RESTATED PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS RESTATED PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this " Agreement ") is entered into as of October 1, 2013 among Three-A SAC Self-Storage Limited Partnership, a Nevada limited partnership (" Owner "), and the subsidiaries of U-Haul International, Inc. set forth on the signature block hereto (collectively or individually, as the case may be, " Manager ").
RECITALS
A. Owner owns the real property and all improvements thereon and appurtenances thereto located at the street addr esses identified on Exhibit A hereto (hereinafter, collectively the “Property”).
B. Owner intends that the Property be rented on a space-by-space retail basis to corporations, partnerships, individuals and/or other entities for use as self-storage facili ties.
C. Owner desires that Manager manage the Property and Manager desires to act as the property manager for the Property, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants her ein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows.
1. Employment.
(a) Owner hereby retains Manager, and Manager agrees to act as manager of the Property upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
(b) Owner acknowledges that Manager, and/or Manager affiliates, is in the business of managing self-storage facilities and businesses conducted thereat, including, but not limited to, the sale of packing supplies and rental of trucks and equipment, both for its own account and for the account of others. It is hereby expressly agreed that notwithstanding this Agreement, Manager and such affiliates may continue to engage in such activities, may manage facilities other than those presently managed by Manager and its affiliates (whether or not such other facili ties may be in direct or indirect competition with Owner) and may in the future engage in other business which may compete directly or indirectly with activities of Owner.
(c) In the performance of its duties under this Agreement, Manager shall occupy the po sition of an independent contractor with respect to Owner. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as making the parties hereto (or any of them) partners or co-parties to a joint venture, nor construed as making Manager an employee of Owner.
2. Duties an d Authority of Manager.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on behalf of, and as agent of, the Owner:
(a) General Duties and Authority . Manager shall have the sole and exclusive duty and authority to fully manage the Property and supervise and direct the business
(b) and affairs associated or related to the daily operation thereof, to collect on behalf of Owner all revenues related to the Property, t o pay on behalf of Owner all expenses of the Property, and to execute on behalf of Owner such documents and instruments as, in the sole judgment of Manager, are reasonably necessary or advisable under the circumstances in order to fulfill Manager's duties hereunder. Such duties and authority shall include, without limitation, those set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term or provision herein, upon notice to Manager, Owner shall have the right to assume responsibility for the direct payment of certain expenses of Owner, as may be determined by Owner. In such event, Owner shall provide an accounting of such costs to Manager. In the event Owner fails to provide such accounting to Manager, Manager shall assume no liability for nonpaym ent for such expenses so assumed by Owner. The parties acknowledge and agree that Owner will retain title to, ownership of, and exclusive right to control the Property, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and that portion of the Gross Revenue (as her einafter defined) owned by Owner (“Owner’s Revenue”); and that Manager will not acquire title to, any interest in, or any income or revenues from the Property or Owner’s Revenue. For purposes of this Agreement, Owner’s Revenue consists of the revenue from storage operations, retail sales, miscellaneous income and the commissions (“U-Move Commissions”) paid to Owner pursuant to the terms of that Dealership Contract between Owner and Manager dated as of the date hereof (the “Dealer Contract”), in each case w ith respect to the Property. In performing its services and making any payments hereunder, Manager will make known to third parties that Manager is acting solely as the agent of Owner. Under no circumstances will Manager represent or hold itself out to an y third party as having any title to or property interest in the Property or Owner’s Revenue.
(c) Renting of the Property . Manager shall establish policies and procedures for the marketing activities for the Property, and shall advertise the Property throug h such media as Manager deems advisable. Manager's marketing activities for the Property shall be consistent with the scope and quality implemented by Manager and its affiliates at any other properties operated by Manager or its affiliates. Manager shall have the sole discretion, which discretion shall be exercised in good faith, to establish the terms and conditions of occupancy by the tenants of the Property, and Manager is hereby authorized to enter into rental agreements on behalf and for the account of Owner with such tenants and to collect rent from such tenants on behalf and for the account of Owner. Manager may jointly advertise the Property with other properties owned or managed by Manager or its Affiliates, and in that event, Manager shall reason ably allocate the cost of such advertising among such properties.
(d) Repair, Maintenance and Improvements . Manager shall make, execute, supervise and have control over the making and executing of all decisions concerning the acquisition of furniture, fixture s and supplies for the Property, and may purchase, lease or otherwise acquire the same and which items shall be owned by Manager. Manager shall make and execute, or supervise and have control over the making and executing of all decisions concerning the m aintenance, repair and landscaping of the Property, provided, however, that such maintenance, repair and landscaping shall be consistent with the maintenance, repair and landscaping implemented by Manager and its affiliates at any other properties operated by Manager or its affiliates. Manager shall, on behalf of Owner, negotiate and contract for and supervise the installation of all capital improvements related to the Property; provided, however, that Manager agrees to secure the prior written approval of Owner on all such expenditures in excess of $10,000.00 for any one item, except monthly or recurring operating charges and/or
emergency repairs if in the opinion of Manager such emergency repairs are necessary to protect the Property from damage or to mai ntain services to the Owner or any customers. In the event such emergency repairs exceed $10,000, Manager shall notify Owner and the insurer as applicable of the cost estimate for such work.
