Forward-Looking Statements
     Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements containing the words “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “intends”, “future”, and words of similar import which express the Company’s beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future performance or future events or trends. While forward-looking statements reflect good faith beliefs, expectations or intentions, they are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of factors outside of the Company’s control. Certain factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the following: real estate investment considerations, such as the effect of economic and other conditions in general and in the Company’s market areas in particular; the financial viability of the Company’s tenants (including an inability to pay rent, filing for bankruptcy protection, closing stores and/or vacating the premises); the continuing availability of acquisition, development and redevelopment opportunities, on favorable terms; the availability of equity and debt capital (including the availability of construction financing) in the public and private markets; the availability of suitable joint venture partners and potential purchasers of the Company’s properties if offered for sale; the ability of the Company’s joint venture partners to fund their respective shares of property acquisitions, tenant improvements and capital expenditures; changes in interest rates; the fact that returns from acquisition, development and redevelopment activities may not be at expected levels or at expected times; risks inherent in ongoing development and redevelopment projects including, but not limited to, cost overruns resulting from weather delays, changes in the nature and scope of development and redevelopment efforts, changes in governmental regulations relating thereto, and market factors involved in the pricing of material and labor; the need to renew leases or re-let space upon the expiration or termination of current leases and incur applicable required replacement costs; and the financial flexibility of ourselves and our joint venture partners to repay or refinance debt obligations when due and to fund tenant improvements and capital expenditures.

Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Preparation
     Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in 1984 and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) in 1986. The Company focuses primarily on ownership, operation, development and redevelopment of supermarket-anchored shopping centers predominantly in coastal mid-Atlantic and New England states. At September 30, 2010, the Company owned and managed 125 operating properties (15 properties in an unconsolidated joint venture).
     Cedar Shopping Centers Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. At September 30, 2010 the Company owned a 97.7% economic interest in, and was the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership. The limited partners’ interest in the Operating Partnership (2.3% at September 30, 2010) is represented by Operating Partnership Units (“OP Units”). The carrying amount of such interest is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to an amount equal to the limited partners’ ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership’s net equity. The approximately 1.5 million OP Units outstanding at September 30, 2010 are economically equivalent to the Company’s common stock and are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the option of the respective holders on a one-to-one basis.
     As used herein, the “Company” refers to Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, including the Operating Partnership or, where the context so requires, Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. only.
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries, and certain joint venture partnerships in which it participates. The Company consolidates all variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk (i) lack the power to make decisions about the entity’s activities that significantly impacts the entity’s performance through voting or similar rights, (ii) have no obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) have no right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. In January 2010, the Company adopted the updated accounting guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE, which requires the performance of a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The updated guidance requires an entity to consolidate a VIE if it has (i) the power to direct the activities that most

8


 

Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
(unaudited)
significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of real estate held by these VIEs and general market conditions.
     With respect to its 13 consolidated operating joint ventures, the Company has general partnership interests of 20% in nine properties, 40% in two properties, 50% in one property and 75% in one property. As (i) such entities are not VIEs, and (ii) the Company is the sole general partner and exercises substantial operating control over these entities, the Company has determined that such entities should be consolidated for financial statement purposes. Current accounting guidance provides a framework for determining whether a general partner controls, and should consolidate, a limited partnership or similar entity in which it owns a minority interest.
     The Company’s three 60%-owned joint ventures for development projects in Limerick, Pottsgrove and Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, are consolidated as they are deemed to be VIEs and the Company is the primary beneficiary in each case. At September 30, 2010, these VIEs owned real estate with a carrying value of $135.9 million. The assets of the consolidated VIEs can be used to settle obligations other than those of the consolidated VIE. At that date, one of the VIEs had a property-specific mortgage loan payable aggregating $62.6 million, and the real estate owned by the other two VIEs partially collateralized the secured revolving development property credit facility to the extent of $28.1 million. Such obligations are guaranteed by, and are recourse to, the Company.
     With respect to its unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company has a 20% interest in a joint venture with RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust of Toronto, Canada, a publicly-traded Canadian real estate investment trust (“RioCan”) formed initially for the acquisition of seven shopping center properties owned by the Company; all seven properties had been transferred to the joint venture by June 30, 2010. The accounting treatment presentation on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is to reflect the Company’s applicable carrying values as “real estate to be transferred to a joint venture” retroactively for all periods presented, whereas the accounting treatment presentation on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations is to reflect the results of the properties’ operations through the respective dates of transfer in current operations and, prospectively following their transfer to the joint venture, as “equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures”. Although the Company provides management and other services, RioCan has significant management participation rights. The Company has determined that this joint venture is not a VIE. The Company accounts for its investment in this joint venture under the equity method.

     In addition, the Company has a 76.3% limited partner’s interest in a joint venture which owns a single-tenant office property in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Company has determined that this joint venture is not a VIE. The Company has no control over the entity, does not provide any management or other services to the entity, and has no substantial participating or “kick out” rights. The Company accounts for its investment in this joint venture under the equity method.
     At September 30, 2010, the Company had deposits of $0.9 million on five land parcels to be purchased for future development. Although each of the entities holding the deposits is considered a VIE, the Company has not consolidated any of them as the Company is not the primary beneficiary in each case.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for fair presentation (including normal recurring accruals) have been included. The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (as amended in Form 10-K/A).
     During the first quarter of 2010, the Company determined that at the time it acquired certain properties during 2003 through 2009, it had underprovided for certain identifiable intangible lease liabilities relating to fixed-price renewal options that were at below-market rates. At the time such properties were acquired, the Company determined the fair value of such renewal options to be immaterial, based upon the Company’s assessment of a very low probability that any of such renewal options would be exercised. Accordingly, the Company assigned a zero value to such renewal options. The Company reconsidered these determinations during the first quarter of 2010, and concluded that option renewal periods should have been valued with respect to certain of the leases. Using the updated assumptions, the Company determined that the December 31, 2009 carrying amounts of unamortized intangible lease liabilities and real estate, net, were understated by $8,429,000 and $7,688,000, respectively (the latter amount net of $741,000, representing the cumulative understated depreciation expense for the periods 2003 through 2009). In addition, total equity and limited partners’ interest in the Operating Partnership were overstated by $723,000 and $18,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2009, reflecting the aforementioned cumulative depreciation adjustment.
     Pursuant to the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when

10


 

Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
(unaudited)
Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”), the Company determined that these adjustments were immaterial to any full year’s consolidated financial statements. However, the Company did determine that recording the adjustments entirely in the three months ended March 31, 2010 would have been material to the consolidated statement of operations for that period. Accordingly, as provided by SAB 108, such adjustments were reflected retroactively in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all prior periods, including the December 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 included in this report.
     The following tables summarize the impact of the adjustments on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 and consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009:

Real Estate Investments and Discontinued Operations
     Real estate investments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The provision for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the respective assets of between 3 and 40 years. Depreciation expense amounted to $10.9 million and $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $32.9 million and $34.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Expenditures for betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and betterments that do not substantially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred.

     Upon the sale (or treatment as “held for sale”) or other disposition of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or impairment loss, if any, is reflected as discontinued operations. In addition, prior periods’ financial statements would be reclassified to reflect the sold properties’ operations as discontinued.
     Real estate investments include costs of development and redevelopment activities, and construction in progress. Capitalized costs, including interest and other carrying costs during the construction and/or renovation periods, are included in the cost of the related asset and charged to operations through depreciation over the asset’s estimated useful life. Interest and financing costs capitalized amounted to $0.6 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $2.2 million and $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of a property, such as pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs, and other costs incurred during the period of development. After a determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. The Company ceases capitalization on the portions substantially completed and occupied, or held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portions under development. The Company considers a construction project to be substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but not later than one year from cessation of major construction activity.
     Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. Real estate investments held for sale are carried at the lower of their respective carrying amounts or estimated fair values, less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the periods held for sale.
     During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company wrote off approximately $1.3 million of costs incurred in prior years for a potential development project in Williamsport, Pennsylvania that the Company determined would not go forward. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company wrote off costs incurred related to the acquisitions of San Souci Plaza and New London Mall (net of minority interest share) and the costs primarily associated with a cancelled acquisition (an aggregate of approximately $1.5 million).

     In connection with the Cedar/RioCan joint venture transactions, the Company recorded additional impairment charges related principally to the remaining completion work at the Blue Mountain Commons property transferred to the joint venture in December 2009 ($0.2 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively). The accounting treatment presentation on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations is to reflect the results of the properties’ operations through the respective dates of transfer in current operations and, prospectively, following their transfer to the joint venture, as “equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures”. Accordingly, the accompanying statement of operations includes revenues prior to the properties being transferred to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture in the amounts of $0.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively, for three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and $3.3 million and $13.6 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
     As of June 30, 2010, the Company treated as “held for sale” its 105,000 square foot Long Reach Village shopping center, located in Columbia, Maryland, with a sales price of approximately $5.5 million; the sale of the property was concluded on October 29, 2010. In connection with the decision to sell the property, the Company has recorded an impairment charge of approximately $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 ($3.0 million was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $34,000 was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2010). On February 25, 2010, the Company sold its 7,000 square foot Family Dollar convenience center, located in Zanesville, Ohio, for a sales price of $575,000; the Company realized a net gain on the transaction of approximately $170,000. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company sold, or treated as “held for sale”, nine of its drug store/convenience centers, located in Ohio and New York. Of these, three centers were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2010 for an aggregate sales price of approximately $10.1 million. In connection with these transactions, the Company recorded an additional impairment charge of approximately $248,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The properties’ results of operations have been classified as “discontinued operations” for all periods presented.
     The following is a summary of the components of (loss) income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

Conditional asset retirement obligation
     A conditional asset retirement obligation is a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the Company. The Company would record a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Environmental studies conducted at the time of acquisition with respect to all of the Company’s properties did not reveal any material environmental liabilities (the principal conditional asset retirement obligation), and the Company is unaware of any subsequent environmental matters that would have created a material liability. The Company believes that its properties are currently in material compliance with applicable environmental, as well as non-environmental, statutory and regulatory requirements. There were no conditional asset retirement obligation liabilities recorded by the Company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Fair Value Measurements
     The Company follows the updated accounting guidance relating to fair value measurements and disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

These standards did not materially affect how the Company determines fair value, but resulted in certain additional disclosures.
     The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels:
    Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
    Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
    Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
     The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible while also considering counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value. Financial liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements consist of interest rate swaps. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis, on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves (“significant other observable inputs”). The fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance using “significant unobservable inputs” such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. The Company has concluded, as of September 30, 2010, that the fair value associated with the “significant unobservable inputs” relating to the Company’s risk of non-performance was insignificant to the overall fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and, as a result, the Company has determined that the relevant inputs for purposes of calculating the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, in their entirety, were based upon “significant other observable inputs”. Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements consist of real estate to be transferred to a joint venture and real estate held for sale — discontinued operations.
     The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value. The valuation of the liability for the Company’s interest rate swaps ($1.9 million at September 30, 2010 and $5.9 million at December 31, 2009), which is measured on a recurring basis, was determined to be a Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and was based on independent values provided by financial institutions. The valuations of the assets for the Company’s real estate to be transferred to a joint venture and real estate held for sale — discontinued operations ($0.0 million and $8.3 million, respectively, at September 30, 2010, and $139.7 million and $21.4

million, respectively, at December 31, 2009), which is measured on a nonrecurring basis, have been determined to be a Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on the respective contracts of transfer and/or sale.
     The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate mortgage loans was estimated using “significant other observable inputs” such as available market information and discounted cash flows analyses based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the aggregate fair values of the Company’s fixed rate mortgage loans were approximately $599.4 million and $579.2 million, respectively; the carrying values of such loans were $602.6 million and $606.1 million, respectively, at those dates.
Intangible Lease Asset/Liability
     The Company allocates the fair value of real estate acquired to land, buildings and improvements. In addition, the fair value of in-place leases is allocated to intangible lease assets and liabilities.
     The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. In valuing an acquired property’s intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, such as real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs.
     The values of acquired above-market and below-market leases are recorded based on the present values (using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between the contractual amounts to be received and management’s estimate of market lease rates, measured over the terms of the respective leases that management deemed appropriate at the time of the acquisitions. Such valuations include a consideration of the non-cancellable terms of the respective leases as well as any applicable renewal period(s). The fair values associated with below-market rental renewal options are determined based on the Company’s experience and the relevant facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the acquisitions. The values of above-market leases are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of below-market leases associated with the original non-cancelable lease terms are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of the leases associated with below-market renewal options that are likely of exercise are amortized to rental income over the respective renewal periods. The value of other intangible assets (including

17

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
(unaudited)
leasing commissions, tenant improvements, etc.) is amortized to expense over the applicable terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration or not renewed, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time.
     With respect to the Company’s acquisitions, the fair values of in-place leases and other intangibles are allocated to the intangible asset and liability accounts. Such allocations are preliminary and are based on information and estimates available as of the respective dates of acquisition. As final information becomes available and is refined, appropriate adjustments are made to the purchase price allocations, which are finalized within twelve months of the respective dates of acquisition.
     Unamortized intangible lease liabilities relate primarily to below-market leases, and amounted to $49.3 million and $53.7 million (as revised) at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
     As a result of recording the intangible lease assets and liabilities, (i) revenues were increased by $2.0 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $7.0 million and $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, relating to the amortization of intangible lease liabilities, and (ii) depreciation and amortization expense was increased correspondingly by $3.1 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $8.8 million and $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
     Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term investments with original maturities of less than ninety days from the date of purchase, and include cash at consolidated joint ventures of $6.2 million and $7.4 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
Restricted Cash
     The terms of several of the Company’s mortgage loans payable require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such “restricted cash” is generally available only for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established and is not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations.
Rents and Other Receivables
     Management has determined that all of the Company’s leases with its various tenants are operating leases. Rental income with scheduled rent increases is recognized using the straight-

18

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)
line method over the respective non-cancelable terms of the leases. The aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual base rents is included in straight-line rents on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases also generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred generally attributable to their respective allocable portions of the total gross leaseable area (“GLA”); under certain leases, such reimbursements are “capped”, i.e., limited to a specified dollar or percentage amount. Such income is recognized in the periods earned. In addition, a limited number of operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are required to pay, as additional rent, a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount. The Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until such specified sales targets are met.
     The Company must make estimates as to the collectibility of its accounts receivable related to base rent, straight-line rent, percentage rent, expense reimbursements and other revenues. When management analyzes accounts receivable and evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, it considers such things as historical bad debts, tenant creditworthiness, current economic trends, current developments relevant to a tenant’s business specifically and to its business category generally, and changes in tenants’ payment patterns. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $4.4 million and $5.3 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The provision for doubtful accounts (included in operating, maintenance and management expenses) was $1.0 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $2.5 million and $2.8 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents in excess of insured amounts and tenant receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its tenants and requires certain tenants to provide security deposits and/or suitable guarantees.
Other Assets
     Other assets at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are comprised of the following:

    September 30,     December 31,  
    2010     2009  
Lease origination costs (i)
  $ 17,176,000     $ 17,696,000

(i)   Lease origination costs include the unamortized balance of intangible lease assets resulting from purchase accounting allocations of $8.8 million and $10.0 million, respectively.
 
(ii)   Financing costs are incurred in connection with the Company’s credit facilities and other long-term debt.
     Deferred charges are amortized over the terms of the related agreements. Amortization expense related to deferred charges (including amortization of deferred financing costs included in non-operating income and expense) amounted to $5.1 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $9.2 million and $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
     On September 13, 2010, the Company elected to reduce the total commitments under its secured revolving stabilized property credit facility by $100.0 million. In this connection, the Company accelerated the write-off of approximately $2.6 million of deferred financing costs.
Income Taxes
     The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). A REIT will generally not be subject to federal income taxation on that portion of its income that qualifies as REIT taxable income, to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of such REIT taxable income to its shareholders and complies with

20


 

Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
(unaudited)
certain other requirements. As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all REIT requirements.
     The Company follows a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that more-likely-than-not will be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions is prohibited. The Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions which would require an accrual.
Derivative Financial Instruments
     The Company occasionally utilizes derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate swaps, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment, and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments must be effective in reducing the Company’s interest rate risk exposure in order to qualify for hedge accounting. When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist, all changes in the fair value of the instrument are marked-to-market with changes in value included in net income for each period until the derivative instrument matures or is settled. Any derivative instrument used for risk management that does not meet the hedging criteria is marked-to-market with the changes in value included in net income. The Company has not entered into, and does not plan to enter into, derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Additionally, the Company has a policy of entering into derivative contracts only with major financial institutions. On January 20, 2010, the Company paid approximately $5.5 million to terminate interest rate swaps applicable to the financing for its development joint venture property in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.
     As of September 30, 2010, the Company believes it has no significant risk associated with non-performance of the financial institutions which are the counterparties to its derivative contracts. Additionally, based on the rates in effect as of September 30, 2010, if a counterparty were to default, the Company would receive a net interest benefit. At September 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $20.2 million of mortgage loans payable subject to interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps converted LIBOR-based variable rates to fixed annual rates of 5.4% and 6.5% per annum. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had accrued liabilities of $1.9 million (included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet) relating to the fair value of interest rate swaps applicable to mortgage loans payable. Charges and/or credits relating to the changes in fair values of such interest rate swaps are made to accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, noncontrolling interests (minority interests in

Earnings Per Share
     Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to the Company’s common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (including restricted shares and shares held by Rabbi Trusts). Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. The calculation of the number of such additional shares related to the warrants issued to RioCan prior to exercise was 0 and 26,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010; however such

22

amounts were anti-dilutive as the Company reported a net loss in both periods. The calculation of the number of such additional shares related to other warrants and stock options was anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Fully-dilutive EPS was the same as basic EPS for all periods.
Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) establishes the procedures for the granting of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, performance units and performance shares. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan is 2,750,000, and the maximum number of shares that may be granted to a participant in any calendar year may not exceed 250,000. Substantially all grants issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan are “restricted stock grants” which specify vesting (i) upon the third anniversary of the date of grant for time-based grants, or (ii) upon the completion of a designated period of performance for performance-based grants and satisfaction of the performance criteria. The shares granted in March 2010 in connection with the Company’s performance-based target bonus compensation arrangements for 2009 will vest one year from the date of grant. Time—based grants are valued according to the market price for the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. For performance-based grants, the Company generally engages an independent appraisal company to determine the value of the shares at the date of grant, taking into account the underlying contingency risks associated with the performance criteria.
     In January 2008 and June 2008, the Company issued 53,000 shares and 7,000 shares of common stock, respectively, as performance-based grants, based on the total annual return on an investment in the Company’s common stock (“TSR”) over the three-year period ending December 31, 2010, which will vest if such TSR is equal to, or greater than, an average of 8% per year. The independent appraisal determined the value of the January 2008 performance-based shares to be $6.05 per share, compared to a market price at the date of grant of $10.07 per share; similar methodology determined the value of the June 2008 performance-based shares to be $10.31 per share, compared to a market price at the date of grant of $12.13 per share.
     In January 2009, the Company issued 218,000 shares of common stock as performance-based grants, based on the TSR over the three-year period ending December 31, 2011, with 75% to vest if such TSR is equal to, or greater than an average of 6% TSR per year on the Company’s common stock, and 25% to vest based on a comparison of TSR for such three years to the Company’s peer group. The independent appraisal determined the values of the performance-based shares to be $5.44 and $6.48 per share, respectively, compared to a market price at the date of grant of $7.02 per share.
     In January 2010, the Company issued 227,000 shares of common stock as performance-based grants. As modified in September 2010, one-half of these amounts will vest upon the

23

(unaudited)
satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) if the TSR on the Company’s common stock is at least an average of 6% per year for the three years ending December 31, 2012, and (b) if there is a positive comparison of TSR on the Company’s common stock to the median of the TSR for the Company’s peer group for the three years ending December 31, 2012. The independent appraisal determined the values of the category (a) and (b) performance-based shares to be $4.56 per share and $6.00 per share, respectively, compared to a market price at the date of grant of $6.70 per share. In September 2010, the Company issued 3,000 shares of performance-based grants which will vest the same as the January 2010 grants. The Company has valued these shares at the market price of $6.17 per share on the date of grant.
     The additional restricted shares issued during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were time-based grants, and amounted to 1,000 shares and 20,000 shares for the three months September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 279,000 shares and 396,000 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The value of all grants is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting periods (irrespective of achievement of the performance grants) adjusted, as applicable, for fluctuations in the market value of the Company’s common stock. Those grants of restricted shares that are transferred to Rabbi Trusts are classified as treasury stock on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The following table sets forth certain stock-based compensation information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements
     In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures, which requires disclosure of details of significant asset or liability transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy and inclusion of gross purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of assets and liabilities valued using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. The guidance also clarifies and expands existing disclosure requirements related to the disaggregation of fair value disclosures and inputs used in arriving at fair values for assets and liabilities using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 rollforward, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and for the

respective interim periods within those years. The adoption of that portion of the guidance that became effective on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements; the Company does not expect the adoption of that portion of the guidance which becomes effective on January 1, 2011 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Real Estate/Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
     The Company and RioCan have entered into an 80% (RioCan) and 20% (Cedar) joint venture (i) initially for the purchase of seven supermarket-anchored properties previously owned by the Company, and (ii) then to acquire additional primarily supermarket-anchored properties in the Company’s primary market areas, in the same joint venture format. The transfers of the initial seven properties, which commenced in December 2009, were completed in May 2010. The 2010 property transfers resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $29.9 million, all of which were used to repay/reduce the outstanding balances under the Company’s secured revolving credit facilities.
     On January 26, 2010, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture acquired the Town Square Plaza shopping center located in Temple, Pennsylvania, an approximately 128,000 square foot supermarket-anchored shopping center which was completed in 2008. The purchase price for the property, which was unencumbered, was approximately $19.0 million.
     On July 2, 2010, the Company placed approximately $33.0 million of mortgage financing, which bears interest at 5.0% per annum, on three previously unencumbered Cedar/RioCan joint venture properties.
     On August 3, 2010, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture acquired the Exeter Commons shopping center located in Exeter Township, Pennsylvania, an approximately 361,000 square foot supermarket-anchored shopping center which was completed in 2009. The purchase price for the property was approximately $53.0 million. At the closing, the joint venture placed an approximate $30.0 million first mortgage, which bears interest at 5.30% per annum, on the property.
     On September 29, 2010, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture acquired the Montville Commons shopping center located in Uncasville, Connecticut, an approximate 118,000 square foot shopping which was completed in 2005. The purchase price for the property, which was unencumbered, was approximately $18.9 million.
     On September 29, 2010, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture acquired a five shopping center portfolio for approximately $133.3 million. The five centers, Monroe Marketplace, located in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, Creekview Shopping Center, located in Warrington, Pennsylvania, Pitney Road Plaza, located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Sunrise Plaza, located in Forked River,

New Jersey and New River Valley Center, located in Christiansburg, Virginia, comprise approximately 936,000 square feet of primarily supermarket and big box anchored shopping centers. At the closing, the joint venture placed an approximate $72.5 million first mortgage, which bears interest at 4.75% per annum, on the five properties.
     In connection with the Cedar/RioCan joint venture transactions, the Company earned from the joint venture an acquisition fee of approximately $1.1 million and financing fees of approximately $0.3 million, which are included in other income in the accompanying statements of operations. In addition, the Company incurred fees due its investment advisor of approximately $2.2 million, which are included in transaction costs in the accompanying statements of operations.
     In connection with September 29, 2010, portfolio acquisition, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture agreed to purchase two additional properties, with an aggregate of 821,000 square feet, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $67.8 million above a $11.8 million first mortgage bearing interest at 7.0% per annum and maturing in November 2018, subject to certain conditions. One property, Red Rose Commons, located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is subject to the terms of an existing partnership agreement between a third party joint-venture partner and the seller. This property would be purchased by the existing Cedar/RioCan joint venture. The other property, The Whitehall Mall, located in Allentown, Pennsylvania, would be owned by Cedar and RioCan on a 50-50 basis with the expectation that the parties will eventually redevelop this property. Closing of this purchase is also subject to reaching agreement with a third partner joint-venture partner of the seller.
     The following summarizes certain financial information related to the Company’s investment in the Cedar/RioCan unconsolidated joint venture at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010:

     Included in variable-rate mortgages is the Company’s $70.7 million construction facility (as amended on November 3, 2010) with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (as agent) and several other banks, pursuant to which the Company has pledged its joint venture development property in Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania as collateral for borrowings thereunder. The facility is guaranteed by the Company and will expire in September 2011, subject to a one-year extension option. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the Company’s option at either LIBOR plus a spread of 225 basis points (“bps”) (amended on November 3, 2010 to 325 bps), or the agent bank’s prime rate. Borrowings outstanding under the facility aggregated $62.6 million at September 30, 2010, and such borrowings bore interest at an average rate of 2.5% per annum. As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants and financial statement ratios required by the terms of the construction facility.
Secured Revolving Stabilized Property Credit Facility
     In November 2009, the Company closed an amended and restated secured revolving stabilized property credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, together with three other lead lenders and other participating banks. On September 13, 2010, the Company elected to reduce the total commitments under the facility from $285.0 million to $185.0 million. The facility is expandable to $400 million, subject principally to acceptable collateral and the availability of lender commitments and will expire on January 31, 2012, subject to a one-year extension option. The principal terms of the facility include (i) an availability based primarily on appraisals, with a 67.5% advance rate, (ii) an interest rate based

30

on LIBOR plus 350 bps, with a 200 bps LIBOR floor, (iii) a leverage ratio limited to 67.5%, and (iv) an unused portion fee of 50 bps.
     Borrowings outstanding under the facility aggregated $23.5 million at September 30, 2010; such borrowings bore interest at a rate of 5.5% per annum; the Company had pledged 32 of its shopping center properties as collateral for such borrowings as of that date.
     The secured revolving stabilized property credit facility has been, and will be, used to fund acquisitions, certain development and redevelopment activities, capital expenditures, mortgage repayments, dividend distributions, working capital and other general corporate purposes. The facility is subject to customary financial covenants, including limits on leverage and distributions (limited to 95% of funds from operations, as defined), and other financial statement ratios. Based on covenant measurements and collateral in place as of September 30, 2010, the Company was permitted to draw up to approximately $163.5 million, of which approximately $140.0 million remained available as of that date. As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants and financial statement ratios required by the terms of the secured revolving stabilized property credit facility.
     On October 26, 2010, the Company placed a first mortgage on a property that had previously collateralized the secured revolving stabilized property credit facility. Reflecting this transaction, the amount the Company is permitted to draw under the facility was adjusted from $163.5 million to $154.1 million.
Secured Revolving Development Property Credit Facility
     The Company has a $150 million secured revolving development property credit facility with KeyBank, National Association (as agent) and several other banks, pursuant to which the Company has pledged certain of its development projects and redevelopment properties as collateral for borrowings thereunder. The facility, as amended, is expandable to $250 million, subject principally to acceptable collateral and the availability of additional lender commitments, and will expire in June 2011, subject to a one-year extension option. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the Company’s option at either LIBOR or the agent bank’s prime rate, plus a spread of 225 bps or 75 bps, respectively. Advances under the facility are calculated at the least of 70% of aggregate project costs, 70% of “as stabilized” appraised values, or costs incurred in excess of a 30% equity requirement on the part of the Company. The facility also requires an unused portion fee of 15 bps. This facility has been, and will be, used to fund in part the Company’s and certain consolidated joint ventures’ development activities. In order to draw funds under this construction facility, the Company must meet certain pre-leasing and other conditions. Borrowings outstanding under the facility aggregated $102.9 million at September 30, 2010; such borrowings bore interest at an average rate of 2.5% per annum. As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants and financial statement ratios required by the terms of the secured revolving development property credit facility.

Note 5. Preferred and Common Stock
     The Company in October 2009 (1) sold to RioCan 6,666,666 shares of the Company’s common stock at $6.00 per share in a private placement for an aggregate of $40 million (RioCan agreeing that it would not sell any of such shares for a period of one year), (2) issued to RioCan warrants to purchase 1,428,570 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share (RioCan exercised its warrant on April 27, 2010 and the Company realized net proceeds of $10.0 million), and (3) entered into a “standstill” agreement with respect to increases in RioCan’s ownership of the Company’s common stock for a three-year period. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the Company agreed that it would not issue any new shares of common stock unless RioCan is offered the right to purchase that additional number of shares that would maintain its pro rata percentage ownership, on a fully diluted basis.
     The Company has a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA Agreement”) with an investment company for sales of its shares of common stock aggregating up to $45 million over a two-year commitment period ending in September 2011. Under the terms of the SEPA Agreement, the Company may sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock at a discount to market of 1.75%. The amount of these daily sales is generally limited to the lesser of 20% of the average daily trading volume or $1.0 million. In connection with these sales transactions, the Company agreed to pay an investment advisor a 0.75% placement agent fee. In addition, the Company may require the investment company to advance from time to time up to $5.0 million provided, however, that the Company may only request these larger advances approximately once a month. With respect to such advances, the common stock sales are at a discount to market of 2.75% and the placement agent fee is 1.25%. As the Company has a conditional obligation to issue a variable number of shares of its common stock, advances are initially recorded as a liability, and as shares are sold on a daily basis and the advance is settled, such liability is reflected in equity. At December 31, 2009, there was an unsettled advance liability of $5.0 million, which was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Such advance was settled in January and February 2010 by the sale of 718,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average selling price of $6.97 per share. On April 15, 2010, the Company received a $5.0 million advance pursuant to the SEPA Agreement. Such advance was settled in April and May 2010 by the sale of 667,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average selling price of $7.52 per share.
     On February 5, 2010, the Company concluded a public offering of 7,500,000 shares of its common stock at $6.60 per share, and realized net proceeds, after offering expenses, of approximately $47.0 million. On March 3, 2010, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to the extent of 698,000 shares, and the Company realized additional net proceeds of $4.3 million. In connection with the offering, RioCan purchased 1,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company realized additional net proceeds of $8.9 million.

The DRIP offers a convenient method for shareholders to invest cash dividends and/or make optional cash payments to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at 98% of their market value. Through September 30, 2010, the Company issued approximately 927,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $5.65 per share and realized proceeds after expenses of approximately $5.1 million.

In addition, the defendants acquired 94,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average price of $8.01 per share from which the Company realized net proceeds of an additional $750,000.
     On August 25, 2010, the Company concluded a public offering of 2,850,000 shares of its 8-7/8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable preferred stock at $24.50 per share, and realized net proceeds, after offering expenses, of approximately $67.3 million. In connection with the sale, the Company’s investment advisor received an underwriter’s discount of approximately $2.4 million.
     During 2001, pursuant to the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”), the Company granted to the then directors options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 13,000 shares of common stock at $10.50 per share, the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The options are fully exercisable and expire in July 2011. In connection with the adoption of the Incentive Plan, the Company agreed that it would not grant any more options under the Option Plan.
     In connection with an acquisition of a shopping center in 2002, the Operating Partnership issued warrants to purchase approximately 83,000 OP Units to a then minority interest partner in the property. Such warrants have an exercise price of $13.50 per unit, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, are fully vested, and expire in May 2012.

The closing required cash (principally the funding of lender escrows, but excluding other closing costs and adjustments) of . approximately $2.5 million and the assumption of a $13.0 million first mortgage loan, bearing interest at 6.5% per annum and maturing in 2012.
     On October 21, 2010, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture acquired a five shopping center portfolio for approximately $91.0 million.

The joint venture anticipates arranging fixed-rate financing of approximately $50.6 million on this portfolio subsequent to the closing.
     On October 21, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.09 per share with respect to its common stock as well as an equal distribution per unit on its outstanding OP Units. At the same time, the Board declared a dividend of $0.5546875 per share with respect to the Company’s 8-7/8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The distributions are payable on November 22, 2010 to shareholders of record on November 12, 2010.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Executive Summary
     The Company is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust which focuses primarily on ownership, operation, development and redevelopment of supermarket-anchored shopping centers predominantly in coastal mid-Atlantic and New England states. At September 30, 2010, the Company owned and managed (both wholly-owned and in joint venture) a portfolio of 125 operating properties totaling approximately 14.5 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”), including 93 wholly-owned properties comprising approximately 9.4 million square feet, 13 properties owned in joint venture (consolidated) comprising approximately 1.7 million square feet, 15 properties partially-owned in a managed unconsolidated joint venture comprising approximately 2.7 million square feet, and four ground-up development properties comprising approximately 0.7 million square feet. Excluding the four ground-up development properties, the 121 property portfolio was approximately 90.8% leased at September 30, 2010. The Company also owned approximately 194 acres of land parcels, a portion of which is under development. In addition, the Company has a 76.3% interest in another unconsolidated joint venture, which it does not manage, which owns a single-tenant office property in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
     The Company, organized as a Maryland corporation, has established an umbrella partnership structure through the contribution of substantially all of its assets to the Operating Partnership, organized as a limited partnership under the laws of Delaware. The Company conducts substantially all of its business through the Operating Partnership. At September 30, 2010, the Company owned 97.7% of the Operating Partnership and is its sole general partner. OP Units are economically equivalent to the Company’s common stock and are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the option of the holders on a one-to-one basis.
     The Company has historically sought opportunities to acquire properties suited for development and/or redevelopment where it can utilize its experience in shopping center construction, renovation, expansion, re-leasing and re-merchandising to achieve long-term cash flow growth and favorable investment returns. In connection with the Cedar/RioCan joint venture, the Company will continue to seek to acquire primarily supermarket-anchored stabilized properties in its primary market areas.
     The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating expense reimbursements received pursuant to long-term leases. The Company’s operating results therefore depend on the ability of its tenants to make the payments required by the terms of their leases. The Company focuses its investment activities on supermarket-anchored community shopping centers. The Company believes that, because of the need of consumers to purchase food and other staple goods and services generally available at such centers, its type of “necessities”-based properties should provide relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic times. In April 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors suspended the

35


 

dividend for the balance of the year. This decision was in response to the then-current state of the economy, the difficult retail environment, the constrained capital markets and the need to renew the Company’s secured revolving stabilized property credit facility. In December 2009, following a review of the state of the economy and the Company’s financial position, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to resume payment of a cash dividend in the amount of $0.09 per share ($0.36 per share on an annualized basis) on the Company’s common stock.
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
     The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, real estate investments and purchase accounting allocations related thereto, asset impairment, and derivatives used to hedge interest-rate risks. Management’s estimates are based both on information that is currently available and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those estimates could be different under varying assumptions or conditions.
     The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies, the application of which requires significant judgments and estimates:
Revenue Recognition
     Rental income with scheduled rent increases is recognized using the straight-line method over the respective non-cancelable terms of the leases. The aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over base rents under applicable lease provisions is included in straight-line rents receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. Leases also generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred generally attributable to their respective allocable portions of the total GLA; under certain leases, such reimbursements are “capped”, i.e., limited to a specified dollar or percentage amount. Such income is recognized in the periods earned. In addition, a limited number of operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are required to pay, as additional rent, a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount. The Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until such specified sales targets are met.
     The Company must make estimates as to the collectibility of its accounts receivable related to base rent, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and other revenues. Management analyzes accounts receivable by considering tenant creditworthiness, current economic conditions, and changes in tenants’ payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. These estimates have a direct impact on net income, because a higher bad debt allowance would result in lower net income, whereas a lower bad debt allowance would result in higher net income.

36


 

Real Estate Investments
     Real estate investments are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The provision for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and betterments that do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred. Expenditures for betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of real estate assets are capitalized. Real estate investments include costs of development and redevelopment activities, and construction in progress. Capitalized costs, including interest and other carrying costs during the construction and/or renovation periods, are included in the cost of the related asset and charged to operations through depreciation over the asset’s estimated useful life. The Company is required to make subjective estimates as to the useful lives of its real estate assets for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. A shorter estimate of the useful life of an asset would have the effect of increasing depreciation expense and lowering net income, whereas a longer estimate of the useful life of an asset would have the effect of reducing depreciation expense and increasing net income.
     A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of a property, such as pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs, and other costs incurred during the period of development. After a determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. The Company ceases capitalization on the portions substantially completed and occupied, or held available for occupancy, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portions under construction. The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but not later than one year from cessation of major development activity. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The effect of a longer capitalization period would be to increase capitalized costs and would result in higher net income, whereas the effect of a shorter capitalization period would be to reduce capitalized costs and would result in lower net income.
     The Company allocates the fair value of real estate acquired to land, buildings and improvements. In addition, the fair value of in-place leases is allocated to intangible lease assets and liabilities.
     The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. In valuing an acquired property’s intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, such as real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs.

37


 

     The values of acquired above-market and below-market leases are recorded based on the present values (using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between the contractual amounts to be received and management’s estimate of market lease rates, measured over the terms of the respective leases that management deemed appropriate at the time of the acquisitions. Such valuations include a consideration of the non-cancellable terms of the respective leases as well as any applicable renewal period(s). The fair values associated with below-market rental renewal options are determined based on the Company’s experience and the relevant facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the acquisitions. The values of above-market leases are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of below-market leases associated with the original non-cancelable lease terms are amortized to rental income over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of the leases associated with below-market renewal options that are likely of exercise are amortized to rental income over the respective renewal periods. The value of other intangible assets (including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, etc.) is amortized to expense over the applicable terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration or not renewed, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time.
     Management is required to make subjective assessments in connection with its valuation of real estate acquisitions. These assessments have a direct impact on net income, because (i) above-market and below-market lease intangibles are amortized to rental income, and (ii) the value of other intangibles is amortized to expense. Accordingly, higher allocations to below-market lease liability and other intangibles would result in higher rental income and amortization expense, whereas lower allocations to below-market lease liability and other intangibles would result in lower rental income and amortization expense.
     Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates of cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value. A real estate investment held for sale is carried at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value, less the cost of a potential sale. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the period the property is held for sale. Management is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of its real estate properties. These assessments have a direct impact on net income, because an impairment loss is recognized in the period that the assessment is made.
Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) establishes the procedures for the granting of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares,

38


 

performance units and performance shares. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan, as amended, is 2,750,000, and the maximum number of shares that may be granted to a participant in any calendar year is 250,000. Substantially all grants issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan are “restricted stock grants” which specify vesting (i) upon the third anniversary of the date of grant for time-based grants, or (ii) upon the completion of a designated period of performance for performance-based grants and satisfaction of the performance criteria. The shares granted in March 2010 in connection with the Company’s performance-based target bonus compensation arrangements for 2009 will vest one year from the date of grant. Time—based grants are valued according to the market price for the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. For performance-based grants, the Company engages an independent appraisal company to determine the value of the shares at the date of grant, taking into account the underlying contingency risks associated with the performance criteria. These value estimates have a direct impact on net income, because higher valuations would result in lower net income, whereas lower valuations would result in higher net income. The value of such grants is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting periods, as adjusted for fluctuations in the market value of the Company’s common stock.
Results of Operations
     Differences in results of operations between 2010 and 2009 were primarily the result of the impact of the Cedar/RioCan joint venture transactions, the Company’s property acquisition/disposition program, and continuing development/redevelopment activities. During the period January 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010, the Company acquired two shopping centers aggregating approximately 522,000 square feet of GLA for a total cost of approximately $72.5 million. In addition, the Company placed into service four ground-up developments having an aggregate cost of approximately $151.4 million. The Company sold or treated as “held for sale” 11 drug store/convenience/supermarket anchored centers aggregating approximately 416,000 square feet of GLA for an aggregate sales price of approximately $33.2 million. The Company has transferred seven properties to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture, aggregating approximately 1,167,000 square feet of GLA. In connection with such transfer, the Company realized approximately $64 million in net proceeds. Net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders was ($6.8) million and $1.4 million for three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and ($14.5) million and $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(i)   Non-operating income and expense consists principally of interest expense (including amortization and write-off of deferred financing costs) and equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures, and gain on sale of a land parcel.
      Properties held in both periods. The Company held 101 properties throughout the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
      Total revenues decreased primarily as a result of (i) a decrease in base rents ($0.6 million), (ii) a decrease in non-cash amortization of intangible lease liabilities primarily as a result of the completion of scheduled amortization at certain properties ($1.7 million) (which also resulted in a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense), (iii) a decrease in tenant recovery income ($0.1 million), (iv) a decrease in percentage rent ($0.1 million), and (v) a decrease in straight-line rents ($0.4 million). In connection with the worsening economic climate beginning in the latter part of 2008 and continuing throughout the respective periods, the Company received a number of requests from tenants for rent relief. While the Company did in fact grant such relief in selected limited circumstances, the aggregate amount of such relief granted had a limited impact on results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that the amount of such relief will not become more significant in future periods.
      Property operating expenses increased primarily as a result of (i) an increase in non-billable operating expenses ($0.1 million), (ii) an increase in landscaping ($25,000), (iii) an increase in real estate taxes ($25,000), (iv) an increase in utilities ($24,000), (v) an increase in management fees ($22,000), (vi) an increase in other operating expenses ($28,000), which is partially off-set by (vii) a decrease in bad debt expense ($171,000).
      General and administrative expenses decreased primarily as the result of a decrease in mark-to-market adjustments relating to stock-based compensation.
      Impairments reflect additional impairment charges related principally to the properties transferred to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture.

      Terminated projects and acquisition transaction costs for the three months ended September 30, 2010 principally includes an acquisition fee that was payable to the Company’s investment advisor related to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture ($2.0 million).
      Non-operating income and expense, net , increased primarily as a result of (i) higher amortization of deferred financing costs ($3.4 million) resulting from (a) extending the secured revolving stabilized property credit facility, originally in January 2009 and again in November 2009, and (b) the Company’s reduction in September 2010 of its aggregate commitments under its secured revolving stabilized property credit facility, resulting in an accelerated write-off of deferred financing costs of approximately $2.6 million, (ii) a decrease in development activity reducing the amount of interest expense capitalized to development projects ($0.9 million), (iii) a decrease in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures ($0.5 million), (iv) higher loan interest expense principally related to an increase in the interest rate for the secured revolving stabilized property credit facility, which was partially offset by a reduction in the outstanding balance of the secured revolving stabilized credit facility ($28,000), partially offset by (v) a decrease in mortgage interest expense ($1.4 million) principally related to the transfer of properties to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture.
      Discontinued operations for 2010 and 2009 include the results of operations and impairment charges ($34,000) and ($0.6 million), respectively, for 11 of the Company’s drug store/convenience/supermarket anchored centers which it sold or treated as “held for sale”, located in Ohio, New York and Maryland.
      Other includes principally (a) the results of properties acquired after January 1, 2009, (b) the results of properties transferred to the Cedar/Rio joint venture through the respective dates of transfer, (c) acquisition, financing and property management fees earned by the Company, (d) results of ground-up development and re-development properties recently placed into service and (e) unallocated property and construction management compensation and benefits (including stock-based compensation), summarized as follows:

      Properties held in both periods. The Company held 99 properties throughout the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
      Total revenues decreased primarily as a result of (i) a decrease in non-cash amortization of intangible lease liabilities primarily as a result of the completion of scheduled amortization at certain properties ($3.0 million) (which also resulted in a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense), (ii) a decrease in base rents ($1.9 million), (iii) a decrease in tenant recovery income ($0.7 million), (iv) a decrease in other income predominately related to insurance proceeds received during the second quarter of 2009 ($0.1 million), (v) a decrease in non-cash straight-line rents primarily as a result of early lease terminations ($0.5 million) and (vi) a decrease in percentage rent ($0.2 million). In connection with the worsening economic climate beginning in the latter part of 2008 and continuing throughout the respective periods, the Company received a number of requests from tenants for rent relief. While the Company did in fact grant such relief in selected limited circumstances, the aggregate amount of such relief granted had a limited impact on results of operations.
      Property operating expenses increased primarily as a result of (i) an increase in snow removal costs ($0.6 million), (ii) an increase in utilities ($0.1 million), (iii) an increase in repairs

and maintenance ($0.1 million) and (iv) an increase in non-billable operating expenses ($0.2 million), partially offset by (v) a decrease in insurance expense ($0.3 million), (vi) a decrease in bad debt expense ($0.3 million) and (vii) a decrease in other operating expenses ($0.1 million).
      General and administrative expenses decreased primarily as the result of proceeds from the settlement of a lawsuit in the Company’s favor ($0.8 million), offset by an increase in mark-to-market adjustments relating to stock-based compensation.
      Impairments reflect an additional impairment charge related principally to completion of work at the Blue Mountain Commons property transferred to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture in December 2009.
      Terminated projects and acquisition transaction costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 include: (i) a write-off of approximately $1.3 million of costs incurred in prior years for a potential development project in Williamsport, Pennsylvania that the Company determined would not go forward and (ii) an acquisition fee payable to the Company’s investment advisor related to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture of approximately $2.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company wrote off costs incurred related to the acquisitions of San Souci Plaza and New London Mall (net of minority interest share) and the costs primarily associated with a cancelled acquisition (an aggregate of approximately $1.5 million) and $2.4 million of costs incurred in prior years for a potential development project in New Milford, Delaware that the Company determined would not go forward.
      Non-operating income and expense, net , increased primarily as a result of (i) higher amortization of deferred financing costs ($4.4 million) resulting from (a) extending the secured revolving stabilized property credit facility, originally in January 2009 and again in November 2009, and (b) the Company’s reduction in September 2010 of its aggregate commitments under its secured revolving stabilized property credit facility, resulting in an accelerated write-off of deferred financing costs of approximately $2.6 million, (ii) higher loan interest expense principally related to an increase in the interest rate for the secured revolving stabilized property credit facility and increase in borrowings under the secured revolving development property credit facility, which was partially offset by a reduction in the outstanding balance of the secured revolving stabilized property credit facility ($1.6 million), (iii) a decrease in the development activity reducing the amount of interest expense capitalized to the development projects ($2.2 million), (iv) a decrease in the gain on sale of land parcel ($0.2 million), (v) a decrease in equity in income of unconsolidated joint venture ($0.3 million) partially offset by (vi) a decrease in mortgage interest expense ($1.9 million) principally related to the transfer of properties to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture.
      Discontinued operations for 2010 and 2009 include the results of operations and, where applicable, gain on sales ($0.2 million) and ($0.3 million), respectively, and impairment charges ($3.3 million) and ($0.7 million), respectively, for 11 of the Company’s drug store/convenience/supermarket anchored centers which it sold, located in Ohio, New York and Maryland.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     The Company funds operating expenses and other liquidity requirements, including debt service, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, preferred and common dividend distributions, if made, and distributions to minority interest partners, primarily from operations. The Company has also used its secured revolving stabilized property credit facility for these purposes. The Company expects to fund liquidity needs for property acquisitions, joint venture requirements, development and/or redevelopment costs, capital improvements, and maturing debt initially with its credit facilities and construction financing, and ultimately through a combination of issuing and/or assuming additional mortgage debt, the sale of equity securities, the issuance of additional OP Units, and the sale of properties or interests therein (including joint venture arrangements).

