Employees are expected to devote their best efforts to further the interests of Employer and endeavor in every proper way to make the efforts of Employer successful.

DEFINITION FULL-TIME & PART-TIME For the purposes of employment the Employer defines a full-time employee as one who is nonseasonal and has worked an average of thirty-two (32) or more hours per week for the last fiftytwo (52) weeks. A part-time employee is defined as one who has worked an average of less than thirty-two (32) or more hours per week for the last fifty-two (52) weeks.

E12 Page 5 of 24 COMPENSATION & EMPLOYEE REVIEWS Employee’s compensation shall be documented by the completion of an approved NOPA form and approved by Employee’s supervisor and Vice-President of their department. Initially and upon each modification, Employee will be provided copies of their approved NOPAs. Employee shall be classified as either salaried or hourly employee. Salaried employees, who supervise three (3) or more employees shall be considered “exempt” and shall not receive overtime. All other employees shall be considered “non-exempt” and shall be paid overtime when authorized to do so in writing beforehand by their supervisor. Foremen, supervisors, managers, and vice presidents, as well as all other “exempt” employees are considered strictly salaried and shall not be paid overtime under any conditions. Exempt employees shall be expected to expend all necessary time and energy to complete their job assignment(s). These individuals are responsible for the performance of their areas of responsibility and are expected to do whatever necessary to ensure the smooth and profitable functioning of their department. On-site employees who directly perform apartment administration, leasing or maintenance may be eligible to earn additional compensation in the form of bonuses and commissions. Pay periods for both salary and hourly employees commence on a Monday and terminate on a Sunday and will include at least two (2) weeks, but may include three (3) weeks depending on where a payday falls in relation to the pay period. Employees will be paid, for pay-periods worked, on the 1st and 15th of each month. For budgeting purposes employees need to be aware that pay days fall approximately two (2) weeks after the end of each pay period. The payroll schedule (annual calendar) in effect is available at the Marathon Forms / Documents web site. Timesheets for “non-exempt” employees are prepared by the Human Resources Department and presented to “non-exempt” employees for signature based upon the hours worked for each pay period. Employees and respective supervisors must sign and return these time sheets promptly. Employee’s failure to return signed and approved time sheets promptly may result in termination. Salaries or salary pay rates may only be changed upon the completion of an “Employee Performance Review” form and the completion of an approved NOPA. Employee’s respective supervisor(s) shall review Employee’s performance ninety (90) days after employment, the “probationary period,” and thereafter each December after one full calendar year of employment. The “Employee Performance Review” form shall be used for the purpose of documenting this review. Non-scheduled reviews may be initiated by employee’s supervisor whenever necessary to document exceptional or deficient performance. “Employee Performance Review” forms are to be used to initiate and recommend increases in compensation or to document disciplinary action. Salary information is strictly confidential. Any employee who relates or discusses his or her own salary or that of any other employee with any other employee(s) or other individual(s), directly or indirectly, will be in violation of Employer’s Personnel Policies and Conditions of Employment. Such violation of salary confidentiality is grounds for immediate termination. Employee’s Initials__________ © Copyright 2011 Marathon Management, Inc.

When planning to take family or medical leave, employee must submit a written request for a “Leave of Absence”` and consult with their supervisor to schedule leave so not to unduly disrupt the company’s operations.

When requested to do so, employee must provide, within fifteen (15) days a “Certification of Health Care Provider” (US DOL Form WH 380) for any leave five (5) days or longer. Failure to do so may result in denial of leave or disciplinary action up to and including termination.

For example, if employee would have been laid off or terminated while actively at work, then employee may be laid-off off or terminated during their absence. Employees shall not accrue vacation or sick days during any part of the time employee is on Family or Medical Leave.

The circumstances shall determine the length of the leave but shall not exceed three (3) days. Returning employees are not guaranteed the same job, pay rate or benefits.