(e) Personnel . Manager shall select all vendors, suppliers, contrac tors, subcontractors and employees with respect to the Property and shall hire, discharge and supervise all labor and employees required for the operation and maintenance of the Property. Any employees so hired shall be employees of Manager, and shall be carried on the payroll of Manager. Employees may include, but need not be limited to, on-site resident managers, on-site assistant managers, and relief managers located, rendering services, or performing activities on the Property in connection with its o peration and management. The cost of employing such persons shall not exceed prevailing rates for comparable persons performing the same or similar services with respect to real estate similar to the Property in the general vicinity of each respective Pro perty. Manager shall be responsible for all legal and insurance requirements relating to its employees.
(f) Service Agreements . Manager shall negotiate and execute on behalf of Owner such agreements which Manager deems necessary or advisable for the furnishi ng of utilities, services, concessions and supplies, for the maintenance, repair and operation of the Property and such other agreements which may benefit the Property or be incidental to the matters for which Manager is responsible hereunder.
(g) Other Decisions . Manager shall make the decisions in connection with the day-to-day operations of the Property.
(h) Regulations and Permits . Manager shall comply in all respects with any statute, ordinance, law, rule, regulation or order of any governmental or reg ulatory body pertaining to the Property (collectively, "Laws"), respecting the use of the Property or the maintenance or operation thereof, the non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Owner or any Propert y. Manager shall apply for and obtain and maintain, on behalf of Owner, all licenses and permits required or advisable (in the reasonable judgment of Manager) in connection with the management and operation of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall be permitted to contest any Applicable Laws to the extent and pursuant to the same conditions that Owner is permitted to contest any Laws. To the extent that Manager does not comply, Manager will be responsible for the costs and penalties i ncurred as a result of the non-compliance.
(i) Records and Reports of Disbursements and Collections . Manager shall establish, supervise, direct and maintain the operation of a system of cash record keeping and bookkeeping with respect to all receipts and disb ursements and all business activities and operations conducted by Manager in connection with the management and operation of the Property. Manager shall be responsible for cash shortages and discrepancies incurred in the normal course of management operat ions. The books, records and accounts shall be maintained at the Manager's office or at Owner's office, or at such other location as Manager and Owner shall determine, and shall be available and open to examination and audit quarterly by Owner, its repres entatives, its lenders and administrative and collateral agents on behalf of lenders, if any
(collectively, “Lender”), and as provided by Owner, and, subject to any mortgagee of the Property, and such mortgagee's representative. Manager shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Owner and, if Owner fails to provide such information to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, to Lender, a monthly statement on a per-Property basis, of receipts, expenses and charges, and any other information as reasonably req uired by Owner to prepare its financials statements, together with a statement, on a per-Property basis, of the disbursements made by Manager during such period on Owner's behalf, which shall include separate lines for prepaid items and inventory. Manager shall provide Owner with rent rolls and occupancy reports if requested.
(j) Collection . Manager shall be responsible for the billing and collection of all receipts and for payment of all expenses with respect to the Property and shall be responsible for esta blishing policies and procedures to minimize the amount of bad debts. Bad debt incurred as a result of non compliance with management policies and procedures (such as improper verifications or acceptance of bad credit cards or bad checks) will be the respo nsibility of Manager.
(k) Legal Actions . Manager shall cause to be instituted, on behalf and in its name or in the name of Owner as appropriate, any and all legal actions or proceedings Manager deems necessary or advisable in connection with the Property, i ncluding, without limitation, to collect charges, rent or other income due to Owner with respect to the Property and to oust or dispossess tenants where appropriate or other persons unlawfully in possession under any lease, license, concession agreement or otherwise, and to collect damages for breach thereof or default thereunder by such Owner, licensee, concessionaire or occupant.
(l) Insurance . Manager will insure, on its Master Policy, against all liabilities at the Property at Manager’s sole cost and expen se (“General Liability Insurance”). Any deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to the General Liability Insurance shall be at Manager’s (or Manager’s U-Haul affiliates’) responsibility and sole cost and expense. Manager will insure equipment at Manager’s cost, as determined by Manager. If requested by Owner, Manager will obtain for Owner, at Owner’s sole cost and expense, a policy of property insurance (“Property and Casualty Insurance”). Any such Property & Casualty Insurance shall meet Le nder’s required coverage, to include earthquake, flood and other Lender requirements, as the case may be, and shall be the cost of Owner. Manager’s obligations under this Section 2(k) shall be guaranteed by U-Haul International, Inc.
(m) Taxes . During the term of this Agreement, Manager shall pay on behalf of Owner, prior to delinquency, real estate taxes, personal property taxes, and other taxes assessed to, or levied upon, the Property, but only in the event requested by Owner. If requested, Manager will charge to Owner an expense monthly equal to 1/12 of annual- real property taxes.
(n) Limitations on Manager Authority . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2, Manager shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Own er, (i) rent storage space in the Property by written lease or agreement for a stated term in excess of one year unless such lease or agreement is terminable by the giving of not more than thirty (30) days written notice, (ii) alter the building or other s tructures of the Property in violation of loan documents executed by Owner in connection with the Property (“Loan
Documents”); (iii) enter on behalf of Owner any other agreements which exceed a term of one year and are not terminable on thirty day's notice at the will of Owner, without penalty, payment or surcharge; (iv) act in violation of any Law, (v) violate any term or condition of the Loan Documents; (vi) fail to correct any misunderstanding of any third party of which Manager becomes aware as to the s eparateness of Owner and Manager; or (vii) except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, exercise any authority to act on behalf of, or hold itself out has having authority to act on behalf of, Owner.
