a.    Collection of Gross Income.

i.    Property Manager shall collect all rents and assessments and other monies due Owner related to the Premises (all such items being referred to herein as “Gross Income”). Property Manager shall give Owner receipts therefor and, subject to any lock-box provisions set forth in the applicable loan documents, deposit all such Gross Income collected hereunder in Property Manager’s custodial account which Property Manager will open and maintain, in a state or national bank of Property Manager’s choice, exclusively for the Premises and any other properties owned by Owner ((or any entity that is owned or controlled by the Operating Partnership) and managed by Property Manager. Unless otherwise required by Owner, Property Manager shall be permitted to comingle the funds in such custodial account with funds attributable to any other properties owned by Owner or entities owned or controlled by the Operating Partnership and managed by Property Manager. Owner agrees that Property Manager shall be authorized to maintain a reasonable minimum balance (to be determined jointly from time to time) in the custodial account.

Owner shall pay the excess amount immediately upon request from Property Manager. Nothing herein contained shall obligate Property Manager to advance its own funds on behalf of Owner. It is understood that the Gross Income will be used first, to pay operational expenses, including compensation to the Property Manager in the form of the property management fee (as set forth in Section 6(a) hereof); and second, to pay any mortgage indebtedness, including real estate tax and insurance impounds; provided however, such payments will only be made if sufficient Gross Income is available; provided, further, that nothing in

If Owner and the Operating Partnership do not approve the proposed Annualized Budget, Owner shall notify Property Manager of the specifics of such disapproval within such thirty (30) day period and Property Manager shall make the necessary amendments to the Annualized Budget. During the time Property Manager is preparing these amendments, Property Manager will continue to operate the Premises according to the last approved Annualized Budget. Owner’s and the Operating Partnership’s approval of the Annualized Budget shall constitute approval for Property Manager to expend sums for all budgeted expenditures, without the necessity to obtain additional approval of Owner and the Operating Partnership under any other expenditure limitations as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

d.    Non-Budgeted Expenses. Property Manager shall secure the approval of, and execution of appropriate agreements by, Owner and the Operating Partnership for any non-budgeted and non-emergency/contingency capital items, alterations or other expenditures in excess of $50,000, securing for each item at least three (3) written bids, if practicable, or providing evidence satisfactory to Owner that the agreed amount is lower than industry standard pricing, from responsible contractors. Property Manager shall have the right from time to time during the term hereof, to contract with and make purchases from entities or affiliates of such entities providing services to the Operating Partnership or the Company and third party agents; provided that contract rates and prices are competitive with other available sources.
