PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) was formed on March 4, 1993 as a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”). All references to “Acadia,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Company” refer to the Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are a fully integrated REIT focused on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment, and management of high-quality retail properties and urban/infill mixed-use properties with a strong retail component located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply constrained, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States along the East Coast and in Chicago. We currently own, or have an ownership interest in these properties through our Core Portfolio (as defined in Item 2. of this Form 10-K) and our Opportunity Funds (as defined in Item 1 of this Form 10-K). We also have private equity investments in other retail real estate related opportunities in which we have a minority equity interest.
All of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of December 31, 2012 , the Trust controlled 99% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common OP Units” or “Preferred OP Units”, respectively, and collectively, “OP Units”) and employees who have been awarded restricted Common OP Units ("LTIP Units") as long-term incentive compensation. Limited partners holding Common OP and LTIP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for our common shares of beneficial interest of the Trust (“Common Shares”). This structure is referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or “UPREIT”.
BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
Our primary business objective is to acquire and manage commercial retail properties that will provide cash for distributions to shareholders while also creating the potential for capital appreciation to enhance investor returns. We focus on the following fundamentals to achieve this objective:
Own and operate a Core Portfolio of high-quality retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas. Our goal is to create value through accretive redevelopment and re-anchoring activities within our existing portfolio and grow this platform through the acquisition of high-quality assets that have the long-term potential to outperform the asset class.

Generate additional external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program within our Opportunity Funds (as defined below). We target transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through:

value-add investments in high-quality urban and/or street retail properties with re-tenanting or repositioning opportunities,
opportunistic acquisitions of well-located real-estate anchored by distressed retailers or by motivated sellers and
opportunistic purchases of debt which may include restructuring.

These may also include joint ventures with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets.

Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth.
Investment Strategy — Generate External Growth through our Dual Platforms; Core Portfolio and Opportunity Funds
The requirements that acquisitions be accretive on a long-term basis based on our cost of capital, as well as increase the overall Core Portfolio quality and value, are key strategic considerations to the growth of our Core Portfolio. As such, we constantly evaluate the blended cost of equity and debt and adjust the amount of acquisition activity to align the level of investment activity with capital flows.

Given the growing importance of technology and e-commerce, many of our retail tenants are appropriately focused on multi-channel sales and how to best utilize e-commerce initiatives to drive sales at their stores. In light of these initiatives, we have found retailers are becoming more selective as to the location, size and format of their next-generation stores and are focused on dense, high-traffic retail corridors, where they can utilize smaller and more productive formats closer to their shopping population. In addition to retailer multi-channeling initiatives, we also believe that retailers continue to recognize that many of the nation’s urban markets are under-served from a retail standpoint, and we have capitalized on this situation by investing in redevelopment projects in dense urban areas where retail tenant demand has effectively surpassed the supply of available sites. Accordingly, our focus for Core Portfolio and Opportunity Fund acquisitions is on those properties which we believe will not only remain relevant to our tenants, but become even more so in the future. In connection with our Core Portfolio acquisition activity, we may also engage in discussions with public and private entities regarding business combinations.
In addition to our Core Portfolio investments in real estate assets, we have also capitalized on our expertise in the acquisition, redevelopment, leasing and management of retail real estate by establishing discretionary opportunity funds. Our opportunity fund platform is an investment vehicle where the Operating Partnership invests, along with outside institutional investors, including, but not limited to, endowments, foundations, pension funds, and investment management companies, in primarily opportunistic and value-add retail real estate. To date, we have launched four opportunity funds (“Opportunity Funds”); Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund, LP (“Fund I”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III”) and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC ("Fund IV"). Due to the level of our control, we consolidate these Opportunity Funds for financial reporting purposes. The Opportunity Funds also include investments in operating companies through Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC ("Mervyns I"), Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC ("Mervyns II") and Fund II, all on a non-recourse basis. These investments comprise and are referred to as the Company's Retailer Controlled Property Initiative ("RCP Venture").
The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner or managing member of the Opportunity Funds and earns fees or priority distributions for asset management, property management, construction, redevelopment, leasing and legal services. Cash flows from the Opportunity Funds are distributed pro-rata to their respective partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until each receives a certain cumulative return ("Preferred Return"), and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 20% to the Operating Partnership ("Promote") and 80% to the partners or members (including the Operating Partnership).
Reference is made to Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which begin on page F-1 of this Form 10-K ("Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"), for a detailed discussion of the Opportunity Funds and RCP Venture.
Capital Strategy — Balance Sheet Focus and Access to Capital
Our primary capital objective is to maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices, including a moderate use of leverage, while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth. We intend to continue financing acquisitions and property redevelopment with sources of capital determined by management to be the most appropriate based on, among other factors, availability in the current capital markets, pricing and other commercial and financial terms. The sources of capital may include the issuance of public equity, unsecured debt, mortgage and construction loans, and other capital alternatives including the issuance of OP Units. We manage our interest rate risk primarily through the use of fixed rate debt and, where we use variable rate debt, we use certain derivative instruments, including London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) swap agreements and interest rate caps as discussed further in Item 7A. of this Form 10-K.
During January 2012, we established an at-the-market (“ATM”) equity program with an aggregate offering of up to $75.0 million of gross proceeds from the sale of Common Shares. Under this program, we issued approximately 3.3 million Common Shares which generated net proceeds of $73.7 million.

During August 2012, we established a new ATM equity program with an additional aggregate offering of up to $125.0 million of gross proceeds from the sale of Common Shares. Through December 31, 2012, we issued approximately 2.8 million Common Shares which generated net proceeds of $67.8 million. We intend to use the future net proceeds of this or potential future ATM offerings primarily to fund acquisitions directly in the Core Portfolio and through its capital contributions to the Opportunity Funds.

During October 2012, we issued approximately 3.5 million Common Shares in a separate follow-on offering, for $86.9 million. Net proceeds after expenses were approximately $85.8 million. The proceeds were primarily used for acquisitions, including our pro-rata share of acquisitions in Fund IV and for general corporate purposes.

During January 2013, we closed on a new unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $150 million, which matures on January 31, 2016 with an additional one year extension option. As of February 27, 2013, no proceeds have been drawn on this facility.

Operating Strategy — Experienced Management Team with Proven Track Record
Our senior management team has decades of experience in the real estate industry. We have capitalized on our expertise in the acquisition, redevelopment, leasing and management of retail real estate by creating value through property redevelopment, re-anchoring and establishing joint ventures, such as the Opportunity Funds, in which we earn, in addition to a return on our equity interest, Promotes, fees and priority distributions.
Operating functions such as leasing, property management, construction, finance and legal (collectively, the “Operating Departments”) are generally provided by our personnel, providing for a vertically integrated operating platform. By incorporating the Operating Departments in the acquisition process, acquisitions are appropriately priced giving effect to each asset’s specific risks and returns and transition time is minimized allowing management to immediately execute on its strategic plan for each asset.
Our Core Portfolio consists primarily of urban/street retail properties and neighborhood and community shopping centers located in high barrier-to-entry supply constrained markets. As we typically hold our Core Portfolio properties for long-term investment, we periodically review the existing portfolio and implement programs to renovate and modernize targeted properties to enhance their market position. This in turn strengthens the competitive position of the leasing program to attract and retain quality tenants, increasing cash flow, and consequently, property values. From time to time, we also identify certain properties for disposition and redeploy the capital for acquisitions and for the repositioning of existing centers with greater potential for capital appreciation.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Core Portfolio
See Item 2. PROPERTIES for the definition of our Core Portfolio.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, we continued to execute on our strategy of owning a superior Core Portfolio by acquiring, through our Operating Partnership, high-quality, street/urban and suburban retail assets located in densely populated areas for an aggregate purchase price of $224.3 million. Reference is made to Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a detailed discussion of these acquisitions.
In addition, as of December 31, 2012 we have a current acquisition pipeline of $86.6 million under contract, which is subject to certain closing conditions and as such, no assurance can be given that closing will be successfully completed. See Item 2. PROPERTIES for a description of the other properties in our Core Portfolio.
Since 2010, we have sold one Core Portfolio asset, the Ledgewood Mall. This 517,151 square foot center located in Ledgewood, New Jersey was sold during May 2011 for $37.0 million.
We also make investments in first mortgages and other notes receivable collateralized by real estate, either directly or through entities having an ownership interest therein. During 2012, we invested $43.3 million in first mortgage notes and $46.9 million in other notes receivable. Reference is made to Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a detailed discussion of our notes receivable and other real estate related investments.
Opportunity Funds
Acquisitions
Fund III
During 2012, Fund III acquired properties for an aggregate purchase price of $108.0 million. Reference is made to Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a detailed discussion of these acquisitions.
Fund IV
During 2012, Fund IV acquired its first properties for an aggregate purchase price of $151.2 million. Reference is made to Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a detailed discussion of these acquisitions.

Dispositions
Self-Storage Portfolio
During February 2008, Fund III, in conjunction with Storage Post, acquired a portfolio of eleven self-storage properties from Storage Post’s existing institutional investors for approximately $174.0 million. In addition, we, through Fund II, developed three self-storage properties. The 14 self-storage property portfolio, located throughout New York and New Jersey, totaled approximately 1.1 million net rentable square feet, and was operating at various stages of stabilization. During the fourth quarter of 2012, we sold 12 of the 14 properties in this portfolio for an aggregate sales price of $261.6 million. The remaining two properties are under contract, which we anticipate closing during 2013.
Other Dispositions
During 2012, Funds I, II and III sold four additional shopping centers for an aggregate sales price of $184.1 million. Reference is made to Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a detailed discussion of these dispositions.
Redevelopment Activities
As part of our Opportunity Fund strategy, we invest in real estate assets that require significant redevelopment. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had eight redevelopment projects, one of which is under construction and seven are in the design phase as follows:

Notes:
TBD – To be determined
(1) Anticipated additional costs are estimated ranges for completing the projects and include costs for tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
(2) These projects are being redeveloped by Acadia Urban Development LLC ("Acadia Urban Development"), or subsidiaries thereof, in connection with Fund II's New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative. See Item 7. of this Form 10-K for further information on the Acadia Urban Development joint venture as detailed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources – New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative.”
Under Construction
CityPoint — During June of 2007, Acadia-Washington Square Albee and an unaffiliated joint venture partner, California Urban Investment Partners, LLC (“CUIP”) purchased the leasehold interests in The Gallery at Fulton Street in downtown Brooklyn for approximately $115.0 million, with an option to purchase the fee position, which is owned by the City of New York, at a later date. On June 30, 2010, Acadia-Washington Square Albee acquired all of CUIP’s interest in CityPoint for total consideration of $9.2 million and the assumption of CUIP’s share of debt of $19.6 million. The redevelopment will proceed in three phases. Construction is completed on Phase 1, a five-story retail building of approximately 50,000 square feet. Phase 2, which is currently under construction, will consist of approximately 625,000 square feet of additional retail when completed. Phase 2 will also contain an affordable and market-rate residential component. Phase 3 is anticipated to be a stand-alone mixed use, but primarily residential building, of approximately 650,000 square feet. Completion of the construction of this project is anticipated to be during 2015.

RCP Venture
During 2004, through Funds I and II, or affiliates thereof, we entered into an association, known as the RCP Venture, with Klaff Realty, L.P. (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. Mervyns I and II along with Fund II have invested a total of $62.2 million in the RCP Venture to date on a non-recourse basis. Reference is made to Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a detailed discussion of the RCP Venture.
While we are primarily a passive partner in the investments made through the RCP Venture, historically we have provided our services in reviewing potential acquisitions and operating and redevelopment assistance in areas where we have both a presence and expertise. In the future, we may seek to opportunistically invest either on our own, with the RCP Venture or with other partners in similar investments, which may include:
- Investment in operating retailers to control their real estate through private equity joint ventures
- Collaboration with financially healthy retailers to create value from their surplus real estate
- Investment in properties, designation rights or other control of real estate or leases associated with retailers in bankruptcy
- Completion of sale-leasebacks with retailers in need of capital
Mervyns Department Stores
In September 2004, we made our first RCP Venture investment. Through Mervyns I and Mervyns II, we invested in a consortium to acquire Mervyns consisting of 262 stores (“REALCO”) and its retail operation (“OPCO”) from Target Corporation. To date, REALCO has disposed of a significant portion of the portfolio. In addition, during November 2007, we sold our interest in, and as a result, have no further investment in OPCO. During 2012, a legal proceeding relating to the disposition of OPCO was settled. Reference is made to Item 3. Part 1 of this Form 10-K for a detailed description of this settlement.
Through December 31, 2012 , we, through Mervyns I and Mervyns II, made additional investments in locations that are separate from these original investments (“Add-On Investments”) in Mervyns.
Albertson’s
During June of 2006, the RCP Venture made its second investment as part of an investment consortium, acquiring Albertson’s and Cub Foods. In addition, we have since made Add-On Investments in Albertson’s.
Other RCP Investments
We have also made other RCP investments in Shopko, Marsh, Rex Stores and in Add-On Investments in Marsh.
Reference is made to Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a detailed discussion of these investments.
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
For information relating to environmental laws that may have an impact on our business, please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors - Possible liability relating to environmental matters.”
COMPETITION
There are numerous entities that compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition and tenants that will lease space in our properties. Our competitors include other REITs, financial institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, private companies and individuals. Our properties compete for tenants with similar properties primarily on the basis of location, total occupancy costs (including base rent and operating expenses) and the design and condition of the improvements.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET SEGMENTS
We have four reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Opportunity Funds, Notes Receivable and Other. Notes Receivable consists of our notes receivable and related interest income. Other primarily consists of management fees and interest income. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies set forth in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We evaluate property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items. Investments in our Core Portfolio are typically held long-term. Given the contemplated finite life of our Opportunity Funds, these investments are typically held for shorter terms. Fees earned by us as general partner or managing member of the Opportunity Funds are eliminated in our Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for information regarding, among other things, revenues from external

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition would likely suffer. This section includes or refers to certain forward-looking statements. Refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements discussed in the beginning of this Form 10-K.
We rely on revenues derived from major tenants.
We derive significant revenues from certain anchor tenants that occupy space in more than one center. We could be adversely affected in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants, or in the event that any such tenant does not renew its leases as they expire or renews such leases at lower rental rates. Vacated anchor space not only would reduce rental revenues, but if not re-tenanted at the same rental rates could adversely affect the entire shopping center because of the loss of the departed anchor tenant's customer drawing power. Loss of customer drawing power also can occur through the exercise of the right, that most anchors have, to vacate and prevent re-tenanting by paying rent for the balance of the lease term (“going dark”) as would the departure of a “shadow” anchor tenant that owns its own property. In addition, in the event that certain major tenants cease to occupy a property, such an action may result in a significant number of other tenants having the right to terminate their leases, or pay a reduced rent based on a percentage of the tenant's sales, at the affected property, which could adversely affect the future income from such property (“co-tenancy”). See “Item 2. Properties-Major Tenants” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for quantified information with respect to the percentage of our minimum rents received from major tenants.
We may not be able to renew current leases and the terms of re-letting (including the cost of concessions to tenants) may be less favorable to us than current lease terms.
Upon the expiration of current leases for space located in our properties, we may not be able to re-let all or a portion of that space, or the terms of re-letting (including the cost of concessions to tenants) may be less favorable to us than current lease terms. If we are unable to re-let promptly all or a substantial portion of the space located in our properties or if the rental rates we receive upon re-letting are significantly lower than current rates, our net income and ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders will be adversely affected due to the resulting reduction in revenues. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain tenants in any of our properties upon the expiration of their leases. See “Item 2. Properties - Lease Expirations” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information as to the scheduled lease expirations in our portfolio.

The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants or a significant number of our smaller tenants may adversely affect our cash flows and property values.
The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants causing them to reject their leases, or not renew their leases as they expire, or renew at lower rental rates, may adversely affect our cash flows and property values. Furthermore, the impact of vacated anchor space and the potential reduction in customer traffic may adversely impact the balance of tenants at a shopping center.
Historically and from time to time, certain of our tenants experienced financial difficulties and filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11 Bankruptcy”). Pursuant to bankruptcy law, tenants have the right to reject their leases. In the event the tenant exercises this right, the landlord generally has the right to file a claim for lost rent equal to the greater of either one year's rent (including tenant expense reimbursements) for remaining terms greater than one year, or 15% of the rent remaining under the balance of the lease term, but not to exceed three years rent. Actual amounts to be received in satisfaction of those claims will be subject to the tenant's final plan of reorganization and the availability of funds to pay its creditors.
Although currently none of our critical tenants are in bankruptcy, experience shows that there can be no assurance that one or more of our major tenants will be immune from bankruptcy.
Internet sales can have an impact on our business.
The use of the internet by consumers continues to gain in popularity. The migration toward internet sales is likely to continue. This increase in internet sales could result in a downturn in the business of our current tenants and could affect the way future tenants lease space.
While we devote considerable effort and resources to analyze and respond to tenant trends, preferences and consumer spending patterns, we cannot predict with certainty what future tenants will want, what future retail spaces will look like and how much revenue will be generated at traditional “bricks and mortar” locations. If we are unable to anticipate and respond promptly to trends in the market due to the illiquid nature of real estate (See the Risk Factor entitled, “Our ability to change our portfolio is limited because real estate investments are illiquid” below), our occupancy levels and financial results could suffer.
The current economic environment, while improving, may cause us to lose tenants and may impair our ability to borrow money to purchase properties, refinance existing debt or finance our current redevelopment projects.
Our operations and performance depend on general economic conditions, including the health of the consumer. The U.S. economy's recently experienced financial downturn, included a decline in consumer spending, credit tightening and high unemployment.
The current economic environment also had, and continues to have, an impact on the global credit markets. While we currently believe we have adequate sources of liquidity, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain mortgage loans to purchase additional properties, obtain financing to complete current redevelopment projects, or successfully refinance our properties as loans become due. To the extent that the availability of credit is limited, it would also adversely impact our notes receivable as counterparties may not be able to obtain the financing required to repay the loans upon maturity.
Political and economic uncertainty could have an adverse effect on us.
We cannot predict how current political and economic uncertainty, including uncertainty related to taxation, will affect our critical tenants, joint venture partners, lenders, financial institutions and general economic conditions, including the health and confidence of the consumer and the volatility of the stock market.
Political and economic uncertainty poses a risk to the Company in that it may cause consumers to postpone discretionary spending in response to tighter credit, reduced consumer confidence and other macroeconomic factors affecting consumer spending behavior, resulting in a downturn in the business of our tenants. In the event current political and economic uncertainty results in financial turmoil affecting the banking system and financial markets or significant financial service institution failures, there could be a new or incremental tightening in the credit markets, low liquidity, and extreme volatility in fixed income, credit, currency and equity markets. Each of these could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
There are risks relating to investments in real estate.
Real property investments are subject to multiple risks. Real estate values are affected by a number of factors, including: changes in the general economic climate, local conditions (such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in an area), the quality and philosophy of management, competition from other available space, the ability of the owner to provide adequate maintenance and insurance and to control variable operating costs. Shopping centers, in particular, may be affected by changing perceptions of retailers or shoppers regarding the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the shopping center and by the overall climate for the retail industry. Real estate values are also affected by such factors as government regulations, interest rate levels, the availability of financing and potential liability under, and changes in, environmental, zoning, tax and other laws.

A significant portion of our income is derived from rental income from real property. Our income and cash flow would be adversely affected if we were unable to rent our vacant space to viable tenants on economically favorable terms. In the event of default by a tenant, we may experience delays in enforcing, as well as incur substantial costs to enforce, our rights as a landlord. In addition, certain significant expenditures associated with each equity investment (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs) are generally not reduced even though there may be a reduction in income from the investment.
Our ability to change our portfolio is limited because real estate investments are illiquid.
Equity investments in real estate are relatively illiquid and, therefore, our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changed conditions is limited. Our Board of Trustees may establish investment criteria or limitations as it deems appropriate, but currently does not limit the number of properties in which we may seek to invest or on the concentration of investments in any one geographic region. We could change our investment, disposition and financing policies without a vote of our shareholders.
We could become highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions. In addition, the viability of the interest rate hedges we use is subject to the strength of the counterparties.
We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, indebtedness to support our activities. Neither our Declaration of Trust nor any policy statement formally adopted by our Board of Trustees limits either the total amount of indebtedness or the specified percentage of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions.
Interest expense on our variable rate debt as of December 31, 2012 would increase by $2.9 million annually for a 100 basis point increase in interest rates. We may seek additional variable rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable rate debt, primarily through interest rate swaps but can use other means.
We enter into interest rate hedging transactions, including interest rate swaps and cap agreements, with counterparties, generally, the same lenders who made the loan in question. There can be no guarantee that the future financial condition of these counterparties will enable them to fulfill their obligations under these agreements.
Competition may adversely affect our ability to purchase properties and to attract and retain tenants.
There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies, financial institutions and other investors with greater financial resources than we have that compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition and tenants who will lease space in our properties. Our competitors include other REITs, financial institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, private companies and individuals. This competition may result in a higher cost for properties than we wish to pay. In addition, retailers at our properties (both in our Core Portfolio and in the portfolios of the Opportunity Funds) face increasing competition from outlet malls, discount shopping clubs, internet commerce, direct mail and telemarketing, which could (i) reduce rents payable to us and (ii) reduce our ability to attract and retain tenants at our properties leading to increased vacancy rates at our properties.
We could be adversely affected by poor market conditions where our properties are geographically concentrated.
Our performance depends on the economic conditions in markets in which our properties are concentrated. We have significant exposure to the greater New York region, from which we derive 33% of the annual base rents within our Core Portfolio and 61% of annual base rents within our Opportunity Funds. Our operating results could be adversely affected if market conditions, such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate, in this area occurs.
We have pursued, and may in the future continue to pursue extensive growth opportunities, which may result in significant demands on our operational, administrative and financial resources.
We are pursuing extensive growth opportunities. This expansion places significant demands on our operational, administrative and financial resources. The continued growth of our real estate portfolio can be expected to continue to place a significant strain on our resources. Our future performance will depend in part on our ability to successfully attract and retain qualified management personnel to manage the growth and operations of our business. In addition, the acquired properties may fail to operate at expected levels due to the numerous factors that may affect the value of real estate. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to identify and manage the properties.

