W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, Owners are the owners of various properties that are currently majority leased to government tenants and may, in the future, acquire additional properties which, unless otherwise expressly agreed, shall automatically become subject to this Agreement without amendment hereof, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and Managing Agent (collectively, the “Managed Premises”);

WHEREAS, Managing Agent is a company that provides property management and administrative services;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the services to be provided by Managing Agent hereunder shall exclude all services (including, without limitation,

2.             General Parameters.  Any or all services may be performed or goods purchased by Managing Agent under arrangements jointly with or for other properties owned or managed by Managing Agent and the costs shall be reasonably and fairly apportioned.  Managing Agent may employ personnel who are assigned to work exclusively at the Managed Premises or partly at the Managed Premises and other buildings owned and/or managed by Managing Agent.  Wages, benefits and other related costs of centralized accounting personnel and employees employed by Managing Agent and assigned to work exclusively or partly at the Managed Premises shall be reasonably and fairly apportioned and reimbursed, pro rata, by Owners in addition to the Fee and Construction Supervision Fee (each as defined in Section 6).
