If applicable, the terms of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the characterization of Manager as a “management 


4

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 Manager 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 each Property.


13









3.8    Legal Status of Properties.  Owner represents that, to the best of its knowledge, each Property and any equipment thereon does comply, or when acquired by Owner, will comply with all legal requirements and authorizes Manager to disclose the identity of the Owner of each Property to any such officials and agrees to indemnify, protect, defend, save and hold Manager and the other Manager 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 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 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.
3.9    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.
ARTICLE IV
 
EXPENSES
4.1    Owner’s Expenses.  Except as otherwise specifically provided, all costs and expenses incurred hereunder by Manager in fulfilling its duties to Owner shall be for the account of and on behalf of Owner.  Such costs and expenses shall include the wages and salaries and other employee-related expenses of all on-site and off-site employees of Manager who are engaged in the operation, management, maintenance and leasing or access control of the Properties, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating to such employees, costs of technology related to the Properties, including computers, telephone systems and property management and accounting software and any upgrades or conversions thereof, and legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses that are directly related to the management of specific Properties.  All costs and expenses for which Owner is responsible under this Agreement shall be paid by Manager out of the Account.  In the event the Account does not contain sufficient funds to pay all said expenses, Owner promptly shall fund all sums necessary to meet such additional costs and expenses.


14









4.2    Manager’s Expenses.  Manager shall, out of its own funds, pay all of its general overhead and administrative expenses.
ARTICLE V

MANAGER’S COMPENSATION
5.1    Management Fees.  Owner shall pay Manager property management and leasing fees in an amount equal to four and one-half percent (4.5%) of Gross Revenues (the “Management Fee”) on a monthly basis from the rental income received from the Properties over the term of this Agreement.  Certain of these Properties may be owned by Joint Ventures.  When Manager is not paid by the Joint Venture directly in respect of its services, the compensation to be paid by the Owner to Manager will be calculated by multiplying the Management Fee by the Economic Interest Percentage owned directly or indirectly by the Owner in that Property.  In the event that Owner contracts directly with a third-party property manager not affiliated with Manager in respect of a Property for which the Owner, in its sole discretion, has the ability to appoint or hire Manager as property manager, Owner shall pay Manager an oversight fee (“Oversight Fee”) equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) of Gross Revenues of such Property to compensate Manager for transition services to coordinate and align the systems and policies of the third-party property manager with those of Manager.  In no event will Owner pay both a Management Fee and an Oversight Fee to Manager with respect to any Property.  If Manager subcontracts its responsibilities hereunder to another Person, Manager shall be solely responsible for the payment to the applicable third party.  Manager’s compensation under this Section 5.1 shall apply to all renewals, extensions or expansions of Leases that Manager has originally negotiated.  In the event Manager assists with planning and coordinating the construction of any tenant-paid finish-out or improvements, Manager shall be entitled to receive from any such tenant an amount equal to not greater than five percent (5.0%) of the cost of such tenant improvements.  The Management Fee includes the reimbursement of the specified cost incurred by Manager of engaging another person or entity to perform Manager’s responsibilities hereunder; provided, however, that Manager shall be responsible for payment of all amounts to these third parties.  Nothing herein shall prevent Manager from entering fee-splitting arrangements with third parties with respect to the Management Fee.
5.2    Leasing Fees.  In addition to the compensation paid to Manager under Section 5.1, Manager shall be entitled to receive a separate fee for the Leases of new tenants and renewals of Leases with existing tenants in an amount not to exceed the fee customarily charged in arm’s length transactions by others rendering similar services in the same geographic area for similar properties as determined by a survey of brokers and agents in such area.
5.3    Audit Adjustment.  If any audit of the records, books or accounts relating to the Properties discloses an overpayment or underpayment of Management Fees, Owner 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 than the correct Management Fees for such fiscal year, Manager shall bear the cost of such audit.


15









ARTICLE VI

INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION
6.1    Insurance to be Carried.
(a)    Manager shall obtain and keep in full force and effect insurance on the Properties against such hazards as Owner and Manager shall deem appropriate, but in any event insurance sufficient to comply with the Leases and Ownership Agreements shall be maintained.  All liability policies shall provide sufficient insurance satisfactory to both Owner and Manager and shall contain waivers of subrogation for the benefit of Manager.
(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, employer’s liability insurance applicable to and covering all employees of Manager at the Properties and all persons engaged in the performance of any work required hereunder, and Manager shall furnish Owner certificates of insurers naming Owner as a co-insured 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 with such a certificate.
6.2    Insurance Expenses.  Premiums and other expenses of such insurance, as well as any applicable payments in respect of deductibles shall be borne by Owner.
6.3    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 that is in effect or for which application has been made.  Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all requirements of insurers.
6.4    Accidents and Claims.  Manager shall promptly investigate and shall report in detail to Owner all accidents, claims for damage relating to 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 ten (10) days after the occurrence of any such accident, claim, damage or destruction shall be noted in the monthly operating statement delivered to Owner pursuant to Section 2.6(b).  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.
6.5    Indemnification.  
(a)    Indemnification of Manager. Owner shall indemnify, defend, protect, save and hold harmless Manager and the other Manager Indemnified Parties, from and against 


16









any and all Losses in connection with or in any way related to (i) any Contract, (ii) each Property, including any past, current or future allegations regarding treatment, depositing, storage, disposal or placement by any Person other than Manager of hazardous substances on the Property, and from liability for damage to each Property and injuries to or death of any person whomsoever, and damage to Property, (iii) the willful misconduct, gross negligence or unlawful acts (such unlawfulness having been adjudicated by a court of proper jurisdiction) of Owner, or 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, and (iv) any matter, act or omission occurring prior to the date hereof relating to, in connection with, or in respect of, Owner or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective businesses, assets or properties (including any claim or litigation asserted or instigated by a third party); provided, however, that the indemnification and exculpation shall not extend to any such Losses arising out of the willful misconduct, gross negligence or unlawful acts (the unlawfulness having been adjudicated by a court of proper jurisdiction) of Manager, its agents, servants, or employees; provided further, however, that to the extent that Manager recovers insurance proceeds with respect to any matter for which a Manager Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification, then the amount payable to such Manager Indemnified Party under this Section 6.5 in respect of such matter shall be reduced by the amount of such recovered insurance proceeds.  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 or unlawful acts (the unlawfulness having been adjudicated by a court of proper jurisdiction). In addition, Owner shall advance funds to any Manager Indemnified Party for reasonable legal fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred as a result of any claim, suit, action or proceeding for which indemnification is being sought; provided, however, that such Manager Indemnified Party undertakes to repay the advanced funds to Owner, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such Manager Indemnified Party is found pursuant to a final and non-appealable order or judgment to not be entitled to indemnification.
 
(b)Indemnification of Owner.  Manager shall indemnify, defend, protect, save and hold harmless Owner, its Affiliates and their respective stockholders, officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, representatives, successors and assigns, from any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to any person or property whatsoever for which Manager is responsible occurring in, on, or about the Properties, including the Improvements, when the injury or damage shall be caused by the willful misconduct, gross negligence or unlawful acts (the unlawfulness having been adjudicated by a court of proper jurisdiction) of Manager, its agents, servants or employees, except to the extent that Owner recovers insurance proceeds with respect to such matter.

ARTICLE VII

TERM AND TERMINATION
7.1    Term.  This Agreement shall commence on the date first above written and shall continue until the fifth anniversary of such date and thereafter for successive one (1) year renewal periods, unless on or before the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of any such period, either party shall notify the other party in writing that it elects to have this Agreement terminated, in which case this Agreement shall be thereby terminated on the date last above mentioned.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall automatically terminate as to any specific Property upon its sale or other transfer of ownership to a Person other than Owner or an Affiliate of Owner and shall terminate in its entirety upon the sale of the final Property subject to this Agreement.  Any termination of this Agreement shall not affect (a) any rights or obligations accrued to any party prior to termination (subject to any offsetting claims for damages), including payment of property management fees earned to the date of termination, or (b) the provisions of Sections 2.7, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 6.5, 8.4 and 8.5, which shall survive any such termination.  In addition, any party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon the occurrence of a decree or order rendered by a court having jurisdiction (i) adjudging Manager as bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or similar relief for Manager under the federal bankruptcy laws or any similar applicable law or practice, or (iii) appointing a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of Manager or a substantial part of the property of Manager, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs.
7.2    Manager’s Obligations Upon Termination.  Upon the termination of this Agreement, including termination as to any specific Property upon its sale or other transfer of ownership to a Person other than Owner or an Affiliate of Owner, Manager shall have the following duties:
(a)    Manager shall deliver to Owner or its designee, all books and records with respect to the applicable Property or Properties.
(b)    Manager shall transfer and assign to Owner, or its designee, all service contracts and personal property relating to or used in the operation and maintenance of the applicable Property or Properties, except personal property paid for and owned by Manager.  Manager shall also, for a period of sixty (60) days immediately following the date of such termination, make itself available to consult with and advise Owner, or its designee, regarding the operation, maintenance and leasing of the applicable Property or Properties.
(c)    Manager shall render to Owner an accounting of all funds of Owner in its possession and shall deliver to Owner a statement of all Management Fees claimed to be due to Manager and shall cause funds of Owner held by Manager relating to the applicable Property or Properties to be paid to Owner or its designee.