E12 Page 21 of 24 Exhibit D Sexual Harassment Policy Statement

Employer affirms its commitment to ensuring an environment for all employees that is fair, humane, and respectful; an environment that supports and rewards employee performance on the basis of relevant considerations such as ability and effort. Behaviors that inappropriately assert sexuality as relevant to employee performance are damaging to this environment. As part of Employer’s continuing affirmative action efforts and pursuant to the guidelines on sex discrimination issued under Section 703 of Title VII, by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Employer endorses the following policy: 1. It is illegal and against the policies of this Company for any employee, male or female, to sexually harass another employee by (a) making unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, a condition of an employee’s continued employment, or (b) making submission to or rejections of such conduct the basis for employment decisions affecting the employee, or (c) creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment by such conduct. 2. Any employee who believes he or she has been the subject of sexual discrimination or harassment should report the alleged act immediately in writing to the President of Marathon Management, Inc. An investigation of all complaints will be undertaken immediately. Any supervisor, department head or other employee who has been found by Employer, after appropriate investigation, to have sexually discriminated against or harassed another employee will be subject to appropriate sanctions, including possible termination, depending on the circumstances. Employer accepts the proposition that sexual harassment, like any civil rights violation, generates a harmful atmosphere in the workplace. Employer further recognizes that the question of whether a particular action or incident is a purely personal, social relationship without a discriminatory employment effect requires a determination based on all the facts in this matter. Employer also recognizes that false accusations of sexual harassment can have serious effects on innocent women and men. We expect all employees to act responsibly and to ensure a pleasant working environment free of discrimination.

To satisfy these responsibilities, Employer must establish a work environment where our employees, clients and the general public are free from the effects of drugs, alcohol, or other job-impairing substances. Employees reporting for work, working, or “on call” under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, drugs not medically authorized, or any other controlled or illegal substances which impair job performance, or who pose a hazard to the safety and welfare of others is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate disciplinary action including suspension or termination. Employees found to be in the possession of any of the above substances will also be subject to immediate disciplinary action including suspension or termination. For the purposes of this policy “work time” shall include lunch, breaks, rest periods and assigned to “on call” work status. Employees must promptly report in writing to the Human Resources Department the use of all medically authorized drugs (prescription drugs) or other substances which can impair job performance, and provide written medical authorization from a physician to work while using such authorized drugs. It is the Employee’s responsibility to determine from their physician whether or not the prescribed drug would impair his or her job performance. Failure to report the use of such drugs or other substances and to provide proper medical authorization may result in disciplinary action including suspension or termination. Whenever Employer has reasonable suspicion that an employee is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the employee in question will be asked to submit to discovery testing to identify the use of alcohol or drugs. Any trace of alcohol, illegal drugs, and drugs not medically authorized, or any other controlled or illegal substances which impair job performance, revealed by the discovery test will be grounds for disciplinary action including suspension or termination. Any accident involving property or equipment damage, or physical injury will be cause for discovery testing for drugs and alcohol. In addition to individualized testing based upon reasonable suspicion, Employer may require any or all employees to submit to periodic and unannounced discovery testing. An employee who is found to be under the influence of or impaired by alcohol, controlled or illegal drugs, or other substance covered by this policy as stated above, will be subject to disciplinary action including immediate suspension or termination An employee who refuses to submit to discovery testing for alcohol, controlled or illegal drugs will be subjected to immediate suspension or termination.

E12 Page 23 of 24 without notice for alcohol, controlled or illegal substances or any other substances which may impair job performance. Refusal to submit to any such inspection or refusal to cooperate in any investigation will subject the employee to disciplinary action including immediate suspension or termination. In lieu of termination for on-site use or possession of alcohol or drugs the Employer may, at the company’s sole discretion, seek to provide through Employer’s health insurance and other welfare agencies, including directing employees to a drug rehabilitation program, an opportunity for employees to deal with drug and alcohol related problems when any employee voluntarily requests assistance in dealing with a personal drug and/or alcohol problem before prescribed or unannounced testing. The discontinuation of any involvement with alcohol or drugs is an essential requisite for participation in any treatment program. Employer solely reserves the right to determine whether reasonable suspicion exists, the level of discipline to be applied and whether an employee should be given the opportunity to participate in a drug or alcohol treatment program, provided however, that its’ determinations shall not be arbitrary or capricious. For the Purpose of this Alcohol and Drug Policy the following definition of terms is provided: Reasonable suspicion is defined as specific articulable observations concerning such circumstances as the work performance, appearance (including, for example, noticeable odor of an alcoholic beverage or cannabis), behavior, or speech of employee, or as being involved in an accident on Company premises or Company managed premises which results in physical injury or property damage. Under the Influence is defined as any detectable level of alcohol or drugs in an employee’s blood or urine or any noticeable or perceptible impairment of the employee’s mental or physical faculties. Controlled substances are defined as all forms of narcotics, depressants, stimulants, hallucinogens, and cannabis, whose sale, purchase, transfer, use or possession is prohibited or restricted by law. Over-the-counter-drugs are those which are generally available without a prescription from a medical doctor and are limited to those drugs which are capable of impairing the judgment of any employee to safely perform his or her duties. Prescription drugs are defined as those drugs which are used in the course of medical treatment and have been prescribed and authorized for use by a licensed practitioner / physician or dentist. I have read and fully understand the Employer’s Alcohol and Drug Policy stated above
