The Owner hereby engages and retains the Manager as the sole and exclusive manager and agent of the Properties, and the Manager hereby accepts such appointment, all on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, it being understood that this Management Agreement shall cause the Manager to be, at law, the Owner’s agent upon the terms contained herein.

2.2    General Duties. The Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts in performing its duties hereunder to manage, operate, maintain and lease the Properties in a diligent, careful and vigilant manner. The services of the Manager are to be of scope and quality not less than those generally performed by professional property managers of other similar properties in the area. The Manager shall make available to the Owner the full benefit of the judgment, experience and advice of its members and staff with respect to the policies to be pursued by the Owner relating to the operation and leasing of the Properties.

2.3    Specific Duties. The Manager’s duties include the following:

(a) Lease Obligations. The Manager shall perform all duties of the landlord under all leases insofar as such duties relate to the operation, maintenance, and day-to-day management of the Properties. The Manager shall also provide or cause to be provided, at the Owner’s expense, all services normally provided to tenants of like premises, including, where applicable and without limitation, gas, electricity or other utilities required to be furnished to tenants under leases, normal repairs and maintenance, and cleaning and janitorial service. The Manager shall arrange for and supervise the performance of all installations and improvements in space leased to any tenant which are either expressly required under the terms of the lease of such space or which are customarily provided to tenants.

(b) Maintenance. The Manager shall cause the Properties to be maintained in the same manner as similar properties in the area. The Manager’s duties and supervision in this respect shall include, without limitation, cleaning of the interior and the exterior of the Improvements and the public common areas on the Properties and the making and supervision of repair, alterations, and decoration of the Improvements, subject to and in strict compliance with this Management Agreement and any applicable leases. Construction and rehabilitation activities undertaken by the

2

Manager, if any, will be limited to activities related to the management, operation, maintenance, and leasing of the Property (e.g., repairs, renovations, and leasehold improvements).

(c) Leasing Functions. The Manager shall coordinate the leasing of the Properties and shall negotiate and use its best efforts to secure executed leases from qualified tenants, and to execute same on behalf of the Owner, if requested, for available space in the Properties, such leases to be in form and on terms approved by the Owner and the Manager, and to bring about complete leasing of the Properties. The Manager shall be responsible for the hiring of all leasing agents, as necessary for the leasing of the Properties, and to otherwise oversee and manage the leasing process on behalf of the Owner.

(d) Notice of Violations. The Manager shall forward to the Owner, promptly upon receipt, all notices of violation or other notices from any governmental authority, and board of fire underwriters or any insurance company, and shall make such recommendations regarding compliance with such notice as shall be appropriate.

(e) Personnel. Any personnel hired by the Manager to maintain, operate and lease the Property shall be the employees or independent contractors of the Manager and not of the Owner. The Manager shall use due care in the selection and supervision of such employees or independent contractors. The Manager shall be responsible for the preparation of and shall timely file all payroll tax reports and timely make payments of all withholding and other payroll taxes with respect to each employee.

(f) Utilities and Supplies. The Manager shall enter into or renew contracts for electricity, gas, steam, landscaping, fuel, oil, maintenance and other services as are customarily furnished or rendered in connection with the operation of similar rental property in the area.

(g) Expenses. The Manager shall analyze all bills received for services, work and supplies in connection with maintaining and operating the Properties, pay all such bills, and, if requested by the Owner, pay, when due, utility and water charges, sewer rent and assessments, any applicable taxes, including, without limitation, any real estate taxes, and any other amount payable in respect to the Properties. All bills shall be paid by the Manager within the time required to obtain discounts, if any. The Owner may from time to time request that the Manager forward certain bills to the Owner promptly after receipt, and the Manager shall comply with any such request. The payment of all bills, real property taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and any other amounts payable with respect to the Properties shall be paid out of the Account by the Manager. All expenses shall be billed at net cost (i.e., less all rebates, commissions, discounts and allowances, however designed).

