Expenses.  Except as otherwise specifically provided, all costs
and expenses incurred hereunder by the Manager in fulfilling its duties to the

maintenance and leasing of the Properties, including taxes, insurance and

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

    MANAGER’S
COMPENSATION

Fees.

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (a)

            	
              The
      Owner shall pay the Manager property management and leasing fees (the
      “Management
      Fees”), on a monthly basis, (i) for non-hotel properties, equal to
      four percent (4.0%) of gross revenues collected from such properties, plus
      market-based leasing commissions applicable to the geographic location of
      the property, and (ii) for all hotel properties, a fee based on a
      percentage of gross revenues collected from such hotel at a market rate in
      light of the size, type and location of the hotel property, plus a
      customary incentive fee based on performance.  Except as
      otherwise set forth herein, the Owner shall also reimburse the Manager for
      any costs and expenses incurred by the Manager in connection with managing
      the Properties.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (b)

            	
              The
      Manager may charge a separate fee for the one-time initial rent-up or
      leasing-up of newly constructed Properties 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.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (c)

            	
              Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, the Manager may be entitled to receive higher fees in the
      event the Manager can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the board of
      directors of the Company (including a majority of the Independent
      Directors) through empirical data that a higher competitive fee is
      justified for the services rendered and the type of Property
      managed.  As described in Section 2.6
      above, in the event that the Manager properly engages one or more third
      parties to perform the services described herein, the fees payable to such
      parties for such services will be deducted from the Management Fees, or
      paid directly by the Manager, at the Manager’s option.  The
      Manager’s compensation under this Section 4.1
      shall apply to all renewals, extensions or expansions of leases which the
      Manager originally negotiated.

            


    

     

    4.2           Additional
Fees.  In the event that the Manager provides services other
than those specified herein, the Owner shall pay to the Manager a monthly fee
equal to no more than that which the Owner would pay to a third party that is
not an Affiliate of the Owner or the Manager to provide such
services.

     

    4.3           Audit
Adjustment.  If any audit of the records, books or accounts
relating to the Properties discloses an overpayment or underpayment of
Management Fees, the Owner or the 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, the
Manager shall bear the cost of such audit.

      the Owner and the Manager and shall contain waivers of subrogation for the
      benefit of the Manager.

              The
      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 the
      Manager at the Properties and all persons engaged in the performance of
      any work required hereunder, and the Manager shall furnish the Owner
      certificates of insurers naming the Owner as a co-insured and evidencing
      that such insurance is in effect.  If any of the Manager’s
      duties hereunder are subcontracted as permitted under Section 2.6,
      the Manager shall include in each subcontract a provision that the
      subcontractor shall also furnish the Owner with such a
      certificate.

            


    

     

    5.2           Cooperation with
Insurers.  The 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.  The Manager shall use its best
efforts to comply with all requirements of insurers.

     

    5.3           Accidents and
Claims.  The Manager shall promptly investigate and report in
detail to the Owner 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 the Owner all reports required by an insurance company in connection
with any such accident, claim, damage, or destruction.  Such reports
shall be given to the 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 report delivered to the Owner pursuant to Section
2.5(b).  The 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
provide receipts for loss proceeds.

     

    5.4           Indemnification.  The
Manager shall hold the Owner harmless from and indemnify and defend the Owner
against any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to any person
or property whatsoever for which the Manager is responsible occurring in, on, or
about the Properties, including, without limitation, the Improvements when such
injury or damage is caused by the negligence or misconduct of the Manager, its
agents, servants, or employees, except to the extent that the Owner recovers
insurance proceeds with respect to such matter.  The Owner will
indemnify and hold the Manager harmless against all liability for injury to
persons and damage to property caused by the Owner’s negligence and which did
not result from the negligence or misconduct of the Manager, except to the
extent the Manager recovers insurance proceeds with respect to such
matter.

    7.2           Governing
Law.  This Management Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard
to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

     

    7.3           Assignment.  Except
as permitted in Section 2.6 hereof,
this Management Agreement may not be assigned by the Manager, except to an
Affiliate of the Manager, and then only upon the consent of the Owner and the
approval of a majority of the Independent Directors.  Any assignee of
the Manager shall be bound hereunder to the same extent as the
Manager.  This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Owner without
the written consent of the Manager, except to a Person which is a successor to
such Owner.  Such successor shall be bound hereunder to the same
extent as such Owner.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the economic rights of the Manager hereunder, including the
right to receive all compensation hereunder, may be sold, transferred or
assigned by the Manager without the consent of the Owner.

     

    7.4           No
Waiver.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a
party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Management
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor
shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any
occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege
with respect to any other occurrences.  No waiver shall be effective
unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such
waiver.

     

    7.5           Amendments.  This
Management 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 Management Agreement are for
reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions
hereof.

     

    7.7           Counterparts.  This
Management Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original as against any party whose signature
appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.  This Management Agreement shall become binding when one
or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the
signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the
signatories.

    7.8           Entire
Agreement.  This Management Agreement contains the entire
agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written,
of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof.

     

    7.9           Disputes.  If
there shall be a dispute between the Owner and the Manager relating to this
Management 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.

     

    7.10         Activities of the
Manager.  The obligations of the Manager pursuant to the terms
and provisions of this Management Agreement shall not be construed to preclude
the Manager from engaging in other activities or business ventures, whether or
not such other activities or ventures are in competition with the Owner or the
business of the Owner.

     

    7.11         Independent
Contractor.  The Manager and the Owner shall not be construed
as joint venturers or partners of each other pursuant to this Management
Agreement, and neither party shall have the power to bind or obligate the other
except as set forth herein.  In all respects, the status of the
Manager to the Owner under this Management Agreement is that of an independent
contractor.

     

    7.12         Pronouns and
Plurals.  Whenever the context may require, any pronoun used in
this Management Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or
neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include
the plural and vice versa.
