Management Agreements—Under our Management Agreements, we earn revenues for managing day-to-day activities at the properties of the Managed Funds. As property manager, we are to provide services including accounting, finance, and operations for which we receive a distinct fee based on a set percentage of gross cash receipts each month. Under the Management Agreements, we also serve as a leasing agent to the Managed Funds. For each new lease, lease renewal, and expansion, we receive a leasing commission. Leasing commissions are recognized as lease deals occur and are dependent on the terms of the lease. We assist in overseeing the construction of various improvements for Managed Funds, for which we receive a distinct fee based on a set percentage of total project cost calculated upon completion of construction. Because both parties in these contracts can cancel upon 30 days’ notice without penalties, their term is considered month-to-month.
The Management Agreements have terms as follows:
