improvements, Manager shall be entitled to receive from Owner or Owner JV that portion of such lease concessions as are specified in such lease or lease renewal, subject to a limit of 5% of such lease
concessions, and, in addition, Owner or Owner JV shall ensure that any lease or lease renewal contains a provision requiring tenant to pay Manager the same percentage for any tenant-paid finish-out or improvements not covered by such lease
concessions (i.e., paid by tenant). 

  

	 	B.	Other Management Fees for Construction Management Services. The Owner agrees to pay Contractor a management fee as specified in the appropriate Property Amendment.


  

	 	4.4.	Audit Adjustment. If any audit of the records, books or accounts relating to the Properties discloses an overpayment or underpayment of Management Fees, Owner, Owner JV, or
Manager shall promptly pay to the other party the amount of such overpayment or underpayment, as the case may be. If such audit discloses an overpayment of Management Fees for any fiscal year of more 10% of the correct aggregate Management Fees for
such fiscal year, Manager shall bear the cost of such audit. 

  

	5.	Insurance And Indemnification. 

  

	 	5.1.	Insurance to be Carried. 

  

	 	A.	Manager shall obtain and keep in full force and effect, or cause to be obtained and kept in full force and effect, at Owner’s or Owner JV’s expense insurance, unless paid
directly by a tenant at a Property, (1) on the 

  

 22 








 Properties and (2) on activities at the properties against such hazards as Owner and Manager shall deem
appropriate. In any event, Manager shall procure, for the Properties for which Manager is property manager, insurance sufficient to comply with the Leases and the Ownership Agreements. All liability policies shall provide sufficient insurance
satisfactory to both Owner and Manager and shall contain waivers of subrogation for the benefit of Manager and the applicable Owner or Owner JV. 
  

	 	B.	Manager shall obtain and keep in full force and effect, in accordance with the laws of the state in which each Property is located, worker’s compensation insurance covering all
employees of Manager at the Properties and all persons engaged in the performance of any work required hereunder. Manager shall also obtain and keep in full force and effect, in accordance with the laws of the state in which each Property is
located, employer’s liability, employee theft, commercial general liability, and umbrella insurance, and Manager shall furnish Owner certificates of insurers naming Asset Advisor, Owner and/or Owner JV as co-insureds and evidencing that such
insurance is in effect. If any work under this Agreement is subcontracted as permitted herein, Manager shall include in each subcontract a provision that the subcontractor shall also furnish Owner and/or Owner JV, as appropriate, with such a
certificate evidencing coverage (and any other coverage Manager deems appropriate in the circumstances) and the naming of Asset Advisor, Owner and/or Owner JV as co-insureds and evidencing that such insurance is in effect, as well as indemnification
as is customary in the discretion of the Manager. The cost of such insurance procured by Manager shall be reimbursable to the same extent as provided in Section 3.1. 

  

	 	5.2.	Cooperation with Insurers. Manager shall cooperate with and provide reasonable access to the Properties to representatives of insurance companies and insurance brokers or
agents with respect to insurance which is in effect or for which application has been made. Manager shall use its best efforts to comply with all requirements of insurers. 

  

	 	5.3.	Accidents and Claims. With respect to Properties for which Manager is property manager, and with respect to Properties for which manager is construction manager, Manager
shall promptly investigate and shall report in detail to Owner and insurance carriers as applicable all accidents, claims for damage relating to the ownership, operation or maintenance of the Properties, and any damage or destruction to the
Properties and the estimated costs of repair thereof, and shall prepare for approval by Owner all reports required by an insurance company in connection with any such accident, claim, damage, or destruction. Such reports shall be given to Owner
promptly and any report not so given within 10 days after the occurrence of any such accident, claim, damage or destruction shall be noted in the monthly report delivered to Owner pursuant to Section 2.4.P(1). Manager is authorized to settle any
claim against an insurance company arising out of any policy and, in connection with such claim, to execute proofs of loss and adjustments of loss and to collect and receipt for loss proceeds. 

  

 23 









	 	5.4.	Indemnification. 

  

	 	A.	Wells OP shall indemnify and hold harmless the Manager and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, from all liability, claims,
damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by
insurance, subject to any limitations imposed by the laws of the State of Delaware, the limited partnership agreement of Wells OP, or as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager shall not be
entitled to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to this Section 5.4.A for any activity for which the Manager shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless Wells OP pursuant to Paragraph 5.4.B or pursuant to another specific provision of
this Agreement. Any indemnification of the Manager may be made only out of the net assets of Wells OP and not from the partners of Wells OP. 

  

	 	B.	The Manager shall indemnify and hold harmless the Owner and Owner JV from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses including
attorneys’ fees, to the extent that such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Manager’s bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, misconduct,
reckless disregard of its duties, gross negligence, or material breaches of this Agreement.

	 	7.3.	Assignment. Manager may delegate partially or in full its duties and rights under this Agreement but only with the prior written consent of Owner. Except as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

waiver thereof for the future. 

  

	 	7.5.	Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the amendment is sought. 


 

	 	7.6.	Headings. The headings of the various subdivisions of this Agreement are for reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.


  

 26 









	 	7.7.	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this
Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. 

  

	 	7.8.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the related Property Amendments and Exhibits hereto contains the entire understanding and all agreements between Owner and Manager

	 	7.10.	Other Activities of Manager. 

  

	 	A.	General. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Manager from engaging in other activities or business ventures, whether or not such other activities or ventures are in
competition with Owner or the business of Owner, including, without limitation, property management activities for other Persons (including other REITs) and the provision of services to other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Manager
or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, employee, or stockholder of the Manager or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership,
corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Manager may, with respect to any investment in which the Owner is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein. The Manager shall report to the
board of directors of Wells REIT the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Manager’s obligations to Owner and its
obligations to or its interest in any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. 

  

	 	B.	Policy with Respect to Allocation of Tenant Rental Opportunities. Before the Manager markets leasable space owned by an Affiliate of Owner to a prospective tenant, the needs
of which would in the Manager’s judgment be met by leasable space owned by Owner, the Manager shall determine in its sole discretion that the prospective tenant’s needs would be better met by leasable space owned by another owner. In the
event that the Manager is marketing to a prospective tenant whose needs would, in the sole discretion of the Manager, equally be met by leasable space owned by Owner and another Wells-sponsored program, then the Manager may more aggressively market
the leasable space owned by the other program 

  

 27 








 if it has had the longest period of time elapse since space owned by it was aggressively marketed by
Manager. The Manager will use its reasonable efforts to fairly allocate prospective tenant opportunities in accordance with such allocation method and will promptly disclose any material deviation from such policy or the establishment of a new
policy, which shall be allowed provided (1) the Board of Directors of Wells REIT is provided with notice of such policy at least 60 days prior to such policy becoming effective and (2) such policy provides for the reasonable allocation of
prospective tenant marketing opportunities among such programs. The Manager shall provide the Board of Directors of Wells REIT with any information reasonably requested so that the Board of Directors of Wells REIT can insure that the allocation of
prospective tenant marketing opportunities is applied fairly. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Manager or an Affiliate from marketing leasable space that it may own rather than aggressively marketing space owned by Owner or an Affiliate
of Owner so long as the Manager is fulfilling its obligation to market vacant space owned by Owner in a manner consistent with the policies and objectives of the Owner. 
  

	 	7.11.	Severability. If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held to be invalid or
unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term, covenant or condition to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held to be invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each
term, covenants or condition of this Agreement shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