Our inability to carry out our growth strategy could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our earnings growth strategy is based on the acquisition and redevelopment of additional properties, including acquisitions of core properties through our Operating Partnership and our high return investment programs through Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC (“Fund IV“). The consummation of any future acquisitions will be subject to satisfactory completion of our extensive valuation analysis and due diligence review and to the negotiation of definitive documentation. We cannot be sure that we will be able to implement our strategy because we may have difficulty finding new properties, obtaining necessary entitlements, negotiating with new or existing tenants or securing acceptable financing.
Acquisitions of additional properties entail the risk that investments will fail to perform in accordance with expectations, including operating and leasing expectations. In the context of our business plan, “redevelopment” generally means an expansion or renovation of an existing property. Redevelopment is subject to numerous risks, including risks of construction delays, cost overruns or uncontrollable events that may increase project costs, new project commencement risks such as the receipt of zoning, occupancy and other required governmental approvals and permits, and incurring redevelopment costs in connection with projects that are not pursued to completion.
A component of our growth strategy is through private-equity type investments made through our RCP Venture. These include investments in operating retailers. The inability of the retailers to operate profitably would have an adverse impact on income realized from these investments. Through our investments in joint ventures we have also invested in operating businesses that have operational risk in addition to the risks associated with real estate investments, including among other risks, human capital issues, adequate supply of product and material, and merchandising issues.
We operate through a partnership structure, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our assets.
Our primary property-owning vehicle is the Operating Partnership, of which we are the general partner. Our acquisition of properties through the Operating Partnership in exchange for interests in the Operating Partnership may permit certain tax deferral advantages to limited partners who contribute properties to the Operating Partnership. Since properties contributed to the Operating Partnership may have unrealized gains attributable to the differences between the fair market value and adjusted tax basis in such properties prior to contribution, the sale of such properties could cause adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contributed such properties. Although we, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, generally have no obligation to consider the tax consequences of our actions to any limited partner, we own several properties subject to material restrictions designed to minimize the adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contributed such properties. Such restrictions may result in significantly reduced flexibility to manage some of our assets.
Exclusivity obligation to our Opportunity Funds.
Under the terms of Fund IV, our primary goal is to seek investments for Fund IV, subject to certain exceptions. We may only pursue opportunities to acquire retail properties directly through the Operating Partnership if (i) the ownership of the acquisition opportunity by Fund IV would create a material conflict of interest for us; (ii) we require the acquisition opportunity for a “like-kind” exchange; (iii) the consideration payable for the acquisition opportunity is our Common Shares, OP Units or other securities or (iv) the investment is outside the parameters of our investment goals for Fund IV (which, in general, seeks more opportunistic level returns). As a result, we may not be able to make attractive acquisitions directly and instead may only receive a minority interest in such acquisitions through Fund IV.
Risks of joint ventures.
Partnership or joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by us, including the possibility that our partner or co-venturer might become bankrupt, and that our partner or co-venturer may take action contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives, including our policy with respect to maintaining our qualification as a REIT. Other risks of joint venture investments include impasse on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor a joint venture partner would have full control over the joint venture. Also, there is no limitation under our organizational documents as to the amount of our funds that may be invested in joint ventures.
Additionally, our partners or co-venturers may engage in malfeasance in spite of our efforts to perform a high level of due diligence on them. Such acts may or may not be covered by insurance. Finally, partners and co-venturers may engage in illegal activities which may jeopardize an investment and/or subject us to reputational risk.
Any disputes that may arise between joint venture partners and us may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and/or directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently, actions by or disputes with joint venture partners might result in subjecting properties owned by the joint venture to additional risk. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our third-party joint venture partners.

12



During 2012, 2011 and 2010, our Fund I and Mervyns I joint ventures provided Promote income. There can be no assurance that the joint ventures will continue to operate profitably and thus provide additional Promote income in the future. These factors could limit the return that we receive from such investments or cause our cash flows to be lower than our estimates. In addition, a partner or co-venturer may not have access to sufficient capital to satisfy its funding obligations to the joint venture.
Market factors could have an adverse effect on our share price and our ability to access the public equity markets.
One of the factors that may influence the trading price of our Common Shares is the annual dividend rate on our Common Shares as a percentage of its market price. An increase in market interest rates may lead purchasers of our Common Shares to seek a higher annual dividend rate, which could adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares. A decline in our share price, as a result of this or other market factors, could unfavorably impact our ability to raise additional equity in the public markets.
The loss of a key executive officer could have an adverse effect on us.
Our success depends on the contribution of key management members. The loss of the services of Kenneth F. Bernstein, President and Chief Executive Officer, or other key executive-level employees could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We have obtained key-man life insurance for Mr. Bernstein. In addition, we have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Bernstein; however, it can be terminated by Mr. Bernstein in his discretion. We have not entered into employment agreements with other key executive-level employees.
Our Board of Trustees may change our investment policy without shareholder approval.
Our Board of Trustees may determine to change our investment and financing policies, our growth strategy and our debt, capitalization, distribution, acquisition, disposition and operating policies. Our Board of Trustees may establish investment criteria or limitations as it deems appropriate, but currently does not limit the number of properties in which we may seek to invest or on the concentration of investments in any one geographic region. Although our Board of Trustees has no present intention to revise or amend our strategies and policies, it may do so at any time without a vote by our shareholders. Accordingly, the results of decisions made by our Board of Trustees and implemented by management may or may not serve the interests of all of our shareholders and could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations, including our ability to distribute cash to shareholders or qualify as a REIT.
Distribution requirements imposed by law limit our operating flexibility.
To maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are generally required to distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our taxable income for each calendar year. Our taxable income is determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid and by excluding net capital gains. To the extent that we satisfy the distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed income. In addition, we will incur a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which our distributions in any year are less than the sum of (i) 85% of our ordinary income for that year; (ii) 95% of our capital gain net income for that year and; (iii) 100% of our undistributed taxable income from prior years. We intend to continue to make distributions to our shareholders to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and to minimize exposure to federal income and nondeductible excise taxes. Differences in timing between the receipt of income and the payment of expenses in determining our income as well as required debt amortization payments and the capitalization of certain expenses could require us to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the distribution requirements that are necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT. The distribution requirements also severely limit our ability to retain earnings to acquire and improve properties or retire outstanding debt.
There can be no assurance we have qualified or will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
We believe that we have consistently met the requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993, and we intend to continue to meet these requirements in the future. However, qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. No assurance can be given that we have qualified or will remain qualified as a REIT. The Internal Revenue Code provisions and income tax regulations applicable to REITs differ significantly from those applicable to other corporations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control can potentially affect our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. In addition, no assurance can be given that future legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the requirements for qualification as a REIT or adversely affect the federal income tax consequences of such qualification. Under current law, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to shareholders in computing our net taxable income. In addition, our income would be subject to tax at the regular corporate rates. We also could be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. Cash available for distribution to our shareholders would be significantly reduced for each year in which we do not qualify as a REIT. In that event, we would not be required to continue to make distributions. Although we currently intend to continue to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that future

13



economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause us, without the consent of our shareholders, to revoke the REIT election or to otherwise take action that would result in disqualification.
Limits on ownership of our capital shares.
For us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, among other requirements, not more than 50% of the value of our capital shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities) at any time during the last half of each taxable year after 1993, and such capital shares must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year (in each case, other than the first such year). Our Declaration of Trust includes certain restrictions regarding transfers of our capital shares and ownership limits that are intended to assist us in satisfying these limitations, among other purposes. These restrictions and limits may not be adequate in all cases, however, to prevent the transfer of our capital shares in violation of the ownership limitations. The ownership limit discussed above may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing someone from taking control of us.
Actual or constructive ownership of our capital shares in excess of the share ownership limits contained in our Declaration of Trust would cause the violative transfer or ownership to be null and void from the beginning and subject to purchase by us at a price equal to the fair market value of such shares (determined in accordance with the rules set forth in our Declaration of Trust). As a result, if a violative transfer were made, the recipient of the shares would not acquire any economic or voting rights attributable to the transferred shares. Additionally, the constructive ownership rules for these limits are complex and groups of related individuals or entities may be deemed a single owner and consequently in violation of the share ownership limits.
Concentration of ownership by certain investors.
As of December 31, 2012, seven institutional shareholders own 5% or more individually, and 62.1% in the aggregate, of our Common Shares. A significant concentration of ownership may allow an investor or a group of investors to exert a greater influence over our management and affairs and may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us.
Restrictions on a potential change of control.
Our Board of Trustees is authorized by our Declaration of Trust to establish and issue one or more series of preferred shares without shareholder approval. We have not established any series of preferred shares. However, the establishment and issuance of a series of preferred shares could make more difficult a change of control of us that could be in the best interests of the shareholders.
In addition, we have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer and severance agreements are in place with our executives which provide that, upon the occurrence of a change in control of us and either the termination of their employment without cause (as defined) or their resignation for good reason (as defined), those executive officers would be entitled to certain termination or severance payments made by us (which may include a lump sum payment equal to defined percentages of annual salary and prior years' average bonuses, paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective agreement), which could deter a change of control of us that could be in the best interests of the shareholders.
Certain provisions of Maryland law may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of our Company.
Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended, which we refer to as the “MGCL,” as applicable to REITs, certain “business combinations,” including certain mergers, consolidations, share exchanges and asset transfers and certain issuances and reclassifications of equity securities, between a Maryland REIT and any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the trust's outstanding voting shares or an affiliate or an associate, as defined in the MGCL, of the trust who, at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the trust, which we refer to as an “interested shareholder,” or an affiliate of the interested shareholder, are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder. After that five-year period, any such business combination must be recommended by the board of trustees of the trust and approved by the affirmative vote of at least (1) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding voting shares of beneficial interest of the trust and (2) two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting shares of the trust other than shares held by the interested shareholder with whom, or with whose affiliate, the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder, unless, among other conditions, the trust's common shareholders receive a minimum price, as defined in the MGCL, for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested shareholder for its common shares.
These provisions of the MGCL do not apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of trustees of the trust before the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, and a person is not an interested shareholder if the board of trustees approved in advance the transaction by which the person otherwise would have become an interested

14



shareholder. In approving a transaction, our Board of Trustees may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the Board.
The MGCL also provides that holders of “control shares” of a Maryland REIT (defined as voting shares that, when aggregated with all other shares owned by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer is entitled to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing trustees) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of “control shares”) have no voting rights except to the extent approved by the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares owned by the acquirer, by officers or by employees who are also trustees of the trust. Our Bylaws provide that the control share acquisition statute shall not apply to shares acquired or owned, directly or indirectly, by any person acting in concert with any group (as defined in Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder). Our Bylaws can be amended by our Board of Trustees by majority vote, and there can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.
Additionally, Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL permits our Board of Trustees, without shareholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our Declaration of Trust or Bylaws, to elect to be subject to certain provisions relating to corporate governance that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change of control of our Company that might involve a premium to the market price of our Common Shares or otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders. We are subject to some of these provisions (for example, a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a trustee) by provisions of our Declaration of Trust and Bylaws unrelated to Subtitle 8.
Becoming subject to, or the potential to become subject to, these provisions of the MGCL could inhibit, delay or prevent a transaction or a change of control of our Company that might involve a premium price for our shareholders or otherwise be in our or their best interests. In addition, the provisions of our Declaration of Trust on removal of trustees and the provisions of our Bylaws regarding advance notice of shareholder nominations of trustees and other business proposals and restricting shareholder action outside of a shareholders meeting unless such action is taken by unanimous written consent could have a similar effect.
Our rights and shareholders' rights to take action against trustees and officers are limited, which could limit recourse in the event of actions not in the best interests of shareholders.
As permitted by Maryland law, our Declaration of Trust eliminates the liability of our trustees and officers to the Company and its shareholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from:
actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; or
a final judgment based upon a finding of active and deliberate dishonesty by the trustee or officer that was material to the cause of action adjudicated.

In addition, our Declaration of Trust authorizes, and our Bylaws obligate, us to indemnify each present or former trustee or officer, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, who is made a party to any proceeding because of his or her service to our Company. As part of these indemnification obligations, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our trustees and officers.
Legislative or regulatory tax changes could have an adverse effect on us.
There are a number of issues associated with an investment in a REIT that are related to the federal income tax laws, including, but not limited to, the consequences of our failing to continue to qualify as a REIT. At any time, the federal income tax laws governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended or modified. Any new laws or interpretations may take effect retroactively and could adversely affect us or our shareholders. Reduced tax rates applicable to certain corporate dividends paid to most domestic noncorporate shareholders are not generally available to REIT shareholders since a REITs income generally is not subject to corporate level tax. As a result, investment in non-REIT corporations may be viewed as relatively more attractive than investment in REITs by domestic noncorporate investors. This could adversely affect the market price of our shares.
Our redevelopment and construction activities could affect our operating results.
We intend to continue the selective redevelopment and construction of retail properties, with our project at CityPoint currently being our largest redevelopment project (see “Item 1. BUSINESS - INVESTING ACTIVITIES - Opportunity Funds - Redevelopment Activities” for a description of the CityPoint project).
As opportunities arise, we expect to delay construction until sufficient pre-leasing is reached and financing is in place. Our redevelopment and construction activities include risks that:
We may abandon redevelopment opportunities after expending resources to determine feasibility;
Construction costs of a project may exceed our original estimates;

15



Occupancy rates and rents at a newly completed property may not be sufficient to make the property profitable;
Financing for redevelopment of a property may not be available to us on favorable terms;
We may not complete construction and lease-up on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs; and
We may not be able to obtain, or may experience delays in obtaining necessary zoning, land use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations.
Additionally, the time frame required for redevelopment, construction and lease-up of these properties means that we may not realize a significant cash return for several years. If any of the above events occur, the redevelopment of properties may hinder our growth and have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. In addition, new redevelopment activities, regardless of whether or not they are ultimately successful, typically require substantial time and attention from management.
Redevelopments and acquisitions may fail to perform as expected.
Our investment strategy includes the redevelopment and acquisition of shopping centers and other retail properties in supply constrained markets in densely populated areas with high average household incomes and significant barriers to entry. The redevelopment and acquisition of properties entails risks that include the following, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations:
The property may fail to achieve the returns we have projected, either temporarily or for extended periods;
We may not be able to identify suitable properties to acquire or may be unable to complete the acquisition of the properties we identify;
We may not be able to integrate an acquisition into our existing operations successfully;
Properties we redevelop or acquire may fail to achieve the occupancy or rental rates we project, within the time frames we project, at the time we make the decision to invest, which may result in the properties' failure to achieve the returns we projected;
Our pre-acquisition evaluation of the physical condition of each new investment may not detect certain defects or identify necessary repairs until after the property is acquired, which could significantly increase our total acquisition costs or decrease cash flow from the property; and
Our investigation of a property or building prior to our acquisition, and any representations we may receive from the seller of such building or property, may fail to reveal various liabilities, which could reduce the cash flow from the property or increase our acquisition cost.
Climate change and catastrophic risk from natural perils.
Some of our current properties could be subject to potential natural or other disasters. We may acquire properties that are located in areas which are subject to natural disasters. Any properties located in coastal regions would therefore be affected by any future increases in sea levels or in the frequency or severity of hurricanes and tropical storms, whether such increases are caused by global climate changes or other factors.
Climate change is a long-term change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in the average weather conditions or a change in the distribution of weather events with respect to an average, for example, greater or fewer extreme weather events. Climate change may be limited to a specific region, or may occur across the whole Earth.
There may be significant physical effects of climate change that have the potential to have a material effect on our business and operations. These effects can impact our personnel, physical assets, tenants and overall operations.
Physical impacts of climate change may include:
Increased storm intensity and severity of weather (e.g., floods or hurricanes);
Sea level rise; and
Extreme temperatures.
As a result of these physical impacts from climate-related events, we may be vulnerable to the following:
Risks of property damage to our shopping centers;
Indirect financial and operational impacts from disruptions to the operations of major tenants located in our shopping centers from severe weather, such as hurricanes or floods;
Increased insurance premiums and deductibles, or a decrease in the availability of coverage, for properties in areas subject to severe weather;
Increased insurance claims and liabilities;
Increases in energy costs impacting operational returns;

16



Changes in the availability or quality of water, or other natural resources on which the tenant's business depends;
Decreased consumer demand for consumer products or services resulting from physical changes associated with climate change (e.g., warmer temperatures or decreasing shoreline could reduce demand for residential and commercial properties previously viewed as desirable);
Incorrect long term valuation of an equity investment due to changing conditions not previously anticipated at the time of the investment; and
Economic disruptions arising from the above.
Possible liability relating to environmental matters.
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, as an owner of real property, we may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, on, in or under our property, as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances (including government fines and penalties and damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property). These laws may impose liability without regard to whether, we knew of or were responsible for, the presence or disposal of those substances. This liability may be imposed on us in connection with the activities of an operator of, or tenant at, the property. The cost of any required remediation, removal, fines or personal or property damages and our liability therefore could exceed the value of the property and/or our aggregate assets. In addition, the presence of those substances, or the failure to properly dispose of or remove those substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent that property or to borrow using that property as collateral, which, in turn, could reduce our revenues and affect our ability to make distributions.
A property can also be adversely affected either through physical contamination or by virtue of an adverse effect upon value attributable to the migration of hazardous or toxic substances, or other contaminants that have or may have emanated from other properties. Although our tenants are primarily responsible for any environmental damages and claims related to the leased premises, in the event of the bankruptcy or inability of any of our tenants to satisfy any obligations with respect to the property leased to that tenant, we may be required to satisfy such obligations. In addition, we may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims irrespective of the provisions of any lease.
From time to time, in connection with the conduct of our business, and prior to the acquisition of any property from a third party or as required by our financing sources, we authorize the preparation of Phase I environmental reports and, when necessary, Phase II environmental reports, with respect to our properties. Based upon these environmental reports and our ongoing review of our properties, we are currently not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of our properties that we believe would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. There can be no assurance, however, that the environmental reports will reveal all environmental conditions at our properties or that the following will not expose us to material liability in the future:
The discovery of previously unknown environmental conditions;
Changes in law;
Activities of tenants; and
Activities relating to properties in the vicinity of our properties.
Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise adversely affect the operations of our tenants, which could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
Uninsured losses or a loss in excess of insured limits could adversely affect our financial condition.
We carry comprehensive general liability, all-risk property, extended coverage, loss of rent insurance, and environmental liability on our properties, with policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. However, with respect to those properties where the leases do not provide for abatement of rent under any circumstances, we generally do not maintain loss of rent insurance. In addition, there are certain types of losses, such as losses resulting from wars, terrorism or acts of God that generally are not insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose capital invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from a property, while remaining obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related to the property. Any loss of these types would adversely affect our financial condition.
Future terrorist attacks or civil unrest could harm the demand for, and the value of, our properties.
Future terrorist attacks or civil unrest, such as the attacks that occurred in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, and other acts of terrorism or war, could harm the demand for, and the value of, our properties. Terrorist attacks could directly impact the value of our properties through damage, destruction, loss or increased security costs, and the availability of insurance for such acts may be limited or may be subject to substantial cost increases. To the extent that our tenants are impacted by future attacks, their ability to continue to honor obligations under their existing leases could be adversely affected.

A decrease in retail demand could make it difficult for us to renew or re-lease our properties at lease rates equal to or above historical rates. These acts might erode business and consumer confidence and spending, and might result in increased volatility in national and international financial markets and economies. Any one of these events might decrease demand for real estate, decrease or delay the occupancy of our properties, and limit our access to capital or increase our cost of raising capital.
Outages, computer viruses and similar events could disrupt our operations.
We rely on information technology networks and systems, some of which are owned and operated by third parties, to process, transmit and store electronic information. Any of these systems may be susceptible to outages due to fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks and similar events. Despite the implementation of network security measures, our systems and those of third parties on which we rely may also be vulnerable to computer viruses and similar disruptions. If we and the third parties on whom we rely are unable to prevent such outages and breaches, our operations could be disrupted.
Increased Information Technology ("IT") security threats and more sophisticated computer crime could pose a risk to our systems, networks and services.

Increased global IT security threats and more sophisticated and targeted computer crime pose a risk to the security of our systems and networks and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data. The open nature of interconnected technologies may allow for a network or Web outage or a privacy breach that reveals sensitive data or transmission of harmful/malicious code to business partners and clients resulting in liability claims. While we attempt to mitigate these risks by employing a number of measures, including a dedicated IT team, employee training and background checks, comprehensive monitoring of our networks and systems, and maintenance of backup systems and redundancy along with purchasing available insurance coverage, our systems, networks and services remain potentially vulnerable to advanced threats. Depending on their nature and scope, such threats could potentially lead to the compromising of confidential information, improper use of our systems and networks, manipulation and destruction of data, loss of trade secrets, system downtimes and operational disruptions, which in turn could adversely affect our reputation, competitiveness and results of operations.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
SHOPPING CENTER PROPERTIES
The discussion and tables in this Item 2. include properties held through our Core Portfolio and our Opportunity Funds. We define our Core Portfolio as those properties either 100% owned by, or partially owned through joint venture interests by, the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through our Opportunity Funds.
As of December 31, 2012 , there are 72 operating properties in our Core Portfolio totaling approximately 5.3 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). The Core Portfolio properties are located in 12 states and the District of Columbia and primarily consist of urban/street retail, dense suburban neighborhood and community shopping centers and mixed-use properties with a strong retail component. Our shopping centers are predominately anchored by supermarkets or value-oriented retail. The properties are diverse in size, ranging from approximately 3,000 to 875,000 square feet and as of December 31, 2012 , were, in total, 94% occupied.
As of December 31, 2012 , we owned and operated 20 properties totaling approximately 2.5 million square feet of GLA in our Opportunity Funds, excluding eight properties under redevelopment. In addition to shopping centers, the Opportunity Funds have invested in mixed-use properties, which generally include retail activities. The Opportunity Fund properties are located in eight states and the District of Columbia and as of December 31, 2012 , were, in total, 88% occupied.
Within our Core Portfolio and Opportunity Funds, we had approximately 650 leases as of December 31, 2012 . A majority of our rental revenues were from national retailers and consist of rents received under long-term leases. These leases generally provide for the monthly payment of fixed minimum rent and the tenants' pro-rata share of the real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and common area maintenance of the shopping centers. Certain of our leases also provide for the payment of rent based on a percentage of a tenant's gross sales in excess of a stipulated annual amount, either in addition to, or in place of, minimum rents. Minimum rents, percentage rents and expense reimbursements accounted for approximately 92% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 .