(o) Shared Expenses . Owner acknowledges that certain economies may be achieved with respect to certain expenses to be incurred by Manager on behalf of Owner hereunder if materials, supplies, insurance or services are purchased by Manager in quantity for use not only in connection with Owner's business at th e Property but in connection with other properties owned or managed by Manager or its affiliates. Manager shall have the right to purchase such materials, supplies, insurance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) and/or services in its own name and cha rge Owner a pro rata allocable share of the cost of the foregoing; provided, however, that the pro rata cost of such purchase to Owner shall not result in expenses that are either inconsistent with the expenses of other "U-Haul branded" locations in the ge neral vicinity of the applicable Property or greater than would otherwise be incurred at competitive prices and terms available in the area where the Property is located; and provided further, Manager shall give Owner access to records (at no cost to Owner ) so Owner may review any such expenses incurred.
(p) Deposit of Gross Revenues . All revenue from operations at the Property (“Gross Revenue”) shall be deposited daily by Manager into (i) a bank account that has been established for the benefit of Owner (the “Deposit Account”) and maintained by Manager (or its parent company); or (ii) a collective bank account (the “Collective Account”) maintained by Manager (or its parent company) for the benefit of multiple property owners. In either case, although the acco unt may be in Owner’s name, Owner’s right to the proceeds therein only extends to Owner’s Revenue. On a daily basis, Manager shall transfer Owner’s Revenue in the Deposit Account or Collective Account, as the case may be, to Owner’s separately identified depositary account pledged to Lender (“Blocked Account”). To the extent that Gross Revenue is deposited into a Collective Account, Manager (or its parent company) shall on a daily basis reconcile such Collective Account and maintain such records as shall c learly identify the respective interest of each property owner in such account. Manager shall not, and shall not permit any other property owner or any affiliate of Manager to borrow, lend, use, pledge or otherwise encumber Owner’s Revenue while it is in a Deposit Account or Collective Account. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Cash Management Agreement dated as of the date hereof between Owner, U.S. Bank National Association as Agent and Administrative Agent, and Manager (the “Cash Mana gement Agreement”), during a Cash Sweep Period (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), the Owner’s Revenue shall be transferred to the Cash Management Account and shall be governed by the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. The payment of Owne r’s U-Move Commissions shall be governed by the terms of the Dealer Contract. Except as otherwise expressly set forth above or in the Cash Management Agreement or Blocked Account Agreement (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), nothing in this S ection shall be construed to limit Owner’s access to Owner’s Revenue, except during a Cash Sweep Period. Manager shall not deposit any Gross Revenues into any deposit accounts except as expressly permitted under this paragraph.
(q) Obligations under Loan Do cuments and other Material Contracts . Manager shall take such actions as are necessary or appropriate under the circumstances to ensure, to the extent Manager is privy to the information, that Owner is in compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents an d any other material agreement relating to the Property to which Owner is a party and for which Manager is privy to the information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate Manager to fund from its own resources any payments owed by Owner under the Loan Documents or otherwise be deemed to make Manager a direct obligor under the Loan Documents.
(r) Obligations notwithstanding other Tenancy at the Property . Manager shall perform all of its obligations under this Agree ment in a professional manner consistent with the standards it employs at all of its managed locations.
(s) Segregation . Owner and Manager shall maintain the Property and Owner’s Revenue in such a manner that it is not costly or difficult to segregate, asc ertain or identify Owner’s individual assets from those of Manager or any other person.
3. Duties of Owner.
Owner shall cooperate with Manager in the performance of Manager's duties under this Agreement and to that end, upon the request of Manager, shall provide, at such rental charges, if any, as are deemed appropriate, reasonable office space for Manager employees on the premises of the Property (to the extent available). Owner shall not unreasonably withhold or delay any consent or authorization to Man ager required or appropriate under this Agreement. Owner shall provide Manager with copies of all Loan Documents and any amendments thereto.
4. Compensation of Manager.
(a) Reimbursement of Expenses .

Such expense reimbursement shall be due by the last business day of each month, for al l expenses billed during such month, unless a written request is received by Manager detailing a legitimate dispute as to a billed amount. Such reimbursement shall be the obligation of Owner, whether or not Owner’s Revenues are sufficient to pay such am ounts. Unpaid balances shall accrue interest at the rate of the 30 day libor + 100 basis points, commencing as of the first day of the month following the due date therefor, or the first day of the month following resolution of the dispute.
(b) Management F ee . Owner shall pay to Manager as the full amount due for the services herein provided a monthly fee (the “Management Fee”) which shall be six percent (6%) of the Property’s current month Owner’s Revenue, as determined on a cash basis. The Management Fee payment shall be included with the reimbursement of Expenses pursuant to Section 4(a) above, for the same month. The invoice for the management fee shall be itemized and shall include reasonable detail to explain the expenses incurred.
