(c)           Leasing Functions .  Manager shall coordinate the leasing of the Properties and shall negotiate and use its best efforts to secure executed Leases from qualified tenants, and to execute same on behalf of Owner, if requested, for available space in the Properties, such Leases to be in form and on terms approved by Owner and Manager, and to bring about complete leasing of the Properties.  Manager shall be responsible for the hiring of all leasing agents, as necessary for the leasing of the Properties, and to otherwise oversee and manage the leasing process on behalf of Owner.