18



Three of our Core Portfolio properties and five of our Opportunity Fund properties are subject to long-term ground leases in which a third party owns and has leased the underlying land to us. We pay rent for the use of the land and are responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the building and improvements at all eight locations.
No individual property contributed in excess of 10% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012 , 2011 or 2010. Reference is made to Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for information on the mortgage debt pertaining to our properties. The following sets forth more specific information with respect to each of our shopping centers at December 31, 2012 :

Notes:
 
(1)
Base rents do not include percentage rents, additional rents for property expense reimbursements, nor contractual rent escalations.
(2)
The 106 leases scheduled to expire during 2013 are for tenants at 32 properties located in 25 markets. No single market represents a material amount of exposure to the Company as it relates to the rents from these leases. Given the diversity of these markets, properties and characteristics of the individual spaces, the Company cannot make any general representations as it relates to the expiring rents and the rates for which these spaces may be re-leased.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While we are unable to predict with any certainty the amounts involved, management is of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, our resulting exposure to loss contingencies, if any, will not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
In addition to the foregoing, we recently settled or are currently involved in the following litigation matters:
In September 2008, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, and other unrelated entities (the “Investor Consortium”) were named as defendants in an adversary proceeding brought by Mervyn's LLC (“Mervyns”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The action involved five claims alleging fraudulent transfers in which Mervyns was nominally seeking approximately $1.175 billion in damages from the Investor Consortium, although the actual claims made by the administrator and the unsecured creditors were substantially less. The first claim contended that, at the time of the sale of Mervyns by Target Corporation ("Target") to the Investor Consortium, a transfer of assets was made in an effort to defraud creditors. The Company believed that this aspect of the case is without merit. The remaining four claims related to transfers of assets of Mervyns at various times after the sale by Target. The Company believed that there were substantial defenses to these claims.

During the third quarter of 2012, the parties to this litigation arrived at an agreement to settle the claim. The settlement was approved by the bankruptcy court and provided for a payment of $166.0 million. Based on the defendants' agreement, the net cost of the settlement to the Investor Consortium amounted to approximately $149.0 million. After applying cash on hand at the investee level, Mervyns I and Mervyns II's combined contribution to this settlement was approximately $1.0 million. In addition, the Company reduced its carrying value of these investments from $6.3 million to its fair value of $5.3 million in relation to the estimated value of the remaining assets. In total, this resulted in a charge of $2.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2012, of which the Operating Partnership's share, net of income taxes, was $0.2 million.

During August 2009, we terminated the employment of a former Senior Vice President (the “Former Employee”) for engaging in conduct that fell within the definition of “cause” in his severance agreement with us. Had the Former Employee not been terminated for “cause,” he would have been eligible to receive approximately $0.9 million under the severance agreement. Because we terminated him for “cause,” we did not pay the Former Employee any severance benefits under his agreement. The Former Employee has brought a lawsuit against us in New York State Supreme Court, alleging breach of the severance agreement. The suit is in the pre-trial discovery stage. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the suit.

At February 27, 2013, there were 316 holders of record of our Common Shares.
We have determined for income tax purposes that 63% of the total dividends distributed to shareholders during 2012 represented ordinary income and 37% represented capital gains. The dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was paid on January 15, 2013 and is taxable in 2012. Our cash flow is affected by a number of factors, including the revenues received from rental properties, our operating expenses, the interest expense on our borrowings, the ability of lessees to meet their obligations to us and unanticipated capital expenditures. Future dividends paid by us will be at the discretion of the Trustees and will depend on our actual cash flows, our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Trustees deem relevant. In addition, we have the ability to pay dividends in cash, Common Shares or a combination thereof, subject to a minimum of 10% in cash.
(b) Issuer purchases of equity securities
We have an existing share repurchase program that authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our outstanding Common Shares. The program may be discontinued or extended at any time and there is no assurance that we will purchase the full amount authorized. There were no Common Shares repurchased by us during the year ended December 31, 2012 . Under this program we have repurchased 2.1 million Common Shares, none of which were repurchased after December 2001. As of December 31, 2012, management may repurchase up to approximately $7.5 million of our outstanding Common Shares under this program.
(c) Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
During 2012, the Company terminated the 1999 and 2003 Share Incentive Plans (the "1999 and 2003 Plans") and adopted the Amended and Restated 2006 Share Incentive Plan (the "Amended 2006 Plan"). The Amended 2006 Plan amended and restated our 2006 Share Incentive Plan and increased the authorization to issue options, Restricted Shares and LTIP Units (collectively "Awards") available to officers and employees by 1.9 million shares. Reference is made to Note 15 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a summary of our Share Incentive Plans. The following table provides information related to the Amended 2006 Plan as of December 31, 2012 :

(d) Share Price Performance Graph (1)
The following graph compares the cumulative total shareholder return for our Common Shares for the period commencing December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2012 with the cumulative total return on the Russell 2000 Index (“Russell 2000”), the NAREIT All Equity REIT Index (the “NAREIT”) and the SNL Shopping Center REITs (the “SNL”) over the same period. Total return values for the Russell 2000, the NAREIT, the SNL and the Common Shares were calculated based upon cumulative total return assuming the investment of $100.00 in each of the Russell 2000, the NAREIT, the SNL and our Common Shares on December 31, 2007, and assuming reinvestment of dividends. The shareholder return as set forth in the table below is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

The Company considers funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and net property operating income (“NOI”) to be appropriate supplemental disclosures of operating performance for an equity REIT due to their widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO and NOI are presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. They are helpful as they exclude various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of depreciable real estate. In addition, NOI excludes interest expense. The Company's method of calculating FFO and NOI may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company's performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. During 2012, NAREIT issued a clarification to the definition of FFO whereby impairment charges for depreciable real estate are to be excluded in the calculation of FFO. Accordingly, 2011 FFO has been restated to exclude an impairment charge of $2.6 million.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
As of December 31, 2012 , we operated 100 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, within our Core Portfolio or within our Opportunity Funds. Our Core Portfolio consists of those properties either 100% owned by, or partially owned through joint venture interests by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through our Opportunity Funds. These 100 properties primarily consist of urban/street retail, dense suburban neighborhood and community shopping centers and mixed-use properties with a strong retail component. The properties we operate are located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States along the East Coast and in Chicago. There are 72 properties in our Core Portfolio totaling approximately 5.3 million square feet. Fund I has three remaining properties comprising approximately 0.1 million square feet. Fund II has six properties, four of which (representing 0.6 million square feet) are currently operating, one is under construction, and one is in the design phase. Fund III has 14 properties, nine of which (representing 1.7 million square feet) are currently operating and five of which are in the design phase. Fund IV has five properties, four of which are operating with one under design. The majority of our operating income is derived from rental revenues from these 100 properties, including recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses. As our RCP Venture invests in operating companies, we consider these investments to be private-equity style, as opposed to real estate, investments. Since these are not traditional investments in operating rental real estate but investments in operating businesses, the Operating Partnership invests in these through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”).

33



Our primary business objective is to acquire and manage commercial retail properties that will provide cash for distributions to shareholders while also creating the potential for capital appreciation to enhance investor returns. We focus on the following fundamentals to achieve this objective:
Own and operate a Core Portfolio of high-quality retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas and create value through accretive redevelopment and re-anchoring activities coupled with the acquisition of high-quality assets that have the long-term potential to outperform the asset class as part of our Core asset recycling and acquisition initiative.

Generate additional external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program through our Opportunity Funds. We target transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through:

value-add investments in high-quality urban and/or street retail properties with re-tenanting or repositioning opportunities,
opportunistic acquisitions of well-located real-estate anchored by distressed retailers or by motivated sellers and
opportunistic purchases of debt which may include restructuring.

These may also include joint ventures with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets.

Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth.

Rental income in the Core Portfolio increased $11.3 million as a result of additional rents of (i) $6.9 million related to 2012 Core Portfolio property acquisitions as detailed in Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ("2012 Core Acquisitions"), (ii) $2.5 million related to 2011 Core Portfolio property acquisitions ("2011 Core Acquisitions") and (iii) $1.3 million as a result of re-anchoring and leasing activities at Bloomfield Town Square and 2914 Third Avenue ("Core Redevelopment Properties"). Rental income in the Opportunity Funds increased $8.3 million as a result of additional rents of (i) $3.0 million related to 2012 Opportunity Fund property acquisitions as detailed in Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ("2012 Fund Acquisitions"), (ii) $2.2 million related to 2011 Opportunity Fund property acquisitions ("2011 Fund Acquisitions") and (iii) $2.8 million from leases that commenced during 2011 and 2012 at Fordham Place and 161st Street ("Fund Redevelopment Properties").

34



Interest income in Notes Receivable and Other decreased as a result of the full repayment of two notes during 2011. This was partially offset by five new notes originated during 2012.
The increase in expense reimbursements in the Core Portfolio was the result of the 2012 and 2011 Core Acquisitions, Core Redevelopment Properties and an increase in common area maintenance ("CAM") expenses during 2012. Expense reimbursements in the Opportunity Funds increased for both real estate taxes and CAM as a result of the 2012 and 2011 Fund Acquisitions and the Fund Redevelopment Properties.

The increase in property operating expenses for the Core Portfolio was a result of the 2012 and 2011 Core Acquisitions and an $1.2 million increase in credit loss during 2012. Property operating in the Opportunity Funds increased as a result of the 2012 and 2011 Fund Acquisitions and an increase in credit loss during 2012.
Other operating expenses, which represent acquisition costs, increased for the Core Portfolio and the Opportunity Funds as a result of the 2012 Core Acquisitions and the 2012 Fund Acquisitions, respectively.
Real estate tax expense in the Core Portfolio increased as a result of the 2012 and 2011 Core Acquisitions. Real estate taxes in the Opportunity Funds increased as a result of the 2012 and 2011 Fund Acquisitions and the Fund Redevelopment Properties.
The decrease in general and administrative expense in the Core Portfolio was due to an increase in capitalized salaries related to leasing and redevelopment activities in 2012. The changes in general and administrative expense in the Opportunity Funds and Other, are offsetting, and relate to Promote expense within Fund I, which is eliminated for consolidated financial statement presentation purposes.
Core Portfolio depreciation and amortization increased $4.1 million as a result of the 2012 and 2011 Core Acquisitions. Depreciation and amortization expense in the Opportunity Funds increased $3.2 million due to the 2012 and 2011 Fund Acquisitions and the Fund Redevelopment Properties.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the Opportunity Funds increased as a result of our share of the $3.4 million gain on the sale of an unconsolidated Opportunity Fund investment and a decrease in acquisition costs during 2012. This was partially offset by 2012 expenses of $2.0 million following the settlement of certain legal proceedings related to our Mervyns investment (reference is made to Legal Proceedings in Part 1, Item 3 in this Form 10-K) and a decrease of $2.6 million in distributions in excess of basis from our Albertson's investment in 2012.

Gain on involuntary conversion of asset of $2.4 million relates to insurance proceeds received in excess of net basis for flood damage at Mark Plaza.
Gain on debt extinguishment of $1.3 million in the Core Portfolio was the result of the purchase of mortgage debt at a discount in 2011.

Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to property sales during 2012 and 2011.

(Loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interests - Continuing operations and Discontinued operations represents the noncontrolling interests' share of all the Opportunity Funds variances discussed above.

The increase in rental income in the Core Portfolio was attributable to additional rents following the 2011 Core Acquisitions. Rental income in the Opportunity Funds increased from additional rents at Pelham Manor and 161st Street of $1.7 million for leases that commenced during 2010 and 2011 ("2010/2011 Fund Redevelopment Properties") as well as additional rents of $2.1 million following the 2011 Fund Acquisitions.
Interest income decreased as a result of the full repayment of two notes during 2010 and 2011.
Expense reimbursements in the Opportunity Funds increased for both real estate taxes and common area maintenance as a result of the 2010/2011 Fund Redevelopment Properties and the 2011 Fund Acquisitions.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the Opportunity Funds decreased as a result of a decrease in distributions in excess of basis from our Albertson’s investment of $6.3 million in 2011 and a decrease in our pro-rata share of income from our Mervyns investment in 2011.
Gain on debt extinguishment of $1.3 million was the result of the purchase of mortgage debt at a discount in 2011.
The $33.8 million gain from bargain purchase was attributable to Fund II’s purchase of an unaffiliated membership interest in CityPoint in 2010.
Interest expense in the Core Portfolio decreased $2.0 million in 2011. This was the result of a decrease in average outstanding borrowings during 2011 resulting in a decrease of $1.5 million as well as a decrease in loan amortization expense of $0.4 million related to refinanced debt in 2011. Interest expense in the Opportunity Funds decreased $4.1 million in 2011. This was attributable to higher capitalized interest in 2011 and a decrease in loan amortization expense related to refinanced debt in 2010. These were offset by an increase of $1.1 million related to higher average outstanding borrowings and an increase of $1.1 million related to higher average interest rates in 2011.
The variance in the income tax provision in the Core Portfolio related to income taxes at the TRS level for our pro-rata share of income from our Albertson’s investment in 2010 and an overaccrual of the 2010 tax liability at the TRS levels.
Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to property sales during 2011.
(Loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interests – Continuing operations and Discontinued operations represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of all the Opportunity Funds variances discussed above.
CORE PORTFOLIO

The following discussion of net property operating income ("NOI") and rent spreads on new and renewal leases includes the activity from both our consolidated and our pro-rata share of unconsolidated properties within our Core Portfolio. Our Opportunity Funds invest primarily in properties that typically require significant leasing and redevelopment. Given that the Opportunity Funds are finite-life investment vehicles, these properties are sold following stabilization. For these reasons, we believe NOI and rent spreads are not meaningful measures for our Opportunity Fund investments.


37



NOI represents property revenues less property expenses. We consider NOI and rent spreads on new and renewal leases for our Core Portfolio to be appropriate supplemental disclosures of portfolio operating performance due to their widespread acceptance and use within the REIT investor and analyst communities. NOI and rent spreads on new and renewal leases are presented to assist investors in analyzing our property performance, however, our method of calculating these may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

We consider funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and net property operating income ("NOI") to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO and NOI are presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. They are helpful as they exclude various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of depreciable real estate. In addition, NOI excludes interest expense. Our method of calculating FFO and NOI may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, we define FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. During 2012 NAREIT issued a clarification to the definition of FFO whereby impairment charges for depreciable real estate are to be excluded in the calculation of FFO. Accordingly, 2011 FFO has been restated to exclude an impairment charge of $2.6 million.
 
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Uses of Liquidity
Our principal uses of liquidity are (i) distributions to our shareholders and OP unit holders, (ii) investments which include the funding of our capital committed to the Opportunity Funds and property acquisitions and redevelopment/re-tenanting activities within our Core Portfolio, and (iii) debt service and loan repayments, including the repurchase of our Convertible Notes.
Distributions
In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we must currently distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 2012 , we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares and Common OP Units totaling $33.2 million.
Investments
Fund I and Mervyns I
Fund I and Mervyns I have returned all invested capital and accumulated preferred return thus triggering our Promote in all future Fund I and Mervyns I earnings and distributions. As of December 31, 2012 , $86.6 million has been invested in Fund I and Mervyns I, of which the Operating Partnership contributed $19.2 million.
As of December 31, 2012 , Fund I currently owned, or had ownership interests in three remaining assets comprising approximately 0.1 million square feet.
In addition, we, along with our Fund I investors have invested in Mervyns as discussed in Item 1. of this Form 10-K.
Fund II and Mervyns II
To date, Fund II’s primary investment focus has been in investments involving significant redevelopment activities and the RCP Venture. As of December 31, 2012 , $300.0 million has been invested in Fund II and Mervyns II, of which the Operating Partnership contributed $60.0 million.
During September of 2004, through Fund II, we launched our New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative. Fund II, together with an unaffiliated partner, formed Acadia Urban Development LLC ("Acadia Urban Development") for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, redeveloping, owning, operating, leasing and managing certain retail or mixed-use real estate properties in the New York City metropolitan area. The unaffiliated partner agreed to invest 10% of required capital up to a maximum of $2.2 million and Fund II, the managing member, agreed to invest the balance to acquire assets in which Acadia Urban Development agreed to invest. Of the nine properties acquired by Acadia Urban Development, two have been sold, and one is currently under contact for sale. Of the remaining six assets, four are currently at, or near, stabilization, one is currently under construction and one is in the design phase. Redevelopment costs incurred during 2012 by Acadia Urban Development in connection with the New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative totaled $52.2 million. Anticipated additional costs for the property currently under construction are currently estimated to range between $107.1 and $197.1 million.

RCP Venture
Reference is made to Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a table summarizing the RCP Venture investments from inception through December 31, 2012 .
Fund III
During 2007, we formed Fund III with 14 institutional investors, including all of the investors from Fund I and a majority of the investors from Fund II with $502.5 million of committed discretionary capital. During 2012, the committed capital amount was reduced to $475.0 million. As of December 31, 2012 , $341.0 million has been invested in Fund III, of which the Operating Partnership contributed $67.9 million. The remaining $134.0 million of unfunded capital will be used to fund current redevelopment projects.
Fund III has invested in five redevelopment projects as previously discussed in “—INVESTING ACTIVITIES” in Item 1. of this Form 10-K. Remaining anticipated costs for the projects currently owned by Fund III that can be estimated aggregate between $78.7 million and $99.2.
Other Fund III Investments
In addition to its five redevelopment projects noted above, Fund III also owns, or has ownership interests in, the following 10 assets comprising approximately 1.7 million square feet as follows:

Fund IV
During 2012, we formed Fund IV with 17 principally institutional investors as well as some high-net worth individuals. Reference is made to Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a detailed discussion of Fund IV.
To date, Fund IV has acquired three properties. Reference is made to Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a detailed discussion of these acquisitions.
Fund IV has invested in one redevelopment projects as previously discussed in “—INVESTING ACTIVITIES” in Item 1. of this Form 10-K. Remaining costs for this project are currently estimated to aggregate between $4.0 million and $4.5 million.
Notes Receivable
As of December 31, 2012 , our notes receivable, net aggregated $129.3 million, with accrued interest thereon of $2.7 million. The notes were collateralized by the underlying properties, the borrower’s ownership interest in the entities that own the properties, and/or by the borrower’s personal guarantee. Effective interest rates on our notes receivable ranged from 6.0% to 24.0% with maturities from June 2013 through November 2020.
Investments made in notes receivable during 2012 are discussed in Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Investments
Acquisitions made during 2012 are discussed in Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Core Portfolio Property Redevelopment and Re-anchoring
Our Core Portfolio redevelopment and re-anchoring programs focus on selecting well-located urban/street retail locations and dense suburban shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment. During 2011, we initiated the re-anchoring of three properties, the Bloomfield Town Square, located in Bloomfield Hills, MI and two former A&P supermarket locations located in the New York City metropolitan area. During 2012, we completed the Bloomfield Hills re-anchoring as well as the re-anchoring of the majority of space at one of the two former A&P supermarket locations. Costs associated with these redevelopments aggregated $10.6 million. Re-anchoring costs for the remainder of the space are estimated to range between $4.0 million and $6.0 million.
Purchase of Convertible Notes
Purchases of the Convertible Notes have been another use of our liquidity, although as of December 31, 2012 all but $0.9 million of the Convertible Notes have been retired. During 2011, we purchased $48.8 million in face amount of our outstanding Convertible Notes for $49.0 million.
Share Repurchase
We have an existing share repurchase program as further described in Item 5. of this Form 10-K. Management has not repurchased any shares under this program since December 2001, although it has the authority to repurchase up to approximately $7.5 million of our outstanding Common Shares.
SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY
We intend on using Fund IV, as well as new opportunity funds that we may establish in the future, as the primary vehicles for our future acquisitions. Fund IV has $365.9 million of unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests as of December 31, 2012. Additional sources of capital for funding property acquisitions, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting are expected to be obtained primarily from (i) cash on hand of $91.8 million as of December 31, 2012 and cash flow from operating activities, (ii) the issuance of public equity or debt instruments, (iii) unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests of $107.3 million for Fund III, (iv) additional debt financings, and (v) future sales of existing properties.
During 2012, noncontrolling interest capital contributions to Fund II, III and IV of $14.2 million, $91.5 million and $49.7 million, respectively, were primarily used to fund acquisitions and to pay down existing credit facilities.
Shelf Registration Statements and Issuance of Equity
During April 2012, we filed a new shelf registration on Form S-3 providing for offerings of up to a total of $500.0 million of Common Shares, Preferred Shares and debt securities. We currently have remaining capacity under this registration statement to issue up to approximately $231 million of these securities.
During January 2012, we established an ATM equity program with an aggregate offering of up to $75.0 million in Common Shares. During 2012, we sold approximately 3.3 million Common Shares under this program for gross proceeds of $75.0 million and net proceeds of $73.7 million.
During August 2012, we established a new ATM equity program with an aggregate offering of up to $125.0 million in Common Shares. Through December 31, 2012, we sold approximately 2.8 million Common Shares under this program for gross proceeds of approximately $68.8 million and net proceeds of approximately $67.8 million. As of December 31, 2012, there is $56.2 million remaining under this program.
During October 2012, we issued approximately 3.5 million Common Shares, which generated gross proceeds of approximately $86.9 million and net proceeds of approximately $85.8 million.
We have historically used and in the future intend to use the net proceeds of these equity issuances for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, repayment of our debt, future acquisitions, directly and through our Opportunity Funds, and redevelopments of and capital improvements to our properties.

Asset Sales
Asset sales are an additional source of liquidity for us. Dispositions made during 2012 are discussed further in Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Notes Receivable Repayments
Reference is made to Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for an overview of our notes receivable and for payments received during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
Financing and Debt
As of December 31, 2012 , our outstanding mortgage and convertible notes payable aggregated $728.1 million, and were collateralized by 35 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness ranged from 1.00% to 7.25% with maturities that ranged from April 2013 to September 2022. Taking into consideration $132.9 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $435.2 million of the portfolio, or 60%, was fixed at a 4.97% weighted average interest rate and $292.9 million, or 40% was floating at a 3.95% weighted average interest rate as of December 31, 2012. There is $109.0 million of debt maturing in 2013 at a weighted average interest rate of 4.37%. Of this amount, $6.9 million represents scheduled annual amortization. The loans relating to $20.7 million of the 2013 maturities provide for extension options, which we believe we will be able to exercise. As it relates to the remaining 2013 maturities, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness and, as such, we may have to refinance this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time.
As of December 31, 2012 , we had $120.4 million of additional capacity under existing revolving debt facilities. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, the Company closed on a new $150.0 million unsecured line of credit. This facility replaced the existing $64.5 million line of credit to the Operating Partnership that matured.
During November 2012, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") approved the CityPoint project's application for $200.0 million of construction financing under the U.S.'s Immigrant Investor Program, commonly known as "EB-5". Currently all funds are in escrow and will be released upon the approval of the USCIS.

A discussion of the significant changes in cash flow for 2012 versus 2011 is as follows:
The decrease of $6.6 million in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to the following:

Items which contributed to a decrease in cash from operating activities:
Insurance proceeds received in 2011 related to the flood damage at the Mark Plaza shopping center and the redeployment of these proceeds in the restoration of the property during 2012
A decrease in distributions of $2.6 million related to our RCP investment in Albertson's during 2012

Items which contributed to an increase in cash from operating activities:
Additional rents from Core Portfolio and Opportunity Fund acquisitions

The decrease of $16.5 million in net cash used in investing activities primarily resulted from the following:

Items which contributed to a decrease in cash used in investing activities:
An increase of $356.4 million in proceeds from the sale of the Self-Storage Portfolio and Canarsie Plaza during 2012
An increase of $18.0 million in return of capital from unconsolidated affiliates related to the sale of the White Oak Shopping Center and the refinancing of our investment in Georgetown, D.C.

Items which contributed to an increase in cash used in investing activities:
An increase of $125.5 million used for the acquisition of real estate in 2012
An increase of $20.0 million in expenditures for redevelopment and tenant installations during 2012
An increase of $105.9 million in investments and advances to unconsolidated affiliates during 2012 related to the acquisitions of Fund IV's Lincoln Road and 1701 Belmont Avenue
An increase of $74.3 million in advances of notes receivable during 2012
A decrease of $31.1 million from the collection of notes receivable during 2012

The $22.9 million increase in net cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from the following:

Items which contributed to an increase in cash from financing activities:
An increase of $288.9 million in mortgage debt proceeds during 2012
An increase of $178.8 million in cash from the issuance of Common Shares, net of costs during 2012
An additional $54.3 million in contributions from noncontrolling interests during 2012
An additional $49.0 million in principal payments on convertible notes during 2011

Items which contributed to a decrease in cash from financing activities:
An increase of $387.7 million in principal payments on mortgage notes during 2012
An increase of $153.2 million in distributions to noncontrolling interests during 2012

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used by us in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.

45



Valuation of Property Held for Use and Sale
On a quarterly basis, we review the carrying value of both properties held for use and for sale. We perform an impairment analysis by calculating and reviewing net operating income on a property-by-property basis. We evaluate leasing projections and perform other analyses to conclude whether an asset is impaired. We record impairment losses and reduce the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where we do not expect to recover our carrying costs on properties held for use, we reduce our carrying cost to fair value. For properties held for sale, we reduce our carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we determined that the value of the Granville Centre owned by Fund I was impaired. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment loss of $6.9 million. Granville Centre was subsequently sold during 2011. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2010, no impairment losses on our properties were recognized. Management does not believe that the value of any properties in its portfolio was impaired as of December 31, 2012 .
Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We periodically review our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures for other than temporary declines in market value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered in the next twelve months is considered other than temporary and an impairment charge is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a reduction in the carrying amount of our investments in Mervyn's of $2.0 million related to the estimated value of the remaining assets. No impairment charges related to our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Bad Debts
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make payments on arrearages in billed rents, as well as the likelihood that tenants will not have the ability to make payments on unbilled rents including estimated expense recoveries. We also maintain a reserve for straight-line rent receivables. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $6.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively. If the financial condition of our tenants were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Real Estate
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for acquisition, redevelopment, construction and improvement of properties, as well as significant renovations are capitalized. Interest costs are capitalized until construction is substantially complete. Construction in progress includes costs for significant property expansion and redevelopment. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 30 to 40 years for buildings, the shorter of the useful life or lease term for tenant improvements and five years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Upon acquisitions of real estate, we assess the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as above and below market leases and acquired in-place leases and customer relationships) and acquired liabilities in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 “Business Combinations” and ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” and allocate purchase price based on these assessments. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property.
Involuntary Conversion of Asset
We experienced significant flooding resulting in extensive damage to one of our properties during September 2011. Costs related to the clean-up and redevelopment were insured to a limit sufficient that we believed would allow for full restoration of the property. Loss of rents during the redevelopment were covered by business interruption insurance subject to a $0.1 million deductible. We planned to restore the improvements that were damaged by the flooding and expected that the costs of such restoration and rebuilding would be recoverable from insurance proceeds. In accordance with ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and as a result of the above-described property damage, we have recorded a write-down of the asset's carrying value in the accompanying 2011 consolidated balance sheet of approximately $1.4 million. In addition, we recorded an insurance recovery in the same amount that is included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. We also provided a $0.1 million provision in the 2011 consolidated statement of income for its exposure to the insurance deductible attributable to the loss of rents. During the year ended, December 31 2011, we received initial insurance proceeds of approximately $6.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we received additional insurance proceeds

46



of approximately $3.7 million. In connection with these proceeds, we recognized a gain on involuntary conversion of asset of $2.4 million.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases, beginning when the tenant takes possession of the space. Certain of these leases also provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the tenant. Percentage rent is recognized in the period when the tenants’ sales breakpoint is met. In addition, leases typically provide for the reimbursement to us of real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses. These reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred.
We make estimates of the uncollectability of our accounts receivable related to tenant revenues. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided against certain tenant accounts receivable that are estimated to be uncollectible. See “Bad Debts” above. Once the amount is ultimately deemed to be uncollectible, it is written off.
Notes Receivable
Real estate notes receivable investments are intended to be held to maturity and are carried at cost. Interest income from notes receivable and preferred equity investments are recognized on the effective interest method over the expected life of the loan. Under the effective interest method, interest or fees to be collected at the origination of the loan or the payoff of the loan is recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield.
Allowances for real estate notes receivable are established based upon management’s quarterly review of the investments. In performing this review, management considers the estimated net recoverable value of the loan as well as other factors, including the fair value of any collateral, the amount and status of any senior debt, and the prospects for the borrower. Because this determination is based upon projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amounts ultimately realized from the loans may differ materially from the carrying value at the balance sheet date. Interest income recognition is generally suspended for loans when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. Income recognition is resumed when the suspended loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.
During 2012, we provided for a $0.4 million net reserve on notes receivable as a result of a decrease in the value of the underlying collateral properties.
INFLATION
Our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on our net income. Such provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents based on tenants’ gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or, in certain cases, escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indexes. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek to increase rents upon re-rental at market rates if current rents are below the then existing market rates. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Information as of December 31, 2012
Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to our mortgage debt. See Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for certain quantitative details related to our mortgage debt.
Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap agreements. As of December 31, 2012 , we had total mortgage and convertible notes payable of $728.1 million, net of unamortized discount of $0.1 million, of which $435.2 million, or 60% was fixed-rate, inclusive of debt with rates fixed through the use of derivative financial instruments, and $292.9 million, or 40%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR rates plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2012 , we were a party to seven interest rate swap transactions and four interest rate caps transaction to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $132.9 million and $141.2 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.

$109.0 million of our total consolidated debt and $1.0 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated outstanding debt will become due in 2013. $56.2 million of our total consolidated debt and $32.6 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated debt will become due in 2014. As we intend on refinancing some or all of such debt at the then-existing market interest rates, which may be greater than the current interest rate, our interest expense would increase by approximately $2.0 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $0.6 million. Interest expense on our variable-rate debt of $292.9 million, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of December 31, 2012 would increase $2.9 million if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $0.6 million. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.
Based on our outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2012 , the fair value of our total consolidated outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $10.0 million if interest rates increase by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $8.0 million.
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had notes receivable of $129.3 million and $60.0 million, respectively. We determined the estimated fair value of our notes receivable equated the carrying values by discounting future cash receipts utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar notes receivable would be originated under conditions then existing.
Based on our outstanding notes receivable balances as of December 31, 2012, the fair value of our total outstanding notes receivable would decrease by approximately $1.8 million if interest rates increase by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding notes receivable would increase by approximately $1.9 million.
Summarized Information as of December 31, 2011
As of December 31, 2011, we had total mortgage and convertible notes payable of $648.6 million of which $288.7 million, or 45% was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $359.9 million, or 55%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2011, we were a party to five interest rate swap transactions and one interest rate cap transaction to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $57.0 million and $28.9 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt,

48



respectively. We were also a party to one forward interest rate swap transaction with respect to $12.5 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt.
Interest expense on our variable debt of $359.9 million as of December 31, 2011 would have increased $3.6 million if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. Based on our outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2011, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have decreased by approximately $10.3 million if interest rates increased by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decreased by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have increased by approximately $11.9 million.
Changes in Market Risk Exposures from 2012 to 2011
Our interest rate risk exposure from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012 has decreased on both a dollar amount and as a percentage of our overall debt, as we had $359.9 million in variable-rate debt (or 55% of our total debt) at December 31, 2011, as compared to $292.9 million (or 40% of our total debt) in variable-rate debt at December 31, 2012.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(i) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(ii) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
(a) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of Acadia Realty Trust is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13(a)-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13(a)-15(c). In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control–Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). Based on our evaluation under the COSO criteria, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
BDO USA, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm that audited our Financial Statements included in this Annual Report, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 , which appears in paragraph (b) of this Item 9A.

(b) Attestation report of the independent registered public accounting firm
The Shareholders and Trustees of
Acadia Realty Trust
We have audited Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 , based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on a company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries maintained in all material respects effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 , based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012 and our report dated February 27, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Shareholders and Trustees of
Acadia Realty Trust
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. In connection with our audits of the financial statements we have also audited the accompanying financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedule. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a fully-integrated equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment, and management of high-quality retail properties and urban/infill mixed-use properties with a strong retail component located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply constrained, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States along the East Coast and in Chicago.
All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of December 31, 2012 , the Trust controlled approximately 99% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common OP Units” or “Preferred OP Units”) and employees who have been awarded restricted Common OP Units (“LTIP Units”) as long-term incentive compensation (Note 15). Limited partners holding Common OP and LTIP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Trust (“Common Shares”). This structure is referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT.”
As of December 31, 2012 , the Company has ownership interests in 72 properties within its core portfolio, which consist of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through its opportunity funds ("Core Portfolio"). The Company also has ownership interests in 28 properties within its opportunity funds, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund I, LP ("Fund I"), Acadia Strategic Opportunity II, LLC ("Fund II"), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC ("Fund III") and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC (("Fund IV") and together with Funds I, II, and III, the "Opportunity Funds"). The 100 Core Portfolio and Opportunity Fund properties primarily consist of urban/street retail, dense suburban neighborhood and community shopping centers and mixed-use properties with a strong retail component. In addition, the Company, together with the investors in the Opportunity Funds, invest in operating companies through Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC ("Mervyns I"), Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC ("Mervyns II") and Fund II, all on a non-recourse basis.
The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner or managing member of the Opportunity Funds and Mervyns I and II and earns fees or priority distributions for asset management, property management, construction, redevelopment, leasing, and legal services. Cash flows from the Opportunity Funds and Mervyns I and II are distributed pro-rata to their respective partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until each receives a certain cumulative return ("Preferred Return"), and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 20% to the Operating Partnership ("Promote") and 80% to the partners or members (including the Operating Partnership).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its controlling investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company has control in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 “Consolidation” (“ASC Topic 810”). The ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or losses) of these entities are included in consolidated net income.
Variable interest entities are accounted for within the scope of ASC Topic 810 and are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the enterprise that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the variable interest entity that could be significant to the variable interest entity. Management has evaluated the applicability of ASC Topic 810 to its investments in certain joint ventures and determined that these joint ventures are not variable interest entities or that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidation of these ventures is not required. These investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company primarily accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method as it does not exercise control over significant asset decisions such as buying, selling or financing nor is it the primary beneficiary under ASC Topic 810, as discussed above in most of these investments. The Company does have significant influence over most of these investments, which requires equity method accounting. Under the equity method, the Company increases its investment for its proportionate share of net income and contributions to the joint venture and decreases its investment balance by recording its proportionate share of net loss and distributions. The Company accounts for some of its investments under the cost method. Due to its minor ownership of three investments as well as the terms of the underlying operating agreements, the Company has no influence over such entities' operating and financial policies. Other than the minority investor rights to which the Company is entitled pursuant to statute, it has no rights other than to receive its pro-rata share of cash distributions as declared by the managers of these investments. The Company has no rights with respect to the control and operation of these investments vehicles, nor with the formulation and execution of business and investment policies. The Company recognizes income for distributions in excess of its investment where there is no recourse to the Company. For investments in which there is recourse to the Company, distributions in excess of the investment are recorded as a liability. Although the Company accounts for its investment in Albertson’s (Note 4) under the equity method of accounting, the Company adopted the policy of not recording its equity in earnings or losses of this unconsolidated affiliate until it receives the audited financial statements of Albertson’s to support the equity earnings or losses in accordance with ASC Topic 323, “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures.”
The Company periodically reviews its investment in unconsolidated joint ventures for other-than-temporary losses in investment value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered is considered other than temporary and an impairment charge is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. During 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.0 million in connection with the estimated fair value in its investment in Mervyns. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no impairment charges related to the Company’s investment in unconsolidated joint ventures.
Use of Estimates
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) require the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of notes receivable and rents receivable. Application of these estimates and assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Real Estate
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Construction in progress includes costs for significant property expansion and redevelopment. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 30 to

Real Estate, continued
40 years for buildings, the shorter of the useful life or lease term for tenant improvements and five years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities (including land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as above and below market leases and acquired in-place leases and customer relationships) and acquired liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations” and ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” and allocates the acquisition price based on these assessments. Fixed-rate renewal options have been included in the calculation of the fair value of acquired leases where applicable. To the extent there were fixed-rate options at below-market rental rates, the Company included these along with the current term below-market rent in arriving at the fair value of the acquired leases. The discounted difference between contract and market rents is being amortized over the remaining applicable lease term, inclusive of any option periods. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property.
The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development and redevelopment of real estate including pre-construction costs, interest, real estate taxes, insurance, construction costs and salaries and related costs of personnel directly involved with the specific project. Additionally, the Company capitalizes interest costs related to development and redevelopment activities. Capitalization of these costs begin when the activities and related expenditures commence, and cease when the property is held available for occupancy upon substantial completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from the completion of major construction activity at which time the project is placed in service and depreciation commences.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when there is an event or a change in circumstances that indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company measures and records impairment losses and reduces the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying costs to fair value, and for properties held for sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company determined that the value of the Granville Centre owned by Fund I was impaired. Accordingly, an impairment loss of $6.9 million was recorded, of which the Operating Partnership's share was $1.5 million . During the years ended December 31, 2012, and 2010, no impairment charges were recorded. Management does not believe that the values of its properties within the portfolio are impaired as of December 31, 2012 .
The Company recognizes property sales in accordance with ASC Topic 970 “Real Estate.” The Company generally records the sales of operating properties and outparcels using the full accrual method at closing when the earnings process is deemed to be complete. Sales not qualifying for full recognition at the time of sale are accounted for under other appropriate deferral methods.
The Company evaluates the held-for-sale classification of its real estate each quarter. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Assets are generally classified as held for sale once management has initiated an active program to market them for sale and has received a firm purchase commitment. The results of operations of these real estate properties are reflected as discontinued operations in all periods presented.
On occasion, the Company will receive unsolicited offers from third parties to buy individual Company properties. Under these circumstances, the Company will classify the properties as held for sale when a sales contract is executed with no contingencies and the prospective buyer has funds at risk to ensure performance.
Involuntary Conversion of Asset
The Company experienced significant flooding resulting in extensive damage to one of its properties during September 2011. Costs related to the clean-up and redevelopment were insured for an amount sufficient that would allow for full restoration of the property. Loss of rents during the redevelopment were covered by business interruption insurance subject to a $0.1 million deductible.

Involuntary Conversion of Asset, continued
In accordance with ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and as a result of the above-described property damage, the Company had recorded a write-down of the asset's carrying value of approximately $1.4 million , as well as an insurance recovery in the same amount that is included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011. The Company also provided a $0.1 million provision in the 2011 consolidated statement of income for its exposure to the insurance deductible attributable to the loss of rents. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company received insurance proceeds of approximately $3.7 million and $6.9 million , respectively. The Company recognized a gain on involuntary conversion of $2.4 million as these proceeds exceeded the asset's net basis.
Deferred Costs
Fees and costs paid in the successful negotiation of leases are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Fees and costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt obligation. The Company capitalizes salaries, commissions and benefits related to time spent by leasing and legal department personnel involved in originating leases.
Management Contracts
Income from management contracts is recognized on an accrual basis as such fees are earned. The initial acquisition costs of any management contracts are amortized over the estimated lives of the contracts acquired.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized, net of any rent concessions or tenant lease incentives, including free rent, on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases, beginning when the tenant is entitled to take possession of the space. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, included in Rents Receivable, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are unbilled rents receivable relating to the straight-lining of rents of $25.7 million and $22.8 million , respectively. Certain of these leases also provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the tenant. Percentage rent is recognized in the period when the tenants’ sales breakpoint is met. In addition, leases typically provide for the reimbursement to the Company of real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses. These reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the related expenses are incurred.
The Company makes estimates of the uncollectability of its accounts receivable related to tenant revenues. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided against certain tenant accounts receivable that are estimated to be uncollectible. Once the amount is ultimately deemed to be uncollectible, it is written off. Rents receivable at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $6.1 million and $5.3 million , respectively.
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable are intended to be held to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Interest income from notes receivable are recognized on the effective interest method over the expected life of the loan. Under the effective interest method, interest or fees collected at the origination of the loan or the payoff of the loan are recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield.
Allowances for real estate notes receivable are established based upon management’s quarterly review of the investments. In performing this review, management considers the estimated net recoverable value of the loan as well as other factors, including the fair value of any collateral, the amount and status of any senior debt, and the prospects for the borrower. Because this determination is based upon projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amounts ultimately realized from the loans may differ materially from their carrying values at the balance sheet date. Interest income recognition is generally suspended for loans when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. Income recognition is resumed when the suspended loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.
During 2012, the Company provided a $0.4 million net reserve on note receivables as a result of changes in the value of the underlying collateral properties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed the federally insured limit by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances.
Restricted Cash and Cash in Escrow
Restricted cash and cash in escrow consist principally of cash held for real estate taxes, construction costs, property maintenance, insurance, minimum occupancy and property operating income requirements at specific properties as required by certain loan agreements.
Income Taxes
The Company has made an election to be taxed, and believes it qualifies, as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To maintain REIT status for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders as well as comply with certain other income, asset and organizational requirements as defined in the Code. Accordingly, the Company is generally not subject to Federal corporate income tax to the extent that it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income each year.
Although it may qualify for REIT status for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is subject to state income or franchise taxes in certain states in which some of its properties are located. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) is fully subject to Federal, state and local income taxes.
The Company accounts for TRS income taxes under the liability method as required by ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between the GAAP basis and tax basis of the TRS income, assets and liabilities.
In accordance with ASC Topic 740, the Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and, as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that, if successfully challenged, could result in a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operation. The prior three years' income tax returns are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” As such, all equity based awards are reflected as compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements over their vesting period based on the fair value at the date of grant.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-03, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." ASU 2013-03 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. ASU is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2013-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

During April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, “A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” ASU 2011-02 requires a creditor to evaluate whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring by concluding that the restructuring constitutes a concession and that the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties and was effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-02 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, continued
During May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to converge the fair value measurement guidance in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments, which primarily require additional fair value disclosure, are to be applied prospectively. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

During June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which revises the manner in which companies present comprehensive income. Under ASU No. 2011-05, companies may present comprehensive income, which is net income adjusted for the components of other comprehensive income, either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or by using two separate but consecutive statements. Regardless of the alternative chosen, companies must display adjustments for items reclassified from other comprehensive income into net income within the presentation of both net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 as of December 31, 2011 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

During December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of In substance Real Estate - a Scope Clarification" which clarifies current guidance found in ASC Topic 810 as to how to account when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary's nonrecourse debt. ASU No. 2011-10 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-10 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

The Company expensed $0.5 million of costs for the year ended December 31, 2012 related to these 2012 Fund IV acquisitions.
The above Core Portfolio and Opportunity Fund acquisitions, excluding the acquisitions of undeveloped land, have been accounted for as business combinations. The purchase prices were allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on the Company's current best estimate of fair value of these acquired assets and assumed liabilities at the dates of acquisition. The preliminary measurements of fair value reflected below are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the valuations and complete the purchase price allocations within one year from the dates of acquisition.
The following table summarizes both the Company's preliminary and finalized allocations of the purchase prices of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during 2012:

3. Segment Reporting
The Company has four reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Opportunity Funds, Notes Receivable and Other. Notes Receivable consists of the Company’s notes receivable and preferred equity investment and related interest income. Other consists primarily of management fees and interest income. As a result of the sale of the majority of the Company's Self-Storage Portfolio during 2012, the Company no longer reports these discontinued operations as a separate segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items. Investments in the Core Portfolio are typically held long-term. Given the contemplated finite life of the Opportunity Funds, these investments are typically held for shorter terms. Fees earned by the Company as the general partner or managing member of the Opportunity Funds are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The following table sets forth certain segment information for the Company, reclassified for discontinued operations, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 (does not include unconsolidated affiliates or discontinued operations):

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
4. Investments In and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates
Core Portfolio
The Company owns a 22.2% interest in an approximately one million square foot retail portfolio (the “Brandywine Portfolio”) located in Wilmington, Delaware, a 49% interest in a 311,000 square foot shopping center located in White Plains, New York (“Crossroads”) and a 50% interest in an approximately 28,000 square foot retail portfolio located in Georgetown, Washington D.C. (the "Georgetown Portfolio"). These investments are accounted for under the equity method.
Opportunity Funds
RCP Venture
The Opportunity Funds, along with Klaff Realty, LP (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. ("Lubert-Adler"), formed an investment group, the RCP Venture, for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The RCP Venture is neither a single entity nor a specific investment. Any member of this group has the option of participating, or not, in any individual investment and each individual investment has been made on a stand-alone basis through a separate limited liability company (“LLC”). These investments have been made through different investment vehicles with different affiliated and unaffiliated investors and different economics to the Company. Investments under the RCP Venture are structured as separate joint ventures as there may be other investors participating in certain investments in addition to Klaff, Lubert-Adler and Acadia. The Company has made these investments through its subsidiaries, Mervyns I, Mervyns II and Fund II, (together the “Acadia Investors”), all on a non-recourse basis. Through December 31, 2012, the Acadia Investors have made investments in Mervyns Department Stores (“Mervyns”) and Albertson’s, as well as additional investments in locations that are separate from these original investments (“Add-On Investments”). Additionally, they have invested in Shopko, Marsh and Rex Stores Corporation (collectively “Other RCP Investments”).
Mervyns Department Stores
Through Mervyns I and Mervyns II, the Company invested in a consortium to acquire Mervyns, consisting of 262 stores (“REALCO”) and its retail operations (“OPCO”), from Target Corporation. The Company’s share of this investment was $23.2 million . Subsequent to the initial acquisition, the Company, through Mervyns I and Mervyns II, made additional investments of $3.9 million . Through December 31, 2012, REALCO has disposed of a significant portion of the portfolio. In addition, in November 2007, the Company sold its interest in OPCO and, as a result, has no further investment in OPCO. Through December 31, 2012, the Company has received distributions from this investment totaling $46.0 million .
Through December 31, 2012, the Company, through Mervyns I and Mervyns II, made Add-On Investments in Mervyns totaling $6.5 million and have received distributions totaling $3.6 million .
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.0 million on its investment in Mervyn's relating to a reduction in the fair value of the remaining assets of the portfolio. The Operating Partnership's share of this impairment, net of taxes, was $0.2 million.
Albertson’s
The RCP Venture made its second investment as part of an investment consortium, acquiring Albertson’s and Cub Foods, of which the Company’s share was $20.7 million . Through December 31, 2012, the Company has received distributions from this investment totaling $81.7 million , including $2.4 million and $4.5 million received in 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Through December 31, 2012, the Company, through Mervyns II, made Add-On Investments in Albertson’s totaling $2.4 million and received distributions totaling $4.8 million , including $3.1 million received in 2012.
Other RCP Investments
Through December 31, 2012, the Company, through Fund II, made investments of $1.1 million in Shopko, $0.7 million in Marsh, and $2.0 million in Marsh Add-On Investments.

The Company accounts for the original investments in Mervyns and Albertson’s under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control.

Other Opportunity Fund Investments
Fund II Investments
Prior to June 30, 2010, Fund II had a 24.75% interest in CityPoint, a redevelopment project located in downtown Brooklyn, NY, which was accounted for under the equity method. On June 30, 2010, Fund II acquired the remaining interest in the project from its unaffiliated partner and, as a result, has consolidated the CityPoint investment since that point.
Fund III Investments
The unaffiliated venture partners for the Lincoln Road, Arundel Plaza, Parkway Crossing and the White City Shopping Center investments maintain control over these entities and, as such, the Company accounts for these investments under the equity method.
During June 2010, Fund III, in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, invested in an entity for the purpose of providing management services to owners of self-storage properties. Fund III has a 50% interest in the entity. This entity was determined to be a variable interest entity but it was determined that the Company was not the primary beneficiary. As such, the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method.
Fund IV Investments
The unaffiliated venture partners for 1701 Belmont Avenue (Note 2) and Lincoln Road (Note 2) investment maintain control over the entity and, as such, the Company accounts for these investments under the equity method.

9. Convertible Notes Payable
In December 2006 and January 2007, the Company issued a total of $115.0 million of convertible notes with a fixed interest rate of 3.75% due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes were issued at par and require interest payments semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Convertible Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Convertible Notes have an effective interest rate of 6.03% giving effect to the accounting treatment required by ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” The Convertible Notes had an initial conversion price of $30.86 per share. The conversion rate may be adjusted under certain circumstances, including the payment of cash dividends in excess of the regular quarterly cash dividend in place at the time the Convertible Notes were issued. As of December 31, 2012, the adjusted conversion price is $29.26 . Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company will deliver cash and, in some circumstances, Common Shares, as specified in the indenture relating to the Convertible Notes. In general, the Convertible Notes may only be converted prior to maturity during any calendar quarter beginning after December 31, 2006 if the Company’s Common Shares trade at 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 days within a consecutive 30 day trading period. Prior to December 20, 2011, the Company did not have the right to redeem Convertible Notes, except to preserve its status as a REIT. After December 20, 2011, the Company has the right to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The Holders of notes may require the Company to repurchase their notes, in whole or in part, on December 20, 2011, December 15, 2016, and December 15, 2021 for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase date (the "Repurchase Option").
In general, upon a conversion of notes, the Company will deliver cash and, at the Company’s election, its Common Shares, with an aggregate value, which the Company refers to as the “conversion value”, equal to the conversion rate multiplied by the average price of the Company’s Common Shares. The net amount may be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash, its Common Shares or any combination of the two.
The Convertible Notes "if-converted" value does not exceed their principal amount as of December 31, 2012, and there are no derivative transactions that were entered into in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 470-20 which required it to retrospectively restate and reclassify previously disclosed consolidated financial statements to allocate the proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt between a debt component and an equity component. The resulting discount on the debt component was amortized over the period the convertible debt was expected to be outstanding, which was December 11, 2006 to December 20, 2011, as additional non-cash interest expense. The equity component recorded as additional paid-in capital was $11.3 million , which represented the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the fair value of the liability at the time of issuance. As the Company determined, in connection with the Repurchase Option, that the Convertible Notes matured on December 20, 2011, as of December 31, 2012, all loan costs associated with the issuance have been expensed and there is no remaining carrying amount of the equity component included in additional paid-in capital.
The carrying amount of the equity component included in additional paid-in capital totaled $1.1 million at December 31, 2010. Interest expense relating to the contractual interest coupon recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income was $0.03 million , $1.5 million , and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively, The additional non-cash interest expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income was $0.8 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
During 2011, the Company purchased $48.8 million of the Convertible Notes, including $24.0 million that was repurchased on December 20, 2011 pursuant to the Repurchase Option. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has purchased $114.1 million in principal amount of its convertible debt at an average discount of approximately 11% . The transactions resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of ($0.4) million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The outstanding Convertible Notes principal amount and net carrying amount was $0.9 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

10. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The FASB’s fair value measurements and disclosure guidance requires the valuation of certain of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, based on a three-level fair value hierarchy. Market participant assumptions obtained from sources independent of the Company are observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy, and the Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions are unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.
The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 :

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company determined that the value of the Granville Centre owned by Fund I was impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $6.9 million (Note 1). The Company estimated the Granville Centre's fair value by using projected future cash flows, which it determined were not sufficient to recover the property's net book value. The inputs used to determine the fair value of the Granville Centre were classified as Level 3 under authoritative guidance for fair value measurements.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company determined that carrying value in its investment in Mervyns was overstated and recorded an impairment of $2.0 million (Note 1). The analysis performed consisted of discounted cash flows which were used to determine the fair value of the Mervyns investment and were classified as Level 3 under authoritative guidance for fair value measurements.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The FASB’s derivative and hedging guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by the FASB guidance, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecast transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive (loss) income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value would be recognized in earnings.
As of December 31, 2012 , the Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted of seven interest rate LIBOR swaps with an aggregate notional value of $132.9 million , which fix interest at rates from 1.57% to 3.77% , and mature between May 2015 and December 2022. The Company also has four derivative financial instruments with a notional value of $141.4 million which cap interest rates ranging from 3.0% to 6.0% and mature between April 2013 and November 2015. The fair value of the derivative liability of these instruments, which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, totaled $4.4 million and $3.5 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The notional value does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.
These derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows on variable rate mortgage debt. Such instruments are reported at the fair value reflected above. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, unrealized losses totaling $4.3 million and $3.9 million , respectively, were reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss. It is estimated that approximately $1.5 million included in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense in the 2013 results of operations.

Derivative Financial Instruments, continued
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. As of December 31, 2012 , none of the Company’s hedges were ineffective.
Financial Instruments
Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities meet the definition of financial instruments. Except as disclosed below, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of such accounts.

15. Share Incentive Plan
During 2012, the Company terminated the 1999 and 2003 Plans and adopted the Amended 2006 Plan. The Amended 2006 Plan increased the authorization to issue options, Restricted Shares and LTIP Units (collectively "Awards") available to officers and employees by 1.9 million shares to 2.1 million shares. Options are granted by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”), which currently consists of three non-employee Trustees, and will not have an exercise price less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Shares and a term of greater than ten years at the grant date. Vesting of options is at the discretion of the Committee. The Committee determines the restrictions placed on Awards, including the dividends or distributions thereon and the term of such restrictions. The Committee also determines the award and vesting of the awards based on the attainment of specified performance objectives of the Company within a specified performance period.

15. Share Incentive Plan, continued
On March 15, 2012, the Company issued a total of 279,611 LTIP Units and 1,358 Restricted Share Units to officers of the Company and 9,435 Restricted Share Units to other employees of the Company. Vesting with respect to these awards is generally recognized ratably over the five annual anniversaries following the issuance date. Vesting with respect to 17% of the awards issued to officers is also generally subject to achieving certain Company performance measures. LTIP Units are similar to Restricted Shares but provide for a quarterly partnership distribution in a like amount as paid to Common OP Units. This distribution is paid on both unvested and vested LTIP Units. The LTIP Units are convertible into Common OP Units and Common Shares upon vesting and a revaluation of the book capital accounts.

These awards were measured at their fair value as if they were vested on the grant date. Fair value was established as the market price of the Company's Common Shares as of the close of trading on the day preceding the grant date.

The total value of the above Restricted Share Units and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $6.4 million , of which $2.6 million was recognized in compensation expense during 2011 and $3.8 million will be recognized in compensation expense over the vesting period. The weighted average fair value for Restricted Shares and LTIP Units granted for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $21.98 , $19.08 and $16.73 , respectively.
Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the above mentioned plans, was $3.6 million , $4.0 million and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
On May 10, 2012, the Company issued 19,360 Restricted Shares to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. Vesting with respect to 8,983 of the Restricted Shares will be on the first anniversary of the date of issuance and 10,377 of the Restricted Shares vest over three years with 33% vesting on each of the next three anniversaries of the issuance date. The Restricted Shares do not carry voting rights or other rights of Common Shares until vesting and may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. Dividends are not paid currently on unvested Restricted Shares, but are paid cumulatively from the issuance date through the applicable vesting date of such Restricted Shares. Trustee fee expense of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated statement of income related to this issuance.

In 2009, the Company adopted the Long Term Investment Alignment Program (the “Program”) pursuant to which the Company may award units primarily to senior executives which would entitle them to receive up to 25% of any future Fund III Promote when and if such Promote is ultimately realized. The Company has awarded units representing 81% of the Program, which were determined to have no value at issuance or as of December 31, 2012. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” compensation relating to these awards will be recorded based on the change in the estimated fair value at each reporting period.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had 100,647 options outstanding to officers and employees and 37,000 options outstanding to non-employee Trustees of the Company all of which have vested. These options are for ten-year terms from the grant date and vested in three equal annual installments, which began on their respective grant dates.

As of December 31, 2012, there was $9.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under share incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. The total fair value of Restricted Shares that vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $0.8 million , $2.2 million and $3.0 million , respectively.
16. Employee Share Purchase and Deferred Share Plan
The Acadia Realty Trust Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”), allows eligible employees of the Company to purchase Common Shares through payroll deductions. The Purchase Plan provides for employees to purchase Common Shares on a quarterly basis at a 15% discount to the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on either the first day or the last day of the quarter, whichever is lower. A participant may not purchase more the $25,000 in Common Shares per year. Compensation expense will be recognized by the Company to the extent of the above discount to the closing price of the Common Shares with respect to the applicable quarter. During 2012, 2011 and 2010, a total of 3,829 , 4,886 and 6,184 Common Shares, respectively, were purchased by employees under the Purchase Plan. Associated compensation expense of $0.01 million was recorded in both 2012 and 2011 and $0.02 million was recorded in 2010.
During May of 2006, the Company adopted a Trustee Deferral and Distribution Election (“Trustee Deferral Plan”), whereby the participating Trustees have deferred compensation of $0.06 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010.
17. Employee 401(k) Plan
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for employees under which the Company currently matches 50% of a plan participant’s contribution up to 6% of the employee’s annual salary. A plan participant may contribute up to a maximum of 15% of their compensation, up to $17,000 , for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company contributed $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $0.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

18. Dividends and Distributions Payable
On November 5, 2012, the Board of Trustees declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 of $0.18 per Common Share, which was paid on January 15, 2013 to holders of record as of December 31, 2012.
19. Federal Income Taxes
The Company has elected to qualify as a REIT in accordance with Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and intends at all times to qualify as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate Federal income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. As the Company distributed sufficient taxable income for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, no U.S. Federal income or excise taxes were incurred. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to Federal income taxes at the regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even though the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and Federal income and excise taxes on any undistributed taxable income. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through the Company’s Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRS”) is subject to Federal, state and local income taxes.
Characterization of Distributions:
The Company has determined that the cash distributed to the shareholders is characterized as follows for Federal income tax purposes:

20. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Common Shareholders by the weighted average Common Shares outstanding. At December 31, 2012, the Company has unvested LTIP Units (Note 15) which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested LTIP Units are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic earnings per Common Share pursuant to the two-class method.
Diluted earnings per Common Share reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of restricted share unit ("Restricted Share Units") and share option awards issued under the Company’s Share Incentive Plans (Note 15). The effect of the assumed conversion of 188 Series A Preferred OP Units into 25,067 Common Shares would be dilutive and therefore are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 2012, 2011 and 2010.
The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share. The conversion of the convertible notes payable (Note 9) is not included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share as such conversion, based on the current market price of the Common Shares, would be settled with cash.

22. Commitments and Contingencies
Under various Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances disposed, stored, generated, released, manufactured or discharged from, on, at, under, or in a property. As such, the Company may be potentially liable for costs associated with any potential environmental remediation at any of its formerly or currently owned properties.
The Company conducts Phase I environmental reviews with respect to properties it acquires. These reviews include an investigation for the presence of asbestos, underground storage tanks and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Although such reviews are intended to evaluate the environmental condition of the subject property as well as surrounding properties, there can be no assurance that the review conducted by the Company will be adequate to identify environmental or other problems that may exist. Where a Phase II assessment is so recommended, a Phase II assessment is conducted to further determine the extent of possible environmental contamination. In all instances where a Phase I or II assessment has resulted in specific recommendations for remedial actions, the Company has either taken or scheduled the recommended remedial action. To mitigate unknown risks, the Company has obtained environmental insurance for most of its properties, which covers only unknown environmental risks.
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all Federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which the Company would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned. However, there can be no assurance that any such non-compliance, liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the future.
The Company is involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While the Company is unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved, the Company’s management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, the Company’s resulting liability, if any, will not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The Company's policy is to accrue legal expenses as they are incurred.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
22. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
In September 2008, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, and other unrelated entities (the “Investor Consortium”) were named as defendants in an adversary proceeding brought by Mervyns LLC (“Mervyns”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The action involved five claims alleging fraudulent transfers in which Mervyns was nominally seeking approximately $1.175 billion in damages from the Investor Consortium, although the actual claims made by the administrator and the unsecured creditors were substantially less. The first claim contended that, at the time of the sale of Mervyns by Target Corporation ("Target") to the Investor Consortium, a transfer of assets was made in an effort to defraud creditors. The Company believed that this aspect of the case is without merit. The remaining four claims related to transfers of assets of Mervyns at various times after the sale by Target. The Company believed that there were substantial defenses to these claims.

During the third quarter of 2012, the parties to this litigation arrived at an agreement to settle the claim. The settlement was approved by the bankruptcy court and provided for a payment of $166.0 million . Based on the defendants' agreement, the net cost of the settlement to the Investor Consortium amounted to approximately $149.0 million . After applying cash on hand at the investee level, Mervyns I and Mervyns II's combined contribution to this settlement was approximately $1.0 million . In addition, the Company reduced its carrying value of these investments from $6.3 million to its fair value of $5.3 million . In total, this resulted in a charge of $2.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2012, of which the Operating Partnership's share, net of income taxes, was $0.2 million .
During August 2009, the Company terminated the employment of a former Senior Vice President (the “Former Employee”) for engaging in conduct that fell within the definition of “cause” in his severance agreement with the Company. Had the Former Employee not been terminated for “cause,” he would have been eligible to receive approximately $0.9 million under the severance agreement. Because the Company terminated him for “cause,” it did not pay the Former Employee any severance benefits under the agreement. The Former Employee has brought a lawsuit against the Company in New York State Supreme Court, alleging breach of the severance agreement. The suit is in the pre-trial discovery stage. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the suit.
23. Subsequent Events
During January 2013, the Company closed on a new $150 million unsecured credit facility. This revolving facility replaced the $64.5 million secured credit facility that has matured. The new credit facility matures on January 31, 2016 with an additional one-year extension option.

During January 2013, Fund III received $2.5 million , representing the reimbursement of costs and accrued interest, relating to a project that was previously fully impaired for financial reporting purposes.  This will be recognized as income during 2013.

During February 2013, Fund III acquired a property on Nostrand Avenue located in Brooklyn, New York for $19.0 million . In connection with this acquisition, we received repayment of an $18.5 million note receivable. In addition, as part of this transaction, Fund III closed on a new mortgage loan for $16.0 million . The new loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 265 basis points and matures on February 1, 2016 with two one-year extension options.
During February 2013, the Board of Trustees declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of $0.21 per Common Share, which is payable on April 15, 2013 to holders of record as of March 29, 2013. The effective date for record holders is March 28, 2013.

For purposes of this Declaration of Trust, the number and value of the total Shares outstanding shall be determined by the Trustees in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In addition, each direct or indirect Shareholder, irrespective of such shareholder’s percentage ownership of outstanding Shares, shall upon demand be required to disclose to the Trust in writing such information with respect to the direct or indirect ownership of Shares as the Trustees deem necessary from time to time to enable the Trustees to determine whether the Trust complies with the REIT Provisions of the Code, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental agency or to determine any such compliance.
(b)      If, in the opinion of the Trustees, which shall be binding upon any prospective acquiror of Shares, any proposed transfer or issuance would jeopardize the status of the Trust as a real estate investment trust under the REIT Provisions of the Code, the Trustees shall have the right, but not the duty, to refuse to permit such transfer or issuance or refuse to give effect to such transfer or issuance and to take any action to void any such issuance or cause any such transfer not to occur.
(c)      As a condition to any transfer and/or registration of transfer on the books of the Trust of any Shares or Securities convertible into Shares which could result in direct or indirect ownership (as hereafter defined) of Shares exceeding 4.0% of the lesser of the number or the value of the total Shares outstanding (the “Excess Shares”) by a Person other than an Excepted Person, such prospective transferee shall give written notice to the Trust of the proposed transfer and shall furnish such opinions of counsel, affidavits, undertakings,



agreements and information as may be required by the Trustees no later than the 15th day prior to any transfer which, if consummated, would result in such ownership.
(d)      Any transfer of Shares or Securities convertible into Shares that would (i) create a direct or indirect owner of Excess Shares other than an Excepted Person; (ii) result in the Shares being owned by fewer than 100 Persons for purposes of the REIT Provisions of the Code; or (iii) result in the Trust being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, shall be void ab initio and the prospective acquiror shall not be entitled to any rights afforded to owners of Shares hereunder and shall be deemed never to have had an interest therein. Any issuance of Shares or Securities convertible into Shares that would (i) create a direct or indirect owner of Excess Shares other than an Excepted Person or (ii) result in the Trust being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, shall be void ab initio and the prospective acquiror shall not be entitled to any rights afforded to owners of Shares hereunder and shall be deemed never to have had an interest therein.
“Excepted Person” shall mean (i) Marvin L. Slomowitz and (ii) any Trustee, employee of the Trust and any other Person approved by the Trustees, at their option and in their sole discretion; provided, however, that such approval shall not be granted to any Person whose ownership of in excess of 4.0% of the lesser of the number or the value of the total Shares outstanding would result, directly, indirectly or as a result of attribution of ownership, in termination of the status of the Trust as a real estate investment trust under the REIT Provisions of the Code.
(e)      The Trust, by notice to she holder thereof, may purchase any or all Shares that are proposed to be transferred pursuant to a transfer which, in the opinion of the Trustees, which shall be binding upon any proposed transferee of Shares, would result in any Person acquiring Excess Shares, or would otherwise jeopardize the status of the Trust as a real estate investment trust under the REIT Provisions of the Code. The Trust shall have the power, by lot or other means deemed equitable by them in their sole discretion, to purchase such Excess Shares from the prospective transferor. The purchase price for any Excess shares shall be equal to the fair market value of the Shares on the last trading day immediately preceding the day on which notice of such proposed transfer is sent, as reflected in the closing sale price for the Shares, if then listed on a national securities exchange, or such price for the Shares on the principal exchange if then listed on more than one national securities exchange, or if the Shares are not then listed on a national securities exchange, the latest bid quotation for the Shares if then traded over-the-counter, or, if no such closing sales prices or quotations are available, then the purchase price shall be equal to the fair market value of such Shares as determined by the Trustees in good faith. Prompt payment of the purchase price shall be made in cash by the Trust in such manner as may be determined by the Trustees. From and after the date fixed for purchase by the Trustees, and so long as payment of the purchase price for the Shares to be so



redeemed shall have been made or duly provided for, the holder of any Excess Shares so called for purchase shall cease to be entitled to dividends, distributions, voting rights and other benefits with respect to such Shares, excepting only the right to payment of the purchase price fixed as aforesaid. Any dividend or distribution paid to a proposed transferee on Excess Shares prior to the discovery by the Trust that the Shares have been transferred in violation of this Section 6.6 shall be repaid to the Trust upon demand.
(f)      Notwithstanding any other provision in this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws, Sections 6.6(d), (e), (f) and (g) may not be amended or repealed without the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the Shares then outstanding and entitled to vote. If Section 6.6(d), (e), (f) or (g) is determined to be void or invalid by virtue of any legal decision, statute, rule or regulation, then the acquiror of Shares or Securities convertible into Shares in violation of such Sections shall be deemed, at the option of the Trust, to have acted as agent on behalf of the Trust in acquiring such Shares and to hold such Shares on behalf of the Trust.
(g)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration of Trust to the contrary, any purported transfer, sale or acquisition of Shares (whether such purported transfer, sale or acquisition results from the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership (as hereafter defined) of Shares) which would result in the termination of the status of the Trust as a real estate investment trust under the REIT Provisions of the Code shall be null and void ab initio . Any such Shares may be treated by the Trustees in the manner prescribed for Excess Shares in subsection (e) of this Section 6.6.
(h)      Nothing contained in this Section 6.6 or in any other provision of this Declaration of Trust shall limit the authority of the Trustees to take such other action as they deem necessary or advisable to protect the Trust and the interests of the Shareholders by preservation of the Trust’s status as a real estate investment trust under the REIT Provisions of the code.
(i)      If any provision of this Section 6.6 or any application of any such provision is determined to be invalid by any federal or state court having jurisdiction over the issues, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected and other applications of such provision shall be affected only to the extent necessary to comply with the determination of such court. To the extent this Section 6.6 may be inconsistent with any other provision of this Declaration of Trust, this Section 6.6 shall be controlling.
(j)      For purposes of this Declaration of Trust, shares not owned directly shall be deemed to be owned indirectly by a person if that person or a group of which he is a member would be the beneficial owner of such Shares, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the



Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and/or would be considered to own such Shares by reason of the REIT Provisions of the Code.