Except as provided in this Section 4, it is further understood and agreed that Manager shall not be entitled to additional compensation of any kind in connection with the performance by it of its duties under this Agreement.
(c) Inspection of Books and Records .

Manager shall cooperate with any such inspection.

Manager shall promptly reimburse Owner for any overpayment.
5. Use of Trademarks, Service Marks and Related Items.

It is further understood and agreed that this name and all such marks, slogans, caricatures, designs and other trade or service items shall remain and be at all times the property of Manager and its affiliates, and that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Owner shall have no right whatsoever therein.

Upon term ination of this Agreement at any time for any reason, all such use by and for the benefit of Owner of any such name, mark, slogan, caricature, design or other trade or service item in connection with the Property shall be terminated and any signs bearing a ny of the foregoing shall be removed from view and no longer used by Owner. In addition, upon termination of this Agreement at any time for any reason, Owner shall not enter into any new leases of Property using the Manager lease form or use other forms p repared by Manager. It is understood and agreed that Manager will use and shall be unrestricted in its use of such name, mark, slogan, caricature, design or other trade or service item in the management and operation of other storage facilities both durin g and after the expiration or termination of the term of this Agreement.

THIS RESTATED PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this " Agreement ") is entered into as of October 1, 2013 among Three-B SAC Self-Storage Limited Partnership, a Nevada limited partnership (" Owner "), and the subsidiaries of U-Haul International, Inc. set forth on the signature block hereto (collectively or individually, as the case may be, " Manager ").
RECITALS
A. Owner owns the real property and all improvements thereon and appurtenances thereto located at the street addres ses identified on Exhibit A hereto (hereinafter, collectively the “Property”).
B. Owner intends that the Property be rented on a space-by-space retail basis to corporations, partnerships, individuals and/or other entities for use as self-storage faciliti es.

(b) Owner acknowledges that Manager, and/or Manager af filiates, is in the business of managing self-storage facilities and businesses conducted thereat, including, but not limited to, the sale of packing supplies and rental of trucks and equipment, both for its own account and for the account of others. It i s hereby expressly agreed that notwithstanding this Agreement, Manager and such affiliates may continue to engage in such activities, may manage facilities other than those presently managed by Manager and its affiliates (whether or not such other faciliti es may be in direct or indirect competition with Owner) and may in the future engage in other business which may compete directly or indirectly with activities of Owner.
(c) In the performance of its duties under this Agreement, Manager shall occupy the posi tion of an independent contractor with respect to Owner. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as making the parties hereto (or any of them) partners or co-parties to a joint venture, nor construed as making Manager an employee of Owner.
2. Duties and Authority of Manager.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on behalf of, and as agent of, the Owner:
(a) General Duties and Authority . Manager shall have the sole and exclusive duty and authority to fully manage the Property and supervise an d direct the business
and affairs associated or related to the daily operation thereof, to collect on behalf of Owner all revenues related to the Property, to pay on behalf of Owner all expenses of the Property, and to execute on behalf of Owner such docum ents and instruments as, in the sole judgment of Manager, are reasonably necessary or advisable under the circumstances in order to fulfill Manager's duties hereunder. Such duties and authority shall include, without limitation, those set forth below. No twithstanding the foregoing or any other term or provision herein, upon notice to Manager, Owner shall have the right to assume responsibility for the direct payment of certain expenses of Owner, as may be determined by Owner. In such event, Owner shall p rovide an accounting of such costs to Manager. In the event Owner fails to provide such accounting to Manager, Manager shall assume no liability for nonpayment for such expenses so assumed by Owner. The parties acknowledge and agree that Owner will reta in title to, ownership of, and exclusive right to control the Property, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and that portion of the Gross Revenue (as hereinafter defined) owned by Owner (“Owner’s Revenue”); and that Manager will not acquire title to, a ny interest in, or any income or revenues from the Property or Owner’s Revenue. For purposes of this Agreement, Owner’s Revenue consists of the revenue from storage operations, retail sales, miscellaneous income and the commissions (“U-Move Commissions”) paid to Owner pursuant to the terms of that Dealership Contract between Owner and Manager dated as of the date hereof (the “Dealer Contract”), in each case with respect to the Property. In performing its services and making any payments hereunder, Manager will make known to third parties that Manager is acting solely as the agent of Owner. Under no circumstances will Manager represent or hold itself out to any third party as having any title to or property interest in the Property or Owner’s Revenue.
(b) Ren ting of the Property . Manager shall establish policies and procedures for the marketing activities for the Property, and shall advertise the Property through such media as Manager deems advisable. Manager's marketing activities for the Property shall be consistent with the scope and quality implemented by Manager and its affiliates at any other properties operated by Manager or its affiliates. Manager shall have the sole discretion, which discretion shall be exercised in good faith, to establish the term s and conditions of occupancy by the tenants of the Property, and Manager is hereby authorized to enter into rental agreements on behalf and for the account of Owner with such tenants and to collect rent from such tenants on behalf and for the account of O wner. Manager may jointly advertise the Property with other properties owned or managed by Manager or its Affiliates, and in that event, Manager shall reasonably allocate the cost of such advertising among such properties.