     Throughout most of 2009 and continuing into 2010, there had been a fundamental contraction of U.S. credit and capital markets, whereby banks and other credit providers tightened their lending standards and severely restricted the availability of credit. While these conditions have abated somewhat, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the availability of mortgage financing on unpledged properties and/or completed development projects, additional construction financing, net proceeds from the contribution of properties to joint ventures, the ability to sell or otherwise dispose properties on favorable terms, or proceeds from the refinancing of existing debt.
     In April 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend payment of cash dividends with respect to its common stock and OP Units for the balance of 2009. This decision was in response to the state of the economy, the difficult retail environment, the constrained capital markets and the need to renew the Company’s secured revolving stabilized property credit facility. In December 2009, following a review of the state of the economy and the Company’s financial position, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to resume payment of a cash dividend in the amount $0.09 per share ($0.36 per share on an annualized basis) on the Company’s common stock.
     In November 2009, the Company closed an amended and restated secured revolving stabilized property credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. as agent, together with three other lead lenders and other participating banks. On September 13, 2010, the Company elected to reduce the total commitments under the facility from $285.0 million to $185.0 million and anticipates saving $0.5 million per annum related to the unused fees payable under the facility and $1.2 million of reduced amortization of deferred financing costs annually through the expected maturity of the facility. The facility is expandable to $400 million, subject principally to acceptable collateral and the availability of additional lender commitments and will expire on January 31, 2012, subject to a one-year extension option. The principal terms of the facility include (i) an availability based primarily on appraisals, with a 67.5% advance rate, (ii) an interest rate based on LIBOR plus 350 bps, with a 200 bps LIBOR floor, (iii) a leverage ratio limited to 67.5% and (iv) an unused portion fee of 50 bps.
     Borrowings outstanding under the facility aggregated $23.5 million at September 30, 2010, bore interest at a rate of 5.5% per annum, and were secured by a pledge of 32 of the Company’s shopping center properties as collateral for such borrowings.
     The secured revolving stabilized property credit facility has been, and will be, used to fund acquisitions, certain development and redevelopment activities, capital expenditures, mortgage repayments, dividend distributions, working capital and other general corporate purposes. The facility is subject to customary financial covenants, including limits on leverage and distributions (limited to 95% of funds from operations, as defined), and other financial statement ratios. Based on covenant measurements and collateral in place as of September 30, 2010, the Company was permitted to draw up to approximately $163.5 million, of which approximately $140.0 million remained available as of that date. As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants and financial statement ratios required by the terms of the secured revolving stabilized property credit facility. On October 26, 2010, the

45


 

Company placed a first mortgage on a property that had previously collateralized the secured revolving stabilized property credit facility. Reflecting this transaction, the amount the Company is permitted to draw under the facility was adjusted from $163.5 million to $154.1 million.
     The Company has a $150 million secured revolving development property credit facility with KeyBank, National Association (as agent) and several other banks, pursuant to which the Company has pledged certain of its development projects and redevelopment properties as collateral for borrowings thereunder. The facility, as amended, is expandable to $250 million, subject principally to acceptable collateral and the availability of additional lender commitments, and will expire in June 2011, subject to a one-year extension option. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the Company’s option at either LIBOR or the agent bank’s prime rate, plus a spread of 225 bps or 75 bps, respectively. Advances under the facility are calculated at the least of 70% of aggregate project costs, 70% of “as stabilized” appraised values, or costs incurred in excess of a 30% equity requirement on the part of the Company. The facility also requires an unused portion fee of 15 bps. This facility has been, and will be, used to fund in part the Company’s and certain joint ventures’ development activities. In order to draw funds under this facility, the Company must meet certain pre-leasing and other conditions. Borrowings outstanding under the facility aggregated $102.9 million at September 30, 2010; such borrowings bore interest at an average rate of 2.5% per annum. As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants and financial statement ratios required by the terms of the secured revolving development property credit facility.
     The Company has a $70.7 million construction facility (as amended on November 3, 2010) with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (as agent) and several other banks, pursuant to which the Company pledged its joint venture development project in Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania as collateral for borrowings made thereunder. The facility is guaranteed by the Company and will expire in September 2011, subject to a one-year extension option. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the Company’s option at either LIBOR plus a spread of 225 bps (amended on November 3, 2010 to 325 bps), or the agent bank’s prime rate. Borrowings outstanding under the facility aggregated $62.6 million at September 30, 2010, and such borrowings bore interest at an average rate of 2.5% per annum. As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants and financial statement ratios required by the terms of the construction facility.
     Property-specific mortgage loans payable at September 30, 2010 consisted of fixed-rate notes totaling $602.6 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.8%, and variable-rate debt totaling $83.6 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.4%. Total mortgage loans payable and secured revolving credit facilities have an overall weighted average interest rate of 5.1% and mature at various dates through 2029. For the remainder of 2010, the Company has approximately $2.0 million of scheduled mortgage repayments and no scheduled balloon payments.
     The terms of several of the Company’s mortgage loans payable require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such “restricted cash” is generally available only for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established, and is not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations.

     The Company and RioCan have entered into an 80% (RioCan) and 20% (Cedar) joint venture (i) initially for the purchase of seven supermarket-anchored properties previously owned by the Company, and (ii) then to acquire additional primarily supermarket-anchored properties in the Company’s primary market areas, in the same joint venture format. The Company transferred the initial seven properties into the joint venture at various times from December 2009 through May 2010 generating approximately $63.6 million of net proceeds and the transfer of approximately $95 million of fixed-rate mortgages. In addition, in April 2010, RioCan exercised its warrant to purchase 1,428,570 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the Company received proceeds of $10.0 million. Net proceeds from the property transfers and the exercise of the warrants were used to repay/reduce the outstanding balances under the Company’s secured revolving credit facilities.
     During 2010, the joint venture has made the following additional acquisitions of properties and placement of debt:
    On January 26, 2010, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture acquired the Town Square Plaza shopping center located in Temple, Pennsylvania, an approximately 128,000 square foot supermarket-anchored shopping center which was completed in 2008. The purchase price for the property, which was unencumbered, was approximately $19.0 million.
 
    On July 2, 2010, the Company placed approximately $33.0 million of mortgage financing, which bears interest at 5.0% per annum, on three previously unencumbered Cedar/RioCan joint venture properties.
 
    On August 3, 2010, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture acquired the Exeter Commons shopping center located in Exeter Township, Pennsylvania, an approximately 361,000 square foot supermarket-anchored shopping center which was completed in 2009. The purchase price for the property was approximately $53.0 million. At the closing the joint venture placed an approximate $30.0 million first mortgage, which bears interest at 5.30% per annum, on the property.
 
    On September 29, 2010, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture acquired the Montville Commons shopping center located in Uncasville, Connecticut, an approximate 118,000 square foot shopping which was completed in 2005. The purchase price for the property, which was unencumbered, was approximately $18.9 million.
 
    On September 29, 2010, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture acquired a five shopping center portfolio for approximately $133.3 million. The five centers, Monroe Marketplace, located in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, Creekview Shopping Center, located in Warrington, Pennsylvania, Pitney Road Plaza, located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Sunrise Plaza, located in Forked River, New Jersey and New River Valley Center, located in Christiansburg, Virginia, comprise approximately 936,000 square feet of primarily supermarket and big box anchored shopping centers. At the closing the joint venture placed an approximate $72.5 million first mortgage, which bears interest at 4.75% per annum, on the five properties.
 
    On October 13, 2010, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture acquired the Cross Keys Place shopping center located in Sewell, New Jersey, an approximately 148,000

47


 

      square foot shopping which was completed in 2007. The purchase price for the property, which was unencumbered, was approximately $26.3 million.
 
    On October 21, 2010, the Cedar/RioCan joint venture acquired a five shopping center portfolio for approximately $91.0 million. The five centers, Gettysburg Marketplace, located in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, York Marketplace, located in York, Pennsylvania, Northland Center, located in State College, Pennsylvania, Marlboro Crossroads, located in Upper Marlboro, Maryland and Towne Crossings, located in Midlothian, Virginia, comprise approximately 678,000 square feet of primarily supermarket and big box anchored shopping centers. The joint venture anticipates arranging fixed-rate financing of approximately $50.6 million on this portfolio subsequent to the closing.
     In connection with the Cedar/RioCan joint venture transactions, the Company earned from the joint venture an acquisition fee of approximately $1.1 million and financing fees of approximately $0.3 million. In addition, the Company incurred fees due its investment advisor of approximately $2.2 million.
     On February 5, 2010, the Company concluded a public offering of 7,500,000 shares of its common stock at $6.60 per share, and realized net proceeds after offering expenses of approximately $47.0 million. On March 3, 2010, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to the extent of 697,800 shares, and the Company realized additional net proceeds of $4.3 million. In connection with the offering, RioCan acquired 1,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, including 100,000 shares acquired in connection with the exercise of the over-allotment option, and the Company realized net proceeds of $8.9 million.
     On February 5, 2010, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that registered the offering of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”). The DRIP offers a convenient method for shareholders to invest cash dividends and/or make optional cash payments to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at 98% of their market value. Through September 30, 2010, the Company issued approximately 927,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $5.65 per share and realized proceeds after expenses of approximately $5.1 million. On October 6, 2010, the Company issued an additional approximate 178,000 shares of its common stock at $6.01 per share and realized net proceeds of approximately $1.1 million.
     The Company has a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA Agreement”) with an investment company for sales of its shares of common stock aggregating up to $45 million over a two-year commitment period expiring in September 2011. Through December 31, 2009, 422,000 shares had been sold pursuant to the SEPA Agreement, at an average price of $5.93 per share, and the Company realized net proceeds, after allocation of other issuance expenses, of approximately $2.3 million. In January and February 2010, an additional 718,000 shares of the Company’s common stock had been sold pursuant to the SEPA Agreement at an average selling price of $6.97 per share, and the Company realized net proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. In April and May 2010, an additional 667,000 shares of the Company’s common stock had been

48


 

sold pursuant to the SEPA Agreement at an average selling price of $7.52 per share, and the Company realized net proceeds of approximately $5.0 million.
     On August 25, 2010, the Company concluded a public offering of 2,850,000 shares of its 8-7/8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable preferred stock at $24.90 per share, and realized net proceeds after offering expenses of approximately $67.3 million. In connection with the sale, the Company’s investment advisor received an underwriter’s discount of approximately $2.4 million.
     The Company expects to have sufficient liquidity to effectively manage its business. Such liquidity sources include, among other things (i) cash on hand, (ii) operating cash flows, (iii) availability under its secured revolving credit facilities, (iv) property-specific financings, (v) sales of properties, (vi) proceeds from contributions of properties to joint ventures, and/or (vii) issuances of additional shares of preferred or common stock.
Net Cash Flows
Operating Activities
     Net cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to $20.2 million and $34.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The comparative changes in operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were primarily the result of the impact of the Cedar/RioCan joint venture transactions, the Company’s property acquisition/disposition program, and continuing development/redevelopment activities.
Investing Activities
     Net cash flows used in investing activities were $5.5 million and $83.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and were primarily the result of the Cedar/RioCan joint venture transactions and the Company’s acquisition/disposition activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company made investments in the Cedar/RioCan joint venture ($30.4 million) and incurred expenditures for property improvements ($20.9 million), offset by proceeds from the transfers of five properties to the Cedar/RioCan joint venture ($31.4 million net of a settlement receivable of $0.9 million), distributions of capital from the Cedar/RioCan joint venture ($7.7 million), the application/return of construction escrows ($4.6 million), and the sales of properties treated as discontinued operations ($2.1 million). During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company acquired two shopping centers and incurred expenditures for property improvements ($86.0 million), offset by the sales of properties treated as discontinued operations ($3.5 million).
Financing Activities
     Net cash flows used in financing activities were $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010; net cash flows provided by financing activities were $50.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. During 2010, the Company had net repayments to its

49


 

revolving credit facilities ($131.2 million), preferred and common stock distributions ($22.4 million), repayment of mortgage obligations ($18.6 million, including $11.0 million of mortgage balloon payments), termination payments relating to interest rate swaps ($5.5 million), redemptions of OP Units ($2.8 million), distributions paid to noncontrolling interests (consolidated minority interest and limited partners — $2.7 million), and the payment of debt financing costs ($1.1 million), offset by the proceeds from sales of preferred and common stock ($138.3 million), the proceeds of mortgage financings ($16.3 million), and the proceeds from the exercise of the RioCan warrant ($10.0 million). During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company received net advance proceeds from its property-specific construction facility and re-financed and placed new first mortgages ($51.6 million), net advance proceeds from its revolving credit facilities ($18.9 million), and contributions from noncontrolling interests (consolidated minority interest partners — $12.2 million), offset by repayment of mortgage obligations ($15.8 million), preferred and common stock dividend distributions ($10.9 million), the payment of financing costs ($2.8 million), and distributions to noncontrolling interests (consolidated minority interest and limited partners — $2.3 million).
Funds From Operations
     Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a widely-recognized non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. In addition, FFO is useful to investors as it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets. Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net income, when trying to understand an equity REIT’s operating performance. The Company presents FFO because the Company considers it an important supplemental measure of its operating performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. Among other things, the Company uses FFO or an adjusted FFO-based measure (i) as a criterion to determine performance-based bonuses for members of senior management, (ii) in performance comparisons with other shopping center REITs, and (iii) to measure compliance with certain financial covenants under the terms of the Loan Agreements relating to the Company’s credit facilities.
     The Company computes FFO in accordance with the “White Paper” on FFO published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which defines FFO as net income applicable to common shareholders (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from debt restructurings and sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for partnerships and joint ventures (which are computed to reflect FFO on the same basis).
     FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income applicable to common shareholders or to cash flow from operating activities. FFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of REITs, as the NAREIT White Paper only provides

50


 

guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of FFO may vary from one company to another. The following table sets forth the Company’s calculations of FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

Inflation
     Low to moderate levels of inflation during the past several years have favorably impacted the Company’s operations by stabilizing operating expenses. However, the Company’s properties have tenants whose leases include expense reimbursements and other provisions to minimize the effect of inflation. At the same time, low inflation has had the indirect effect of reducing the Company’s ability to increase tenant rents upon the signing of new leases and/or lease renewals.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     One of the principal market risks facing the Company is interest rate risk on its credit facilities. The Company may, when advantageous, hedge its interest rate risk using derivative financial instruments. The Company is not subject to foreign currency risk.
     The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily through (i) the variable-rate credit facilities used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures, development/redevelopment activities, and expand its real estate investment portfolio, (ii) property-specific variable-rate construction financing, and (iii) other property-specific variable-rate mortgages. The Company’s objectives with respect to interest rate risk are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on operations and cash flows, and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, the Company occasionally may borrow at fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps, etc., in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related variable-rate financial instrument. The Company does not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Additionally, the Company has a policy of entering into derivative contracts only with major financial institutions. At September 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $20.2 million of mortgage loans payable subject to interest rate swaps which converted LIBOR-based variable rates to fixed annual rates of 5.4% and 6.5% per annum. At that date, the Company had accrued liabilities of $1.9 million (included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet) relating to the fair value of interest rate swaps applicable to these mortgage loans payable.
     At September 30, 2010, long-term debt consisted of fixed-rate mortgage loans payable and variable-rate debt (principally the Company’s variable-rate credit facilities). The average interest rate on the $602.6 million of fixed-rate indebtedness outstanding was 5.8%, with maturities at various dates through 2029. The average interest rate on the $210.0 million of variable-rate debt (including $126.4 million in advances under the Company’s revolving credit facilities) was 3.2%. The secured revolving stabilized property credit facility matures in January 2012, subject to a one-year extension option. The secured revolving development property credit facility matures in June 2011, subject to a one-year extension option. With respect to $186.5 million of variable-rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2010, if interest rates either increase or decrease by 1%, the Company’s interest cost would increase or decrease respectively by approximately $1.9 million per annum. With respect to the remaining $23.5 million of variable-rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2010, represented by the Company’s secured revolving stabilized property credit facility, interest is based on LIBOR with a 200 bps LIBOR floor. Accordingly, if interest rates either increase or decrease by 1%, the Company’s interest cost applicable on this line would increase by approximately $0.2 million per annum only if LIBOR was in excess of 2.0% per annum.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In this regard, the Company has formed a

52


 

Disclosure Committee currently comprised of several of the Company’s executive officers as well as certain other employees with knowledge of information that may be considered in the SEC reporting process. The Committee has responsibility for the development and assessment of the financial and non-financial information to be included in the reports filed with the SEC, and assists the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in connection with their certifications contained in the Company’s SEC filings. The Committee meets regularly and reports to the Audit Committee on a quarterly or more frequent basis. The Company’s principal executive and financial officers have evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010, and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, there have been no changes in the internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls over financial reporting.

If the last number is four or less, the total number shall be rounded down. If the last number is 5 or more, the total number shall be rounded up.
      1.5 Times of Day .
     Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).
      1.6 Letter of Credit Amounts .
     Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided , however , that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
2. LOAN PROVISIONS.
      2.1 General Loan Provisions .
2.1.1 Limit .
     (a) Subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders hereby agree to make revolving loan advances (the “ Loan Advances ”) to the Borrower between the date hereof and the Maturity Date; provided , that the Total Outstandings shall at no time exceed the lesser of (i) the Total Commitment and (ii) the Borrowing Base Value (the lesser of (i) and (ii), the “ Maximum Loan Amount ”). Loan Advances may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
     (b) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and independent and not joint. No Lender shall become obligated to advance more than its Commitment Percentage of the Loan including, without limitation, as a result of the failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder.

32


 

     (c) Provided no Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence, the Borrower shall have the right, on one or more occasions prior to the Maturity Date, to elect to increase the Total Commitment; provided , however , that (i) the amount of each such increase shall not be less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) and (ii) the aggregate amount of all such increases shall not cause the Total Commitment to exceed Four Hundred Million Dollars ($400,000,000). Such right may be exercised by the Borrower by written notice to the Administrative Agent, which election shall designate the requested increased in the Total Commitment. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders), and each Lender shall endeavor to respond as promptly as possible within such time period. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment (which decision shall be in its sole discretion) and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Commitment Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. If the Total Commitment is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “ Increase Effective Date ”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase (with such increase being pro rata among existing Lenders choosing to increase their commitments) and the Increase Effective Date. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article 6 and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.1.1(c), the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.8 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished to the Administrative Agent, and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists. The Borrower shall prepay amounts of the Loan outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.3.15) to the

33


 

extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loan ratable with any revised Commitment Percentages arising from any non-ratable increase in the Commitments under this Section. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 12.2 or 13.4.1 to the contrary.
     2.1.2 Procedures and Limits . Until the Maturity Date, the Lenders shall, subject to the compliance with all of the other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and the absence of any Default or Event of Default at the time of such disbursement, make disbursements to Borrower of Loan Advances in installments in accordance with the following:
     (a) Written Requests . Loan Advances shall be made, at Borrower’s written request to Administrative Agent, not more frequently than four (4) times a month, on the basis of written requests, made in accordance with the method and procedures described in Section 2.1.3 below; and Administrative Agent shall act upon such requests within three (3) Business Days following the receipt of a written request from Borrower for a Loan Advance, which action may include, without limitation, funding the requested Loan Advance or specifying the basis for not funding and, when applicable, requesting additional information and supporting documentation. The date on which any Loan Advance is funded (or Letter of Credit is issued) is herein called a “ Drawdown Date .”
     (b) Requisitions, Certifications . Each request for a Loan Advance shall be in writing and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “ Loan Notice ”). Each such request shall specify (i) the amount of the Loan Advance requested, (ii) the purpose of the Loan Advance requested, (iii) the Total Outstandings (including the funding of the Loan Advance being requested), (iv) the then aggregate remaining amount which may be funded under this Agreement, (v) calculations evidencing the Borrower’s continued compliance with the Financial Covenants, as satisfied by the Closing Compliance Certificate, or once delivered, the most recent Compliance Certificate delivered by the Borrower, (vi) the requested interest rate option and (vii) the Interest Period (if applicable). Each request for a Loan Advance hereunder shall be for (a) a minimum amount as required by Section 2.3.6, and (b) an amount not to exceed (x) the Maximum Loan Amount less (y) the Total Outstandings (after giving effect to such Loan Advance).
     2.1.3 Funding Procedures . Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Drawdown Date and of the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the applicable Loans. In the case of a Loan Advance, each Lender shall make the amount of its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified as the Drawdown Date in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (and, if such Loan Advance is the initial credit extension, Section 5.1), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received

34


 

available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided , however , that if, on the date the Loan Notice with respect to such Loan Advance is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Loan Advance, first , shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second , shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

The Loan shall be for a term (the “ Initial Term ”) commencing on the date hereof and ending on January 31, 2012 (the “ Initial Maturity Date ”) or such earlier date as the Loan is accelerated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement upon an Event of Default. The Initial Term may be extended for one year (“ Extended Term ”) until January 31, 2013 (“ Extended Maturity Date ”) upon satisfaction of the following conditions (hereinafter, the Initial Maturity Date and the Extended Maturity Date may be referred to herein sometimes as the “ Maturity Date ” as may be applicable):

35


 

     (f) Appraisals . The Administrative Agent shall have obtained an Appraisal (which may be an existing Appraisal if performed not more than twelve (12) months prior to the Initial Maturity Date) on each Borrowing Base Property.
     (g) Additional Documents . The Borrower and the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent such agreements and documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require incident to the extension.
     Within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Borrower’s written notice under clause 2.2.1(b) above requesting the extension accompanied by those of the items described above which are then available, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower in writing if all of the conditions precedent to the extension, other than payment of the Extension Fee, have been satisfied, or if further information, certificates or work are required. If the Administrative Agent determines that the conditions to extension have been satisfied, other than payment of the Extension Fee, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Extension Fee not later than five (5) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, the term of the Loan shall be extended until the Extended Maturity Date.
     2.2.2 Termination/Reduction of Commitments .
     (a) The Borrower shall have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to the originally scheduled Maturity Date by providing the Administrative Agent with ten (10) days’ written notice of the Borrower’s intention to terminate this Agreement (the date of such termination being the “ Borrower Termination Date ”). In the event that the Borrower provides such written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) as of the date of the notice, the Lenders shall have no further obligation to make or issue, and the Borrower shall have no further right to receive or request, any Credit Extension hereunder, and (ii) the Borrower shall be obligated on the Borrower Termination Date to (x) pay in full all accrued interest, principal and other charges due with respect to the Loan, including, without limitation, any Breakage Fees due on account of such payment and (y) either (1) provide Administrative Agent with cash collateral equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the outstanding amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit from a source other than the proceeds of the Loan or (2) return all outstanding Letters of Credit to the Administrative Agent. If such cash collateral is posted, such funds shall be held in an interest bearing account at the Administrative Agent, shall be pledged to secure the Obligations, and shall be refunded on a dollar for dollar basis to the Borrower upon the return to the Administrative Agent, or the expiration, of each Letter of Credit.
     (b) The Borrower shall have the right to reduce the Total Commitment to an amount not less than $150,000,000 prior to the originally scheduled Maturity Date by providing the Administrative Agent with ten (10) days’ written

36


 

notice of the Borrower’s intention to reduce the Total Commitment (the date of such reduction being the “ Borrower Reduction Date ”). In the event that the Borrower provides such written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) as of the date of the notice, the Lenders shall have no further obligation to make or issue, and the Borrower shall have no further right to receive or request, any Loans or any Letters of Credit such that the Total Outstandings, would exceed such reduced Total Commitment, and (ii) the Borrower shall be obligated on the Borrower Reduction Date to pay in full the excess of outstanding principal balance of the Loan over the reduced Total Commitment, including, without limitation, any Breakage Fees due on account of such payment. In order to effect such reduced Total Commitment, the Administrative Agent shall reduce the Lenders’ Commitments on a pro rata basis.
      2.3 Interest Rate and Payment Terms . The Loan shall be payable as to interest and principal in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement also provides for interest at a Default Rate, Late Charges and prepayment rights and fees. All payments for the account of Lenders shall be applied to the respective accounts of the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loan. Any and all interest rate selection and conversion provisions in this Agreement are to be administered by the Administrative Agent and to be allocated on a pro rata basis to the portion of the balance held by each Lender based upon such Lender’s Commitment Percentage.
     2.3.1 Borrower’s Options . Principal amounts outstanding under the Loan shall bear interest at the following rates, at Borrower’s selection, subject to the conditions and limitations provided for in this Agreement: (i) Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (ii) LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Borrower’s right to select pricing options shall cease upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default.
     2.3.2 Selection To Be Made . Borrower shall select, and thereafter may change the selection of, the applicable interest rate, from the alternatives otherwise provided for in this Agreement, by giving Administrative Agent a Loan Notice (in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3.3, below): (i) three (3) Business Days prior to each Loan Advance, (ii) three (3) Business Days prior to the end of each Interest Period applicable to a LIBO Rate Advance which shall be continued as a LIBO Rate Advance, or (iii) three (3) Business Days prior to any Business Day on which Borrower desires to convert an outstanding Base Rate Advance to a LIBO Rate Advance.
     2.3.3 Notice . Each Loan Advance, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of a LIBO Rate Advance shall be made upon the Authorized Officer’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) with respect to a LIBO Rate Advance, three (3) Business Days prior to, or (ii) with respect to a Base Rate Advance, the requested date of any Loan Advance, conversion or continuation. Each telephonic notice pursuant to this Section 2.3.3 must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.

37


 

     2.3.4 If No Notice . If the Borrower fails to select an interest rate option in accordance with the foregoing prior to a Loan Advance, or at least three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period of an outstanding LIBO Rate Advance, or if a LIBO Rate Advance is not available, any new Loan Advance made shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Advance, and on the last day of the applicable Interest Period all outstanding principal amounts of the applicable LIBO Rate Advance shall be deemed converted to a Base Rate Advance.
     2.3.5 Telephonic Notice . Without any way limiting the Borrower’s obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each case the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic Loan Notice in the absence of manifest error.
     2.3.6 Limits On Options . Each LIBO Rate Advance shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and each Base Rate Advance shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. At no time shall there be outstanding a total of more than six (6) LIBO Rate Advances outstanding at any time.
     2.3.7 Payment and Calculation of Interest . All interest shall be payable in arrears commencing December 1, 2009 and on the first Business Day of each month thereafter until the principal together with all interest and other charges payable with respect to the Loan shall be fully paid. All computations of interest for Base Rate Advances shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.3.11, bear interest for one day. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding, under any Debtor Relief Law.
     2.3.8 Mandatory Principal Payments . If, on any day, the Total Outstandings exceed the Maximum Loan Amount, then the Borrower shall make a principal payment to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in the amount of such excess, including any amounts required to be paid under Section 2.3.15 in immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days of demand from the Administrative Agent (a “ Mandatory Principal Payment ”); provided, however, that if during such ten (10) Business Day period, the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent Funding Evidence, such ten (10) Business Day period shall be extended for such additional time as the Administrative Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, to be required by the

38


 

Borrower to make the Mandatory Principal Payment but in no event shall such period exceed a maximum of sixty (60) days from the date that the Mandatory Principal Payment would otherwise be due hereunder.
     2.3.9 Prepayment . The Loan or any portion thereof may be prepaid in full or in part at any time upon two (2) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent without premium or penalty with respect to Base Rate Advances and, with respect to LIBO Rate Advances, subject to payment of any applicable Breakage Fee. Any amounts prepaid may be reborrowed subject to the terms hereof.
     2.3.10 Maturity . At Maturity all accrued interest, principal and other charges due with respect to the Loan shall be due and payable in full and the principal balance and such other charges, including unpaid interest, shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, continue to bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate until so paid.
     2.3.11 Method of Payment; Date of Credit; Administrative Agent’s Clawback .
     (a) General . All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Commitment Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent . Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any LIBO Rate Advance (or, in the case of any Base Rate Advance, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Loan Advance) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loan Advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1 (or, in the case of a Base Rate Advance, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.1) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan Advance available to the Administrative

39


 

Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Advances. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan Advance to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Loan Advance and the Borrower shall have no further obligation with respect thereto under this Section 2.3.11(b)(i) in respect of such Lender’s share of the Loan Advance; it being understood that such amount advanced by such Lender shall constitute a Loan for all purposes hereunder. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
     (ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent . Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder, stating that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

40


 

     A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
     (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent . If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan Advance to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Section 5 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
     (d) Funding Source . Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan Advance in any particular place or manner.
     2.3.12 Billings . The Administrative Agent may submit monthly billings reflecting payments due; however, any changes in the interest rate which occur between the date of billing and the due date may be reflected in the billing for a subsequent month. Neither the failure of the Administrative Agent to submit a billing nor any error in any such billing shall excuse the Borrower from the obligation to make full payment of all the Borrower’s payment obligations when due.
     2.3.13 Default Rate .
     (a) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing pursuant to Section 10.1.1, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
     (b) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any other Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
     (c) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
     2.3.14 Late Charges . The Borrower shall pay a late charge (herein, the “ Late Charge ”) equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of any interest which is not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof. Late charges are: (a) payable in addition to, and not in limitation of, the Default Rate, (b) intended to compensate the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for administrative and processing costs incident to late payments,

41


 

(c) are not interest, and (d) shall not be subject to refund or rebate or credited against any other amount due.
     2.3.15 Breakage Fees . The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, immediately upon request and notwithstanding contrary provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents, such amounts as shall, in the conclusive judgment of the Administrative Agent (in the absence of manifest error), compensate the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the loss, cost or expense which it may reasonably incur as a result of (i) any payment or prepayment, under any circumstances whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, of all or any portion of a LIBO Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period of a LIBO Rate Advance, (ii) the conversion, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any LIBO Rate Advance to a Base Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) the failure of all or a portion of a Loan Advance which was to have borne interest at the LIBO Rate pursuant to the request of the Borrower to be made under the Loan Agreement (except as a result of any act or omission of Lender), or (iv) the failure of the Borrower to borrow in accordance with any request submitted by it for a LIBO Rate Advance. Such amounts payable by the Borrower shall be equal to any administrative costs actually incurred plus any amounts required to compensate for any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to fund or maintain a LIBO Rate Advance (herein, collectively, the “ Breakage Fee ”). A certificate from a Lender provided to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent setting forth the calculation and amount of its Breakage Fee shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
      2.4 Loan Fees .
     2.4.1 Loan Fees . The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the parties specified therein the various fees in accordance with the Fee Letter.
     2.4.2 Line Fee . The Borrower agrees to pay an unused line fee (the “ Line Fee ”) to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders. The amount of the Line Fee on any given day shall equal the Line Percentage multiplied by the amount on such day by which the Total Commitments exceed the Total Outstandings. The Line Fee shall be payable to the Administrative Agent quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof, with a final payment on the Maturity Date and the first and last payments to be prorated based upon the partial calendar quarters to which they apply.
      2.5 [Reserved].

42


 

      2.6 Additional Provisions Related to Interest Rate Selection .
2.6.1 Increased Costs . If any Change in Law shall:
     (a) 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 credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBO Rate) or the L/C Issuer;
     (b) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBO Rate Advance made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof; or
     (c) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBO Rate Advances 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 of making or maintaining any LIBO Rate Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer 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 or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, promptly upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. A certificate from a Lender provided to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent setting forth such amounts together with calculations thereof shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
     2.6.2 Capital Requirements . If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments 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 L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time (and in any event within twenty (20) days) the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such

additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. A certificate from a Lender provided to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent setting forth such amounts together with calculations thereof shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
     2.6.3 Illegality . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or Governmental Authority shall assert by directive, guideline or otherwise, that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain LIBO Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain LIBO Rate Advances, and such Lender, without cost or expense, cannot hold or administer its Commitment from an office where maintaining and funding LIBO Rate Advances can be accomplished, then, on written notice thereof and demand by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, (a) the obligation of the Administrative Agent to make LIBO Rate Advances and to convert or continue any Loan as LIBO Rate Advances shall terminate and (b) at the end of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower shall convert all principal outstanding under this Agreement into Base Rate Advances.
2.6.4 Availability . If, before or after the Borrower has selected to take or maintain a LIBO Rate Advance, but before the Interest Period with respect thereto commences, the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that:
     (a) Dollar deposits in the amount and for the maturity requested are not available to the Lenders in the London interbank market at the rate specified in the definition of LIBO Rate set forth above, or
     (b) reasonable means do not exist for the Administrative Agent to determine the LIBO Rate for the amounts and maturity requested,
then the principal which would have been a LIBO Rate Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance.
     2.6.5 Base Rate Advances . Each Base Rate Advance shall continue as a Base Rate Advance until Maturity of the Loan, unless sooner converted, in whole or in part, to a LIBO Rate Advance, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
     2.6.6 Delay in Requests . Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in Law giving rise to

44


 

such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
     2.6.7 Mitigation .
     (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office . If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.6, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.8, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.8 or 2.6.1, 2.6.2, as the case may be, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.
     (b) Replacement of Lenders . If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.6.1 or 2.6.2, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 13.2.4.
     2.6.8 Survival . All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.6 shall survive termination of the Total Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.
      2.7 Letters of Credit .
2.7.1 The Letter of Credit Commitment .
     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.7, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or Borrower Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.7.2 below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower, Borrower Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Total Commitment, (y) the

45


 

aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.
     (b) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:
     (i) subject to Section 2.7.2(c), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or
     (ii) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date, subject to Section 2.7.7.
     (c) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
     (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Legal Requirement applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;
     (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer;

46


 

     (iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $25,000;
     (iv) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;
     (v) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or
     (vi) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.7.3 exists or any Lender is at such time an Impacted Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender, subject to the provisions of Section 13.2.4.
     (d) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
     (e) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article 13 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article 13 included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
     2.7.2 Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit .
     (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit

47


 

Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
     (b) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 5.2 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or the applicable Borrower Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
     (c) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “ Auto-Extension Letter of Credit ”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “ Non-Extension Notice Date ”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require)

48


 

the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date unless all the Lenders have approved such later expiry date, subject to Section 2.7.7; provided , however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.7.1 or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
     (d) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “ Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit ”). Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “ Non-Reinstatement Deadline ”), the L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 are not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.
     (e) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

49


 

2.7.3 Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations .
     (a) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “ Honor Date ”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “ Unreimbursed Amount ”), and the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Advance to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.1 for the principal amount of the Loan, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Total Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 5.2. Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.7.3(a) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
     (b) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.7.3(a) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.7.3(c), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Advance to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.
     (c) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Loan Advance because the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.7.3 (b) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.7.
     (d) Until each Lender funds its Commitment Percentage of any Loan Advance or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.7.3 to reimburse the L/C

50


 

Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.
     (e) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loan Advances or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.7.3, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Loan Advances pursuant to this Section 2.7.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2. No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
     (f) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7.3 by the time specified in Section 2.7.3(b), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.7.4 Repayment of Participations .
     (a) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.7.3, if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

51


 

     (b) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.7.3(a) is required to be returned under any of the provisions of this Agreement (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
     2.7.5 Obligations Absolute . The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
     (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
     (b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
     (c) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving 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 drawing under such Letter of Credit;
     (d) any payment by the L/C 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; or any payment made by the L/C 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, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
     (e) 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, the Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary.

52


 

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will, immediately after discovery thereof, notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
     2.7.6 Role of L/C Issuer . Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C 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 L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C 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 or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes 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 Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 2.7.5 provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C 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 L/C 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.
     2.7.7 Cash Collateral . Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower

53


 

shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. For purposes of this Agreement, “ Cash Collateralize ” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances (the “ Cash Collateral ”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all such Cash Collateral and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America.
     2.7.8 Applicability of ISP . Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.
     2.7.9 Letter of Credit Fees . The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Commitment Percentage an annual Letter of Credit fee (the “ Letter of Credit Fee ”) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Advances times the maximum stated amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.7.13. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. The first and last payments of such Letter of Credit fee are to be prorated based upon the partial calendar quarters to which they apply. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Advances during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each standby Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Advances separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
     2.7.10 Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer . The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee (i) with respect to each Letter of Credit, of one eighth of one percent (.125%) per annum, computed on the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the maximum stated amount

54


 

available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.7.13. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
     2.7.11 Conflict with Issuer Documents . In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
     2.7.12 Letters of Credit Issued for Borrower Subsidiaries . Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Borrower Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Borrower Subsidiaries.
     2.7.13 Amount . Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided , however , that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.

The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

102


 

     (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and
     (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan Advance, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary

103


 

from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
     13.1.8 Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification .

If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the action indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.
     13.1.9 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity . The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise

expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, CSC or any Borrower Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders..
     13.1.10 Successor Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with and, if such appointment is prior to the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, with the prior approval of, the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, 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 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, at the direction and with the consent of the Borrower, on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring 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 security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) 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 L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.

The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 15.9 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

105


 

     Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C 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 L/C Issuer, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C 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 arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
     13.1.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim . In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) 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 Loan, L/C Obligations 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 Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4, 2.7.9, 2.7.10 and 15.9) 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 Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4 and 15.9.
     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

106


 

     13.1.12 Collateral and Guaranty Matters . The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
     (a) to release or assign any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is (1) sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (2) refinanced or to be refinanced as permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 13.4.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;
     (b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.4.6; and
     (c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary or an owner of a Borrowing Base Property as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.
     Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will promptly confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 13.1.12.
      13.2 Respecting Loans and Payments .
     13.2.1 Adjustments . If, after the Administrative Agent has paid each Lender’s proportionate share of any payment received or applied by the Administrative Agent in respect of the Loan and other Obligations, that payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by the Administrative Agent, whether pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law, sharing of payments clause of any loan agreement or otherwise, such Lender shall, at the Administrative Agent’s request, promptly return its proportionate share of such payment or application to the Administrative Agent, together with such Lender’s proportionate share of any interest or other amount required to be paid by the Administrative Agent with respect to such payment or application.
     13.2.2 Setoff . If any Lender (including the Administrative Agent), acting in its individual capacity, shall exercise any right of setoff against a deposit balance or other account of the Borrower held by such Lender on account of the obligations of the Borrower under this Loan Agreement, such Lender shall remit to the Administrative Agent all such sums received pursuant to the exercise of such right of setoff, and the

107


 

Administrative Agent shall apply all such sums for the benefit of all of the Lenders hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement.
     13.2.3 Distribution by the Administrative Agent . If in the opinion of the Administrative Agent distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve any liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or has been resolved by the mutual consent of all Lenders. In addition, the Administrative Agent may request full and complete indemnity, in form and substance satisfactory to it, prior to making any such distribution. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over to the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.
     13.2.4 Defaulting Lender . If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 2.6.1 or 2.6.2, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then in addition to, and not in limitation of, the rights and remedies that may be available to the Borrower at law or in equity, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.3), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
     (a) the Administrative Agent shall be paid the assignment fee specified in Section 13.3.2(d);
     (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.3.15) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
     (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Sections 2.6.1 or 2.6.2 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.8, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
     (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

108


 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
     13.2.5 Holders . The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender designated in the Register as the proportionate owner of such interest in the Obligations for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any designated interest in the Obligations shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such interest in the Obligations.
      13.3 Assignments by Lenders .
     13.3.1 Successors and Assigns Generally . The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection 13.3.2 of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection 13.3.4 of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection 13.3.6 of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection 13.3.6 of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

109


 

     (ii) in any case not described in subsection 13.3.2(a)(i) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided , however , that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.
     (b) Proportionate Amounts . Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.
     (c) Required Consents . No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection 13.3.2(a)(ii) of this Section and, in addition:

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 13.2.3 of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.8, 2.6.1, 2.6.2, 2.3.15, and 15.9 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender; provided that such new Note shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall be otherwise in the form of Exhibit B. To the extent a Lender has assigned all of its Commitment and Loans, it covenants to return any outstanding Note to the Borrower or to provide a lost note indemnity in lieu thereof. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section.
     13.3.3 Register . The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

111


 

     13.3.4 Participations . Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or CSC or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s or CSC’s 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 (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
     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, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to 13.4.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection 13.3.5 of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.8, 2.6.1, 2.6.2 and 2.3.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection 13.3.2 of this Section. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender.
     13.3.5 Limitations upon Participant Rights . A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.8, 2.3.15, 2.6.1 or 2.6.2 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent, provided in no instance shall the Borrower’s Obligations be increased as a result thereof. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.8 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant complies with Section 2.8.5 as though it were a Lender.
     13.3.6 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 (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment or foreclosure with respect to any 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.

112


 

     13.3.7 Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection 13.3.2 above, Bank of America may, upon 30 days notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided , however , that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Advances or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.7.4). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (b) the successor L/C 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 arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

This Loan Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents may only be amended, terminated, extended or otherwise modified by a writing signed by the party against which enforcement is sought (except no such writing shall be required for any party which, pursuant to a specific provision of any Loan Document, is required to be bound by changes without such party’s assent). In no event shall any oral agreements, promises, actions, inactions, knowledge, course of conduct, course of dealings or the like be effective to amend, terminate, extend or otherwise modify this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
      15.17 Monthly Statements . While the Administrative Agent may issue invoices or other statements on a monthly or periodic basis (a “ Statement ”), it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent to issue any Statement on one or more occasions shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations to make payments under the Loan Documents as and when due; (ii) the inaccuracy of any Statement shall not be binding upon Lenders and so the Borrower shall always remain obligated to pay the full amount(s) required under the Loan Documents as and when due notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Statement; (iii) all Statements are issued for information purposes only and shall never constitute any type of offer, acceptance, modification, or waiver of the Loan Documents or any of Lenders’ rights or remedies thereunder; and (iv) in no event shall any Statement serve as the basis for, or a component of, any course of dealing, course of conduct, or trade practice which would modify, alter, or otherwise affect the express written terms of the Loan Documents.
      15.18 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility . In connection with all aspects of each transaction completed hereby, the Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other

126


 

services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, on the other hand, and the Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
      15.19 USA PATRIOT Act . Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “ Act ”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.
      15.20 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality . Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives to the extent such parties require such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.1.1 or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative

127


 

transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.
     For purposes of this Section, “ Information ” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.
      15.21 Amendment and Restatement of Existing Loan Agreement . The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the lenders party to the Existing Loan Agreement each hereby agrees that, at such time as this Agreement shall have become effective, the Existing Loan Agreement automatically shall be deemed replaced and superseded by this Agreement and the Borrower and the lenders party to the Existing Loan Agreement shall no longer have any obligations thereunder (other than those obligations in the Existing Loan Agreement that expressly survive the termination of the Existing Loan Agreement) and instead all obligations under the Existing Loan Agreement are now evidenced by this Agreement. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that this Agreement not operate as a novation of the obligations under the Existing Loan Agreement and shall not operate as a novation or waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or any Lender. The Security Documents with respect to the existing Borrowing Base Properties and the existing Borrowing Base Property Owners (as applicable) continue to create a valid security interest in, and Lien upon, the Collateral described therein, in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders to secure the Obligations under this Agreement.

An actual insurance policy or certified copy thereof, or a binder, certificate of insurance, or other evidence of property coverage in the form of Acord 27 (Evidence of Property Coverage), Acord 25 (Certificate of Insurance), or a 30-day binder in form acceptable to Administrative Agent with an unconditional undertaking to deliver the policy or a certified copy within thirty (30) days, shall be delivered at closing of the Loan and prior to the first Loan Advance.
     Flood insurance shall be provided if the property or the collateral is located in a flood zone, flood risk or flood hazard area as designated pursuant to the Federal Flood Disaster Protection Act

     Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall be named as first mortgagee on policies of all-risk-type insurance on the Collateral Property, as loss payee on the Collateral and its contents, and as first mortgagee on rent-loss or business interruption coverages related thereto.
     Except with respect to public liability insurance, as to which Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall be named as an additional insured with respect to the Collateral Property or the Collateral, all other required insurance coverages shall have a so-called “Mortgagee’s endorsement” or “Lenders’ loss-payable endorsement” which shall provide in substance as follows:

     B. The insurance under the policy, or under any rider or endorsement attached thereto, as to the interest only of Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, shall not be invalidated nor suspended:

     (b) by the commencement of foreclosure or similar proceedings or the giving of notice of sale of any of the property covered by the policy by virtue of any mortgage, deed of trust, or security interest; or
     (c) by any breach of warranty, act, omission, neglect, or noncompliance with any provisions of the policy by the named insured, or any one else, whether before or after a loss, which under the provisions of the policy of insurance, would invalidate or suspend the insurance as to the named insured, excluding, however, any acts or omissions of Administrative Agent while exercising active control and management of the insured property.
     C. Insurer shall provide Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders with not less than thirty (30) days, prior written notice of cancellation of the policy (for non-payment or any other reason) or of the non-renewal thereof.
     D. The insurer reserves the right to cancel the policy at any time, but only as provided by its terms. However, in such case this policy shall continue in force for the

 


 

benefit of Administrative Agent for thirty (30) days after written notice of such cancellation is received by Administrative Agent and shall then cease.
     E. Should legal title to and beneficial ownership of any of the property covered under the policy become vested in Administrative Agent or its agents, successors or assigns, insurance under the policy shall continue for the term thereof for the benefit of Administrative Agent.
     F. All notices herein provided to be given by the insurer to Administrative Agent in connection with this policy and Administrative Agent’s loss payable endorsement shall be mailed to or delivered to Administrative Agent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, as follows:

or any Lender is required to disgorge or return any payment or property received as a result of any laws pertaining to preferences, fraudulent transfers or fraudulent conveyances.

     (a) all suretyship defenses and defenses in the nature thereof;
     (b) any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of the assets of Borrower or of any Collateral, or to cause Agent to proceed against any of the other security for the Guaranteed Obligations or the Obligations before proceeding under this Guaranty against Guarantor, or, if there shall be more than one Guarantor, to require Agent to proceed against any other Guarantor or any of Guarantors in any particular order;
     (c) until satisfaction in full of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders, and the satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, all rights and remedies, including, but not limited to, any rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, exoneration or indemnification pursuant to any agreement, express or implied, or now or hereafter accorded by applicable law to indemnitors, guarantors, sureties or accommodation parties; provided, however, unless Agent otherwise expressly agrees in writing, such waiver by any particular Guarantor shall not be effective to the extent that by virtue thereof such Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty or under any other Loan Document is rendered invalid, voidable, or unenforceable under any applicable state or federal law dealing with the recovery or avoidance of so-called preferences or fraudulent transfers or conveyances or otherwise;
     (d) notice of the acceptance hereof, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, or any and all notice of nonpayment, nonperformance, nonobservance or default, or other proof or notice of demand whereby to charge Guarantor therefor;

EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW,

 


 

GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. GUARANTOR CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT AGENT OR ANY LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER.

provided, however, unless Agent otherwise expressly agrees in writing, such waiver by Guarantor shall not be effective to the extent that by virtue thereof Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty or under any other Loan Document is rendered invalid, voidable, or unenforceable under any applicable state or federal law dealing with the recovery or avoidance of so-called preferences or fraudulent conveyances or otherwise.

At any time, from and after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent or any Lender may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Guarantor even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Loan. Within five (5) Business Days of making any such set-off, Agent agrees to notify Guarantor thereof, provided that the failure by Agent to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the organizational structure of the Borrower, or upon the exercise by the Borrower or Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Interests, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Interests with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but Agent shall have no duty to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
     (c) The rights of Agent hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by Agent of any right or remedy against the Borrower or against any other person or entity which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any other Collateral, any security therefor, any guarantee thereof, or right of offset with respect thereto. Agent shall not be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall it be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Borrower or any other person or entity or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.
     9.  Actions By Agent . The Borrower hereby designates Agent as the attorney-in-fact of the Borrower to: (a) endorse in favor of Agent any of the Collateral following an Event of Default which is continuing; (b) cause the transfer of any of the Collateral in such name as Agent may from time to time determine following an Event of Default which is continuing; (c) renew, extend or roll over any Collateral following an Event of Default which is continuing; (d) make, demand and initiate actions to enforce any of the Collateral or rights therein following an Event of Default which is continuing; and (e) take any other action to effectuate the terms and provisions of this Pledge Agreement following an Event of Default which is continuing. Following an Event of Default which is continuing, Agent may take such action with respect to the Collateral as Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to protect and preserve its interest in the Collateral. Except as otherwise provided herein, all of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions included in this Section 9 may be exercised by Agent whether or not the Obligations are then due provided that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The within designation and grant of power of attorney is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the lien created by this Pledge Agreement is terminated by a written instrument executed by a duly authorized officer of Agent or is required to be so terminated by the terms of the Loan Agreement. The power of attorney shall not be affected by subsequent disability or incapacity of the Borrower. Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission to act pursuant to this Section 9, except for any act or omission to act which is in actual bad faith, or constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     10.  Remedies .
     (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted in this Pledge Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the

 


 

Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below or required by the Loan Agreement) to or upon the Borrower, or any other person or entity (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements or notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Agent shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the UCC, need Agent account for, and/or turnover, any surplus to the Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands Borrower may acquire against Agent arising out of the exercise by Agent of any of its rights hereunder, except for any claims, damages and demands Borrower may have against Agent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. The Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Agent to collect such deficiency.
     (b) If any Event of Default, or other event which would entitle Agent or any of the Lenders to accelerate the Loan, occurs and is continuing, any deposits, balances or other sums credited by or due from Agent, or any of the Lenders, or from any affiliate of Agent or any of the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates, to the Borrower may, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law at any time or from time to time, without regard to the existence, sufficiency or adequacy of any other collateral, and without notice or compliance with any other condition precedent now or hereafter imposed by statute, rule of law or otherwise, all of which are hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by law, be set off, appropriated and applied by Agent against any or all of the Obligations irrespective of whether demand shall have been made and although

 


 

such Obligations may be unmatured, in such manner as Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may determine. Within three (3) Business Days of making any such set off, appropriation or application, Agent agrees to notify Borrower thereof, provided the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off or appropriation or application. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
     11.  Private Sales .
     (a) The Borrower recognizes that Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to Agent than if such sale were a public sale. Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the Borrower to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Borrower would agree to do so.
     (b) From and after the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an Event of Default, the Borrower further agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Interests pursuant to this Section 11 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable requirements of law; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to register the Pledged Interests for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws. The Borrower further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 11 will cause irreparable injury to Agent, that Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 11 shall be specifically enforceable against, the Borrower, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, and other similar laws of general applicability affecting creditor’s rights and general equity principles, and the Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred with respect to the Obligations.
     12.  Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral . Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Agent deals with similar securities and property for its own account. Neither Agent nor any of its directors,

 


 

officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Borrower, or otherwise.
     13.  Financing Statements; Other Documents .
     (a) This Pledge Agreement constitutes an authenticated record, and the Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral, without the signature of Borrower, in such filing offices as the Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate, and the Borrower shall pay the Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
     (b) The Borrower hereby agrees that a carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of this Pledge Agreement or of a financing statement signed by the Borrower shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed as a financing statement in any and all jurisdictions.
     (c) The Borrower agrees to deliver any other document or instrument which Agent may reasonably request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Pledge Agreement or with respect to the Collateral for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Pledge Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.
     14.  Powers Coupled with an Interest . All authorizations and agencies and powers herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
     15.  Security Interest Absolute . All rights of the Agent hereunder, the grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of the Borrower, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (ii) any change in time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Loan Agreement or any other agreement or instrument, (iii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to (other than the defense of indefeasible payment), or a discharge of, the Borrower in respect of the Obligations or in respect of this Pledge Agreement.
     16.  Fees and Expenses . To the extent provided in the Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts or agents which the Agent or any Lender may incur in connection with (i) the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (ii) during the continuance of an Event of Default, the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent hereunder. Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder or thereunder shall be additional obligations secured hereby.