The applicable Borrowers shall have the right, with respect to: (i) any Reference Rate Loan, on any Business Day (a “ LIBOR Rate Conversion Date ”), to convert such Reference Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan; and (ii) any LIBOR Rate Loan, on any Business Day (a “ Reference Rate Conversion Date ”) to convert such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Reference Rate Loan; provided that the Borrowers shall, on such Reference Rate Conversion Date, make the payments required by Section 4.5 hereof, if any; in either case, by giving the Administrative Agent written notice at the Agency Services Address substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (a “ Conversion Notice ”) of such selection no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to such LIBOR Rate Conversion Date or Reference Rate Conversion Date, as applicable. Each Conversion Notice shall be effective upon notification thereof to the Administrative Agent. Each Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. A request of the Borrowers for a Conversion of a Reference Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan is subject to the condition that no Event of Default or Potential Default exists at the time of such request or after giving effect to such Conversion.
(h)      Tranches . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Loans may be outstanding hereunder at any one time during the Availability Period.
(i)      Administrative Agent Notification of the Lenders . The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the receipt of a Request for Borrowing, a Conversion Notice or a Rollover Notice, the amount of the Borrowing and the amount and currency of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans, the date the Borrowing is to be made, the Interest Option selected, the Interest Period selected, if applicable, and the applicable rate of interest.
2.4.      Minimum Loan Amounts . Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and each Reference Rate Loan shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 for each Lender; provided that a Reference Rate Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of a Letter of Credit under Section 2.8(c) .
2.5.      Funding . Subject to the fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. on the date specified in the Request for Borrowing

703041399 12410180     36



as the borrowing date, in immediately available funds, and, upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall deposit such proceeds in immediately available funds in the applicable Borrower’s account maintained with the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the borrowing date or, if requested by the Borrowers in the Request for Borrowing, shall wire-transfer such funds as requested on or before such time. The failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder. Absent contrary written notice from a Lender, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If a Lender fails to make its Pro Rata Share of any requested Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, then the Administrative Agent may recover the applicable amount on demand: (a) from such Lender, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for the period commencing on the date the amount was made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers the amount from such Lender; or (b) if such Lender fails to pay its amount upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, then from the Borrowers: (i) promptly on demand, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, to the extent such funds are available in the Collateral Accounts or any other account maintained by the Fund Parties; and (ii) otherwise, to the extent that it is necessary for the Credit Parties to issue a Capital Call to fund such required payment, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s demand (but, in any event, the Credit Parties shall issue such Capital Call and shall make such payment promptly after the related Capital Contributions are received); together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to the requested Borrowing for the period commencing on the borrowing date and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers the amount from the Borrowers. The liabilities and obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereunder shall be liable to the Borrowers only for the amount of its respective Commitment.
2.6.      Interest .
(a)      Interest Rate . Each Loan funded by the Lenders shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to: (i) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, Adjusted LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period; and (ii) with respect to Reference Rate Loans, the Reference Rate in effect from day to day. At any time, each Loan shall have only one Interest Period and one Interest Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the interest rate hereunder exceed the Maximum Rate.
(b)      Change in Rate; Past Due Amounts; Calculations of Interest . Each change in the rate of interest for any Borrowing consisting of Reference Rate Loans shall become effective, without prior notice to the Credit Parties, automatically as of the opening of business of the Administrative Agent on the date of said change. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of (i) each LIBOR Rate Loan and Reference Rate Loan bearing interest off LIBOR shall be calculated

703041399 12410180     37



on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days and (ii) each Reference Rate Loan (other than when the Reference Rate is calculated based off LIBOR) shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.
(c)      Default Rate . If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.6(a) above) all Obligations shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at the Default Rate.
2.7.      Determination of Rate . The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the LIBOR Rate Loans and Reference Rate Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall, upon request, give notice to the Borrowers and to the Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.
2.8.      Letters of Credit .
(a)      Letter of Credit Commitment . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue such Letters of Credit in Dollars and in such aggregate face amounts as the Borrowers may request; provided that: (i) on the date of issuance, the Letter of Credit Liability (after giving effect to the issuance of any such Letter of Credit) will not exceed the lesser of: (A) the remainder of: (1) the Available Commitment as of such date minus (2) the Principal Obligations as of such date and (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit; (ii) each Letter of Credit shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 (provided, however, that three (3) Letters of Credit for amounts less than $500,000 may be issued each calendar year); (iii) the expiry date of the Letter of Credit shall not be later than (A) twelve (12) months after the date of issuance (subject to automatic renewal for additional one year periods pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit Application or other documentation acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer) without the Letter of Credit Issuer’s consent, in its sole discretion, or (B) thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date, or, if the Borrowers comply with Section 2.8(h) , within one (1) year after the Stated Maturity Date, (iv) each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and/or ISP98, as set forth in the Letter of Credit Application or as determined by the Letter of Credit Issuer and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York, and (v) the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after the Closing Date (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law applicable to the Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Letter of Credit Issuer deems material to it, (B) the Borrowers have not provided the information necessary for the Letter

703041399 12410180     38



of Credit Issuer to complete the form of Letter of Credit, or (C) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Applicable Law or one or more policies of the Letter of Credit Issuer.
(b)      Request . Each request for a Letter of Credit (a “ Request for Letter of Credit ”) shall be submitted to the Administrative Agent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith), together with an Application for Letter of Credit and a Borrowing Base Certificate, for the Letter of Credit Issuer, on or before 11:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of such Request for Letter of Credit and the terms of the requested Letter of Credit. Upon each such application, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have automatically made to the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and the Letter of Credit Issuer the following representations and warranties:
(i)      As of the date of the issuance of the Letter of Credit requested, the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such issuance, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date);
(ii)      The Letter of Credit Liability (after giving effect to the issuance of the requested Letter of Credit) will not exceed the lesser of: (A) the remainder of: (1) the Available Commitment as of such date; minus (2) the Principal Obligations as of such date; and (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit on such date;
(iii)      All conditions precedent in Section 6.2 hereof for the issuance of such Letter of Credit will be satisfied as of the date of issuance.
(c)      Participation by the Lenders . Each Lender shall and does hereby participate ratably with the Letter of Credit Issuer in each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder to the extent of its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Liability with respect to each such Letter of Credit, and shall share in all rights and obligations resulting therefrom, including, without limitation: (i) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any reimbursement of the amount of each draft drawn under each Letter of Credit, including any interest payable with respect thereto; (ii) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee pursuant to Section 2.13 ; (iii) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its additional costs pursuant to Section 4.1 ; and (iv) the obligation to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, in immediately available funds, its Pro Rata Share of any unreimbursed drawing under a Letter of Credit.
(d)      Payment of Letter of Credit . In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Borrowers agree to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Loan as provided for in this Section or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, the Letter of Credit Issuer on each date on which the Letter of Credit Issuer notifies the Borrowers of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit for the amount of such draft so paid and any amounts representing interest, costs, expenses or fees incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such payment. Unless the Borrowers shall immediately notify the Letter of Credit Issuer that

703041399 12410180     39



the Borrowers intend to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for such drawing from other sources or funds, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have timely given a Request for Borrowing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers hereby authorize, empower, and direct the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Letter of Credit Issuer, to disburse directly, as a Borrowing hereunder, to the Letter of Credit Issuer, with notice to the Borrowers, in immediately available funds an amount equal to the stated amount of each draft drawn under each Letter of Credit plus all interest, costs and expenses, and fees due to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Credit Agreement. Subject to receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer on the Business Day on which the Letter of Credit Issuer honors any such draft or incurs or is owed any such interest, costs, expenses or fees. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of any such disbursements made by the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of the disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof. Any such disbursement made by the Lenders to the Letter of Credit Issuer on account of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed a Reference Rate Loan; and such disbursements shall be made without regard to the minimum and multiple amounts specified in Section 2.4 . The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may conclusively rely on the Letter of Credit Issuer as to the amount due the Letter of Credit Issuer by reason of any draft of a Letter of Credit or due the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Application for Letter of Credit. The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, and, as applicable, the obligations of the Borrowers with respect to Borrowings, each under this Section 2.8(d) shall be irrevocable, shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall, irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions to the making of any Loans described in Sections 2.1(b) , 6.1 , 6.2 and/or 6.3 , as applicable, be honored in accordance with this Section 2.8(d) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the terms of the Letter of Credit; (iii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the account party and beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit); (iv) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a draw under a Letter of Credit; (v) any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (vi) any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit,

703041399 12410180     40



including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; (vii) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (viii) the occurrence of any Event of Default or Potential Default or (ix) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party.
(e)      Borrower Inspection . The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to them and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will immediately notify the Letter of Credit Issuer. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f)      Role of Letter of Credit Issuer . Each Lender and the Credit Parties agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided , however , that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 2.8(d) . In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g)      Acceleration of Undrawn Amounts . Should the Administrative Agent demand payment of the Obligations hereunder prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 10.2 , the Administrative Agent, by written notice to the Borrowers, may take one or both of the following actions: (i) declare the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder terminated, whereupon such obligations shall forthwith terminate without any other notice of any kind; or (ii) declare the outstanding Letter of Credit Liability to be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby

703041399 12410180     41



waived, and demand that the Borrowers pay to the Administrative Agent for deposit in a segregated interest-bearing cash collateral account, as security for the Obligations, an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn stated amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding at the time such notice is given. Unless otherwise required by law, upon the full and final payment of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrowers any amounts remaining in said cash collateral account.
(h)      Cash Collateral . (A) If, as of the Stated Maturity Date, any Letters of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, or (B) the occurrence of any other circumstances under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents requiring the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit, the Borrowers shall promptly Cash Collateralize in an amount equal to Minimum Collateral Amount or, in the case of sub-clause (B) above, such amount expressly required by the terms of this Credit Agreement or other Loan Document, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be held by Administrative Agent as Cash Collateral subject to the terms of this clause (h) and any security agreement, control agreement and other documentation requested by the Administrative Agent to be executed in connection with opening a Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of holding such Cash Collateral. All Cash Collateral to be provided by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.8(h) shall be in Dollars. Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by Administrative Agent to the reimbursement of Letter of Credit Issuer for any payment made by it of drafts drawn under the outstanding Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other Obligations. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Letter of Credit Liability shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, of Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to this clause (h) shall be returned to the Borrowers. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral and in the Cash Collateral Account as security in respect of the Letter of Credit Liability.
(i)      Lenders’ Obligations . In the event any Letter of Credit Liability is Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.8(h) or otherwise pursuant to this Credit Agreement (including but not limited to the Cash Collateralizing of a Letter of Credit outstanding beyond the Maturity Date), each Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall cease in all respects, the Lenders will no longer be entitled to receive their Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee payable in accordance with Section 2.13 (which shall be payable exclusively to the Letter of Credit Issuer), and the Lenders shall cease to be obligated to fund any drawing under such Letter of Credit in the event the Cash Collateral is for any reason unavailable or insufficient to fully fund such drawing (including, but not limited to, as a result of any preference claim or other clawback under any proceeding pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws).
2.9.      Qualified Borrowers . In consideration of the Lenders’ agreement to advance funds to a Qualified Borrower that has joined the Credit Facility in accordance with Section 6.3 , to cause Letters of Credit to be issued for the account of a Qualified Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8 , and to accept the Borrower Guaranties in support thereof, the Borrowers hereby authorize, empower, and direct the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, within the limits of the

703041399 12410180     42



Available Commitment, to disburse directly to the Lenders, with notice to the Borrowers, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount due and owing under any Qualified Borrower Note or any Qualified Borrower Guaranty, together with all interest, costs and expenses and fees due to the Lenders pursuant thereto, as a Borrowing hereunder, in the event the Administrative Agent shall have not received payment of such Obligations when due. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrowers of any disbursement made to the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof. Any such disbursement made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders shall be deemed to be a Reference Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.3 in the amount so paid, and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have given to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.3 , a Request for Borrowing with respect thereto; and such disbursements shall be made without regard to the minimum and multiple amounts specified in Section 2.4 . The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on the Lenders as to the amount of any such Obligations due to the Lenders, absent manifest error.
2.10.      Use of Proceeds, Letters of Credit and Borrower Guaranties . The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used solely for purposes expressly permitted under the Constituent Documents of each Credit Party. Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to the Borrowers’ use of the proceeds of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or execution and delivery of the Borrower Guaranties, and neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not the Borrowers’ use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit are for purposes permitted under the Constituent Documents of any Credit Party. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any Rollover, any issuance of any Letter of Credit, or acceptance of any Qualified Borrower Guaranty or other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent as to whether any investment by the Borrowers is permitted by the terms of the Constituent Documents of any Credit Party.
2.11.      Fees . The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent fees in consideration of the arrangement, structuring and administration of the Commitments, which fees shall be payable in amounts and on the dates agreed to between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter. The Borrowers will pay to the Administrative Agent such other fees as are payable in the amount and on the date agreed to between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter.
2.12.      Unused Commitment Fee . In addition to the payments provided for in Section 3 , the Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, an unused commitment fee at the rate of 30 basis points (0.30%) per annum on the Commitment of the Lenders which was unused (through the extension of Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit), in either case calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date. For purposes of this Section 2.12 , the fee shall be calculated on a daily basis. The Credit Parties and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the unused commitment fees payable hereunder are bona

703041399 12410180     43



fide unused commitment fees and are intended as reasonable compensation to the Lenders for committing to make funds available to the Borrowers as described herein and for no other purposes.
2.13.      Letter of Credit Fees . The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent: (a) for the benefit of the Lenders, in consideration for the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, a non-refundable fee equal to the Applicable Margin (plus 2% if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) on the daily face amount of each Letter of Credit, less the amount of any draws on such Letter of Credit, payable in monthly installments in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month for the preceding calendar month, commencing on the issuance date and continuing for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Letter of Credit that is outstanding but has been Cash Collateralized); and (b) for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer, all reasonable and customary out of pocket expenses actually incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer related to the issuance, amendment or transfer of Letters of Credit upon demand by the Letter of Credit Issuer.
2.14.      Extension of Maturity Date . The Borrowers shall have an option to extend the Stated Maturity Date then in effect for 364 days, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(a)      the Borrowers shall have paid an extension fee to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the extending Lenders consenting to such extension, equal to 0.125% of the Maximum Commitment elected to be extended by the Borrowers as set out in the applicable Extension Request, payable to each such Lender ratably based on its share of the Commitments subject to extension;
(b)      no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which notice is given in accordance with the following clause (c) or on the initial Stated Maturity Date; and
(c)      the Borrowers shall have delivered an Extension Request with respect to the Stated Maturity Date to the Administrative Agent not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date then in effect (which shall be promptly forwarded by the Administrative Agent to each Lender).
2.15.      Increase in the Maximum Commitment .
(a)      Request for Increase . Provided there exists no Event of Default or Potential Default and no Event of Default or Potential Default would result from such increase in the Lenders’ Commitments, and subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 2.15 , the Borrowers may (no more than three (3) times) increase the Maximum Commitment to an amount requested by the Borrowers not exceeding $300,000,000 by increasing the Commitment of the Lenders. Such increase may be done in one or more requested increases, in $25,000,000 increments (each such increase, shall be referred to herein as a “ Facility Increase ”).

703041399 12410180     44



(b)      Effective Date . The Administrative Agent shall determine the effective date of any Facility Increase (the “ Increase Effective Date ”) and shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the Increase Effective Date.
(c)      Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase . The following are conditions precedent to such increase:
(i)      The Borrowers shall, not later than the third (3 rd ) Business Day prior to the Increase Effective Date, deliver to Administrative Agent a Facility Increase Request and resolutions adopted by the Borrowers approving or consenting to such increase, certified by a Responsible Officer of each Borrower that such resolutions are true and correct copies thereof and are in full force and effect;
(ii)      On or prior to the proposed date of such Facility Increase, the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the Facility Increase Fee.
For the avoidance of doubt, any Facility Increase will be on the same terms as contained herein with respect to the Credit Facility.

In such event, each Borrower shall execute and deliver a Note in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith), payable to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders. Each Borrower agrees, from time to time, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, to reissue a new Note, in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore provided, to the Administrative Agent, in renewal of and substitution for the Note previously issued by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, and such previously issued Note shall be returned to such Borrower marked “replaced”.

When a Borrowing is disbursed by wire transfer pursuant to instructions received from the Borrowers in accordance with the related Request for Borrowing, then such Borrowing shall be considered made at the time of the transmission of the wire, rather than the time of receipt thereof by the receiving bank. With regard to the repayment of the Loans,

703041399 12410180     45



interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such time as the repayment has been received in federal or other immediately available funds by the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s Account described in Section 3.4 , or any other account of the Administrative Agent which the Administrative Agent designates in writing to the Borrowers.
(b)      Interest Payment Dates . Accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations shall be due and payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, (ii) on each other date of any reduction of the Principal Obligation hereunder, with respect to the portion of the Principal Obligation so repaid, and (iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at any time upon demand by Administrative Agent.

703041399 12410180     48



withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)      Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties . Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall, and do hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 4.1(d)(ii) below. The applicable Lender shall indemnify the applicable Borrower, and shall make payment in respect thereof, within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand therefor, for any amount which such Borrower is required to pay to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. (ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand therefor, for (x) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so), (y) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.11 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 4.1(f)(ii)(A) , (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,
(A)
any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested in writing by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(C)
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested in writing by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers or the

703041399 12410180     51



Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)
if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D) , “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Credit Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered becomes inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)      Treatment of Certain Refunds . If any party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.1 ), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the written request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g) , in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

703041399 12410180     52



(h)      Indemnification of the Administrative Agent . Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.11(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h) . The agreements in paragraph (h) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent.
(i)      Survival . Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
4.2.      Illegality . If any Lender reasonably determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans or other Obligations, or materially restricts the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans or the Obligations or to convert Loans accruing interest calculated by reference to LIBOR to be Loans calculated by reference to the Reference Rate (unless the Reference Rate is also calculated off LIBOR in accordance with the definition thereof), shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon the prepayment of any such Loans, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
4.3.      Inability to Determine Rates . If the Administrative Agent determines, for any proposed Interest Period, that: (a) deposits in Dollars are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of any LIBOR Rate Loan; (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR; or (c) LIBOR does not adequately or fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, then: (a) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Lenders and the Borrowers; and (b) while such circumstances exist, none of the Lenders shall allocate any Loans made during such period, or reallocate any Loans allocated to any then-existing Interest Period ending during such period, to

703041399 12410180     53



an Interest Period with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to LIBOR. If, with respect to any outstanding Interest Period, a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it is unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market to fund its purchase or maintenance of such Loans or that LIBOR applicable to such Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to the Person of funding or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, then: (i) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders; and (ii) upon such notice and thereafter while such circumstances exist, the applicable Lender shall not make any LIBOR Rate Loans during such period, or reallocate any Loans allocated to any Interest Period ending during such period, to an Interest Period with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to LIBOR; provided that, (x) if the forgoing notice relates to Loans that are outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, such Loans shall be Converted to Reference Rate Loans only on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, and (y) upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any outstanding Requests for Borrowing.
4.4.      Increased Cost and Capital Adequacy .
(b)      Increased Costs Generally . If any Change in Law shall:
(i)      impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or the Letter of Credit Issuer;
(ii)      subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or
(iii)      impose on any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Credit Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to any such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate

703041399 12410180     54



such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(c)      Capital Requirements . If any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(d)      Certificates for Reimbursement . A certificate of a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrowers, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate (A) promptly upon receipt, to the extent that funds are available in the Collateral Accounts or any other account maintained by any Fund Party; and (B) otherwise, to the extent that it is necessary for the Credit Parties to issue a Capital Call to fund such required payment, within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand (but in any event, each Credit Party shall issue such Capital Calls and shall make such payment after the related Capital Contributions are received).
(e)      Delay in Requests . Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
4.5.      Funding Losses . Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for, and hold such Lender

703041399 12410180     55



harmless from, any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties as a result of (a) any failure or refusal of the Borrowers (for any reasons whatsoever other than a default by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) to take a Loan after the Borrowers shall have requested such Loan under the Credit Agreement, (b) any prepayment or other payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, (c) any other prepayment of a Loan that is otherwise not made in compliance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, or (d) the failure of the Borrowers to make a prepayment of a Loan after giving notice under the Credit Agreement, that such prepayment will be made.
4.6.      Requests for Compensation . If requested by the Borrowers in connection with any demand for payment pursuant to this Section 4 , a Lender shall provide to the Borrowers, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand, the amount required to be paid by the Borrowers to such Lender and the computations made by such Lender to determine such amount, such certificate to be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. Any such amount payable by the Borrowers shall not be duplicative of any amounts (a) previously paid under this Section 4 , or (b) included in the calculation of LIBOR.
4.7.      Survival . Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, all of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 4 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Credit Agreement or any provision hereof. Each Lender shall notify the Borrowers of any event occurring after the termination of this Credit Agreement entitling such Lender to compensation under this Section 4 as promptly as practicable.
Section 5.      SECURITY
5.1.      Liens and Security Interest .
(a)      Capital Commitments and Capital Calls . To secure performance by the Borrowers of the payment and the performance of the Obligations, the Credit Parties, each to the extent of their respective interests therein, shall grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties, a first priority, exclusive, perfected security interest and Lien in and on the Collateral pursuant to the Security Agreements, the related financing statements and the other related documents.

(c)      Resignation of Administrative Agent . (i) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in

703041399 12410180     89



consultation with the Borrowers and subject to the consent of the Borrowers (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such resignation), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “ Resignation Effective Date ”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
a.
If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrowers and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrowers, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “ Removal Effective Date ”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
b.
With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers

703041399 12410180     90



and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 12.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
c.
Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer, (b) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
(d)      Resignation of Other Agents . Any other Agent may, at any time, resign upon written notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the applicable Agent, then the retiring Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrowers, a successor Agent from any of the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and shall assume the duties and obligations of such retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11.9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Credit Agreement.
11.10.      Reliance by the Borrowers . The Borrowers shall be entitled to rely upon, and to act or refrain from acting on the basis of, any notice, statement, certificate, waiver or other document or instrument delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, so long as the Administrative Agent is purporting to act in its respective capacity as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement, and the Borrowers shall not be responsible or liable to any Lender (or to any Participant or to any Assignee), or as a result of any action or failure to act (including actions or omissions which would otherwise constitute defaults hereunder) which is based upon such reliance upon Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall be entitled to treat the Administrative Agent as the properly authorized Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement until the Borrowers shall have received notice of resignation, and the Borrowers shall not be obligated to recognize any successor Administrative Agent until the Borrowers shall have received written notification satisfactory to it of the appointment of such successor.

703041399 12410180     91



11.11.      Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim . In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Liability shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)      to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Liability and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)      to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Party, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent hereunder.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Secured Party or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding.
Section 12.      MISCELLANEOUS

Any amendment, waiver or consent not specifically addressed in this Section 12.1 or otherwise shall be subject to the approval of Required Lenders.
Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above: (1) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans or the Letters of Credit, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; (2) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; and (3) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, agree to the modification or waiver of any of the other terms of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any action or failure to act by any Credit Party, if such modification, waiver, or consent is of an administrative nature.