(c) Repair, Maintenance and Improveme nts . Manager shall make, execute, supervise and have control over the making and executing of all decisions concerning the acquisition of furniture, fixtures and supplies for the Property, and may purchase, lease or otherwise acquire the same and which it ems shall be owned by Manager. Manager shall make and execute, or supervise and have control over the making and executing of all decisions concerning the maintenance, repair and landscaping of the Property, provided, however, that such maintenance, repai r and landscaping shall be consistent with the maintenance, repair and landscaping implemented by Manager and its affiliates at any other properties operated by Manager or its affiliates. Manager shall, on behalf of Owner, negotiate and contract for and s upervise the installation of all capital improvements related to the Property; provided, however, that Manager agrees to secure the prior written approval of Owner on all such expenditures in excess of $10,000.00 for any one item, except monthly or recurri ng operating charges and/or
emergency repairs if in the opinion of Manager such emergency repairs are necessary to protect the Property from damage or to maintain services to the Owner or any customers. In the event such emergency repairs exceed $10,000, Manager shall notify Owner and the insurer as applicable of the cost estimate for such work.
(d) Personnel . Manager shall select all vendors, suppliers, contractors, subcontractors and employees with respect to the Property and shall hire, discharge and super vise all labor and employees required for the operation and maintenance of the Property. Any employees so hired shall be employees of Manager, and shall be carried on the payroll of Manager. Employees may include, but need not be limited to, on-site resi dent managers, on-site assistant managers, and relief managers located, rendering services, or performing activities on the Property in connection with its operation and management. The cost of employing such persons shall not exceed prevailing rates for comparable persons performing the same or similar services with respect to real estate similar to the Property in the general vicinity of each respective Property. Manager shall be responsible for all legal and insurance requirements relating to its emplo yees.
(e) Service Agreements . Manager shall negotiate and execute on behalf of Owner such agreements which Manager deems necessary or advisable for the furnishing of utilities, services, concessions and supplies, for the maintenance, repair and operation of t he Property and such other agreements which may benefit the Property or be incidental to the matters for which Manager is responsible hereunder.
(f) Other Decisions . Manager shall make the decisions in connection with the day-to-day operations of the Property .
(g) Regulations and Permits . Manager shall comply in all respects with any statute, ordinance, law, rule, regulation or order of any governmental or regulatory body pertaining to the Property (collectively, "Laws"), respecting the use of the Property or the maintenance or operation thereof, the non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Owner or any Property. Manager shall apply for and obtain and maintain, on behalf of Owner, all licenses and permits require d or advisable (in the reasonable judgment of Manager) in connection with the management and operation of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall be permitted to contest any Applicable Laws to the extent and pursuant to the same conditi ons that Owner is permitted to contest any Laws. To the extent that Manager does not comply, Manager will be responsible for the costs and penalties incurred as a result of the non-compliance.
(h) Records and Reports of Disbursements and Collections . Manager shall establish, supervise, direct and maintain the operation of a system of cash record keeping and bookkeeping with respect to all receipts and disbursements and all business activities and operations conducted by Manager in connection with the manageme nt and operation of the Property. Manager shall be responsible for cash shortages and discrepancies incurred in the normal course of management operations. The books, records and accounts shall be maintained at the Manager's office or at Owner's office, or at such other location as Manager and Owner shall determine, and shall be available and open to examination and audit quarterly by Owner, its representatives, its lenders and administrative and collateral agents on behalf of lenders, if any
(collectivel y, “Lender”), and as provided by Owner, and, subject to any mortgagee of the Property, and such mortgagee's representative. Manager shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Owner and, if Owner fails to provide such information to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, to Lender, a monthly statement on a per-Property basis, of receipts, expenses and charges, and any other information as reasonably required by Owner to prepare its financials statements, together with a statement, on a per-Property basis, of the disbursements made by Manager during such period on Owner's behalf, which shall include separate lines for prepaid items and inventory. Manager shall provide Owner with rent rolls and occupancy reports if requested.
(i) Collection . Manager shall be responsible for the billing and collection of all receipts and for payment of all expenses with respect to the Property and shall be responsible for establishing policies and procedures to minimize the amount of bad debts. Bad debt incurred as a result of non compliance with management policies and procedures (such as improper verifications or acceptance of bad credit cards or bad checks) will be the responsibility of Manager.
(j) Legal Actions . Manager shall cause to be instituted, on behalf and in its name or in the name of Owner as appropriate, any and all legal actions or proceedings Manager deems necessary or advisable in connection with the Property, including, without limitation, to collect charges, rent or other income due to Owner with respect to the Property and to oust or dispossess tenants where appropriate or other persons unlawfully in possession under any lease, license, concession agreement or otherwise, and to collect damages for breach thereof or default thereunder by such Owner, licensee, co ncessionaire or occupant.
(k) Insurance . Manager will insure, on its Master Policy, against all liabilities at the Property at Manager’s sole cost and expense (“General Liability Insurance”). Any deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to the Gene ral Liability Insurance shall be at Manager’s (or Manager’s U-Haul affiliates’) responsibility and sole cost and expense. Manager will insure equipment at Manager’s cost, as determined by Manager. If requested by Owner, Manager will obtain for Owner, at Owner’s sole cost and expense, a policy of property insurance (“Property and Casualty Insurance”). Any such Property & Casualty Insurance shall meet Lender’s required coverage, to include earthquake, flood and other Lender requirements, as the case may b e, and shall be the cost of Owner. Manager’s obligations under this Section 2(k) shall be guaranteed by U-Haul International, Inc.
