Exhibit E is an Agency Agreement and Authorization for Property Manager, a certification for lessors in government lease agreements. Its purpose is to confirm that an agent (property manager) has the legal authority to act on behalf of the property owner. The document requires the owner to certify the agent's power to sign leases, supplemental agreements, and amendments, bind the owner to terms, collect payments, manage maintenance, and release the United States from obligations. This form is crucial in government RFPs and lease processes, ensuring that the individual signing on behalf of the owner is legally authorized, thus providing a layer of legal security and clarity in federal, state, and local government property transactions.

The document "CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORIZATION" is a legal form intended to certify the authority of individuals to sign lease agreements on behalf of a corporation, LLC, or partnership. It serves to validate that the signatory is authorized by their respective entity's governing body or partnership agreement to bind the organization as the Lessor in a lease. The form includes sections for corporate/LLC certification, requiring the name and title of the certifying individual, the name of the person who signed the lease, and a date and seal. A separate section for partnership certification requires two general partners to confirm the authority of the signatory. This document ensures legal compliance and proper authorization in contractual agreements, particularly relevant in government RFPs, grants, and state/local RFPs where legal standing and authorized representation are crucial for securing and executing contracts.