18









(d)    All provisions of this Agreement that require Manager to protect, defend, save, hold and indemnify or to reimburse Owner shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement and, if Owner is or becomes involved in any claim, proceeding or litigation by reason of having been Owner, such provisions shall apply as if this Agreement were still in effect.
7.3    Owner’s Obligations Upon Termination.  Upon the termination of this Agreement, Owner shall cooperate with Manager and take all reasonable steps to make an orderly transition of the Manager’s services to Owner, including without limitation:
(a)Owner shall pay or reimburse Manager for any sums of money due it under this Agreement for services and expenses prior to the termination of this Agreement.  The parties understand and agree that Manager may withhold funds for 60 days after the end of the month in which this Agreement is terminated to pay bills previously incurred but not yet invoiced and to close accounts. Should the funds withheld be insufficient to meet the obligation of Manager to pay bills previously incurred, Owner will, upon demand, advance sufficient funds to Manager to ensure fulfillment of Manager’s obligation to do so, within 10 days of receipt of notice and an itemization of such unpaid bills.
 
(b)Owner shall assume in writing all obligations under all Contracts entered into by Manager, on behalf of Owner of the Property, upon the termination of this Agreement.
 
(c)All provisions of this Agreement that require Owner to protect, defend, save, hold and indemnify or to reimburse Manager shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement, and, if Manager is or becomes involved in any claim, proceeding or litigation by reason of having been Manager, such provisions shall apply as if this Agreement were still in effect.


7.4    Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof; provided, however, that with respect to each Delayed Consent Owner, this Agreement shall be effective with respect to such Delayed Consent Owner as of the date the applicable approval or consent pertaining to the Property or Properties owned by such Delayed Consent Owner has been received or waived by Manager.

8.2    Governing Law; Venue.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, and any action brought to enforce the agreements made hereunder or any action which arises out of the relationship created hereunder shall be brought exclusively in any of the federal or state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City.
8.3    Assignment.  Manager may assign or delegate partially or in full its duties and rights under this Agreement and the fees and compensation related thereto to a duly qualified and licensed Affiliate of Manager without the approval of Owner.  Any other assignment or delegation by Manager of its duties and rights under this Agreement may be made only with the prior written consent of Owner.  Owner acknowledges and agrees that any or all of the duties of Manager as contained herein may be assigned or delegated by Manager and performed by a duly qualified and licensed Person (“Submanager”) with whom Manager contracts for the purpose of performing such duties.  Owner specifically grants Manager the authority to enter into such a contract with a Submanager; provided that, unless Owner otherwise agrees in writing with such 


20









Submanager, Owner shall have no liability or responsibility to any such Submanager for the payment of the Submanager’s fee or for reimbursement to the Submanager of its expenses or to indemnify the Submanager in any manner for any matter; and provided further that Manager shall require such Submanager to agree, in the written agreement setting forth the duties and obligations of such Submanager, to indemnify Owner for all Losses incurred by Owner as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Submanager, except that such indemnity shall not be required to the extent that Owner recovers issuance proceeds with respect to such matter.  Any contract entered into between Manager and a Submanager pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, except to the extent Owner otherwise specifically agrees in writing.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
8.4    Third-Party Leasing Services.  Manager acknowledges that from time to time Owner may determine that it is in the best interests of Owner to retain a third party to provide certain leasing services with respect to certain Properties and to compensate such third party for such leasing services.  Upon the prior written consent of Manager, Owner shall have the authority to enter into such a contract for leasing services with a third party (a “Third-Party Leasing Agreement”); provided, however, that Manager shall have no liability or responsibility to Owner for any of the duties and obligations undertaken by such party, and Owner agrees to indemnify the Manager Indemnified Parties for all Losses incurred by Manager as a result of acts of such third party pursuant to the Third-Party Leasing Agreement.  To the extent that leasing services are specifically required to be performed by a third party pursuant to such Third-Party Leasing Agreement, Manager shall have no obligation to perform such leasing services and Owner shall have no obligation to Manager for leasing fees pursuant to Section 5.2.
8.5    Third-Party Management Services.  Manager acknowledges that from time to time 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 other services to be provided by Manager with respect to all Properties acquired by Owner hereunder.  Upon the prior written consent of Manager, Owner shall have the authority to acquire such 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, however, that Manager shall have no liability or responsibility to Owner for any of the duties and obligations undertaken by such third party, and Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Manager Indemnified Parties, from and against all Losses incurred by any of them 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 no obligation to Manager for compensation for such services pursuant to Article V.  Manager hereby consents to any Third-Party Management Agreements existing as of the date hereof, which are described on Schedule C attached hereto.  
8.6    No Waiver.  The failure of Owner to seek redress for violation or to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver thereof for the future.