(l) Taxes . During the term of this Agreement, Manager shall pay on behalf of Owner, prior to delinquency, real estate taxes, personal property taxes, and other taxes assessed to, or levied upon, the Property, but only in the event requested by Owner. If requested, Manager will charge to Owner an expense monthly equal to 1/12 of annual- real property taxes.
(m) Limitations on Manage r Authority . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2, Manager shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Owner, (i) rent storage space in the Property by written lease or agreement for a stated term in excess of one year unless such lease or agreement is terminable by the giving of not more than thirty (30) days written notice, (ii) alter the building or other structures of the Property in violation of loan documents executed by Owner in connection with the Prope rty (“Loan
Documents”); (iii) enter on behalf of Owner any other agreements which exceed a term of one year and are not terminable on thirty day's notice at the will of Owner, without penalty, payment or surcharge; (iv) act in violation of any Law, (v) vio late any term or condition of the Loan Documents; (vi) fail to correct any misunderstanding of any third party of which Manager becomes aware as to the separateness of Owner and Manager; or (vii) except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, exercise a ny authority to act on behalf of, or hold itself out has having authority to act on behalf of, Owner.
(n) Shared Expenses . Owner acknowledges that certain economies may be achieved with respect to certain expenses to be incurred by Manager on behalf of Owne r hereunder if materials, supplies, insurance or services are purchased by Manager in quantity for use not only in connection with Owner's business at the Property but in connection with other properties owned or managed by Manager or its affiliates. Mana ger shall have the right to purchase such materials, supplies, insurance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) and/or services in its own name and charge Owner a pro rata allocable share of the cost of the foregoing; provided, however, that the pro rata cost of such purchase to Owner shall not result in expenses that are either inconsistent with the expenses of other "U-Haul branded" locations in the general vicinity of the applicable Property or greater than would otherwise be incurred at competitive pr ices and terms available in the area where the Property is located; and provided further, Manager shall give Owner access to records (at no cost to Owner) so Owner may review any such expenses incurred.
(o) Deposit of Gross Revenues . All revenue from operatio ns at the Property (“Gross Revenue”) shall be deposited daily by Manager into (i) a bank account that has been established for the benefit of Owner (the “Deposit Account”) and maintained by Manager (or its parent company); or (ii) a collective bank account (the “Collective Account”) maintained by Manager (or its parent company) for the benefit of multiple property owners. In either case, although the account may be in Owner’s name, Owner’s right to the proceeds therein only extends to Owner’s Revenue. On a daily basis, Manager shall transfer Owner’s Revenue in the Deposit Account or Collective Account, as the case may be, to Owner’s separately identified depositary account pledged to Lender (“Blocked Account”). To the extent that Gross Revenue is deposited into a Collective Account, Manager (or its parent company) shall on a daily basis reconcile such Collective Account and maintain such records as shall clearly identify the respective interest of each property owner in such account. Manager shall not, and shall not permit any other property owner or any affiliate of Manager to borrow, lend, use, pledge or otherwise encumber Owner’s Revenue while it is in a Deposit Account or Collective Account. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Cash Mana gement Agreement dated as of the date hereof between Owner, U.S. Bank National Association as Agent and Administrative Agent, and Manager (the “Cash Management Agreement”), during a Cash Sweep Period (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), the Owner ’s Revenue shall be transferred to the Cash Management Account and shall be governed by the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. The payment of Owner’s U-Move Commissions shall be governed by the terms of the Dealer Contract. Except as otherwise ex pressly set forth above or in the Cash Management Agreement or Blocked Account Agreement (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit Owner’s access to Owner’s Revenue, except during a Cash Sweep Period . Manager shall not deposit any Gross Revenues into any deposit accounts except as expressly permitted under this paragraph.
(p) Obligations under Loan Documents and other Material Contracts . Manager shall take such actions as are necessary or appropriate under the circumstances to ensure, to the extent Manager is privy to the information, that Owner is in compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents and any other material agreement relating to the Property to which Owner is a party and for which Manager is privy to the information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate Manager to fund from its own resources any payments owed by Owner under the Loan Documents or otherwise be deemed to make Manager a direct ob ligor under the Loan Documents.
(q) Obligations notwithstanding other Tenancy at the Property . Manager shall perform all of its obligations under this Agreement in a professional manner consistent with the standards it employs at all of its managed locations.
(r) Segregation . Owner and Manager shall maintain the Property and Owner’s Revenue in such a manner that it is not costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or identify Owner’s individual assets from those of Manager or any other person.
3. Duties of Owner.
Owner shall cooperate with Manager in the performance of Manager's duties under this Agreement and to that end, upon the request of Manager, shall provide, at such rental charges, if any, as are deemed appropriate, reasonable office spac e for Manager employees on the premises of the Property (to the extent available). Owner shall not unreasonably withhold or delay any consent or authorization to Manager required or appropriate under this Agreement. Owner shall provide Manager with copies of all Loan Documents and any amendments thereto.
