Unless Owner specifically informs Manager to the contrary, Advisor may perform any of the obligations or exercise any of the rights of Owner under this Agreement; provided that any actions that Advisor takes on behalf of Owner pursuant hereto are subject to the terms of the agreements between Advisor and Owner, and this Section 2.02 does not expand or modify the authority of Advisor to act on behalf of Owner.  


2.03.    General Operation.  Subject to the limitations imposed by the Budget from time to time, Manager shall manage the Projects and Debt Investments in the same manner as is customary 







and usual in management of comparable investments, and shall provide such services as are customarily provided by operators and servicers of high quality projects and investments of comparable class and standing.


Manager has received copies of agreements of limited partnership, joint venture partnership agreements and operating agreements of Owner and its affiliates as well as the articles of incorporation, bylaws, and registration statement on Form S-11 of the Company, including all prospectus supplements and post-effective amendments thereto (collectively, the “Ownership Agreements”) and is familiar with the terms thereof.

All such work shall be performed by Project Personnel unless it is not reasonable for them to do so due to the expertise, time constraints, or other considerations involved, and/or because having them do so is more expensive.


(b)    In accordance with the terms of the approved Budget or upon written demand and/or approval (except in the case of emergency) of Owner, from time to time during the term hereof Manager shall, at Owner’s expense, make all required capital improvements, replacements or repairs to the Projects.

Owner shall be solely responsible for the costs and expenses of maintaining and operating the Projects in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and shall pay all such costs and expenses, to the extent contemplated by this Agreement or incurred in accordance with the Budget, except if such costs and/or expenses are (i) attributable to costs arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct of Manager or Manager’s associates and/or employees; or (ii) cost of insurance purchased by Manager for its own account.  


6.02.    Right of Inspection and Review.  Owner, the Company and OP and their accountants, attorneys, and agents shall have the right to enter upon any part of the Projects at all reasonable times during the term of this Agreement for the purpose of examining or inspecting the Projects or examining

Owner’s Liability Insurance (as defined in Section 8.01 below) will be required to cover all actions of Manager where the Owner’s insurer agrees to provide Owner and Manager a defense (whether or not such defense is provided with a reservation of rights by the insurer) in accordance with the terms of such insurance policy.

Owner will deposit funds within fifteen (15) days of written notification into the Disbursement Account.  Owner further recognizes that the Projects may be operated in conjunction with other projects and that costs may be allocated or shared between such projects on a more efficient and less expensive method of operation in an effort to save costs and operate the Projects in a more efficient manner.

8.03.    Owner's Liability Insurance shall be Primary.  In connection with claims by third parties, as between Owner's Liability Insurance and Manager's Liability Insurance, Owner's Liability Insurance shall be considered the primary coverage.  No claim shall be made by Owner or its insurance company under or with respect to any insurance maintained by Manager except in the event that Owner's Liability Insurance is exhausted or in the event such claim is caused solely by the gross negligence (except actions or policies specifically approved or required by Owner) or willful misconduct (except actions or policies specifically approved or required by Owner) on the part of Manager or Manager's employees. Owner shall have its insurance carrier accept and endorse these coverage requirements.


8.04.    Waiver of Subrogation.  Each insurance policy maintained by Owner or by Manager as required herein shall contain a waiver of subrogation clause, so that no insurer shall have any claim over or against Owner or Manager, as the case may be, by way of subrogation or otherwise, with respect to any claims that are insured under such policy.  All insurance relating to each Project shall be only for the benefit of the party securing said insurance and all others named as insureds.  Owner and Manager hereby release each other from all rights of recovery under or through subrogation or otherwise for any and all losses and damages to the extent of such insurance coverage and agree that no insurer shall have a right to recover any amounts paid with respect to any claim against Owner or Manager by subrogation, assignment or otherwise.


8.05.    Handling Claims.  Manager shall report to Owner promptly in writing all accidents and claims of which it is aware for damage and injury relating to the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Projects and any damage or destruction to the Projects coming to the attention of Manager.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the indemnification provided by this paragraph specifically shall cover costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any remediation, removal or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency because of the presence of Hazardous Substances in, on, under or about the Project, except to the extent that the Hazardous Substances are present as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Manager or the breach of Manager’s obligations pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8.06.  For purposes of this section, “Hazardous Substances” shall mean (i) all substances 







defined as hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, or extremely hazardous waste under any applicable federal, state, or local law or regulation, and (ii) mold, mold contamination, mold spores, bacterial contaminants and/or any and all substances or materials related thereto.

(b)    Without limiting the indemnifications set forth in Section 8.06(a) above, Owner and Manager further agree that Owner is solely responsible for any and all conditions at the Projects that could give rise to bodily injury or property damage claims stemming from the presence of mold, mold contamination, mold spores, bacterial contaminants and/or any and all substances or materials related thereto.  Manager shall endeavor to inform Owner of the availability and cost of insurance to cover any and all conditions at the Projects that could give rise to bodily injury or property damage claims stemming from the presence of mold, mold contamination, mold spores, bacterial contaminants and/or any and all substances or materials related thereto, but the decision of whether or not to purchase insurance relating to such risk is solely that of Owner, and Manager shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever therefor. Owner’s failure to purchase or consider insurance alternatives for such risk shall not in any manner alter Manager’s obligations or liabilities hereunder.
