(b)           Property Manager shall diligently perform its duties hereunder and shall devote sufficient time and effort to the Premises to insure that it manages the same in a manner commensurate with that of a first-class property manager of real estate developments of comparable size, character and quality to that of the Premises.  In addition to providing services specifically set forth in this Agreement, Property Manager shall perform such additional services as Owner may reasonably request in connection with the Premises, consistent with the status, type, size, quality and location of the Premises.  Property Manager shall act in a fiduciary capacity with respect to the proper protection of and accounting for Owner’s assets.

Property Manager shall have no authority to take any action, expend any sum, make any decision or incur any obligation on behalf of Owner with respect to any Major Decision, unless such Major Decision has been expressly approved by Owner.

1.6           Related Party Contracts.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, regardless of whether such transaction is contemplated in any approved Budget, Property Manager shall have no authority to enter into or consummate any transaction or arrangement with itself or any Affiliate of Property Manager, or any partner, member, shareholder or other beneficial owner of any of the foregoing, or any other transaction in which Property Manager or any Affiliate of Property Manager has an actual or potential conflict of interest, without the express written consent and approval of Owner.  As a condition to obtaining such consent, Property Manager shall supply Owner with a copy of the proposed contract and shall state to Owner the affiliation or relationship between Property Manager or any of its Affiliates (or the person or persons in control of any of the foregoing or any of their Affiliates) and the party proposed to supply such goods or services, or both.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, (a) any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person, or (b) any other Person owning or controlling ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding voting interest of such Person, or (c) any officer, director, general partner or managing member of such Person, or (d) any other Person which is an officer, director, general partner, managing member or holder of  ten percent (10%) or more of the voting interests of any other Person described in clauses (a) through (c) of this definition.  For purposes of the definition of Affiliate, the term “control” (whether controlling, controlled by or under common control with), when used with respect to any Person means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.  The term “Person” means any individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, trust or other entity.

(b)           Unless otherwise directed by Owner, Property Manager shall, solely with respect to the operation of the Premises and then only when supplied with sufficient mortgage information, use reasonable efforts to cause the operation of the Premises to comply with (i) all terms, conditions, covenants and obligations contained in any applicable mortgage or loan, including (without limitation) the obligation to prepare and deliver required financial statements and materials with respect to Owner and/or the Premises, or any substitute thereof, of which Property Manager is made aware, (ii) any and all leases or licenses at the Premises, (iii) organizational documents of Owner, of which Property Manager is made aware, and (iv) other agreements of which Property Manager is made aware that are executed by Owner and that relate to the Premises; provided, however, that it shall not be deemed a failure by Property Manager to perform its duties hereunder to the extent that the performance of any such duties require the expenditure of funds which are not made available to Property Manager for such purposes.  Property Manager acknowledges that the terms and provisions of any applicable mortgage or loan may provide different standards or requirements with respect to certain matters

covered by this Agreement, and to the extent the provisions of this Agreement are inconsistent with restrictions imposed by any applicable mortgage or loan, the provisions of such mortgage or loan shall govern with respect to the matters covered hereby.  Property Manager agrees that so long as any such mortgage shall constitute a lien on all or any portion of the Premises, when any lender shall request in writing copies of any and all financial and other information required to be prepared or maintained by Owner pursuant to the terms and provisions of any loan agreement, Property Manager shall, at Owner’s expense, deliver same to such lender as often as such lender may request or as often as Owner may reasonably request.  Moreover, Property Manager shall allow, upon request of Owner, or any of its partners, members or shareholders, any person designated in writing by such lender to examine, audit, inspect and transcribe all books of accounts and other records relating to or reflecting the operation of the Premises (or any portion thereof).

1.8           Environmental Matters.  During the term of this Agreement, Property Manager will refrain from taking any action which would violate any Environmental Law.  To the extent it is necessary to conduct any Environmental Activity in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, all Environmental Activities shall comply in all material respects with all Environmental Laws.  In the event Property Manager is grossly negligent with regard to or willfully violates the foregoing covenant, Property Manager agrees to indemnify and defend Owner, its Affiliates and the partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors and agents of any of the foregoing (collectively, with the Owner, the “Owner Indemnified Parties”) and hold each of the Owner Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any resulting loss, cost, damage, claim or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees, accountant fees, consultant fees, court costs and interests), including from bodily injury or tangible property damage (collectively “Losses”) incurred by any Owner Indemnified Party.  The indemnities provided by Property Manager above shall apply whether or not such Losses are covered by insurance; provided the obligation of Property Manager with respect to such Losses shall be reduced by the amount of any such insurance actually collected by the indemnified party with respect to such Losses.  As used herein, the term “Environmental Law” means any and all federal, state and local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, judgments, orders, decrees, permits, licenses or other governmental restrictions or requirements relating to the environment and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto.  The term “Environmental Activity” means any present or future storage, holding, existence, release, threatened release, emission, discharge,