4. Compensation of Manager.
(a) Reimbursement of Expenses . Manager shall be entitled to request and receive timely reimbursement for all timely authorized out-of-pocket reasonable and customary expenses (“Expe nses”) actually incurred by Manager in the discharge of its duties hereunder. Such expense reimbursement shall be due by the last business day of each month, for all expenses billed during such month, unless a written request is received by Manager detail ing a legitimate dispute as to a billed amount. Such reimbursement shall be the obligation of Owner, whether or not Owner’s Revenues are sufficient to pay such amounts. Unpaid balances shall accrue interest at the rate of the 30 day libor + 100 basis p oints, commencing as of the first day of the month following the due date therefor, or the first day of the month following resolution of the dispute.
(b) Management Fee . Owner shall pay to Manager as the full amount due for the services herein provided a m onthly fee (the “Management Fee”) which shall be six percent (6%) of the Property’s current month Owner’s Revenue, as determined on a cash basis. The Management Fee payment shall be included with the reimbursement of Expenses pursuant to Section 4(a) abov e, for the same month. The invoice for the management fee shall be itemized and shall include reasonable detail to explain the expenses incurred.
Except as provided in this Section 4, it is further understood and agreed that Manager shall not be entitled to additional compensation of any kind in connection with the performance by it of its duties under this Agreement.
(c) Inspection of Books and Records . Owner shall have the right, upon prior reasonable notice to Manager, to inspect Manager's books and recor ds with respect to the Property, to assure that proper fees and charges are assessed hereunder. Manager shall cooperate with any such inspection. Owner shall bear the cost of any such inspection; provided, however, that if it is clearly demonstrated that Manager has overcharged Owner by more than 5% in any given quarter and such overcharge was not caused in whole pr part by Owner, the cost of such inspection shall be borne by Manager. Manager shall promptly reimburse Owner for any overpayment.
5. Use of Trad emarks, Service Marks and Related Items.
Owner acknowledges the significant value of the "U-Haul" name in the operations of Owner's property and it is therefore understood and agreed that the name, trademark and service mark "U-Haul", and related marks, sl ogans, caricatures, designs and other trade or service items (the " Manager Trade Marks ") shall be utilized for the non-exclusive benefit of Owner in the rental and operation of the Property, and in comparable operations elsewhere. It is further understood and agreed that this name and all such marks, slogans, caricatures, designs and other trade or service items shall remain and be at all times the property of Manager and its affiliates, and that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Owner shall have no right whatsoever therein. Owner agrees that during the term of this Agreement the sign faces at the property will have the name "U-Haul." Upon termination of this Agreement at any time for any reason, all such use by and for the benefit of Owner of any such name, mark, slogan, caricature, design or other trade or service item in connection with the Property shall be terminated and any signs bearing any of the foregoing shall be removed from view and no longer used by Owner. In addition, upon ter mination of this Agreement at any time for any reason, Owner shall not enter into any new leases of Property using the Manager lease form or use other forms prepared by Manager. It is understood and agreed that Manager will use and shall be unrestricted i n its use of such name, mark, slogan, caricature, design or other trade or service item in the management and operation of other storage facilities both during and after the expiration or termination of the term of this Agreement.
6. Default; Termination.

(j) Legal Actions . Manager shall cause to be instituted, on behalf and in its name or in the name of Owner as appropriate, any and all legal actions or proceedings Manager deems necessary or advisable in connection with the Property, including, without limitation, to collect charges, rent or other income due to Owner with respect to the Property and to oust or dispossess tenants where appropriate or other persons unlawfully in possession under any lease, license, concession agreement or otherwise, and to collect damages for breach thereof or default thereunder by such Owner, licensee, co ncessionaire or occupant.
(k) Insurance . Manager will insure, on its Master Policy, against all liabilities at the Property at Manager’s sole cost and expense (“General Liability Insurance”). Any deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to the Gene ral Liability Insurance shall be at Manager’s (or Manager’s U-Haul affiliates’) responsibility and sole cost and expense. Manager will insure equipment at Manager’s cost, as determined by Manager. If requested by Owner, Manager will obtain for Owner, at Owner’s sole cost and expense, a policy of property insurance (“Property and Casualty Insurance”). Any such Property & Casualty Insurance shall meet Lender’s required coverage, to include earthquake, flood and other Lender requirements, as the case may b e, and shall be the cost of Owner. Manager’s obligations under this Section 2(k) shall be guaranteed by U-Haul International, Inc.
(l) Taxes . During the term of this Agreement, Manager shall pay on behalf of Owner, prior to delinquency, real estate taxes, personal property taxes, and other taxes assessed to, or levied upon, the Property, but only in the event requested by Owner. If requested, Manager will charge to Owner an expense monthly equal to 1/12 of annual- real property taxes.
(m) Limitations on Manage r Authority . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2, Manager shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Owner, (i) rent storage space in the Property by written lease or agreement for a stated term in excess of one year unless such lease or agreement is terminable by the giving of not more than thirty (30) days written notice, (ii) alter the building or other structures of the Property in violation of loan documents executed by Owner in connection with the Prope rty (“Loan
Documents”); (iii) enter on behalf of Owner any other agreements which exceed a term of one year and are not terminable on thirty day's notice at the will of Owner, without penalty, payment or surcharge; (iv) act in violation of any Law, (v) vio late any term or condition of the Loan Documents; (vi) fail to correct any misunderstanding of any third party of which Manager becomes aware as to the separateness of Owner and Manager; or (vii) except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, exercise a ny authority to act on behalf of, or hold itself out has having authority to act on behalf of, Owner.