 


 

     17.  Termination . Upon the payment in full of the Obligations, in immediately available funds, including, without limitation, all unreimbursed costs and expenses, for which the Borrower is responsible, of the Agent and of each Lender, the Agent shall release the Collateral granted to the Agent as provided for herein. However, such release by the Agent shall not be deemed to terminate or release the Borrower from any obligation or liability under this Pledge Agreement which specifically by its terms survives the payment in full of the Obligations.
     18.  Severability . Any provision of this Pledge Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
     unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
     19.  Paragraph Headings . The paragraph headings used in this Pledge Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Pledge Agreement.
     20.  No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies . Agent shall not by any act, delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
     21.  Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns; Governing Law; Venue . None of the terms or provisions of this Pledge Agreement may be waived, amended, or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the party against which enforcement of such waiver, amendment, or modification is sought. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower and Agent, and the successors and assigns of each, and shall inure to the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and their successors and assigns, and to the benefit of the Borrower and the Borrower’s successors and permitted assigns; provided that the Borrower shall not have any right to (i) assign this Pledge Agreement or any interest herein, or (ii) assign any interest in the Collateral or any part thereof, or otherwise pledge, encumber or grant any option with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or any cash or property held by the Borrower as Collateral under this Pledge Agreement if any such assignment, pledge, encumbrance or grant would constitute a violation of the Loan Agreement. The rights of Agent under this Pledge Agreement shall automatically be transferred to any transferee to which Agent transfers the Note and the Loan Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof. The construction, interpretation, validity, enforceability and effect of all provisions of this Pledge Agreement including, but not limited to, the payment of the Obligations and the legality of the interest rate and other charges shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

     23.  Notices . All notices required or permitted to be given under this pledge Agreement shall be in conformance with Section 15.1 of the Loan Agreement
     24.  Entire Understanding . Agent acknowledges that this Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents and Security Documents set forth the entire agreement and understanding of Agent and the Borrower with respect to the Loan and that no oral or other agreements, understanding, representation or warranties exist with respect to the Loan, other than those set forth in this Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

     (XXXIX) COVENANTS . THE ASSIGNOR SHALL COMPLY WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO ALL PRESENT AND FUTURE LEASES OF THE PROPERTY.
     (XL)  FURTHER TERMS, COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS . THIS ASSIGNMENT IS MADE ON THE FOLLOWING TERMS, COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS:
     a. Prior to Default . So long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) exists (hereinafter, collectively, a “Continuing Default”): Assignor shall have the right and license to manage and operate the Property and to collect at the time of, but not more than one (1) month prior to (except for security deposits and first or last month’s rent taken in the usual course of business -pursuant to the Leases), the date provided for the payment thereof, all rents, income and profits arising under the Leases or from the premises described therein and, subject to the provisions of the other Loan Documents, to retain, use and enjoy the same.
     b. After Default . At any time when a Continuing Default exists, Agent, without in any way waiving such default, may at its option, without notice (except for the notice of default), and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations secured hereby and by the Mortgage revoke the right and license granted above to Assignor and:
     1. Authorize and direct the lessees named in any existing Leases or any other or future lessees or occupants of the Property, upon receipt from Agent of written notice to the effect that Agent is or the Lenders are then the holder of the Mortgage and this Assignment and that a Continuing Default exists thereunder, to pay over to Agent all rents, income and profits arising or accruing under the Leases or from the Property and to continue to do so until otherwise notified in writing by Agent. Assignor agrees that every lessee and occupant shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request by Agent that lessee or occupant shall pay such rents to Agent without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Continuing Default actually exists notwithstanding any notice from or claim of Assignor to the contrary and that Assignor shall have no right or claim against lessees or occupants for any such rent so paid by lessees or occupants to Agent after such notice to the lessee or occupant by Agent;
     2. Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceedings, or by a receiver appointed by a court, take possession of the Property and have, hold, manage, lease and operate the same on such terms and for such period of time as Agent may reasonably deem proper and, either with or without taking possession of the Property in its own name, demand, sue for, or otherwise collect and receive, all rents, income and profits of the Property, including those past due and unpaid, with full power to make from time to time all improvements,

 


 

alterations, renovations, repairs and replacements thereto or thereof as may seem proper to Agent; and
     3. Apply such rents, income and profits to the payment of:
     a. all reasonable expenses of managing the Property including, without being limited thereto, the salaries, fees and wages of a managing agent and such other employees as Agent may deem necessary, and all expenses of operating and maintaining the Property, including, without being limited thereto, all taxes, charges, claims, assessments, water rents, sewer rents and other liens, and premiums for all insurance which Agent may deem necessary, the payment or refund of security deposits, or interest thereon, and the cost of all improvements, alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements, and all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Property; and
     b. all sums which Assignor is responsible to pay under the Mortgage, and the principal sum, interest and indebtedness secured hereby and by the Mortgage, and all other Obligations together with all reasonable costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, in such order of priority as to any of the items mentioned in this clause (b), as Agent in its sole discretion may determine, any statute, law, custom, or use to the contrary notwithstanding.
The exercise by Agent of the option granted it in this Section b and the collection of the rents, income and profits and the application thereof as herein provided shall not be considered a waiver by Agent of any Default under the other Loan Documents, or the Guaranty, or the Leases, or this Assignment.
     c. Continuing Effect . Upon the satisfaction of the Obligations secured hereby and by the Mortgage, (a) this Assignment shall become and be void and of no effect, but the affidavit of any officer, agent, or attorney of Agent or the Lenders made in good faith showing any part of said Obligations to remain unsatisfied, shall be and constitute conclusive evidence of the validity, effectiveness and continuing force of this Assignment and any person may, and is hereby authorized to, rely thereon and (b) Agent shall execute termination of this Assignment at Assignor’s cost. The discharge of record of the Mortgage dated as of even date given by Assignor to Agent shall constitute a discharge of this Assignment and a release of Agent’s and the Lenders’ interest in the Leases and rents assigned hereby and the reassignment thereof (without recourse to Agent or any Lender) to Assignor and all those claiming of record by, through or under Assignor.
     d. No Waiver; Concurrent Rights . Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted by Agent pursuant to the powers and rights granted it hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Agent of its rights and remedies hereunder or any one or more of the other Loan Documents, and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies possessed by Agent under the terms of any of

 


 

the other Loan Documents. The right of Agent to collect said principal sums, interest and indebtedness and to enforce any other security therefore held by it may be exercised by Agent either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder.
     e. No Liability . Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be liable for any loss sustained by Assignor resulting from Agent’s failure to let the Property after default or from any other act or omission of Agent in managing the Property after default unless such loss is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent. Agent shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does Agent hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases, or under or by reason of this Assignment, and Assignor shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify Agent and each of the Lenders for, and to defend and hold Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from, any and all liability, loss or damage which may or might be incurred under or by reason of this Assignment and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Agent or any Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases. Should Agent or any Lender incur any such liability under the Leases or under or by reason of this Assignment, or in defense of any such claims or demands, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees shall be secured hereby and by the Mortgage and by the other collateral for the Obligations and Assignor shall reimburse Agent and the Lenders therefor within thirty (30) days after demand and upon the failure of Assignor so to do, Agent may, at its option, declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable. It is further understood that this Assignment shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of said Property upon Agent, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of the Leases; nor shall it operate to make Agent responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by tenants or any other parties, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of said Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and the Lenders shall not be indemnified on account of, or exculpated from acts of, their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     f. Effect of Foreclosure Deed . Unless Agent otherwise elects in the instance of a Lease which is subordinate to the Mortgage and is thus terminated by the foreclosure, upon the issuance of any deed or deeds pursuant to a foreclosure of the Mortgage, all right, title and interest of Assignor in and to the Leases shall, by virtue of this instrument and such deed or deeds, thereupon vest in and become the absolute property of the grantee or grantees in such deed or deeds without any further act or assignment by Assignor. Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent, and its successors and assigns, as its agent and attorney in fact to execute all instruments of assignment for further assurance in favor of such grantee or grantees in such deed or deeds as may be necessary or desirable for such purpose.
     g. Rights Contained in Mortgage . This Assignment is intended to be in addition to, and not in substitution for, or in derogation of, any assignment of rents to

 


 

secure the Obligations contained in the Mortgage or in any other Loan Document. In the event of any conflict between this Assignment and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Assignment shall govern.
     h. Notices . Any notice or communications in connection herewith shall be sufficiently given only if given in the manner provided for in the Loan Agreement.
     i. Grace Periods and Notice . The grace period and notice provisions set forth in the Loan Agreement shall be applicable to any Default under this Assignment.
     j. Setoff . Subject to the terms of this Section j, Assignor hereby grants to Agent and each of the Lenders, a lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to Agent and the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Agent or any Lender or any entity under the control of Agent or any Lender, or in transit to any of them. At any time, from and after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent or any Lender may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Assignor even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Loan. Within five (5) Business Days of making any such set-off, Agent agrees to notify Assignor thereof, provided that the failure by Agent to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE ASSIGNOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
     (XLI). GOVERNING LAW; MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .
     a. Governing Law . This Assignment shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of [________] without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
     b. JURY TRIAL WAIVER . ASSIGNOR, AGENT, AND EACH OF THE LENDERS MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON THIS ASSIGNMENT, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR ASSIGNOR, AGENT AND EACH OF THE LENDERS TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 


 

     c. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION . EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED WITHIN THE FIRST DEPARTMENT OF THE NEW YORK STATE UNIFIED COURT SYSTEM AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT HAVING JURISDICTION FROM AN APPEAL THEREFROM, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS ASSIGNMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS ASSIGNMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS ASSIGNMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

So long as there is no Event of Default, Assignor shall have and may exercise all rights as the owner or holder of the Assigned Contracts and Permits which are lawful and are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan Documents, Immediately upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the right described in the preceding sentence shall cease and terminate, and in such event Agent is hereby expressly and irrevocably authorized, but not required, to exercise every right, option, power or authority inuring to Assignor under any one or more of the Assigned Contracts and Permits as fully as Assignor could itself.
     7.  IRREVOCABLE DIRECTION . Assignor hereby irrevocably directs the contracting party to, or grantor or licensor of, any such Assigned Contract and Permit, to the extent not prohibited by either such Assigned Contract and Permit or applicable law, or to the extent permitted under any recognition or other agreement executed by such grantor or licensor, upon demand and after notice from Agent of the occurrence of an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, to recognize and accept Agent as the holder of such Assigned Contract and Permit for any and all purposes as fully as it would recognize and accept Assignor and the performance of Assignor thereunder. Assignor does hereby constitute and appoint Agent, while this Assignment remains in force and effect, irrevocably, and with full power of substitution and revocation, its true and lawful attorney for and in its name, place and stead, after the occurrence of and during the continuance of such an Event of Default, to demand and enforce compliance with all the terms and conditions of the Assigned Contracts and Permits and all benefits accrued thereunder, whether at law, in equity or otherwise.

     9.  INDEMNIFICATION . Assignor hereby agrees to indemnify and to defend and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against and from all liability, loss, damage and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which it may or shall incur by reason of this Collateral Assignment, or by reason of any commercially reasonable action taken in good faith by Agent hereunder or with respect to the Assigned Contracts and Permits, and against and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Agent or any Lender by reason of any alleged obligation or undertaking on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any of the Assigned Contracts and Permits. Should Agent or any Lender incur any such liability, loss, damage or expense, the amount thereof,

 


 

together with interest thereon at the Default Rate of interest under the Loan Agreement, shall be payable by Assignor to Agent and the Lenders within thirty (30) days of demand, or at the option of Agent, Agent may reimburse itself therefor out of any receipts, rents, income or profits of the Property collected by Agent before the application of such receipts, rents, income or profits to any other Obligations. Any such amounts which are not paid within thirty (30) days of demand therefor shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand until paid.
     10.  AGENT/LENDER NOT OBLIGATED . Nothing contained herein or elsewhere shall operate to obligate, or be construed to obligate, Agent or any Lender to perform any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in the Assigned Contracts and Permits or otherwise to impose any obligation upon Agent with respect to the Assigned Contracts and Permits prior to written notice by Agent to Assignor of Agent’s election to assume Assignor’s obligations under one or more of the Assigned Contracts and Permits. Prior to written notice from Agent of such election, this Collateral Assignment shall not operate to place upon Agent any responsibility for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Property or for the payment, performance or observance of any obligation, requirement or condition under any such Assigned Contract and Permit, or under any agreement in respect to any such Assigned Contract and Permit, and the execution of this Collateral Assignment by Assignor shall constitute conclusive evidence that all responsibility for the operation, control, care, management and repair of the Property as well as the payment, performance or observance of any obligation, requirement or condition under the Assigned Contracts and Permits is and shall be that of Assignor, prior to written notice from Agent of such election. Even if Agent does exercise its rights, it may only be liable to the Architect, the Contractor, or any of the other parties only during the period that it is exercising the rights of Assignor under the Assigned Contracts and Permits, and at all times Assignor retains the obligation to reimburse Agent in accordance with Section 9 above otherwise pay when due all obligations incurred in connection with the Assigned Contracts and Permits.

Assignor agrees to execute and deliver to Agent, at any time or times during which this Collateral Assignment shall be in effect, such further instruments as Agent in good faith may deem necessary to make effective this Collateral Assignment, the security interest created hereby and the covenants of Assignor herein contained. To evidence such security interest, at the request of Agent, Assignor shall, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Agent, execute and deliver one or more financing statements, and any continuation thereof, pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of [____________] and shall pay the cost for filing thereof.
     12.  NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE RIGHTS . Failure of Agent to avail itself of any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Collateral Assignment for any period of time, or at any time or times, shall not be construed or deemed to be a waiver of any of its rights hereunder. The rights and remedies of Agent under this Collateral Assignment are cumulative and are not in lieu of, but are in addition to, any other rights and remedies which Agent shall have under or by virtue of the Obligations and the Loan Documents. The rights and remedies of Agent hereunder may be exercised from time to time and as often as such exercise is deemed expedient by Agent.
     13.  AGENT/LENDER: RIGHT TO ASSIGN . Assignor agrees that upon any sale or transfer by Agent and the Lenders of the Loan Documents and the indebtedness evidenced

 


 

thereby, or upon any person acquiring the Property or any interest therein, Agent may deliver to the purchaser or transferee the Assigned Contracts and Permits and may assign to such purchaser or transferee the rights of Agent hereunder, who shall thereupon become vested with all powers and rights given to Agent and the Lenders in respect thereto (and subject to Agent’s obligations hereunder), and Agent and the Lenders shall be forever relieved and fully discharged from any liability or responsibility thereafter accruing in connection therewith. In no event shall Agent be liable with respect to, or on account of, the Assigned Contracts and Permits, except for the safekeeping of any instruments delivered to Agent pursuant hereto and as otherwise expressly set forth in this Collateral Assignment, and Agent shall specifically have no obligation to enforce any rights against any contractor, or grantor or issuer.
     14.  TERMINATION AND REASSIGNMENT . Upon full payment and performance of the obligations and liabilities set forth or contained in this Collateral Assignment and the other Loan Documents (excluding only any liabilities which might arise in the future under the Environmental Indemnity), this Collateral Assignment shall become and be void and of no effect and, in that event, upon the request of Assignor, Agent covenants to execute and deliver to Assignor instruments effective to evidence the termination of this Collateral Assignment and the reassignment (without recourse) to Assignor of the Assigned Contracts and Permits and the rights, title, interest, power and authority assigned herein; provided, however, that any affidavit, certificate or other written statement of any officer of Agent stating that any part of said indebtedness remains unpaid shall be and constitute conclusive evidence of the then validity, effectiveness and continuing force of this Collateral Assignment and any person, firm, or corporation receiving any such affidavit, certificate or statement may, and is hereby authorized to rely thereon.
     15.  COPIES OF DEFAULT NOTICES . Assignor agrees to provide Agent promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof by Assignor, with copies of any and all notices received by Assignor which allege, either directly or indirectly, that Assignor is in default of, or deficient in the performance of the terms of any obligation of Assignor under, any Assigned Contract and Permit, or that any fact or circumstance exists which could reasonably lead to the termination, suspension, revocation or loss of any Assigned Contract and Permit.
     16.  NOTICES . Any notices given pursuant to this Collateral Assignment shall be sufficient only if given in the manner provided for in the Loan Agreement.
     17.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS . All of the agreements, obligations, undertakings, representations and warranties herein made by Assignor shall inure to the benefit of Agent, each Lender, and their successors and assigns, and shall bind Assignor and its successors and assigns.
     18.  CAPTIONS AND HEADINGS . Captions and headings in this Collateral Assignment are intended solely for the convenience of the parties and shall not be considered in the determination of the meaning of any provision hereof.

 


 

     19.  GRACE PERIODS AND NOTICE . The grace period and notice provisions set forth in the Loan Agreement shall be applicable to any Default under this Collateral Assignment.
     20.  COUNTERPARTS . This Collateral Assignment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered is an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument In making proof of this agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart which is executed by the party against whom enforcement of such collateral assignment is sought.
     21.  SETOFF . Subject to the terms of this Section 21, Assignor hereby grants to Agent and each of the Lenders, a lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to Agent and the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Agent or any Lender or any entity under the control of Agent or Lender or in transit to any of them. At any time, from and after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent or any Lender may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Assignor even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Loan. Within five (5) Business Days of making any such set-off, Agent agrees to notify Assignor thereof, provided that the failure by Agent to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE ASSIGNOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
     22.  GOVERNING LAW . This Collateral Assignment and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall in all respects be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law, except insofar as formation of the Assignor under [____________] law requires [____________] law to apply with respect to matters of authorization to enter into the transaction contemplated by this Collateral Assignment. In addition, the fact that portions of the Loan Documents may include provisions drafted to conform to the law of the State of [____________] is not intended, nor shall it be deemed, in any way to derogate the parties’ choice of law as set forth herein. Agent or any Lender may enforce its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, its rights to sue Assignor or to collect any outstanding indebtedness in accordance with applicable law. It is understood and agreed that this Collateral Assignment, and all of the other Loan Documents, were negotiated, executed and delivered in the State of New York which State the parties agree has a substantial relationship to the parties and to the underlying transactions embodied by the Loan Documents.
     23 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION . Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located within the First Department of the New York State Unified Court System or any federal court located within the Southern District of the State of New York, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or

 


 

enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

     d. The existence of the foregoing pledges and security interests created pursuant to the Pledge Agreement have been registered as of the date hereof in the Agent’s name in the books and records of the Consenting Party.
     e. Effective upon notice from the Agent (or any successor or assign of the Agent) of the transfer, sale, or assignment of, foreclosure on, or other disposition or realization of the respective Pledged Interests by the Agent pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, the Agent and/or, as may be applicable, any nominee, successor or assign of the Agent and/or any purchaser or transferee of the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof, without further action of any kind by the Consenting Party or any other Person, shall become for all purposes a partner and/or member and/or shareholder, respectively, under the applicable formation documents (hereinafter, the “Formation Documents”) of the Consenting Party, and shall be fully admitted and recognized by the Consenting Party and shall be entitled to all the benefits, rights, powers, and privileges of a partner and/or member and/or shareholder, respectively, under such Formation Documents, including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive in respect of the Pledged Interests all distributions and/or any other payments which such a partner and/or member and/or shareholder is or may be entitled to receive and (ii) the right to exercise any and all voting rights granted to such a partner, member or shareholder under the respective Formation Documents.

A Form W-8BEN completed and delivered by (i) certain foreign trusts, or (ii) persons claiming an exemption or reduced rate of withholding at source under an income tax treaty will not be considered duly completed unless the Form W-8BEN contains such Person’s U.S. taxpayer identification number.

-25-


 

avoid any requirements that Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Non-U.S. Lender. If such Non-U.S. Lender fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to Borrower evidencing complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Borrower under the Loan, or if for any reason Borrower is required by U.S. law to withhold U.S. income tax, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, Borrower may withhold from any interest payment to such Non-U.S. Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code and deduct such withholding from such payment.

The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.

Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such adjustments.

Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings following an Event of Default that remains uncured. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any Award and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with any such Condemnation. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note.

Promptly after receipt of the Net Proceeds, Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Net Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, such Net Proceeds shall, until completion of the Restoration, be held in trust for Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof.

          (b) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender and held by Lender in an interest-bearing account, which interest shall accrue for Borrower’s benefit, and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2 , shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The Net Proceeds (including all interest earned thereon) shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (i) all requirements set forth in Section 5.3.2(a) have been satisfied, (ii) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (iii) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
          (c) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior reasonable approval of Lender and an independent architect reasonably selected by Lender (the “ Casualty Consultant ”).

The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to reasonable approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant.

          (d) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage. The term “ Casualty Retainage ” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed.

          (e) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
          (f) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “ Net Proceeds Deficiency ”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.3.2 shall constitute additional security for the Debt.

          (h) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.3.2(g) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt, whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, without prepayment premium or other penalty.

          (a) Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering document (each, a “ Disclosure Document ”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.
          (b) Borrower shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower has examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Property, Manager and all other aspects of the Loan, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2 , Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Lender that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “ Registration Statement ”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “ Lender Group ”), and Lender, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective directors and each Person who controls Lender or any other placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “ Underwriter Group ”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the

-66-


 

Liabilities ”) to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided , however , that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
          (c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any reasonable legal or other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
          (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2 , notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2 , such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided , however , if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to

-67-


 

otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
          (e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c) , the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided , however , that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Lender’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
          (f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

     (xii) if Borrower breaches any representation, warranty or covenant contained in Section 3.1.24 hereof;

     (xvi) if there shall be Default under any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable cure periods contained in such Loan Documents, whether as to Borrower or the Property, or if any other such event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt.
          (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(a)(vi) , (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(a)(vi) , (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the

-70-


 

foregoing and subject to applicable law, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
          (b) Subject to applicable law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
          (c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “ Severed Loan Documents ”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided , however , Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
          (d) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

-71-


 

           Section 10.3 Right to Cure Defaults.
          Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense actually incurred thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 10.3 , shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.
           Section 10.4 Remedies Cumulative.
          The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

-79-

          Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.
           Section 11.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.
          In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
           Section 11.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors.
          Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

-81-


 

payment of taxes, lien claims, insurance premiums, Debt Service and other amounts due under the Loan Documents;
     (vi) misappropriation or conversion of any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;
     (vii) Borrower’s failure to maintain insurance as required by this Agreement or to pay any taxes or assessments affecting the Property as required by this Agreement;
     (viii) misappropriation, removal or disposal (except in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business) of any Personal Property (as defined in the Mortgage) affixed to the Property which constitutes a portion of the collateral for the Loan;

     (xi) Borrower fails to appoint a new property manager upon the request of Lender after an Event of Default, as required by, and in accordance with the terms and provisions of, this Agreement and the Mortgage.
          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that: (i) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any subordinate financing or other voluntary Lien encumbering the Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances); (ii) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Prohibited Transfer as required by the Mortgage or this Agreement; (iii) Borrower files a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (iv) an Affiliate which controls, directly or indirectly, Borrower files, or joins in the filing of, an involuntary petition against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (v) Borrower files an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person; (vi) any Affiliate which controls Borrower consents to or acquiesces in or joins in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or

          (a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer (the “ Servicer ”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “ Servicing Agreement ”) between Lender and Servicer.

-84-


 

by Lender and any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to any Rating Agency, including, without limitation, the severance of security documents if requested.

          All approval rights retained or exercised by Lender with respect to Leases, contracts, plans, studies and other matters are solely to facilitate Lender’s credit underwriting, and shall not be deemed or construed as a determination that Lender has passed on the adequacy thereof for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any other Person. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive use of Lender and Borrower and may not be enforced, nor relied upon, by any Person other than Lender and Borrower. All conditions of the obligations of Lender hereunder, including the obligation to make advances, if any, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make advances in the absence of strict compliance with any or all of such conditions, and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender at any time in Lender’s sole discretion.

Upon request or demand of Lender after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property) reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) business days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. The principal place of business of Borrower (Debtor) is as set forth on page one hereof and the address of Lender (Secured Party) is as set forth on page one hereof.

Borrower hereby pledges to Lender any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender or on behalf of Lender in connection with the Loan, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Accounts (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) and Net Proceeds, as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument.

(a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Security Instrument which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender’s interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable, without prepayment penalty or premium.
     (b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security Instrument or the Debt.

-10-


 

the Property to be more particularly described therein. To that end, Borrower, upon written request of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the then owner of the Property, to Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes and security instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid principal amount of the Note, and containing terms, provisions and clauses identical to those contained herein and in the Note, and such other documents and instruments as may be required by Lender; provided that the interest rate set forth in any notes shall be the same as the interest rate provided in the Note, the economic terms and Maturity Date of the notes are identical to those in the Note, the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents shall not be increased and Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents shall not be decreased.

extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 7.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
     Section 7.4 ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS.

     Section 7.6 EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. At reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine the records, books, management and other papers of Borrower which reflect upon its financial condition, at the Property or at any office regularly maintained by Borrower where the books and records are located. Lender and its agents shall have the right to make copies and extracts from the foregoing records and other papers.

     Section 7.7 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any

-15-


 

agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.
     (b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in Lender’s possession.
     (c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
     Section 7.8 RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. Lender may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.
     Section 7.9 VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Property is not in material compliance with Legal Requirements and such noncompliance results in a Material Adverse Effect, Lender may impose additional requirements upon Borrower in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents.

The provisions of Sections 9.2 and 9.3 herein are exceptions to any non-recourse or exculpation provisions in the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument

-16-


 

or the other Loan Documents, and Borrower and any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan are fully and personally liable for the obligations pursuant to Sections 9.2 and 9.3 herein. The liability of Borrower and any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan pursuant to Sections 9.2 and 9.3 herein is not limited to the original principal amount of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent Lender from foreclosing or exercising any other rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, whether simultaneously with foreclosure proceedings or in any other sequence.

               (ii) Homburg shall pay the Net Consideration to Cedar by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account or accounts designated by Cedar.
          (d) As of the applicable Closing Date, in the event that a tenant at any Existing Cedar Property shall have terminated or otherwise be in default of making required rental payments under its lease (such lease being, a “ Subject Lease ”) and as a result, the annualized Rental Income of such Existing Cedar Property as of the applicable Closing Date (the “ Closing Date Rental Income ”) shall be less than the annualized Rental Income for such Existing Cedar Property (such difference being the “ Rental Income Shortfall Amount ”) as reflected on Schedule 7 attached hereto (the “ Base Rental Income ”), then Cedar shall pay to the applicable Property Owner (as constituted from and after the Closing Date), as and when the same would otherwise be required to be paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable Subject Lease, the rent attributable to the Rental Income Shortfall Amount (to the extent such rent is not otherwise received by the Property Owner). For purposes herein, the Closing Date Rental Income shall be determined by Cedar using the same methodology as used to determine the Base Rental Income and identified in Schedule 7 . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Rental Income Shortfall Amount shall be automatically adjusted downward as follows: (i) upon the date that any terminated Subject Lease was to have expired by its terms, the Rental Income Shortfall Amount shall be permanently reduced by an amount equal to the amount attributed to the Subject Lease in calculating the Rental Income Shortfall Amount pursuant to this Section 2(d) (it being the intent that from and after such date, Cedar’s obligation under this Section 2(d) with respect to the Subject Lease shall terminate), (ii) upon such date as (x) one or more replacement tenants shall have commenced the payment of rent pursuant to one or more replacement leases of the premises (or any part thereof) at the Existing Cedar Property that was

originally leased pursuant to a terminated Subject Lease (provided such replacement lease(s) has a term substantially equal or greater to the term of the Subject Lease) or (y) one or more tenants shall have commenced the payment of rent pursuant to one or more new leases of space (or any part thereof) at the Existing Cedar Property that is noted as vacant on Schedule 7 attached hereto (provided that such new lease shall have an initial term of at least two (2) years), the Rental Income Shortfall Amount shall be permanently reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate rent being paid by such replacement or other tenant pursuant to such replacement lease(s) or new lease(s), as the case may be, for the first year of such replacement lease(s) or new lease(s), as applicable (provided that the rent for the first year of such replacement lease(s) or new lease(s) does not exceed the rent for any subsequent year of such lease(s) and provided further, that the amount by which the Rental Income Shortfall Amount shall be reduced shall be grossed up to reflect any “free rent” granted to the applicable tenant pursuant to its lease during the subject time period), and (iii) upon such date as any defaulting tenant under a Subject Lease shall recommence the payment of rent under such Subject Lease, the Rental Income Shortfall Amount shall be permanently reduced by an amount equal to the amount attributed to such Subject Lease in calculating the Rental Income Shortfall Amount pursuant to this Section 2(d) (it being the intent that from and after such date, Cedar’s obligation under this Section 2(d) with respect to the Subject Lease shall terminate). For avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby acknowledge that the Rental Income Shortfall Amount, whether or not previously reduced pursuant to the terms of this Section 2(d), shall never be adjusted upwards (only downwards) even if, for example, but without limitation, the Rental Income of the applicable Existing Cedar Property shall be reduced to a level below the Closing Date Rental Income for any reason.
     The provisions of this Section 2 shall survive the Closings.
     3.  Deposit . Within two (2) Business Days after the date this Agreement is executed and delivered by Cedar and Homburg, Homburg shall deposit with the Title Company, as escrowee, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated by the Title Company, the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (together with all interest thereon, the “ Deposit ”), as allocated to each Property as set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto (the “ Allotted Deposit ”). The Deposit shall be held by the Title Company pursuant to the escrow agreement attached hereto as Exhibit F . If Homburg shall fail to deposit the Deposit with the Title Company within two (2) Business Days after the date this Agreement shall be executed and delivered by Cedar and Homburg, at Cedar’s election exercised by delivery of written notice to Homburg following such two (2) Business Day period but prior to receipt of the Deposit, this Agreement shall be null, void ab initio and of no force or effect. At the Closing of each Transaction, the applicable Allotted Deposit shall be applied in partial payment of the applicable Allotted Consideration required to be made by Homburg at such Closing.
     4.  Closing . The closing (each a “ Closing ”) of the Transactions shall occur in stages. The first Closing shall include at least four (4) Transactions and shall occur at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date that is fifteen (15) days after the satisfaction (or waiver) of the last of all conditions precedent for at least four (4) Transactions (the “ First Scheduled Closing Date ”). Each of the remaining Transactions with respect to which all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to do so, shall occur on the date that is fifteen (15) days after the satisfaction (or waiver) of the last of all such conditions precedent for the

12


 

applicable Transaction (each, a “ Remaining Scheduled Closing Date ”; together with the First Scheduled Closing Date, the “ Scheduled Closing Date(s) ”); provided, however, that Homburg shall have the right to adjourn a particular Scheduled Closing Date not more than two (2) times to a Business Day that is not later than June 29, 2007 by delivery of written notice to Cedar on or prior to the original Scheduled Closing Date of the adjourned Scheduled Closing Date. Without limitation to the foregoing, the parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to close as many of the Transactions on the same date as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the right of Cedar to adjourn the Closing of one or more Transactions pursuant to Section 10(b) or Section 23 hereof, in the event that all of the conditions precedent with respect to any Transaction shall not have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to do so by September 28, 2007 (the “ Outside Closing Date ”), then this Agreement shall automatically terminate on such Outside Closing Date as to such Transaction and the applicable Allotted Deposit shall be refunded to Homburg and the Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of the applicable Allotted Consideration, whereupon the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further liability and responsibility under this Agreement with respect to such Transaction (except for any obligation expressly provided to survive a termination of this Agreement). The Closings shall occur at the offices of the Title Company through an escrow and pursuant to escrow instructions consistent with the terms of this Agreement and otherwise mutually satisfactory to Cedar and Homburg (the date on which any Closing shall occur being herein referred to as a “ Closing Date ”). Each Closing shall constitute approval by each of Cedar and Homburg of all matters to which such party has a right of approval and a waiver of all conditions precedent related to the applicable Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 4 shall be construed to limit the rights of Cedar pursuant to Section 41 hereinbelow respecting the closing of the purchase and sale of any Contract Property pursuant to the applicable Purchase Agreement.
     5.  Closing Costs . Costs in connection with each of the Transactions shall be allocated as follows:
          (a) With respect to the Existing Cedar Property Transactions only:

               (ii) Subject to the last sentence of Section 5(b)(ii), the applicable Cedar Partners and Homburg shall pay their respective Percentage Interests of all costs and expenses associated with (A) record searches, title examinations and updated owner title insurance policies (including endorsements thereto), if any, desired by Homburg and not by any Current Lender or any lender under the New Stone Hedge Loan, (B) any title insurance policy and/or endorsements insuring or otherwise providing coverage to, Homburg as a partner of any Existing Cedar Property Owner and (C) obtaining updates to the surveys of the Existing Cedar Properties as and to the extent desired by Homburg and not by any Current Lender or any lender under the New Stone Hedge Loan.

In addition, in the event that Cedar shall purchase all of the direct or indirect interests in one or more of the sellers under the Purchase Contracts pursuant to an amendment thereto, Homburg shall pay or

14


 

reimburse Cedar for Homburg’s Percentage Interests of all costs and expenses paid by Cedar or its affiliates in connection with the applicable Conversion(s) (including, without limitation, legal and filing fees and disbursements). To the extent any of the foregoing costs or expenses shall be paid by Homburg in the form of a reimbursement to Cedar, Cedar agrees to deliver copies of paid receipts, settlement statements or other reasonable evidence to Homburg verifying the amount thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to Transfer Taxes due and payable in connection with the Contract Transactions (each of which involves a Contract Property located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania), each of Homburg and the applicable Cedar Partners shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the amount thereof.
               (ii) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5(b)(ii), the applicable Cedar Partners and Homburg shall pay their respective Percentage Interests of all costs and expenses associated with (A) additional record searches, additional title examinations and updates of the owner title insurance policies (including endorsements thereto) as and to the extent such additional searches, examinations and/or updated policies are desired by Homburg and not by any Current Lender or the Lender under the New Parkway Plaza Loan, (B) any title insurance policy and/or endorsements insuring or otherwise providing coverage to, Homburg as a partner of any Contract Property Owner and (C) obtaining updates to the surveys of the Contract Properties, as and to the extent such updated surveys are desired by Homburg and not by any Current Lender or the Lender under the New Parkway Plaza Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the aggregate amount payable by the Cedar Partners under Section 5(a)(ii) and this Section 5(b)(ii) shall exceed $10,000, Homburg shall be responsible for all amounts in excess of $10,000.
               (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, for any reason (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5(b)(iii)), a Purchase Contract Closing and the Closing of the applicable Contract Transaction shall not occur simultaneously, then Homburg shall be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of all costs and expenses incurred by Homburg, Cedar and the Property Owners as a result of such separate closings (i.e. notwithstanding the fact that similar costs may have been initially paid in connection with a Purchase Contract Closing and Homburg shall be required to reimburse Cedar for its Percentage Interests thereof pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Purchase Contract Closing shall occur and the Closing of the applicable Contract Transaction shall not have occurred contemporaneously therewith solely by reason of (i) the breach by Cedar of its obligations under this Agreement and provided that Homburg shall have otherwise been ready, willing and able to close such Contract Transaction contemporaneously with the applicable Purchase Contract Closing, then Cedar shall be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of all costs and expenses incurred by Homburg, Cedar and the Property Owners as a result of such separate closings or (ii) the failure of one or more conditions precedent to the obligation of Homburg to close such Contract Transaction contemporaneously with the applicable Purchase Contract Closing (other than by reason of any breach described in clause (i) above), then the applicable Cedar Partners and Homburg shall be responsible for their respective Percentage Interests of all costs and expenses incurred by Homburg, Cedar and the Property Owners as a result of such separate closings. The parties agree to use good faith efforts to coordinate a

15


 

Purchase Contract Closing and the Closing of the applicable Contract Transaction such that the same shall occur contemporaneously.
          (c) In addition, Homburg hereby agrees to pay to Cedar, in its capacity as Manager, at the applicable Closing and as more particularly set forth in the applicable Management Agreement, its Percentage Interest of any Leasing Commission (as defined in the Management Agreement) payable to Cedar with respect to any Leases or renewals thereof entered into by and between a tenant at a Property and the applicable Property Owner at any time between the date hereof and the applicable Closing Date and with respect to which Lease or renewal thereof, the tenant thereunder has paid its first month’s rent on or prior to the applicable Closing Date.
          (d) Except as set forth in clause (I) of Section 5(b)(i) and Section 37 below, each party shall pay the cost of the fees and disbursements of its attorneys in connection with this Agreement.
          The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive the Closings.
     6.  Due Diligence Reviews . Homburg shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on April 25, 2007, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE (the period of time commencing upon the date hereof and continuing through and including such time on such date being herein called the “ Due Diligence Period ”), within which to complete its due diligence examinations of the Properties (the “ Investigations ”), which Investigations shall at all times be subject to Homburg’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 6 and Section 7 hereof. Any entry upon any Property and all Investigations shall be made or performed during Cedar’s normal business hours and at the sole risk and expense of Homburg, and shall not interfere with the activities on or about any Property, its tenants and their employees and invitees. During the Due Diligence Period, Cedar shall provide Homburg with reasonable access to the Existing Cedar Properties and, subject to the terms of this Section 6, the Contract Properties upon reasonable advance notice for the sole purpose of performing the Investigations with respect thereto. In connection with the foregoing, Homburg shall:
          (a) promptly repair any damage to the Properties resulting from any such Investigations and replace, refill and regrade any holes made in, or excavations of, any portion of the Properties used for such Investigations so that the Properties shall be substantially in the same condition that they existed in prior to such Investigations;
          (b) fully comply with all laws applicable to the Investigations and all other activities undertaken in connection therewith;
          (c) permit Cedar to have a representative present during all Investigations undertaken hereunder;
          (d) take all actions and implement all protections reasonably necessary to ensure that the Investigations and the equipment, materials, and substances generated, used or brought onto the Properties in connection with the Investigations, pose no threat to the safety or

16


 

health of persons or the environment, and cause no damage to the Properties or other property of Cedar or other persons;
          (e) furnish to Cedar, at no cost or expense to Cedar, copies of all studies and reports relating to the Investigations which Homburg shall obtain with respect to the Properties or the Interests promptly after Homburg’s receipt of same;
          (f) with respect to each Property, maintain or cause to be maintained, at Homburg’s expense, a policy of commercial general liability insurance, with a broad form contractual liability endorsement and with a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, automobile liability coverage including owned and hired vehicles with a combined single limit of $2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, and an excess umbrella liability policy for bodily injury and property damage in the amount of $5,000,000, insuring Homburg, Cedar, CSCI and, with respect to the Existing Cedar Properties, the applicable Existing Cedar Property Owners and, with respect to the Contract Properties, such parties as shall be required pursuant to the terms of the applicable Purchase Contracts, as additional insureds, against any injuries or damages to persons or property that may result from or are related to (i) Homburg and/or the entry of the Homburg Representatives upon the Property, (ii) any Investigations or other activities conducted thereon, and/or (iii) any and all other activities undertaken by Homburg and/or the Homburg Representatives, all of which insurance shall be on an “occurrence form” and otherwise in such forms acceptable to Cedar and with an insurance company acceptable to Cedar, and deliver a copy of such insurance policy to Cedar prior to the first entry on the Property;
          (g) not permit the Investigations or any other activities undertaken by Homburg or the Homburg Representatives to result in any liens, judgments or other encumbrances being filed or recorded against the Property, and Homburg shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly discharge of record any such liens or encumbrances that are so filed or recorded (including, without limitation, liens for services, labor or materials furnished); and
          (h) without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall Homburg or the Homburg Representatives, without the prior written consent of Cedar (provided, however, that Cedar agrees not to unreasonably withhold consent to any request made pursuant to clause (x) below): (x) make any intrusive physical testing (environmental, structural or otherwise) at any Property (such as soil borings, water samplings or the like) or (y) contact any tenant of any Property.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the closing of the purchase and sale of any Contract Property or, if applicable, the direct or indirect interests in any seller under any Purchase Contract pursuant to the applicable Purchase Contract (a “ Purchase Contract Closing ”) and provided that such Purchase Contract shall then be in full force and effect, then Homburg shall be permitted to perform (at its sole cost and expense) the same due diligence examinations of the Contract Properties as Cedar shall be permitted to perform thereunder, as and to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of such Purchase Contract. In the event that any Purchase Contract shall have terminated or the same shall not or shall no longer permit any due diligence examinations of the Contract Properties, then under no circumstances shall this Agreement be construed to provide or grant Homburg with any special right of entry or other

17


 

investigative rights or privileges with respect to any of the Contract Properties. Homburg acknowledges and agrees that any and all due diligence investigations that Homburg desires to perform with respect to the Contract Properties shall be coordinated through and approved by Cedar (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), pursuant to written requests made by Homburg to Cedar, it being acknowledged and agreed however, that Cedar shall not be required to incur any cost or expense in connection therewith. To the extent not previously provided, Cedar agrees to furnish to Homburg promptly following the date hereof, copies of all existing third party studies and reports relating to any investigations undertaken by Cedar or any Cedar Related Party with respect to the Contract Properties pursuant to the applicable Purchase Contracts and, promptly after Cedar’s receipt of the same, Cedar agrees to furnish to Homburg copies of any such third party studies and reports received by Cedar after the date hereof. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the Closings and/or any termination of this Agreement.
     7.  Indemnification . Homburg shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Cedar Related Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements and costs of enforcement of the indemnification obligation hereunder), suffered or incurred by Cedar or any Cedar Related Party, including without limitation, pursuant to any Purchase Contract, and arising out of or in connection with (i) the entry by Homburg and/or the Homburg Representatives upon any of the Properties (whether conducted prior to or after the date hereof), (ii) any Investigations or other activities conducted thereon by Homburg or the Homburg Representatives, (iii) any liens or encumbrances filed or recorded against any Property as a consequence of their due diligence investigations, including, without limitation, the Investigations and/or (iv) any and all other activities undertaken by Homburg or the Homburg Representatives with respect to the Properties and/or the Interests. The foregoing obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless shall not include any claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that result solely from the mere discovery, by Homburg or the Homburg Representatives, of existing conditions on any Property during investigations conducted pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement.
     The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the Closings and/or any termination of this Agreement.
     8.  Property Information and Confidentiality . All Information provided to Homburg, whether prior to or after the date hereof, shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
          (a) Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, neither Cedar nor any Cedar Related Party makes any representation or warranty as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Information, or any other studies, documents, reports or other information provided to Homburg hereunder and expressly disclaims any implied representations as to any matter disclosed or omitted.
          (b) Homburg agrees that neither Homburg nor the Homburg Representatives shall, at any time or in any manner, either directly or indirectly, divulge, disclose or communicate to any person, entity or association the Information, or any other knowledge or

18


 

information acquired by Homburg or the Homburg Representatives from Cedar, any Cedar Related Party or by Homburg’s own inspections and investigations, other than matters that were in the public domain at the time of receipt by Homburg or the Homburg Representatives. Without Cedar’s prior written consent, Homburg shall not disclose and Homburg shall direct the Homburg Representatives not to disclose to any person, entity or association or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to this Agreement or the Purchase Contracts, including, without limitation, the status hereof or thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the terms of the Purchase Contracts, Homburg may disclose such of the Information and its other reports, studies, documents and other matters generated by it and the terms of this Agreement (i) as required by law or court order (provided prior written notice of such disclosure shall be provided to Cedar), (ii) as Homburg deems necessary or desirable to the Homburg Representatives in connection with Homburg’s Investigation and the transactions contemplated hereby provided that those to whom such Information is disclosed are informed of the confidential nature thereof and agree(s) to keep the same confidential in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and/or the Purchase Contracts, as applicable and (iii) subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, as contained in sales materials distributed to potential investors in HP. Prior to any Syndication, Homburg shall offer Cedar the opportunity to timely review and, subject to any Netherlands regulatory requirements, approve all descriptive materials published and disseminated with respect to references to Cedar or any parent or subsidiary thereof (other than the Property Owners) and its or their organizational and/or financial operations, structure or history, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall offer Cedar the opportunity to timely review all materials published and disseminated with respect to any Property Owner and the interests therein, the Properties and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreements. The review and approval by Cedar of any materials published and disseminated as aforesaid shall in no way subject Cedar to any liability hereunder or otherwise, it being agreed that Homburg shall defend, indemnify and hold each of the Cedar Related Parties harmless of, from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, costs, charges and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and the cost of enforcement of the indemnification obligation hereunder) arising out of or in connection with any Syndication. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Homburg hereby covenants and agrees to comply with any and all confidentiality provisions set forth in the Purchase Contracts.
          (c) Homburg shall indemnify and hold harmless Cedar and the Cedar Related Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements and costs of enforcement of the indemnification obligation hereunder but excluding any special or consequential damages) suffered or incurred by Cedar or any Cedar Related Party and arising out of or in connection with a breach by Homburg or the Homburg Representatives of the provisions of this Section 8.
          (d) Homburg and the Homburg Representatives shall use reasonable care to maintain in good condition all of the Information furnished or made available to Homburg and/or the Homburg Representatives. In the event this Agreement is terminated, Homburg and the Homburg Representatives shall promptly destroy all originals and copies of the Information in the possession of Homburg and the Homburg Representatives (except to the extent such

19


 

Information pertains to a Transaction that shall have closed). Likewise, if this Agreement is terminated as to one Transaction only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then Homburg and the Homburg Representatives shall promptly destroy all originals and copies of the Information pertaining to such Transaction (e.g., the applicable Property(ies) and Interests) in the possession of Homburg and the Homburg Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that a Purchase Contract shall terminate for any reason, Homburg shall deliver to Cedar promptly upon demand, all originals and copies of the Information in the possession of Homburg and the Homburg Representatives relating to the applicable Contract Property.
          (e) As used in this Agreement, the term “ Information ” shall mean any of the following: (i) all information and documents in any way relating to the Properties and/or the Interests, the operation thereof or the sale thereof, including, without limitation, the Purchase Contracts, all leases and contracts furnished to Homburg or the Homburg Representatives by Cedar or any Cedar Related Party or their agents or representatives, including, without limitation, their contractors, engineers, attorneys, accountants, consultants, brokers or advisors, whether prior to or after the date hereof and (ii) all analyses, compilations, data, studies, reports or other information or documents prepared or obtained by Homburg or the Homburg Representatives containing or based on, in whole or in part, the information or documents described in the preceding clause (i), the Investigations, or otherwise reflecting their review or investigation of the Properties and/or the Interests.
          (f) In addition to any other remedies available to Cedar, Cedar shall have the right to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief or specific performance, against Homburg and/or the Homburg Representatives in order to enforce the provisions of this Section 8.
          (g) Notwithstanding any terms or conditions in this Agreement to the contrary, no conditions of confidentiality within the meaning of IRC §6111(d) or the Treasury Regulations promulgated under IRC Sec. 6011 are intended, and the parties hereto are expressly authorized to disclose every U.S. federal income tax aspect of any transaction covered by this Agreement with any and all persons, without limitation of any kind.
     The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the Closings and/or any termination of this Agreement.
     9.  Termination Right . If, on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, based upon the Investigations and/or the Information, Homburg shall determine that it no longer intends to acquire the Property for any reason, then Homburg shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Cedar on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date that the Due Diligence Period shall expire (such notice being herein called the “ Termination Notice ”), whereupon the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Homburg, and this Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate (and no party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement). In the event that Homburg shall fail to deliver the Termination Notice to Cedar on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date that the Due

20


 

Diligence Period shall expire, Homburg shall be deemed to have agreed that the foregoing matters are acceptable to Homburg and that it intends to proceed with all of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and, thereafter, Homburg shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9).
     10.  Lender Approval .
          (a) With respect to each of the Transactions other than the Transactions involving the Stone Hedge Property and the Parkway Plaza Property, Cedar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the Current Lenders their respective written approval or agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to Homburg of (i) the Conversions, if applicable, and the transfer of the applicable Interests as contemplated under this Agreement, (ii) the applicable Amended and Restated Partnership Agreements, (iii) the applicable Management Agreement and (iv) the Syndication (including the applicable Current Lender’s agreement that the Syndication shall not constitute a default under the applicable Current Loan Documents) (collectively, with any other related approvals required pursuant to the applicable Loan Documents the “ Loan Approvals ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the refusal of a Current Lender to pre-approve or otherwise permit without the consent of Lender a transfer of partnership interest from Cedar to Homburg or HPBV (or any affiliate of either of the foregoing) shall not be grounds for Homburg to withhold its consent to a Loan Approval. Cedar shall request that the documents evidencing a Loan Approval contain a statement from the Current Lender identifying, in writing, the outstanding principal balance and interest rate of the applicable Current Loan and whether, to Current Lender’s knowledge, any default exists under the applicable Current Loan Documents (the “ Loan Estoppel Statement ”). Cedar and Homburg agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in connection with the foregoing (including, without limitation, promptly furnishing to the Current Lenders all information and documents (financial and otherwise) which may be required under the Current Loan Documents or otherwise reasonably requested by the Current Lenders). For avoidance of doubt, failure by Cedar to obtain (x) any Loan Approval in the manner provided herein shall not constitute a default by Cedar under this Agreement, but shall constitute the mere failure of a condition precedent as more particularly set forth in Section 16 below and/or (y) any Loan Estoppel Statement in the manner provided herein shall constitute neither a default by Cedar under this Agreement nor the failure of a condition precedent to the obligation of any party to close hereunder.
          (b) If, with respect to one (1) or more of the applicable Properties (each, a “ Subject Property ”), necessary Loan Approvals shall not have been obtained by Cedar and Homburg prior to 5:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on June 29, 2007 (the “ Loan Approval Deadline ”), then Cedar shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, exercisable by delivery of written notice to Homburg to either (x) extend the Loan Approval Deadline with respect to the Subject Property(ies) by a period not to exceed, in the aggregate, thirty (30) days (the “ Extension Period ”) and, if necessary, extend the Closing of the related Transaction(s) (the “ Subject Transaction(s) ”) in connection therewith, or (y) remove the Interests associated with the Subject Property(ies) (the “ Subject Interests ”) from the Interests being conveyed pursuant to this Agreement, in which case this Agreement shall terminate as to the Subject Transaction and the applicable Allotted Deposit shall be refunded to Homburg and the Consideration shall be

21


 

reduced by the amount of the applicable Allotted Consideration, whereupon the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further liability and responsibility under this Agreement with respect to the Subject Interests, the Subject Property and the Subject Transaction (except for any obligation expressly provided to survive a termination of this Agreement). If Cedar shall make an election under clause (x) of this Section 10(b), then the following shall apply:
               (i) The parties shall proceed with the Closing of any other Transaction that is not a Subject Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (c) Cedar and Homburg each agrees that: (i) it will not dispose of any of the Interests without registration under the Securities Act unless and until the proposed sale or transfer of the Interests is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, as evidenced (if desired by such Property Owner) by a written opinion of counsel of recognized standing in Securities Law, provided no such opinion shall be required to be delivered in connection with the Syndication.

