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

notice to Manager if Owner desires that Manager make any extraordinary payment,

MANAGER'S COMPENSATION
5.1 Management and Leasing Fees. Commencing on the date hereof, Owner shall
pay Manager property management fees in an amount equal to the lesser of (a)
fees which are competitive for similar services in the same geographic area or
(b) (1) in the case of industrial and commercial properties which are not leased
on a long-term (ten or more years) net lease basis, four percent (4.0%) of Gross
Revenues and (2) in the case of industrial and commercial properties which are
leased on a long-term (ten or more years) net lease basis, one percent (1.0%) of
Gross Revenues plus a one-time initial leasing fee of three percent (3.0%) of
Gross Revenues on each lease payable over the first five full years of the
original term of the lease. As used herein, the term "net lease" shall mean a
lease which requires the tenant to coordinate and pay directly all real estate
taxes, sales and use taxes, utilities, insurance and other operating expenses
relating to the leased property. In addition, except to the extent that
compensation for leasing services is specifically included in the foregoing
property management fees, Owner shall also pay Manager a separate fee for the
leases of new tenants and renewals of leases with existing tenants in an amount
not to exceed the fee customarily charged by others rendering similar services
in the same geographic area; provided, however, that in no event may the
aggregate of all property management fees and leasing fees paid to Manager
exceed six percent (6.0%) of Gross Revenues, and further provided that the
foregoing limitation is not intended to preclude the payment of a separate
competitive fee for the one-time initial rent-up or leasing-up of a newly
constructed property or the total rehabilitation of a property if such service
is not included in the purchase price of the property. The property management
fees payable hereunder shall be paid 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 that 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 five percent (5.0%) of
the cost of such tenant improvements.
5.2 Audit Adjustment. If any audit of the records, books or accounts

Manager for any sums of money due it under this Agreement for services and

County, Texas.
8.3 Assignment. Manager may delegate partially or in full its duties and
rights under this Management Agreement but only with the prior written consent
of Owner. Owner acknowledges and agrees that any or all of the duties of Manager
as contained herein may be delegated by Manager and performed by a person or
entity ("Submanager") with whom Manager contracts for the purpose of performing
such duties. Owner specifically grants Manager the authority to enter into such
a contract with a Submanager; provided that, unless Owner otherwise agrees in
writing with such Submanager, Owner shall have no liability or responsibility to
any such Submanager for the payment of the Submanager's fee or for reimbursement
to the Submanager of its expenses or to indemnify the Submanager in any manner
for any matter; and provided further that Manager shall require such Submanager
to agree, in the written agreement setting forth the duties and obligations of
such Submanager, to indemnify Owner for all Losses incurred by Owner as a result
of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Submanager, except that
such indemnity shall not be required to the extent that
-13-
Owner recovers insurance proceeds with respect to such matter. Any contract
entered into between Manager and a Submanager pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall
be consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, except to the extent Owner
otherwise specifically agrees in writing. This Management Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns.
8.4 Third Party Leasing Services. Manager acknowledges that from time to
time Owner may determine that it is in the best interests of Owner to retain a
third party to provide certain leasing services with respect to certain
Properties and to compensate such third party for such leasing services. Upon
the prior written consent of Manager, Owner shall have the authority to enter
into such a contract for leasing services with a third party (a "Third Party
Leasing Agreement"); provided that Manager shall have no liability or
responsibility to Owner for any of the duties and obligations undertaken by such
party, and Owner agrees to indemnify Manager for all Losses incurred by Manager
as a result of acts of such third party pursuant to the Third Party Leasing
Agreement. To the extent that leasing services are specifically required to be

Manager shall have no obligation to perform such leasing services and Owner
shall have no obligation to Manager for leasing fees pursuant to Section 5.1
hereof.
8.5 Third Party Management Services. Manager acknowledges that from time to
time Owner may acquire interests in Properties in which Owner does not control
the determination of the party that is engaged to provide property management
and other services to be provided by Manager with respect to all Properties
acquired by Owner hereunder. Upon the prior written consent of Manager, Owner
shall have the authority to acquire such non-controlling interests in Properties
for which a third party provides some or all of the services otherwise required
to be performed by Manager hereunder (a "Third Party Management Agreement");
provided that Manager shall have no liability or responsibility to Owner for any
of the duties and obligations undertaken by such third party, and Owner agrees
to indemnify Manager for all Losses incurred by Manager as a result of the acts
of such third party pursuant to the Third Party Management Agreement. To the
extent that property management and other services are specifically required to
be performed by a third party pursuant to such Third Party Management Agreement,
Manager shall have no obligation to perform such services and Owner shall have
no obligation to Manager for compensation for such services pursuant to Section
5.1 hereof.
8.6 No Waiver. The failure of Owner to seek redress for violation or to
insist upon the strict performance of any covenant or condition of this
Management Agreement shall not constitute a waiver thereof for the future.

instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the
amendment is sought.
8.8 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

necessary in making proof of this Management Agreement to produce or account for
more than one such counterpart.
8.10 Entire Agreement. This Management Agreement contains the entire
understanding and all agreements between Owner and Manager respecting the
management of the Properties, and supersedes and replaces the Original
Management Agreement in its entirety. There are no representations, agreements,
arrangements or understandings, oral or written, between Owner and Manager
relating to the management of the Properties that are not fully expressed
herein.

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.
8.12 Activities of Manager. The obligations of Manager pursuant to the terms
and provisions of this Management Agreement shall not be construed to preclude
Manager from engaging in other activities or business ventures, whether or not
such other activities or ventures are in competition with Owner or the business
of Owner.
8.13 Independent Contractor. Manager and Owner shall not be construed as
joint venturers or partners of each other pursuant to this Management Agreement,
and neither shall have the power to bind or obligate the other except as set
forth herein. In all respects, the status of Manger to Owner under this
Agreement is that of an independent contractor.
8.14 No Third-Party Rights. Nothing expressed or referred to in this
Management Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties
to this Management Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
or with respect to this Management Agreement or any provision of this Management
Agreement, except such rights as shall inure to a successor or permitted
assignee pursuant to Section 8.3.
8.15 Ownership of Proprietary Property. The Manager retains ownership of and
reserves all Intellectual Property Rights in the Proprietary Property. To the
extent that Owner has or obtains any claim to any right, title or interest in
the Proprietary Property, including without limitation in any suggestions,
enhancements or contributions that Owner may provide regarding the Proprietary
Property, Owner hereby assigns and transfers exclusively to the Manager all
right, title and interest, including without limitation all Intellectual
Property Rights, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or licenses in favor
of Owner or any other party, in and to the Proprietary Property. In addition, at
the Manager's expense, Owner will perform any acts that may be deemed desirable
by the Manager to evidence more fully the transfer of ownership of right, title
and interest in the Proprietary Property to the Manager, including but not
limited to the execution of any instruments or documents now or hereafter
requested by the Manager to perfect, defend or confirm the assignment described
herein, in a form determined by the Manager.