(n) Shared Expenses . Owner acknowledges that certain economies may be achieved with respect to certain expenses to be incurred by Manager on behalf of Owne r hereunder if materials, supplies, insurance or services are purchased by Manager in quantity for use not only in connection with Owner's business at the Property but in connection with other properties owned or managed by Manager or its affiliates. Mana ger shall have the right to purchase such materials, supplies, insurance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) and/or services in its own name and charge Owner a pro rata allocable share of the cost of the foregoing; provided, however, that the pro rata cost of such purchase to Owner shall not result in expenses that are either inconsistent with the expenses of other "U-Haul branded" locations in the general vicinity of the applicable Property or greater than would otherwise be incurred at competitive pr ices and terms available in the area where the Property is located; and provided further, Manager shall give Owner access to records (at no cost to Owner) so Owner may review any such expenses incurred.
(o) Deposit of Gross Revenues . All revenue from operatio ns at the Property (“Gross Revenue”) shall be deposited daily by Manager into (i) a bank account that has been established for the benefit of Owner (the “Deposit Account”) and maintained by Manager (or its parent company); or (ii) a collective bank account (the “Collective Account”) maintained by Manager (or its parent company) for the benefit of multiple property owners. In either case, although the account may be in Owner’s name, Owner’s right to the proceeds therein only extends to Owner’s Revenue. On a daily basis, Manager shall transfer Owner’s Revenue in the Deposit Account or Collective Account, as the case may be, to Owner’s separately identified depositary account pledged to Lender (“Blocked Account”). To the extent that Gross Revenue is deposited into a Collective Account, Manager (or its parent company) shall on a daily basis reconcile such Collective Account and maintain such records as shall clearly identify the respective interest of each property owner in such account. Manager shall not, and shall not permit any other property owner or any affiliate of Manager to borrow, lend, use, pledge or otherwise encumber Owner’s Revenue while it is in a Deposit Account or Collective Account. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Cash Mana gement Agreement dated as of the date hereof between Owner, U.S. Bank National Association as Agent and Administrative Agent, and Manager (the “Cash Management Agreement”), during a Cash Sweep Period (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), the Owner ’s Revenue shall be transferred to the Cash Management Account and shall be governed by the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. The payment of Owner’s U-Move Commissions shall be governed by the terms of the Dealer Contract. Except as otherwise ex pressly set forth above or in the Cash Management Agreement or Blocked Account Agreement (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit Owner’s access to Owner’s Revenue, except during a Cash Sweep Period . Manager shall not deposit any Gross Revenues into any deposit accounts except as expressly permitted under this paragraph.
(p) Obligations under Loan Documents and other Material Contracts . Manager shall take such actions as are necessary or appropriate under the circumstances to ensure, to the extent Manager is privy to the information, that Owner is in compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents and any other material agreement relating to the Property to which Owner is a party and for which Manager is privy to the information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate Manager to fund from its own resources any payments owed by Owner under the Loan Documents or otherwise be deemed to make Manager a direct ob ligor under the Loan Documents.
(q) Obligations notwithstanding other Tenancy at the Property . Manager shall perform all of its obligations under this Agreement in a professional manner consistent with the standards it employs at all of its managed locations.
(r) Segregation . Owner and Manager shall maintain the Property and Owner’s Revenue in such a manner that it is not costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or identify Owner’s individual assets from those of Manager or any other person.

Owner shall cooperate with Manager in the performance of Manager's duties under this Agreement and to that end, upon the request of Manager, shall provide, at such rental charges, if any, as are deemed appropriate, reasonable office spac e for Manager employees on the premises of the Property (to the extent available). Owner shall not unreasonably withhold or delay any consent or authorization to Manager required or appropriate under this Agreement. Owner shall provide Manager with copies of all Loan Documents and any amendments thereto.

The invoice for the management fee shall be itemized and shall include reasonable detail to explain the expenses incurred.

Manager shall take such actions as are necessary or appropriate under the circumstances to ensure, to the extent Manager is privy to the information, that Owner is in compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents and any other material agreement relating to the Property to which Owner is a party and for which Manager is privy to the information.

On a daily basis, Manager shall transfer Owner’s Revenue in the Deposit Account or Collective Account, as the case may be, to Owner’s separately identified depositary account pledged to Lender (“Blocked Account”). To the extent that Gross Revenue is deposited into a Collective Account, Manager (or its parent company) shall on a daily basis reconcile such Collective Account and maintain such records as shall clearly identify the respective interest of each property owner in such account. Manager shall not, and shall not permit any other property owner or any affiliate of Manager to borrow, lend, use, pledge or otherwise encumber Owner’s Revenue while it is in a Deposit Account or Collective Account.

Manager shall take such actions as are necessary or appropriate under the circumstances to ensure, to the extent Manager is privy to the information, that Owner is in compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents and any other material agreement relating to the Property to which Owner is a party and for which Manager is privy to the information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate Manager to fund from its own resources any payments owed by Owner under the Loan Documents or otherwise be deemed to make Manager a direct ob ligor under the Loan Documents.