          (d) The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the Closings.
     14.  Interim Covenants of Cedar .
          (a) With respect to each of the Existing Cedar Properties, Cedar shall cause each of the Existing Cedar Property Owners to operate its Existing Cedar Property in substantially the same manner as prior hereto pursuant to its normal course of business until the applicable Closing Date; provided, however that, without the prior consent of Homburg, Cedar shall not (except to the extent expressly provided herein):
               (i) refinance any of the Current Loans or amend, modify or terminate in any material respect any of the Current Loan Documents, which termination, modification or amendment could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the applicable Property Owner; or
               (ii) enter into, terminate, modify or amend, or waive in writing or otherwise in any material respect, any Lease for an area in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate rentable square feet of the improvements located on the applicable Existing Cedar Property, which termination, modification or amendment, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the applicable Property Owner.
To the extent that a Purchase Contract shall provide Cedar with approval rights with respect to the entering into, modification, amendment or termination of any Leases or Current Loan Documents affecting any Contract Property, Cedar shall not exercise such approval rights without the prior consent of Homburg; provided, however, that Cedar shall only be required to seek such consent of Homburg if the circumstances are such that, had the subject Property been an Existing Cedar Property instead of a Contract Property, Cedar would have been required to obtain the consent of Homburg pursuant to this Section 14(a). The failure of Homburg to consent or not consent to any action proposed by Cedar under this Section 14(a) within five (5) Business Days after notice from Cedar shall be deemed consent by Homburg to such proposed action. At such time as any Purchase Contract Closing shall have occurred and the applicable Contract Property Owner shall have acquired title to the applicable Contract Property, the covenants of Cedar with respect to the Existing Cedar Property Owners contained in this Section 14(a) shall be applicable to each such Contract Property Owner.
          (b) Following request therefor, Cedar agrees to keep Homburg informed of the status of the Purchase Contracts and provide Homburg with materials related thereto that are readily available to Cedar; provided, however, that Cedar shall, in any event, promptly deliver to Homburg copies of any written notice of closing date adjournment or default given or received by Cedar with respect to a Purchase Contract and notify Homburg of the occurrence of any Purchase Contract Closing and/or the modification, amendment, assignment or termination of any Purchase Contract, as applicable. In addition, Cedar shall promptly provide Homburg with copies of any written notice delivered to Cedar by a seller under any Purchase Contract respecting any defaults by such seller under any of the Current Loan Documents encumbering the applicable Contract Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cedar shall provide to Homburg for its prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, a true and correct copy (in all material respects) of any proposed amendment or modification (an

33


 

Equity Sale Amendment ”) to any of the Purchase Contracts, which amendment or modification provides for the purchase and sale by Cedar of the direct or indirect interests in any of the sellers thereunder in lieu of purchasing the fee interests in applicable Contract Property(ies) (an “ Equity Sale ”). The failure of Homburg to give or withhold its consent to any such proposed amendment or modification within five (5) Business Days after delivery thereof to Homburg shall be deemed Homburg’s consent thereto. Cedar shall provide to Homburg, promptly following Cedar’s receipt thereof, copies of all books and records, balance sheets, general ledgers and tax returns of the sellers under the Purchase Contracts and any other financial information regarding such sellers and/or any Person providing an indemnity or guaranty with respect to a proposed Equity Sale as Homburg shall reasonably request from time to time and which shall be in the possession of Cedar. If as a result of Homburg’s review of such information or any other matter deemed relevant by Homburg with respect to any proposed Equity Sale(s), Homburg determines, in its reasonable discretion, it does not wish for Cedar to proceed with such Equity Sale(s), then Homburg shall have the right, on notice to Cedar given at least ten (10) days prior to the closing date under the applicable Purchase Contract(s), to direct Cedar to not to proceed with an Equity Sale, whereupon such Purchase Contract(s) shall continue in full force and effect as though unmodified by such Equity Sale Amendment(s), provided that Cedar may, in its sole determination, elect to proceed with such Equity Sale, in which event Homburg shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as to the applicable Transaction(s) by written notice to Cedar within one (1) Business Day following receipt of notice from Cedar of its election to proceed with such Equity Sale, upon which Termination the applicable Allotted Deposit(s) shall be refunded to Homburg, the Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to the applicable Allotted Consideration and the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further liability and responsibility under this Agreement with respect to such Transaction(s) (except for any obligation expressly provided to survive a termination of this Agreement).
          (c) Following the date hereof, Cedar agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the release of the Stone Hedge Property from the lien of the Stone Hedge Line of Credit.
          (d) Prior to the Closing of the Contract Transaction involving the Parkway Plaza Property, Cedar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Property Owner to finance the Parkway Plaza Property with a mortgage loan secured by such Property on such commercially reasonable terms as Cedar shall determine (the “ New Parkway Plaza Loan ”). Promptly upon receipt thereof, Cedar agrees to deliver a copy of either the loan application or commitment received from the applicable lender in connection with the New Parkway Plaza Loan (the “ New Parkway Plaza Application ”) to Homburg for its review and approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned. Likewise, prior to entering into the loan documents and instruments evidencing the New Parkway Plaza Loan (the “ New Parkway Plaza Loan Documents ”), Cedar agrees to deliver copies of the same to Homburg for its review and approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned; provided, however, that Homburg shall have no right to disapprove the New Parkway Plaza Loan Documents unless the same materially and adversely conflict with the terms of the New Parkway Plaza Application. In the event that Homburg shall fail to deliver written approval or disapproval of the terms of either the New Parkway Plaza Application or the New Parkway Plaza Loan Documents within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof, Homburg shall be deemed to have approved the same. If, in

34


 

accordance with the terms of this Section 14(d), Homburg shall disapprove of the terms of either the New Parkway Plaza Application or the New Parkway Plaza Loan Documents, Cedar shall have the option, in its sole direction, to either (i) cause the New Parkway Plaza Application or the New Parkway Plaza Loan Documents, as applicable, to be modified until Homburg shall approve the same (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or (ii) terminate this Agreement with respect to the Contract Transaction involving the Parkway Plaza Property only, in which case the applicable Allotted Deposit shall be refunded to Homburg and the Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of the applicable Allotted Consideration, and the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further liability and responsibility under this Agreement with respect to the Parkway Plaza Property and the Interests related thereto, except for any obligation expressly provided to survive a termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement shall not be terminated as to the Parkway Plaza Property as aforesaid, in the event that the New Parkway Plaza Loan shall close prior to the Closing of the Contract Transaction involving the Parkway Plaza Property as contemplated herein, the Allotted Consideration payable by Homburg at such Closing shall be equitably adjusted (x) to account for the outstanding principal amount of the New Parkway Plaza Loan and (y) such that Homburg shall be responsible for its Percentage Interests of all third party transaction costs and closing costs incurred in obtaining the New Parkway Plaza Loan. In addition, if the New Parkway Plaza Loan shall have closed prior to the Closing of the Contract Transaction involving the Parkway Plaza Property, Homburg shall pay to Cedar at the Closing of such Contract Transaction, its Percentage Interest of a financing fee equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the original principal amount of the New Parkway Plaza Loan; provided, however, that any such financing fee payable hereunder shall not exceed $50,000. In the event the New Parkway Plaza Loan shall close on or after the Closing of the Contract Transaction involving the Parkway Plaza Property, the financing fee payable to Cedar in connection therewith shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Management Agreement. The provisions of this Section 14(d) shall survive the Closing.
          (e) Prior to the Closing of the Existing Cedar Transaction involving the Stone Hedge Property, in its discretion, following the release of the Stone Hedge Property from the Stone Hedge Line of Credit, Cedar may cause the applicable Property Owner to finance the Stone Hedge Property with a mortgage loan secured by such Property on such commercially reasonable terms as Cedar shall determine (the “ New Stone Hedge Loan ”). Promptly upon receipt thereof, Cedar agrees to deliver a copy of either the loan application or commitment received from the applicable lender in connection with the New Stone Hedge Loan (the “ New Stone Hedge Application ”) to Homburg for its review and approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned. Likewise, prior to entering into the loan documents and instruments evidencing the New Stone Hedge Loan (the “ New Stone Hedge Loan Documents ”), Cedar agrees to deliver copies of the same to Homburg for its review and approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned; provided, however, that Homburg shall have no right to disapprove the New Stone Hedge Loan Documents unless the same materially and adversely conflict with the terms of the New Stone Hedge Application. In the event that Homburg shall fail to deliver written approval or disapproval of the terms of either the New Stone Hedge Application or the New Stone Hedge Loan Documents within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof, Homburg shall be deemed to have approved the same. If, in accordance with the terms of this Section 14(e), Homburg shall disapprove of the terms of either the New Stone

35


 

Hedge Application or the New Stone Hedge Loan Documents, Cedar shall have the option, in its sole direction, to either (i) cause the New Stone Hedge Application or the New Stone Hedge Loan Documents, as applicable, to be modified until Homburg shall approve the same (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or (ii) terminate this Agreement with respect to the Existing Cedar Transaction involving the Stone Hedge Property only, in which case the applicable Allotted Deposit shall be refunded to Homburg and the Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of the applicable Allotted Consideration, and the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further liability and responsibility under this Agreement with respect to the Stone Hedge Property and the Interests related thereto, except for any obligation expressly provided to survive a termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement shall not be terminated as to the Stone Hedge Property as aforesaid, in the event that the New Stone Hedge Loan shall close prior to the Closing of the Transaction involving the Stone Hedge Property as contemplated herein, the Allotted Consideration payable by Homburg at such Closing shall be equitably adjusted (x) to account for the outstanding principal amount of the New Stone Hedge Loan and (y) such that Homburg shall be responsible for its respective Percentage Interests of all third party transaction costs and closing costs incurred in obtaining the New Stone Hedge Loan. In addition, if the New Stone Hedge Loan shall have closed prior to the Closing of the Contract Transaction involving the Stone Hedge Property, Homburg shall pay to Cedar at the Closing of such Contract Transaction, its Percentage Interest of a financing fee equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the original principal amount of the New Stone Hedge Loan; provided, however, that any such financing fee payable hereunder shall not exceed $50,000. In the event the New Stone Hedge Loan shall close on or after the Closing of the Contract Transaction involving the Stone Hedge Property, the financing fee payable to Cedar in connection therewith shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Management Agreement. The provisions of this Section 14(e) shall survive the Closing.
          (f) Cedar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Homburg before the applicable Closing Date, tenant estoppel certificates (“ Tenant Estoppels ”) from tenants under Leases occupying each Existing Cedar Property, each on the applicable tenant’s standard estoppel form or as otherwise prescribed by its Lease or on a commercially reasonable form. In addition, Cedar agrees to deliver to Homburg, promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of any and all Tenant Estoppels received from tenants under Leases affecting the Contract Properties. For avoidance of doubt, failure by Cedar to obtain any Tenant Estoppel shall constitute neither a default by Cedar under this Agreement nor the failure of a condition precedent to the obligation of any party to close hereunder.
     15.  Deliveries to be made on the Closing Date .
          (a) Cedar Deliveries : Cedar shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Property Owners, Homburg or the Title Company, as the case may be, on the applicable Closing Date the following documents (collectively, “ Cedar Deliveries ”):

IN THE EVENT ANY TRANSACTION SHALL NOT CLOSE ON ACCOUNT OF HOMBURG’S BREACH OR DEFAULT, THEN, AT CEDAR’S ELECTION, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL TERMINATE WITH RESPECT TO ALL TRANSACTIONS NOT YET CLOSED, THE RETENTION OF THE UNAPPLIED PORTION OF THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE CEDAR’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO LIMIT CEDAR’S RIGHTS OR DAMAGES UNDER ANY INDEMNITIES GIVEN BY HOMBURG TO CEDAR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

     23.  Title Reviews .
          (a) Homburg has, or shall promptly after the date hereof, obtain title reports for each of the Properties from the Title Company (the “ Title Reports ”). If any exceptions(s) to title to any Property should appear in the Title Reports that are not Permitted Exceptions, then, no later than March 26, 2007, Homburg shall promptly deliver copies thereof to Cedar, together with copies of the applicable exception documentation and written notice of disapproval of said exceptions (a “ Title Objection Letter ”). Any such material title exceptions so objected to by Homburg pursuant to this Section 23(a) shall be deemed to be “ Title Objections .” Subject to Section 23(c) below, within ten (10) days following receipt of the Title Objection Letter, Cedar shall deliver written notice to Homburg of any Title Objections with respect to which Cedar, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to undertake the removal prior to or at the applicable Closing (the “ Title Objection Response ”); provided, however, that if Cedar shall fail to deliver any Title Objection Response by the expiration of such ten (10) day period, Cedar shall be deemed to have elected not to undertake the removal of the subject Title Objections. Subject to Section 23(c) below, if Cedar elects or is deemed to have elected not to cure any Title Objection, Homburg’s only option in response thereto shall be to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 above. Subject to Section 23(c) below, if Cedar shall have elected to undertake the removal of a Title Objection but does not cause the removal thereof by the applicable Scheduled Closing Date, Homburg shall have the option, to be exercised by Homburg by written notice to Cedar on or before the applicable Scheduled Closing Date, to either (A) accept the Property “as is” with respect to such Title Objections and consummate the Closings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (B) terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Cedar, and receive a return of the undisbursed portion of the Deposit, whereupon neither party shall have any obligations or liability hereunder except as expressly intended to survive a termination of this Agreement or, if applicable, any Closing that may have already occurred hereunder. Should Homburg fail to elect an option in writing by the applicable Scheduled Closing Date, Homburg shall be deemed to have elected option (A) above. For avoidance of doubt, Cedar shall not under any circumstance be required or obligated to cause the cure or removal of any Title Objection (other than Mandatory Cure Items) including, without limitation, to bring any action or proceeding, to make any payments or otherwise to incur any expense in order to eliminate any Title Objection or to arrange for title insurance insuring against enforcement of such Title Objection against, or collection of the same out of, the applicable Property, notwithstanding that Cedar may have attempted to do so.
          (b) If Homburg shall object to any exceptions(s) to title to the Property, other than the Permitted Exceptions, of which Homburg is first made aware in any update made to any Title Report after the earlier of the date of the Title Objection Letter delivered pursuant to Section 23(a) above or March 26, 2007, Homburg shall deliver copies thereof to Cedar, together with copies of the applicable exception documentation(s) and written notice of disapproval of said exceptions no later than the earlier of (i) the applicable Scheduled Closing Date and (ii) ten (10) days after receipt by Homburg of the applicable updated Title Report. Any such material title exceptions so objected to by Homburg pursuant to this Section 23(b) shall be deemed to be “ Additional Title Objections .” Subject to Section 23(c) below, no later than the earlier of (i) the applicable Scheduled Closing Date and (ii) ten (10) days after receipt by Cedar of written notice from Homburg of any Additional Title Objections, Cedar shall deliver a Title Objection

45


 

Response to Homburg of any Additional Title Objections with respect to which Cedar, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to undertake the removal prior to or at the applicable Closing; provided, however, that if Cedar shall fail to deliver any Title Objection Response by the applicable Scheduled Closing Date, Cedar shall be deemed to have elected not to cause the removal of the subject Additional Title Objections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Cedar shall elect to undertake the removal of any Additional Title Objections hereunder, Cedar shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion upon delivery of prior written notice to Homburg, to extend the applicable Scheduled Closing Date by up to thirty (30) days in the aggregate, to cause the removal thereof. Subject to Section 23(c) below, if Cedar indicates or is deemed to have indicated that it will not cure any Additional Title Objection or, if Cedar shall have elected to undertake the removal of an Additional Title Objection but does not cause the removal thereof by the applicable Schedule Closing Date, Homburg shall have the option, by (I) if Cedar shall have elected (or is deemed to have elected) not to cause the removal of the Additional Title Objection, the earlier of the Scheduled Closing Date and third (3rd) Business Day after receipt of the Title Objection Response (or the date such Title Objection Response shall have been due, as applicable) or (II) if Cedar shall have elected to undertake the removal of an Additional Title Objection but does not cause the removal thereof by the applicable Schedule Closing Date, the Scheduled Closing Date, to either (A) accept the Property “as is” with respect to such Additional Title Objections and consummate the Closings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (B) terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Cedar, and receive a return of the undisbursed portion of the Deposit, whereupon neither party shall have any obligations or liability hereunder except as expressly intended to survive a termination of this Agreement or, if applicable, any Closing that may have already occurred hereunder. Should Homburg fail to elect an option in writing within said three (3) Business Day period, Homburg shall be deemed to have elected option (A) above. For avoidance of doubt, Cedar shall not under any circumstance be required or obligated to cause the cure or removal of any Additional Title Objection (other than Mandatory Cure Items) including, without limitation, to bring any action or proceeding, to make any payments or otherwise to incur any expense in order to eliminate any Additional Title Objection or to arrange for title insurance insuring against enforcement of such Additional Title Objection against, or collection of the same out of, the applicable Property, notwithstanding that Cedar may have attempted to do so.
          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Cedar shall cause the removal (by bonding or otherwise) prior to the applicable Scheduled Closing Date of any monetary liens encumbering any Property (that is not a Permitted Exception hereunder) objected to by Homburg in accordance with Section 23(a) or Section 23(b) above, if the placing of such lien was solely the direct result of the actions of Cedar and not otherwise caused by any tenant at, or prior owner of, the Property or any other third party (each, a “ Mandatory Cure Item ”).
     24.  Notices . All notices, demands, consents, reports and other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing, shall be given by a method prescribed in this Section and shall be given to the party to whom it is addressed at the address set forth below or at such other address(es) as such party hereto may hereafter specify by at least seven (7) days’ prior written notice.

If a Partner shall elect to make a Shortfall Loan it shall provide a written irrevocable unconditional notice of such election to the General Partner within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Shortfall Notice.

     (g) Section 754 Adjustments . To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company Asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

The Partners intend that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either by other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.3(h). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Partners shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner they reasonably determine to be appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement.

     (e) To the extent permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(h)(3), the Partners shall treat distributions of Net Proceeds of a Capital Transaction as not allocable to an increase in Company Minimum Gain to the extent the distribution does not cause or increase a deficit balance in the Adjusted Capital Account of any Partner.

     (a) Either Cedar LP and Cedar GP acting collectively, on the one hand, and HHUS and, if applicable, HP acting collectively, on the other hand (“ Buy Sell Offeror ”), shall have the right from time to time to effect the provisions of this Section 8.4 at any time during the Buy/Sell Exercise Period by delivering written notice (the “ Buy Sell Notice ”) to the other Partner (“ Buy Sell Offeree ”) (A) of its intention to effect the provisions of this Section 8.4(a), and (B) designating its determination (which shall be made in its sole discretion) of the fair market value of the Property and all other Company Assets (the “ Buy Sell Property ”) taking into account the obligation of the Purchasing Partner to repay or assume any existing mortgage indebtedness (the “ Buy Sell Purchase Price ”).
     (b) Upon receipt of the Buy Sell Notice given pursuant to Section 8.4(a) hereof, Buy Sell Offeree shall then be obligated either to:

-32-


 

     (i) purchase the Buy Sell Property from the Company for cash at a price equal to the Buy Sell Purchase Price; or
     (ii) allow the Company to sell the Buy Sell Property to Buy Sell Offeror for cash at a price equal to the Buy Sell Purchase Price,
and in each such instance the Company shall sell the Buy Sell Property to the Buy Sell Offeree or Buy Sell Offeror, as applicable. Buy Sell Offeree shall give written notice of its election to Buy Sell Offeror within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Buy Sell Notice (the date of election being the “ Buy Sell Election Date ”). Failure of Buy Sell Offeree to give Buy Sell Offeror notice within such time shall be a conclusive election under subsection (b)(ii) above.
     (c) Within ten (10) Business Days after Buy Sell Offeree’s election or deemed election under subsection 8.4(b), the Partner purchasing the Buy Sell Property (the “ Purchasing Partner ”; the Partner(s) not purchasing the Buy Sell Property being hereinafter referred to as the “ Non-Purchasing Partner ”) shall deposit with the Escrow Agent in cash an amount equal to the greater of (I) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) and (II) an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Buy Sell Purchase Price (“ Buy Sell Deposit ”). If the Purchasing Partner shall fail to deposit the Buy Sell Deposit within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Purchasing Partner shall be in default hereunder, the Non-Purchasing Partner and the Company shall have all remedies available at law or in equity, and the Non-Purchasing Partner shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Purchasing Partner and the Company within ten (10) days of the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, to purchase (pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.4) the Buy Sell Property for cash at a price equal to ninety five percent (95%) of the Buy Sell Purchase Price. If the Non-Purchasing Partner does not elect to purchase the Buy Sell Property, the rights of the Partners under this Section 8.4 shall be as they were prior to the delivery of the applicable Buy Sell Notice, except that the Purchasing Partner shall lose its right to initiate the buy sell procedures for a period of eighteen (18) months following the date of the Buy/Sell Notice. The charges of the Escrow Agent shall be paid by the Company. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Buy Sell Deposit in an interest bearing account pursuant to a written agreement among the Company and the Purchasing Partner and the Escrow Agent, which agreement shall be satisfactory to such parties in the exercise of their respective reasonable discretion and shall provide, among other things, that the Escrow Agent shall not commingle the Buy Sell Deposit with any other funds. In the event of a closing pursuant to the terms of this subsection 8.4(c), the Buy Sell Deposit, together with any interest earned thereon, shall be credited against the Buy Sell Purchase Price and paid to the Company. In the event of a default by the Purchasing Partner in its obligation to purchase the Buy Sell Property pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this subsection 8.4(c) (other than the failure of the Purchasing Partner to make the Buy Sell Deposit as aforesaid), the Buy Sell Deposit, and any interest thereon, shall be paid to the Company by the Escrow Agent promptly following written request therefor as the Non-Purchasing Partner’s and Company’s sole and exclusive remedy, and the Non-Purchasing Partner shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Purchasing Partner and the Company within thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of the Buy Sell Deposit, to purchase (pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.4) the Buy Sell Property

-33-


 

for cash at a price equal to the Buy Sell Purchase Price. If the Non-Purchasing Partner does not elect to purchase the Buy Sell Property, the rights of the Partners under this Section 8.4 shall be as they were prior to the delivery of the applicable Buy Sell Notice, except that the Purchasing Partner shall lose its right to initiate the buy sell procedures for a period of eighteen (18) months following the date of the Buy/Sell Notice. If the Non-Purchasing Partner shall cause the Company to default in any of its obligations under this subsection 8.4(c), the Buy Sell Deposit, and any interest earned thereon, shall be returned to the Purchasing Partner promptly following written request therefor, the Purchasing Partner shall have all other remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, an action for specific performance), and the Non-Purchasing Partner shall lose its right to initiate the buy sell procedures for a period of eighteen (18) months following the date of the Buy/Sell Notice. Upon deposit by the Purchasing Partner of the Buy Sell Deposit with the Escrow Agent as aforesaid, (i) a binding contract shall be deemed to exist between the Company and the Purchasing Partner with respect to the Buy Sell Property, and (ii) the closing shall be held pursuant to an escrow arrangement acceptable to the Purchasing Partner and the Company in the exercise of their reasonable judgment on a Business Day selected by the Purchasing Partner not less than thirty (30) days and not more than one hundred twenty (120) days from the Buy Sell Election Date. The Purchasing Partner shall pay the Buy Sell Purchase Price (less the Buy Sell Deposit and any interest earned thereon and as adjusted as provided herein) by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated in writing by the Company. At the closing, the Company shall deliver to Purchasing Partner a limited warranty deed for the Property, subject to all encumbrances of record, an assignment of leases, contracts, and general intangibles, a bill of sale, and any other documents necessary to effectuate such transfer. Any transfer, deed, documentary stamp or other tax due in connection with a Transfer of the Property pursuant to this Section 6.10(c) shall be paid by the Non-Purchasing Partner. In addition, at the closing, (i) items of income and expense with respect to the Property shall be apportioned as of 11:59 p.m. of the day preceding the closing date in accordance with local custom and (ii) the Purchasing Partner, at its expense, shall cause the Property to be transferred free and clear of all mortgage financings unless the Purchasing Partner shall elect to assume such mortgage financings, and the assumption is permitted by the terms of the applicable Financing Documents or consent for such assumption is obtained (in which event the Buy Sell Purchase Price shall be adjusted accordingly). All costs and expenses incurred in connection with assuming such mortgage financings shall be paid by the Purchasing Partner.
     (d) The Partners shall cooperate with each other to effectuate a transfer of the Property in a manner that will minimize transfer and other taxes and, if applicable, loan assumption fees including, without limitation, structuring (subject to Section 8.4(e)) any such transfer as an entity transfer to the extent reasonably feasible.
     (e) Subject to the prior written approval of all of the Partners and TTV Partners, the Purchasing Partner may, at its option, elect to acquire (and to have an Affiliate acquire the General Partner’s interests if the acquisition is to be of both general partner and limited partnership interests, in which case such Affiliate shall be deemed included within the term Purchasing Partner for purposes of this paragraph) all of the

-34-


 

Company Interests in the Non-Purchasing Partner in lieu of acquiring the Property by deed. If the Purchasing Partner shall elect to acquire all of the Company Interests in the Non-Purchasing Partner, the Non-Purchasing Partner shall deliver to the Purchasing Partner or its designee an assignment of all of the Non-Purchasing Partner’s Company Interest, which such assignment shall be free and clear of all legal and equitable claims (other than the legal and equitable claims, if any, of the Purchasing Partner pursuant to this Agreement) and all liens and encumbrances (other than liens and encumbrances under this Agreement and Financing Documents that shall remain in full force and effect following the closing). At the closing, the Non-Purchasing Partner and the Purchasing Partner shall execute an agreement acceptable to the Non-Purchasing Partner and the Purchasing Partner in the exercise of their reasonable judgment whereby (X) each shall represent and warrant to the other that each is duly organized, validly existing, has the necessary corporate power and authority to consummate the subject transactions and requires no consents which have not been obtained and (Y) the Non-Purchasing Partner shall represent to the Purchasing Partner that the Non-Purchasing Partner is the owner of its Company Interest free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than liens and encumbrances under this Agreement and Financing Documents that shall remain in full force and effect following the closing) and that the Transfer is being made free and clear of all legal and equitable claims (other than the legal and equitable claims of the Purchasing Partner pursuant to this Agreement).
     (f) The Purchasing Partner may, at its option, cause the Buy Sell Property to be acquired by one or more of Purchasing Partner’s designees (or, if the provisions of the prior paragraph are applicable, and the prior written approval of all of the Partners and TTV Partners has been obtained, to cause any Company Interest held by a Non-Purchasing Partner to be purchased by the Purchasing Partner and/or any one or more of the Purchasing Partner’s designees with appropriate modifications to the purchase agreement referred to in such paragraph); provided that any such assignment of the Purchasing Partner’s rights hereunder for purposes of accomplishing such purchase by any such designee shall not relieve the Purchasing Partner of any obligation or liability with respect thereto.
     (g) Each Partner agrees that it shall be reasonable and cooperate with the other Partners, including, without limitation, executing any documents which may be reasonably required, in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Section 8.4.
     (h) For purposes of the terms of this Section 8.4, Cedar LP and Cedar GP shall be deemed to be one Partner and shall act collectively except solely to the extent that the interests of each are to be transferred to different purchasers and, if HP shall acquire a Company Interest, HHUS and HP shall be deemed to be one Partner and shall act collectively except solely to the extent that the interests of each are to be transferred to different purchasers.

      SECTION 8.5. Right of First Refusal .
     (a) Upon receipt by the Company of a bona fide, arm’s length offer to sell the Property (which offer shall contain the material terms of the proposed transaction), the General Partner shall send a notice to the other Partners (which notice shall include a copy of such offer). In the event that a Partner elects, in its sole discretion, to consent to the sale of the Property on the terms of the offer, such Partner shall deliver notice of such acceptance (an “ Acceptance Notice ”) to the General Partner with copies to the other Partners. In the event that all of the Partners deliver Acceptance Notices to the General Partner, the General Partner shall, prior to accepting the offer on behalf of the Company, provide Cedar LP with a right of first refusal to acquire the Property on the same terms and conditions as contained in such offer. Cedar LP shall have fifteen (15) days from the date on which all of the Partners have delivered an Acceptance Notice to the General Partner to agree to purchase the Property on the terms contained in such offer. If Cedar LP agrees to purchase the Property on the terms contained in the offer by delivering a written notice of such acceptance to the other Partners and, within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such notice, depositing with the Escrow Agent the deposit provided for in the terms of the offer, or if such terms do not provide for a deposit, an amount equal to the greater of $250,000 and five percent (5%) of the proposed purchase price (the “ ROFR Deposit ”), a binding contract of sale shall be deemed to exist between Cedar LP and the Company with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property. If Cedar LP does not elect to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of such offer within such fifteen-day period, or fails to deliver the ROFR Deposit to the Escrow Agent within such ten Business Day period, the Company shall have the right to sell the Property pursuant to the terms of such offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the sale shall not be consummated pursuant to the terms of such offer within one hundred twenty (120) days, or if the terms of such offer are changed in a manner materially detrimental to the Company, the Company shall once again comply with the terms of this Section 8.5 prior to consummating a sale of the Property.
     (b) If Cedar LP elects to purchase the Property, it may, at its option, cause the Property to be acquired by one or more of its designees, provided that any such assignment of Cedar LP’s rights hereunder for the purpose of accomplishing such purpose shall not relieve Cedar LP of any obligation or liability with respect thereto.
     (c) The Company and each of the Partners shall cooperate in good faith with Cedar LP in connection with any such acquisition.
     (d) Subject to the prior written approval of all of the Partners and TTV Partners, Cedar LP may, at its option, elect to acquire all of the Company Interests of HHUS in lieu of acquiring the Property by deed. If Cedar LP shall elect to acquire all of the Company Interests of HHUS, the purchase price shall be adjusted equitably by the Partners, and HHUS shall deliver to Cedar LP or its designee an assignment of all of the Company Interests of HHUS, which such assignment shall be free and clear of all legal and equitable claims (other than the legal and equitable claims, if any, of Cedar LP pursuant to this Agreement) and all liens and encumbrances (other than liens and encumbrances under this Agreement and Financing Documents that shall remain in full

-36-


 

force and effect following the closing). At the closing, Cedar LP and HHUS shall execute an agreement acceptable to each of Cedar LP and HHUS in the exercise of their reasonable judgment whereby (i) each shall represent and warrant to the other that each is duly organized, validly existing, has the necessary corporate power and authority to consummate the subject transactions and requires no consents which have not been obtained and (ii) HHUS shall represent to Cedar LP that it is the owner of its Company Interest free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than liens and encumbrances under this Agreement and Financing Documents that shall remain in full force and effect following the closing) and that the Transfer is being made free and clear of all legal and equitable claims (other than the legal and equitable claims of Cedar LP pursuant to this Agreement).
      SECTION 8.6. Bankruptcy or Withdrawal of a Partner . Upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event or any other occurrence with respect to a Partner of any event which under the Delaware Act causes the Partner to cease to be a partner of a limited partnership (a “ Withdrawal Event ”), the Partner affected by such Withdrawal Event shall, unless the other Partners shall otherwise consent within ninety (90) days of such Withdrawal Event, be deemed to have withdrawn as a Partner on the expiration of such ninety (90) day period. In the event that a Partner is deemed to have withdrawn from the Company pursuant to this Section 8.6, then such Partner (a “ Withdrawn Partner ”) shall continue to have the rights of an assignee of its Company Interest which was not admitted as a Partner and shall not be entitled to participate in the management of the Company or to vote, approve or consent to any matter for which the vote, approval or consent of any Partners is required. Unless the Partners (other than the Withdrawn Partner) otherwise agree, the Company shall not terminate or dissolve upon the occurrence of a Withdrawal Event, provided (to the extent required by any Financing Document) that in the event that the Company has two or more General Partners at least one of which is solvent, the Partners shall not agree to terminate or dissolve the Company upon the occurrence of a Withdrawal Event. No Partner shall withdraw or retire from the Company without the prior written consent of all of the other Partners and TTV Partners, except in connection with a Transfer of its entire Company Interest as expressly permitted under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Partner hereby waives any and all rights such Partner may have to withdraw and/or resign from the Company pursuant to Sections 17-602 and 17-603 of the Delaware Act and hereby waives any and all rights such Partner may have to receive the fair value of such Partner’s Company Interest upon such resignation and/or withdrawal pursuant to Section 17-604 of the Delaware Act, and such Partner shall continue to hold its Company Interest in accordance with the provisions hereof.
      SECTION 8.7. Death or Incompetency of an Individual Partner . Upon the death or legal incompetency of an individual Limited Partner (including a substituted Limited Partner), his or her legally authorized personal representatives shall have all of the rights of a Limited Partner for the purpose of settling or managing his or her estate, and shall have such power as the decedent, incompetent, bankrupt or insolvent individual Limited Partner possessed hereunder to make an assignment of his or her interest in the Partnership in accordance with the terms hereof. No such representative shall be admitted as a Limited Partner in the Partnership except in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.1 and Section 12.3 hereof.

-37-


 

      SECTION 8.8. Withdrawal Rights . If at any time the Partnership shall have more than one General Partner, a General Partner may withdraw as a General Partner of the Partnership upon obtaining the written consent of all of the other Partners and, except in the event of a withdrawal by Cedar GP, the TTV Partners, to such withdrawal. From and after the effective date of any such withdrawal, the withdrawing General Partner shall automatically cease to serve as the General Partner of the Partnership and such General Partner’s Company Interest shall be deemed to be converted to a limited partnership interest in the Partnership and all references in this Agreement to the “General Partner” shall be deemed to be references to the remaining General Partner only.
      SECTION 8.9. Transparent Status .
     (a) Any Limited Partner that is a Tax Transparent Vehicle (a “ Limited Partner TTV ”) shall provide in its partnership agreement or other constitutional documents that (i) the general partner (or its functional equivalent) of such Limited Partner TTV shall have the authority in its sole discretion to approve the admission or substitution of limited partners (or the functional equivalent) of such Limited Partner TTV or (ii) the consent of all of the partners in such Limited Partner TTV shall be required in connection with such Limited Partner’s consent to a Transfer of a limited partnership interest in the Company.
     (b) If the Company shall invest as a limited partner in a Tax Transparent Vehicle (a “ Subsidiary TTV ”), the constitutional documents or bylaws of such Subsidiary TTV shall require the prior written consent of all of the Partners for any transfer of partnership interests in such Subsidiary TTV.
     (c) If applicable, upon the request of HP in connection with HP’s admission to the Company and from time to time thereafter, Cedar LP shall provide to HP excerpts from Cedar’s limited partnership agreement for purposes of allowing HP to determine whether Cedar shall not qualify as a transparent entity for Dutch tax purposes. If Cedar shall amend its limited partnership agreement to provide that the consent of all limited partners is needed for the issuance or transfer of a limited partner interest in Cedar, Cedar GP shall provide written notice to HP of such event.
ARTICLE IX
BROKERS
      SECTION 9.1. Brokers . Each Partner represents and warrants to the other Partners that it has not dealt with any real estate broker or finder in connection with the formation of the Company or the transactions contemplated herein.

R E C I T A L S:
     WHEREAS, the Partnership was formed as a limited liability company pursuant to the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, 6 Del. C. §§ 18-101 et seq ., by the filing of a Certificate of Formation for the Partnership with the Secretary of State of Delaware on [____________], [_____________] (the “ Certificate of Formation ”);
     WHEREAS, Cedar LP and Cedar GP, as the sole members of the Partnership, elected to convert the Partnership from being a limited liability company to being a limited partnership under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (6 Del. C. §§ 18-100 et seq .) and the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Delaware (6 Del. C. §§17-101 et seq ., as amended from time to time, the “ Delaware Act ”) with Cedar LP becoming the sole limited partner with a 99% Percentage Interest (as that term is defined below) and Cedar GP becoming the sole general partner with a 1% Percentage Interest, and caused a certificate of conversion (the “ Certificate of Conversion ”) and a certificate of limited partnership (the “ Certificate of Limited Partnership ”) for the Partnership to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on [______________], 2007 to effect such conversion.
     NOW, THEREFORE, the undersigned hereby adopts the following as its “limited partnership agreement” (as that term is used in the Delaware Act):
     1.  Organization and Background .
     (a) The Partnership was originally organized on or about [__________________] as a [Delaware] limited liability company under the name

All rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of the Prior Entity shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Prior Entity shall remain attached to the Partnership and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities, obligations and duties had originally been incurred or contracted by it in its capacity as the Partnership. The rights, privileges, powers and interests in property of the Prior Entity, as well as the debts, liabilities and duties of the Prior Entity, shall not be deemed, as a consequence of the conversion, to have been transferred to the Partnership.

Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, no other person shall be admitted as a partner of the Partnership, and no additional interest in the Partnership shall be issued, without the approval of the Partners.
          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of a Partner shall not cause the Partner to cease to be a partner of the Partnership and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of the Partnership shall continue without dissolution.

regulation, if the proceeding has not been dismissed, or if within 90 days after the appointment without such person’s or entity’s consent or acquiescence of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of such person or entity or of all or any substantial part of its properties, the appointment is not vacated or stayed, or within 90 days after the expiration of any such stay, the appointment is not vacated. The foregoing definition of “Bankruptcy” is intended to replace and shall supersede and replace any definition of “Bankruptcy” set forth in the Delaware Act.
     8.  Management . In accordance with Section 17-403 of the Delaware Act, management of the Partnership shall be vested in the General Partner. The General Partner shall have the power to do any and all acts necessary, convenient or incidental to or for the furtherance of the purposes described herein, including all powers, statutory or otherwise, possessed by partners of a limited partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware. The General Partner has the authority to bind the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 8 are subject to the provisions contained in Section 21 hereof.

The Partnership shall, as soon as reasonably practical, make monthly distributions and biannual adjusting distributions of the Partnership’s net cash flow available for distribution, including distributions of net cash flow from operations, net proceeds of any interim capital transaction and net proceeds available upon dissolution and winding up of the Partnership (such net cash flow, net proceeds from interim capital transactions and net proceeds upon dissolution and winding up of the Partnership being herein sometimes referred to as the “ Distributable Cash ”) (in each case after establishment of appropriate and reasonable reserves) to the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership, or any partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not be required to make a distribution to the Partners on account of its interest in the Partnership if such distribution would violate the Delaware Act or any other applicable law.
     14.  Dissolution and Termination .

     (i) The expiration of the term of the Partnership;
     (ii) The sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets.
     (iii) The termination of the legal existence of the general partner of the Partnership or the withdrawal of the general partner, or at such time as there are no limited partners, unless the business of the Partnership is continued in a manner permitted by this Agreement or Section 17-801 or other applicable provisions of the Delaware Act; or
     (iv) The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 17-802 of the Delaware Act.
          Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the general partner or the last remaining limited partner of the Partnership to cease to be a partner of the Partnership, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the successor to or personal representative of such partner is hereby authorized to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued partnership of such partner in the Partnership, agree in writing (i) to continue the Partnership and (ii) to the admission of the successor or personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute partner of the Partnership, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued partnership of the general partner or the last remaining limited partner of the Partnership.

5


 

          (c) Upon dissolution, the Partnership’s business shall be liquidated in an orderly manner. The General Partner shall act as the liquidating trustee to wind up the business of the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement. If there shall be no remaining General Partner, the successor-in-interest of the General Partner may approve one or more liquidating trustees to act as the liquidator in carrying out such liquidation. In performing its duties, the liquidator is authorized to sell, distribute, exchange or otherwise dispose of the assets of the Partnership in accordance with the Delaware Act and in any reasonable manner that the liquidator shall determine to be in the best interest of the General Partner or its successors-in-interest.
          (d) In the event it becomes necessary in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership to make a distribution of property in kind, such property shall be transferred and conveyed to the Partners pro rata to their Percentage Interests.
          (e) The Partnership shall terminate when (i) all of the assets of the Partnership, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership, shall have been distributed to the Partners in the manner provided for in this Agreement and (ii) the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Delaware Act.
     15.  Indemnification . The Partners shall not be liable to the Partnership for monetary damages for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from any act or omission performed or omitted by it arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership’s business or affairs, except for any such loss, claim, damage or liability primarily attributable to such Partner’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Partnership shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Partners against any losses, claims damages or liabilities to which the Partners may become subject in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership’s business or affairs, except for any such loss, claim, damage or liability primarily attributable to such Partner’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any Partner becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership’s business or affairs, the Partnership shall reimburse such Partner for its reasonable legal fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) as they are incurred in connection therewith, provided that such Partner shall promptly repay to the Partnership the amount of any such reimbursed expenses paid to it if it shall ultimately be determined that such Partner was not entitled to be indemnified by the Partnership in connection with such action, proceeding or investigation. If for any reason (other than the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Partner) the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Partner, or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Partnership shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Partner as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership on the one hand and the Partner on the other hand or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also any other relevant equitable considerations. The provisions of this Paragraph 14 shall survive for a period of four (4) years from the date of dissolution of the Partnership; provided that if at the end of such period there are any actions, proceedings or investigations then pending, a Partner may so notify the Partnership (which notice shall include a brief description of each such action,

6


 

proceeding or investigation and the liabilities asserted therein) and the provisions of this Paragraph 14 shall survive with respect to each such action, proceeding or investigation set forth in such notice (or any related action, proceeding or investigation based upon the same or similar claim) until such date that such action, proceeding or investigation is finally resolved, and the obligations of the Partnership under this 14 shall be satisfied solely out of Company assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of the Partnership or the Partners under this Paragraph 14 shall (i) be in addition to any liability which the Partnership or the Partners may otherwise have and (ii) inure to the benefit of the Partners, its affiliates and their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates and any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of such persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for so long as the Loan (as hereinafter defined) shall be outstanding, any obligations of the Partnership to indemnify any Partner are hereby fully subordinated to the Partnership’s obligations respecting the Loan and shall not constitute a claim against the Partnership in the event that cash flow in excess of amounts required to pay holders of any debt evidenced by the Loan is insufficient to pay such obligations.
     16.  Liability of the Partner . Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Delaware Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Partnership, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Partnership, and the Partners shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Partnership solely by reason of being the partner. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Delaware Act, the liability of the Partners shall be limited to the amount of capital contributions, if any, required to be made by the Partner in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, but only when and to the extent the same shall become due pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
     17.  Waiver of Partition and Nature of Interest in the Partnership . To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partners hereby irrevocably waive any right or power that a Partner might have to cause the Partnership or any of its assets to be partitioned, to cause the appointment of a receiver for all or any portion of the assets of the Partnership, to compel any sale of all or any portion of the assets of the Partnership pursuant to any applicable law, or to file a complaint or to institute any proceeding at law or in equity to cause the termination, dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership. The Partners shall not have any interest in any specific assets of the Partnership.