12.2.      Sharing of Offsets . If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Article IV or Section 12.5 ) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of obligations owing them; provided that:
(i)
if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii)
the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Sections 2.8(h) and 4.9 or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

703041399 12410180     94



Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation.
12.3.      Sharing of Collateral . To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Lender and the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, agrees that if it shall, through the receipt of any proceeds from a Capital Call or the exercise of any remedies under any Collateral Documents, receive or be entitled to receive payment of a portion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due to it under this Credit Agreement which constitutes a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees then due to such Lender under this Credit Agreement than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due with respect to any Obligations to such Lender under this Credit Agreement, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, as the case may be, shall purchase participations in the Obligations under this Credit Agreement held by such other Lenders so that all such recoveries of principal, interest and fees with respect to this Credit Agreement, the Notes and the Obligations thereunder held by the Lenders shall be pro rata according to each Lender’s Commitment (determined as of the date hereof and regardless of any change in any Lender’s Commitment caused by such Lender’s receipt of a proportionately greater or lesser payment hereunder). Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to coordinate and implement the sharing of collateral contemplated by this Section 12.3 prior to the distribution of proceeds from Capital Calls or proceeds from the exercise of remedies under the Collateral Documents prior to making any distributions of such proceeds to each Lender or the Administrative Agent, in their respective capacity as the Lenders.
12.4.      Waiver . No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand. Subject to the terms of this Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 12.1 ), the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of all Lenders, and the Credit Parties may from time to time enter into agreements amending or changing any provision of this Credit Agreement or the rights of the Lenders or the Credit Parties hereunder, or may grant waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder, any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent of the Administrative Agent being effective to bind all the Lenders, except as provided in Section 12.1 . A waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.

703041399 12410180     102

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.
(c)      Register . The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)      Participations . Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations

703041399 12410180     103



under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 12.5(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver or modification described in Section 12.1 that directly affects such Participant and could not be affected by a vote of the Required Lenders. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article IV (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements of Section 4.1(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.1(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.1 and 4.4 , with respect to such participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.8(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.3 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender.
(e)      Participant Register . Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “ Participant Register ”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(f)      Certain Pledges . Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve

Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g)      Addition of Lenders . With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, at the request of the Borrowers, a new lender may join the Credit Facility as a Lender and such new Lender shall assume all rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that:
(i)      The Commitment of the new Lender shall be in addition to the Commitment of the existing Lenders in effect on the date of such new Lender’s entry into the Credit Facility and the Maximum Commitment shall be increased in a corresponding amount;
(ii)      the Commitment of the new Lender shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, or such lesser amount agreed to by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent;
(iii)      if any new Lender is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 4.1(f) ; and
(iv)      the Borrowers shall execute such new Notes as the Administrative Agent or any Lender may request, and the new Lender shall deliver payment of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent, which amount the Administrative Agent may waive in its sole discretion.

12.12.      All Powers Coupled with Interest . All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated.

Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Obligations shall not be recourse to the Borrower Managing Member or the Guarantor General Partner and the Lenders shall not have the right to pursue any claim or action against the Borrower Managing Member or the Guarantor General Partner except for any claim or action for actual damages of the Agents or Lenders as a result of any fraud, willful misrepresentation or willful misappropriation of proceeds from the Credit Facility on the part of the Borrower Managing Member or the Guarantor General Partner, as applicable, in which event there shall be full recourse against such Person.

703041399 12410180     107



this Credit Agreement, without the Lenders’ and Administrative Agent’s prior written consent. The Guarantor further guarantees that the representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Credit Agreement, the Borrower and Managing Member Security Agreement and all other documents executed and delivered by the Borrowers to the Lenders and/or Administrative Agent in connection with the Credit Agreement are true as of the date hereof, and, in the event proceeds of this Credit Agreement are advanced, or other credit is extended, to the Borrowers from time to time, that each request for any loan or other extension of credit under this Credit Agreement, by whomsoever made, shall constitute the Guarantor’s personal affirmation that at the time thereof said representations and warranties by the Borrowers, together with those representations and warranties made by the Guarantor in this Section 13 , are true and correct. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and that the agreements, guaranties and waivers made by the Guarantor herein, and the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, are and shall at all times continue to be primary, absolute and unconditional.

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by any Secured Party without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Notes or any other of the Loan Documents or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Obligations or otherwise and the Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Lenders to make demand on or proceed against any Borrower Party or any other Person (including a co-guarantor) or to require the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Lenders to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right.

Neither the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Credit Party or by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency or analogous procedure of any Credit Party. The Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension accrual or increase of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party on this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty. The Obligations, and any part of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed,

703041399 12410180     108

13.5.      Reinstatement . Notwithstanding anything contained in this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 13 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy, reorganization, any analogous procedure or otherwise, and the Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of outside counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration,

703041399 12410180     110



including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
13.6.      Remedies . The Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Obligation from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Obligation being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Obligation (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that its obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Secured Parties may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.
13.7.      Subrogation . The Guarantor agrees that, until the indefeasible payment of the Obligations in full in cash, it will not exercise any right of reimbursement, subrogation, indemnification, contribution, offset, remedy (direct or indirect) or other claims against any other Credit Party arising by contract or operation of law or equity in connection with any payment made or required to be made by the Guarantor under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents now or hereafter. The Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification the Guarantor may have against any other Credit Party or against any Collateral or other collateral or security, and any rights of contribution the Guarantor may have against any other Credit Party, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent may have against such Credit Party and to all right, title and interest the Administrative Agent may have in any such other collateral.
13.8.      Inducement . The Lenders have been induced to make the Loans to the Borrowers in part based upon the assurances by the Guarantor that the Guarantor desires that the Obligations of the Guarantor under the Loan Documents be honored and enforced as separate obligations of the Guarantor, should Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.
13.9.      Combined Liability . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor shall be liable to the Lenders for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities, including, without limitation, the Guaranty Obligation, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Guaranty Obligation against the Guarantor.
13.10.      Borrower Information .

The Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrowers on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrowers and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, and the Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrowers and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the

703041399 12410180     111

C-1-4
703287387 12410180



(i)      To sell the Collateral or any part thereof, upon giving at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to the Pledgors of the time and place of sale (which notice each Pledgor and the Administrative Agent agree is commercially reasonable), for cash or upon credit or for future delivery; the Pledgors hereby waive all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations, and at the option and in the complete discretion of the Administrative Agent, either:
(A)      at public sale; or
(B)      at private sale, in which event such notice shall also contain the terms of the proposed sale, and the Pledgors shall have until the time of such proposed sale in which to redeem the Collateral or to procure a purchaser willing, ready and able to purchase the Collateral on terms more favorable to the Pledgors, the Secured Parties and the holders of the Notes, and if such a purchaser is so procured, then the Administrative Agent shall sell the Collateral to the purchaser so procured; and
(ii)      To bid for and to acquire, unless prohibited by applicable law, free from any redemption right, the Collateral, or any part thereof, and, if the Secured Parties are then the holders of the Obligations or any participation or other interest therein, in lieu of paying cash therefor, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties may make settlement for the selling price by crediting the net selling price, if any, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind, upon the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations, in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, in its discretion, may deem advisable. The Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, upon so acquiring the Collateral, or any part thereof, shall be entitled to hold or otherwise deal with or dispose of the same in any manner not prohibited by applicable law.
(b)      From time to time the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, postpone the time and change the place of any proposed sale of any of the Collateral for which notice has been given as provided above if, in the judgment of Administrative Agent, such postponement or change is necessary or appropriate in order that the provisions of this Security Agreement applicable to such sale may be fulfilled or in order to obtain more favorable conditions under which such sale may take place. The Administrative Agent shall give the Pledgors reasonable notice of such change.
(c)      In case of any sale by the Administrative Agent of any of the Collateral on credit, which may be elected at the option and in the complete discretion of Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but neither Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall incur any liability in case of failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold. In case of any such failure, such Collateral so sold may be again similarly sold. After deducting all costs or expenses of every kind (including, without limitation, the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties), the

C-1-5
703287387 12410180



Administrative Agent shall apply the residue of the proceeds of any sale or sales, if any, to pay the principal of and interest upon the Obligations in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Credit Agreement. The excess, if any, shall be paid to Pledgors, as applicable, or as otherwise required by applicable law. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral at any private sale or sales.
(d)      All recitals in any instrument of assignment or any other instrument executed by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties or by the Lenders incident to the sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition or utilization of the Collateral or any part thereof hereunder shall be full proof of the matters stated therein and no other proof shall be required to establish full legal propriety of the sale or other action taken by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties or by the Lenders or of any fact, condition or thing incident thereto, and all prerequisites of such sale or other action shall be presumed conclusively to have been performed or to have occurred.
11.    Notwithstanding a foreclosure upon any of the Collateral or exercise of any other remedy by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties upon the occurrence of an Event of Default: (i) no Pledgor shall be subrogated thereby to any rights of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or any Pledgor, or any property of any Pledgor; (ii) nor shall any Pledgor be deemed to be the owner of any interest in the Obligations; and (iii) nor shall any Pledgor exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Pledgor or the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or any of them or the property of any Pledgor until the Obligations has been paid to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and is fully performed and discharged.
12.    The Borrower Managing Member and the Borrower hereby agrees to the subordination of Other Claims in accordance with Section 5.4 of the Credit Agreement.
13.    Subject to Section 12.5 of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall have all rights, remedies and recourse granted in the Notes, the Loan Documents and any other instruments executed to provide security for or in connection with the payment and performance of the Obligations or existing at common law or equity (including those granted by the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in the State of New York and any other state which governs the creation or perfection (and the effect thereof) of any security interest in the Collateral, and the right of offset), and such rights and remedies: (i) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (ii) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against any or all Pledgors and any other party obligated under the Obligations, or against the Collateral, or any of such Collateral, or any other security for the Obligations, or any of them, at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties; (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by the Pledgors that the exercise or failure to exercise any of the same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse; and (iv) are intended to be and shall be, non‑exclusive.
14.    No delay or omission on the part of Administrative Agent or Secured Parties in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such right or any other right. A waiver on any

C-1-6
703287387 12410180



one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.
15.    Regardless of any provision hereof, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, or both, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be liable for the failure of the Administrative Agent to collect or exercise diligence in the collection, possession or any transaction concerning, all or part of the Capital Calls or the Uncalled Capital Commitment or sums due or paid thereon or any remedies related to the enforcement thereof nor shall they be under any obligation whatsoever to anyone by virtue of the security interests and Liens relating to the Capital Commitment. Further, neither Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be responsible in any way for any depreciation in the value of the Collateral nor have any duty or responsibility whatsoever to take any steps to preserve any rights of any Pledgor in the Collateral or under the LLC Documents.
16.    Neither Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties has assumed, and nothing contained herein shall be declared to have imposed upon Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, any of the Borrower’s duties or Obligations or the Borrower Managing Member’s duties or Obligations as a partner of the Borrower except that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall be bound by the provisions of the LLC Agreement in exercising rights or remedies thereunder assigned to the Administrative Agent hereunder.
17.    Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be given in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement (with notices, demands, requests or other communications to the Borrower Managing Member being sent to the same address as the Borrower).
18.    Reference is hereby made to Section 11.9 of the Credit Agreement for the terms and conditions upon which a successor Administrative Agent hereunder may be appointed. Wherever the words “ Administrative Agent ” are used herein, the same shall mean the Administrative Agent named in the first paragraph of this Security Agreement or the successor Administrative Agent at the time in question.

20.    The headings to the various paragraphs of this Security Agreement shall have been inserted for convenient reference only and shall not modify, define, limit or expand the expressed provisions of this Security Agreement. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
21.    This Security Agreement and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement or

C-1-7
703287387 12410180



any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
22.    Any suit, action or proceeding against any party hereto with respect to this Security Agreement or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof, may be brought in the courts of the State of New York, or in the United States Courts located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, pursuant to Section 5‑1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, as Administrative Agent and Secured Parties in their sole discretion may elect and each party hereto hereby submits to the non‑exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action or proceeding.

13.    No delay or omission on the part of Administrative Agent or Secured Parties in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such right or any other right.

declare the Obligations immediately due and payable;

13.
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to apply any and all funds received by it hereunder toward payment and performance of the Obligations in such order and manner as Administrative Agent, in its absolute discretion, may elect.

remedies.

15.
Should any part of the Obligations be payable in installments, the acceptance by Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time of part payment of the aggregate amount of all installments then matured shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the default then existing. No waiver by the Secured Parties of any default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent default, nor shall any such waiver by the Secured Parties be deemed to be a continuing waiver. No delay or omission by the Secured Parties in exercising any right or power hereunder, or under any other writings executed by Assignor as security for or in connection with the Obligations, shall impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or power of the Secured Parties hereunder or under such other writings.
16.
No provision herein or in any promissory note, instrument, or any other loan document evidencing the Obligations shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by law. If any excess of interest in such respect is provided for herein or in any such promissory note, instrument, or any other loan document, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern, and the Assignor shall not be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the amount permitted by law. The intention of the parties being to conform strictly to the usury laws now in force, all promissory notes, instruments, and other loan documents evidencing the Obligations shall be held subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction.
17.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
18.
(a) PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION GOVERN THE CREATION, PERFECTION, VALIDITY, OR ENFORCEMENT OF LIENS UNDER THIS ASSIGNMENT, AND THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SHALL GOVERN THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS ASSIGNMENT.

The Depository may rely upon and shall be fully protected, indemnified and held harmless in acting or refraining from acting upon any notice (including, without limitation, electronically confirmed facsimiles of such notice) received from the Assignee or the Assignor (including, without limitation, any notice of an Event of Default or Cash Control Event as defined in the Assignment or the Credit Agreement referred to in the Assignment) and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

5.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Borrower Guaranty, until the Guaranteed Debt has been paid in full, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives all rights it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Guarantor to the rights of the Creditor) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from the Qualified Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any obligations of the Qualified Borrower to the Creditor, for any disbursement made by the Guarantor under or in connection with this Borrower Guaranty or otherwise.

In addition, we hereby acknowledge and confirm to Administrative Agent, Lenders, Managing Member and Pledgor that we will make Capital Contributions to the extent of our Unfunded Capital Commitment, to be applied to the repayment of outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement, whether such Capital Contributions are called by Managing Member, Pledgor or Administrative Agent for such purpose on behalf of Managing Member and Pledgor (whether or not any Person is then acting as Managing Member for Borrower or Manager for Pledgor) without, defense, counterclaim or offset of any kind, including without limitation any defense under Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, all of which we hereby waive. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Stockholders Agreement or Operating Agreement, we hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) our obligation to fund our Unfunded Capital Commitment as and when requested by Administrative Agent is unconditional and (ii) Administrative Agent shall not be required to state any specific purpose or use of funds, deliver any supporting documentation whatsoever or comply with any formalities when making a Drawdown on our Unfunded Capital Commitment, except that such Drawdown must be made in writing.

constitute a default under the Operating Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement, (B) the Stockholders Agreement, our Subscription Agreement and this Investor Consent is in full force and effect and enforceable against us in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity, (C) we have the power and authority required to execute and deliver the Stockholders Agreement, our Subscription Agreement and this Investor Consent, and to perform our obligations thereunder and hereunder, and (D) we do not have any right of offset against, or reduction to, our obligation to fund our Unfunded Capital Commitment, (iii) acknowledge that for so long as the Credit Facility is in place, (A) we will not amend, modify, supplement, cancel, terminate, reduce or suspend any of the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, our Subscription Agreement or the Operating Agreement relating to the Capital Commitments, the making of Capital Contributions or the incurrence of indebtedness or any other provisions that would adversely affect the rights of Administrative Agent or Lenders without your prior written consent, (B) a transfer of our interest in the Pledgor will require notice to you, and (C) that any claims that we may have against the Pledgor, the Managing Member or any other stockholder shall be subordinate to all payments due to you under the Credit Facility, and (iv) acknowledge that until otherwise instructed by Administrative Agent in writing, all future Capital Contributions made by us under the Stockholders Agreement and our Subscription Agreement will be made by wire transfer to the following account opened and maintained by Borrower with the Administrative Agent (the “ Collateral Account ”) which Borrower has also pledged as security for the Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement):

We hereby acknowledge that for so long as the Credit Agreement is in effect, we are obligated, under the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement and our Subscription Agreement, to honor any Drawdown Notice delivered to us in the name of the Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders, without setoff, counterclaim or defense by funding the applicable portion of our Capital Commitment into the Collateral Account, provided such Drawdown Notice is delivered for the purpose of paying due and payable obligations of the Borrower to Lenders under the Credit Facility and states on its face that it is delivered for such purpose.
We understand that Lenders and Administrative Agent will be relying upon the statements and agreements made herein in connection with making the Credit Facility available to Borrower and, accordingly hereby acknowledge that Capital Contributions we make under the Stockholders Agreement and our Subscription Agreement will not satisfy our obligation to fund our Capital Commitment unless such Capital Contributions are paid into the above account (unless we are otherwise instructed by Administrative Agent as described above).

The undersigned irrevocably (a) agrees that any suit action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this letter may be brought in the courts of the United States of America located in the Southern District of New York or in the state courts of the State and County of New York, (b) consents to the jurisdiction of each such court in any such suit, action or proceeding, (c) waives any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any of such courts and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (d) consents to the service of any and all process in any such suit, action or proceeding by the service of copies or such process to the undersigned at the address provided on the signature page hereto, as the same may be changed by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time.
For governmental entity Investors:
[We represent and warrant that: (i) we are subject to commercial law with respect to our obligations under the Stockholders Agreement and this Investor Consent; (ii) the making and performance of the Stockholders Agreement and this Investor Consent constitute private and commercial acts rather than governmental or public acts, and that neither we nor any of our properties or revenues has any right of immunity from suit, court jurisdiction, execution of a judgment or from any other legal process with respect to our obligations under the Stockholders Agreement and this Investor Consent.

In the event that any one or more of the foregoing conditions shall not have been satisfied prior to Closing, then Purchaser shall execute and deliver to Sellers written notice of such material breach or failure, which notice shall set forth reasonably detailed information about the nature of the material breach or failure. Sellers shall have a period of ten (10) business days to cure such material breach or failure and the Closing Date shall be so extended.

LEGAL_US_E # 101661756.3

        

Section 9.7:      New York Transfer and Recordation Taxes .

(b)      Sellers and Purchaser shall each execute and/or swear to the returns or statements required in connection with the State Transfer Tax and the City Transfer Tax, and any other taxes referred to in this Section or otherwise applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall deliver same, together with the payment thereof which is required of Sellers, to the Title Agent on the Closing Date. All such tax payments shall be made by certified or bank check payable directly to the order of the appropriate governmental officer, or in such other manner as the Title Agent shall reasonably require and accept.
(c)      The Properties are currently encumbered by mortgages in favor of Bank of America, N.A. or PNC Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “ Existing Mortgage ”). Sellers shall reasonably cooperate and assist Purchaser in arranging for an assignment of the Existing Mortgage to Purchaser’s designee, without representation, warranty or recourse by or to Sellers, provided, that (i) such cooperation by Sellers shall be without charge or cost to Sellers, (ii) all costs related to the assignment of the Existing Mortgage, in lieu of a satisfaction of such Existing Mortgage (including, without limitation, all legal fees incurred by the holder of the Existing Mortgage), as distinguished from the amount required to pay the principal, interest, and any prepayment charges due to the holder of such Existing Mortgage in connection with such assignment, shall be Purchaser’s obligation to pay, (iii) such assignment shall not delay the Closing Date, and (iv) any net benefit to Purchaser in mortgage recording tax savings will be split at Closing equally between Purchaser and Sellers.

Sellers shall not be responsible, in any manner whatsoever, for any failure of any holder of the Existing Mortgage to deliver an assignment of the Existing Mortgage. Purchaser acknowledges that Sellers make no representation of its ability to deliver an assignment from the holder of the Existing Mortgage encumbering the Property. If the holder of the Existing Mortgage does not assign the Existing Mortgage to Purchaser’s designee at Closing, then Sellers shall be obligated, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to obtain a satisfaction of the Existing Mortgage at the Closing (and Sellers may use or instruct the Title Agent to use any cash portion of the Contract Price for the Property to satisfy the Existing Mortgage). If the holder of the Existing Mortgage does assign the Existing Mortgage to Purchaser’s designee at Closing, Sellers shall use or instruct the Title Agent to use a portion of the Contract Price to pay the holder of the Existing Mortgage the

27| P a g e
LEGAL_US_E # 101661756.3

        

principal, interest, and any prepayment charges due to such holder in connection with such assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing (or anything herein to the contrary), in no event shall the Closing be contingent upon the assignment of the Existing Mortgage or any financing of the purchase of the Property by Purchaser.
Section 9.8:      Intentionally Omitted .
Section 9.9:      Prorations .
(a)      Sellers and Purchaser shall prorate between them on the Closing Date as of 11:59 P.M. on the Proration Date, on a calendar year basis, all income and expense related to the normal operation, maintenance and repair of the Properties, subject to the clarifications and exceptions described below. For purposes of calculating prorations, Purchaser shall be deemed to be in title to the Properties, and therefore entitled to the income and responsible for all expenses on and after the Closing Date, as follows:
(i)
Real property and personal property taxes upon the Properties for the current calendar or fiscal year; Sellers’ pro rata portion of such taxes shall be based upon taxes actually assessed for the current calendar or fiscal year. If, for any reason, such taxes for the current calendar year have not been assessed on the Property, such proration shall be estimated based upon such taxes for the immediately preceding calendar or fiscal year, and thereafter adjusted when actual amounts become available;
(ii)
Amounts paid or payable under the Service Agreements and similar agreements affecting the Property which are assumed by Purchaser, including the Renovation Agreements;
(iii)
Rents, not in arrears, and any prepaid rent under all Leases existing at Closing, subject to Section 9.9(g) below; and
(iv)
Any and all other customary expense and income items relative to the Property.
(b)      Purchaser shall be credited at Closing with an amount equal to the security deposits, if any, actually received by Sellers in connection with the Leases, or Sellers shall turn such security deposits over to Purchaser at Closing.
(c)      All charges for electric and gas service supplied to the Property prior to the Closing Date shall be the obligation of Sellers, and Sellers agree to pay the invoices rendered in connection with such services promptly upon receipt thereof, whether such receipt is before or after the Closing.
(d)      Real estate tax refunds and credits received after the Closing Date pursuant to Pending Tax Appeals which are attributable to the fiscal year during which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned between Sellers and Purchaser, after deducting reasonable expenses of collection thereof.
(e)      Any errors or omissions in computing apportionments at the Closing shall be corrected as soon after discovery as possible. The provisions of this Section 9.9 shall survive the Closing for a period of three (3) months, except such period shall be extended, as necessary, to the extent any

28| P a g e
LEGAL_US_E # 101661756.3

        

Pending Tax Appeals have not then been resolved for the year in which the Closing occurs, until thirty (30) days after such tax appeals have been so resolved (the “ True-Up Period ”) and thereafter Sellers shall have no liability to Purchaser on account thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Sellers Liability Cap (hereinafter defined) apply to errors or omissions to be corrected pursuant to the express terms and conditions of this Section 9.9 during the True-Up Period.
(f)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein with respect to any unpaid and delinquent rents (i.e, not prorated pursuant to subparagraph (iii) above), Sellers shall receive a credit at Closing for 100% of all delinquent receivables for rents owed within 30 days of Closing. No credit shall be given to Sellers for any rents owed over 30 days for any Property which amounts shall entirely belong to purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, in order to illustrate how Sellers and Purchaser intend the provisions of this Section 9.9(f) and Section 9.9(a)(iii) to function, attached as Schedule 9.9(f) are three (3) examples of such prorations.
(g)    Purchaser shall be credited at Closing with an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of all sales tax owed from the transfer to Purchaser of the Vehicle Property; the entire amount of such sales tax, however, shall be payable by Purchaser directly to the appropriate Governmental Agency consistent with Section 9.6(c) hereof.

