The Owner appoints the Manager as exclusive agent for managing the Premises, and the Manager accepts the appointment, subject to this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement, the Manager may accept work performing similar services for other property owners. The Manager will act on behalf of - and subject to - the Owner's control. Subject to the voting requirements in Section 19.13 below in this Agreement, whenever Owner's "approval" or "consent" is required, Email's and other writings directly to the Manager from Owners of the undivided interests in the Premises will constitute evidence of such "approval or "consent." But the Owner may not control the details of the Manager's work; thus, the Manager will be an independent contractor of the Owner. The Manager will not be considered a partner or joint venturer with the Owner and thus will not be liable for financial losses relating to ownership of the Premises.

But the Manger may require a lesser amount or no deposit if the Manager determines that (1) the security deposit is a material consideration in a prospective tenant's decision to lease space, (2) it is unlikely that a better tenant would lease the space within a reasonable period, and (3) the prospective tenant's financial condition and integrity present a small risk of loss to the Owner. If the Manager does not require a tenant to pay the normal amount of a security deposit for a unit, the Manager will include a memo in the tenant's file describing the circumstances justifying the decision to reduce or eliminate the security-deposit requirement. The Manager will collect, deposit, and disburse security deposits according to each lease and the requirements of the law.

The Manager will collect when due all rents, charges, and other amounts due to the Owner relating to the Premises. Such receipts will be deposited not later than the first banking day following the day of receipt.
