However, the Manager may require that the terms and conditions of all contracts entered into by the Manager on behalf of the Owner, pursuant to its duties under this Agreement and pursuant to its authority hereunder, shall acknowledge that such contracts create a contractual relationship between the other party thereto and the Owner and that the Manager is in a representative capacity and, where any such contracts do not specifically provide, the Owner acknowledges, nevertheless, that the Manager, although it may be personally liable to a third party, is in a representative capacity acting on behalf of the Owner and shall be indemnified by it.

It is understood and agreed, however, that in carrying out its duties and obligations hereunder, the Manager will not be responsible for matters beyond its reasonable control or for matters involving the expenditure of funds which are not made available by the Owner (after due and proper notice from the Manager) and it is understood that the responsibility of the Manager in performing the services and functions mentioned shall be limited in each case to exercising in such performance the same degree of care and skill and supervision as would be exercised by any reasonable and prudent owner 18 experienced in performing like services and functions and that, as manager, the Manager shall not be held responsible for the defaults of contractors or other parties so long as it has exercised due care in selecting respectable and competent contractors and third parties retained in connection with the operation of the Business and has taken reasonable measures within its power to avoid such defaults.