(h)    Seller shall be credited at Closing with an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the value of all the Vehicle Property as calculated in Schedule 3.1 herein.

Section 9.10:      Holdback for Repositioning Properties . At Closing, Purchaser shall withhold from the Contract Price a sum (as calculated by Purchaser and subject to Sellers’ reasonable approval) equal to 110% of the costs to complete the construction of improvements at the Repositioning Properties after the Closing (the “ Construction Holdback ”), in accordance with the Renovation Agreements, the construction budgets attached as Exhibit H hereto, and the plans and specifications attached as Exhibit I hereto. Following closing, Purchaser shall diligently and in good faith continue to pursue the Construction of Improvements on the Repositioning Properties, in accordance with the Renovation Agreements, the construction budgets attached as Exhibit H hereto, and the plans and specifications attached as Exhibit I hereto. No later than the earlier to occur of (i) three (3) months after the Closing Date or (ii) thirty (30) days following completion of such construction at all Repositioning Properties by Purchaser, Purchaser shall make a cash payment to Sellers equal to the excess, if any, of the Construction Holdback over the amounts expended by Purchaser with regard to such construction, together with such detail, as reasonably requested by Sellers, justifying such refund calculation. Following Closing, Purchaser shall not deviate, in any material respect, from the construction budgets, attached as Exhibit H hereto, the plans and specifications, shop drawings, schematics, attached as Exhibit I hereto, or the Renovation Agreements, without the prior written consent of the Sellers. Purchaser releases Sellers from and against all claims, costs and expenses relating to the Renovation Agreement or accruing from and after the Closing Date and shall indemnify Sellers with respect to any such claims, costs and expenses.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sellers shall have the right to negotiate with the Director regarding the Tax Claim and the Deficiency; provided, however, that: (a) Purchaser shall be entitled to comply with all of the instructions of the Director in establishing and funding the Tax Escrow at Closing; (b) Closing shall not be delayed as a result hereof; and (c) Purchaser shall not be liable for any amount in excess of the Tax Escrow.
(c)      Disposition . If, after Closing, the Director or Sellers request that the Title Agent pay all or any portion of the Deficiency on behalf of Sellers, then Purchaser shall direct the Title Agent to, and the Title Agent shall, promptly pay to the Director the amount so specified.

Sellers shall retain the right of contest so long as Purchaser is not made secondarily liable for such tax.
(d)      Indemnity .

The indemnification provision in this clause (d) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or Closing under this Agreement.
Section 9.12:      1031 Exchange . Sellers or Purchaser, or both of them, may close this transaction as part of a like-kind exchange of properties under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable rules and regulations, provided that the applicable party gives notice of its intent to exercise such right at least fifteen (15) days

The other party shall cooperate with the exchanging party and do all things reasonably required and requested by the exchanging party (provided that such actions do not increase the other party’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement) to effect and facilitate such an exchange. The exchanging party shall and does hereby indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless for, from and against all liabilities arising as a result of the exchange that would not have arisen had the exchanging party not closed this transaction as part of a like-kind exchange.

Section 9.13:      Tax Certiorari Proceedings .
(a)      If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Properties relating to any fiscal year ending prior to or in the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs are pending at the time of the Closing, Sellers reserve and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same, provided, however, that Sellers shall not settle any such proceeding in the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Purchaser shall be entitled to that portion of any refund relating to the period from and after the Closing in accordance with Section 9.9(d) .  Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers in connection with the prosecution of any such tax reduction proceedings.  Purchaser shall have the sole right to prosecute any tax proceedings in respect of the Properties relating to any fiscal year ending after the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs.  Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection with the prosecution of any such tax proceedings.
(b)      Any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from such tax reduction proceedings applicable to the period prior to the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Sellers, and any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes applicable to the period from and after the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Purchaser.  All reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between Sellers and Purchaser in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to Sellers and Purchaser, respectively.
(c)      The provisions of this Section 9.13 shall survive the Closing.

ARTICLE 10:      DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

31| P a g e
LEGAL_US_E # 101661756.3

        

Section 10.1:      Specific Performance . In lieu of Purchaser’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.3 above and to receive the Earnest Money from Sellers, in the event, despite any such material breach or failure by Sellers described in Section 9.3 herein which is not timely cured by Sellers in accordance thereunder, Sellers are not ready, willing and able to close the sale contemplated hereunder, so long as Purchaser is ready, willing and able to purchase the Properties from Sellers, and Purchaser is not itself in default of this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right, to be exercised by written notice of same to be delivered to Sellers not later than ten (10) business days after the then scheduled Closing Date, and after expiry of all time periods accorded Sellers to cure such default in accordance hereunder, time being of the essence, to pursue specific performance on account of Sellers’ failure to sell the Properties to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, any action or proceeding seeking specific performance must be duly commenced within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, as such Closing Date may have been extended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Purchaser agrees that in no event shall Purchaser be entitled to, seek or obtain any other damages of any kind, including, without limitation, consequential, indirect or punitive damages; provided, however, if the Sellers have made the remedy of specific performance unavailable as a result of Sellers’ voluntary encumbrance of the Property or conveyance of the Property to a third party on or prior to the scheduled Closing Date, and Purchaser is not in default and is otherwise prepared to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Purchaser shall have such additional remedies available at law or in equity.
Section 10.2:      Purchaser’s Default; Damages .
(g)      Purchaser’s Default . In the event that sale of the Properties hereunder are not consummated by reason of Purchaser’s material breach or other material failure to perform all obligations and conditions to be performed by Purchaser under this Agreement, Sellers shall have the right to retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages for the material breach of this Agreement as Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy, such sum to be retained by Sellers being a reasonable estimate of the amount of damages that both Sellers and Purchaser agree that Sellers would sustain by reason of any default by Purchaser, as the amount of actual damages sustained by Sellers would be difficult or impractical to determine.
(h)      No Contesting Liquidated Damages . As material consideration to each party’s agreement to the liquidated damages provisions stated above, each party hereby agrees to waive any and all rights whatsoever to contest the validity of the liquidated damage provisions for any reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to, that such provision was unreasonable under circumstances existing at the time this Agreement was made.
Section 10.3:      Post-Closing Remedies .
(z)      If after the Closing Purchaser fails to perform its obligations which expressly survive the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, then Sellers may exercise any remedies available to it at law or in equity, in any order it deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion, including but not limited to seeking specific performance or damages. In such event, the liquidated damages provisions contained in Section 9.1 shall not limit Sellers’ damages.

32| P a g e
LEGAL_US_E # 101661756.3

        

(aa)      If after the Closing Sellers fail to perform their obligations with respect to delivering any monies owed Purchaser pursuant to the true-up provisions contained in Section 9.9(f) and Section 9.13 , then Purchaser may seek to obtain such monetary damages equal to the amount claimed owed to Purchaser and no other remedy shall be afforded Purchaser.
Section 10.4:      Limitation on Sellers’ Liability . Prior to Closing, Purchaser agrees that its sole and exclusive remedies against Sellers and the Sellers Related Parties under this Agreement, the Deeds, the Bills of Sale, the Assignments of Leases and Contracts or other agreements delivered by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “ Agreements ”) are limited to either (a) the return of the Earnest Money, or (b) specific performance, as more fully set forth in this Article 10 . Following Closing, Purchaser agrees that Sellers’ total liability for damages hereunder or under any of the Closing Documents shall not exceed the aggregate sum of $5,000,000 (the “ Sellers Liability Cap ”); provided, however, that under no circumstances shall Sellers have any liability to Purchaser with respect thereto unless and until the damages suffered by Purchaser shall exceed the aggregate sum of $50,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser has elected the Pelham Termination Right and/or the Pelham Adjournment Right, on the one hand, or the Ozone Park Termination Right and/or the Ozone Park Adjournment Right, on the other hand, as applicable, under Article 15 hereof, then the Sellers Liability Cap shall be proportionately reduced (i.e., in relation to the percentage each such Property bears to the entire Purchase Price) until such time, as applicable, if the Closing of such Property actually occurs, when it would be proportionately increased. Further, Purchaser agrees that in no event shall Purchaser (i) be entitled to, seek or obtain any other damages of any kind, including, without limitation, consequential, indirect or punitive damages or (ii) seek or obtain any recovery or judgment against any of Sellers’ other assets (if any) or against any of the Sellers Related Parties. In addition to the foregoing, Purchaser agrees that it shall not be permitted to file any claim or pursue any cause of action arising from any express obligations of Sellers under this Agreement or the Closing Documents unless such claim or cause of action is filed not later than six (6) months after the Closing Date. The terms and conditions of this Section 10.4 shall survive the Closing. “Sellers Related Parties” shall mean Acadia and any affiliate of Acadia.
Section 10.5:      Sellers’ Pre-Closing Default . In the event that sale of the Properties hereunder is not consummated by reason of a material breach by any Seller of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any material breach or other material failure by any Seller to perform all obligations and conditions to be performed by the Sellers under this Agreement, subject to Sections 6.4 herein and Sellers’ cure rights in Section 9.3, Purchaser may, at its option, either (i) waive Sellers’ default and proceed to Closing; or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Sellers and recover its actual, out-of-pocket third-party costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection with execution and delivery of and performance under this Agreement and preparation for Closing up to an aggregate amount of no greater than $500,000 (such amount, the “ Pre-Closing Expenses Cap ”) or (iii) enforce specific performance of this Agreement so long as the requirements for specific performance are met pursuant to Section 10.1 . If this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to any right of termination given to Purchaser herein, the Earnest Money shall promptly be refunded to Purchaser.

33| P a g e
LEGAL_US_E # 101661756.3

        

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser has elected the Pelham Adjournment Right, on the one hand, and/or the Ozone Park Adjournment Right, on the other hand, as applicable, under Article 15 hereof, then the Pre-Closing Expenses Cap shall be proportionately reduced (i.e., in relation to the percentage each such Property’s Allocated Contract Price bears to the Pre-Closing Expenses Cap). In the event that the Purchaser, however, elects, as applicable, the Pelham Termination Right and/or the Ozone Park Termination Right after the Closing of the Properties other than the Pelham Property and/or the Ozone Park Property, as applicable, then the Purchaser’s Pre-Closing Expenses Cap for such Property, at such time, shall equal the percentage each such Property’s Allocated Contract Price bears to the Pre-Closing Expenses Cap.
Section 10.6:      Environmental Matters . Purchaser acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to conduct its own investigation of the Properties with regard to Hazardous Materials and compliance of the Properties with Environmental Laws. Purchaser is aware (or has had sufficient opportunity to become aware) of the environmental, biological and pathogenic conditions of, affecting or related to the Properties and Purchaser agrees to take the Properties subject to such conditions. Purchaser hereby releases Sellers, their principals and affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, members, managers, partners, agents, employees, successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims, counterclaims and causes of action which Purchaser may now or in the future have against any of the foregoing parties arising out of the existence of Hazardous Materials affecting the Properties, except to the extent set forth in any representation contained in Section 6.1(f). The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE 11:      CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY
Section 11.1:      Condemnation .
(i)      If prior to the Closing, all or any material portion of any Property is condemned or conveyed in anticipation or lieu of such condemnation or is taken under the right of eminent domain, or condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are threatened or commenced against any Property or any part of any Property, then Sellers shall give prompt written notice thereof to Purchaser, and Purchaser may, at its option, by delivering written notice to each Seller within fifteen (15) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the condemnation notice from Sellers, either (i) terminate this Agreement as to the affected Properties, and the Contract Price will be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Contract Price of the affected Properties or (ii) terminate this Agreement in its entirety, whereupon the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned by the Title Agent to Purchaser, and neither Purchaser nor any Seller shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder. For purposes of this provision, a “material portion” of any Property shall mean (i) more than five percent (5%) of the Land is (or will be) taken or condemned; (ii) the Improvements must be materially reconfigured as a result of such taking; (iii) the taking or condemnation materially interferes with the present use and operation of any of the Improvements or the operation of the business at the applicable Property; (iv) the taking causes a material reduction in the size of any of the Improvements; (v) the elimination of the sole or any required or material means of legal ingress and/or egress from the applicable Property to public roads, with no comparable, convenient legal substitute ingress and/or egress

34| P a g e
LEGAL_US_E # 101661756.3

        

being available; or (vi) a portion of the available parking area for the Property is (or will be) permanently reduced or restricted by the taking or condemnation so as to materially impair the utility of such property or so as to constitute a violation of the applicable zoning ordinance.
(j)      Failure of Purchaser to deliver written notice of termination, either as to the affected Properties or as to all Properties, within the fifteen (15) day period set forth in clause (a) above shall be conclusively deemed to constitute a waiver of such election to terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part. In the event that Purchaser elects or is deemed to have elected to waive its termination right under this Section 11.1 , then the parties shall proceed to Closing without reduction in the Contract Price, and Sellers shall assign to Purchaser (or pay to Purchaser if such proceeds have been collected) any and all claims and awards arising out of such taking or condemnation.
Section 11.2:      Casualty .
(bb)      Risk of loss or damage to the Properties by fire or other casualty through the Closing Date shall be with Sellers. If, prior to Closing, any Property shall be damaged by fire or other casualty (collectively, “ Casualty ”), Sellers shall promptly deliver to Purchaser written notice (“ Casualty Loss Notice ”) of such Casualty.
(cc)      For the purposes of this Section 11.2 , “ Material Damage ” shall mean damage to a Property of such nature that the cost of restoring the same to its condition prior to the Casualty will exceed the greater of $500,000 or the percentage set forth on Schedule 11.2 attached hereto relating to each Property, whether or not such damage is covered by insurance. If a Property has sustained Material Damage by a Casualty, Purchaser may, at its option, by delivering written notice to each Seller within fifteen (15) days after (1) delivery of the Casualty Loss Notice or (2) determination that Material Damage has occurred, whichever is later, (i) terminate this Agreement as to the affected Properties, and the Contract Price will be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Contract Price of the affected Properties or (ii) terminate this Agreement in its entirety, whereupon the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder. Unless the Casualty Loss Notice states that a Casualty constitutes Material Damage, the determination whether Material Damage has occurred shall be made pursuant to Section 11.2 (d) below. Failure of Purchaser to deliver written notice of termination, either as to the affected Properties or as to all Properties, within said fifteen (15) day period shall be conclusively deemed to constitute waiver of such election to terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part.
(dd)      In the event a Property has sustained a Casualty which is not Material Damage, or notwithstanding such Material Damage, Purchaser has elected not to terminate this Agreement in whole or in part, the rights and obligations of the parties shall not be affected thereby. In that event, Sellers shall pay to Purchaser at Closing the amount of insurance proceeds or damages received by Sellers in respect of such Casualty plus an amount equal to any deductible under Sellers’ casualty insurance policies and an amount equal to any uninsured losses, and Sellers shall assign to Purchaser all rights to insurance proceeds and claims in respect thereof.
(ee)      In the event of a Casualty, the parties shall attempt, on or before the expiration of ten (10) days after the date of delivery of the Casualty Loss Notice, to agree on the estimated cost of restoration for all purposes of this Section 11.2 , and as to the existence of any other condition or circumstance

35| P a g e
LEGAL_US_E # 101661756.3

        

which would affect the determination whether Material Damage has occurred. If the parties are unable to agree on or before the expiration of such ten (10) day period, then, Purchaser shall appoint a third party contractor or other expert to determine such matters, in which case, the determination of such third party contractor or expert shall be binding upon both parties.
ARTICLE 12:      MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 12.1:      Applicable Law . Except as otherwise expressly provided below or in any document or instrument executed and delivered under or pursuant to this Agreement, this Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to New York principles of conflicts of laws.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.

(a)      Prior to Closing and subject to the requirements of law and this paragraph, including the requirements of any governmental agency having jurisdiction over either Purchaser or Sellers or any legal process, the parties hereby agree that neither Acadia, Purchaser nor Sellers nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, employees, advisors or representatives shall issue any press release, public announcement, statement, publicity (oral or written), advertising promotion relating to the transaction described herein or otherwise announce or disclose or cause or permit to be announced or disclosed any details related to the transaction described herein; provided, however, that each of Purchaser and Sellers may make disclosure of this transaction to their investors, attorneys, accountants, lenders, creditors, officers, employees and agents as necessary to perform their obligations hereunder and to others to the extent required by law, including disclosure requirements of Acadia, or to enforce the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, the parties specifically agree that either party may issue one or more press releases related to the transaction with notice to the other party provided such press releases do not specifically identify the details of this transaction and of this Agreement or identify the other party and provided further that such press releases do not portray the other party, or its principals, affiliates or employees in a negative light. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any press release issued by Purchaser or Sellers may contain the location of the Properties and/or the Contract Price.
(b)      Until the Closing, Purchaser and its partners, members, attorneys, agents, employees, consultants and advisors will treat the information disclosed to it by Sellers, or otherwise gained through Purchaser’s access to the Properties and Sellers’ books and records, as confidential, giving it the same care as Purchaser’s own confidential information, and make no use of any such disclosed information not independently known to Purchaser except in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may make presentations to prospective investors in Purchaser’s interest in the Property, provided that Purchaser advises such prospective investors of Purchaser’s confidentiality obligations hereunder and such investors agree to be bound thereby. In the event of a termination of this Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly return all such confidential information to Sellers, other than (i) information retained by Purchaser pursuant to Purchaser’s internal document retention policy, and (ii) any Third Party Report, except that Sellers shall be permitted to retain such Third Party Report portions previously delivered to Sellers to substantiate the Inspection Objections, pursuant to Section 4.2(b) herein.

38| P a g e
LEGAL_US_E # 101661756.3

        

recording of this Agreement, any memorandum hereof, or any notice of pendency (unless Purchaser prevails in a final unappealable order against Sellers in the action underlying such notice of pendency) or any other instrument against the Properties in any case, by Purchaser. The provisions of this Article 13 shall survive the Closing or any early termination of this Agreement.

Section 14.2:      Interpleader . Sellers and Purchaser each mutually agree that in the event of any controversy regarding the Earnest Money, unless mutual written instructions are received by the Title Agent directing the Earnest Money’s disposition, the Title Agent shall not take any action, but instead shall await the disposition of any proceeding relating to the Earnest Money or, at the Title Agent’s option, the Title Agent may interplead all parties and deposit the Earnest Money with a court of competent jurisdiction in which event the Title Agent may recover all of its court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Sellers or Purchaser, whichever loses in any such interpleader action, shall be solely obligated to pay such costs and fees of the Title Agent, as well as the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.
Section 14.3:      Claim for Earnest Money . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if for any reason the Closing does not occur, the Title Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to Sellers or Purchaser only upon receipt of a written demand therefore from such party, subject to the following provisions of this paragraph. If for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon the Title Agent for payment of the Earnest Money, the Title Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand. If the Title Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within ten (10) business days after the giving of such notice, the Title Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Title Agent does receive such written objection within such ten (10) business day period, the Title Agent shall continue to hold the Earnest Money until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Sellers and Purchaser or a final, non-appealable judgment of a court.
Section 14.4:      Liability of Title Agent as Earnest Money Holder . The parties acknowledge that the Title Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Title Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Title Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any loss, cost or expense incurred by Sellers

39| P a g e
LEGAL_US_E # 101661756.3

        

or Purchaser resulting from the Title Agent’s mistake of law respecting the Title Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Sellers and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Title Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the performance of the Title Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Title Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of the Title Agent.
Section 14.5:      Resignation of Title Agent as Escrow Agent . The Title Agent may resign as escrow agent hereunder at any time upon giving the parties hereto thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. In such event, Sellers and Purchaser shall mutually select a firm, person or other entity to act as the successor escrow agent hereunder. The Title Agent’s resignation as escrow agent shall not be effective until a successor escrow agent agrees to act hereunder; provided , however , if no successor escrow agent is appointed and acting hereunder within thirty (30) days after such notice is given, the Title Agent may pay and deliver the proceeds then held in escrow into a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 14.6:      Escrow Fee . The escrow fee, if any, charged by the Title Agent for holding the Earnest Money shall be shared equally by Sellers and Purchaser.
ARTICLE 15:      PELHAM PROPERTY AND OZONE PARK PROPERTY PROVISIONS
Section 15.1:      Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall have the right to elect, in its sole determination, to an adjournment of the Closing solely with respect to either (or both of) (i) the Pelham Property (the “ Pelham Adjournment Right ”) or (ii) the Ozone Park Property (the “ Ozone Park Adjournment Right ”) to, in each instance, a date no later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date (the “ Pelham Extended Closing Date ” or the “ Ozone Park Extended Closing Date ”, as the case may be), by giving to Seller written notice of such election within two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date.
Section 15.2:      Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall have the right to elect, in its sole determination, to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to either (or both of) (i) the Pelham Property (the “ Pelham Termination Right ”) or (ii) the Ozone Park Property (the “ Ozone Park Termination Right ”), by giving to Seller written notice of such election within two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date or, in the event the Purchaser has elected the Pelham Adjournment Right or the Ozone Park Adjournment Right, or both, pursuant to Section 15.1 , prior to the Pelham Extended Closing Date or the Ozone Park Extended Closing Date, respectively, as applicable.
Section 15.3:      In the event the Purchaser shall have elected either the Pelham Adjournment Right or the Ozone Park Adjournment Right, as the case may be, the Purchaser and Seller each agree, upon completion of the other conditions to the Closing set forth in this Agreement and unrelated to the Pelham Property and/or the Ozone Park Property, as the case may be, the parties shall proceed to the applicable Closing on the Closing Date.

Section 15.4:      In the event that, within no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing of all other Properties except for either or both of the Pelham Property and the Ozone Park Property, as the case may be, Purchaser elects to purchase such Properties, then it shall be permitted to do so in accordance with this Agreement, and the Contract Price for such Property shall be the respective Allocated Contract Price. Purchaser’s failure, however, to elect to close on either or both of such properties by such date shall cause this Agreement, and Purchaser’s rights to purchase either such Property, without further act of either party, to immediately terminate with respect to such Property that has not been purchased, and only such provisions that are expressly stated to survive termination, including with regard to post-closing for any Properties that have been purchased.