1.9           REIT Limitations.  Property Manager acknowledges that Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust, an indirect owner of Owner, is an entity subject to tax as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under Sections 856 through and including 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the “Code”), and as such, certain limitations apply to Owner, its assets, income and operations (“REIT Restrictions”).  Property Manager agrees to cooperate with Owner in connection with any such REIT Restrictions to which it is made aware (including the implementation thereof) and to use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such REIT Restrictions and any and all related directives, written policies and instructions received from Owner.  Such REIT Restrictions include, but are not limited to, the following:

(c)           Property Manager shall not propose or enter into any Lease or consent to any sublease or assignment with respect to any real or personal property if the determination of any amount under such lease, sublease or assignment depends in whole or in part on the income or profits derived by any person from such property; provided, however, that percentage rent based on gross income of the tenant is acceptable.

(d)           Property Manager shall not propose any transaction or enter into any transaction that would result in Owner receiving or accruing any amount that constitutes “impermissible tenant services income” (as defined in and for purposes of Code

5




Section 856(d)(7)(A)) in respect of any real or personal property of the Owner that exceeds 1% of all amounts received or accrued during a taxable year with respect to any such property.

2.2           Bank Accounts.  Owner anticipates establishing a depository account (the “Depository Account”) at a bank selected by Owner, including as required by any lender (which bank or any replacement bank named by Owner is the “Bank”), to which Depository Account all the Tenants are to send all rents, revenues and payments due or to become due under the Leases.  Owner has instructed or will instruct the Bank to deposit the funds so received into the Depository Account; and subject to any requirements of any lender, Owner anticipates instructing the Bank to transfer sufficient funds from the applicable Depository Account for the Premises to a separate operating account for the Premises (the “Operating Account”), as established by Owner at the Bank, sufficient to cover the projected disbursements from the Operating Account.  Owner shall have the right to approve the persons having signing authority with respect to the Operating Accounts; and provided further that any check or withdrawal for an amount of $10,000.00 or more shall require two signatures.

2.3           Reports.  As to the Premises, Property Manager agrees to render to Owner, on or before the tenth (10th) day of each month for the preceding month in a form as reasonably required and detailed in advance from time to time by Owner, the statements and the other reports listed in Exhibit C (the “Reports”).

2.4           Records.  Property Manager agrees to maintain, in its offices in Burlington, Massachusetts, current and accurate records and accounts of all transactions pertaining to the operation of the Premises and the funds received and disbursed incident thereto, such records and accounts to be maintained on an accrual and cash basis in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis from year to year, using Owner’s MRI accounting software (through an internet

12




logon), or any reasonable substitute proposed by Owner and approved by Property Manager (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).  Such files, books and records shall at all times be the property of Owner.  After the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Property Manager shall retain canceled checks as to the Premises (except canceled checks forwarded to Owner in lieu of receipts), all employment records, and all other records with respect to the management or operation of the Premises as provided in Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof.  This Section 2.4 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

2.5           Accounting Controls.  Property Manager shall ensure such control over accounting and financial transactions as is reasonably required to protect Owner’s assets from loss or diminution due to error or fraudulent activity on the part of Property Manager’s associates or employees.

2.6           Proposed Operating Budgets.  Not later than October 1, as to the succeeding calendar year, Property Manager shall prepare and submit in draft form to Owner, at the addresses set forth in Exhibit B for Owner, a proposed operating budget for the promotion, operation, repair and maintenance of the Premises.  It is understood and agreed that, in order to prepare said proposed operating budgets, Property Manager must have received a budget of leasing expenses from the leasing agent for the Premises and Owner will cause the leasing agents (other than Property Manager) to provide to Property Manager a budget of leasing expenses not later than each September 15th, commencing September 15, 2007, as to the succeeding fiscal year.  Owner has the exclusive right and power to approve any such proposed form of budget, together with any revisions made by Owner, and if Property Manager fails to timely prepare and submit in draft form any such proposed budget, Owner is authorized to prepare such budget.

