Owner has engaged Manager pursuant to the Property Management Agreement to manage the Properties, including without limitation, to provide the Services thereunder. In furtherance of the delivery of the Services by Manager pursuant to the Property Management Agreement, Owner and Manager hereby agree as follows:

1 A Manager Termination Event shall occur upon the occurrence of any event set forth in Schedule 1 hereto.

2 With respect to any Property repair or maintenance expense related to a Property, if such expense is estimated to exceed $800 (with respect to any single work order), Manager shall obtain Owner’s prior consent to incurring such expense; provided, however, that upon receipt of notice from Manager of any such expense, Owner shall provide its approval or denial within 24 hours after receipt of notice by Owner and if Owner has not provided a denial, its approval shall be deemed to have been provided; provided, further, however, that if any such expense would give rise to a breach by Owner of Section 4.4.3 of the Loan Agreement relating to habitability, then no such prior consent shall be required.

3 With respect to any costs related to renovating a Property following the termination of a lease, if the aggregate of such expenses for such Property is estimated to exceed $1,000 , Manager shall obtain Owner’s prior consent to incurring such expense; provided, however, that upon receipt of notice from Manager of any such expense, Owner shall provide its approval or denial within three (3) business days after receipt of notice by Owner and if Owner has not provided a denial, its approval shall be deemed to have been provided.

Concessions include rent forgiveness, cost reimbursement, temporary or permanent relocation from the Property, fee waivers, release from lease and lease terms (collectively, “Tenant Concessions”). Manager shall request prior approval by Owner for any Tenant Concession greater than one month’s rent which shall be deemed approved if not denied within 2 (two) Business Days of request and Manager may agree to any Tenant Concession without prior approval if Manager reasonably deems the Tenant Concession necessary or desirable to ensure habitability or in mitigation of risk or costs.

Each month, Manager shall report to Owner all Tenant Concessions, all tenant and third party escalation complaints, all actual or threatened litigation and all settlements of disputes with tenants.

5 During each conference call between Owner and Manager, Manager will provide the information set forth on Schedule 2 hereto, as may be revised from time to time by the Owner and the Manager.

6 This Side Letter shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, including General Obligations Law §5-1401, but otherwise without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

7 EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SAID COURTS FOR ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SAID COURTS.

8 Any amendment of this Side Letter may be made only by a written instrument executed by Manager and Owner. No waiver by any party of any obligation of the other party, or any breach or default by the other party in the performance by such party of its obligations hereunder, shall be binding or enforceable except to the extent set forth in a writing signed by the party sought to be charged thereby.

10 Notwithstanding anything in this Side Letter to the contrary, Owner shall have no obligation to pay any amount required to be paid by it hereunder in excess of any amount available to it after it has paid all amounts due and payable by it under the Loan Agreement. All payment obligations of Owner hereunder are contingent on the availability of funds in excess of the amounts due and payable by it under the Loan Agreement (“Available Funds”) and Manager agrees that it will not have a claim against Owner under Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code if and to the extent that any such payment obligation owed to Manager by Owner exceeds Available Funds; provided that, upon and during the continuance of the absence of Available Funds, the Manager shall without any liability or obligation whatsoever be permitted to suspend performance of its obligations hereunder.
