CBRE REAL ESTATE MARKETING AND BROKERAGE SERVICES PROPOSAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST We are unaware of any local, regional or national conflicts of interest that CBRE may have regarding the scope of Real Estate Marketing and Brokerage Services as outlined in this Request for Proposal. Since CBRE is the leading commercial real estate services company in many of our regional coverage areas and local marketplaces, situations where the firm has perceived conflicts of interest are not unusual. As a benefit, this often means that CBRE has unequaled access to market information that our competitors do not. To ensure that any potential conflict situations are addressed up front and managed properly, CBRE adheres to numerous internal guidelines, policies, and procedures, the details of which are provided below. In the case of a potential dual agency (whether it is the local implementing professional who represents the Client, or another CBRE professional who represents the owner or sublessor), the situation is immediately disclosed by the Account Team. The Client can then decide how best to manage the situation with the Account Team up to and including substituting particular team members on assignments. Our written corporate policy dictates that members of every project team must have no communications, direct or indirect, with members of any outside team on any matter that would or might compromise the confidentiality of the client relationship or any private or proprietary information and documents. Document production, circulation, and storage will be segregated and restricted to the team producing the material. Appropriate instructions to staff are already in place and are periodically reinforced. Access to computer programs and databases is already restricted appropriately with individual security codes. As a company policy, neither CBRE nor its employees owns real estate that would put it in a position of potential conflict of interest with its clients. CBRE will execute and deliver a confidentiality agreement and, if requested, the agreement will be countersigned by each individual member of the account team. This methodology has permitted CBRE to complete tens of thousands of transactions annually for our clients, as both tenant and landlord representatives, while successfully managing potential conflicts on all corporate accounts. 18 I CBRE