2.7           Approved Budget.  (a) Owner will consider the proposed budgets and will then consult with Property Manager in the ensuing period prior to the commencement of the next succeeding calendar year in order to authorize an approved budget (as approved by Owner, the “Budget”) for the Premises for the next succeeding calendar year.  If by January 1 of each fiscal year, Owner has not authorized an approved Budget as to the Premises for such year, then;

(i)            any items or portions thereof and amounts of expenses which have been so approved, shall become operative immediately and Property Manager shall be entitled to expend funds in accordance with those operative provisions (without duplication); and

(ii)           Property Manager will be entitled to expend, in respect of non-capital, recurring expenses in any quarter of the then current fiscal year, an amount equal to the lesser of actual expenses incurred or the amount for such non-capital, recurring expenses in the approved Budget for the corresponding quarter of the immediately preceding fiscal year, as set forth on the immediately preceding approved Budget, after giving effect to any dispositions or other material changes to the Premises during the prior or current year.

(b)           The parties anticipate agreeing to an initial approved Budget within thirty (30) days of the execution of this Agreement.  In the absence of an approved Budget, the

13




Property Manager shall have no authority to authorize or approve any matter or take any action, expend any sum, make any decision or incur any obligation on behalf of Owner or any of its Affiliates, without the express written consent or approval of the Owner.

(c)           Property Manager shall secure Owner’s prior written approval for any expenditure that would, together with other expenses incurred to date or projected to be incurred for the remainder of such fiscal year, result in an excess over the annual Budgeted amount for the Premises in any one accounting category of the Budget for the Premises equal to the greater of $5,000 or five percent (5%) of the applicable Budget line item amount (on a per property basis); provided, however, in the event Property Manager reasonably believes that an expenditure in excess of such permitted amounts is necessary to prevent imminent harm to persons or property at the Premises or to prevent an imminent threat of suspension of essential services to the Premises (“Emergencies”), Property Manager is authorized to incur and pay such sum on behalf of Owner (not to exceed $25,000 per year in the aggregate for each such Emergency, or such additional amount as reasonably necessary with regard to Emergencies that are life threatening to persons at the Premises, not to exceed $50,000 per year in the aggregate for all such Emergencies), provided, however, to the extent reasonably practical, prior to taking any action or expending any funds pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.7, Property Manager shall provide Owner with prompt written notice of its intention to act in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7 (together with Property Manager’s best estimate of the cost to be incurred or the funds to be expended) prior to the taking of such action or expending such funds, and in the event such prior written notice is not practical, Property Manager may act without such notice and without Owner’s consent, provided Property Manager shall thereafter give Owner prompt written notice of any such action or the expenditure of any funds pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.7 (with reasonable details).

(d)           During each calendar year Property Manager shall promptly inform Owner of any major increases in costs and expenses that were not foreseen during the budget preparation period and thus were not reflected in the Budget for the Premises and Owner shall promptly consider in good faith whether the Budget should be amended by reason thereof.

2.8           Owner’s Right to Conduct Audit.  At all times and from time to time during the term of this Agreement and at all times and from time to time during the period following the expiration or termination of this Agreement while any records are to be retained by Property Manager in accordance with this Agreement, Owner shall have the right to examine, copy and audit any and all of the books, records, files and other information of Property Manager, or held by another for Property Manager on its behalf, concerning this Agreement, the Premises or Owner, by using its own internal auditors or employing independent auditors, upon reasonable notice to Property Manager and during normal business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances.  Costs associated with conducting such audits by internal or independent auditors shall be borne by Owner, except as provided below.  Should Owner’s employees or agents discover any weaknesses in internal control or errors in record keeping, these shall be communicated to Property Manager in writing and Property Manager shall correct such discrepancies either upon discovery or within a reasonable period of time after notification by Owner.  Property Manager shall inform Owner in writing of the action taken or to be taken to correct such audit discrepancies.  The books of accounts and all other records relating to or reflecting the operations of the Premises shall at all times be the property of Owner and

14




shall be available to Owner and its auditors at all reasonable times for examination, audit, inspection, transcription and reproduction with reasonable notice to Property Manager.  However, if any audit conducted by or on behalf of Owner reveals a discrepancy in excess of five percent (5%), and greater than $10,000, for any major line item (i.e., base rent, operating expenses, total cleaning, total repairs and maintenance, etc.), Property Manager shall be responsible for the reasonable expenses of such audit.  This Section 2.8 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

2.9           Tenant Relations.  Property Manager agrees to use Property Manager’s best efforts to maintain tenant relations.  Both parties acknowledge that Property Manager is not performing brokerage or leasing services pursuant to this Agreement and that Owner may from time to time engage one or more real estate brokers or leasing agents for this purpose, which may or may not be Property Manager or an affiliate of Property Manager, at the sole discretion of Owner.