The Partnership shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in a manner customary and consistent with good accounting principles, practices and procedures, a comprehensive system of office records, books and accounts (which records, books and accounts shall be and remain the property of the Partnership) in which shall be entered fully and accurately each and every financial transaction with respect to the ownership and operation of the property of the Partnership. Such books and records of account shall be prepared and maintained at the principal place of business of the Partnership or such other place or places as may from time to time be determined by the Partner. The Partners or their duly authorized representative shall have the right to inspect, examine and copy such books and records of account at the Partnership’s office during reasonable business hours. A reasonable charge for copying books and records may be charged by the Partnership. The books of the Partnership shall be adjusted quarterly to the accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
[___________________]
     THIS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) made as of [___________________] ___, 2007 by and between [___________________], LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Owner”) and CEDAR SHOPPING CENTERS PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Agent”).
BACKGROUND
     A. Owner is the owner of the land and improvements known as [___________________], located in [___________________] (the “Property”).
     B. Owner desires to retain Agent as its exclusive agent for the purposes of leasing and managing the Property on behalf of Owner and Agent is willing to act as agent for Owner with respect to the Property on the terms and conditions of the Agreement as more fully set forth herein.
     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and covenants herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Owner and Agent agree as follows:
     1. Owner hereby employs Agent to manage and lease as the exclusive broker the property upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth for an initial term of three (3) years from the date hereof unless otherwise extended, renewed or terminated as hereinafter set forth.
     2. Agent agrees to perform the following:
     2.1. Use its best efforts to lease or cause brokers or other agents to lease on behalf of Owner all available space in the Property;
     2.2. Diligently to collect rents, additional rents and all other sums due from tenants when due and, where necessary or appropriate, and except as directed otherwise by Owner (in which event Owner shall bear the administrative costs of relieving Agent of such duty or duties), take all such actions as Agent shall deem necessary or advisable to enforce all rights and remedies of Owner under the leases relating to the Property (the “Leases”) or to protect the interest of Owner, including, without limitation, the preparation and delivery to tenants under the Leases (“Tenants”) of all “late payment”, default, and other appropriate notices, requests, bills, demands, and statements. Agent may retain counsel, collection agencies, and such other persons and firms as Agent shall deem appropriate or advisable to enforce, after notification to Owner, by legal action the rights and remedies of Owner against any Tenant default in the performance of its obligations under a Lease. Agent shall promptly notify Owner of the progress of any such legal action;
     2.3. To pay from the operating funds of the Property or such other funds as are provided by Owner bills and expenses for the maintenance, repair and operation of the Property, provided, however, that all expenditures in excess of $10,000 in any single transaction or more than $100,000 in the aggregate in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months shall be subject

 


 

to Owner’s approval unless such expenditure is included in the operating budget for the Property that has been approved by Owner, and provided further that Agent shall notify Owner of any budget expenditures cumulatively exceeding twenty percent (20%) of any approved annual budget;
     2.4. To establish and maintain such books of account, records, and other documentation pertaining to the operation and maintenance of the Property as are customarily maintained by managing agents of properties similar in location and size to that of the Property. Agent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file all returns and other reports relating to the Property, other than income tax returns and any reports or returns that may be required of any foreign owner of U.S. real property, as may be required by any governmental authority or otherwise under this Agreement. Agent shall periodically report to Owner on the general operations, occupancy, physical condition, disbursements, delinquencies, uncollectible accounts, and other matters relating to the Property. Agent shall prepare and forward to Owner a written report each month showing the receipts and expenditures for such month, the receipts and expenditures year-to-date and the variations from the agreed upon budget. These statements shall, upon Owner’s request, be accompanied by appropriate documentation of all expenditures made by Agent under this Agreement. As soon as practicable after the end of each calendar year and after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Agent shall use reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to Owner statements pertaining to the operation and maintenance of the Property during the preceding calendar year. Agent shall prepare and submit to Owner for its approval no later than December 1st of each calendar year (or such later date as the parties agree) a proposed pro forma budget for all costs pertaining to the operation and maintenance of the Property during the ensuing calendar year. Each such budget shall be substantially in the same form as the approved budget in effect for the prior calendar year, shall set forth expenditures on an annual and a monthly basis, and shall not, except for informational purposes, include estimates for costs and expenses for which Owner will be reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases. Agent shall make such reasonable modifications to each proposed pro forma budget it prepares in accordance with this section until Owner shall have approved this budget in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such budget and revisions shall be deemed to be accepted and approved by Owner unless specifically rejected or accepted within fifteen (15) business days of submission;
     2.5. To account for all advance deposits of Tenants;
     2.6. To refund to Tenants from escrow accounts, funds of the Property or funds provided by Owner, as appropriate, pro-rated rents, rebates, allowances, advance deposit refunds, and such other amounts as are legally due Tenants;

     2.8. Unless otherwise instructed by Owner, to secure for and on behalf of and at the expense of Owner such insurance, including without limitation, employee dishonesty insurance, fire and extended coverage property insurance, public liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance, as may be deemed by Owner (or any mortgagees) to be necessary or appropriate, in amounts satisfactory to Owner and Agent and naming Owner and Agent as

2


 

co-insureds and in form and substance satisfactory to Owner, Agent and any mortgagees; provided, however, that if Agent promptly notifies Owner of the insurance so secured on behalf of Owner, and promptly complies with Owner’s instructions regarding such insurance, Owner releases and holds Agent harmless of and from any claims, loss, damages and liability of any nature whatsoever based upon or in any way relating to Agent’s securing or failure to secure any insurance, or any decision made by Agent with respect to the amount or extent of coverage thereof or the company or companies issuing, brokering or negotiating such insurance;
     2.9. To respond to complaints and inquiries by Tenants, prospective tenants and others, and to take such corrective actions as Agent deems appropriate;
     2.10. To contract on behalf of and at the expense of Owner for such supplies and services in reasonable quantities and at reasonable prices as may be appropriate with respect to the Property, and to supervise and administer such contracts, including, without limitation, contracts for mechanical maintenance (including preventative maintenance), window and facade maintenance and cleaning, metal maintenance, pest control, trash removal, janitorial and maintenance supplies, building security, public relations, collection and credit reporting, legal and accounting services, computer services, architectural and engineering services, laundry services, and janitorial or cleaning services. In so contracting, Agent may contract with entities or persons affiliated with it, provided, however, that the rates and charges of the affiliated entity or person are generally competitive and consistent with rates and charges by non-affiliated entities and will obtain a minimum of two (2) competitive bids from non-affiliated contractors respecting any contract exceeding Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent shall not enter into, amend or modify any contract of the type described in this Section 2.10 without the prior approval of Owner unless such contract (A) is either (x) contained within the then current operating budget for the Property that has been approved by Owner pursuant to this Agreement or (y) terminable without termination fee, premium or penalty by Owner upon not more than thirty (30) days notice and (B) does not provide or allow for annual consideration payable thereunder in excess of $100,000;

     2.12. At the expense of Owner in accordance with the approved budget, to provide through Agent’s (or its affiliates’) employees or third party contractors, all work, labor and services necessary or appropriate to operate, maintain and repair the Property, which employees may include, but are not necessarily limited to, a building executive director or supervisor, building manager, leasing specialist or leasing agent, secretarial and clerical staff, maintenance personnel, porters, laborers, security staff and watchmen. All matters pertaining to the employment, contracting, supervision, compensation, promotion and discharge of such employees or contractors shall be the responsibility of Agent;
     2.13. To supervise and coordinate the moving in and moving out of Tenants to accomplish efficient and time saving use of personnel and elevators and maintain appropriate public relations with Tenants and prospective tenants;
     2.14. To prepare and file and/or cause to be prepared and filed necessary forms for insurance, hospitalization, benefits, social security taxes, union dues and contributions and such

3


 

other forms, documents and returns as may be required by any governmental authority, a collective bargaining agreement, or otherwise with respect to employees and contractors, if applicable, of Agent at the Property;
     2.15. To prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed on behalf of Owner such applications for permits, and/or licenses as may be required for the operation of the Property;
     2.16. To prepare and, where appropriate, transmit payroll records, accounting reports, vacancy and occupancy reports, delinquency reports, cash flow reports, and disbursement ledgers. Agent may contract with others, including but not limited to entities or persons affiliated with it, or provide its own personnel for the performance of accounting, bookkeeping and computer services in connection with such preparation and transmittal, all without any additional charge to Owner;
     2.17. To institute and prosecute on behalf of Owner such legal actions or proceedings as the Agent deems appropriate; to collect sums due Owner; with Owner’s approval, to evict a Tenant, former Tenant or occupant of the Property; to regain possession of the Property or any part thereof; to contest any bill or charge asserted against or with respect to the Property; to defend any administrative or legal action brought against Agent and/or Owner with respect to the Property; with Owner’s approval, to commence litigation pertaining to any labor or employment related dispute; to administratively process or litigate any tax related issue or other issues relating to the Property; to appeal all such proceedings and lawsuits; and to settle or compromise any claims, lawsuits, judgments and proceedings relating to the Property.

     3. Owner expressly withholds from Agent any power or authority to make any structural changes in any building or to make any other major alterations or additions in or to any such building or equipment therein, or to incur any expense chargeable to Owner other than expenses related to exercising the express powers above vested in Agent without the prior written direction of Owner (or any party that Owner shall direct), except such emergency repairs as may be required because of danger to life or property or which are immediately necessary for the preservation and safety of the Property or the safety of the occupants thereof or are required to avoid the suspension of any necessary service to the Property.
     3.1. Agent agrees to remit promptly to the account designated by Owner, all receipts received in the prior calendar month with respect to the Property in excess of budgeted operating expenses and reserves.
     4. Owner shall, at all times, provide necessary funds to maintain and operate the Property as efficiently as possible and in a first class manner in keeping with the standards of operations for similarly situated shopping centers in the area. Owner shall advance such funds to Agent no later than thirty (30) days after its receipt from Agent of notice of the necessity for such advance. Owner agrees to provide any anticipated cash deficits thirty (30) days prior to its occurrence.
     5. Except as otherwise provided for herein, Owner shall pay to Agent a property management fee in an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the gross receipts of the Property (the “Management Fee”). This fee shall be payable in monthly installments from the operating accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.18 hereof. Gross receipts of the Property shall include all rents, percentage rents, tenant charges, reimbursements from Tenants for common area maintenance charges, insurance, utilities and real estate taxes and such other amounts as are collected from Tenants and shall exclude the proceeds from any sale or refinancing of the Property or any portion thereof and the proceeds of any settlements, insurance award (except as provided in Section 2.25) or condemnation award. The Management Fee does not include payment for leasing services, which shall be payable to Agent pursuant to Section 5.2 below.
     5.1. To the extent that operating revenues of the Property are insufficient to pay the Management Fee in full when due, and to the extent that Agent agrees in writing in advance to defer receipt by it of any part of the Management Fee due it, the amount so deferred shall bear interest at the rate of two (2) percentage points in excess of the “prime rate” or “base rate” from time to time announced by Citibank, N.A., New York New York compounded monthly. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be construed to obligate Agent to defer receipt by it of any Management Fee or other fees whatsoever.
     5.2. Agent or its affiliate shall be the leasing agent for the Property. Owner shall pay Agent or its affiliate a leasing commission for each lease signed by a tenant and Owner at any time between March 26, 2007 and the date this Agreement shall expire or sooner terminate (a “Leasing Commission”) in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the full base rent (regardless of how such rent is denominated therein) payable under such lease during the entire primary term thereof, provided that such fees shall not exceed 50% in the aggregate with respect to any such primary term. In the event of a lease renewal, the Leasing Commission payable to Agent shall be in an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the full base rent (regardless of how

6


 

such rent is denominated therein) payable thereunder during the entire renewal term of such lease, provided that such fees shall not exceed 25% in the aggregate with respect to any such renewal term. The full amount of any Leasing Commission due hereunder shall be payable to Agent or its affiliate upon the payment by the tenant to Owner of the first month’s rent due under the applicable lease or lease renewal. In addition, Owner shall reimburse Manager for the reasonable actual out-of pocket costs of all advertising plans and promotional materials and all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Agent in connection with the leasing of any space at the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if one or more outside brokers were engaged by Owner and are entitled to receive a leasing commission in connection with the procurement of (A) a new lease, then the Leasing Commission payable to Agent hereunder with respect thereto shall be equal to the sum of (x) two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the full base rent payable under such lease during the entire primary term thereof plus (y) one-half of the difference between five percent (5%) of the full base rent payable under such lease during the entire primary term thereof and the amount to be paid to the outside broker pursuant to a written brokerage agreement or (B) the renewal of a lease, then the Leasing Commission payable to Agent hereunder with respect thereto shall be equal to the sum of (x) one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) of the full base rent payable under such lease during the entire renewal term thereof plus (y) one-half of the difference between two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the full base rent payable under such lease during the entire renewal term thereof and the amount to be paid to the outside broker pursuant to a written brokerage agreement.
     5.3. Upon the sale or transfer, directly or indirectly, of the Property by Owner by deed, or by transfer of all of the partnership interests in Owner, Owner shall pay to Agent a disposition fee (a “Disposition Fee”) equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the gross sales price paid by the purchaser of the Property; provided, however, that any Disposition Fee payable hereunder shall not exceed $150,000. The Disposition Fee shall be deemed earned, and, therefore, shall be paid, as and when title to the Property closes and without regard to whether one or more outside brokers were engaged in connection with such sale or transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Agent or any of its affiliates shall be partners of Owner (Agent or such affiliated partner(s) in their respective capacity as partners of Owner, being “Cedar Affiliated Partner(s)”), Agent shall not be entitled to a Disposition Fee hereunder in the event of any transfer of interests in Owner by and among any of the then existing partners of Owner or any sale or transfer by deed of the Property to any of the then existing partners of Owner.
     5.4. Upon any financing or refinancing by debt, sale and leaseback or other form of financing with respect to the Property (other than in connection with (i) the Loan described in Section 17 below 2 , (ii) any company loan from any partner of Owner to Owner (and any third-party loan for an amount less than $250,000 used to repay such company loan) and (iii) any trade payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), Owner shall pay to Manager a financing fee (the “Financing Fee”) equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the original principal amount of the Financing; provided, however, that any Financing Fee payable hereunder shall not exceed $50,000. The Financing Fee shall be deemed earned, and, therefore, shall be paid, as and when the subject financing closes and without regard to whether one or more outside brokers were engaged in connection with such financing.

     6. Owner shall reimburse Agent for reasonable, actual out-of-pocket expenses including telephone and facsimile charges, postage and express mail service and travel and food expenses incurred by Agent in connection with Agent’s on site supervision of the Property by Agent’s officers and personnel (evidenced by receipts submitted to Owner).

     8. In performing its obligations hereunder, Agent shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.
     9. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period of three (3) years from the date hereof and this Agreement shall automatically renew from year to year thereafter unless and until terminated by either party upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice thereof.

This Agreement shall terminate automatically if:
          (i) all or substantially all of the Property is condemned or acquired by eminent domain; or
          (ii) all or substantially all of the Property is destroyed by fire or other casualty as a result of which all or substantially all of the Tenants are unable to continue the normal conduct of their business in their respective occupied spaces and are permanently released under their respective leases from the payment of all rent thereunder; or
          (iii) all of the Property is sold to an unrelated, third-party purchaser; or
          (iv) unless otherwise agreed to in writing between Owner and Agent, upon (x) the transfer by all of the Cedar Affiliated Partners of all of their respective partnership interests in Owner to any other then existing partners of Owner or to any other unaffiliated persons or entities or (y) the sale of the Property to any of the then existing partners of Owner.
     10. Owner shall pay or reimburse Agent for any monies due it under this Agreement for services prior to termination, notwithstanding termination of this Agreement. All provisions of this Agreement that require Owner to have insured or to defend, reimburse or indemnify Agent shall survive any termination and, if Agent is or becomes involved in any proceeding or litigation by reason of having been Owner’s Agent, such provisions shall apply as if this Agreement were still in effect. Owner agrees that Agent may withhold funds for thirty (30) days after the end of the month in which this Agreement is terminated to pay bills previously incurred but not yet invoiced, and to close accounts.
     11. Owner agrees to release, indemnify, defend, and save the Agent, its officers and employees harmless from and against all claims, disputes, losses, liabilities and suits (including

8


 

but not limited to all attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses and Agent’s costs in connection therewith) in any way:
          (i) relating to or arising in connection with the Property and/or damage to property and injuries to or death of any employee, invitee or other person whomsoever, and/or Agent’s performance of its duties hereunder;
          (ii) relating to any proceeding or suit involving an alleged violation by Owner of any law applicable to the Property or operations thereof; and
          (iii) relating to obligations assumed by Agent, its officers or employees in connection with any financing or refinancing entered into in connection with the Property.
     11.1. The obligations of Owner to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse Agent are subject to the following conditions:
          (i) Agent shall promptly notify Owner of any matter with respect to which Owner is required to indemnify, hold harmless, or reimburse Agent; and
          (ii) Agent shall not take or fail to take any actions, including an admission of liability, which would bar Owner from enforcing any applicable coverage under policies of insurance held by Owner or would prejudice any defense of Owner in any appropriate legal proceedings pertaining to any such matter or otherwise prevent Owner from defending itself with respect to any such matter, provided such action or failure to act resulted from the gross negligence or willful malfeasance of Agent.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall not be required to indemnify, hold harmless, or reimburse Agent with respect to any matter to the extent the same resulted from the gross negligence or willful malfeasance of Agent or actions taken by Agent outside of the scope of Agent’s authority under this Agreement or any express or implied direction of Owner.
          The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
     12. Owner and Agent shall each waive any claim for loss or damage against the other and mutually agree to hold each other harmless for loss to the Property to the extent that either party is reimbursed or indemnified by insurance coverage.
     13. Agent will promptly notify Owner of any violations of any requirements of any statute, ordinance, law or regulation of any Governmental body or any public authority or official thereof having jurisdiction and shall promptly take all actions necessary to cure such violations and to prevent any civil or criminal liability from being imposed.
     14. In the event (A) it is alleged or charged that the Property or any equipment therein or any act or failure to act by the Owner or its agents with respect to the Property or the sale, rental, or other disposition thereof fails to comply with, or is in violation of, any of the requirements of any provision, statute, ordinance, law, or regulation of any Governmental body or any order or ruling of any public authority or official thereof having or claiming to have

9


 

jurisdiction thereover, (B) Agent notifies Owner of such violation pursuant to Section 2.21 and Owner fails to contest such violation in good faith and/or to commence and diligently prosecute to completion (or permit Agent, at Owner’s expense to commence and diligently prosecute) the cure of such violation, and (C) Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, considers that the action or position of Owner may result in damage or liability to Agent, Agent shall have the right to cancel this Agreement at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Owner of its election so to do, which cancellation shall be effective upon the service of such notice. Such notice may be served personally or by United States certified mail, and if served by mail shall be deemed to have been served when deposited in the United States mail system. Such cancellation shall not release the indemnities of Owner and Agent set forth herein and shall not terminate (i) any liability or obligation of Owner to Agent for any payment, reimbursement, or other sum of money then due and payable to Agent hereunder as of the date of such cancellation, or (ii) any obligation of Agent to remit moneys to Owner or to complete its obligations hereunder to the date of such cancellation. Agent shall cooperate with Owner to ensure a smooth and efficient transition to a new managing agent, including but not limited to, prompt delivery of files relating to the Property.
     15. Agent agrees to release, indemnify, defend and save Owner harmless from and against all claims, disputes, losses, liabilities and suits (including but not limited to all attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses and Owner’s costs in connection therewith) in any way resulting from the gross negligence or willful malfeasance of Agent, or its employees:

4.   The undersigned is making this affidavit for the purpose of inducing Lawyers Title issue the Endorsement, knowing that Lawyers Title will rely on the certifications made herein, and that without the certifications in this affidavit, Lawyers Title would not issue the Endorsement.

AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT
     This agreement (“Loan Agreement” or “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 17th day of October, 2008, by and between CEDAR SHOPPING CENTERS PARTNERSHIP, L.P. , a Delaware limited partnership having an address at 44 South Bayles Avenue, Port Washington, New York 11050 (“Borrower”), KEYBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION , a national banking association having an address at 225 Franklin Street, 18th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts, 02110; MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS TRUST COMPANY , a New York banking corporation having an address at One M&T Plaza, Buffalo, New York 14203; TD BANK, N.A. , having an address at 15 Park Street, Framingham, Massachusetts 01702; REGIONS BANK having an address at 1900 5 th Ave. N., 15 th Floor, Birmingham, Alabama 35203; CITIZENS BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA having an address at 1215 Superior Ave., 6 th Floor, Cleveland, Ohio 44114; RAYMOND JAMES BANK, FSB , having an address at 710 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716; and TRISTATE CAPITAL BANK , having an address at 789 E. Lancaster Avenue, Suite 240, Villanova, Pennsylvania 19085, and the other lending institutions which are or may hereafter become parties to the Loan Agreement (as defined below), as the Lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), and KEYBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION , a national banking association having an address at 225 Franklin Street, 18th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts, 02110 as administrative agent on behalf of the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”).
WITNESSETH:
     1.  BACKGROUND .
     1.1 Defined Terms . Capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined either in Exhibit A , or in specific sections of this Agreement, or in another Loan Document, as referenced in Exhibit A .
     1.2 Borrower . Borrower is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware of which the sole general partner is CSC.
     1.3 Use of Loan Proceeds . Borrower has applied to Lenders for a revolving loan of not to exceed up to TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($250,000,000.00), with an initial Established Loan Amount of One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($150,000,000.00) (“Loan”), the proceeds of which are to be used (a) to provide funds for the acquisition, development, construction, expansion, and renovation, of real estate properties by the Borrower, CSC, and the Borrower Subsidiaries, (b) to pay certain closing and transactional costs as

-1-


 

approved by the Administrative Agent, and (c) for other lawful REIT purposes, including, without limitation, the disbursements on the Funding Date.
     1.4 Guaranties . As an inducement to Lenders to make the Loan, CEDAR SHOPPING CENTERS, INC., a Maryland corporation (“CSC”), and each Borrowing Base Property Owner (severally and collectively called “Guarantor” or “Guarantors”) have agreed to furnish guaranties to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. The establishment of the facility provided for herein and the making of the Loan is in the best interest of each of the Guarantors as the proceeds of the Loan are being, or may be, used to satisfy Debt of certain of the Guarantors and to make available funds to the Guarantors for working capital purposes and for acquisitions, development, capital expenditures, and refinancings of real estate properties. The Lenders have advised the Borrower that the Lenders will not establish this facility without the Guaranty from the Guarantors.
     1.5 Loan . Subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, and of the agreements and instruments referred to herein, each of the Lenders agrees severally to make a loan to the Borrower up to a maximum aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment, and Borrower agrees to accept and repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
     2.  LOAN PROVISIONS .
     2.1 General Loan Provisions .
          2.1.1 Limit .
               (i) Subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders hereby agree to lend to Borrower, and Borrower may borrow, reborrow and repay from time to time sums (the “Loan Advances”) between the date hereof and the Maturity Date; provided , that (a) the aggregate of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan plus (2) the L/C Exposure, shall at no time exceed (b) the least of (1) the Established Loan Amount, (2) the Total Commitment, or (3) the Availability (the least of (1), (2) or (3), the “Maximum Loan Amount”).
               (ii) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and independent and not joint. Failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not result in any other Lender becoming obligated to advance more than its Commitment Percentage of the Loan.
               (iii) Provided no Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence, the Borrower may, on any one (1) or more occasions prior to the Maturity Date, request an increase the Established Loan Amount; provided, however, that (i) the amount of each such increase shall not be less than Ten Million ($10,000,000.00) Dollars, (ii) the aggregate amount of all such increases shall not cause the Established Loan Amount to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Million ($250,000,000.00) Dollars, and (iii) after any such increase the Established Loan Amount shall not exceed the Total Commitments (as such may be increased after the date hereof) as determined by the Administrative Agent. Such request may be made by the Borrower by written notice to the Administrative Agent, which election shall designate the desired increased Established Loan Amount. The Borrower shall execute, deliver and satisfy, and shall

-2-


 

cause each Loan Party to execute, deliver, and satisfy, any and all documentation and other conditions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent and any Lender increasing its Commitment in order to evidence and effectuate the increase in the Established Loan Amount, including, without limitation, any new or replacement Note as may be required by any Lender increasing its Commitment or any new Lender issuing a new Commitment. Any such increase of the Established Loan Amount shall not be effective until written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders of such increased amount and the confirmation that such amount does not exceed the Total Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall give the existing Lenders written notice of the Borrower’s request to so increase the Established Loan Amount hereunder, and the existing Lenders shall have a right of first refusal with respect to electing to increase their respective Commitments, which right must be exercised by providing the Administrative Agent with written notice of such election within ten (10) Business Days of the notice provided by the Administrative Agent. In the event the existing Lenders shall agree to increase their Commitments by an amount that is in excess of the requested increase, such increased Commitments shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent on a pro rata basis. In connection with any increase in the Established Loan Amount, no Lender shall be required to increase the amount of such Lender’s Commitment.
          2.1.2 Procedures and Limits . Until the Maturity Date, the Lenders shall, subject to the compliance with all of the other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and there then continuing no Default or Event of Default, make disbursements to Borrower of Loan Advances in installments in accordance with the following:
               (i)  Written Requests . Loan Advances shall be made, at Borrower’s written request to Administrative Agent, not more frequently than four (4) times a month, on the basis of written requests, made in accordance with the method and procedures described in Section 2.1.3 below; and Administrative Agent shall act upon such requests within three (3) Business Days following the receipt of a written request from Borrower for a Loan Advance, which action may include, without limitation, funding the requested Loan Advance, or specifying the basis for not funding and, when applicable, requesting additional information and supporting documentation. The date on which any Loan Advance is funded (or Letter of Credit issued) is herein called a “Drawdown Date.”
               (ii)  Requisitions, Certifications . Each request for a Loan Advance shall be in writing and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 , and shall include an updated Availability Certificate in the form of Exhibit B-1 attached hereto. Each such request shall specify (i) the amount of the Loan Advance requested, (ii) the purpose of the Loan Advance requested, (iii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loan plus L/C Exposure, (iv) the then aggregate remaining amount which may be funded under the Note, and (v) calculations evidencing the Borrower’s continued compliance with the Financial Covenants, as satisfied by the Closing Compliance Certificate, or once delivered, the most recent Compliance Certificate delivered by the Borrower, except to the extent the contemplated Loan Advance will result in noncompliance with the Financial Covenants, and (vi) if the purpose of the Loan Advance is to fund project costs with respect to a Borrowing Base Property, such supporting invoices and other documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require evidencing the project costs incurred or to be paid supporting such Loan Advance. Each request for a Loan Advance hereunder shall be for (a) a minimum amount of $500,000.00, and (b) an amount not to exceed

-3-


 

(x) the Maximum Loan Amount less (y) the aggregate of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan plus L/C Exposure.
          2.1.3 Funding Procedures . The following terms and provisions shall apply to any Loan Advance:
               (i) Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.1, to the extent applicable, Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders will either (x) deposit into a Depository Account of the Borrower or (y) disburse to, or for the benefit of, the Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary (as directed by the Borrower) the amount of the Loan Advance requested by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.1. Provided the Administrative Agent has received from the Lenders immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the proposed Drawdown Date (to the extent immediately available funds are received later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time), Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, will make the deposit into the Depository Account on the following Business Day), provided that if Borrower’s request for a Loan Advance so specifies, instead of making such deposit, Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall fund all or a portion of such Loan Advance received by the Administrative Agent from the Lenders directly by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a third party (in accordance with wiring instruction specified in such request), in which event such funds shall be wired by no later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the proposed Drawdown Date.
               (ii) Each request for a Loan Advance hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 hereof, as the case may be, have been satisfied on the date of such request and will be satisfied on the proposed Drawdown Date, unless otherwise disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent prior to or at the time of such request, including the Borrower’s continued compliance with the Financial Covenants, as satisfied by the Closing Compliance Certificate, or once delivered, the most recent Compliance Certificate delivered by the Borrower, except to the extent the contemplated Loan Advance will result in noncompliance with the Financial Covenants. Notwithstanding any such disclosure, the disclosure by Borrower to the Administrative Agent that one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 hereof are not satisfied as of the date of Borrower’s request for a Loan Advance or will not be satisfied as of the proposed Drawdown Date shall entitle Administrative Agent and Lenders to refuse to make the Loan Advance requested by Borrower.
               (iii) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may or shall (at the direction of the Required Lenders), by notice to Borrower, terminate the obligation of the Lenders to fund Loan Advances in respect of the then unfunded portion of the Note, and, upon such notice being given, such obligation of the Lenders to make any further Loan Advances in respect of the then unfunded portion of the Note shall terminate immediately and the Lenders shall be relieved of all further obligations to make any Loan Advances to Borrower.
     2.2 Term of Loan .
          2.2.1 The Loan shall be for a term (the “Initial Term”) commencing on the date hereof and ending on June 13, 2011(the “Initial Maturity Date”) or such earlier date as the Loan

-4-


 

is accelerated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement upon an Event of Default. The Initial Term may be extended for one year (“Extended Term”) until June 13, 2012 (“Extended Maturity Date”) upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2.3 (hereinafter, the Initial Maturity Date and the Extended Maturity Date may be referred to herein sometimes as the “Maturity Date” as may be applicable).
          2.2.2 Termination/Reduction .
               (i) The Borrower shall have the right to terminate the Loan prior to the originally scheduled Maturity Date by providing the Administrative Agent (with the Administrative Agent giving prompt notice thereof to the Lenders) with ten (10) days’ written notice of the Borrower’s intention to terminate the Loan (the date of such termination being the “Borrower Termination Date”). In the event that the Borrower provides such written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) as of the date of the notice, the Lenders shall have no further obligation to make or issue, and the Borrower shall have no further right to receive or request, any Loan Advances or any Letters of Credit hereunder, and (ii) the Borrower shall be obligated on the Borrower Termination Date to pay in full all accrued interest, principal and other charges due with respect to the Loan, including, without limitation, any Breakage Fees due on account of such payment and (y) either (1) provide Administrative Agent with cash collateral equal to the outstanding amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit from a source other than the proceeds of the Loan or (2) return all outstanding Letters of Credit to the Administrative Agent. If such cash collateral is posted, such funds shall be held in an interest bearing account at the Administrative Agent, shall be pledged to secure the Obligations, and shall be refunded on a dollar for dollar basis to the Borrower upon the return to the Administrative Agent, or the expiration, of each Letter of Credit.
               (ii) The Borrower shall have the right to reduce the Established Loan Amount to an amount not less than $100,000,000.00 prior to the originally scheduled Maturity Date by providing the Administrative Agent (with the Administrative Agent giving prompt notice thereof to the Lenders) with ten (10) days’ written notice of the Borrower’s intention to reduce the Established Loan Amount (the date of such reduction being the “Borrower Reduction Date”). In the event that the Borrower provides such written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) as of the date of the notice, the Lenders shall have no further obligation to make or issue, and the Borrower shall have no further right to receive or request, any Loan Advances or any Letters of Credit such that (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan plus (2) the L/C Exposure, would exceed such reduced Established Loan Amount, and (ii) the Borrower shall be obligated on the Borrower Reduction Date to pay in full the excess of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan plus (2) the L/C Exposure (less any portion of the L/C Exposure which is cash collateralized as set forth in section (y) below), over the reduced Established Loan Amount, including, without limitation, any Breakage Fees due on account of such payment due on account of such payment and/or (y) provide Administrative Agent with cash collateral equal to such excess with respect to Letters of Credit from a source other than the proceeds of the Loan. If such cash collateral is posted, such funds shall be held in an interest bearing account at the Administrative Agent, shall be pledged to secure the Obligations, and shall be refunded on a dollar for dollar basis to the Borrower upon the return to the Administrative Agent, or the expiration, of each Letter of Credit. In order to effect such reduced Established Loan Amount, the Administrative Agent shall reduce the Lenders’ Commitments on a pro rata basis.

               (ii)  Notice From Borrower . Borrower shall have given Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders) written notice of Borrower’s request to exercise its extension right at least forty five (45) days, but no more than ninety (90) days, before the Initial Maturity Date.
               (iii)  Covenant Compliance . No breach of any covenants imposed upon Borrower or Guarantor shall exist including, without limitation, the Financial Covenants.

               (v)  Extension Fee . The Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent an extension fee (the “Extension Fee”) for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders of two-tenths of one percent (0.20%) of the outstanding Commitments of the Lenders, such Extension Fee to be payable at least five (5) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date.
               (vi)  Appraisals . If reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have obtained an updated Appraisal on each Borrowing Base Property.
               (vii)  Additional Documents . Borrower and Guarantor shall have executed and delivered to Administrative Agent such agreements and documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably require incident to the extension.
Within thirty (30) days following receipt by Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders of Borrower’s written notice under clause 2.2.3(ii) above requesting the extension accompanied by those of the items described above which are then available, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower in writing if all of the conditions precedent to the extension, other than payment of the Extension Fee, have been satisfied, or if further information, certificates or work are required. If Administrative Agent determines that the conditions to extension have been satisfied, other than payment of the Extension Fee, Administrative Agent shall so notify Borrower and the Lenders and upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Extension Fee not later than five (5) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, so long as no Default exists, the term of the Loan shall be extended until the Extended Maturity Date.
     2.3 Interest Rate and Payment Terms . The Loan shall be payable as to interest and principal in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Note. This Agreement also provides for interest at a Default Rate, Late Charges and prepayment rights and fees.

Any and all interest rate selection and conversion provisions in this Agreement are to be administered by the

-6-


 

Administrative Agent and to be allocated on a pro rata basis to the portion of the balance due under the Note held by each Lender based upon such Lender’s Commitment Percentage.
          2.3.1 Borrower’s Options . Principal amounts outstanding under the Loan shall bear interest at the following rates, at Borrower’s selection, subject to the conditions and limitations provided for in this Agreement: (i) Variable Rate or (ii) Effective LIBO Rate.
          2.3.2 Selection To Be Made . Borrower shall select, and thereafter may change the selection of, the applicable interest rate, from the alternatives otherwise provided for in this Agreement, by giving Administrative Agent a Notice of Rate Selection (in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3.3, below): (i) three (3) Business Days prior to each Loan Advance, (ii) two (2) Business Days prior to the end of each Interest Period applicable to an Effective LIBO Rate Advance which shall be continued as an Effective LIBO Rate Advance, or (iii) two (2) Business Days prior to any Business Day on which Borrower desires to convert an outstanding Variable Rate Advance to an Effective LIBO Rate Advance.
          2.3.3 Notice . A “Notice of Rate Selection” shall be a written notice, given by cable, tested telex, telecopier, or by telephone if immediately confirmed by such a written notice, from an Authorized Representative of Borrower which: (i) is received by Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time): (a) if an Effective LIBO Rate is selected, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the Interest Period to which such selection is to apply, (b) if a Variable Rate is selected, on the first day of the Interest Period to which such selection is to apply; and (ii) as to each selected interest rate option, sets forth the aggregate principal amount(s) to which such interest rate option(s) shall apply and the Interest Period(s) applicable to each Effective LIBO Rate Advance.
          2.3.4 If No Notice . If Borrower fails to select an interest rate option in accordance with the foregoing prior to a Loan Advance, or at least two (2) Business Days prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period of an outstanding Effective LIBO Rate Advance, or if an Effective LIBO Rate Advance is not available, any new Loan Advance made shall be deemed to be a Variable Rate Advance, and on the last day of the applicable Interest Period all outstanding principal amounts of the applicable Effective LIBO Rate Advance shall be deemed converted to a Variable Rate Advance.
          2.3.5 Telephonic Notice . Without any way limiting Borrower’s obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by Administrative Agent in good faith to be from Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each case Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic Notice of Rate Selection in the absence of manifest error.
          2.3.6 Limits On Options . Each Effective LIBO Rate Advance shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00. At no time shall there be outstanding a total of more than five (5) Effective LIBO Rate Advances combined at any time.
          2.3.7 Payment and Calculation of Interest . All interest shall be: (a) payable in arrears commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the Funding Date and on

-7-


 

the same day of each month thereafter until the principal together with all interest and other charges payable with respect to the Loan shall be fully paid; and (b) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Each change in the Prime Rate shall simultaneously change the Variable Rate payable under this Agreement. Interest at the Effective LIBO Rate shall be computed from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to, but excluding, the last day thereof.
          2.3.8 Mandatory Principal Payments .
               (i) If, on any day, the aggregate of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, plus (b) the L/C Exposure, exceeds the Maximum Loan Amount, then the Borrower shall make a principal payment to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in the amount of such excess, including, without limitation, any payment required to comply with the terms of Section 3.4, below, in immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days of demand from the Administrative Agent; provided, however, if during such ten (10) Business Day period the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent satisfactory Funding Evidence, such ten (10) Business Day period shall be extended for such additional time as is determined by the Administrative Agent to be required for Borrower, acting in due diligence, to obtain such funds, not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days.
               (ii) In connection with the release of the Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on any Borrowing Base Property in accordance with Section 3.3, the Borrower shall prepay the Loan in an amount equal to the Release Price, if any, of the said Borrowing Base Property simultaneously with, or prior to, the release of the said Lien (any payment due under subsections (i) or (ii), a “Mandatory Principal Payment”).
               (iii) The entire principal balance of the Loan shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
          2.3.9 Prepayment . The Loan or any portion thereof may be prepaid in full or in part at any time upon two (2) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent without premium or penalty with respect to Variable Rate Advances and, with respect to Effective LIBO Rate Advances subject to the Breakage Fee. Any Mandatory Principal Prepayment and any other partial prepayment of principal shall first be applied to the principal due in the reverse order of maturity, and no such partial prepayment shall relieve Borrower of the obligation to pay each installment of principal when due. Any amounts prepaid may be reborrowed subject to the terms hereof.
          2.3.10 Maturity . At Maturity all accrued interest, principal and other charges due with respect to the Loan shall be due and payable in full and the principal balance and such other charges, but not unpaid interest, shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, continue to bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate until so paid.

Administrative Agent, or (b) by wire transfer to Administrative Agent or (c) to such other bank or address as the holder of the Loan may designate in a written notice to Borrower. Payments shall be credited on the Business Day on which immediately available funds are received prior to 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time); payments received after 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) shall be credited to the Loan on the next Business Day. Payments which are by check, which Administrative Agent may at its option accept or reject, or which are not in the form of immediately available funds shall not be credited to the Loan until such funds become immediately available to Administrative Agent, and, with respect to payments by check, such credit shall be provisional until the item is finally paid by the payor bank.
          2.3.12 Billings . Administrative Agent may submit monthly billings reflecting payments due; however , any changes in the interest rate which occur between the date of billing and the due date may be reflected in the billing for a subsequent month. Neither the failure of Administrative Agent to submit a billing nor any error in any such billing shall excuse Borrower from the obligation to make full payment of all Borrower’s payment obligations when due.
          2.3.13 Default Rate . Administrative Agent shall have the option of imposing, and shall impose upon the direction of the Required Lenders, and Borrower shall pay upon billing therefor, an interest rate which is four percent (4.0%) per annum above the Effective LIBO Rate or Variable Rate then in effect with respect to Loan Advances (as the case may be) (“Default Rate”): (a) following any Event of Default, unless and until the Event of Default is waived by Required Lenders; and (b) after Maturity. Borrower’s right to select pricing options shall cease upon the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until the Event of Default is waived by Administrative Agent.
          2.3.14 Late Charges . Borrower shall pay a late charge (herein, the “ Late Charge ”) equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of any interest or scheduled payment of principal (other than the final principal payment due upon the Maturity Date), which is not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof. Late charges are: (a) payable in addition to, and not in limitation of, the Default Rate, (b) intended to compensate Administrative Agent and the Lenders for administrative and processing costs incident to late payments, (c) are not interest, and (d) shall not be subject to refund or rebate or credited against any other amount due.
          2.3.15 Breakage Fees . Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, immediately upon request and notwithstanding contrary provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents, such amounts as shall, in the conclusive judgment of Administrative Agent (in the absence of manifest error), compensate Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the loss, cost or expense which it may reasonably incur as a result of (i) any payment or prepayment, under any circumstances whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, of all or any portion of an Effective LIBO Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period of an Effective LIBO Rate Advance, (ii) the conversion, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any Effective LIBO Rate Advance to a Variable Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) the failure of all or a portion of a Loan which was to have borne interest at the Effective LIBO Rate pursuant to the request of Borrower to be made under the Loan Agreement (except as a result of any act or omission of Lender), or (iv) the failure of Borrower to borrow in accordance with any request submitted by it for an Effective LIBO Rate Advance. Such amounts payable by

Borrower shall be equal to any administrative costs actually incurred plus any amounts required to compensate for any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by Administrative Agent or any Lender to fund or maintain an Effective LIBO Rate Advance (herein, collectively, the “ Breakage Fee ”). A certificate from a Lender provided to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent setting forth the calculation and amount of its Breakage Fee shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
     2.4 Loan Fees; Administrative Agent’s Fees.
          2.4.1 Loan Fees . Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent for its own account the various fees in accordance with the fee letter between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent dated as of the date hereof.
          2.4.2 Line Fee . Borrower agrees to pay an unused line fee (the “Line Fee”) to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders. The amount of the Line Fee on any given day shall equal the Line Percentage multiplied by the amount on such day by which the Total Commitments exceed the sum of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, and (b) the L/C Exposure. The Line Fee shall be payable to the Administrative Agent quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof, with a final payment on the Maturity Date and the first and last payments to be prorated based upon the partial calendar quarters to which they apply.
     2.5 Acceleration . The Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, accelerate the Loan, upon the occurrence an Event of Default which remains continuing. Upon such an acceleration, all principal, accrued interest, Breakage Fee, any other fees, and costs and expenses shall be due and payable together with interest on such principal at the Default Rate from the date of the Event of Default until paid.
     2.6 Additional Provisions Related to Interest Rate Selection.
          2.6.1 Increased Costs . If, due to any one or more of: (i) the introduction of any applicable law or regulation or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements already referred to in the definition of Effective LIBO Rate) in the interpretation or application by any authority charged with the interpretation or application thereof of any law or regulation; or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any governmental central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) (an event described in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) an “Increased Cost Event”), there shall be an increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Effective LIBO Rate Advances, including without limitation changes which affect or would affect the amount of capital or reserves required or expected to be maintained by any such Lender, with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, or any corporation controlling any Lender, on account thereof, then Borrower from time to time shall, within twenty (20) days after written demand by Administrative Agent, pay to such Lender the incremental increase in Lender’s cost due to the Increased Cost Event. A certificate as to the amount of the increased cost and the reason therefor submitted to Borrower by the Administrative Agent on behalf of an affected Lender, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

-10-


 

          2.6.2 Illegality . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty, statute, regulation or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or government authority shall assert by directive, guideline or otherwise, that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain Effective LIBO Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Effective LIBO Rate Advances, and such Lender, without cost or expense, cannot hold or administer its Commitment from an office where maintaining and funding Effective LIBO Rate Advances can be accomplished, then, on written notice thereof and demand by Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to Borrower, (a) the obligation of Administrative Agent to make Effective LIBO Rate Advances and to convert or continue any Loan as Effective LIBO Rate Advances shall terminate and (b) at the end of the applicable Interest Period (or on such earlier date as may be necessary to comply with such change), Borrower shall convert all principal outstanding under this Agreement into Variable Rate Advances.
          2.6.3 Additional LIBO Rate Conditions . The selection by Borrower of an Effective LIBO Rate and the maintenance of the Effective LIBO Rate Advance at such rate shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:
               A.  Availability . If, before or after Borrower has selected to take or maintain an Effective LIBO Rate Advance, but before the Interest Period with respect thereto commences, the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that:
          (a) Dollar deposits in the amount and for the maturity requested are not available to lenders in the London interbank market at the rate specified in the definition of LIBO Rate set forth above, or
          (b) reasonable means do not exist for Administrative Agent to determine the Effective LIBO Rate for the amounts and maturity requested,
then the principal which would have been an Effective LIBO Rate Advance shall be a Variable Rate Advance.
               B.  Payments Net of Taxes . All payments and prepayments of principal and interest under this Agreement shall be made net of any taxes (excluding Excluded Taxes) and costs (which are compensated under Section 2.6.1 above) resulting from having principal outstanding at or computed with reference to an Effective LIBO Rate. Without limiting the generality of the preceding obligation, illustrations of such taxes and costs as to which payments are to be made net of are taxes, or the withholding of amounts for taxes, of any nature whatsoever including income, excise, interest equalization taxes (other than United States or state income taxes) as well as all levies, imposts, duties or fees whether now in existence or as the result of a change in or promulgation of any treaty, statute, regulation, or interpretation thereof or any directive guideline or otherwise by a central bank or fiscal authority (whether or not having the force of law) or a change in the basis of, or the time of payment of, such taxes and other amounts resulting therefrom. Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States (a “Foreign Lender”) shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the Internal Revenue

-11-


 

Service of the United States certifying as to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to complete exemption from United States withholding tax under an applicable statute or tax treaty with respect to payments to be made to such Foreign Lender hereunder (“Certificates of Exemption”). Each Foreign Lender shall provide such Certificates of Exemption on or before the Closing Date, and shall provide Certificates of Exemption on or before the first business day of each taxable year of such Foreign Lender thereafter. Each Foreign Lender that becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 13.3 after the Closing Date shall provide Certificates of Exemption on or before the date such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender and on or before the first business day of each taxable year of such Foreign Lender thereafter. If a Foreign Lender does not provide a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower and the Administrative Agent within the time periods set forth in the preceding sentence, Borrower shall withhold taxes from payments to such Foreign Lender at the applicable statutory rates and Borrower shall be permitted to deduct the amount withheld from the amount it otherwise would have been required to pay, provided that all such withholding shall cease upon delivery by such Foreign Lender of a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower and Administrative Agent. Each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender and is not exempt from backup withholding under the Code with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall provide a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 to the Borrower promptly after becoming a Lender under this Agreement. If a Lender fails to comply with its obligations under the preceding sentence and Borrower pays backup withholding as a result of such failure, Borrower shall be permitted to deduct the amount withheld from the amount it otherwise would have been required to pay to the Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law.
          2.6.4 Variable Rate Advances . Each Variable Rate Advance shall continue as a Variable Rate Advance until Maturity of the Loan, unless sooner converted, in whole or in part, to an Effective LIBO Rate Advance, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
     2.7 Letters of Credit .

-12-


 

Obligations, shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.
               (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:
          (A) subject to Section 2.7.2(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Administrative Agent has approved such expiry date; or
          (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless (x) the Administrative Agent shall have approved such expiry date, subject to Section 2.7.7, or (y) the subject Borrowing Base Property to which the Letter of Credit relates is scheduled to be completed at least ninety (90) days prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date.
               (iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
          (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Legal Requirement applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;
          (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer;
          (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $25,000.00, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit;

-13-


 

          (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;
          (E) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or
          (F) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.7.3 exists or any Lender is at such time a Delinquent Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender, subject to the provisions of Section 13.2.8.
               (iv) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
               (v) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article 13 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article 13 included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
          2.7.2 Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit .
               (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Representative of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment;

-14-


 

and (4) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
               (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Sections 2.1.3(ii) or 2.1.3(iii) shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or the applicable Borrower Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
               (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (unless clause (x) or (y) of Section 2.7.1(ii)(B) shall apply); provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.7.1 or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent has not approved or the Borrower has not qualified for such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Sections 2.1.3(ii) or 2.1.3(iii) are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
               (iv) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless

-15-


 

otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent has not approved or the Borrower has not qualified for such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Sections 2.1.3(ii) or 2.1.3(iii) are not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.
               (v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
          2.7.3 Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations .
               (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Variable Rate Advance under the Note to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.1 for the principal amount of the Loan, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Total Commitment and the conditions set forth in Sections 2.1.3(ii) and 2.1.3(iii). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.7.3(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
               (ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.7.3(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.7.3(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Variable

-16-


 

Rate Advance to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.
               (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Loan Advance because the conditions set forth in Section 2.1.3(ii) or 2.1.3(iii) cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.7.3(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.7.
               (iv) Until each Lender funds its Commitment Percentage of any Loan Advance or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.7.3 to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.
               (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loan Advances or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.7.3, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.7.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in Sections 2.1.3(ii) or 2.1.3(iii). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
               (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7.3 by the time specified in Section 2.7.3(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
          2.7.4 Repayment of Participations .
               (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.7.3, if the Administrative Agent receives for the account

-17-


 

of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
               (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.7.3(i) is required to be returned under any of the provisions of this Agreement (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
          2.7.5 Obligations Absolute . The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
               (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
               (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C 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 L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C 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 or Issuer Document.

