knowledge each Property and any equipment thereon comply or when acquired by
Owner will comply with all such requirements and authorizes Manager to disclose
Owner of the Property to any such officials and agrees to indemnify, protect,
defend, save and hold Manager and the other Indemnified Parties harmless of and
from any and all Losses which 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 building on the Property or any equipment therein 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.

3.8 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.

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

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, and legal,
travel and other out-of-pocket expenses which are directly related to the
management of specific Properties. All costs and expenses for which Owner is
responsible under this Management Agreement shall be paid by Manager out of the
Account. In the event said account does not contain sufficient funds to pay all
said expenses, Owner shall fund all sums necessary to meet such additional costs
and expenses.

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

5.1 Management Fees. Commencing on the date hereof, Owner shall pay Manager
property management and leasing fees in an amount equal to four percent (4.0%)
of Gross Revenues (the "Management Fees") on a monthly basis from the rental
income received from the Properties over the term of this Management Agreement.
Manager's compensation under this Section 5.1 shall apply to all renewals,
extensions or expansions of leases which 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 5% of the cost of such
tenant improvements.

5.2 Leasing Fees. In addition to the compensation paid to Manager under Section
5.1 above, 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

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.

the Properties against such hazards as Owner and Manager shall deem appropriate,

naming Owner as a co-insured and evidencing that such insurance is in effect. If
any work under this Management 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 payment sin respect of deductibles shall be Owner expenses
under Section 6.1.

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.

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 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 2.5(b). Manager is

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. Manager shall hold Owner harmless from and indemnify and
defend Owner against any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to
any person or property whatsoever for which Manager is responsible occurring in,

when such injury or damage shall be caused by the negligence of Manager, its
agents, servants, or employees, except to the extent that Owner recovers
insurance proceeds with respect to such matter. Owner will indemnify and hold
Manager harmless against all liability for injury to persons and damage to
property caused by Owner's negligence and which did not result from the
negligence of misconduct of Manager, except to the extent Manager recovers
insurance proceeds with respect to such matter.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                              TERM AND TERMINATION

agree that Manager may withhold funds for sixty (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,

of Manager's obligation to do so, within ten (10) days of receipt of notice and
an itemization of such unpaid bills.
