Historically Underutilized Businesses (“HUBs”). In accordance with state law, it is TFC’s policy to assist HUBs whenever possible to participate in providing goods and services to the agency.

If PSP subcontracts with others for some or all of the services to be performed under an Assignment to this Agreement, PSP shall comply with all HUB requirements pursuant to Chapter 2161 of the Texas Government Code. At or prior to the execution of an Assignment with a value that is anticipated to meet or exceed One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), PSP must provide a completed HUB Subcontracting Plan, which shall be approved by TFC prior to execution of the Assignment. A copy of the HUB Subcontracting Form is attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes as Exhibit G.

Annual Business Plan (a) On or before November 15th of each year during the term of this Agreement, Manager shall prepare and submit to Owner for Owner's prior approval an annual business and leasing plan in accordance with the requirements of EXHIBIT D hereto (as such EXHIBIT D may be modified by Owner from time to time) (the "ANNUAL BUSINESS PLAN"). The Annual Business Plan shall be a comprehensive plan for the management, operation, leasing, repair, maintenance and promotion of the Property and for the other matters set forth on EXHIBIT D. Manager shall consult the Owner concerning the proposed Annual Business Plan and shall promptly incorporate therein such changes as Owner may direct. The Annual Business Plan, and all budgets contained therein, shall be in a form consistent with the Reporting Package. (b) Manager shall: (i) perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the Approved Annual Business Plan; and (ii) use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the actual costs of maintaining and operating the Property do not exceed the operating budget (the "OPERATING BUDGET") which is a part of the Approved Annual Business Plan either in total or in any one accounting category. All actual expenses must be charged to the proper account on a basis consistent with the Operating Budget classifications and Reporting Package. Except in case of emergencies which could reasonably pose a threat of injury to persons or property, in which event Manager shall inform Owner of such emergency within two (2) business days, no expense may be reclassified except as needed to correct an inadvertent error. Manager will secure Owner's prior approval for any expenditure that will result in a variance of the greater of $5,000 or 5% of the annual budgeted amount in any one accounting line item of the Operating Budget. In addition, Manager shall obtain Owner's prior approval for any expenditure in excess of $5,000, regardless of whether such expenditure is set forth in the Approved Annual Business Plan. (c) Owner shall have the right to require changes in the Approved Annual Business Plan from time to time; provided, however, that Owner shall provide Manager with at least fifteen (15) days' notice of such changes.