(h) Monies Collected. The Manager shall collect all rent and other monies from tenants and any sums otherwise due to the Owner with respect to the Properties in the ordinary course of business. In collecting such monies, the Manager shall inform tenants of the Properties that all remittances are to be in the form of a check or money order. The Owner authorizes the Manager to request, demand, collect and provide receipts for all such rent and other monies and to institute legal proceedings in the name of the Owner for the collection thereof and for the dispossession of any tenant in default under its lease.

(i) Banking Accommodations. The Manager shall establish and maintain a separate checking account (the “Account”) for funds relating to the Properties. All monies deposited from time to time in the Account shall be deemed to be trust funds and shall be and remain the property of the Owner and shall be withdrawn and disbursed by the Manager for the account of the Owner only as expressly permitted by this Management Agreement for the purposes of performing the obligations of the Manager hereunder. No monies collected by the Manager on the Owner’s

3

behalf shall be commingled with funds of the Manager. The Account shall be maintained, and monies shall be deposited therein and withdrawn therefrom, in accordance with the following:

(i) All sums received from rents and other income from the Properties shall be promptly deposited by the Manager in the Account. The Manager shall have the right to designate two (2) or more Persons who shall be authorized to draw against the Account, but only for purposes authorized by this Management Agreement.

(ii) All sums due to the Manager hereunder, whether for compensation, reimbursement for expenditures, or otherwise, as herein provided, shall be a charge against the operating revenues of the Properties and shall be paid and/or withdrawn by the Manager from the Account prior to the making of any other disbursements therefrom.

(j) Tenant Complaints. The Manager shall maintain business-like relations with the tenants of the Properties.

(k) Ownership Agreements. The Manager has received copies of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the OP, Articles of Incorporation and the other constitutive documents of the Owner (collectively, the “Ownership Agreements”) and is familiar with the terms thereof. The Manager shall use reasonable care to avoid any act or omission which, in the performance of its duties hereunder, shall in any way conflict with the terms of the Ownership Agreements.

(l) Signs. The Manager shall place and remove, or cause to be placed and removed, such signs upon the Properties as the Manager deems appropriate, subject, however, to the terms and conditions of the leases and to any applicable ordinances and regulations.

The Owner and Persons designated by the Owner shall at all reasonable times have access to and the right to audit and make independent examinations of such records, books and accounts and all vouchers, files and all other material pertaining to the Properties and this Management Agreement, all of which the Manager agrees to keep safe, available and separate from any records not pertaining to the Properties, at a place recommended by the Manager and approved by the Owner.

Each Budget and Plan shall be in the form approved by the Owner prior to the date thereof. As often as reasonably necessary during the period covered by any Budget or Plan, the Manager may submit to the Owner for its approval an updated Budget or Plan incorporating such changes as shall be necessary to reflect cost overruns and the like during such period. If the Owner does not disapprove a Budget or Plan within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof by the Owner, such Budget or Plan shall be deemed approved. If the Owner shall disapprove any Budget or Plan, it shall so notify the Manager within said thirty (30) day period and explain the reasons therefor.

ARTICLE III    

EXPENSES

Except as otherwise specifically provided, all costs and expenses incurred hereunder by the Manager in fulfilling its duties to the Owner shall be for the account of and on behalf of the Owner. The Owner shall reimburse the Manager for property-level expenses that the Manager pays or incurs on Owner’s behalf, including reasonable salaries, bonuses and benefits of individuals employed by the Manager, except for the salaries, bonuses and benefits of individuals who also serve as one of the Owner’s executive officers or as an executive officer of the Manager or any of its Affiliates. 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.

3.2    Manager’s Expenses. The Manager shall, out of its own funds, pay all of its general overhead and administrative expenses.

ARTICLE IV    

MANAGER’S COMPENSATION

4.1    Management Fees.

(a)    The Owner shall pay the Manager property management fees (the “Management Fees”), on a monthly basis, equal to:  (i) with respect to non-hotel Properties, four percent (4.0%) of Gross Revenues from the Properties managed, plus market-based leasing commissions applicable to the geographic location of the Property; and (ii) with respect to 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)    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.  If 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.
