earn interest in accordance with the rates published on property specific
websites. These client accounts are held in designated individual trust accounts separate from

arrangements reward the Manager for the overall aggregate balance of client funds held with

part of such overall aggregate balances.

below, the Manager shall not borrow from the reserve funds for the property to pay for Services, unless
the Client has approved this in writing in advance.

the Manager to borrow from the reserve account, a sum equivalent to 10% of the annual service charge
budget for the relevant schedule, (excluding reserve contributions) without prior notification or
approval, such loan to be notified to the Client within 5 working days, and subject to funds being repaid