21









8.7    Amendments.  Except as this Agreement is amended by a Property Amendment, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.
8.8    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.
8.9    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed with counterpart signatures 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.
8.10    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the Property Amendments) contains the entire understanding and all agreements between Owner and Manager respecting the management of the Properties.  There are no representations, agreements, arrangements or understandings, oral or written, between Owner and Manager relating to the management of the Properties that are not fully expressed herein.
8.11    Disputes.  If there shall be a dispute between Owner and Manager relating to this Agreement resulting in litigation, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover from the other party to such litigation such amount as the court shall fix as reasonable attorneys’ fees.
8.12    Activities of Manager.  The obligations of Manager pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed to preclude 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.
8.13    Independent Contractor.  Manager and Owner shall not be construed as joint venturers or partners of each other pursuant to this Agreement, and neither shall have the power to bind or obligate the other except as set forth herein.  In all respects, the status of Manager to Owner under this Agreement is that of an independent contractor.
8.14    No Third-Party Rights.  Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as shall inure to any Person entitled to indemnification under Sections 2.7, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 6.5, 8.4 and 8.5 and to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to Section 8.3.
8.15    Ownership of Proprietary Property.  Manager retains ownership of and reserves all Intellectual Property Rights in the Proprietary Property.  To the extent that Owner has or obtains any claim to any right, title or interest in the Proprietary Property, including without limitation in any suggestions, enhancements or contributions that Owner may provide regarding the Proprietary Property, Owner hereby assigns and transfers exclusively to Manager all right, title and interest, including without limitation all Intellectual Property Rights, free and clear of 


22









any liens, encumbrances or licenses in favor of Owner or any other party, in and to the Proprietary Property.  In addition, at Manager’s expense, Owner will perform any acts that may be deemed desirable by Manager to evidence more fully the transfer of ownership of right, title and interest in the Proprietary Property to Manager, including but not limited to the execution of any instruments or documents now or hereafter requested by Manager to perfect, defend or confirm the assignment described herein, in a form determined by Manager.
8.16    The Lightstone Name. The Manager and its Affiliates have or may have a proprietary interest in the name “Lightstone”.  The Manager hereby grants to Owner, to the extent of any proprietary interest the Manager may have in the name “Lightstone”, a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the name “Lightstone” during the term of this Agreement. Owner agrees that the Manager and its Affiliates will have the right to approve any use by Owner of the name “Lightstone”, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time Owner ceases to retain the Manager or one of its Affiliates to perform services for Owner, Owner will, promptly after receipt of a written request from the Manager, cease to conduct business under or use the name “Lightstone” or any derivative thereof and Owner shall change its name and the names of any of its subsidiaries to a name that does not contain the name “Lightstone” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Manager, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between Owner and the Manager or any its Affiliates. At such time, Owner also will make any changes to any trademarks, servicemarks or other marks necessary to remove any references to the word “Lightstone”.  Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Manager or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having the name “Lightstone” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by Owner. Neither the Manager nor any of its Affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the name “Lightstone” licensed hereunder or the use thereof (including, without limitation, as to whether the use of the name “Lightstone” will be free from infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties). Notwithstanding the preceding, the Manager represents and warrants that it is not aware of any pending claims or litigation or of any claims threatened in writing regarding the use or ownership of the name “Lightstone”.
8.17    Non-Solicitation.  During the period commencing on the date on which this Agreement is entered into and ending one year following the termination of this Agreement, Owner shall not, without Manager’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit or encourage any person to leave the employment or other service of Manager or its affiliates, or (b) hire, on behalf of Owner or any other person or entity, any person who has within the prior year left his or her employment with Manager or its affiliates.  During the period commencing on the date hereof through and ending one year following the termination of this Agreement, Owner shall not, whether for its own account or for the account of any other person, firm, corporation or other business organization, intentionally interfere with the relationship of Manager or its affiliates with, or endeavor to entice away from Manager or its affiliates, any person who during the term of the Agreement is, or during the preceding one-year period was, a customer of 


23









Manager its affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of Owner under this section shall be waived and shall not apply in the following circumstances:
(i)     (A) Manager files for a voluntary petition under Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §101, et seq., as amended from time to time, or any successor statute or statutes (the “Bankruptcy Code”) Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy, receivership or insolvency law; or (B) an involuntary petition is filed against Manager under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy, receivership or insolvency law, and such petition or proceeding has not been dismissed or terminated within sixty (60) days of such filing; or
(ii)    in the event Manager either (A) terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 because Manager is no longer in the business of providing property management services or (B) materially breaches its obligations to provide the services set forth herein, and such material breach continues uncured for fifteen (15) business days after the date Owner has given Manager written notice of such material breach pursuant to Section 8.1.
8.18    Rules of Construction.  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement.  The recitals constitute an integral part of this Agreement and hereby are incorporated by reference in this Section 8.18.  This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes”, “including” or “such as” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “, but not limited to,”, whether or not they are in fact followed by those words or words of like import.
