If such an election is made by the Executive Committee of Owner, Owner and Manager shall meet and confer to address appropriate changes to Manager’s scope of services and fees provided under the DMA.

A failure of the Owner (via a Majority Approval of the Executive Committee) to reply to the Second Notice within 24 hours of the transmission of the Second Notice shall be deemed an Approval by Owner. A meeting of the Executive Committee may be called by any Member, within the applicable 5-business day period (or, if applicable, 24-hour period), for purposes of considering such a request for approval, and Manager shall assist in facilitating such a meeting.

(o) making contributions (x) in any amount to political organizations or campaigns, or (y) to any charitable organization in excess of $5,000 per individual contribution and $50,000, in the aggregate, in any Fiscal Year.”
3.Employees and Staffing. Section 3.5 of the DMA is hereby amended and restated effective as of the First Amendment Effective Date, but not before then (except as provided below), as follows:
"3.5 Employees and Staffing.
(a)▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is the President of Manager as of October 1, 2021 (the "President"), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is the CEO of Manager as of February 9, 2022.

(b)[Intentionally omitted]
(c)[Intentionally omitted]
(d)The CEO, President, and the employees of Manager performing the Manager Services on behalf of Manager shall be employees of Manager and not Owner. Subject to Section 2.4, Manager may engage any other independent contractors (provided that no such independent contractors shall be deemed in any respect to be employees (or independent contractors) of Owner). In addition, Manager shall have the right to engage one or more Independent Contractors or Contractors on behalf of Owner or a Contracting Subsidiary (subject to the limitations in Section 2.4(n), above). Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall modify the DMA requirement for competitive bidding, or the limitation on such requirement set forth in Section 2.2(f). For the avoidance of doubt, any such Independent Contractors engaged by Manager on behalf of Owner in accordance with the second preceding sentence shall be at Owner's sole cost and expense, and any Contractor or Independent Contractor engaged by a Contracting Subsidiary shall be at such Contracting Subsidiary's sole cost and expense. The compensation, retention and performance of the President, the employees of Manager performing the Manager Services on behalf of Manager, and any independent contractors engaged by Manager on its own behalf shall be determined by Manager and (subject to Section 4.2) payable solely by Manager. Manager shall be responsible for complying with all Laws and regulations and collective bargaining agreements affecting such employment, including the provision at
-4-
Manager's expense of any benefits or compensation required by statute or contract.
(e)In addition to the quarterly meetings of the Executive Committee as contemplated under the JV Agreement, Manager shall organize and conduct a telephonic/video call with the members of the Executive Committee of the Joint Venture, on a monthly basis, in order to apprise Owner as to the status of the Property and progress against the Approved Business Plan, and consult with Owner regarding ongoing entitlement, development and sale activities and strategic initiatives relating thereto, including providing or making available to Owner copies of all material correspondence and other material information received by Manager with respect to the Property, such as, proposals and/or offers for the sale of Commercial Property.”
4.Base Fee. Effective as of the First Amendment Effective Date and during Fiscal Year 2022, the Base Fee shall be equal to Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000), which shall be payable as follows: (i) $1,235,336 for the month of January; (ii) $1,262,175 for the month of February; (iii) $900,000 per month for the months of March of April; (iv) $702,489 for the month of May; and (v) $1,000,000 per month for each month for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2022 (June through December).
5.Project Team Budget; Project Team Reimbursement. Effective as of the First Amendment Effective Date, Section 4.2 of the DMA is hereby deleted in its entirety.
6.Term; Termination.
(a)Initial Term. The Initial Term is hereby deemed extended through December 31, 2022.
(b)First Renewal Term. Notwithstanding that the Initial Term has been extended through December 31, 2022, the Parties acknowledge that the extension of the Initial Term through December 31, 2022 does not constitute the “First Renewal Term” and this Amendment does not constitute the “First Renewal Term Modification” as such terms are defined in and contemplated under the DMA.
(c)Project Team Reimbursement. For the sake of clarification, all references to “Project Team Reimbursements” in the DMA, including Sections 6.2 through 6.9, are no longer applicable as of the First Amendment Effective Date.
(d)Expiration. Effective as of the First Amendment Effective Date, Section 6.9(a)(3) of the DMA is hereby deleted and replaced, as follows:
“(3) Incentive Compensation:
(A) Owner shall pay to Manager any unpaid Incentive Compensation that is due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof
-5-
as of the date of such expiration based on all Available Cash as of the date of such expiration whether or not such Available Cash has been distributed; and
(B) Owner shall continue to make payments to Manager of Incentive Compensation payments in accordance with Section 4.4 of this Agreement following the date of expiration as if this Agreement had not expired, but limited to seventy five percent (75%) of the payments of Incentive Compensation (the “75% Incentive Compensation Adjustment Amount”) that would otherwise be payable pursuant to Section 4.4 (the Parties acknowledging that Manager is 100% vested pursuant to Section 4.4 in such 75% Incentive Compensation)); provided, however, if the Term of this Agreement is not extended beyond December 31, 2022, then, unless otherwise agreed to between Owner and Manager in writing, that portion of the Incentive Compensation paid to Manager during Fiscal Year 2022 that exceeds the 75% Incentive Compensation Adjustment Amount (the “2022 Excess Incentive Comp Amount”) shall be returned to Owner, as follows: as and when Incentive Compensation would otherwise be due and payable to Manager under this Agreement after December 31, 2022 (“Post-2022 Incentive Comp Payments”), the Post-2022 Incentive Comp Payments shall be retained by Owner and applied to repayment of the 2022 Excess Incentive Comp Amount until such time that the 2022 Excess Incentive Comp Amount has been returned in full to Owner. In furtherance of the foregoing, it is acknowledged that the 2022 Excess Incentive Comp Amount (if applicable) shall not be treated as Incentive Compensation having been received by Manager pursuant to Section 2(g)(i) of Exhibit B hereof.”
7.Notices. The addresses for notices to the Parties are updated as set forth below, and delivery of a notice, demand, request or other communication by email is hereinafter deemed a permitted delivery method and facsimile is no longer a permitted delivery method pursuant to Section 9.4 of the DMA.