2.10         Employment of Personnel.  In addition to the requirements of Section 2.1(b), Property Manager agrees to hire, pay, supervise and discharge, as appropriate, all employees necessary for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.  All such personnel shall be the employees or independent contractors of Property Manager and not of Owner.  All matters pertaining to the employment of such employees or independent contractors shall be the sole responsibility of Property Manager, and Owner shall bear absolutely no responsibility or liability therefore.  Property Manager shall fully comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning workers compensation, social security, unemployment, tax withholding and reporting, hours of labor, wages, working conditions and all other laws affecting or respecting the employment of such employees or independent contractors.  Property Manager shall have no authority to enter into any employment contract which purports to be on behalf of Owner or which otherwise obligates Owner in any respect.  Owner reserves the right from time to time and at any time to require that employees presently or prospectively performing any aspect of services hereunder be subject to a satisfactory security check performed by or on behalf of Property Manager.  Property Manager shall hold Owner harmless from all claims for penalties, costs and damages that may be assessed under any law or any rule or regulation thereunder with respect to its failure to comply with the foregoing responsibilities.  Property Manager represents that it is, and will continue to be, an equal opportunity employer and will advertise as such.  This Agreement is not one of agency by Property Manager for Owner, but one pursuant to which Property Manager is engaged in the business of managing properties on its own behalf as an independent contractor.  As such, all employment arrangements are therefore solely Property Manager’s concern and Owner shall have no liability or obligation with respect thereto.  Property Manager will, in the hiring of all employees and in retaining independent contractors, use diligence to select qualified, competent and trustworthy employees and independent contractors.

2.11         Rules and Regulations.  Subject to the approval of Owner, and if requested by Owner, Property Manager agrees to draft and promulgate reasonable rules and regulations relating to the occupancy, use and operation of the Premises (including rules relating to signage), and to enforce the same as promulgated, as well as such other regulations as Owner may require, including but not limited to, tenant insurance requirements.  Property Manager shall draft and implement standard operating procedures, an organizational chart and emergency, contingency

15




and security plans for the Premises, all of which shall be submitted to Owner for its review and written approval.

ARTICLE 3

16




against Property Manager (a) by reason of any act or omission in such exercise of such judgment relative to the performance of said duties and obligations, provided Property Manager was not grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct or fraud and (b) for any Losses for which Owner has otherwise been reimbursed by the insurance required under Section 4.1.  It is expressly understood and agreed that the provisions of this Section 4.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement to the extent of any cause of action arising from events occurring prior to such termination.

4.4           Property Manager Indemnity.  Property Manager agrees to indemnify and defend each of the Owner Indemnified Parties, and hold the Owner Indemnified Parties harmless, against and from all Losses which any of the Owner Indemnified Parties may suffer or incur by or on behalf of any person, firm or corporation due to or arising out of any gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud on the part of Property Manager, its employees, agents or independent contractors (or others under the direction or control of Property Manager), or Property Manager’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or any act outside the scope of Property Manager’s authority hereunder (collectively, the “Manager Bad Acts”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Property Manager has exercised reasonable caution and care in selecting or recommending third party vendors and provided Property Manager has confirmed that such third party vendors have the types of insurance coverage, and in amounts at least equal to those amounts, set forth on Exhibit E for contractor’s insurance, Property Manager shall not be liable for Losses to the extent caused by any such third party vendor hired to provide services at the Premises.  It is expressly understood and agreed that the provisions of this Section 4.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement to the extent of any cause of action arising from events occurring prior to such termination.

4.5           Waiver of Claims.  If any applicable insurance policy is not invalidated by such waiver and release, Owner and Property Manager hereby waive and release any claim, demand or right, including all rights of subrogation, they and all others under them, including any insurer, might otherwise have to recover from the other party, or their contractors or employees, for damage to or destruction of any of their real or personal property situated on the Premises resulting from the negligence of the other party, or their contractors or employees, to the extent that Owner or Property Manager, as the case may be, is compensated by insurance for such damage or destruction.  If necessary, Owner and Property Manager shall obtain any necessary waiver from their respective insurers.

ARTICLE 5
MANAGEMENT FEES

5.1           Management Fees.  As management fees for services to be performed by Property Manager in managing, operating and maintaining the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement and provided Property Manager is not in material default hereunder, Owner agrees to pay to Property Manager monthly compensation on the basis specified in Exhibit D.