None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.7.5 provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C 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 L/C 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.
          2.7.7 Cash Collateral . Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.

Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all such Cash Collateral and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at KeyBank, National Association.

          2.7.9 Letter of Credit Fees . The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Commitment Percentage an annual Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin for Effective LIBO Rate Advances times the maximum stated amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.7.13. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. The first and last payments of such Letter of Credit Fee are to be prorated based upon the partial calendar quarters to which they apply. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin for Effective LIBO Rate Advances during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each standby Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin for Effective LIBO Rate Advances separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
          2.7.10 Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer . The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, of one eighth of one percent (.125%) per annum, computed on the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the maximum stated amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.7.13. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

     11.3 Power of Attorney . For the purpose of exercising the rights granted by this Article 11, as well as any and all other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent (or any agent designated by Administrative Agent) its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, upon and following any Event of Default which is continuing, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to do and perform any acts in the name and on behalf of Borrower. In connection with the foregoing power of attorney, the Borrower hereby grants unto the Administrative Agent (acting through any of its officers) full power to do any and all things necessary or appropriate in connection with the exercise of such powers as fully and effectually as the Borrower might or could do, hereby ratifying all that said attorney shall do or cause to be done by virtue of this Agreement.

-58-


 

Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders or any entity under common control with the Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns, or in transit to any of them.
     12.2 Set-Off .

Within five (5) Business Days of making any such set off, appropriation or application, Administrative Agent agrees to notify Borrower thereof, provided the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off or appropriation or application.

Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that (a) if an amount to be set off is to be applied to indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender, other than the Obligations evidenced by the Note due to such Lender, such amount shall be applied ratably to such other indebtedness and to the Obligations evidenced by the Note due to such Lender, and (b) if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim evidenced by the Note due to such Lender by proceedings against the Borrower at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note due to such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to Obligations under the Note due to all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Note its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
     12.3 Right to Freeze .

     12.4 Additional Rights . The rights of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each affiliate of Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders under this Article 12 are in addition to,

-59-

          13.1.5 Reliance by Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, or other document or writing believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons, and upon the advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without, limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with any written request of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, if required

-61-


 

hereunder, and each such request of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, if required hereunder, and any action taken or failure to act by the Administrative Agent pursuant thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders; provided , however , that the Administrative Agent shall not be required in any event to act, or to refrain from acting, in any manner which is contrary to the Loan Documents or to applicable law.
          13.1.6 Notice of Default . The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of the same or has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Loan Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a notice of default (a “Notice of Default”). In the event that the Administrative Agent obtains such actual knowledge or receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, if required hereunder. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders.
          13.1.7 Lenders’ Credit Decisions . Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, and financial and other condition of the Borrower and has made its own decision to enter into this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in determining whether or not conditions precedent to Closing any Loan hereunder have been satisfied and in taking or not taking any action under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
          13.1.8 Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification . The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments, for (i) any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, amendment, waiver and/or enforcement of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iii) any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or any transaction contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent that they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the

-62-


 

Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the action indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.
          13.1.9 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity . With respect to its Commitment as a Lender, and the Loans made by it and the Note issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its subsidiaries and affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of commercial or investment banking, trust, advisory or other business with the Borrower or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
          13.1.10 Successor Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and Borrower. The Required Lenders, for good cause, may remove Administrative Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the other Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall, if such appointment is prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, be subject to the approval of the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ giving notice of removal, as the case may be, then the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If in such instance the retiring Administrative Agent appoints as the successor Administrative Agent a Lender, such Lender shall accept such appointment. Each such successor Administrative Agent shall be a Lender or a financial institution which meets the requirements of an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article 13 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder.
          13.1.11 Duties in the Case of Enforcement . In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent may, and shall at the direction of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, if required hereunder, and provided that the Lenders have given to the Administrative Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents respecting the foreclosure, the sale, or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral and the exercise of any other legal or equitable rights or remedies as it may have hereunder or under any other Loan Document or

-63-


 

otherwise by virtue of applicable law, or to refrain from so acting if similarly requested by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, if required hereunder, and such instruction shall be binding upon all the Lenders. The Required Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such foreclosure, sale or other disposition or the exercise of any other right or remedy, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless from all costs and liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such direction, provided that the Administrative Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes the Administrative Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion but without obligation, in the absence of direction from the Required Lenders, take such interim actions as it believes necessary to preserve the rights of the Lenders hereunder and in and to any Collateral securing the Obligations, including but not limited to petitioning a court for injunctive relief, appointment of a receiver or preservation of the proceeds of any Collateral. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation the Note, other than through the Administrative Agent.
     13.2 Respecting Loans and Payments .
          13.2.1 Procedures for Loans . Administrative Agent shall give written notice to each Lender of each request for a Loan Advance, or conversion of an existing Loan Advance from a Variable Rate Advance to an Effective LIBO Rate Advance, by facsimile transmission, hand delivery or overnight courier, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the making of any Loan Advance, (ii) two (2) Business Days prior to any conversion of an existing Loan Advance to an Effective LIBO Rate Advance, or (iii) on the first day of any conversion to a Variable Rate Advance. Each such notice shall be accompanied by a written summary of the request for a Loan Advance and shall specify (a) the date of the requested Loan Advance, (b) the aggregate amount of the requested Loan Advance, (c) each Lender’s pro rata share of the requested Loan Advance, and (d) the applicable interest rate selected by Borrower with respect to such Loan Advance, or any portion thereof, together with the applicable Interest Period, if any, selected, or deemed selected, by Borrower. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date set forth in any such request for a Loan Advance, make available to Administrative Agent, at an account to be designated by Administrative Agent at KeyBank, National Association, Boston, Massachusetts, in same day funds, each Lender’s ratable portion of the requested Loan Advance provided that no Lender shall be required to fund any Loan Advance to the extent that such Lender’s aggregate outstanding Loan Advances would exceed its Commitment. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon Administrative Agent’s determination that the applicable conditions to making the requested Loan Advance have been fulfilled, Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to Borrower as provided for in this Loan Agreement. Within a reasonable period of time following the making of each Loan Advance, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following such Loan Advance, Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender a copy of Borrower’s request for Loan Advance. Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of written request from any Lender, Administrative Agent shall deliver to

-64-


 

the requesting Lender the accompanying certifications and such other instruments, documents, certifications and approvals delivered by or on behalf of Borrower to Administrative Agent in support of the requested Loan Advance.
          13.2.2 Nature of Obligations of Lenders . The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. Failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not result in any other Lender becoming obligated to advance more than its Commitment Percentage of the Loan, nor shall such failure release or diminish the obligations of any other Lender to fund its Commitment Percentage provided herein.
          13.2.3 Payments to Administrative Agent . All payments of principal of and interest on the Loan or the Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any other obligor or guarantor for the account of the Lenders in immediately available funds as provided in the Note and this Loan Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to distribute to each Lender, on the same Business Day upon which each such payment is made, such Lender’s proportionate share of each such payment in immediately available funds excluding Liquidation Proceeds which shall be distributed in accordance with Section 13.2.4 below. The Administrative Agent will disburse such payments to the Lenders on the date of receipt thereof if received prior to 1:00 p.m. on such date and, if not, on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall upon each distribution promptly notify Borrower of such distribution and each Lender of the amounts distributed to it applicable to principal of, and interest on, the proportionate share held by the applicable Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent under the first sentence of this Section shall constitute a payment by the Borrower to each Lender in the amount of such Lender’s proportionate share of such payment, and any such payment to the Administrative Agent shall not be considered outstanding for any purpose after the date of such payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent without regard to whether or when the Administrative Agent makes distribution thereof as provided above. If any payment received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower is insufficient to pay both all accrued interest and all principal then due and owing, the Administrative Agent shall first apply such payment to all outstanding interest until paid in full and shall then apply the remainder of such payment to all principal then due and owing, and shall distribute the payment to each Lender accordingly.
          13.2.4 Distribution of Liquidation Proceeds . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Administrative Agent shall distribute all Liquidation Proceeds in the order and manner set forth below:
         
 
  First:   To the Administrative Agent, towards any fees and any expenses for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents not theretofore paid to the Administrative Agent.
 
 
  Second:   To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages (or pro rata if the Lenders have not ratably funded such amounts) until all Lenders have been reimbursed for all fees and expenses which such Lenders have previously paid to the Administrative Agent and not theretofore paid to such Lenders.

-65-


 

         
 
  Third:   To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been paid in full all principal and interest due to such Lenders under the Loan, with each Lender applying such proceeds for purposes of this Agreement first against the outstanding principal balance due to such Lender under the Loan and then to accrued and unpaid interest due under the Loan.
 
 
  Fourth:   To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages (or pro rata if the Lenders have not ratably funded such amounts) until all Lenders have been paid in full all other amounts due to such Lenders under the Loan including, without limitation, any costs and expenses incurred directly by such Lenders to the extent such costs and expenses are reimbursable to such Lenders by the Borrower under the Loan Documents.
 
 
  Fifth:   To the Borrower or such third parties as may be entitled to claim Liquidation Proceeds.
          13.2.5 Adjustments . If, after Administrative Agent has paid each Lender’s proportionate share of any payment received or applied by Administrative Agent in respect of the Loan and other Obligations, that payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by Administrative Agent, whether pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law, sharing of payments clause of any loan agreement or otherwise, such Lender shall, at Administrative Agent’s request, promptly return its proportionate share of such payment or application to Administrative Agent, together with such Lender’s proportionate share of any interest or other amount required to be paid by Administrative Agent with respect to such payment or application.
          13.2.6 Setoff . If any Lender (including the Administrative Agent), acting in its individual capacity, shall exercise any right of setoff against a deposit balance or other account of the Borrower held by such Lender on account of the obligations of the Borrower under this Loan Agreement, such Lender shall remit to the Administrative Agent all such sums received pursuant to the exercise of such right of setoff, and the Administrative Agent shall apply all such sums for the benefit of all of the Lenders hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement.
          13.2.7 Distribution by Administrative Agent . If in the opinion of the Administrative Agent distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder or under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve any liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or has been resolved by the mutual consent of all Lenders. In addition, the Administrative Agent may request full and complete indemnity from the Lenders, in form and substance satisfactory to it, prior to making any such distribution. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over to the same in such manner and to such persons as shall be determined by such court.

-66-


 

          13.2.8 Delinquent Lender . If for any reason any Lender shall fail or refuse to abide by its obligations under this Loan Agreement, including without limitation its obligation to make available to Administrative Agent its pro rata share of any Loans, expenses or setoff (a “Delinquent Lender”) and such failure is not cured within five (5) days of receipt from the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Administrative Agent, other Lenders, the Borrower or any other party at law or in equity, and not at limitation thereof, (i) such Delinquent Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Loans, this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal, with such Delinquent Lender’s Commitment not being included when calculating any Required Lender or Unanimous Lender decision hereunder, and (ii) a Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-delinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of all outstanding Loans until, as a result of application of such assigned payments the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. The Delinquent Lender’s decision-making and participation rights and rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Delinquent Lender of its pro rata share of any Loans or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid.
     The non-delinquent Lenders shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to acquire for no cash consideration, ( pro   rata , based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right) the Delinquent Lender’s Commitment to fund future Loans (the “Future Commitment”). Upon any such purchase of the pro rata share of any Delinquent Lender’s Future Commitment, the Delinquent Lender’s share in future Loans and its rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Delinquent Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance. Each Delinquent Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each non-delinquent Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and funds advanced by Administrative Agent or by any non-delinquent Lender, on account of a Delinquent Lender’s failure to timely fund its pro rata share of a Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
          13.2.9 Holders . The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender designated in the Register as the proportionate owner of such interest in the Note for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any designated interest in the Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such interest in the Note or of any Note or Note issued in exchange therefor.

-67-


 

     13.3 Assignment by Lenders .
          13.3.1 Assignment . Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 13.3.1, participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
                   (i)  Minimum Amounts .
     (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, no minimum amount needs to be assigned; and
     (B) in any case not described in Section 13.3.1(i)(A) above, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;
                    (ii)  Proportionate Amounts . Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;
                    (iii)  Required Consents . No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 13.3.1(i)(B) and, in addition:
     (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
     (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such

-68-


 

     assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
     (C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).
                    (iv)  Assignment and Acceptance . The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for recording in the Register an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (the “Assignment and Acceptance”), together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,000.00; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
                    (v)  No Assignment to Borrower . No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.
                    (vi)  No Assignment to Natural Person . No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Promptly following delivery of notice of such assignment and written request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall, in exchange for each surrendered Note, execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be substantially in the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be cancelled and returned to the Borrower. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 Section 13.3.3.
          13.3.2 Register . The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C

-69-


 

Obligations, owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
          13.3.3 Participations . Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s 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 (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
     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, waiver or other modification described in Section 13.4.1(i) through (viii) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 13.3.4 below, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.3.11 and 2.6 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.3.1 above. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender.
          13.3.4 Limitations upon Participant Rights . A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.3.11 or 2.6 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent, provided in no instance shall the Borrower’s Obligations be increased as a result thereof. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.3.11 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.3.11 as though it were a Lender.
          13.3.5 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 (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment or foreclosure with respect

-70-


 

to any 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.
          13.3.6 Electronic Execution of Assignments . The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
     13.4 Administrative Matters .
          13.4.1 Amendment, Waiver, Consent, Etc.

          13.4.2 Deemed Consent or Approval . With respect to any requested amendment, waiver, consent or other action which requires the approval of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement, or if the Administrative Agent is required hereunder to seek, or desires to seek, the approval of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, prior to undertaking a particular action or course of conduct, the Administrative Agent in each such case shall provide each Lender with written notice of any such request for amendment, waiver or consent or any other requested or proposed action or course of conduct, accompanied by such detailed background information and explanations as may be reasonably necessary to determine whether to approve or disapprove such amendment, waiver, consent or other action or course of conduct.

and if (and only if) the foregoing legend is included by the Administrative Agent in its communication, a Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to such action or course of conduct for all purposes hereunder if such Lender fails to object to such action or course of conduct by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) calendar days of such Lender’s receipt of such notice.
     13.5 Arranger . Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, the Arranger, in its capacity as such, shall have no powers, rights, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     14.  CASUALTY AND TAKING .
     14.1 Casualty or Taking; Obligation To Repair . In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Loss as to any Collateral Property, Borrower shall give immediate written notice thereof to Administrative Agent and proceed with reasonable diligence, in full compliance with all Legal Requirements and the other requirements of the Loan Documents, to repair, restore,

-72-


 

rebuild or replace the affected Collateral Property to the condition immediately prior to such Event of Loss (each, the “Repair Work”).
     14.2 Adjustment of Claims . All insurance claims or condemnation or similar awards shall be adjusted or settled by Borrower, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, but subject to Administrative Agent’s prior written approval for any Borrowing Base Property, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to participate in any adjustment or settlement for any Borrowing Base Property with respect to which the Net Proceeds in the aggregate are equal to or greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and (ii) if any Event of Default exists under any of the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall have the right to adjust, settle, and compromise such claims without the approval of Borrower.
     14.3 Payment and Application of Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Awards .
          14.3.1 Except as otherwise provided for herein, all Net Proceeds shall be paid to Administrative Agent and, at Administrative Agent’s option, be applied to Borrower’s Obligations or released, in whole or in part, to pay for the actual cost of repair, restoration, rebuilding or replacement to the condition immediately prior to such Event of Loss (collectively, “Cost To Repair”). If any Net Proceeds are received directly by any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall hold such Net Proceeds in trust for the Administrative Agent and shall promptly deliver such Net Proceeds in kind to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, provided no Default or Event of Default is then in existence, all Net Proceeds related to any Collateral Property which is not a Borrowing Base Property shall be released to the Borrower to such repair and reconstruction, without the Borrower having to satisfy the conditions of section 14.3 and 14.4 hereof.
          14.3.2 Notwithstanding the terms and provisions hereof, with respect to any Borrowing Base Property, if the Net Proceeds do not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and the Insurance/Taking Release Conditions have been satisfied in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall release the Net Proceeds to pay for the actual Cost to Repair and the applicable Loan Party shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion, the Repair Work relative to the subject Collateral Property, with any excess being retained by the applicable Loan Party.
          14.3.3 Notwithstanding the terms and provisions hereof, with respect to any Borrowing Base Property, if either (i) the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) or (ii) the Net Proceeds do not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), but the Insurance/Taking Release Conditions have not been satisfied with respect to such Event of Loss, the Administrative Agent shall release so much of the Net Proceeds as may be required to pay for the actual Cost To Repair in accordance the limitations and procedures set forth in Section 14.4, if the following conditions are satisfied in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent:
               (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents;

-73-


 

               (ii) in Administrative Agent’s good faith judgment such Net Proceeds together with any additional funds as may be deposited with and pledged to Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, are sufficient to pay for the Cost To Repair. In order to make this determination, Administrative Agent shall be furnished by the Borrower with an estimate of the Cost to Repair accompanied by an independent architect’s or engineer’s certification as to such Cost to Repair and appropriate plans and specifications for the Repair Work;
               (iii) the subject Event of Loss was not a Major Event of Loss;
               (iv) Administrative Agent in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, shall have determined that all rent payments from Leases of the subject Collateral Property which have commenced at the time of the casualty which are to abate pursuant to their terms are to be payable to the Borrowing Base Property Owner, subject to deductibles, if any, permitted pursuant to the insurance policies to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement, from Rent Loss Proceeds;
               (v) in Administrative Agent’s good faith judgment, the Repair Work can reasonably be completed on or before the time required under applicable Legal Requirements; and
               (vi) the Borrowing Base Property continues to satisfy the Borrowing Base Property Requirements.
     14.4 Conditions To Release of Insurance Proceeds . If Administrative Agent elects or is required to release insurance proceeds, Administrative Agent may impose reasonable conditions on such release which shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
          14.4.1 Prior written approval by Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed of plans, specifications, cost estimates, contracts and bonds for the Repair Work to the extent such materials were not previously approved by the Administrative Agent in connection with the admission of the Borrowing Base Property;
          14.4.2 Such evidence of costs, payments and completion as Administrative Agent may reasonably require;
          14.4.3 For Repair Work related to the completed and operating component of an OD Property, the funds shall be released upon final completion of the Repair Work, unless Borrower requests earlier funding, in which event partial monthly disbursements equal to 90% of the costs of the work completed prior to the certification by the applicable Lender’s Consultant and if there is no Lender’s Consultant, an independent architect or engineer retained by the Borrower, that the Repair Work is completed, and then upon final completion of the Repair Work as certified by such Lender’s Consultant or independent architect or engineer, and the receipt by Administrative Agent of satisfactory evidence of payment and release of all liens, the balance of the funds shall be released;
          14.4.4 Determination by Administrative Agent that the undisbursed balance of such Net Proceeds on deposit with Administrative Agent, together with additional funds

-74-


 

deposited for the purpose, shall be at least sufficient to pay for the remaining Cost To Repair, free and clear of all liens and claims for lien;
          14.4.5 All work to comply with the Legal Requirements applicable to the construction of the Improvements; and
          14.4.6 The absence of any Default under any Loan Documents.
     14.5 The Administrative Agent shall have the right to hire, at the cost and expense of the Borrower, a Lender’s Consultant to assist the Administrative Agent in the determination of the satisfaction of the conditions provided for herein for the release of the Net Proceeds, to pay the Costs to Repair and to periodically inspect the status of the construction of any Repair Work.
     14.6 In the event that the Administrative Agent makes any Net Proceeds available to any Loan Party for the payment of Costs to Repair as provided for herein, upon the completion of the Repair Work as certified by the applicable Lender’s Consultant and if there is no Lender’s Consultant, an independent architect or engineer retained by the Borrower, and receipt by Administrative Agent of satisfactory evidence of payment and release of all liens, any excess Net Proceeds still held by the Administrative Agent shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
     14.7 The terms and provisions of this Article 14 shall be subject to the terms and provisions of any Lease as to which the Administrative Agent has agreed otherwise with respect to the use and disbursement of Net Proceeds in any subordination and non-disturbance agreement entered into between the tenant under such Lease and the Administrative Agent and shall also be subject to the terms and provisions of any condominium documents as to which a Collateral Property is subject.
     14.8 The Administrative Agent acknowledges that provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Rent Loss Proceeds shall be payable to the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party.

               (i) All payments shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due to the Administrative Agent (excluding principal and interest), then to all expenses, costs, indemnity claims due to the Lenders (excluding principal and interest), then to accrued interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal; provided, however, that after an Event of Default, payments will be applied to the obligations of Borrower to Administrative Agent and the Lenders as set forth herein.

          15.6.4 Exceptions . Notwithstanding the foregoing choice of law:
               (i) The procedures governing the enforcement by Administrative Agent of its foreclosure and other remedies under the Security Documents and under the other Loan Documents with respect to each Collateral Property shall be governed by the laws of the State in which such Collateral Property is located;
               (ii) Administrative Agent shall comply with applicable law of such State to the extent required by the law of such jurisdiction in connection with the foreclosure of the security interests and liens created under the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents with respect to each Collateral Property or other assets situated in such State; and

In addition, the fact that portions of the Loan Documents may include provisions drafted to conform to the law of any other State is not intended, nor shall it be deemed, in any way, to derogate the parties’ choice of law as set forth or referred to in this Loan Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. The parties further agree that the Administrative Agent may enforce its rights under the Loan Documents including, but not limited to, its rights to sue the Borrower or to collect any outstanding indebtedness in accordance with applicable law.

OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOAN OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREE THAT NEITHER PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.

     15.7 Survival . All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Borrower, or a Loan Party, herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any notice, certificate, or other paper delivered by or on behalf of Borrower or a Loan Party pursuant hereto are significant and shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders notwithstanding any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders or on its behalf and shall survive the delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the Loan pursuant thereto. No review or approval by Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of their representatives, of any opinion letters, certificates by professionals or other item of any nature shall relieve Borrower or anyone else of any of the obligations, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of Borrower or a Loan Party, or any one or more of them, under any one or more of the Loan Documents.
     15.8 Cumulative Rights . All of the rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents and any other agreement now or hereafter executed in connection herewith or therewith, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly, together, or in such combination as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole good faith judgment.
     15.9 Claims Against Administrative Agent or Lenders .

-80-

          15.9.2 Remedies . If it is determined by the final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, which is not subject to further appeal, that Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders has breached any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and has not remedied or cured the same with reasonable promptness following notice thereof, Administrative Agent’s and each of the Lenders’ responsibilities shall be limited to: (i) where the breach consists of the failure to grant consent or give approval in violation of the terms and requirements of a Loan Document, the obligation to grant such consent or give such approval and to pay Borrower’s reasonable costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements in connection with such court proceedings; and (ii) in the case of any such failure to grant such consent or give such approval, or in the case of any other such default by Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, where it is also so determined that Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders acted in gross negligence or bad faith, the payment of any actual, direct, compensatory damages sustained by Borrower as a result thereof plus Borrower’s reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements in connection with such court proceedings.

          15.9.3 Limitations . In no event, however, shall Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders be liable to Borrower or to any Loan Party or anyone else for other damages such as, but not limited to, indirect, speculative or punitive damages whatever the nature of the breach by Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders of its obligations under this Loan Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents.

- 21 -

9.3 Preemptive Rights.
  (a)   The Company agrees that it will not offer or sell any New Securities (as defined herein) unless it first offers to the Purchaser the right to purchase a portion of such New Securities in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this Section 9.3. If the Company proposes to sell any New Securities, other than pursuant to a Non-Eligible Public Offering (as defined herein), then the Company shall provide the Purchaser with written notice of the terms or proposed terms for the sale of the New Securities (the “ Notice ”). If the Purchaser wishes to purchase New Securities pursuant to the Notice, it shall notify the Company by written notice within five business days after the Notice is delivered how many of such New Securities it desires to purchase. The Purchaser shall be entitled to purchase up to a number of New Securities equal to its pro rata percentage ownership of the Company on the Closing Date, calculated on a fully diluted basis (the “ Percentage Interest ”). If the Purchaser does not elect to purchase all of its Percentage Interest, the Company shall have the right to complete the sale of any New Securities offered to but not purchased by the Purchaser upon terms no less favorable to the Company than those specified in the Notice. The Purchaser shall not have any preemptive rights with respect to any New Securities sold by the Company in a Public Offering (as defined herein) unless in such Public Offering (i) the New Securities are anticipated to be priced at more than a 10% discount to the volume weighted average closing market price of the Common Stock on the NYSE during the three — trading day period immediately prior to the date of the Notice, based on the indicative range advised by the underwriters of such Public Offering or (ii) the Company sells more than 20% of its outstanding Common Stock in a Public Offering (any Public Offering other than a Public Offering described in (i) or (ii) above, a “ Non-Eligible Public Offering ”). In either of such events, the Purchaser shall have the right to subscribe for up to its Percentage Interest; provided, however, that it must exercise this right prior to the anticipated pricing of such Public Offering. The Company agrees to provide written notice to the Purchaser of a Public Offering in which the Purchaser has

- 22 -


 

      preemptive rights as promptly as practicable under the circumstances, and in any event prior to the pricing of such Public Offering.
  (b)   The closing of the purchase of New Securities by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall occur concurrently with the closing of the sale of the New Securities and at the same place as such sale or at such other time and place as the Company and the Purchaser may mutually determine. At such closing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser the certificates representing such New Securities, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances caused or created by the Company, and the Purchaser shall pay to the Company the purchase price for such New Securities by wire transfer of funds to the account and depository designated by the Company.
 
  (c)   The preemptive rights set forth in this Section 9.3 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect if the Purchaser owns less than 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company for more than 60 consecutive days following the earlier of (i) the Purchaser’s receipt of written notice from the Company that the Shares held by the Purchaser and its affiliates at such time represent less than 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock, and (ii) the public disclosure by the Company of its outstanding share data demonstrating that the Shares held by the Purchaser and its affiliates at such time represent less than 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock; provided, however, that the 60-consecutive day period requirement shall only apply if the Purchaser owns less than 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock as the result of (x) a Non-Eligible Public Offering or (y) any of the events described in clauses (i) through (iii) of the definition of New Securities and provided further that if, as a result of restrictions imposed under applicable United States securities laws (it being understood that a requirement to disgorge profits under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall not be deemed or construed to prevent the acquisition by the Purchaser of additional shares of Common Stock for purposes of this proviso), the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or otherwise imposed by the Company, the Purchaser is prevented from acquiring additional shares of Common Stock during the 60-consecutive day period referred to above, such period shall be extended by that number of days equal to the number of days during such 60-day period the Purchaser was prevented from acquiring additional shares, with such extension to start on the trading day following the later of (i) the last day of such 60-day period and (ii) the last day that such trading restrictions are applicable to the Purchaser.
 
  (d)   The Purchaser shall be entitled to assign its rights under this Section 9.3 to an affiliate of the Purchaser.
 
  (e)   New Securities ” means shares of Common Stock of the Company, or any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any right, option or warrant to acquire any Common Stock of the Company, except for the following: (i) the issuance, grant or sale of Common Stock, options to purchase Common Stock or Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options or other equity awards pursuant to any stock option, stock bonus or other stock

9.4 Hold Period.
     The Purchaser agrees that without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, it will not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, encumber, pledge or otherwise dispose of (collectively, a “ Transfer ”) any Shares, the Warrant or the Warrant Shares for a period of one year after the Closing Date other than (i) to one or more affiliates of the Purchaser, or (ii) pursuant to a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock. Thereafter, subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws no other restrictions on Transfer shall apply except that the Purchaser shall provide to the Company at least 30 days’ notice of its intent to Transfer any Shares, Warrant or Warrant Shares (other than any Transfer through the facilities of the NYSE (for which no prior notice shall be required). The obligation not to Transfer for a period of one year after the Closing Date shall not apply to any New Securities acquired by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.3 or Section 9.6(c).
9.5 Tax Representations.
     For so long as the Purchaser and its affiliates own Shares representing at least 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock, the Purchaser will use its reasonable commercial efforts to perform a periodic review to ascertain that the tax representations contained in Section 3.9 of this Agreement remain accurate and immediately will notify the Company upon determining that any of such tax representations is no longer true and correct or if it becomes aware of facts that it reasonably expects will cause any of the tax representations contained in Section 3.9 to no longer be true and correct.
9.6 Restrictions on Certain Actions.
  (a)   For a period ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, except as provided in Section 9.3, Section 9.6(b) or Section (c), the Purchaser, without the prior consent of the Board of Directors of the Company (excluding the director designated by the Purchaser), will not, nor will it permit any affiliate of the Purchaser to:
  (i)   acquire (other than through a stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other distribution made to holders of Common Stock of the Company), directly or indirectly or in conjunction with or through any other person, by purchase or otherwise, beneficial ownership of any additional Shares or any other securities of the Company (the “ Securities ”);

  (b)   Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.6(a), the Purchaser shall be permitted to acquire additional shares of Common Stock in the open market in an amount sufficient so as to maintain its Percentage Interest if the Shares owned by it and its affiliates come to represent less than its Percentage Interest as a result of (i) the issuance, grant or sale of Common Stock, options to purchase Common Stock or Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options or other equity awards pursuant to any stock option, stock bonus or other stock plan or arrangement adopted by the Company, (ii) the issuance of securities by the Company in connection with an acquisition, merger, joint venture, or sale or purchase of assets, (iii) any Common Stock issuable upon the redemption of outstanding Units in the Operating Partnership, or (iv) a Non Eligible Public Offering; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time or from time to time the Purchaser does not elect to purchase its Percentage Interest of New Securities as provided in Section 9.3, then the Percentage Interest shall automatically be reduced each such time to be calculated on a fully diluted basis at the time of each closing of the sale of New Securities.

GUARANTY
     This Guaranty is given this 26th day of October, 2009, by RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, an unincorporated closed end trust constituted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario (the “Guarantor”), in favor of Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Cedar Shopping Centers Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (collectively “Cedar”).
      WHEREAS, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated the date hereof (the “Agreement”), a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor (the “Purchaser”) will be acquiring shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock of Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc.;
      WHEREAS, the Guarantor is the direct or indirect sole stockholder of the Purchaser and expects to derive a financial advantage from this Guaranty; and
      WHEREAS, in order to induce Cedar to enter into the Agreement with Purchaser, the Guarantor has agreed to give this Guaranty in favor of Cedar.
      NOW, THEREFORE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, THIS GUARANTY WITNESSETH as follows:
     1. The Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due performance and prompt payment in full of any and all existing and future obligations of any and all kinds of the Purchaser to Cedar arising out of or in connection with the Agreement. If any term, condition or provision of the Agreement or the application thereof to any party or circumstance shall be ruled invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality

 


 

or enforceability of any term, condition or provision of this Guaranty shall not in any manner be affected or impaired.
     2. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty is an absolute, primary, direct, present and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and may be enforced without Cedar first attempting to collect from or without Cedar first resorting to any rights or remedies Cedar may have against the Purchaser or any other person or entity.
     3. The Guarantor hereby acknowledges that no release or extinguishment of the Purchaser’s obligations or liabilities (other than in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or otherwise with the written agreement of Cedar), whether by decree in any bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, shall affect the continuing validity and enforceability of this Guaranty.
     4. The Guarantor hereby consents to all of the terms and provisions of the Agreement as the same may be from time to time hereafter amended or changed, and waives and agrees not to assert as a defense in any action upon this Guaranty (a) notice of any amendment, modification or change in any term, condition or provision of the Agreement; (b) notice of any default under the Agreement; (c) demand for performance or observance of, and any enforcement of any term, condition or provision of, or any pursuit or exhaustion of any rights or remedies against Purchaser; and (d) to the extent it may lawfully do so, any and all demands and notices of every kind and description with respect to the foregoing or which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of law and any defense of any kind which it may now or hereafter have with respect to this Guaranty or the Agreement, except to the extent any such defense is available to Purchaser.

- 2 -


 

     5. No failure on the part of Cedar to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver under this Guaranty, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Cedar of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other right, remedy or power.
     6. The Guaranty herein contained shall be a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force until all of the obligations of the Purchaser under the Agreement shall have been satisfied in full.
     7. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Cedar, its successors and assigns.
     8. Cedar acknowledges that this letter agreement shall be conclusively taken to have been executed by, or by officers of the Guarantor on behalf of, the trustees of the Guarantor only in their capacity as trustees of the Guarantor. Cedar hereby disavows any liability upon and waive any claim against holders of units of the Guarantor and annuitants under plans of which holders of units of the Guarantor act as trustee or carrier and the obligations created hereunder are not personally binding upon, nor shall resort be had to, nor shall recourse or satisfaction be sought from, the private property of any trustee or officer of the Guarantor or any holder of units of the Guarantor or annuitant, but the property of the Guarantor from time to time or a specific portion thereof only shall be bound. It is agreed that the benefit of this provision is restricted to the trustees and officers of the Guarantor, each holder of units issued by the Guarantor and annuitants and, solely for that purpose, the undersigned signing officers of the Guarantor have entered into this provision as agent and trustee for and on behalf of the trustees of the Guarantor, each holder of units of the Guarantor and each annuitant.

- 3 -


 

     9. Any demand or notice to be made or given by Cedar to the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be given by notice addressed to the Guarantor at the address provided in Section 10.8 of the Agreement.
     10. This Guaranty cannot be changed or terminated orally and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws.

SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
OF
CEDAR SHOPPING CENTERS, INC.
NO. W 1
1,428,570 Shares
October 30, 2009
      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the undersigned, CEDAR SHOPPING CENTERS, INC., a Maryland corporation (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Company”), hereby certifies that
RIOCAN HOLDINGS USA INC.
or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the period specified in this Warrant (this “Warrant”), 1,428,570 shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company, $0.06 par value (“Common Stock”), at an initial exercise price of $7.00 per share (“Exercise Price”), subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. This Warrant is issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 26, 2009 among the Company, Cedar Shopping Centers Partnership, L.P., RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust and RioCan Holdings USA Inc. (the “Purchase Agreement”), and, by execution of the Purchase Agreement, the holder hereof has agreed (and any transferee of this Warrant will agree) to comply with the obligations set forth herein and therein.
1.   Exercise of This Warrant. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), by the surrender of this Warrant (properly endorsed if required) at the office of the Company, 44 South Bayles Avenue, Port Washington, New York 11050, or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the holder hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, at

 


 

    any time and from time to time after the date hereof and before 5:00 P.M., New York City time, two years from the date hereof (the “Exercise Period”) upon payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for such shares.
    The Exercise Price for shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be payable as follows: (a) by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price in cash, by check or by wire transfer of funds or (b) by surrender to the Company for cancellation of notes or debt securities of the Company having a principal balance plus accrued interest on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price for such shares or (c) by a combination of the methods described in clauses (a) and (b) above. The Company agrees that the shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. Certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered to the holder hereof as promptly as practicable after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to the holder hereof within such time.
2.   Reservation, Issuance and Listing of Stock.
  A.   A. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue upon exercise of the Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. The Company will, at its expense, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such shares to be listed (subject to issuance or notice of issuance) on all stock exchanges, if any, on which the Company’s Common Stock may become listed during the Exercise Period.
 
  B.   The Company covenants that all shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, not subject to preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof.
3.   Exercise Price. The above provisions are, however, subject to the following:
  A.   Initial Exercise Price. The initial Exercise Price of $7.00 per share shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided.
 
  B.   Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares of Common Stock Issuable. The Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the following provisions, such adjustments shall take effect at the close of business on the date of any such split, subdivision, dividend or combination, as the case may be:

- 2 -


 

  (1)   In case the Company shall at any time split or subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock or shall issue a stock dividend with respect to the Common Stock resulting in the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event shall be proportionally increased and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be proportionately decreased to reflect such split, subdivision or stock dividend, as the case may be.
 
  (2)   In case the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event shall be proportionally decreased and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be proportionately increased to reflect such combination.
 
  (3)   In case the Company shall declare a cash dividend on its Common Stock (excluding Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such dividend shall be proportionately reduced immediately thereafter to reflect such dividend; such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In the event that such dividend is not so paid, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors of the Company determines not to pay such dividend, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. For purposes of this Warrant, “Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course” shall mean dividends on Common Stock not to exceed $.225 per share per quarter.
  C.   Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If the Company shall effect a reorganization, shall merge with or consolidate into another corporation, or shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, securities, property or assets of the Company, successor or transferee or an affiliate thereof or cash are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock, then the holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of stock or other securities, property or assets of the Company, successor, transferee or affiliate thereof or cash receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to that to which the holder of this Warrant upon the exercise thereof immediately prior to such event would have been entitled. The provisions of this subsection 3.0 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, mergers, consolidations or dispositions of assets. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer hereinabove referred to, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities, property, assets and cash receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or

- 3 -


 

      transfer, as the case may be. The Company shall not effect any such reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting therefrom or the corporation purchasing such assets shall, by written instrument executed and mailed to the registered holder hereof at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, (i) assume the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities, property or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase, and (ii) agree to be bound by all the terms of this Warrant.
 
  D.   Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price and any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, then, and in each such case, the Company, as promptly as practicable thereafter, shall give written notice thereof to the holder hereof at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Company which notice shall state the Exercise Price as adjusted and the increased or decreased number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each.
 
  E.   Other Notices. In case at any time the Company shall propose to (a) reorganize, or reclassify the capital stock of the Company, or consolidate, merge or otherwise combine with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person or (b) voluntarily or involuntarily dissolve, liquidate or wind up of the affairs of the Company; then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give to the holder hereof at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
4.   No Voting Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
5.   Transfer and Registration of Warrants. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Section 1 hereof by the holder hereof in person or his duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed; provided, that this Warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with (i) the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) all applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including, to the extent required by law or reasonably requested by the Company, the delivery of appropriate investment representations in customary form). Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed may be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner thereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant, or to the transfer hereof on the books of the Company, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such books, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the owner for all purposes.

- 4 -


 

6.   Exchanges of Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the holder hereof at such office or agency of the Company, for new Warrants of like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of shares that may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to subscribe for and purchase such number of shares as shall be designated by said holder hereof at the time of such surrender.
7.   No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise of the Warrant, but, in lieu thereof, there shall be paid an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the closing price of a whole share of Common Stock on the business day preceding the day of exercise.
8.   Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
9.   Remedies. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate, and that such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.
10.   Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given five (5) days after having been mailed in the United States by registered or certified mail, addressed if given to the Company to the principal office of the Company, Attention: President, or if given to a holder of this Warrant addressed to such holder at his address as the same shall appear on the books of the Company.
11.   Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by both the Company and the holder hereof. This Warrant is being delivered in the State of New York and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of such State. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.
12.   Expiration of Warrants. At 5:00 P.M. New York time on the last day of its Exercise Period, the Warrant, if not exercised prior thereto, shall be and become wholly void and of no value.
13.   No Impairment. The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its charter documents or through any reorganization, reclassification, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other similar voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of

- 5 -


 

        the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the holder hereof against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall take all commercially reasonable action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, free and clear of all liens, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction over it as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
14.   Supplying Information; Rule 144. The Company shall cooperate with the holder hereof in supplying such information as may be reasonably necessary for such holder to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) for the transfer hereof The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to at all times make public information available so as to afford the holder hereof the benefits of Rule 144 of the Commission in connection with resales.

any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder and, (x) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggy—Back Registration and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy—Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy—Back Registration that involves an underwriter(s) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such Piggy—Back Registration and (ii) complete and execute all questionnaires, powers—of—attorney, indemnities, opinions and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting agreement.

          (c) If the underwriter for a Piggy—Back Registration advises the Company and the Holders in writing that in their opinion the inclusion of Registrable Securities by a Holder would materially adversely affect the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of the offering, then the Company shall include in such offering, as to each Holder exercising piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and any other person or persons having a written contractual right to request their shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company be included in such offering, that number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company that the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering without materially adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of the offering, determined as follows:
          (i) if the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (a) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell and (b) second, any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by holders of written contractual piggy—back registration rights (including the Holders) which can be included therein without, in the opinion of the underwriters, materially adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of the offering, pro rata among such holders on the basis of the relative number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company requested to be included in such registration by such holders, and
          (ii) if the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons other than the Holders: (a) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company to be sold for the account of such demanding persons that can be sold without, in the opinion of the underwriters, materially adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of the offering and (b) second, any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the

- 4 -


 

Company held by other holders of written contractual piggy—back registration rights (including the Holders) which can be included therein without, in the opinion of the underwriters, materially adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of the offering, pro rata among such holders on the basis of the relative number of shares of Common Stock or other - securities of the Company requested to be included in such registration by such holders.
     2.3 Other Registration Procedures. With respect to any registration of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2(b), the Company shall:

          (b) use its reasonable best efforts to (x) register and qualify the Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such states or jurisdictions specified in writing by the Selling Holders, keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period in which the registration statement for such Registrable Securities is required to be kept effective, and (y) do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable each Selling Holder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;

- 6 -


 

inclusion in any of the foregoing documents. The remedies provided in this Section 2.4 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to the Holders at law or in equity.
     2.5 Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder shall:
          (a) Furnish in writing all information to the Company concerning itself and its holdings of securities of the Company as shall be required in connection with the preparation and filing of any registration statement covering any Registrable Securities; and
          (b) Indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed any registration statement covering any Registrable Securities, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Company, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person or underwriter may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) are caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, the prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for inclusion in any of the foregoing documents, and each Holder shall reimburse the Company and any such underwriter, officer, director or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each Holder’s liability under this Section 2.5 shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after deducting any applicable underwriting discount and expenses associated with the Registrable Securities sold thereunder) received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities by such Holder. The remedies provided in this Section 2.5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to the Company at law or in equity.
     2.6 Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (a) the indemnification required by Section 2.4 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or legal or other expenses, with respect to which indemnity is to be provided thereunder or (b) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the indemnified party in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under Section 2.4; then, and in each such case, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or legal or other expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue

- 7 -


 

statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.6. No Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds of the offering (before deducting expenses) received by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay under Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 or otherwise by reason of untrue or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions.: No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 12 of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
     2.7 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Each Holder, the Company and each other person indemnified pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5 hereof will, in the event it receives notice of the commencement of any action against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5, promptly notify the indemnifying party, in writing, of the commencement of such action and permit the indemnifying party, if the indemnifying party so notifies the indemnified party within 10 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of notice of the commencement of the action, to participate in and to assume the defense of such action with counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and disbursements and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The omission to notify the indemnifying party promptly of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability to indemnify the indemnified party, under Section 2.4 or Section 2.5 hereof, as applicable, except to the extent the indemnifying party shall suffer any loss by reason of such failure to give notice and shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any other liabilities which it may have under this or any other agreement. Any fees and expenses incurred by the indemnified party (including any fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such action or proceeding) shall be advanced to the indemnified party, as incurred, within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof to the indemnifying party. Any such indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expenses of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to promptly assume the defense of such action, claim or proceeding or (iii) the named parties to any such action, claim or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and such indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party and that the assertion of such defenses would create a conflict of interest such that counsel employed by the indemnifying party could not faithfully represent the indemnified party (in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in

- 8 -


 

writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action, claim or proceeding on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action, claim or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions, claims or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, unless in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such action, claim or proceeding, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels).
     2.8 Rule 144. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to file any and all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such reporting requirements.

     3.2 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of and shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, including, without limitation, any successor of the Company by merger, acquisition, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise.

Each of the parties therefore agrees that in the event of such a breach hereof the aggrieved party may elect to institute and prosecute proceedings in any court having jurisdiction as agreed to in Section 3.5 to seek to enforce specific performance or to enjoin the continuing breach hereof.

  (b)   The aggregate consideration payable by RioCan to Cedar on the Closing Dates for the Interests (other than the Interests of the Indirect Owners of Blue Mountain and the Earn-Out Proceeds in respect of the Franklin Village Applebee’s Space and the Franklin Village New Lease Space) shall be One Hundred Sixteen Million Five Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($116,520,000) (the “ Consideration ”) as allocated to each Property (other than Blue Mountain) as set forth in the applicable pro forma price schedule attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “ Allotted Consideration ”). For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the “Consideration” for the Interests of the Indirect Owners of Blue Mountain shall be the sum of (x) the Blue Mountain Closing Earn-Out Proceeds and (y) any amounts paid to Cedar as additional Earn-Out Proceeds pursuant to Section 4(a), (b) the Blue Mountain Closing Earn-Out Proceeds shall constitute the “Allotted Consideration” payable by RioCan to Cedar on the Blue Mountain Closing Date for the Interests of the Indirect Owners of Blue Mountain, and (c) the “Consideration” for the Interests of the Indirect Owners of Franklin Village shall be the sum of (x) the Allotted Consideration for Franklin Village, less any portion of the Franklin Village Earn-Out Escrow that is not disbursed to Cedar and (y) any amounts paid to Cedar as additional Earn-Out Proceeds pursuant to Section 4(b) in respect of the Franklin Village Applebee’s Space and the Franklin Village New Lease Space. Accordingly, for the avoidance of doubt, wherever this Agreement shall provide that, following the failure to close a particular Transaction that “the Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of the applicable Allotted Consideration”, the parties acknowledge and agree that (A) if such Transaction is the Blue Mountain Closing, no deduction of Consideration shall be made with respect to the other Transactions since the Consideration for Blue Mountain consists entirely of Earn-Out Proceeds and (B) if such Transaction is the Franklin Village Closing, only the portion of the Consideration representing the Franklin Village Earn-Out Escrow and the Allotted Consideration for the portion of Franklin Village that is not included in the Franklin Village Earn-Out Space, shall be deducted. The Allotted Consideration shall be (i) reduced for each Transaction by eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding principal amount as of the Closing Date of the Loan applicable thereto and (ii) adjusted pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement (the Allotted Consideration, as so reduced and adjusted, the “ Net Consideration ”). Each of Cedar and RioCan (and their respective direct and indirect partners, members, owners, beneficiaries, investors, and shareholders) agree to allocate the Consideration as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes (which shall include all capitalizable costs incurred in connection with the transactions hereunder) among the Properties for all purposes (including, without limitation, accounting, financial reporting and federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes) on the basis of Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and in a manner consistent with Exhibit E, as such allocation may be amended from time to time pursuant to the next sentence. The allocation of the Consideration shall be amended to reflect any adjustment to the Consideration. The Net Consideration shall be payable as follows:

- 14 -


 

  (i)   RioCan shall pay the applicable Net Consideration to Cedar, and in consideration therefor, Cedar shall transfer or cause to be transferred the subject Interests to the REIT Property Subsidiary; and
 
  (ii)   RioCan shall pay the Net Consideration to Cedar by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account or accounts designated by Cedar.
  (c)   Within two (2) Business Days after the date this Agreement is executed and delivered by Cedar and RioCan, RioCan shall deposit with the Escrow Agent, as escrowee, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated by the Escrow Agent, the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (together with all interest thereon, the “ Deposit ”). The Deposit shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the escrow agreement attached hereto as Exhibit F. If RioCan shall fail to deposit the Deposit with the Escrow Agent within two (2) Business Days after the date this Agreement shall be executed and delivered by Cedar and RioCan, at Cedar’s election exercised by delivery of written notice to RioCan following such two (2) Business Day period but prior to receipt of the Deposit, this Agreement shall be null, void ab initio and of no force or effect. The Deposit shall be applied in partial payment of the applicable Allotted Consideration required to be made by RioCan at the Closing of the Transaction with respect to the last remaining Property.
The provisions of this Section 2 shall survive the Closings.
3.   Closing.
The closing (each a “ Closing ”) of the Transactions shall occur in stages. The first Closing shall occur at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date that is ten (10) days after the satisfaction (or waiver) of the last of all conditions precedent for one or more Transactions (the “ First Scheduled Closing Date ”). Each of the remaining Transactions with respect to which all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to do so, shall occur on the date that is ten (10) days after the satisfaction (or waiver) of the last of all such conditions precedent for the applicable Transaction (each, a “ Remaining Scheduled Closing Date ”; together with the First Scheduled Closing Date, the “ Scheduled Closing Date(s) ”); provided, however, that RioCan shall have the right to adjourn a particular Scheduled Closing Date (other than the First Scheduled Closing Date) not more than two (2) times to a Business Day that is not later sixty (60) days following the applicable Scheduled Closing Date (the “ Outside RioCan Adjournment Date ”) by delivery of written notice to Cedar on or prior to the original Scheduled Closing Date of the adjourned Scheduled Closing Date. Without limitation to the foregoing, the parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to close as many of the Transactions on the same date as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the right of Cedar to adjourn the Closing of one or more Transactions pursuant to Section 12(b) or Section 25 hereof, in the event that all of the conditions precedent with respect to any Transaction shall not have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to do so by July 26, 2010 (the “ Outside Closing Date ”), then, subject to Section 5, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on such Outside Closing Date as to such Transaction , the Deposit shall

- 15 -


 

be refunded to RioCan (if no other Closing with respect to another Property remains outstanding) and the Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of the applicable Allotted Consideration, whereupon the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further liability and responsibility under this Agreement with respect to such Transaction (except for any obligation expressly provided to survive a termination of this Agreement). The Closings shall occur at the offices of the Title Company through an escrow and pursuant to escrow instructions consistent with the terms of this Agreement and otherwise mutually satisfactory to Cedar and RioCan (the date on which any Closing shall occur being herein referred to as a “ Closing Date ”). Each Closing shall constitute approval by each of Cedar and RioCan of all matters to which such party has a right of approval and a waiver of all conditions precedent related to the applicable Transaction.

- 24 -


 

rights and obligations of CSCI set forth therein, (c) a default by or breach by RioCan REIT, RioCan, any other RioCan Related Party and/or any RioCan Representative under the Confidentiality Agreement (including, but not limited to, as incorporated herein by reference) shall constitute a default by RioCan under this Agreement and (d) a default by or breach by CSCI or any Cedar Related Party under the Confidentiality Agreement (including, but not limited to, as incorporated herein by reference) shall constitute a default by Cedar under this Agreement.
11.   Undertaking.
          Cedar shall use commercially reasonable efforts to locate and deliver to RioCan the materials listed on Exhibit H attached hereto and made a part hereof.
12. Lender Approval.
  (a)   With respect to each of the Transactions (other than the Transactions involving Blue Mountain and Sunset Crossing), Cedar shall use commercially reasonable efforts commencing promptly after the date hereof to obtain from the Lenders their respective written approval or agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to RioCan of (i) the Reorganizations, if applicable, and the Transactions, (ii) the applicable Management Agreement, (iii) a one time transfer on or after the applicable Closing of either (A) forty-nine percent (49%) or a lesser amount of the direct or indirect interests in RioCan to a single Institutional Investor or (B) RioCan’s entire partnership interest in the Partnership to a U.S. entity wholly owned and Controlled by RioCan REIT and a single Institutional Investor and at least fifty-one percent (51%) owned, directly or indirectly, by RioCan REIT and not more than forty-nine percent (49%) owned, directly or indirectly, by such Institutional Investor, and (iv) a transfer pursuant to the buy/sell provisions of the Partnership Agreement (collectively, with any other related approvals required pursuant to the applicable Loan Documents the “ Loan Approvals ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the refusal of a Lender to pre-approve or otherwise permit any of the following without the consent of such Lender shall not be grounds for RioCan to claim that a Loan Approval is not reasonably acceptable to RioCan (or that a condition precedent to RioCan’s obligation to close the applicable Transaction has not been satisfied): (w) any transfer of a partnership interest in the Partnership from Cedar to RioCan (or any affiliate of either of the foregoing) after Closing, (x) any transfer of up to forty-nine percent (49%) of the stock in RioCan to a third party Institutional Investor on or after Closing, (y) any transfer of RioCan’s entire partnership interest in the Partnership to a U.S. entity wholly owned and Controlled by RioCan REIT and a single Institutional Investor on or after Closing and/or (z) any transfer pursuant to the buy/sell and/or right of first refusal provisions of the Partnership Agreement. In addition, if any Lender shall condition its Loan Approval upon modifying the applicable organizational documents of the Owners, any other agreements to be delivered in connection herewith and/or the terms of the contemplated Reorganizations in order for the same to comply with the single purpose entity and/or bankruptcy remoteness requirements of the applicable Loan Documents

- 25 -


 

and/or other reasonable requirements of such Lender, in each case, which modifications do not materially increase the liabilities (including, without limitation, potential tax liabilities) or materially limit the rights or economic benefits of Cedar or RioCan under this Agreement or any other agreements to be delivered in connection herewith, the same shall constitute neither a default by Cedar under this Agreement nor the failure of a condition precedent to the obligation of any party to close hereunder, and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any such requirements to the satisfaction of such Lender. Cedar shall request that the documents evidencing a Loan Approval contain a statement from the Lender identifying, in writing, the outstanding principal balance and interest rate of the applicable Loan and whether, to Lender’s knowledge, any default exists under the applicable Loan Documents (the “ Loan Estoppel Statement ”). Cedar and RioCan agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in connection with the foregoing (including, without limitation, promptly furnishing to the Lenders all information and documents (financial and otherwise) which may be required under the Loan Documents or otherwise reasonably requested by the Lenders). For avoidance of doubt, failure by Cedar to obtain (x) any Loan Approval in the manner provided herein shall not constitute a default by Cedar under this Agreement, but shall constitute the mere failure of a condition precedent as more particularly set forth in Section 18 below and/or (y) any Loan Estoppel Statement in the manner provided herein shall constitute neither a default by Cedar under this Agreement nor the failure of a condition precedent to the obligation of any party to close hereunder.
  (b)   If, with respect to one (1) or more of the applicable Properties (each, a “ Subject Property ”), necessary Loan Approvals shall not have been obtained by Cedar and RioCan prior to 5:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on July 26, 2010 (the “ Loan Approval Deadline ”), then Cedar shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, exercisable by delivery of written notice to RioCan to either (x) extend the Loan Approval Deadline with respect to the Subject Property(ies) by a period not to exceed, in the aggregate, thirty (30) days (the “ Extension Period ”) and, if necessary, extend the Closing of the related Transaction(s) (the “ Subject Transaction(s)”) in connection therewith, or (y) remove the Interests associated with the Subject Property(ies) (the “ Subject Interests ”) from the Interests being conveyed pursuant to this Agreement, in which case this Agreement shall terminate as to the Subject Transaction, the Deposit shall be refunded to RioCan (if no other Closing with respect to a Property that is not a Subject Property remains outstanding) and the Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of the applicable Allotted Consideration, whereupon the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further liability and responsibility under this Agreement with respect to the Subject Interests, the Subject Property and the Subject Transaction (except for any obligation expressly provided to survive a termination of this Agreement). If Cedar shall make an election under clause (x) of this Section 12(b), then the following shall apply:

- 26 -


 

  (i)   The parties shall proceed with the Closing of any other Transaction that is not a Subject Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
  (ii)   If Cedar does not obtain any or all outstanding Loan Approval(s) by the expiration of the Extension Period, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to the Subject Transaction only, in which case the Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of the applicable Allotted Consideration, the Deposit shall be refunded to RioCan (if no other Closing with respect to a Property that is not a Subject Property remains outstanding), and the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further liability and responsibility under this Agreement with respect to the Subject Interests, the Subject Property and the Subject Transaction, except for any obligation expressly provided to survive a termination of this Agreement.

RioCan acknowledges and agrees that its sole and exclusive remedy against Cedar in connection with the foregoing responsibilities shall be either an action for specific performance or a claim for direct damages (excluding special, indirect, consequential and punitive damages), RioCan hereby waiving any other right or remedy it may otherwise have at law or equity. The provisions of this Section 19 notwithstanding, nothing contained herein shall limit or in any way be deemed to modify the “as is, where is” nature of the Transactions as more particularly set forth in Section 13(d) of this Agreement and RioCan hereby confirms its agreement to waive any right it may have at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to seek damages or contribution from Cedar in connection with the physical (including, without limitation, environmental) condition of the Properties (except in connection with any breach of applicable representations and warranties of Cedar contained in Section 13(a) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement).

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Cedar nor any Owner shall have the obligation to restore, repair or replace any portion of any Property or any such damage or destruction. If, with respect to any Property, the amount of the damage (as determined by an independent third party contractor or engineer selected by Cedar and reasonably approved by RioCan) or the amount of condemnation award shall exceed an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the applicable Allotted Consideration, RioCan shall have the right to elect to terminate this Agreement as to the applicable Transaction only by written notice to Cedar given within ten (10) days after notification to RioCan of the estimated amount of damages or the determination of the amount of any condemnation

  (b)   In the event of any condemnation or casualty as aforesaid, the applicable Closing Date shall be extended as and to the extent necessary to permit the determination of the damage amount or condemnation award in the manner herein provided, to a Business Day selected by Cedar and reasonably approved by RioCan. The parties hereby waive the provisions of any statute which provides for a different outcome or treatment in the event of a casually or a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding.
  (c)   RioCan shall not have any right to terminate this Agreement with respect to any Transaction on account of any condemnation or casualty except as expressly provided in this Section 20. In the event that the parties shall proceed to close a Transaction notwithstanding the occurrence of any condemnation or casualty as aforesaid, the corresponding condemnation awards or proceeds of insurance shall be adjusted, settled, collected and/or applied by the applicable Property Owner or Lender in accordance with the applicable Loan Documents provided that in no event shall any condemnation awards or proceeds of insurance received prior to the applicable Closing Date be distributed to Cedar and the same shall be held by or for the benefit of the applicable Property Owner or applied to the costs and expenses of the applicable Property and provided further that Cedar shall be solely responsible for the payment of the deductible under any insurance policy with respect to any casualty occurring prior to the applicable Closing Date.

  (c)   Prior to the exercise by Cedar or RioCan of any right or remedy afforded to it pursuant to Section 24(a) or Section 24(b) herein, as applicable, such party (the “ Non-Defaulting Party ”) shall deliver written notice (a “ Default Notice ”) to the other party hereunder (the “ Defaulting Party ”) identifying the applicable breach or default and the Defaulting Party shall have ten (10) days after delivery such Default Notice to cure such breach or default. If a Defaulting Party fails to cure any default or breach that is the subject of a Default Notice within such ten (10) day period, the Non-Defaulting Party may exercise all rights and remedies afforded to it pursuant to Section 24(a) or Section 24(b) above, as applicable.
  (d)   The provisions of this Section 24 shall survive the Closings and/or a termination of this Agreement.
25. Title Reviews.
  (a)   RioCan has obtained, or shall promptly after the date hereof obtain, current title reports for each of the Properties from the Title Company or Stewart Title Insurance Company (the “ Title Reports ”). If any exceptions(s) to title to any Property should appear in the Title Reports that are not Permitted Exceptions, then, no later than November 5, 2009 (the “ Title Objection Deadline ”), RioCan shall promptly deliver copies thereof to Cedar, together with copies of the applicable exception documentation and written notice of disapproval of said exceptions (a “ Title Objection Letter ”). Any such title exceptions so objected to by RioCan pursuant to this Section 25(a) shall be deemed to be “ Title Objections .” Subject to Section 25(c) below, within ten (10) days following receipt of the Title Objection Letter, Cedar shall deliver written notice to RioCan of any Title Objections with respect to which Cedar, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to undertake the removal prior to or at the applicable Closing (the “ Title Objection Response ”); provided, however, that if Cedar shall fail to deliver any Title Objection Response by the expiration of such ten (10) day

- 59 -


 

      period, Cedar shall be deemed to have elected not to undertake the removal of the subject Title Objections. Subject to Section 25(c) below, if Cedar elects or is deemed to have elected not to cure any Title Objection, RioCan’s only options in response thereto shall be waive the Title Objections or to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days following its receipt or deemed receipt of the Title Objection Response as it relates to the applicable Property or Properties (it being acknowledged and agreed that RioCan’s failure to so terminate with the aforementioned ten (10) day period shall constitute an election to waive such Title Objections), whereupon the Deposit shall be refunded to RioCan (if no other Closing with respect to another Property remains outstanding), the Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of the applicable Allotted Consideration, and the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further liability and responsibility under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Transaction, except for any obligation expressly provided to survive a termination of this Agreement or, if applicable, any Closing that may have already occurred hereunder. Subject to Section 25(c) below, if Cedar shall have elected to undertake the removal of a Title Objection but does not cause the removal thereof by the applicable Scheduled Closing Date, RioCan shall have the option, to be exercised by RioCan by written notice to Cedar on or before the applicable Scheduled Closing Date, to either (A) accept the Property “as is” with respect to such Title Objections and consummate the Closings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (B) terminate this Agreement as it relates to the applicable Property or Properties by written notice thereof to Cedar, whereupon the Deposit shall be refunded to RioCan (if no other Closing with respect to another Property remains outstanding), the Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of the applicable Allotted Consideration, and the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further liability and responsibility under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Transaction, except for any obligation expressly provided to survive a termination of this Agreement or, if applicable, any Closing that may have already occurred hereunder. Should RioCan fail to elect an option in writing by the applicable Scheduled Closing Date, RioCan shall be deemed to have elected option (A) above. For avoidance of doubt, Cedar shall not under any circumstance be required or obligated to cause the cure or removal of any Title Objection (other than Mandatory Cure Items) including, without limitation, to bring any action or proceeding, to make any payments or otherwise to incur any expense in order to eliminate any Title Objection or to arrange for title insurance insuring against enforcement of such Title Objection against, or collection of the same out of, the applicable Property, notwithstanding that Cedar may have attempted to do so.
  (b)   If RioCan shall object to any exceptions(s) to title to the Property, other than the Permitted Exceptions, of which RioCan is first made aware in any update made to any Title Report or in any updated survey received after the earlier of the date of the Title Objection Letter delivered pursuant to Section 25(a) above or the Title Objection Deadline, RioCan shall deliver copies thereof to Cedar, together with copies of the applicable exception documentation(s) or updated survey, if applicable, and written notice of disapproval of said exceptions no later than the earlier of (i) the applicable Scheduled Closing Date and (ii) ten (10) days after

- 60 -


 

      receipt by RioCan of the applicable updated Title Report. Any such title exceptions so objected to by RioCan pursuant to this Section 25(b) shall be deemed to be “ Additional Title Objections .” Subject to Section 25(c) below, no later than the earlier of (i) the applicable Scheduled Closing Date and (ii) ten (10) days after receipt by Cedar of written notice from RioCan of any Additional Title Objections, Cedar shall deliver a Title Objection Response to RioCan of any Additional Title Objections with respect to which Cedar, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to undertake the removal prior to or at the applicable Closing; provided, however, that if Cedar shall fail to deliver any Title Objection Response by the applicable Scheduled Closing Date, Cedar shall be deemed to have elected not to cause the removal of the subject Additional Title Objections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Cedar shall elect to undertake the removal of any Additional Title Objections hereunder, Cedar shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion upon delivery of prior written notice to RioCan, to extend the applicable Scheduled Closing Date by up to thirty (30) days in the aggregate, to cause the removal thereof. Subject to Section 25(c) below, if Cedar indicates or is deemed to have indicated that it will not cure any Additional Title Objection or, if Cedar shall have elected to undertake the removal of an Additional Title Objection but does not cause the removal thereof by the applicable Scheduled Closing Date, RioCan shall have the option, by (I) if Cedar shall have elected (or is deemed to have elected) not to cause the removal of the Additional Title Objection, the earlier of the Scheduled Closing Date and third (3rd) Business Day after receipt of the Title Objection Response (or the date such Title Objection Response shall have been due, as applicable) or (II) if Cedar shall have elected to undertake the removal of an Additional Title Objection but does not cause the removal thereof by the applicable Scheduled Closing Date, the Scheduled Closing Date, to either (A) accept the applicable Property “as is” with respect to such Additional Title Objections and consummate applicable the Closings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (B) terminate this Agreement as it relates to the applicable Property or Properties by written notice thereof to Cedar, whereupon the Deposit shall be refunded to RioCan (if no other Closing with respect to another Property remains outstanding), the Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of the applicable Allotted Consideration, and the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further liability and responsibility under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Transaction, except for any obligation expressly provided to survive a termination of this Agreement or, if applicable, any Closing that may have already occurred hereunder. Should RioCan fail to elect an option in writing within said three (3) Business Day period, RioCan shall be deemed to have elected option (A) above. For avoidance of doubt, Cedar shall not under any circumstance be required or obligated to cause the cure or removal of any Additional Title Objection (other than Mandatory Cure Items) including, without limitation, to bring any action or proceeding, to make any payments or otherwise to incur any expense in order to eliminate any Additional Title Objection or to arrange for title insurance insuring against enforcement of such Additional Title Objection against, or collection of the same out of, the applicable Property, notwithstanding that Cedar may have attempted to do so.

- 61 -


 

  (c)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Cedar shall cause the removal (by bonding or otherwise) prior to the applicable Scheduled Closing Date of any monetary liens encumbering any Property (that is not a Permitted Exception hereunder) objected to by RioCan in accordance with Section 25(a) or Section 25(b) above, if the placing of such lien was solely the direct result of the actions of Cedar (including, without limitation, resulting from the initial construction of Blue Mountain) and not otherwise caused by any tenant at, or prior owner of, the Property or any other third party (each, a “ Mandatory Cure Item ”).

  (i)   If any Partner shall fail to contribute all or a portion of any Call Amount on or before the date set forth on the applicable Call Notice (each of the foregoing, a “ Default ”, such defaulting Partner being herein referred to as a “ Defaulting Partner ,” and the unpaid portion of such Defaulting Partner’s share of any Call Amount, the “ Open Call Amount ”), such Defaulting Partner shall remain liable in respect of its obligation to fund its Call Amount and any other amounts due and payable by such Partner hereunder, and the General Partner or its Affiliate that is a Limited Partner (or if the Defaulting Partner is the General Partner or such Affiliate, the other Limited Partner) may elect, in its sole discretion, to take any one or more of the remedial actions set forth in the remaining provisions of this subsection (d), provided that the General Partner or such Affiliate (or if the Defaulting Partner is the General Partner or such Affiliate, the other Limited Partner) shall have funded its entire Call Amount under the applicable Call Notice and does not have an outstanding Default Loan made to it hereunder (such non-defaulting Partner being referred to herein as the “ Lending Eligible Partner ”).
 
  (ii)   Default Loans . The Lending Eligible Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make a loan (a “ Default Loan ”) to such Defaulting Partner in an amount equal to the Open Call Amount at any time within forty-five (45) days after the funding date set forth on the applicable Call Notice, provided that such Defaulting Partner has not funded the entire Open Call Amount prior to the making of such Default Loan. If a Default Loan shall be made in accordance with this Section 2.2(d)(ii), the Lending Partner shall notify the Defaulting Partner of the amount and date of the Default Loan, which, subject to Section 2.2(d)(vi) below, shall be deemed to be a Capital Contribution (a “ Defaulting Partner Contribution ”) made by the Defaulting Partner, and the Capital Account of the Defaulting Partner shall be credited to reflect the payment of the proceeds of the Default Loan to the Partnership. Each Default Loan shall be deemed to be made to


 

 

      the Defaulting Partner, with the proceeds of each Default Loan being delivered to the Partnership by the Lending Eligible Partner making same in immediately available funds on such Defaulting Partner’s behalf. A Default Loan shall be deemed to have been advanced on the date actually advanced. Default Loans shall earn interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the Default Loan Rate or (ii) the Maximum Rate, from the date actually advanced until the same is repaid in full.
  (iii)   Default Loans shall be secured as provided in Section 2.2(d)(iv) and shall have a term of one hundred eighty (180) days (the “ Default Loan Maturity Date ”). A Lending Eligible Partner making a Default Loan (a “ Lending Partner ”) may, in the exercise of such Partner’s sole and absolute discretion, extend the term of a Default Loan for a period(s) to be determined by such Partner. If a Default Loan has been made, the Defaulting Partner shall not receive any distributions of Net Cash Flow or Net Proceeds of a Capital Transaction or any proceeds from the transfer of all or any part of its Interest while the Default Loan, including all interest thereon, if applicable, remains unpaid. Instead, the Defaulting Partner’s share of Net Cash Flow and Net Proceeds of a Capital Transaction or such other proceeds shall first be paid to the Lending Partner until all Default Loans to such Defaulting Partner, including interest thereon, shall have been repaid in full. Such payments shall be applied first to accrued interest on such Default Loans and then to the repayment of the principal amounts thereof, but shall be considered, for all other purposes of this Agreement, to have been distributed to the Defaulting Partner. Distributions of Net Cash Flow and Net Proceeds of a Capital Transaction to such Defaulting Partner shall be immediately reinstated prospectively upon the full repayment of a Default Loan, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Lending Partner. If a Default Loan, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has not been repaid in full on or before the date the same is due, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided in this Agreement, the Lending Partner shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity against the Defaulting Partner. The Defaulting Partner shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Lending Partner (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in connection with any enforcement or foreclosure upon any Default Loan and such costs, to the extent enforceable under applicable law, shall be added to the principal amount of the applicable Default Loan. In addition, at any time during the term of such Default Loan, the Defaulting Partner shall have the right to repay, in full, the Default Loan (including interest and other charges).
 
  (iv)   The Defaulting Partner shall be deemed to have pledged to the Lending Partner, and granted to such Lending Partner, a continuing first priority security interest in all of the Defaulting Partner’s Interest to secure the payment of the principal of, and interest on, any Default Loans made in accordance with the provisions hereof, and for such purpose this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement. The Defaulting Partner shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such financing statements, continuation statements or other documents and take such other actions as the Lending Partner shall request in order to perfect or continue the perfection of such security interest; and, if the Defaulting Partner shall fail to do so within seven (7) days after demand therefor, the Lending Partner is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of, and is hereby authorized on behalf of, the Defaulting Partner, to execute, acknowledge and deliver all such documents and take all such other actions as may be required to perfect such security interest. Such appointment and authorization are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
 
  (v)   Default Contributions . Except as provided in Section 2.2(d)(vi) below, in lieu of making a Default Loan, a Lending Eligible Partner may elect to make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership (a “ Default Contribution ”) in the amount of the Open Call Amount by delivering a notice (a “ Default Contribution Notice ”) to the Defaulting Partner which shall include the following statement set forth in all capital letters “NOTE: YOU HAVE FAILED TO MAKE A REQUIRED CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION TO [CR], L.P. IN THE AMOUNT OF $                      , AND THE


 

 

      UNDERSIGNED CAN ELECT TO FUND THE SAME AS A “DEFAULT CONTRIBUTION” AS DEFINED IN SECTION 2.2(D)(V) OF THE AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF [CR], L.P. IF SUCH REQUIRED CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION IS NOT MADE BY YOU ON OR BEFORE SEVEN (7) DAYS FOLLOWING THE DATE HEREOF.” A Lending Eligible Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make a Default Contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to the Open Call Amount at any time within forty-five (45) days after the seventh (7th) day following the delivery of a Default Contribution Notice provided that such Defaulting Partner has not funded the entire Open Call Amount prior to the making of such Default Contribution. If a Default Contribution(s) shall be made in accordance with this Section 2.2(d)(v), the Lending Eligible Partner shall notify the Defaulting Partner of the amount and date of the Default Contribution(s), and the Capital Account of the Lending Eligible Partner shall be credited to reflect the contribution of the Default Contribution to the Partnership. A Default Contribution shall be deemed to have been made on the date actually delivered to the Partnership.
  (vi)   A Lending Partner may elect at any time to convert all of a Default Loan into a Default Contribution on the terms hereinafter provided at any time after the seventh (7 th ) day following the delivery of a Default Contribution Notice. If a Default Loan is converted into a Default Contribution, then as of the date of such conversion, (1) the Lending Partner will be deemed to have made a Default Contribution in the amount of the outstanding balance of principal and accrued and unpaid interest under such Default Loan, (2) the Defaulting Partner shall be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of such Default Contribution which distribution shall be deemed as having repaid the outstanding balance of principal and interest under such Default Loan, and (3) the Defaulting Partner Contribution shall be deemed refunded and shall be null and void ab initio .
 
  (vii)   At the time the Lending Eligible Partner makes a Default Contribution or converts all of a Default Loan into a Default Contribution, (x) the Percentage Interest of each Partner shall be recalculated to equal the percentage equivalent of a fraction the numerator of which is the amount by which (A) the sum of (1) all Applicable Contributions made or deemed made by such Partner, and (2) an amount equal to ten percent (10%)(the “ Bonus Percentage ”) of all Default Contributions made or deemed made by such Partner, exceeds (B) the Bonus Percentage of all Default Contributions made or deemed made by the other unaffiliated Partners (i.e., for purposes of this subparagraph (vii), the Cedar Partners shall be “affiliates” of each other, but shall be “unaffiliated” with RioCan); and the denominator of which is the total amount of all Applicable Contributions by all Partners, and (y) the Capital Accounts and Capital Contributions of each Partner shall be adjusted so that the ratio of such Partner’s Capital Account and Capital Contributions to the aggregate Capital Accounts and aggregate Capital Contributions, respectively, of all Partners is equal to such Partner’s Percentage Interest (as adjusted hereunder). As used herein, “ Applicable Contributions ” means all Capital Contributions to the Partnership by all Partners, including Default Contributions and Defaulting Partner Contributions, but excluding all Defaulting Partner Contributions that are deemed to have been refunded pursuant to clause (3) of Section 2.2(d)(vi).
 
  (viii)   Withdrawal . If a Partner is not a Lending Eligible Partner but nevertheless funded all of its applicable Call Amount, or such Partner elects not to make a Default Loan or Default Contribution (or fails to make a Default Loan or Default Contribution in the time periods provided in Section 2.2(d)(ii) and Section 2.2(d)(v), as applicable), at the election of such Partner, the Capital Contribution advanced by such Partner in respect of such Call Amount shall promptly be returned by the Partnership to such Partner.
 
  (ix)   No Third Party Beneficiaries . The right of a Partner to send a Call Notice or to make a Default Loan or Default Contribution shall not confer upon any creditor or other third party having dealings with the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries any right,


 

 

      claim or other benefit, including the right to require any such Call Notice, Default Loan or Default Contribution.
  (e)   If Cedar LP is required to make additional Capital Contributions pursuant to Section 2.2(a) to fund Initial Real Property Costs or Shortfalls with respect to any Portfolio Investment (other than any of the Initial Properties), and Cedar LP, in good faith, has determined that making such additional Capital Contributions directly to the Partnership may adversely impact CSCI’s qualification as a “real estate investment trust” in accordance with Section 856 of the Code or otherwise may have material adverse tax consequences to the Cedar Partners, CSCI or Cedar Operating Partnership, Cedar LP shall have the right to make a contribution (such contribution, a “ Cedar Direct Contribution ”) to REIT Property Subsidiary, in an amount equal to the applicable Call Amount in lieu of making a Capital Contribution of such amount to the Partnership. Cedar LP shall notify RioCan of its intention to make a Cedar Direct Contribution and the Partners shall work in good faith to amend REIT Property Subsidiary’s partnership agreement to reflect the Cedar Direct Contribution and to amend this Agreement to reflect the dilution of the interests of Cedar LP in the Partnership that results from RioCan and Cedar GP making contributions to the Partnership with respect to the applicable Call Notice pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and as further provided in this Section 2.2(e). The obligation of Cedar LP to make additional Capital Contributions under Section 2.2(a) shall be reduced by the amount of any Cedar Direct Contribution. It is the intention of the Partners that following such amendments the aggregate interests, directly and indirectly, of the Cedar Partners in the assets owned by REIT Property Subsidiary shall equal twenty percent (20%) and the aggregate interests, directly and indirectly, of RioCan in the assets owned by REIT Property Subsidiary shall equal eighty percent (80%), subject, in each case, to any applicable adjustment that may have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(vii). Prior to or simultaneously with the funding of the first such Cedar Direct Contribution, REIT Property Subsidiary’s partnership agreement shall also be amended to provide for the admission of Cedar LP as an additional limited partner of REIT Property Subsidiary and the inclusion of such other provisions that are analogous to the provisions of this Agreement as may be necessary to preserve the substantive rights and obligations of the Partners provided herein in all material respects (e.g., with respect to transfer rights, in order to provide that all of the interests of Cedar LP in the Partnership and REIT Property Subsidiary will be included in a sale pursuant to Section 9.4 or 9.5 and the analogous provisions of REIT Property Subsidiary’s partnership agreement).
ARTICLE III
PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
3.1   Percentage Interests of General Partner and Limited Partners.
          The Percentage Interest of Cedar GP as a general partner in the Partnership shall be one percent (1%), the Percentage Interest of Cedar LP as a limited partner in the Partnership shall be nineteen percent (19%) and the Percentage Interest of RioCan as a limited partner in the Partnership shall be eighty percent (80%). The Percentage Interests shall not be changed without the prior written consent of all of the Partners, except as expressly provided in Section 2.2(d)(vii) or (e).

  (a)   Maintenance of Capital Accounts . The Partnership shall establish and maintain a separate “ Capital Account ” for each Partner on the books of the Partnership in accordance with the following provisions for accounting purposes:
  (i)   To each Partner’s Capital Account there shall be credited such Partner’s Capital Contributions, such Partner’s allocable share of Profits, and any items in the nature of income or gain that are specially allocated to such Partner under this Agreement, and the amount of any Partnership liabilities that are assumed by such Partner in accordance with the terms hereof (other than liabilities that are secured by any Partnership Asset distributed to such Partner).


 

 

  (ii)   To each Partner’s Capital Account there shall be debited the amount of cash and the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership property distributed to such Partner pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Partner is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752), such Partner’s allocable share of Losses, and any items in the nature of expenses or losses that are specially allocated to such Partner under this Agreement, and the amount of any liabilities of such Partner that are assumed by the Partnership (other than liabilities that are secured by any property contributed by such Partner to the Partnership).
 
  (iii)   In the event an Interest is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred Interest. In the case of Transfer of an Interest at a time when an election under Code Section 754 is in effect, the Capital Account of the transferee Partner shall not be adjusted to reflect the adjustments to the adjusted tax bases of Partnership property required under Code Sections 754 and 743, except as otherwise permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).
 
  (iv)   In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, there shall be taken into account Code Section 752(c) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and any other applicable provisions of the Code and Regulations.
 
  (v)   The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations.

The Partnership shall revalue the Capital Accounts of the Partners in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) at the following times: (i) immediately prior to the contribution of more than a de minimis amount of money or other property to the Partnership by a new or existing Partner as consideration for an interest in the Partnership; (ii) the distribution by the Partnership to a Partner of more than a de minimis amount of property as consideration for an Interest; and (iii) the liquidation of the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g); provided , that adjustments pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above need not be made if the General Partner reasonably determines that such adjustments are not necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interest of the Partners.
3.3   Return of Capital.
          No Partner shall be liable for the return of the Capital Contributions (or any portion thereof) of any other Partner, it being expressly understood that any such return shall be made solely from the Partnership Assets. No Partner shall be required to pay to the Partnership or to any other Partner any deficit in its Capital Account upon dissolution of the Partnership or otherwise, and no Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contributions or Capital Account, to receive interest on its Capital Contributions or Capital Account or to receive any distributions from the Partnership, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement or under the Delaware Act as then in effect.
ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS
4.1   General.
          Net Cash Flow and/or Net Proceeds of a Capital Transaction shall be distributed to the Partners as set forth in Section 4.2 and 4.3 below.
4.2   Net Cash Flow.
          Subject to Section 10.2, Net Cash Flow shall be distributed monthly (if available) by the General


 

 

Partner to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
4.3   Net Proceeds of a Capital Transaction.
          Subject to Section 10.2, Net Proceeds of a Capital Transaction shall be distributed by the General Partner as soon as practicable after the receipt thereof to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
4.4   Tax Payments.
          To the extent that any taxes or withholding taxes are due on behalf of or with respect to any Partner and the Partnership is required by law to withhold or to make such tax payments (“ Tax Payments ”), the Partnership shall withhold such amounts and make such Tax Payments as so required. The withholdings referred to in this Section 4.4 shall be made at the required applicable statutory rate under the applicable tax law. Each Tax Payment made on behalf of or with respect to a Partner shall be deemed a distribution of Net Cash Flow in such amount to such Partner to the extent such Tax Payment was not attributable to a Capital Transaction, and to the extent such Tax Payment is attributable to a Capital Transaction, it shall be deemed a distribution of Net Proceeds of a Capital Transaction to such Partner, and any such deemed distribution shall be deemed to have been paid to the Partner on the earlier of the date when the corresponding Tax Payment is made by the Partnership or the date that the distributions, if any, giving rise to the obligation to make such Tax Payment were made. If the Partnership is required to make a Tax Payment on behalf of or with respect to any Partner (the “ Taxed Partner ”) and the amount of such payment exceeds the cash that would otherwise be distributed to such Taxed Partner, the Taxed Partner shall pay to the Partnership by wire transfer the amount of such Tax Payment within ten (10) days of receipt by the Taxed Partner of a notice from the General Partner that it is required to make such Tax Payment. Any amounts paid by the Taxed Partner to the Partnership pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution and the remittance of such Tax Payment to the appropriate taxing authority shall not be treated as a deemed distribution to the Taxed Partner. Each Partner for which the Partnership is required to make a Tax Payment shall indemnify, defend and hold the Partnership and the other Partners harmless of, from and against Indemnified Losses incurred by the Partnership or any other Partner arising out of or in connection with the Tax Payments or obligations attendant thereto.
4.5   Limitation on Distributions.
          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the prior consent of the Partners, no distribution of Net Cash Flow or Net Proceeds of a Capital Transaction shall be made hereunder if such distribution would cause the Partnership to violate Section 17-607 of the Delaware Act or any other applicable law.
ARTICLE V
ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
5.1   Allocations for Accounting Purposes.
  (a)   Profits and Losses . Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Profits and Losses (and, to the extent necessary in the year of liquidation and to the extent permitted by Section 761 of the Code, the prior year, individual items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit) of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners for accounting purposes in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Partner, immediately after making such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the amount each Partner’s Percentage Interests.
 
  (b)   Tax Allocations . For United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with the allocations of the corresponding items for Capital Account purposes under Section 5.1(a), except that items with respect to which there is a difference between tax basis and Gross Asset Value will be allocated in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, the Regulations thereunder including Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i).
5.2   Special Allocations.


 

 

  (a)   The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:
  (i)   Minimum Gain Chargeback . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, subject to the exceptions set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, the Partners shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 5.2(a)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
 
  (ii)   Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, except Section 5.2(a), subject to the exceptions contained in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5) as at the beginning of such Fiscal Year, shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(g)(2). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 5.2(a)(ii) is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
 
  (iii)   Qualified Income Offset . In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in paragraphs (4), (5) and (6) of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), modified, as appropriate, by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to such Partners in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account deficit of such Partners as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(a)(iii) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partners would have an Adjusted Capital Account deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Section 5.2 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.2(a)(iii) were not in this Agreement.
 
  (iv)   Nonrecourse Deductions . Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
 
  (v)   Partner Nonrecourse Deductions . Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1). If more than one Partner bears the Economic Risk of Loss, such deduction shall be allocated between or among such Partners in accordance with the ratios in which such Partners share such Economic Risk of Loss.
 
  (vi)   Limitation on Allocation of Losses . Notwithstanding any provision of this


 

 

      Agreement, in no event shall Losses be allocated to a Partner to the extent such allocation would result in such Partner having an Adjusted Capital Account deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. All such Losses shall be allocated to the other Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, provided, however, that appropriate adjustments shall be made to the allocation of future Profits in order to offset such specially allocated Losses hereunder.
  (vii)   Section 754 Adjustments . To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership Asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of distributions to a Partner, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or an item of loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations as the result of distributions to a Partner in accordance with their interests in the Partnership as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(3) in the event Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Partner to whom such distribution was made in the event Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) (m)(4) applies.
 
  (viii)   Curative Allocations . The allocations contained in Sections 5.2(a)(i) through 5.2(a)(vii) (the “ Regulatory Allocations ”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Code and Treasury Regulations. The Partners intend that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either by other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.2(a)(viii). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Partnership shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner they reasonably determine to be appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all items were allocated pursuant to Section 5.1. In exercising its discretion under this Section 5.2(a)(viii), the Partnership shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 5.2(a)(i) through Section 5.2(a)(viii) that are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made.
5.3   Other Allocation Rules.
  (a)   For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as reasonably determined by the Partners using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
 
  (b)   Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be divided among the Partners for tax purposes in the same proportions as they share Profits or Losses, as the case may be, for the Fiscal Year.
 
  (c)   The Partners are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article V and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article V in reporting their shares of Partnership income and loss for income tax purposes.
 
  (d)   Solely for purposes of determining a Partner’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the interest of the Partners in Partnership Profits equals one hundred percent (100%), in proportion to their Percentage Interests.


 

 

  (e)   To the extent permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(h)(3), the Partners shall treat distributions of Net Proceeds of a Capital Transaction as not allocable to an increase in Partnership Minimum Gain to the extent the distribution does not cause or increase a deficit balance in the Adjusted Capital Account of any Partner.
5.4   Tax Allocations. Code Section  704(c) .
  (a)   In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value using the “traditional method” with curative allocations upon disposition.
 
  (b)   In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership property is adjusted pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder using the traditional method.
 
  (c)   Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner, in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

  (a)   Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including but not limited to any of the other sections of this Article IX), except as set forth in clause (x) of Section 9.1, in no event shall (i) any Transfer be made, recognized or consented to by the Partners or deemed effective unless such Transfer will not constitute or result in a material violation or default under any Financing Document or (ii) any direct or indirect interest in the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries be Transferred to a Person who is the subject of any pending bankruptcy proceedings, or to an individual Person who is a minor or who otherwise lacks legal capacity, and any attempt to effect a Transfer to such a Person shall be void and of no effect and shall not bind the Partnership or (iii) any direct or indirect interest in the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries be Transferred to a Person (A) named on any list of Persons and governments issued by OFAC pursuant to Executive Order 13224, as in effect on the date hereof, or any similar lists publicly issued by OFAC or any other department or agency of the United States of America (“OFAC Lists”), (B) included in, owned by, controlled by, knowingly acting for or on behalf of, knowingly providing assistance, support, sponsorship, or services of any kind to, or otherwise knowingly associated with any of the Persons referred to or described in the OFAC Lists, or (C) who has knowingly conducted business with or knowingly engaged in


 

 

      any transaction with any Person named on any of the OFAC Lists.

  (c)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Partner shall be an entity organized under the laws of the United States.
 
  (d)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including but not limited to the other sections of this Article IX), no Transfer of all or any portion of any Partner’s Interest shall be binding upon the other Partners or the Partnership, and the Partnership shall be entitled to treat the record owner of any Interest as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, unless and until (i) true copies of the instruments of transfer executed and delivered pursuant to or in connection with such Transfer shall have been delivered to the General Partner, (ii) the transferee shall have delivered to the General Partner an executed and acknowledged assumption agreement pursuant to which the transferee assumes all the obligations of the transferor arising and accruing from and after the date of such Transfer under, and agrees to be bound by all the provisions of, this Agreement, (iii) the transferee shall have executed, acknowledged and delivered any instruments required under any applicable laws to effect such Transfer and, if applicable, its admission to the Partnership, and (iv) the transferee shall have executed and delivered such other instruments, documents and agreements reasonably required by the General Partner in connection with such Transfer which are consistent with the other terms hereof including, without limitation, a favorable opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to General Partner that such Transfer shall not constitute a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or of any law or statute of any state and shall have no materially adverse federal income tax impact on the Partnership. Upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.3(d) any Person who acquires an Interest in a transaction permitted by this Article IX shall, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, be admitted as a Partner. Except as otherwise set forth herein, upon the execution and delivery of such assumption agreement, the transferor shall have no further obligation hereunder after the date of the Transfer except that the transferor shall remain primarily liable for all accrued obligations (as of the date of Transfer) of the transferor under this Agreement, notwithstanding any Transfer pursuant to this Article IX.
 
  (e)   Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with any Transfer of an Interest and, if applicable, the admission of a Person as a Partner hereunder, shall be paid by the transferor.

9.4   Buy Sell Rights.
  (a)   Either Cedar LP and Cedar GP acting collectively, on the one hand, and RioCan, on the other hand (“Buy Sell Offeror”), shall have the right from time to time to effect the provisions of


 

 

      this Section 9.4 at any time during the Buy Sell Exercise Period by delivering written notice (the “Buy Sell Notice”) to RioCan or the Cedar Partners, respectively (“Buy Sell Offeree”) (A) of its or their intention to effect the provisions of this Section 9.4(a), (B) designating its or their determination (which shall be made in its or their sole discretion) of the fair market value of all Partnership Assets (the “Partnership Asset Price”), and (C) designating its estimate of the Buy Sell Applicable Purchase Price with respect to each Partner’s Interest calculated as if the closing were to occur on the date of the Buy Sell Notice. For the purposes hereof, the “Buy Sell Applicable Purchase Price” payable to any Partner that sells its Interest pursuant to this Section 9.4 shall be the amount (as adjusted as provided below) that such selling Partner would receive as of the applicable calculation date if the Partnership Assets were sold at the Partnership Asset Price and the Partnership and its Subsidiaries were liquidated in accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.2(c) (without giving effect to clause (ii) thereof, and assuming no prepayment premiums, penalties or similar charges shall be due in connection with the repayment of all Financings in connection with such sale). Any disputes as to the Buy Sell Applicable Purchase Price shall be resolved by the Accountant and such determination shall be binding on the Partners. The Partners agree to promptly provide the Accountant with all information necessary to resolve such dispute and shall instruct the Accountant to resolve such dispute as expeditiously as possible.
 
  (b)   Upon receipt of the Buy Sell Notice given pursuant to Section 9.4(a) hereof, Buy Sell Offeree shall then be obligated either to:
  (i)   purchase the Interests of Buy Sell Offeror for cash at a price equal to the Buy Sell Applicable Purchase Price; or
 
  (ii)   sell its Interests to Buy Sell Offeror for cash at a price equal to the Buy Sell Applicable Purchase Price (the Interests being sold pursuant to this Section 9.4 are hereinafter referred to as the “Buy Sell Interests”).
      Buy Sell Offeree shall give written notice of its election to Buy Sell Offeror within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Buy Sell Notice (the date of election being the “Buy Sell Election Date”). Failure of Buy Sell Offeree to give Buy Sell Offeror notice within such time shall be a conclusive election under subsection (b)(ii) above.
 
  (c)   Within ten (10) Business Days after Buy Sell Offeree’s election or deemed election under subsection 9.4(b), the Partner(s) purchasing the Buy Sell Interests (the “Purchasing Partner”) shall deposit with the Escrow Agent in cash an amount equal to the greater of (I) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and (II) an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Buy Sell Applicable Purchase Price (“Buy Sell Deposit”). If the Purchasing Partner shall fail to deposit the Buy Sell Deposit within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Purchasing Partner shall be in default hereunder, the other Partner(s) (the “Selling Partner”) shall have all remedies available at law or in equity, and the Selling Partner shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Purchasing Partner within ten (10) days of the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period, to purchase (pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.4) the Interests of the Purchasing Partner for cash at a price equal to ninety percent (90%) of the Buy Sell Applicable Purchase Price and on a date which is not less than thirty (30) days and not more than one hundred twenty (120) days from the Buy Sell Election Date (as selected by the (former) Selling Partner upon not less than ten (10) days notice to the (former) Purchasing Partner). If the Selling Partner does not elect to purchase the Interests of the Purchasing Partner, the rights of the Partners under this Section 9.4 shall be as they were prior to the delivery of the applicable Buy Sell Notice, except that the Purchasing Partner shall lose its right to initiate the buy sell procedures pursuant to this Section 9.4 for a period of eighteen (18) months following the date of the Buy Sell Notice. The charges of the Escrow Agent shall be paid by the Partnership. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Buy Sell Deposit in an interest bearing account pursuant to a written agreement among the Selling Partner, the Purchasing Partner and the Escrow Agent, which agreement shall be satisfactory to such parties in the exercise of their respective reasonable discretion and shall provide, among other things, that the Escrow Agent shall not commingle the Buy Sell Deposit with any other funds. In the event of a closing pursuant to the terms of this subsection 9.4(c), the Buy Sell Deposit,


 

 

      together with any interest earned thereon, shall be credited against the Buy Sell Applicable Purchase Price and paid to the Selling Partner. In the event of a default by the Purchasing Partner in its obligation to purchase the Buy Sell Interests pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this subsection 9.4(c) (other than the failure of the Purchasing Partner to make the Buy Sell Deposit as aforesaid), the Buy Sell Deposit, and any interest thereon, shall be paid to the Selling Partner by the Escrow Agent promptly following written request therefor as the Selling Partner’s sole and exclusive remedy, except that the Selling Partner shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Purchasing Partner within thirty (30) days of the Partnership’s receipt of the Buy Sell Deposit, to purchase (pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.4) the Interests of the Purchasing Partner for cash at a price equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Buy Sell Applicable Purchase Price. If the Selling Partner does not elect to purchase the Interests of the Purchasing Partner, the rights of the Partners under this Section 9.4 shall be as they were prior to the delivery of the applicable Buy Sell Notice, except that the Purchasing Partner shall lose its right to initiate the buy sell procedures pursuant to this Section 9.4 for a period of eighteen (18) months following the date of the Buy Sell Notice. If the Selling Partner shall default in any of its obligations under this subsection 9.4(c), the Buy Sell Deposit, and any interest earned thereon, shall be returned to the Purchasing Partner promptly following written request therefor, the Purchasing Partner shall have all other remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, an action for specific performance), and the Selling Partner shall lose its right to initiate the buy sell procedures pursuant to this Section 9.4 for a period of eighteen (18) months following the date of the Buy Sell Notice. Upon deposit by the Purchasing Partner of the Buy Sell Deposit with the Escrow Agent as aforesaid, (i) a binding contract shall be deemed to exist between the Selling Partner and the Purchasing Partner with respect to the Buy Sell Interests, and (ii) the closing shall be held pursuant to an escrow arrangement acceptable to the Partners in the exercise of their reasonable judgment on a Business Day selected by the Purchasing Partner not less than thirty (30) days and not more than one hundred twenty (120) days from the Buy Sell Election Date. The Purchasing Partner shall pay the Buy Sell Applicable Purchase Price (less the Buy Sell Deposit and any interest earned thereon and as adjusted as provided herein) by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated in writing by the Selling Partner. At the closing, (A) the Selling Partner shall deliver to Purchasing Partner an assignment of all of the Buy Sell Interests, which such assignment shall be free and clear of all legal and equitable claims (other than the legal and equitable claims, if any, of the Purchasing Partner pursuant to this Agreement) and all liens and encumbrances (other than liens and encumbrances under this Agreement and Financing Documents that shall remain in full force and effect following the closing), and (B) the Purchasing Partner shall deliver to the Selling Partner an assumption of the Selling Partner’s obligations under this Agreement arising from and after the date of such assignment.
 
  (d)   At the closing, (A) all expenses of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries due in connection with a Transfer of the Buy Sell Interests pursuant to Section 9.4(c), including, without limitation, any transfer, controlling interest or other tax, and any prepayment premium or lender transfer fees which are actually due and payable in connection with such Transfer, shall be paid by the Purchasing Partner, (B) the Accountant shall close the books of the Partnership and each of its Subsidiaries as of the closing date, and all items of the Partnership’s and each of its Subsidiary’s income and expense shall be apportioned in calculating Net Cash Flow (and such other items that are customarily apportioned between sellers and purchasers of real properties shall be apportioned) as of 11:59 p.m. of the day preceding the closing date, (C) Net Cash Flow earned through the closing date and Net Proceeds of a Capital Transaction received prior to the closing date shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Article IV, which provisions shall survive the closing pursuant hereto for purposes of making or correcting any closing adjustments, (D) the Buy Sell Applicable Purchase Price (calculated as of the closing date) shall be (x) increased by the aggregate amount of all additional Capital Contributions made by the Selling Partner in the period between the date of the Buy Sell Notice and the closing date (excluding additional Capital Contributions made for payment of ordinary operating expenses), (y) decreased by any amounts of Net Proceeds of a Capital Transaction received by the Partnership with respect to the sale or disposition of any portion of the Portfolio Investments during the period between the date of the Buy Sell Notice and the closing date and distributed to the Selling Partner pursuant to the terms hereof, and (z) adjusted to account for, and fully repay, all outstanding Default Loans (and any accrued and


 

 

      unpaid interest thereon), (E) the Partners shall execute all amendments to fictitious name, partnership or similar certificates necessary to effect the withdrawal of the Selling Partner from the Partnership and, if applicable, the termination of the Partnership, and (F) the Purchasing Partner shall use diligent efforts to secure the release from all lenders (without releasing any claim the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries may have against the applicable guarantor) of outstanding guaranties in connection with any Financings executed by the Selling Partner or its Affiliates; provided that an entity reasonably acceptable to the Selling Partner shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and content reasonably acceptable to the Selling Partner, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Selling Partner and its Affiliates, as the case may be, for any claims that arise under such outstanding guaranties for events occurring after the close of the sale of the Selling Partner’s Interest if the Purchasing Partner is not able to procure any such release.
 