6.18         Confidentiality.  (a) The terms of this Agreement, the identity of any person with whom Owner may be holding discussions with respect to any lease, investment, acquisition, disposition or other transaction, and all other business, financial or other information relating directly to the Premises or the conduct of the business and affairs of Owner or the relative or absolute rights or interests of Owner (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) that has not been publicly disclosed pursuant to authorization by Owner is confidential and proprietary information of Owner, the disclosure of which would cause irreparable harm to Owner.  Accordingly, Property Manager represents that it has not and agrees that it will not and will direct its members, shareholders, partners, directors, officers, agents, advisors and affiliates not to, disclose to any person, any Confidential Information until Owner has publicly disclosed the Confidential Information and has notified Property Manager that it has done so; provided, however, Property Manager (or its Affiliates) may disclose such Confidential Information to its counsel or if required by law or pursuant to any court order, subpoena or similar process (provided that before making any disclosure of Confidential Information required by law, Property Manager will notify Owner and provide Owner with a copy of the proposed disclosure and opportunity to comment thereon before the disclosure is made) or necessary for it to perform any of its duties or obligations hereunder.

(b)           Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (a) above, Property Manager agrees not to disclose any Confidential Information to any person (other than the person agreeing to maintain all Confidential Information in strict confidence or a judge, magistrate or referee of any suit, action or proceeding relating to or arising out of this Agreement or otherwise), and to keep confidential all documents (including, without limitation, responses to discovery requests) containing any Confidential Information.  Property Manager hereby consents in advance to any motion for any protective order as being intended by the movant to implement the purposes of this Section 6.18, provided that, if Property Manager receives a request to disclose any Confidential Information under the terms of a valid and effective order issued by a court or governmental agency and the order was not sought by or on behalf of or consented to by

23




Property Manager, then Property Manager may disclose the Confidential Information to the extent required, if Property Manager as promptly as practical (i) notifies Owner of the existence, terms and circumstances of the order, (ii) consults in good faith with Owner on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or to narrow the order, and (iii) if disclosure of the Confidential Information is required, exercises its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the portion of the disclosed Confidential Information that Owner designates.  The costs (including, without limitations, attorneys fees and expenses) of obtaining a protective order covering Confidential Information designated by Owner will be borne by Owner.

(c)           The covenants contained in this Section 6.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

6.19         Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned by Property Manager, nor shall Property Manager delegate any of its duties hereunder, without Owner’s prior written consent (which may be given or withheld in Owner’s sole and absolute discretion).  For purposes of the foregoing, without the prior approval of Owner, a change in a majority of equity interests, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or the merger of Property Manager with any person or entity which results in a change in control of Property Manager shall be deemed an assignment by Property Manager and therefore is not permitted hereunder.  As used in this Agreement, the term “control” shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management, policies or activities of a person or entity, whether through ownership of voting securities or other interests, by contract or otherwise.  No transfer or assignment by any Property Manager will have the effect of relieving such assignor or transferor of any obligations under this Agreement, and the assigning or transferring party will remain liable for any and all obligations of its assignee (including those relating to the period following such assignment or transfer) as if such assignor or transferor had not made such assignment or transfer.

6.20         Competition.  Other than those properties previously disclosed in writing to Owner, Property Manager does not, directly or indirectly, own, lease, manage or otherwise have an interest in any commercial property of the type and character of the Premises that is within a three (3) mile radius of the Premises (each a “Competing Project”).  If at any time after the effective date of this Agreement, Property Manager intends to own, lease, manage or otherwise take an interest in any commercial property of the type and character of the Premises that is within a three (3) mile radius of the Premises (each also a “Competing Project”), Property Manager shall notify Owner of such fact prior to Property Manager’s involvement.  Property Manager covenants and agrees that it will not actively solicit tenants of the Premises for a Competing Project, by initiating contact with any tenants which occupy space at the Premises, without the prior written consent of Owner.  Property Manager shall disclose in writing to Owner a detailed list of any tenants that have moved or relocated from the Premises (or expanded) to any such Competing Project.  Property Manager shall not use, nor shall Property Manager permit the use of, information or materials obtained by Property Manager in conjunction with its performance of the management services hereunder to compete, directly or indirectly, with the Premises.  The terms of this Section 6.20 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement by twelve (12) months.

24




6.21         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same original.

6.22         Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles of such state.

6.23         Venue.  Any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provisions of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, may be brought in any state or federal court in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and each party hereto hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any suit, action or proceeding, and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Each party hereto hereby waives the right to commence an action, suit or proceeding seeking to enforce any provisions of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby or thereby in any court outside of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Process in any suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any court.  Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided for notice in Section 6.4 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.