  (e)   The Partners shall cooperate with each other to effectuate a transfer of the Buy Sell Interests in a manner that will minimize taxes (including, without limitation, transfer taxes) and, if applicable, loan assumption fees; including, without limitation, structuring any such transfer as an entity transfer of the applicable Subsidiaries of the Partnership.
 
  (f)   At the closing, the Selling Partner and the Purchasing Partner shall execute an agreement acceptable to the Selling Partner and the Purchasing Partner in the exercise of their reasonable judgment whereby (X) each shall represent and warrant to the other that each is duly organized, validly existing, has the necessary corporate power and authority to consummate the subject transactions and requires no consents which have not been obtained and (Y) the Selling Partner shall represent to the Purchasing Partner that the Selling Partner is the owner of the Buy Sell Interests free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than liens and encumbrances under this Agreement and Financing Documents that shall remain in full force and effect following the closing) and that the Transfer is being made free and clear of all legal and equitable claims (other than the legal and equitable claims of the Purchasing Partner pursuant to this Agreement).
 
  (g)   The Purchasing Partner may, at its option, cause the Buy Sell Interests to be acquired by one or more of Purchasing Partner’s designees; provided that any such assignment of the Purchasing Partner’s rights hereunder for purposes of accomplishing such purchase by any such designee shall not relieve the Purchasing Partner of any obligation or liability with respect thereto.
 
  (h)   Each Partner agrees that it shall be reasonable and cooperate with the other Partners, including, without limitation, executing any documents which may be reasonably required, in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Section 9.4.
 
  (i)   For purposes of the terms of this Section 9.4, Cedar LP and Cedar GP shall be deemed to be one Partner and shall act collectively except solely to the extent that the interests of each are to be transferred to different purchasers.
 
  (j)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event any rights under Section 9.5 shall be exercised prior in time to the exercise of any rights under this Section 9.4, the rights under Section 9.5 shall supersede any other right existing pursuant to this Section 9.4 (and no Partner shall be entitled to exercise any right hereunder until such time as the procedure under Section 9.5 has been terminated or consummated).
9.5   Right of First Refusal.
  (a)   Anything contained in Section 9.1 of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if, during the Buy Sell Exercise Period, either Cedar LP and Cedar GP acting collectively, on the one hand, or RioCan, on the other hand (the “ROFR Offeror”) desires to sell its or their entire Interest(s) (the “ROFR Interest”) to a third party pursuant to a ROFR Third Party Offer (any such sale being hereinafter referred to as a “ROFR Sale”), the ROFR Offeror shall give prompt written notice (the “ROFR Offer Notice”) to RioCan or the Cedar Partners, respectively (the “ROFR Offeree”) following the ROFR Offeror’s receipt of any ROFR Third Party Offer. The ROFR Offer Notice shall include a true and complete copy of the


 

 

      ROFR Third Party Offer. The ROFR Offer Notice shall disclose the identity of such third party, including the principals thereof, and evidence that such third party possesses the financial means to close the contemplated transaction as required under Section 9.5(c) hereof. The ROFR Offer Notice shall be deemed an offer by the ROFR Offeror to sell the ROFR Interest to the ROFR Offeree or the ROFR Offeree’s designee on the terms and conditions and for the purchase price set forth in the ROFR Third Party Offer, as modified by this Section 9.5.
 
  (b)   The ROFR Offeree shall, within six (6) months after its receipt of the ROFR Offer Notice, give written notice (a “ROFR Response Notice”) to the ROFR Offeror electing to invoke one of the two options described in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) below. If the ROFR Offeree shall fail to send a ROFR Response Notice within such six (6) month period, or shall fail in the ROFR Response Notice to elect one of the two options described in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) below, the ROFR Offeree shall be deemed to have elected to invoke the option described in subparagraph (ii) below.
  (i)   The ROFR Offeree may elect in the ROFR Response Notice to purchase the ROFR Interest. In such event, (A) the economic terms and conditions of the ROFR Third Party Offer shall govern such purchase (including, without limitation, the purchase price, apportionments, and payment of transfer taxes and other closing costs, but excluding remedies upon default) and (B) the non-economic provisions of Section 9.4(c) through (i) of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the timing of closing, deliveries, required consents and remedies upon default) shall govern such purchase, mutatis mutandis, as if the same were an election to purchase a Partner’s Interest pursuant to Section 9.4, provided that: (1) the ROFR Offeree shall be the “Purchasing Partner”, (2) the ROFR Offeror shall be the “Selling Partner”, (3) the ROFR Interest shall be the “Buy Sell Interests”, (4) the purchase price set forth in the ROFR Third Party Offer shall be the “Buy Sell Applicable Purchase Price”, (5) the closing of such purchase shall occur on the first Business Day that is at least sixty (60) days following the ROFR Offeror’s receipt of the ROFR Response Notice (subject to adjournment for not more than sixty (60) days in the aggregate to obtain all required third party consents to such purchase, including, without limitation, the consent of each lender under a Financing), and (6) in no event shall such purchase be conditioned upon the repayment of any Financing or the satisfaction or release of any Financing Document.
 
  (ii)   The ROFR Offeree may elect not to purchase the ROFR Interest pursuant to subparagraph (i) above. In such event, the ROFR Offeror shall be permitted to sell the ROFR Interest to the third party identified in the ROFR Offer Notice in accordance with the terms of the ROFR Third Party Offer, in all but de minimis respects, including, without limitation, the closing date set forth therein. If the ROFR Sale does not occur on such terms on or prior to the closing date set forth in the ROFR Third Party Offer, the ROFR Interest shall again become subject to the right of first refusal provisions of this Section 9.5.
  (c)   For purposes of this provision, a “ROFR Third Party Offer” shall mean an offer by a bona fide third party not affiliated with the ROFR Offeror and having the financial means to close the underlying acquisition to purchase the ROFR Interest, as evidenced by an executed and binding purchase agreement or letter of intent that (i) contains the material terms and conditions of such offer, (ii) is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (iii) provides that (A) the purchase price shall be payable only in the form of cash, (B) the ROFR Interest shall be delivered free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than any Financings, and no other property or assets shall be included in such ROFR Sale, and (C) the closing shall be a particular date that is not later than ninety (90) days after the date on which the ROFR Response Notice is given, and (iv) is accompanied by a deposit in the form of a certified check in the amount of at least five percent (5%) of the total purchase price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the Cedar Partners shall not be permitted, without RioCan’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion), to consummate a ROFR Sale with any third party that is not (or is not wholly owned by) a Person that is regularly engaged in the business of owning, managing or operating


 

 

      commercial real estate properties, (2) RioCan shall not be permitted, without the prior written consent of the Cedar Partners (which may be withheld in their sole and absolute discretion) to consummate a ROFR Sale with any third party that is not an Institutional Investor, (3) no Partner shall be permitted, without the prior written consent of the other Partners (which may be withheld in their sole and absolute discretion) to consummate a ROFR Sale with any third party that is (or is an Affiliate of) the owner of any retail space that, if directly acquired by any Partner, would violate the provisions of Section 7.2 of this Agreement, and (4) each ROFR Sale shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.3 hereof.
 
  (d)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event any rights under Section 9.4 shall be exercised prior in time to the exercise of any rights under this Section 9.5, the rights under Section 9.4 shall supersede any other right existing pursuant to this Section 9.5 (and no Partner shall be entitled to exercise any right hereunder until such time as the procedure under Section 9.4 has been terminated or consummated).
9.6   Bankruptcy or Withdrawal of a Partner.
          Upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event or any other occurrence with respect to a Partner of any event which under the Delaware Act causes the Partner to cease to be a partner of a limited partnership (a “Withdrawal Event”), the Partner affected by such Withdrawal Event shall, unless the other Partners shall otherwise consent within ninety (90) days of such Withdrawal Event, be deemed to have withdrawn as a Partner on the expiration of such ninety (90) day period. In the event that a Partner is deemed to have withdrawn from the Partnership pursuant to this Section 9.6, then such Partner (a “Withdrawn Partner”) shall continue to have the rights of an assignee of its Interest which was not admitted as a Partner and shall not be entitled to participate in the management of the Partnership or to vote, approve or consent to any matter for which the vote, approval or consent of any Partners is required. Unless the Partners (other than the Withdrawn Partner) otherwise agree, the Partnership shall not terminate or dissolve upon the occurrence of a Withdrawal Event, provided (to the extent required by any Financing Document) that in the event that the Partnership has two or more General Partners at least one of which is solvent, the Partners shall not agree to terminate or dissolve the Partnership upon the occurrence of a Withdrawal Event. No Partner shall withdraw or retire from the Partnership without the prior written consent of all of the other Partners, except in connection with a Transfer of its entire Interest as expressly permitted under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Partner hereby waives any and all rights such Partner may have to withdraw and/or resign from the Partnership pursuant to Sections 17-602 and 17-603 of the Delaware Act and hereby waives any and all rights such Partner may have to receive the fair value of such Partner’s Interest upon such resignation and/or withdrawal pursuant to Section 17-604 of the Delaware Act, and such Partner shall continue to hold its Interest in accordance with the provisions hereof.
9.7   Death or Incompetency of an Individual Partner.
          Upon the death or legal incompetency of an individual Limited Partner (including a substituted Limited Partner), his or her legally authorized personal representatives shall have all of the rights of a Limited Partner for the purpose of settling or managing his or her estate, and shall have such power as the decedent, incompetent, bankrupt or insolvent individual Limited Partner possessed hereunder to make an assignment of his or her interest in the Partnership in accordance with the terms hereof. No such representative shall be admitted as a Limited Partner in the Partnership except in compliance with the provisions of this Article IX.
9.8   General Partner’s Withdrawal Rights.
          If at any time the Partnership shall have more than one General Partner, a General Partner may withdraw as a General Partner of the Partnership upon obtaining the written consent of all of the other Partners. From and after the effective date of any such withdrawal, the withdrawing General Partner shall automatically cease to serve as the General Partner of the Partnership and such General Partner’s Interest shall be deemed to be converted to a limited partnership interest in the Partnership and all references in this Agreement to the “General Partner” shall be deemed to be references to the remaining General Partner only. Except as provided in Article IX, the General Partner may not voluntarily withdraw from the Partnership or dissolve or liquidate.
9.9   Intentionally Omitted.


 

 

9.10   Removal of General Partner.
  (a)   Generally . The General Partner may be removed upon at least seven (7) days’ prior written notice given by a Limited Partner to the General Partner if a Cause Event has occurred, at which time the applicable General Partner shall automatically cease to serve as the General Partner of the Partnership, such General Partner’s Interest shall be deemed to be converted to a limited partnership interest in the Partnership and all references in this Agreement to the “General Partner” shall be deemed to be references to the remaining General Partner as provided in Section 9.8 or the replacement General Partner elected pursuant to Section 9.10(a).
 
  (b)   Election of a Replacement General Partner . If the General Partner shall be removed or has withdrawn (or is deemed to have withdrawn), a successor General Partner shall be admitted as a General Partner if the following terms and conditions are satisfied;
  (i)   the admission of such Person shall have been consented to by the Limited Partner that is not an affiliate of the former General Partner;
 
  (ii)   the Person shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart hereof and such other documents or instruments as may be required or appropriate in order to effect the admission of such Person as a General Partner as of the effective date of the removal or withdrawal of the former General Partner and the newly admitted General Partner is authorized to and shall continue the business of the Partnership without dissolution;
 
  (iii)   a certificate evidencing the admission of such Person as a General Partner shall have been filed as provided in the Delaware Act; and
 
  (iv)   if Cedar GP is the General Partner that has been removed or withdrawn, the replacement General Partner must be a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of RioCan or RioCan REIT.
  (c)   Suspension of Capital Calls . In the event that the General Partner is removed as general partner of the Partnership, the obligation of the Partners to make Capital Contributions to the Partnership shall be suspended until such time as a new general partner has been approved by the Limited Partner that is not an affiliate of the former General Partner, and such new general partner is admitted as the General Partner in accordance with Section 9.10(b).
ARTICLE X

  (a)   The term “Liquidating Partner” shall mean (i) the General Partner in the case of a termination of the Partnership pursuant to clause (a) of Section 10.1 hereof, (ii) Cedar GP in the case of a termination of the Partnership pursuant to clause (e) of Section 10.1 hereof if RioCan shall be the Partner causing the termination event pursuant to said clause, (iii) Cedar LP in the case of a termination of the Partnership pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of Section 10.1 hereof if the General Partner was RioCan or an Affiliate of RioCan, (iv) RioCan in the case of a termination of the Partnership pursuant to clause (e) of Section 10.1 hereof if Cedar LP or Cedar GP shall be the Partner causing the termination event pursuant to said clause, (v) RioCan in the case of a termination of the Partnership pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of Section 10.1 hereof if the General Partner was Cedar GP, and (vi) the last remaining Partner (or its personal representative or nominee) in the case of a termination of the Partnership pursuant to clause (d) of Section 10.1 hereof.
 
  (b)   Without limiting the foregoing, the Liquidating Partner shall, upon the dissolution and upon completion of the winding up of the affairs of the Partnership, file appropriate certificate(s) to such effect in the proper governmental office or offices under the Delaware Act as then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Partner, upon the request of the Liquidating Partner, shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such documents, certificates and other instruments as the Liquidating Partner shall reasonably request to effectuate the proper dissolution and termination of the Partnership, including the winding up of the business of the Partnership.
10.4   Partnership Assets Reserved and Pending Claims.
  (a)   Assets Reserved . If, upon a Dissolution Event, there are any Partnership Assets that, in the judgment of the Liquidating Partner, cannot be sold without sacrificing a significant portion of the value thereof or where such sale is otherwise impractical at the time of the Dissolution Event, such Partnership Assets may be retained by the Partnership if the Liquidating Partner determines that the retention of such Partnership Assets is in the best interests of the Partners and such Partnership Assets shall not be considered for purposes of computing Capital Accounts upon winding-up and amounts distributable pursuant to Section 10.2(c). Upon the sale of such Partnership Assets or a determination by the Liquidating Partner that circumstances no longer require their retention (but in no event more than (2) two years after the Dissolution Event), such Partnership Assets (at their Fair Market Value, as determined in good faith by the Liquidating Partner) or the proceeds of their sale shall be taken into account in computing Capital Accounts on winding-up and amounts distributable pursuant to Section 10.2(c) and distributed in accordance with such value.
 
  (b)   Pending Claims . If there are any claims or potential claims (including potential Partnership expenses in connection therewith) against the Partnership (either directly or indirectly, including potential claims for which the Partnership might have an indemnification obligation) for which the possible loss cannot, in the judgment of the Liquidating Partner, be reasonably ascertained, then such claims shall initially be taken into account in computing Capital Accounts upon winding-up and distributions pursuant to Section 10.2(c) at an amount estimated by the Liquidating Partner to be sufficient to cover any potential loss or liability on account of such claims (including such potential Partnership expenses), and the Partnership shall retain funds (or assets) determined by the Liquidating Partner acting reasonably as a reserve against such potential losses and liabilities, including expenses associated therewith. The Liquidating Partner may in its reasonable discretion obtain insurance or create escrow accounts or make other similar arrangements with respect to such losses and liabilities. Upon final settlement of such claims (including such potential Partnership expenses) or a determination by the Liquidating Partner that the probable loss therefrom can be definitively ascertained, such claims (including such potential Partnership expenses) shall be taken into account in the amount at which they were settled or in the amount of the probable loss therefrom in computing Capital Accounts on winding-up and amounts distributable pursuant to Section 10.2(c).
10.5   No Redemption.
          The Partnership may not acquire, by purchase, redemption or otherwise any Interest of any Partner.


 

 

10.6   Governance.
Notwithstanding a dissolution of the Partnership, until the termination of the business of the Partnership, the affairs of the Partners, as such, shall continue to be governed by this Agreement. The Liquidating Partner shall be subject to the same restrictions on transactions with related parties or involving conflicts of interest as applied prior to the dissolution of the Partnership, including but not limited to the consent requirements set forth herein of any such transaction. The Liquidating Partner shall also be required to perform its duties under this Agreement using the same standard of care that would be required of the Liquidating Partner if the Liquidating Partner were acting as the General Partner.
10.7   Return of Capital.
          No Partner shall have any right to receive the return of its Capital Contribution or to seek or obtain partition of assets of the Partnership, other than as expressly provided in this Agreement.

INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
ARTICLE XII
CONFIDENTIALITY
12.1   Disclosure.
          Notwithstanding any terms or conditions in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to restrictions reasonably necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, any person may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For the avoidance of doubt, this authorization is not intended to permit disclosure of the names of, or other identifying information regarding, the participants in the transaction, or of any information or the portion of any materials not relevant to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction.
12.2   Confidentiality.
  (a)   Confidentiality . Each of the Partners shall, and shall direct those of its directors, officers, partners, members, employees, attorneys, accountants, consultants, trustees, Affiliates and advisors (the “Representatives”) who have access to Confidential Information to, keep confidential and not disclose any Confidential Information without the express consent, in the case of Confidential Information acquired from the Partnership or with respect to the Partnership (or from, or with respect to, any Subsidiary of the Partnership or any Portfolio Investment) or, in the case of Confidential Information acquired from the other Partners or their Representatives, such other Person, unless:
  (i)   such disclosure shall be required by applicable law, governmental rule or regulation, court order, administrative or arbitral proceeding or by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Person required to make such disclosure;
 
  (ii)   such disclosure of Confidential Information relating to the Partnership or any any of its Subsidiaries or any Portfolio Investment is reasonably required in connection with any proposed assignment, sale or other disposition of all or any part of an Interest in the Partnership (e.g., to an Institutional Investor pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.5) (a “Proposed Transfer”); provided, that with respect to the use of any Confidential Information in any Proposed Transfer referred to in this clause (ii), reasonable advance notice shall be given to the Person whose information will be disclosed so that it may require any proposed transferee to enter into a confidentiality agreement with terms substantially similar to the terms of this Section 12.2(a) prior to the disclosure of such Confidential Information.
  (b)   Confidential Information . “Confidential Information” shall mean any confidential, non- public information related to the activities, as applicable, of the (i) Partnership, the General


 

 

      Partner, any Subsidiary of the Partnership and the respective Affiliates of each of the foregoing, (ii) any Partner and/or its Affiliates or (iii) any Portfolio Investment, provided, however, that the parties acknowledge that this Agreement and the Purchase and Sale Agreement may be included in an SEC filing and a filing required by the Ontario Securities Commission and shall not be Confidential Information.
 
  (c)   Disclosure of Confidential Information . In the event that any Person bound by the terms of this Section 12.2 or any Representative of such Person is required to disclose any Confidential Information, such Person will provide the applicable Partner with prompt written notice so that such Person, as applicable, may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, and such Person required to disclose the Confidential Information will use reasonable efforts (but without expense to such Partner) to cooperate with the Person whose information is required to be disclosed, as applicable, in any effort any such Person undertakes to obtain a protective order or other similar remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the disclosing Partner and its Representatives will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is required and will exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reasonably reliable assurance that the Confidential Information will be accorded confidential treatment.
 
  (d)   Limited Partner Disclosure Restrictions . Except as otherwise required by applicable law, each of the Partners agrees that it will not, and it will cause its Affiliates, the Partnership, the Partnership’s Subsidiaries and their respective other Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of the other Partners, (i) use in advertising, publicity, or otherwise the name of such other Partners or their Affiliates, or (ii) represent, directly or indirectly, that any product or any service provided by any of the foregoing has been approved or endorsed by such other Partners or their Affiliates. This provision shall survive termination of the Partnership.
12.3   Additional Information/Deliveries.
          In addition to any reports required by the express terms of this Agreement, the General Partner will provide to each Limited Partner any additional information and reports regarding the operations of the Partnership and any Portfolio Investment or Subsidiary as such Limited Partner may reasonably request including, without limitation, such additional reports and deliveries set forth on Schedule 7.4 attached hereto. In addition, the General Partner agrees to work with each Limited Partner and its shareholders, employees, agents and/or authorized consultants to provide on a periodic basis, to the extent not already provided to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, and upon the written request of such Limited Partner, data regarding the performance of the Partnership and any Portfolio Investment or Subsidiary, the valuation of the Partnership Assets and total returns, including time-weighted returns, of such Limited Partner’s investment in the Partnership. The General Partner further agrees that, at the request of any Limited Partner, upon reasonable prior written notice and during reasonable business hours, it will meet with such Limited Partner and any of its shareholders, its employees, agents and/or authorized consultants at the offices of the Partnership to review the Partnership’s performance and the valuation of the Partnership Assets. Upon the reasonable request of any Limited Partner, the General Partner shall provide to such Limited Partner, without representing or warranting to such Limited Partner the accuracy thereof, good faith calculations of anticipated investment returns determined on a nominal basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Limited Partner shall request additional information or materials that are not readily available to the General Partner (or a Property Manager that is the General Partner’s Affiliate), or the preparation of additional reports not customarily prepared by the General Partner (or a Property Manager that is the General Partner’s Affiliate), the reasonable cost and expense of providing such information, materials and reports shall be paid by such Limited Partner promptly following demand. The provisions of this Section 12.3 shall only apply to supplemental or additional information, materials and reports requested by a Limited Partner, and not to the specific information, materials and reports expressly required to be provided under this Agreement.
ARTICLE XIII
POWER OF ATTORNEY
          Each of the Limited Partners hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the General Partner, or any successor General Partner, its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with the power and authority to act in such Limited Partner’s name and on his behalf in his place and stead, upon five (5) Business Days notice to such Limited Partner, to make, execute, acknowledge, file and record the following documents:


 

 

  (a)   Amendments to this Agreement as required by the laws of the State of Delaware, or by any other state, including amendments required for the admission or substitution of a Limited Partner, the admission or substitution of a General Partner, and the continuation of the business of the Partnership after the withdrawal or removal of a General Partner;
 
  (b)   Any cancellation of this Agreement as required by the laws of the State of Delaware upon dissolution or termination of the Partnership;
 
  (c)   Amendments to the Certificate as required under the laws of the State of Delaware, or the laws of any other state in which such Certificate (and amendments) are required to be filed or recorded;
 
  (d)   All such other instruments, documents and certificates which may from time to time be required by the laws of the State of Delaware, the United States of America or any other jurisdiction which the Partnership shall determine to do business in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or any other political subdivision or agency thereof, to effectuate, implement, continue and defend the validity and existence of the Partnership; and
 
  (e)   Any business certificate, fictitious name certificate, certificate of limited partnership, amendment thereto or other instrument or document of any kind necessary to accomplish the business, purposes and objectives of the Partnership.
          The power of attorney hereby granted to the General Partner is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest, is irrevocable, and shall survive the death of any Limited Partners that are individuals. This power of attorney may be exercised by the General Partner for each Limited Partner by listing all of the Limited Partners executing any instrument with a signature of the General Partner acting as attorney-in-fact for all of them. In addition, this power of attorney shall survive the delivery of an assignment by a Limited Partner of the whole or any portion of its Interest; except that where the transferee of a Limited Partner has been approved by the General Partner for admission to the Partnership as a substitute Limited Partner, the power of attorney shall survive the delivery of such assignment for the sole purpose of enabling the General Partner to execute, acknowledge, and file any instrument necessary to effect such substitution.

15.10   Consents.

15.11   Entire Agreement.
          This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and all prior agreements relative hereto which are not contained herein are terminated. Amendments, variations, modifications or changes herein may be made effective and binding upon the parties by, and only by, the setting forth of same in a document duly executed by each party, and any alleged amendment, variation, modification or change herein which is not so documented shall not be effective as to any party. Each of the parties agrees that in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Governing Agreements, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
15.12   Consent to Jurisdiction.
          Any action, suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement may be brought against any Partner or the Partnership in a court of record of the State of New York, County of New York, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, each Partner and the Partnership hereby consenting and submitting to the jurisdiction thereof. Service of process may be made upon any Partner or the Partnership, by certified or registered mail, at the address to be used for the giving of notice to such Partner under Section 15.9. Each Partner hereby appoints Corporation Service Company, 80 State Street, Albany, New York 12207 as its agent for service of process, with any fees therefore to be borne by the Partnership. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Partner to commence legal proceedings or otherwise to proceed against any other Partner or the Partnership in any other jurisdiction or to serve process in any manner permitted by applicable law. In any action, suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement, each Partner and the Partnership hereby waives trial by jury, and any claim that New York County or the Southern District of New York is an inconvenient forum.

EXHIBIT D
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
[                      ]
     THIS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of [                      ]       , 20       by and among [                      ], a [                       ] (“Owner”), CEDAR SHOPPING CENTERS PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Agent”) and RIOCAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, an Ontario trust (“RioCan REIT”).
BACKGROUND
     A. Owner owns or ground leases certain land and improvements known as [                      ], located in [                      ] (the “Property”).
     B. Owner desires to retain Agent as its exclusive agent for the purposes of leasing and managing the Property on behalf of Owner, and Agent is willing to act as agent for Owner with respect to the Property, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement as more fully set forth herein.
     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and covenants herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Owner, Agent and RioCan REIT agree as follows:
     1.  Retainer : Owner hereby retains Agent to manage and lease, as the exclusive broker, the

 


 

Property upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth for an initial term of three (3) years from the date hereof unless otherwise extended, renewed or terminated as hereinafter set forth. This Agreement is not one of agency between the Agent for Owner but one with the Agent engaged independently in the business of managing the Property as an independent contractor. All employment arrangements are therefore solely Agent’s concern, and Owner shall have no liability with respect thereto. Nothing herein shall create an agency coupled with an interest. All records maintained by Agent with respect to the operation or maintenance of the Property shall, at all times, be and constitute the property of Owner and shall be surrendered to Owner in accordance with the terms hereof, without charge or expense.
     2.  Standard of Care : The Agent will exercise its powers and discharge its duties under this Agreement diligently, honestly, and in good faith. Without limitation, in making decisions and managing the Property, the Agent will exercise the standard of care that a prudent manager of similar properties would exercise in similar circumstances (the “Standard of Care”).
     3.  Duties : The Agent shall, at the Owner’s sole cost and expense, carry out and perform the following services in accordance with the Standard of Care, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the availability of funds to operate the Property:
     3.1 Use its best efforts to lease or cause brokers or other agents to lease on behalf of Owner all available space in the Property in accordance with the Approved Budget and Approved Leasing Plan (as such terms are hereinafter defined), provided that approval of the Owner shall be required for all leases which require approval pursuant to Section 6.3(a) of the Limited Partnership Agreement of [CR] L.P. (the “Partnership”), of even date, as amended from time to time (the “Partnership Agreement”). In connection with such efforts the Agent will conduct appropriate credit reviews of prospective tenants, and enter into negotiations and finalize leases with Tenants (as hereinafter defined) wishing to enter into, renew, extend, renegotiate or restructure their Leases (as hereinafter defined) or expand the leased premises;
     3.2 Diligently to collect rents, additional rents and all other sums due from Tenants when due and, where necessary or appropriate, and except as directed otherwise by Owner, take all such actions as Agent shall deem necessary or advisable to enforce all rights and remedies of Owner under the leases relating to the Property (the “Leases” ) or to protect the interest of Owner, including, without limitation, the preparation and delivery to tenants under the Leases (“Tenants”) of all “late payment”, default, and other appropriate notices, requests, bills, demands, and statements. Agent may retain counsel, collection agencies, and such other persons and firms as Agent shall deem appropriate or advisable to enforce, after notification to Owner, by legal action the rights and remedies of Owner against any Tenant in default in the performance of its obligations under a Lease. Agent shall promptly notify Owner of the progress of any such legal action;
     3.3 To pay from the operating funds of the Property or such other funds as are provided by Owner bills and expenses for the maintenance, repair and operation of the Property, (including all utilities and realty taxes), provided, however, that all expenditures in excess of (a) 115% of any line item of an Approved Budget; or (b) in excess of 110% of the total of an Approved Budget, shall require the prior approval of the Owner. The Agent shall dispute, settle or compromise claims for such expenses and charges where appropriate;
     3.4 Use commercially reasonable efforts, at Owner’s expense, to do or cause to be done all such things as are necessary to ensure material compliance by the Owner as landlord with all its covenants, duties, agreements, obligations, terms and conditions of the contracts and encumbrances affecting the Property, and all Leases and any ground lease (if applicable), including, without limitation, providing annual operating cost statements as required by the Leases (with copies to RioCan REIT if it so requests), in each case, to the extent the Agent shall have knowledge of the same;
     3.5 To establish and maintain such books of account, records, and other documentation pertaining to the operation and maintenance of the Property as are customarily maintained by managing agents of properties similar in location and size to that of the Property. The Agent shall notify RioCan REIT from time to time upon request of the location of such records. Financial records shall be maintained in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”) and in sufficient detail to facilitate adequate audit and review thereof. Agent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file all returns and other reports relating to the Property, other than income tax returns and any reports or returns that may be required of any foreign owner of U.S. real property (except as expressly set forth herein);
     3.6 Select all lawyers and such other professional advisors necessary or appropriate to be retained by the Agent to advise in connection with the management, operation, repair, maintenance, administration and

 


 

supervision of the Property and the costs of same shall at all times be subject to the Approved Budget or otherwise approved by the Owner, except as otherwise set out herein;
     3.7 To account for all advance deposits of Tenants;
     3.8 To take such steps as may be necessary to evaluate, and if appropriate appeal, any assessment for realty, and any other business taxes relating to the Property, and subject to the Approved Budget or approval of the Owner, ensure applications for rebates for vacant space (if any) are made;
     3.9 To refund to Tenants from escrow accounts, funds of the Property or funds provided by Owner, as appropriate, pro rated rents, rebates, allowances, advance deposit refunds, and such other amounts as are legally due Tenants;
     3.10 To consider and advise the Owner from time to time as to rules and regulations to be made by the Owner with respect to the Property or any additional rules and regulations required to be made under the Leases for the better or more efficient operation of the Property and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to be fulfilled by the Tenants;
     3.11 To collect from Tenants all insurance policies, Tenant insurance certificates, or other evidence of insurance required to be carried by Tenants;
     3.12 Unless otherwise instructed by Owner, to secure for and on behalf of and at the expense of Owner such insurance, including without limitation, employee dishonesty insurance, fire and extended coverage property insurance, public liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance, as may be deemed by Owner (or any mortgagees) to be necessary or appropriate, in amounts satisfactory to Owner and Agent and naming Owner and Agent as co-insureds and in form and substance satisfactory to Owner, Agent and any mortgagees; provided, however, that if Agent promptly notifies Owner of the insurance so secured on behalf of Owner, and promptly complies with Owner’s instructions regarding such insurance, Owner releases and holds Agent harmless of and from any claims, loss, damages and liability of any nature whatsoever based upon or in any way relating to Agent’s securing or failure to secure any insurance, or any decision made by Agent with respect to the amount or extent of coverage thereof or the company or companies issuing, brokering or negotiating such insurance, provided that the foregoing shall not affect Agent’s obligations under Section 19 hereof;
     3.13 To respond to complaints and inquiries by Tenants, prospective tenants and others, and to take such corrective actions as Agent deems appropriate;
     3.14 Use commercially reasonable efforts, at Owner’s expense, to ensure material compliance by the Owner with all restrictive covenants, easements, cost-sharing agreements with “shadow anchors” and other title agreements to the extent the Agent shall have knowledge of the same and to use commercially reasonable efforts to monitor compliance by the other party to such agreements of its material obligations under all such agreements;
     3.15 To contract on behalf of and at the expense of Owner for such supplies and services in reasonable quantities and at reasonable prices as may be appropriate with respect to the Property, and to supervise and administer such contracts, including, without limitation, contracts for utilities, mechanical maintenance (including preventative maintenance), window and facade maintenance and cleaning, metal maintenance, pest control, trash removal, janitorial and maintenance supplies, security, public relations, collection and credit reporting, legal and accounting services, computer services, architectural and engineering services, laundry services, and janitorial or cleaning services. In so contracting, Agent may contract with entities or persons affiliated with it, provided, however, that the rates and charges of the affiliated entity or person are generally competitive and consistent with rates and charges by non-affiliated entities and will obtain a minimum of two (2) competitive bids from non-affiliated contractors who the Agent is satisfied are able to perform such contracts and duties respecting any contract exceeding Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) annually. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent shall not enter into, amend or modify any contract of the type described in this Section 3.15 unless such contract (A) is either (x) contained within the then current Approved Budget or is otherwise approved by Owner or (y) terminable without termination fee, premium or penalty by Owner upon not more than thirty (30) days notice and (B) does not provide or allow for annual consideration payable thereunder in excess of $100,000;

 


 

     3.16 At the expense of Owner in accordance with the Approved Budget, to provide through Agent’s (or its affiliates’) employees or third party contractors, all work, labor and services necessary or appropriate to operate, maintain and repair the Property, which employees may include, but are not necessarily limited to, a building executive director or supervisor, building manager, leasing specialist or leasing agent, secretarial and clerical staff, maintenance personnel, porters, laborers, security staff and watchmen. All matters pertaining to the employment, contracting, supervision, compensation, promotion and discharge of such employees or contractors shall be the responsibility of Agent. None of such persons shall be employees of the Owner. All amounts payable to such parties, including without limitation, all salaries, benefits, wages, recruitment, termination, severance and all other employment related costs and expenses for those personnel retained in accordance with this subsection shall be reimbursed to Agent to the extent provided in the applicable line items of the Approved Budget or as otherwise approved by the Owner. The Agent shall be entitled to allocate personnel costs on a fair and equitable basis among the Property and the other properties of which the Agent is the property manager as reflected in an Approved Budget or as otherwise approved by the Owner;
     3.17 To supervise and coordinate the moving in and moving out of Tenants to accomplish efficient and time saving use of personnel and elevators and so that there will be a minimum of disturbance and inconvenience to the normal operation of the Property, and maintain appropriate public relations with Tenants and prospective tenants;
     3.18 To prepare and file and/or cause to be prepared and filed necessary forms for insurance, hospitalization, benefits, social security taxes, union dues and contributions and such other forms, documents and returns as may be required by any governmental authority, a collective bargaining agreement, or otherwise with respect to employees and contractors, if applicable, of Agent at the Property and comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating thereto in all material respects. The Agent will keep Owner fully advised in a timely manner of any circumstances known to Agent that could lead to a labour disruption;
     3.19 To prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed on behalf of Owner such applications for permits, and/or licenses as may be required for the operation of the Property;
     3.20 To prepare and, where appropriate, transmit payroll records, accounting reports, vacancy and occupancy reports, delinquency reports, cash flow reports, and disbursement ledgers. Agent may contract with others, including but not limited to entities or persons affiliated with it, or provide its own personnel for the performance of accounting, bookkeeping and computer services in connection with such preparation and transmittal, all without any additional charge to Owner;
     3.21 Unless otherwise directed by Owner, to institute and prosecute on behalf of Owner such legal actions or proceedings as the Agent deems appropriate; to collect sums due Owner; with Owner’s approval, to evict a Tenant, former Tenant or occupant of the Property; to regain possession of the Property or any part thereof; to contest any bill or charge asserted against or with respect to the Property; to defend any administrative or legal action brought against Agent and/or Owner with respect to the Property; with Owner’s approval, to commence litigation pertaining to any labor or employment related dispute; to administratively process or litigate any tax related issue or other issues relating to the Property; to appeal all such proceedings and lawsuits; and to settle or compromise any claims, lawsuits, judgments and proceedings relating to the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall obtain the consent of Owner prior to initiating, settling or adjusting any action, suit, arbitration, or litigation as and to the extent the same shall constitute a Partnership Decision (as defined in the Partnership Agreement);
     3.22 To maintain such bank or similar accounts on behalf of Owner as are necessary or appropriate in the operation of the Property, including such reserve, investment, security, escrow and other accounts and to deposit all amounts collected pursuant to Leases in such accounts (or as otherwise required by any applicable financing documents). Such funds are not to be commingled with the Agent’s other funds;
     3.23 To open and maintain accounts on behalf of Owner with such suppliers and vendors as are necessary or appropriate for the efficient operation of the Property;
     3.24 To join and participate on Owner’s behalf in such professional, trade or industry organizations and associations relating to shopping centers as is necessary or appropriate with respect to the operation of the Property;
     3.25 Use commercially reasonable efforts, at Owner’s expense, to ensure that the Owner is in

 


 

material compliance with all then current federal, state and municipal laws and regulations (including, without limitation, all laws and regulations relating to the environment or any health and safety matters), and/or any permits or authorizations granted thereunder and to notify Owner of any material violations of any laws, orders, rules, or determinations of any governmental authority or agency affecting the Property promptly after such violation or determination is known to Agent and, subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, to propose to Owner and implement at Owner’s expense remedies of any such violations.

     3.27 If from time to time, the Owner may elect to make physical changes to the Property, the Agent shall conduct to the best of its ability any negotiations with any Tenants which may be required in respect of business interruption, physical changes to premises or relocations (temporary or permanent) and shall consult with the Owner on a regular basis during such required negotiations as to what actions are most desirable.

For the purposes hereof, “Hard Construction Costs” means all actual construction costs incurred, including, without limitation, costs or materials, supplies, equipment, labour and services, but excluding all costs commonly referred to as “soft costs” including, without limitation, architectural, engineering and consultants fees and disbursements, insurance, permits and financing costs and expenses, interest, salaries and the Construction Fee. Construction Fees shall be due and payable monthly on the basis of receipts for Hard Construction Costs incurred for the prior month (or portion thereof). Except as expressly provided above, no Construction Fee shall be payable by Owner in connection with Tenant performed construction; provided, however, Agent shall be entitled to compensation on account of supervising Tenant performed construction if and to the extent such compensation shall be provided for in the applicable Lease;
     3.29 The Agent shall be responsible for reviewing, or retaining and supervising professionals, to review, any plans or specifications for any Tenant changes or leasehold improvements in premises within the Property required by the provisions of any Lease and for planning and arranging for and monitoring the execution of any such work, which plans and specifications shall be subject to the approval of the Owner. The Agent shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to carry out any obligations of the Owner required to effect alterations or improvements to premises within the Property in connection with the leasing of such premises on a timely basis and in accordance with an Approved Budget so that the Tenant’s move into such premises is accomplished in accordance with the applicable Lease. The Agent shall also arrange payment of all inducements and improvements or other allowances as set out in an Approved Budget or as otherwise approved by the Owner to be paid in connection with Leases upon fulfillment of all conditions with respect to such payment and the Owner agrees to fund such payments in a timely manner;

     3.32 To prepare such customary reports, data, presentations, market surveys or other material as Owner reasonably requests in connection with the sale, refinancing, disposition or leasing of the Property;

     3.34 To recommend to Owner, where Agent deems it appropriate, programs for the rehabilitation, remodeling, repairs and marketing of the Property;
     3.35 To prepare and file on behalf of the Owner all Sales and Use Taxes returns relating to the Property and remit with such returns any net tax owing by the Owner on such returns. The Agent shall deposit any net tax refunds received in the accounts maintained for the Owner;

     3.37 To perform such other customary services on behalf of Owner with respect to the Property as shall be reasonably requested from time to time by Owner. If Owner and Agent disagree as to which services are customarily performed by property managers as aforesaid, Agent shall not be required to perform such service until resolution of such dispute, and such non-performance shall not be the basis of termination by Owner of this Agreement.
     4.  Structural Changes : Owner expressly withholds from Agent any power or authority to make any structural changes in any building or to make any other major alterations or additions in or to any such building or equipment therein, or to incur any expense chargeable to Owner other than expenses related to exercising the express powers above vested in Agent without the prior written approval of Owner (or any party that Owner shall direct), except such emergency repairs as may be required because of danger to life or property or which are immediately necessary for the preservation and safety of the Property or the safety of the occupants thereof or are required to avoid the suspension of any necessary service to the Property.
     5.  Payments to Owner : Agent agrees to remit promptly to the account designated by Owner, all receipts received in the prior calendar month with respect to the Property in excess of budgeted operating expenses and reserves. In the event that the amount of costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in the management of the Property exceed the amount held in trust by the Agent for the Owner, the Agent shall thereupon furnish the Owner with an accounting of same.
     6.  Owner to Provide Funds : Owner shall, at all times, provide necessary funds to maintain and operate the Property as efficiently as possible and in a first class manner in keeping with the standards of operations for similarly situated shopping centers in the area. Owner shall advance such funds to Agent no later than thirty (30) days after its receipt from Agent of notice of the necessity for such advance. Owner agrees to provide any anticipated cash deficits thirty (30) days prior to its occurrence.
     7.  Access to Books and Records : The Agent will, at reasonable intervals, and during normal business hours, on reasonable prior written notice, permit the Owner or RioCan REIT or the authorized agents of any of the foregoing to examine all books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Agent, where practicable in electronic format, relating to the services performed by the Agent under this Agreement for the Property and to make copies thereof and to make extracts therefrom. The Agent agrees with the Owner that, if in connection with any financing of the Property, any documentation is required in addition to the documentation provided for in this Article, the Agent shall fully co-operate with the Owner, at Owner’s expense, and deliver same to such person or entity as the Owner may designate. No such records shall be destroyed by the Agent within six (6) years of the making thereof without the prior approval of the Owner and RioCan REIT. The Agent shall co-operate with Owner’s auditor in the preparation of financial statements and their presentation to the Owner. The Agent shall co-operate with RioCan REIT’s internal auditor in relation to internal controls over financial reporting at RioCan REIT’s expense.
     8.  Auditors and Appraisers : The Agent shall make available to the Owner, the auditor, and to any appraiser such information and material as and when the same may be reasonably requested by the Owner or RioCan REIT and otherwise give such co-operation as may be reasonably necessary for such persons to carry

 


 

on their duties. The Agent shall assist in the conduct of any spot or internal audit that RioCan REIT requests to be performed from time to time, at RioCan REIT’s expense.
     9.  Budgets : The Agent shall prepare and submit to the Owner for its approval not later than ninety (90) days prior to the commencement of each year in the format required by the Owner with respect to the Property:
  (a)   an operating and cash flow budget for the next ensuing three (3) years to be calculated on a monthly basis for the next ensuing year and on an annual basis for the following two (2) years which budget shall set forth both anticipated gross revenues and operating expenses on an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP and which shall include the assumptions used in its preparation;
 
  (b)   an annual capital expenditure budget for the next ensuing three (3) years broken down on a monthly basis for the next ensuing year and on an annual basis for the following two (2) years;
 
  (c)   a leasing plan (which, once approved, shall become the “Approved Leasing Plan” for such year) for the next ensuing three (3) years broken down on a monthly basis for the next ensuing year and on an annual basis for the following two (2) years which shall set forth projected monthly or annual lease revenue for the next ensuing three (3) years for the Property and each Tenant including lease start date, lease termination date, renewal increase assumptions, renewal commencement assumptions, lease amounts, known tenant build-out cost assumptions and any other commentary of significance for each Tenant;
 
  (d)   commentary summarizing the principal conclusions and assumptions of the Approved Leasing Plan; and
 
  (e)   such other financial information as reasonably requested by the Owner.
               Each of the foregoing budgets and plans shall be in such detail as the Owner shall reasonably require. Agent shall make such reasonable modifications to each proposed pro forma budget it prepares in accordance with this Section 9 until Owner shall have approved the budget in writing (such budget when approved, the “Approved Budget”). During any period when the Advisory Board (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) shall fail to approve any proposed budget prior to the commencement of the fiscal year to which such budget relates, the Property shall be operated pursuant to the proposed budget for such fiscal year with respect to those portions approved by the Advisory Board and with respect to those portions not approved by the Advisory Board, in accordance with the prior year’s Approved Budget (except for non-recurring expenditures which shall be deemed removed from such prior year’s Approved Budget) with each non-approved line item increased by three and one-half percent (3.5%) from such prior year’s Approved Budget; provided , however , that expenditures by the Agent for Necessary Expenses (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) shall not be limited by amounts set forth in the prior year’s Approved Budget.
               The Agent shall from time to time as circumstances may warrant (but not less often than quarterly) prepare and submit to the Owner for its approval any proposed revisions to any previously Approved Budget, it being understood that where a budget revision is so submitted the previously Approved Budget will not be amended until the revision with respect to which approval of the Owner is sought, is approved by the Owner.

     In the event of a lease renewal or extension, the Leasing Commission payable to Agent shall be an amount equal to:
  (a)   two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the Minimum Rent payable during the lesser of (i) the entire renewal term of such Lease and (ii) the first five (5) years of the renewal term of such Lease, if the premises demised thereunder is less than 5,000 square feet of gross leasable area; and

These payments shall be deducted as allowed or made against Tenant’s rental under the Lease;
 
  (d)   amounts agreed to be paid by landlord to landlords of Tenant to satisfy, cancel or discharge Tenant’s obligations under its existing leases or agreements and losses incurred in assigning such leases or subletting such space.

The Disposition Fee shall be deemed earned, and, therefore, shall be paid, as and when title (by deed or transfer of ownership interests) to the Property closes and without regard to whether one or more outside brokers were engaged in connection with such sale or transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Agent or any of its affiliates shall be partners of any ultimate owner of the Owner (Agent or such affiliated partner(s) in their respective capacity as partners of Owner, being “Cedar Affiliated Partner(s)”), Agent shall not be entitled to a Disposition Fee hereunder in the event of any transfer of interests in Owner by and among any of the then existing partners of Owner or any sale or transfer by deed of the Property to any of the then existing partners of Owner.

     13.  Expenses : Owner shall reimburse Agent for reasonable, actual out of pocket expenses including telephone and facsimile charges, postage and express mail service and travel and food expenses incurred by Agent in connection with Agent’s on site supervision of the Property by Agent’s officers and personnel (evidenced by receipts submitted to Owner).

  (c)   In connection with any sale or financing of the Property, the Agent shall assist in the preparation of any required statement of adjustments and shall provide any ongoing services required in connection with the sale after closing, including, without limitation, collection of receivables, readjustment of the statement of adjustments and tenant billings, subject to the continuation of the term of this Agreement during any such period, including, without limitation, the payment of all fees provided hereunder to the Agent.

  2.   Cedar Shopping Centers Partnership, L.P. contributes U.S. Treasuries (or other marketable securities other than securities in companies that own real estate) comprising at least 10% of market value of CSC-Columbus LLC total gross assets. According to Phil. Code, § 19-1402(11)(b), the Definition of Real Estate Company includes a corporation that holds, directly or indirectly, ninety percent (90%) or more of the value of its assets, an interest in a real estate company. If greater than 10% of the assets of CSC-Columbus LLC at the time of the transfer consist of items other than interests in real estate or a real estate company, CSC-Columbus will not be a real estate company for Philadelphia transfer tax purposes. In determining the “value” of CSC-Columbus LLC, the gross assets are not netted by liabilities, Fed. Realty Inv. Trust v. Tax Review Board, No, 9902-0588 (Phil. 1999), aff’d, 769 A.2d 1255 (Pa.

Cmwlth. 2000) conversions are exempt from Pennsylvania realty transfer tax if there is identity of ownership before and after the conversion. Philadelphia regulations and rulings do not specifically address this type of conversion. However, a conversion of a general partnership to a limited partnership does not trigger Philadelphia realty transfer tax (provided the conversion along with any other ownership changes during the prior three years does not amount to an ownership change of 10 percent or more of the ownership interests in the partnership).
